Chapter 1 The Opening

The kickoff.

Leverkusen's small fullback had just received the ball when he was pressed by the opponent's forward.

The lateral passing route was also blocked.

He wanted to turn and pass the ball back to the goalkeeper.

In a daze, he saw a black-haired figure coming to support him.

Although many German players also have black hair.

But Li Kang's figure was too easy to recognize.

He took the opportunity to turn sideways and pushed the ball over.

"I'm not just blowing smoke! Li's timing and positioning for support are excellent!"

"It's just that the fullback's pass... under the interference of the opponent, the power is a bit off!"

The ball speed was not fast.

The line of trajectory had a large deviation.

Kurt immediately rushed over!

He didn't believe that the Dragon Descendant kid could be faster than him.

With the level of competition in the youth team, he could steal the ball every time in the frontcourt.

...

Li Kang was indeed not as fast as Kurt.

But he seemed to have predicted this situation in advance, taking two steps calmly, blocking the opponent's position, and stopping the ball first.

Kurt decisively stretched out his left foot.

That perfectly shaped calf moved extremely fast.

Li Kang gently flicked the ball with his right foot.

The moment it landed.

A simple turn of the body.

His whole body leaned against the opponent's back!

Kurt instantly lost his center of gravity, staggered, and fell on the grass!

This kid's physique... why does he have such great strength?

He didn't even have the chance to adjust his stride and lower his center of gravity?

The boos from the Säbener Straße stadium subsided slightly.

Bayern fans also found this scene a bit unbelievable.

How could their own genius, Kurt, be brought down so easily?

"Awesome!"

"Li's confrontation is also so clever! Bayern's number 10's left foot hadn't even landed yet, and he was knocked down by his body!"

On the sidelines.

Coach Topp's expression relaxed.

He rushed from the coach's bench to the sideline in a puff of smoke and began to direct the other players' runs!

On the other side.

Augenthaler stroked his stubble: "The Dragon Descendant kid is very smart, he didn't show off his ball control in front of Kurt, but chose to use his body... seemingly not strong, but his ability to withstand confrontation is not bad."

The assistant coach nodded: "Kurt underestimated him!"

...

On the field.

Kurt looked at Leverkusen's number 10 getting further and further away from him.

A subtle change occurred in his emotions.

He was actually humiliated by a Dragon Descendant?

In an instant.

Li Kang dribbled the ball past the center circle.

Facing the pressing Bayern defensive midfielder, he found an angle and sent a diagonal through ball.

"Here it comes again! Brothers!"

"Li Kang's god-level through ball! It's coming soon!"

"Damn! Havertz was directly squeezed out of bounds by the opponent's black and strong center-back? That's outrageous!"

Too bad.

The 16-year-old Havertz had perfect timing.

But his speed and physique were not as good as Bayern youth team's center-back.

The ball eventually slid out of bounds.

Havertz could only raise his hand to Li Kang to signal his apology.

....

The game continued.

The Bayern youth team began to organize their attack again.

The scene quickly returned to the beginning.

Siege.

Under Kurt's orchestration.

Their midfielders and forwards, including the two full-backs, pressed forward in a big way.

Relying on running, they frantically rotated positions in the attacking area.

The route of the soccer ball's advance was like shaping an ever-changing mathematical graphic.

Making it difficult for the Leverkusen youngsters to distinguish the specific positions of the opposing players.

Fortunately, Coach Topp did not assign man-to-man marking tactics before the game.

"Brothers, it seems a bit dangerous, Bayern is not Mönchengladbach after all..."

"Looking at this scene, they are going to score any minute now!"

As the team gained an advantage on the field.

The Bayern fans' shouts resounded once again over the Säbener Straße stadium.

Coach Topp anxiously scratched his chin with one hand.

With the other hand, he kept directing the players' positioning.

But no matter how he directed, he couldn't change the current situation of Leverkusen's defense being frantically ravaged.

...

Li Kang kept running back and forth on the field.

Even though he relied on God's perspective, he could always provide timely assistance and cover.

But he couldn't grasp the opponent's formation structure for the time being.

Guardiola came to Bayern and instilled positional play into the entire Bayern club's youth training system.

This improved tactic, derived from Cruyff's football philosophy.

Vaguely touched the ceiling of football competition.

Even the island nation team (Japan) is frantically imitating it.

The only disadvantage: the overall rhythm and timeline requirements for the players on the field are extremely high!

Timeline?

Li Kang realized while running that the shadowed area of his brain was constantly expanding.

All the dynamic information in God's perspective suddenly stopped.

All the noise in his ears instantly dissipated.

Immediately afterward.

The picture went into a frantic rewind!

In countless fragments, he captured the timeline differences in the opponent's attack.

Positional play was a near-perfect tactic in 2015.

But the youth team players executing this tactic were not perfect.

Kurt clearly had timeline differences with all his teammates!

The river of time began to flow again.

Li Kang made a turn.

Rushing to the right side of the penalty area.

Coincidentally.

The ball just happened to leave Kurt's left foot and rolled towards the Bayern full-back who was coming in from the right!

Bang!

In everyone's eyes.

The black-haired teenager intercepted this perfect passing line.

He turned sideways and took off with the ball.

Sounding the horn of Leverkusen's counterattack!

In the Säbener Straße stadium, the Bayern fans' cheers came to an abrupt halt!

"Awesome! How did he do it!"

"It's not just a steal!"

"After Li intercepted the ball, there were no opposing players within five meters in front of him!"

"He broke Bayern youth team's attack so easily?"

...

Kurt looked dazed!

Augenthaler's eyes widened!

Coach Topp was the first to react, frantically beckoning the Leverkusen youngsters to rush forward!

The frizzy-haired old man let out a hysterical roar:

"Run! Run!"

"Expand the width of the counterattack! Don't huddle together! Fan out! Fan out!"

....

One of the essences of positional play tactics is a high defensive line.

But it was obvious that the Bayern youth team's defensive youngsters didn't have many opportunities to practice in actual combat.

Usually, they were the ones pressing the other side.

Even if the other side had a chance to counterattack, they couldn't outrun or outfight any of them!

But this time, it seemed a little different.

The Dragon Descendant youngster coming towards them had a bit of a scary aura!

...

The ball crossed the center circle!

Havertz ran to the right, taking away Bayern youth team's defensive midfielder!

Leverkusen's small forward, Henrichs, desperately ran to the left, taking away one of the Bayern center-backs!

Could they not be taken away?

No!

Bayern couldn't ignore the Dragon Descendant youngster's through ball!

"Leverkusen! They have something! Using this fan-shaped attack! Making Bayern's defense line caught in a dilemma!"

"Pay attention, the other players who started a little slower also dispersed and turned into multiple back-in attacking points, making Bayern's chasing players hesitate!"

"Beautiful! They created a 1v1 opportunity for Li and the opposing center-back through overall movement!"

"Charging past him means a one-on-one!"
