Chapter 298 Christmas (there is an emotional scene, please be careful)
The cold wind is fierce.
Snowflakes are falling.
A commercial vehicle drives along a winding mountain road.
White snow covers the grass, canyons, and lakes, like a wedding dress covering Bei Lai Yin.
The little assistant looked out the window and couldn't help but sigh: "It's colder in the mountains. Winter starts very early this year. In previous years, it wouldn't snow heavily until January or February."
Li Kang nodded.
He held the tablet and watched the Chelsea match video.
"Li, do you still need to watch the Chelsea game? It's either one to zero or two to zero."
Since Conte led Italy to lose to Spain in the European Cup, he seemed to be possessed by a demon. After being eliminated, he also led the Italian old boys to practice hard for a week, euphemistically speaking, it was for the future of Italian football.
After joining Chelsea, he seemed to have found a new experimental field.
In the early days of coaching, I still played in a wide-open and wide-open style.
A series of 4-2, 5-3, 3-2...
After half a season of running-in, Chelsea seemed to have returned to the invincible season, with an impenetrable steel defense... which made the offensive players of other Premier League clubs feel desperate.
Why no matter which coach is replaced...the blue beast at Stamford Bridge always puts all his skill points on defense?
"Lee, why don't you watch the video of Manchester City? Although they were beaten 4-0 by Everton, it was because Guardiola was experimenting..."
"Arsenal's New Year's opponent is them!"
Li Kang shook his head.
It’s not that I don’t see it, it’s that I don’t understand it.
After half a season of running-in, Guardiola still has not fixed a tactical framework for Manchester City.
Back then, Van Gaal was able to arrange 18 different central defender combinations at Manchester United.
Now Guardiola's lineup at Manchester City is even better.
The process of rebuilding Blue Moon is difficult.
Many Manchester City veterans, knowing that they will be purged next season, still show good combat effectiveness at the Intihad Stadium, such as Yaya Toure.
In fact, Li Kang downloaded dozens of gigabytes of Leverkusen videos.
But now I am riding in Leverkusen's car. The driver's uncle's family has been die-hard pharmaceutical manufacturers for three generations...
If the assistant interrupts and says the wrong thing.
The two of them might be abandoned among the mountains and glaciers to experience the majesty of the snowy scenery of Bei Lai Yin.
...
The commercial vehicle slowly drove into the fairy tale-like town of Veltins.
Ms. Sandra, who had been waiting for a long time, trotted forward.
"Lee, did you watch the Bundesliga awards ceremony last night? Did you notice the beers raised by Mr. Beckenbauer and Mr. Voller?"
"That's Veltins' beer."
"It's cold outside, come inside quickly."
The main purpose of this meeting is not to discuss cooperation matters.
It's not even a commercial.
The agency team originally believed that Li did not need to endorse FMCG products, but data shows that fans prefer him to endorse products that they can afford.
Veltins Beer, which has dominated the entire Germany with Bayer Leverkusen winning the championship in the past year, is undoubtedly the most suitable partner.
The key opponent also inexplicably increased its offer after the Champions League draw ceremony.
...
There was no pleasantries for too long.
Ms. Sandra took her assistant to taste the new beer.
Li Kang followed the staff to the old place.
Colored marble columns.
Under the gray sculpture, scattered pieces of melted ice formed water columns.
Gold and bronze cast iron railings.
Gorgeous plaster floral decoration.
Snapped.
A crumpled newspaper flew lightly into his hand.
Li Kang unfolded it and took a look.
The front page headline of the newspaper was a photo of himself and Eisley by the lake.
The wheelchair rolls slowly on the bluestone tiles.
With the sound of bullets being loaded...
"I'm scaring you."
Claudia smiled, a blush appearing on her pale cheeks.
Li Kang was relieved.
He walked forward slowly and held the handle of the wheelchair with both hands.
"You don't like girls like Jordan Carver?"
Jordan Carver?
Li Kang was his first advertising partner at Veltins.
Female model, boxer.
She has a great figure and is open to all rivers.
"Your aesthetics are a bit childish. All the girls you have dated are..."
Li Kang smiled and shook his head.
coincide.
Childish? It’s just that we happened to meet the same type, let alone have any relationship.
"Go that way."
Claudia raised her hand to point in a direction.
The wheelchair rolls slowly on the bluestone tiles.
The setting sun suddenly pierced the thick clouds and shone warmly on the two of them.
The ancient town of Veltins becomes more and more intoxicating at dusk.
"It doesn't matter."
"I know you only like..."
A harsh friction sound interrupted the girl's words.
The wheelchair is broken again...
...
Compared to the first physical contact.
The two of them were not nervous this time... because the cold and wet ground was a bit slippery.
"Am I heavier than last year?"
"You lied to me again."
"Then have you ever carried others on your back?"
Li Kang nodded.
He passed many people, such as his teammates after scoring: Havertz, Brandt, Morata, Welbeck, Insko...
Suddenly something hard hit my back.
He could only shake his head.
"Men don't count."
...
Two and a half hours later.
Li Kang is alive and well. Not only is he recharged, Claudia also asked him to bring many gifts back to Leverkusen. Of course, the gifts did not include Feltins' beer.
He thinks she is very nice, but he cannot play with girls often.
Didn't win the Champions League title.
The World Cup championship is further away.
The road ahead is still very difficult, so you need to be self-disciplined.
...
On the training ground.
Li Kang changed into his training clothes, picked up a shovel, cleared a clearing, and started training.
He can no longer improve his attributes through training.
But as long as you relax for a few days, the properties of the system panel will decrease by 0.000001.
You still need to train to stay in competitive shape.
Leverkusen's advantage over Christmas is reflected in the fact that hotels in Cologne and Dusseldorf do not have such professional training grounds.
After a while.
Hot white mist came out all over his body.
There were violent explosions.
The security uncles kept applauding on the sidelines and gave thumbs up. They couldn't help but miss Li's time in Leverkusen. At that time, as long as they were promoted to the Champions League, Voller would also give bonuses to their support staff...
In comparison, Balotelli who set off fireworks and burned down the security booth was really annoying.
...
There is no Santa Claus.
Li Kang, his assistant, Dino and the members of the Grandpa Group gathered in the cafeteria.
The firewood in the fireplace crackled.
From time to time, the sound of fireworks and firecrackers could be heard outside the window.
The mulled wine made everyone's faces turn red.
"Time flies so fast."
"Li will be 19 years old soon. When I saw him in Dusseldorf, he was not as tall as he is now. It seems like everything happened yesterday."
"I prepared a poem that must be read on Christmas Eve!"
"Wilde, shut up first."
"Skip this step first and open the gift quickly."
"Gift? I miss last year's gift even more, the envelope full of banknotes..."
"Teacher Belenta, what gift is this? The winter vacation homework assigned to Li?"
After having dinner.
Li Kang and others rang the bells around the club to drive away the legendary monsters in Bei Lai Yin.
Immediately afterwards.
Then we took the club’s commercial vehicle and headed to the Christmas market in Leverkusen.
Warm moments are always short.
In two days, Li Kang will have to return to North London to prepare for the Blue Moon.
