The screen filled with comments.

-【Requesting information: what's the story between Leverkusen and Chelsea?】

-【Isn't there not much of a story? The Champions League group stage clash in 2011 was exciting, and the two clubs have a history of frequent transfer deals: Schürrle, Torres, including Ballack's return to North Rhine...】

-【In 2013, one of the most talked-about transfer topics, 22-year-old Schürrle left Leverkusen and joined Chelsea.】

-【At the time, Leverkusen wanted Chelsea's young player, De Bruyne, but for some reason, the transfer was stopped.】

-【Li Mingdeng's Champions League journey has been against very strong opponents... Besides the difference in the strength of the players, the team's style of play is always severely countered!】

-【Hiddink has twice become Chelsea's interim coach, continuing Mourinho's style of play, but occasionally makes mistakes.】

....

Stamford Bridge.

Abramovich smiled broadly when he saw the result on the TV screen.

He gently patted the sofa, looked up at Ms. Skaia standing beside him, and asked, "Should I be happy, or regretful?"

Several assistants around him were puzzled by these words.

Chelsea drawing Leverkusen is certainly something to be happy about.

After Mourinho's dismissal, Chelsea players have been playing like they've been injected with chicken blood in recent league games, vaguely returning to their peak form from last season!

Regret?

What's there to regret?

That Leverkusen's core midfielder might not even join Chelsea in the summer transfer window!

.....

Nyon, UEFA headquarters.

The draw ceremony was not yet over.

The final matchup was certain, but the order of home and away games still needed to be drawn.

According to UEFA rules: the team drawn first will play the first leg at home.

Pirlo and Xavi successively opened the last two small balls.

At this point.

The quarter-final matchups for the Champions League were revealed:

Juventus vs Bayern Munich!

Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid!

Leverkusen vs Chelsea!

Real Madrid vs Manchester City!

The draw ceremony entered its final stage.

The player representatives of the Champions League quarter-finalists were invited to the main stage.

Media reporters scrambled to raise their cameras, and flashes of light went wild.

Li Kang and the shining stars of this era left a group photo.

...

After the draw ceremony.

UEFA held an outdoor dinner.

The coaches of each club were surrounded by reporters.

A Spanish reporter asked, "Mr. Toppmöller, I'm a reporter from *Marca*. Are you satisfied with Leverkusen's draw?"

Toppmöller glanced at Hiddink.

The latter smiled politely.

What a stupid question to ask?

Whether he answered that he was satisfied or not, it would be disrespectful to Chelsea!

"*Leverkusen Coach Very Satisfied with Draw: Chelsea Too Weak!*"

"*Leverkusen Coach Very Unsatisfied with Draw: Chelsea Not Worthy of Being Opponents!*"

That's the style of the football tabloid trash!

Another reporter asked, "Mr. Toppmöller, there are rumors that Leverkusen, Li Kang, and Chelsea have reached a transfer agreement in advance for the summer transfer window..."

Toppmöller quickly interrupted, "Wait, I've heard many versions of that rumor, it's just that Chelsea's name is replaced by Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal, and Barcelona..."

Simeone stepped forward and pushed the reporter away, displeased, "You forgot Atletico Madrid's name."

Pellegrini frowned and sighed, "Join Atletico Madrid? You'll turn Li into a goalkeeper, his creativity will be worn down."

Everyone laughed.

The originally malicious rumors instantly vanished.

The reporters gradually shifted the topic to other stars.

Not far away.

Enrique and Robert smiled reluctantly.

The words '1 million euros' 'installment payment' echoed in their minds, lingering.

"Results can prove everything!"

"Barcelona is more than just a club, no player is indispensable!"

.......

On another note.

The player representatives were also giving interviews to the media.

Buffon knows sign language.

He earnestly made strange gestures to Li Kang, and then relayed them to the reporters.

"The climate here is nice."

"The moon is beautiful tonight."

"It's impossible to return to Barcelona in this lifetime, my childhood dream team was Juventus..."

The reporters obviously wouldn't believe the last half of the sign language translation.

The number 4 from La Masia, how could his childhood dream team be Juventus, AC Milan is more like it!

...

Messi was hesitating.

Hesitating whether to talk to Li Kang.

He knows the team's potential aging problem, and it may not be long before Barcelona falls from the altar...

Iniesta is getting old and frequently injured.

Rakitić's abilities are comprehensive, but he is not the core midfielder that the team needs.

The MSN combination, the South American trident, is not invincible in every situation.

The number 4 from La Masia, his value to Barcelona cannot be measured with money.

If 18-year-old Li Kang is willing to return to Camp Nou, Barcelona will usher in a new dynasty.

After holding it in for a long time.

Messi finally made a decision.

He is very proud in his bones and rarely takes the initiative to exchange jerseys with others.

All this is only because he loves Barcelona deeply.

Then, he slowly walked towards the Leverkusen number 10 not far away.

Suddenly.

A young girl's figure suddenly rushed out, blocked his position, and rushed to Li Kang before him.

Messi: "..."

The superstar sighed helplessly and turned to walk away.

Poor Messi, why doesn't he think: inviting Li Kang to join the Argentine national team, is it more likely than returning to Barcelona?

Of course, neither is feasible.

.....

Esli was a little nervous, her heart pounding.

She had prepared many words, but when she came to Li Kang, she couldn't say a single word.

Alas, which girl doesn't yearn for spring.

Under the bright moonlight, the girl whispered, and all the words eventually turned into one sentence:

"Li, I want to..."

"Li! We have to go!"

Völler's loud voice was like a rumbling thunder.

It was also like the tracks of a heavy tank, crushing all the girl's feelings.

Li Kang took two steps back and politely nodded goodbye to Esli.

Tactical mentor Bernt Thalen said: "People's social energy is very limited, don't have unnecessary contact with multiple members of the opposite sex at the same time."

Seeing this scene.

The reporters nearby couldn't conjure up the idea of writing a scandal.

What could they write?

"*How to Politely Reject the Affection of the Opposite Sex?*"

"*The Self-Disciplined Prince of North Rhine?*"

These positive news stories have no traffic at all.

.....

UEFA arranged accommodation for the club representatives in Geneva.

Coincidentally.

The hotel is located by the lake.

Below the sign is a string of numbers: 2002.

Völler patted Toppmöller on the shoulder and laughed, "In 2002, I led the German team to the World Cup runner-up, and you led Leverkusen to the Treble Runner-Up..."

Toppmöller curled his lips, "Damn it, UEFA must be doing it on purpose!"

Li Kang smiled and closed the travel guide.

UEFA is not doing it on purpose.

Geneva joined the United Nations in 2002, member states of the World Trade Organization came here to open consulates one after another, and many hotels were built in that year.
