Dear Gua
Chapter 100 Champions League Round of 16 is Out!
Völler, with a cigar in his mouth, shook the match and said, "I don't think Li is sick. Let that old swindler Harken go through the motions!"
....
The next day.
Bayer Leverkusen set aside a 100-square-meter conference room in the dormitory area.
Li Kang met his psychiatrist: a fellow Dragon Country compatriot.
"Li, competitive sports require a mental strength that transcends technique. Catalonia and North Rhine-Westphalia are too culturally barren. As a Chinese, you should be exposed to the traditional culture of Dragon Country!"
The curtain slowly fell.
A familiar music came from the sound equipment on both sides.
*Yun Gong Xun Yin*?
The 1986 Journey to the West?
The assistant's face was full of black lines.
He suspected that this psychiatrist sent by Dr. Harken didn't even have a license.
If it weren't to deal with the FIFA Minor Monitoring Committee, letting Li go out to shoot more commercials would be the most practical thing to do.
A moment later.
The picture paused.
"Let's talk about the differences between Eastern and Western mythology systems, and the influence on faith!"
"Li, do you think faith is still needed in this era?"
The assistant was so angry that he was about to vomit blood: What the hell? This is pushing depression towards dementia!
....
Time passed quickly.
Li Kang's life was peaceful and monotonous, rushing between four points: training, tactics class, cultural class, watching TV series...
Although the psychiatrist was a big忽悠 (hū you, con artist), it was still interesting to have someone to accompany him and chat in his boring life.
The fourth round of the Champions League group stage arrived.
Bayer Leverkusen will travel to the Dnieper River to challenge BATE Borisov!
After careful consideration by Old Man Toppmöller and the coaching staff, they decided to let the three young players Li Kang, Havertz, and Brandt take turns to rest!
Çalhanoğlu was overjoyed when he learned that he was back in the Champions League starting lineup!
Bayer Leverkusen! Your core is back!
Weak BATE Borisov will be the sacrifice for my comeback!
He immediately notified his agent to suspend contact with the Serie A giants and seize pre-match public relations!
On the day of Bayer Leverkusen's expedition, the German media seemed to have received money: "The Strongest Person is Already in the Team! The Dnieper River Will Tremble Under the Crescent Moon!"
.....
Dinamo Minsk Stadium.
"Hakan, I'm counting on you in this game!"
"In the 12/13 season, BATE Borisov once defeated Bayern 3-1 at home! Bayern were the Champions League champions that season!"
"Don't be too stressed! We can qualify with a draw!"
Old Man Toppmöller earnestly encouraged the trembling Çalhanoğlu!
Heavy snow!
Bitterly cold wind!
Even the football is a special red!
Çalhanoğlu's eyes were dull. He looked at the burly 毛熊 (Máo Xióng, Russian) men of BATE Borisov in the distance and was terrified: Aren't they afraid of the cold? Washing their faces with snow with their bare chests!
....
Only 2 minutes into the game.
Bayer Leverkusen conceded a goal!
Gordeichuk received a long pass from his teammate at the top of the penalty area, shook off the defenders in two steps, and blasted a grounder!
Leno's prediction was accurate, but he didn't adapt to the frigid climate, and his limbs seemed to be frozen, and the squatting action was half a beat slow!
The football passed through his crotch and slid into the goal!
1:0! ! !
In the following game.
BATE Borisov set up a bus!
Bayer Leverkusen's offense could not create too much threat.
Whenever Çalhanoğlu received the ball in the thirty-meter area, a burly 毛熊 (Máo Xióng, Russian) man would come forward and ravage him frantically!
When humans are in a low-temperature environment, the blood supply to the muscles is less, or even insufficient, which will significantly reduce the threshold for skin pain!
....
Dino and Old Man Toppmöller, wrapped in coats, didn't seem to care about the outcome of the game.
"Boss! Aren't we fighting for the first place in the group?"
At the same time.
The distant Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal vs Olympiacos.
The assistant coach also asked this question.
Wenger's expression was complicated: "If we qualify as the first in the group, we are likely to draw Barca..."
Five years of college entrance examination and three years of simulation!
呸呸呸! (Pēi pēi pēi! – An expression to ward off bad luck)
It's five years of Bayern, three years of Barca!
Every year, Arsenal emerges from the Champions League group stage, and their opponents in the knockout stage are either Bayern or Barca!
The result is that they stop in the round of 16 every year.
Once or twice is fine.
But it's been going on for so many years!
According to the draw rules: teams in the same group will not meet in the round of 16 knockout stage.
Bayern can be crossed out.
Then, there is only one answer.
.....
Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.
Real Madrid didn't show any mercy.
They bloodbathed Malmö, the Swedish Super League overlord, 8:0!
The Galaxy Battleship doesn't care about the qualification situation of other groups at all, they are fighting for first place.
Anyway, they won't encounter their two nemesis, Barca and Atletico Madrid.
....
Estadio Vicente Calderón.
Atletico Madrid lost 0:1 to Benfica.
Assistant coach Burgos praised, "The young guys in the youth team performed very well, only losing one goal!"
Simeone put his hands in his pockets and joked, "I can't wait to tie that kid from Leverkusen to Madrid! It would be best to meet Leverkusen in the round of 16!"
....
Dinamo Minsk Stadium.
Beep! Beep beep~
The referee blew the whistle to end the game.
Thanks to Kiessling's header, Bayer Leverkusen equalized the score at the last moment.
Çalhanoğlu lay on his back on the snow, his limbs numb and his face bruised.
Snowflakes fluttered, the north wind howled, and the world was vast.
......
When Bayer Leverkusen returned to North Rhine-Westphalia.
The list for the Champions League round of 16 was released!
Major media outlets began to report:
Group A: Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain;
Group B: PSV Eindhoven, Wolfsburg;
Group C: Benfica, Atletico Madrid;
Group D: Manchester City, Juventus;
Group E: Bayer Leverkusen, Barca;
Group F: Bayern Munich, Arsenal;
Group G: Chelsea, Porto;
Group G: Lyon, Zenit Saint Petersburg.
The comment section exploded.
-【What's the situation! Why are there so many giants in the second place in the group this year! Oscar Night?】
-【Arsenal, Juventus, and Wolfsburg are the three old six! (Lao Liu, sly/scheming) Did they deliberately lose in the last round! What's going on with Atletico Madrid again?】
-【Arsenal is stable this year. According to the Champions League 1/8 draw rules, they won't meet Barca and Bayern! As long as there are no injuries! There is no pressure to enter the top four!】
-【Any random combination could be the Champions League final...】
-【Why do I feel that Bayer Leverkusen is in danger? Let's wait for the draw ceremony!】
......
Bayer Leverkusen first-team dormitory.
Li Kang was doing geometry problems.
The system prompt sounded quietly.
[Ding! "Champions League Round of 16" team achievement unlocked!]
[Rewards are being distributed...]
[Congratulations on obtaining: Intermediate Attribute Point *1!]
[Intermediate Attribute Point: Can be used for a single attribute value in the 80-90 range!]
Li Kang was stunned.
There are rewards even if you don't participate in the last round of the game?
It turns out it's a team achievement!
This reward is a timely help!
His attribute panel has been stuck for a long time, and no matter how crazy he trains, the increase is only a decimal point!
After hesitating for a moment.
He added the intermediate attribute point to Physical Contact.
[Physical Contact: 89.2435→90.2435!]
There doesn't seem to be any change in the body.
Snap!
A crisp sound!
The pencil in his hand broke...
