Chapter 186 Henry's Proficiency

The next day.

Colney Training Centre.

Arsenal was preparing for a scrimmage.

Li Kang stepped onto the green field.

The red and white number 14 jersey materialized in the mist.

King of Gunners!

Henry's phantom could be triggered at will?

But why had most of the values in the attribute panel decreased?

Was the King of Gunners module so controlling? Legendary phantoms of this level almost never caused a decrease in stats.

[You don't love Arsenal deeply enough.]

Beep!

Bould blew the whistle.

The scrimmage began.

The ball was quickly passed on the grass, soon reaching Li Kang's feet.

Xhaka quickly moved to intercept.

"Don't hold the ball, Li!"

"Dribbling like that slows down the tempo too much!"

The coaching staff shouted from the sidelines. They were all straightforward men, not holding back because the two-hundred-million-dollar man made a mistake.

Ramsey also quickly came to assist in the defense.

With a thud.

The ball was lost.

Gradually, everyone noticed that Li Kang's condition today was a bit off: his ability to handle the ball in tight spaces was much weaker than usual!

His rhythm in organizing the attack was also as sluggish as it was in the early 21st century.

"Li's in bad shape today. Why is he relying so much on the inside of his foot? Many of his movements are too redundant."

"It's just a scrimmage. It's normal."

Li Kang could only force Henry's phantom to disappear.

His condition returned to normal.

He reorganized Team A's attack into Team B's danger zone.

The moment he stepped into the left side of the penalty area, Henry's phantom reappeared, and all his attributes plummeted again! Including his shooting stats!

Even with Piero's area bonus, the attributes could still decrease?

Thud!

Čech easily caught the ball.

Li Kang finally understood why half of Henry's goals in the Premier League were scored outside the penalty area. It was because his shooting methods inside the box were too simple for goalkeepers of this era, not even as good as the incomplete version of Raúl's "One Shot Kill" module.

The game resumed.

Two minutes later.

Li Kang got a one-on-one opportunity.

His speed attribute increased, but not as much as the Bale, Torres, or Robben modules.

His rhythm when touching the ball while sprinting was also not as good as the Kaká module.

His shooting attributes plummeted.

Thud!

The ball flew out of the baseline.

"Li's one-on-one is at the same level as Morata!"

"Meaningless adjustment of his center of gravity!"

Ten minutes later.

Li Kang received a pass from Welbeck at the right corner of the penalty area, and Koscielny quickly intercepted.

Henry's phantom appeared.

His shooting stats skyrocketed!

He had finally found the peak area of the "King of Gunners" module!

Thud!

The ball was cleared out of bounds by Koscielny.

The Frenchman was the defender with the highest successful tackle rate in the Premier League this season. He pulled Li Kang up and scratched his head with a smile, "Your intention to accelerate and get rid of me from the left side was too obvious."

Čech also raised his hand and said, "Your shooting tendency is also obvious. You're definitely going to aim for the far corner!"

Maguire also said softly, "Li, we need you during defensive transitions. You can't play like this!"

Li Kang thought for a while and silently removed the "King of Gunners" module.

This kind of overbearing and controlling module, even if it could be triggered at will, was not suitable for him in the midfield position.

On the sidelines.

The newly appointed sporting director, Robert, silently recorded everything with a pen and paper.

He looked at his watch.

He closed the folder, said goodbye to the coaching staff, and left.

As a qualified sporting director, he needed to understand the competitive state of the first-team members in real-time.

He didn't trust the Arsenal coaching staff's reports, only what he saw with his own eyes.

"Li's contract with Arsenal still has three years left..."

"There are countless examples of talented stars falling."

Robert muttered to himself, reminiscing about his series of classic transfer operations at Barcelona.

"Well, I left a valuable transfer plan for the Camp Nou: four hundred million in new signings with high value and high returns!"

"I must help the Gunners start a prosperous dynasty when I come to Arsenal!"

The surging passion in his heart seemed to evaporate the dewdrop on the tip of his nose at this moment.

The Arsenal sporting director's figure silently disappeared into the fog.

On the training ground.

Li Kang returned to his normal state, allowing his teammates to find their familiar rhythm again.

In the end.

He led Team A to a 4-2 victory over Team B.

Bould quickly handed him a dry towel and water, "Li, you were playing too awkwardly at the beginning! Like Henry at Juventus back then. We even stopped the boss from bringing him to Highbury."

"This is no longer a question of freedom!"

Everyone laughed.

Henry, who always complained about Arsenal on TV shows, was too annoying.

Li Kang wiped his sweat.

Suddenly, he noticed a percentage mark floating behind the Henry module.

[Henry "King of Gunners" Module (Proficiency: 10%, Daily Training Limit Reached)]

Reaching 100% meant he would be a complete King of Gunners?

Considering the date of the Champions League final, there was definitely enough time. After all, the progress was increasing too quickly!

The real King of Gunners would be extremely excited when facing the stars of the Bernabéu.

However, perhaps only that far corner shot from the left side of the penalty area could truly threaten the Galácticos.

In the afternoon.

Li Kang and his little assistant flew back to North Rhine.

This time, the Veltins summer beer commercial didn't have to be filmed in a small beer town in the mountains, but was temporarily moved to Gelsenkirchen.

He and the bearded director's crew already had a very tacit understanding.

There was no female partner.

The content of the advertisement was very simple, so simple that it was just holding up beer.

The filming was quickly completed.

The bearded director took out a few jerseys and two soccer balls again, and happily left after getting them signed.

Li Kang saw Claudia, who didn't have a cold this time and looked very healthy.

He gave the girl the FA Cup silver medal and the crafts he brought back from Gijón as gifts.

The two of them didn't communicate much online either, occasionally sending each other emojis.

Claudia was in a good mood. She asked about the history of the FA Cup and the history of Gijón, while answering herself.

Li Kang listened carefully, and the shadows in his brain frantically spread and contracted violently.

Without delaying for too long.

At sunset, after recharging, he and his little assistant left Gelsenkirchen.

The two did not immediately return to North London but went to Leverkusen. He heard that Völler was sick.

Madrid, Valdebebas training base.

The Real Madrid players finished their training.

Fitness freak Pintus rolled up the whistle's rope and stuffed it into his sportswear pocket. In a sense, he was an important contributor to Real Madrid's championship, equivalent to a buff that increased the team's overall fitness.

Cristiano Ronaldo didn't rest and continued to train. No matter who the opponent was, he would give his best.

Modrić and Kroos chatted as they walked towards the tactics room.

Bale ran towards the parking lot. He still had to go play golf.

Isco took his phone from the locker room and sent a message to Li Kang.

Zidane looked at the medical reports of the entire Real Madrid team and nodded with satisfaction.

"The Champions League final is getting closer and closer."

"Li..."

I'll start writing the final tomorrow.
