Chapter 1 Stamford Bridge

Chelsea's reserve team defeated Maccabi Tel Aviv 4-0.

Mourinho arrived at the press conference expressionlessly.

The reporters hurriedly threw out several hot topics.

"Barça lost to Leverkusen? I expected it! Enrique is too obsessed with tactical reforms for Barça; they are experiencing growing pains!"

"Li Kang and De Bruyne's similar situations? Who is Li Kang? The little guy with the good free kick at the draw?"

Having said that.

The Chelsea coach unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle.

Assistant coach Stephen lowered his head dejectedly:

Still, "Who is Li Kang?"

You watch Leverkusen's game footage every week, okay!

Unfortunately, serious problems have emerged within Chelsea now.

Mourinho is struggling to protect himself...

.......

Etihad Stadium.

Manchester City narrowly defeated Sevilla 2-1.

At the press conference.

The media reporters scrambled to relay the result of Barça's loss.

Pellegrini smiled and changed the subject: "David Silva is an unconventional genius midfielder with a vaguely defined position. De Bruyne has the potential to become a historical-level midfielder. The two of them have a very subtle chemistry, and they don't compete for the ball, which makes the team's attack more three-dimensional! However... Manchester City's midfield is still missing the last piece of the puzzle, which is also the most important cornerstone."

Everyone was dumbfounded.

What does this sentence mean?

Doesn't Yaya Touré have any pride?

The reporters turned their attention to the Sevilla coach.

"Mr. Emery! Are you confident in completing a three-peat in the Europa League?"

Emery's expression stiffened. He considered himself a very cultivated gentleman and couldn't curse at reporters.

He smoothed back his slicked-back hair and smiled, "We haven't been eliminated yet! This question should be asked later."

........

Madrid.

Modrić returned home early after the game.

As usual, he turned on his computer and searched for the game footage of Barça vs. Leverkusen.

He took out paper and pen.

This was a habit he had cultivated for many years.

His expression gradually changed.

"The entire Leverkusen team is serving him alone! Everyone is helping him create space and time..."

"The era of single-core teams is over, but he..."

A long time later.

The evening breeze gently blew.

The paper covered with tactical drafts fluttered in the wind.

Modrić gently tapped the table, lost in thought.

..........

That night.

Leverkusen did not stay in Barcelona.

The whole team returned to North Rhine overnight.

On the plane.

Son Heung-min and Kramer and Bender were very disappointed.

After winning the game, they had planned a night tour of Barcelona.

They were preparing to experience the cultural atmosphere of the old city.

What La Rambla.

What the old port.

What the El Born district.

What the Barri Gòtic district.

Havertz hugged the collector's edition of *Gwent 3: Wild Hunt*, looking forward to the plane landing quickly. North Rhine has very strict restrictions on the import of games. Fortunately, he bought this new game at the experience store near Anpraat Airport.

Brandt and Li Kang were watching an animated film: *Inside Out*.

Before long, the two of them dozed off.

Old man Topp was drowsy; he felt like he had a cold.

Dino and the coaching staff were reviewing the details of the game.

Leverkusen's Champions League journey is still very long.

.....

The plane broke through the thick clouds.

And slowly landed at the Bayer Airport.

As soon as the Leverkusen players walked out of the arrival gate.

They saw a sea of fans!

A burst of cheers erupted on the scene!

"Krieger!!!"

"Krieger!!!"

"Krieger!!!"

Li Kang's posters and jerseys were held high.

Kießling exclaimed, "Where have we ever had this kind of treatment?"

Leno shouted nervously, "Danger! Get on the bus quickly!"

When the players got on the club bus.

The police line was completely broken.

The bus slowly drove out of the airport.

Dino looked out the window at the surging crowd and breathed a sigh of relief: "Boss... this night is too crazy! Boss? The boss hasn't gotten on the bus yet?"

.............

Back at the first team dormitory.

Li Kang couldn't wait to open the system panel.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the task: Conquer Camp Nou.]

[Personal performance evaluation: SSS+!]

[Task receipt: Okay... you really won!]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Barça Legend · Mysterious Treasure Chest!]

A treasure chest filled with black smoke floated in mid-air.

Li Kang glanced at the prize pool.

[Cruyff "Artist" Module!]

[Maradona "Passerby" Module!]

[Figo "Magic Wing" Module!]

[Rivaldo "Magical Left Foot" Module!]

[Guardiola "Commander" Module!]

[Enrique "Iron Man" Module!]

[Ronaldo "Pendulum" Module!]

[....]

A vast number of characteristic modules.

There were also a number of stars such as Xavi, Iniesta, and Busquets.

But there was no Messi.

Even the "Dreamlike Footwork" that had appeared before was gone.

It should appear in higher-level treasure chest rewards.

[Treasure chest is opening...]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Cruyff "Swan Song of the Sky" Module!]

[Additional attribute enhancement: Your jumping ability has been greatly improved!]

[Additional effect: Your physical flexibility has been greatly improved.]

[Have you heard of the "Flying Dutchman"?]

Never heard of it!

Isn't the Saint of Football a Green Field Artist?

What's with the jumping ability?

The mysterious treasure chest suddenly emitted billowing black smoke.

It poured into Li Kang's body like silk.

An indescribable pain came from the back of his head.

The bones all over his body crackled.

In his memory, a No. 14 figure flying in the air emerged.

An hour later.

He got up from the ground.

His limbs felt an indescribable strangeness.

[Jumping: ???]

Without much rest.

He picked up the football and ran to the training ground downstairs in the dormitory.

The next game is still difficult.

The battle of Camp Nou cost him three modules in order to defend Messi.

Can't relax!

If it weren't for the system, he would still be a ball boy at Camp Nou!
