Barcelona.

Heavy rain.

Robert drove back to Camp Nou.

Instead of returning to his own office, he excitedly went to find Enrique.

"Your place is really luxurious. The tradition of Barca's coaches for several generations was that cramped room of less than 20 square meters!"

"Tomorrow we face Atletico Madrid. I hope there are no surprises. As long as Leverkusen is eliminated and Barca defends the Champions League title again, no one can criticize us."

"What's that La Masia No. 4 player? Can't even get past Chelsea!"

Robert lit a cigar and said dismissively.

Enrique frowned, turned down the volume of the TV, and said, "It's normal. When Messi was 18, he didn't get past Chelsea either. Mourinho is the person in the world who knows La Masia No. 4 the best."

Robert said in surprise: "Don't joke. Although I was in Japan those years, I heard that Mourinho was just a translator at Barca."

Enrique shook his head and said, "He directed us to victory in many key battles."

Robert clapped and laughed: "I don't care so much. I just want to see Leverkusen eliminated."

....

BayArena.

The game resumed.

After a few slow passes in Chelsea's backfield.

They launched another offensive against Leverkusen.

Courtois kicked the ball from the backfield.

Fabregas, after receiving the ball, pressed his hand down towards the eager Ivanovic.

Then he passed it to Willian on the wing.

Leverkusen's defense was tested again...

...

From God's perspective.

All the event flows being replayed suddenly froze...

Countless dense red arrow lines disappeared one by one.

The shadow at the brain shrank wildly.

Deconstruction complete...

A negative emotion suddenly surged in Li Kang's heart.

Frustration.

He couldn't find any way for Leverkusen to advance to the opponent's penalty area.

Not to defeat.

Just to advance.

Like when the national football team plays against Australia, the ball simply can't cross the center circle.

......

42nd minute of the game.

Thirty-meter zone.

Hazard received Willian's wide pass.

Then he easily tore through Leverkusen's defense.

Bender and Kramer simply couldn't see the Chelsea winger's movements.

Jonathan Tah tried his best to chase back, but couldn't catch up!

Van Dijk had to give up Diego Costa and try to assist!

The instant they were close.

Hazard flicked the ball back with the outside of his right foot.

The ball was picked back to the arc of the penalty area.

Matic rushed up from behind and volleyed angrily!

Bang!

The goal frame shook violently.

The ball bounced out of the baseline.

"If Chelsea had been a little luckier today, the score would already be 0:3 or 0:4!"

"Last season, Schalke 04, with its luxurious lineup, was slaughtered by them with five goals in the Champions League!"

"Since the start of the game, Leverkusen has been beaten by Chelsea without any power to fight back. They haven't had a single chance to threaten the opponent's penalty area."

"Topp's tactical idea is to give up possession, but Chelsea's players are too strong with the ball."

Matic clapped his hands, encouraging his teammates.

Although he was transformed into a defensive midfielder by Mourinho, he was already a top attacking midfielder during his time at Benfica in the Portuguese Super League.

.....

Leno kicked the goal kick.

Papadopoulos almost made another mistake under Oscar's pressure.

Fortunately, Li Kang responded in time, and the ball was safely transitioned to the midfield.

Li Kang passed the ball to Kramer, who was in a better position.

The moment the latter stopped the ball.

Willian, who was wandering nearby, suddenly exploded with extremely terrifying speed, quickly pressing forward!

The ball flew out of bounds!

"Chelsea's throw-in..."

...

Kramer raised his hand towards Li Kang with apology.

Li Kang shook his head, indicating it was okay.

From God's perspective.

Chelsea's players maintained three lines.

Oscar, Willian, and Hazard in the frontcourt mainly targeted Leverkusen's midfield transition.

Matic and Fabregas in the midfield and backfield targeted Leverkusen's central tear.

On the defensive line, the two full-backs, Ivanovic and Azpilicueta, didn't need to move forward to participate in the attack at all, simply treating themselves as central defenders.

Leverkusen's situation was extremely difficult.

The midfield couldn't run out of space, and couldn't pass the ball.

Long passes from the backfield to find the strikers?

Even if the pass was good.

The strikers and wingers who received the ball couldn't break through Chelsea's defense.

What was even more terrifying was:

This was just Chelsea's tactics at this time...

What if the deconstruction was completed?

Mourinho's tactics had never changed much since he led Porto to win the Champions League.

Even if countless coaching teams analyzed weaknesses and loopholes, he could still complete a record of 150 unbeaten home games in nine consecutive years, spanning four leagues.

Football is a game of eleven people fighting for space.

....

Beep! Beep beep~

The referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

Leverkusen's players lowered their heads and left the field in frustration.

Captain Bender loudly encouraged his teammates.

It didn't help much.

The plot in the hot-blooded anime would not become reality.

Chelsea's players didn't have much emotional fluctuation.

Especially goalkeeper Courtois, who quickly put on a coat after leaving the field.

It was too cold.

He didn't move much in the entire first half.

He didn't even have a chance to make a save.

.....

Leverkusen's dressing room.

Dino replayed the tactical details of the first half with a frustrated tone.

Actually, there wasn't much to replay.

Leverkusen was completely dimensionaly reduced and beaten by Chelsea.

Other wealthy teams might have upset losses.

This Chelsea team, however, was the Premier League champion who was at the top of the table for the entire last season.

Old man Topp pulled Li Kang aside.

"Li, don't think too much. Don't worry about defense in the second half. Move your position forward!"

"Losing one goal is losing, and losing two is also losing..."

"I don't mean that the team has already lost. We still have a chance!"

The Leverkusen coach didn't have any way.

He felt that he was eliminated by the times.

This Chelsea team condensed Mourinho's hard work.

Li Kang nodded, and a strange wooden talisman suddenly appeared in his hand.

Advanced Lucky Charm?

He squeezed it slightly.

The wooden talisman turned into starlight, filling the entire dressing room.

....

Chelsea's dressing room.

Hiddink said encouraging words with a smile.

"If we continue to play like this, no one can stop us!"

"Our goal is the Champions League trophy!"

"Champion!"

Only Willian raised his fist in response.

The other Blues players had calm expressions.

Diego Costa reapplied hair wax.

Hazard adjusted his shin guards.

Fabregas closed his eyes to rest.

"Everyone, hurry up and rest."

Hiddink smiled happily and walked out of the dressing room.

The assistant coach said angrily: "Boss, they don't give you any face. You are..."

The Chelsea coach waved his hand:

"Shh, you should call me Boss when we coach a Premier League team!"

"They won't even give Mourinho face, why should they give me face?"

"Change Chelsea's tactics? I changed them, and the result was a complete defeat."

"Don't worry about the details off the field. We will safely transition through this period. Chelsea is already looking for a new coach!"

....

The fifteen-minute halftime break ended quickly.

"Good evening, friends. Welcome back!"

"We are now broadcasting the first leg of the 2015/16 Champions League quarter-final!"

"Leverkusen against Chelsea."

"The current score is 0:1!"

"Leverkusen has made a substitution. Brandt replaces Bellarabi!"

With the referee's whistle.

The second half of the game officially began.

Chelsea's possession.

Diego Costa kicked off.

After a few slow passes, the ball came to Fabregas' feet.

Chelsea No. 4 suddenly accelerated.

Not the speed of running.

But the speed of passing.

A super long diagonal pass like a sharp blade.

Pierced Leverkusen's midfield defense.

Oscar and Willian crossed positions, Papadopoulos failed to keep up with the rhythm.

The ball passed through the gap between the three!

It came to Ivanovic's feet.

"When did he start?"

"A simple and crude offensive!"

Kramer and Bender quickly retreated.

It was useless.

Ivanovic didn't even have the intention of going to the bottom line. He directly crossed!

The ball crashed into Leverkusen's penalty area.

Accurately found Diego Costa's head.

Van Dijk blocked desperately.

Bang!

The Chelsea striker's header was blocked out of the penalty area.

Çalhanoğlu rushed to the landing point.

At the same time.

Willian also rushed over like crazy.

....

By the side of the field.

Old man Topp was desperate.

Dino was stomping his feet anxiously.

Leverkusen's defense was a mess.

As long as Willian grabs this landing point, there will be many options that can threaten the goal.

Relying on Çalhanoğlu? Don't joke around!

On the other side.

Hiddink smiled with his hands in his pockets.

The coaching team didn't take that Çalhanoğlu into consideration at all.

....

Çalhanoğlu had just stopped the ball.

Willian arrived.

"This ball is going to be lost... Hey!"

"Why did Willian fall!"

"Perfect dribbling action!"

Çalhanoğlu subconsciously pulled the ball and turned around, barely avoiding Willian's falling body.

The audience was in an uproar!

The depressed home stands suddenly stirred!

At the moment of turning around, Çalhanoğlu heavily drew his left foot!

The ball drew a rainbow-like trajectory in the air and flew towards the center circle!

Leverkusen, your core is back!

Willian was lying on the grass, looking dazed:

Why was the grass so slippery?

The coaching team didn't have this guy's information in the pre-match analysis!

[Advanced Lucky Charm has expired!]

....

By the side of the field.

Dino exclaimed: "Boss! Your arrangement is perfect! The three-center-back and four-midfielder system allows Çalhanoğlu to serve as the backfield passer! And put Li at the front!"

Old man Topp looked embarrassed and coughed heavily.

On the other side.

Hiddink smiled: "It's useless..."

Before he finished speaking, his smile froze.

"What's going on!"

....

Near the center circle.

Li Kang's judgment on the landing point was extremely accurate.

The shadow at the brain spread wildly.

The phantom of the little pony in the field of vision suddenly appeared.

Matic and Fabregas followed closely!

The moment the ball landed!

Leverkusen's No. 10 jumped high like a beast!

The ball was headed one meter away.

Matic and Fabregas quickly took position.

The close-up sound equipment transmitted a burst of fierce hand-to-hand combat!

A shocking scene happened!

Li Kang rushed forward.

He squeezed through the gap between the two of them!

"Beautiful!"

"Amazing physical advantage!"

"Two top Premier League defensive midfielders can't stop him!"

.....

Matic and Fabregas were overturned to the ground.

The two didn't have time to be shocked.

They quickly got up and chased back.

Li Kang pushed the ball with his left foot.

The phantom of the little pony soared!

Accelerated again!

Brandt and Son Heung-min sprinted at high speed on both sides, quickly assisting!

"Three against three!"

"Leverkusen's best offensive opportunity!"

....

Terry was very calm. While directing Azpilicueta, he distanced himself from Cahill.

He was getting old.

Dealing with beasts like Leverkusen's No. 10 should be left to Cahill.

Li Kang ran wildly all the way.

From God's perspective.

Terry and Azpilicueta cut off the connection between himself and his two teammates.

Cahill was like a city wall.

The Eye of Truth exuded thick black smoke.

.....

Thirty-meter zone.

"Li Kang vs. Cahill!"

"Hey?"

Li Kang slowed down.

In his field of vision, a phantom of a red and blue jersey suddenly appeared!

Ronaldinho!

Devil's Curve!

He gently pushed the ball forward with his left foot.

Started to run.

With each step he took.

The black phantom became clearer.

The positive emotions emanating from it devoured Li Kang's consciousness!

Matic and Fabregas, who were chasing back, were only a little short of touching Leverkusen's No. 10's jersey!

.....

Li Kang's steps, movements and phantoms gradually synchronized!

Came to the ball.

He completely overlapped with the black phantom.

From God's perspective.

A shooting line with black smoke suddenly appeared!

....

The BayArena was silent.

Everyone was staring intently at the North Rhine genius on the field!

Impeccable shooting posture.

Bang!

With a bang.

The ball rose from the ground and drew a weird arc in the air, crashing towards Chelsea's goal!

Cahill was dumbfounded.

Why was that kid smiling?

....

Courtois was very calm.

He jumped high, trying to take down this long shot that wasn't very powerful!

The moment his hands were about to resolve the danger.

A weird scene happened!

The ball was like a kite with a broken string.

Suddenly accelerated.

Suddenly dived.

It quietly passed his fingertips!

Close to the crossbar.

Fell into the goal.

1:1!!!

After the time seemed to freeze for a few seconds.

Tens of thousands of fans in the BayArena simultaneously let out a cry of exclamation.

"Devil's Curve!"

"Incredible long shot!"

"Beautiful!"

"This ball is in!"

"Young player Li Kang used a ghostly arc long shot to skillfully break through Chelsea's goal!"

"Leverkusen equalized the score! It's too unexpected!"

.....

Livestream.

The big screen replayed the goal in slow motion.

The barrage was frantically swiping.

-[Li Mingdeng is awesome! 666!]

-[How was this kind of ball kicked out? The power isn't very strong, but the arc is so weird?]

-[Football is round!]

-[Superb footwork!]

-[Did Courtois want to go for a drink? There was a problem with his positioning!]

-[Chelsea's defense team didn't even have a chance to face Li Mingdeng head-on!]

-[Will this ball be counted as an assist from Çalhanoğlu?]

-[If Willian didn't slip, how could Leverkusen pass the ball out?]
