Barcelona.

Heavy rain.

Indoor training hall.

The LED screen replayed the match between Schalke 04 and Bayer Leverkusen.

Accompanied by the commentator's excited voice.

The staff also applauded.

Assistant coach Unzué blew the whistle for a break.

Suarez approached the big screen and asked suspiciously, "Why are you watching the Bundesliga match again? Hey! This kid's through ball is really good! Lyon! Come and take a look!"

A staff member turned around and said with a smile, "He is the adopted son of Aunt Sofia! He is very promising now and is Bayer Leverkusen's main midfielder!"

Mascherano stepped forward and exclaimed, "He keeps shaking his head to observe the situation on the field, and his running position is too much like Xavi."

Neymar nodded in agreement, "His playing style is indeed a bit similar, but he is still far behind in other aspects. His physical confrontation is very strong!"

Rakitić bent down, carefully watching the big screen, and muttered, "No, look at his left and right foot passing, both are great. He is a balanced player with both feet! This kid has potential! He's playing my old team without any power to fight back!"

"Bayer Leverkusen seems to be our opponent in the Champions League group stage?"

These people were not from La Masia youth training, so naturally they had never seen Aunt Sofia's adopted son.

Iniesta and Busquets looked at each other and couldn't help but smile wryly.

Before the Champions League draw, the two hoped that the mute dragon descendant could return to Barca.

Messi looked at Bayer Leverkusen's number 10 on the screen, lost in thought.

Unzué said, "Okay, this week is the international match day, hurry back to your country."

.....

Spanish Football Association building.

National team coach Del Bosque frowned.

"The 19-man squad for the European Cup has been decided! There are still four places... This is really hard to choose!"

"This is really a happy trouble!"

Assistant coach Mignano took a stack of information and suggested:

"Atletico Madrid's Juanfran and Saul, Real Madrid's Vasquez..."

"And Asensio from the national youth team, his performance is also very good!"

"There is no need to rush the list for the European Cup qualifiers."

"I don't think it is necessary to send a full main lineup to play against the Japanese team... Just transfer a few young men from the national youth team and the national Olympic team, after all, it is an international friendly match."

Del Bosque thought for a moment and said, "Then you can handle it! Pay attention to the impact! Pay attention to friendship!"

After speaking, he left the office.

Mignano was very excited.

He spread the stacks of player information on the table.

Just like playing a card game.

Rubbing his hands together.

According to the formation, he arranged the list, while talking to himself:

"Little Denis? Villarreal's super genius! It must be him!"

"Li Kang? Asian, Bayer Leverkusen's main midfielder! This one is also good!"

"The positions of the two seem to overlap!"

"Forget it, put them on together! Let's see what kind of chemical reaction will occur!"

"Oops! I missed the forwards... Forget it! Spain didn't have a forward in the 2012 European Cup either!"

"This lineup should be able to play back and forth with the Japanese team!"

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

Leverkusen.

Völler looked helplessly at the call-up letter sent by the Spanish Football Association.

"Our Li is only 17 years old this year, and he has been selected for the Spanish national team's roster? And he has to fly all the way back to Asia to play a friendly match? What if he gets injured! Is the declining Matador dynasty still looking for Xavi's successor?"

The little assistant said with a troubled face: "After all, it is an international match day, I suggest the club try to cooperate, and Li Kang himself is not very resistant."

Völler sighed: "Okay."

at the same time.

The Spanish Football Association officially announced the roster for this week's international match day on social media.

Li Kang's name was impressively listed.

Related news spread quickly on the Dragon Country's online platform.

《Bayer Leverkusen's talented Dragon Descendant, Selected for the Spanish National Team Roster!》

《Spain Re-sacrifices the No-Forward Formation! Reproducing the Peak Dynasty of the 2012 European Cup!》

《Who is Xavi's successor? See you on the international match day!》

The number of comments, likes, and reposts soared.

It is now 2015, and the influence of the Spanish national team winning three consecutive major championships has not subsided.

-【Something's wrong, most of Spain's lineup are young players from the national youth team and the national Olympic team. It should just be training. As for Xavi's successor? Little Denis is more like it. Li Kang is tough after all!】

-【Can this lineup beat the little Jap... the Japanese devils who are doing well? They are all European players, it's outrageous if they can win.】

-【The Japanese team is not a full main lineup either, some European players are paired with local young players from the J-League.】

-【Traitor! He doesn't come back to play for the national football team, but runs to the Spanish national team! Shame on his ancestors! Second devil!】

-【Play for the national football team? Brother, don't you know how fast the development and innovation of modern football is? One person can't carry it, even if Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo come together, they can't carry it!】

-【Even with Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets, and Modric, they can't carry it, really.】

-【Why discuss this topic? It affects the mood.】

......

the next day.

The international match week kicked off.

Dragon Country vs. Japan.

The game was very intense.

The four stands were silent.

The Japanese team player wearing the number 18 jersey was frantically breaking through on the left.

"Japanese team youngster Takumi Minamino, performing very well! Former J-League Best Newcomer, main striker for Salzburg Red Bull!"

"Hey, what's going on? This action is obviously a provocation!"

"Isn't the referee giving a card?"

The Dragon Country team's center back cleared the ball out of bounds.

Takumi Minamino looked angry and quickly stepped forward.

He bumped into the opponent heavily with his left shoulder.

Spraying dirty trash talk in his mouth.

The referee didn't show anything.

Dragon Country players rushed forward.

Wataru Endo blocked Takumi Minamino in front of him.

The scene began to get chaotic.

The fans in the four stands were also frantically denouncing the Japanese team players' provocative behavior!

"Let's see how the referee will judge!"

"Hey? Why did our player get a yellow card?"

"This controversy is too obvious!"

Netizens were also angry!

-【If it were the generation of national football players like Li Weifeng, Takumi Minamino would have been strangled!】

-【Wataru Endo would also get a heart-piercing kick!】

-【Damn it! Why is there no blood at all! They make such big moves in the Chinese Super League! Why are they so calm when dealing with the little devils?】

-【This situation doesn't need to be calm at all, it's a friendly match! Just do it!】

-【What can I say? Being weak is the original sin!】

.....

Post-match press conference.

Faced with the media's accusations.

Takumi Minamino smiled disdainfully.

"I don't want to answer any questions."

"The score has explained everything."

"Football relies on strength!"
