Dear Gua
Chapter 282 Halfway Champion? (Fast Forward Chapter, Read with Caution)
Asia tour ends.
Li Kang and his teammates took a plane back to Madrid.
On the plane.
De Gea hammered the tablet from time to time with his fist.
"This new football game... Chelsea is a bit ridiculously strong! Doesn't the manufacturer want to make money?"
"It turns out it was Abramovich who invested?"
Li Kang was also playing.
The club chosen at the beginning was Arsenal, but after the 15-16 season, not to mention the second in the Premier League in reality... they couldn't even compete for fourth place!
Even if all pre-match deployments were set up and tactics were quickly adjusted on the spot, it was still no match for the wave of injuries in the second half of the Premier League season.
He couldn't help but sigh: What has Wenger experienced all these years? How did he manage to bring the team to the top four in the Premier League every year?
However, in the Champions League Round of 16, he still let Arsenal ravage "himself" from Leverkusen.
...
The next day.
Las Rozas training base.
There was still plenty of time before the international match day.
After training.
Carvajal handed Li Kang a banana: "Li, why don't you go to our Real Madrid training ground for a walk? You will definitely like it!"
The Real Madrid training base is 40 times larger than the Bernabéu, and has the most advanced and luxurious facilities and equipment on the planet.
"That's right! Even birds can't cross the base's sky in a short time."
"Zidane is there almost every day!"
Vázquez and Asensio chimed in.
Isco couldn't help but interject, "What's so good about visiting the training ground? It's better to go to Malaga to bask in the sun... Hey? Ramos, let go of me!"
...
Martinez seized the opportunity: "Li, there are still several days before the start of the Premier League, why not go to Munich for a walk?"
Morata thought for a while and said, "Maybe we'll have a chance to go there in the Champions League Round of 16..."
The morning sun dispelled the white fog.
Fallen leaves fell on the benches by the field.
Del Bosque watched this scene with a smile, without stopping the players from joking around.
The transition between the old and new generations of the Matador Corps doesn't seem to be as bad as imagined.
He has to accompany Li to finish the World Cup two years later!
...
Not far away.
Milla led King Felipe VI and a young girl over.
There was also a group of bodyguards accompanying them.
The players looked at each other: Just for winning a friendly match, the royal family is coming to慰问?
"Li!"
"You are a gift from God to the Iberian Peninsula!"
Felipe VI excitedly held Li Kang's hand and kept repeating what he had said during their last meeting.
The royal girl was about sixteen or seventeen years old, and her appearance was seventy or eighty percent similar to that of the eldest princess. At this time, she was holding a white Spanish No. 6 away jersey tightly, her cheeks were slightly red, and her eyes revealed nervousness and anticipation.
"Irene! Haven't you been arguing with Leonor about wanting Li's autographed jersey... what are you hiding for?"
"Li is our hero, he won't refuse your request!"
Felipe VI's tone wasn't that firm.
To be embarrassing, this mascot wasn't rejected by a star for the first time.
If he embarrassed himself in front of his niece...
Li Kang nodded politely, took the autograph pen and away jersey from the royal girl, and signed his name.
It was still some crooked handwriting, but it was a lot better than during the European Cup.
It's difficult to improve handwriting in a short period of time.
Irene couldn't hide the joy in her heart, and almost couldn't help but want to get closer to the hero of the Iberian Peninsula.
Which girl doesn't harbor springtime feelings?
Especially in the season of youth.
Isco's positioning was very timely, nipping the girl's budding springtime feelings in the bud.
"Li, if we can meet in the Champions League, you must exchange jerseys with me!"
Pfft!
Everyone couldn't help but laugh.
Felipe VI quickly chimed in, "Li, I'm really looking forward to you returning to the Bernabéu!"
A moment later.
Li Kang and Irene added each other's social media accounts.
The Spanish royal family left.
The royal girl looked back from time to time, this action caused her teammates to tease Li Kang.
Li Kang didn't have any random thoughts, he picked up the football again, and the team's training resumed as usual.
Del Bosque said with satisfaction: "Not bad, Li should communicate more with the girls of Castile."
Morata on the bench suddenly became alert: "Boss, I have an older sister..."
...
The international match day ended.
Li Kang's social media account had many new friends: Morata's sister, Carvajal's sister, De Gea's sister, Isco's cousin...
After returning to London.
He returned to a peaceful and monotonous life, welcoming rounds of fierce challenges.
Premier League Round 8.
Arsenal hosts Swansea.
《The Gunners Can't Beat the Black Swan?》
Swansea's team emblem is a black swan.
They also have another nickname called: The Jacks.
The head coach is a rare American coach - Bob Bradley.
Bradley is not an unknown person.
He once led the United States team to the 2010 World Cup.
The game wasn't suspenseful.
Swansea's midfield core, Ki Sung-yueng, was no match for Cazorla and Xhaka!
Arsenal eventually defeated their opponent 4:0.
Li Kang had one assist and one goal, and was once again named the best player of the game.
...
Premier League Round 9.
Li Kang and his teammates came to the northeastern city of Sunderland.
《Gunners' Decline Begins to Show, Black Cats Break Through Strongly!》
They will be visiting the Black Cats - Sunderland.
The head coach of this club is the famous Dutch coach - Advocaat.
Facing another opponent whose goal is to stay in the Premier League.
The unstoppable Arsenal's luck wasn't too good at the start.
In the 8th minute of the game, Januzaj, produced by Manchester United's youth training, helped Sunderland win a penalty, and Defoe scored.
Sunderland 1:0 Arsenal!
The subsequent development was very serious.
Arsenal stars launched a fierce attack!
The opponent actually produced a talented young goalkeeper - Pickford! He made incredible saves, causing scouts from all over England to applaud.
Finally.
The score was rewritten to 1:4!!!
....
Premier League Round 10.
Arsenal hosts Norwich!
《Canaries dispel the London Chill!》
This club's nickname is the "Canaries".
Asian fans prefer to call it "Honey Badger".
Because Norwich at this time, no matter what opponent they encounter, always insist on playing offensively!
Still no upset ending was born.
Arsenal created a 6:0 massacre!
...
Winter is coming.
Wenger also put on a thick down jacket, the only thing that hasn't changed is that bright red tie.
The expected injuries are gradually happening to the players, but Li Kang's performance on the field is getting better and better!
Premier League Round 11.
Arsenal 2:0 Bournemouth.
Li Kang scored twice.
Champions League group stage, Round 4.

...
Champions League group stage, Round 5.
Wenger considered the players' physical reserves and made a significant rotation.
Arsenal 1:1 Monaco.
Premier League Round 13.
Watford vs. Arsenal.
It wasn't that the opponent's defense was solid, but Morata, Cazorla, and Sanchez's goals were all ruled offside or attacking fouls!
Fortunately, in the final stage of injury time, Li Kang scored with a powerful long shot! Helping Arsenal continue their winning streak!
Media reporters rushed to spread the news: 《The Gunners' Unbeaten Myth Continues!》
On the scorer list, Li Kang surpassed Kane to rank first.
On the assist list, among the names of talented midfielders such as De Bruyne and Fabregas, a striker's name was mixed in: Morata!
Of course, there were also many different voices among the Premier League legends.
Gary Neville publicly stated: "Arsenal are strong contenders for the mid-season title every season, but what happens? The wave of injuries will make the Premier League title suspense reappear!"
...
Champions League group stage, Round 6.
Barcelona visited the Emirates Stadium and ushered in a life-and-death battle for qualification.
