North Rhine-Westphalia.

Leverkusen training base.

The weather was fine, the birds were singing, and the flowers were fragrant.

In the corridor leading to the tactics classroom, the walls were covered with carefully framed photos.

The black-haired figure wearing the number 10 Leverkusen jersey had long been imprinted in the dreams of every young player in the Leverkusen youth team.

In the classroom.

A fat man wearing black-framed glasses drew lines on the blackboard.

"Take good notes! Li studied very hard back then. He is the pride of our Leverkusen training program."

"Teacher! Li came from the La Masia training camp."

A young player suddenly raised his hand.

The immature voice that had not yet entered puberty interrupted the deep voice, and several sleepy young players were awakened.

Teacher Berenata adjusted his glasses.

"Incorrect. La Masia does not allow players to practice physical fitness before the age of 15, and does not instill tactics other than the 'total football' system before the age of 16."

"Li was able to lead his team to overcome the strong with the weak because of his tactical understanding and ability to read the defensive line."

"His character is also very good. No matter how great his achievements, he will not become estranged from us old friends."

"Settle down!"

"Professional players must learn to settle themselves!"

"Where were we just now?"

"Conte and Tuchel's three-center-back system..."

"Chelsea is the most vivid example."

"Let's predict their regular lineup for next season."

"3-4-3!"

"Goalkeeper: Courtois."

"Defenders: Azpilicueta, Cahill, Rudiger."

"Midfielders: Moses, Kanté, Li Kang, Marcos Alonso."

"Forwards: Hazard, Diego Costa, William."

"If you were Tuchel..."

He was interrupted again by a childish voice.

"Teacher, does this lineup still need to study tactics?"

The news of Li Kang joining Chelsea was just waiting for the official announcement from the club and the player himself.

It felt like rushing to the toilet in a hurry, just about to pull down your pants.

Southern Greece.

The sky was blue and the waves were surging.

Havertz sat on the yacht, holding his mobile phone, scrolling through transfer news again and again.

His expression became more and more anxious.

Brandt asked suspiciously, "Kai, why haven't you brought your girlfriend over recently?"

Havertz didn't even lift his head. "She insulted Asians online. I'm ignoring her. Why hasn't Chelsea announced it yet? Are they waiting for a special day?"

"Can't you just ask Li himself to confirm the transfer information?"

"No, asking will ruin the anticipation."

Brandt: "..."

The Leverkusen Gemini and Li Kang contacted each other very frequently, and they always had endless topics to talk about on social media.

Not long ago, Ms. Skaya came to North Rhine-Westphalia, not just to take away a Dino, but also to bring the Gemini to Stamford Bridge. In the end, Voller refused: they are still young and need the guarantee of playing time, and they have to practice in the Bundesliga for a few more years.

On a small boat in the distance.

Bellarabi shielded his eyes with his hand and shouted, "Hakan, it's Kai and them! What a coincidence! Come on, let's say hello."

Çalhanoğlu lay back in his chair, the cold expression under his sunglasses enough to melt the sun, and said indifferently, "There's no need. I'm going to a real giant next season."

The little black egg looked confused: Does saying hello have anything to do with joining a giant?

"We're not on the same level, you know?"

"They are both still very young and may not be able to realize their potential. Maybe they will be stuck in mid-to-lower-tier teams in a few years, but I am different. At 23, I can become the core of a giant's midfield."

"The difference between first-class stars and third-rate stars... is like the distance between the sun and the sea!"

"Times are changing."

"Li's transfer fee record of 200 million has also been surpassed by Mbappé and Neymar this year."

A sea breeze blew.

A newspaper next to the chair floated up and spun a few times in the air before covering Bellarabi's crotch.

The newspaper cover was: 《Official Announcement: Çalhanoğlu Officially Joins AC Milan, Inheriting the Legendary Number 10 Jersey!》

Sardinia.

Hazard put down his hamburger and smiled as he greeted a group of enthusiastic Chelsea fans.

The agent skillfully raised the camera.

Click.

A small fan took the opportunity to secretly pinch the Premier League dribbling king's big belly.

A moment later.

Two sports reporters also ran forward.

"Give up the number 10 jersey? Of course I'm willing. That's Li!"

"Not disciplined? I will lose weight within two weeks before the start of the season."

There are too many things to bear as the core of Chelsea.

With a Li in the midfield, he can be completely liberated in all aspects, whether it is in terms of public opinion or tactics.

Some things are like a crown, a glory, but also a shackle.

Hazard waved his arms excitedly, and the fat on his belly trembled with it.

July 10th.

Chelsea's official website released a message: 《Li Kang Officially Joins Chelsea.》

The black-haired figure wearing the number 10 jersey dyed the homepages of all sports media blue!

'Two hundred and fifty million!'

'Invincible Myth · Triple Crown Midfield Core, Reigning at Stamford Bridge!'

Blue.

A sea of blue.

The blue that detonated the world!

Two hundred and fifty million?

Breaking the world transfer fee record again.

The entire European football world seemed to be trembling slightly: What era is this? Buying an injured Li Kang for 250 million?

-

[The finale is here. Chelsea's lineup next season will sweep Europe. I'll eat sh*t if they don't win the treble!]

-

[Tuchel: Best European Coach of the 17-18 season, mine.]

-

[What if Li Mingdeng is affected by injuries and cannot live up to his price tag?]

-

[It doesn't matter. He is Sheva in Abu's mind. It's okay to spend any amount of money to support him.]

-

[Not to mention Sheva, Crespo was also supported all the time. Chelsea was willing to pay money every year even when they loaned him out.]

While Chelsea dominated the top of the trending list... Barcelona actually followed closely behind!

'The 1 million euros that can never be crossed, in installments!'

The third most popular search term was Leverkusen.

'The myth of the transfer market, legendary director - Voller, Leverkusen happily accepts the secondary transfer income!'

North Rhine-Westphalia.

Pfft!

Voller sprayed his assistant's face with water and slammed the table in anger, "A myth of transfers? An angel director? Why don't they write about my nicknames as a player and coach?"

Immediately afterwards.

Arsenal's official website released a message: 《Sports Director - Robert Leaves Office, Thank You for His Contribution to the Gunners.》

Islington fans were dumbfounded.

Contribution?

What did he contribute in three months of employment?

This guy sold Li and is Arsenal's eternal sinner!

Barcelona Airport.

Robert, who had been subjected to death threats from extremist fans, breathed a sigh of relief.

"I am safe when I return to this beautiful land of Catalonia."

"Look, there are so many Barca fans here to welcome me, security! Security!"

July 11, 2017.

Li Kang, wearing the number 10 jersey, arrived at Stamford Bridge in the eyes of the world.

The blue that never fades.
