Chapter 147 Snowdrop

2017, Germany welcomed its warmest March since 1881.

Snowdrops bloomed, a sign that spring had arrived.

Compared to previous years, their flowering season was a full half-month early.

All things recovered.

Throughout North Rhine-Westphalia, wherever there was sunlight, there was beer.

A business vehicle drove along a winding mountain road.

The little assistant was still watching the news, her expression gradually twisting: "Several fraud cases have occurred in London. The scammers say that spending 300,000 euros will allow a superstar to toast the client! Who would be so foolish to fall for that?"

"I saw a comment below an Arsenal battle report: Balotelli is world-class below the neck, Morata is world-class above the neck, haha!"

Li Kang couldn't help but laugh.

The tablet in his hand was replaying the first leg of the Champions League match between Monaco and Juventus:

The dark horse did not continue its miracle. The attacking group composed of Mbappé, B. Silva, Falcao, and Lemar completely misfired.

Buffon led the Juventus defense, giving the impression that they were leisurely drinking coffee.

Juventus' two goals were orchestrated by Pjanic and Dybala, with Alves providing assists and Higuain finishing.

That's right.

Alves, who was abandoned by Barcelona and joined Juventus as a free transfer, was named the best player of the match.

God's perspective silently recorded the changes in the Zebra Army's 3-4-1-2 formation.

Monaco was stunned and passively entered the opponent's "health spa" rhythm.

To date, Allegri, who never plays by the rules, has deployed eight different starting formations in this Champions League, with as many as fourteen variations derived on the spot.

Since losing to MSN in the Champions League final, the Juventus coach's ability to change formations on the spot has been like a cheat, continuously skyrocketing.

The little assistant asked curiously, "Li, do you hope Arsenal will meet Juventus in the semi-finals?"

Li Kang shook his head.

It takes a lot of energy to use your brain to break the game during a match.

Juventus' ability to exploit weaknesses is too strong.

An hour later.

The business vehicle slowly drove into the ancient town of Veltins.

Ms. Sandra greeted him enthusiastically: "Li, your performance against Bayern was just too handsome! Sorry, I'm a Borussia Mönchengladbach fan."

Li Kang had always thought that the other party was a Schalke 04 fan. Since 2001, the Veltins Group has sponsored Schalke 04 with a comprehensive fee of more than 10 million euros each year.

The little assistant took a small gift box from the trunk: "Ms. Sandra, this is from Mr. Voller for you personally, to thank you for taking care of Li."

Ms. Sandra didn't react for a moment. All that came to her mind was the German hero of her youth - Voller.

Without too much small talk.

Everyone got back into the business vehicle and headed to the filming base.

Claudia had a cold, so Li Kang didn't have the opportunity to see her today.

The two of them don't usually communicate much on social networks.

The professor learned that a little German girl had pointed a gun at Li Kang, and recommended several psychology books, asking Li Kang to share them with her.

Filming base.

The bearded director waved excitedly.

"Li, your partner this time is not a football, but a girl... Yes, Veltins' contract that prohibits filming advertisements with women has expired!"

"Sandra, Veltins' choice of spokespersons is too wise!"

"Let's hurry up!"

The little assistant stood on tiptoe, cautiously looking at the back of the girl in the crowd: "If that little girl wears high heels, she'll be as tall as Li!"

The bearded director laughed: "Don't worry, our filming theme is very healthy, no high heels or anything like that!"

The content of the advertisement is very simple.

Li Kang's partner is named Esther Hitsch, who is two years older than him.

She is very good-looking and nearly six feet tall.

But the brain shadow doesn't need to limit dopamine at all.

Of course, it's definitely not because her breasts are small.

Must be self-disciplined.

Can't like every girl you see.

"Li, you have to stand closer!"

"A little closer!"

"Okay, it's okay if you don't want to get close."

The bearded director patted the bag at his feet, which contained several more Arsenal Champions League away jerseys.

Esther is very professional, and her expression does not contain any emotional fluctuations. She is a Bayern fan. This kid eliminated Bayern yesterday, causing her to cry for half an hour.

Even so, the two politely added each other's social accounts after filming.

Ms. Sandra saw this and inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

She secretly sighed in her heart: Li, like Mr. Voller, is an upright hero who will not be tempted.

A moment later, Li Kang dragged out a suitcase and asked Sandra to give it to Claudia.

Inside were some handicrafts and specialties purchased in Gijón.

Pleasant emotions will help patients recover faster.

Li Kang certainly hoped that Claudia would get better soon, preferably before the Champions League semi-finals.

In the battle with the Bundesliga giants, he almost exhausted his cheat-like energy.

Night fell quietly.

The Apennine Peninsula.

The Galactic Battleship goes on expedition, and the Lightning Legion awaits in full battle array.

Naples fans, who have repeatedly committed acts of racial discrimination, threw banana peels at Real Madrid's backcourt.

Imitating the sound of a gorilla: "Bububu"

Marcelo, Pepe, Casemiro and others received "special" treatment.

That's not enough.

Whenever Modrić took the ball, some extreme Naples fans shouted: "zingaro!!!"

Mocking the other party as a Gypsy.

That's right, Eastern Europeans and Yugoslavs, in their eyes, are as dirty as Gypsies.

It is difficult for people of color to live in Naples.

Including their own players.

Of course, Maradona, from the third world, is an exception.

Serie A is perhaps the league with the most serious racial discrimination.

Balotelli has a deep understanding of this.

Although Zidane had a bad temper when he was young, he asked his disciples to remain calm at this moment: use goals to respond to everything!

So the Galactic Battleship went all out.

Naples doesn't have a Maradona of this era.

In the end, what awaited them was the outcome of being eliminated.

Principality of Monaco.

Stade Louis II.

Mbappé was exhausted, looking at the Juventus' unbreakable defense, his eyes still firm.

The game time passed imperceptibly.

The scene was dull.

Juventus led 4:0 on aggregate.

So far in this season's Champions League journey, they have only conceded 2 goals.

The Serie A leader's defensive group stopped the youth storm in Monaco from roaring.

69th minute of the match.

Mbappé received a cross from a teammate at the baseline and scored with one kick.

Broke Buffon's goal.

"A great record is born. Mbappé and Buffon's birthdays are 7,621 days apart. The two have created the biggest age difference between the goalscorer and the goalkeeper in Champions League history!"

The end.

The Champions League semi-finalists for the 2016/17 season are out.

Arsenal.

Atlético Madrid.

Real Madrid.

Juventus.

No matter which team wins the championship, there is a great significance behind it.
