"With one less person fighting, they still defended Stamford Bridge."
"Paris Saint-Germain does not need to be discouraged. Let's start again next year. They have a group of talented young stars."
"Chelsea's 19-year-old Ballon d'Or contributed one pass and one shot in this game and won the Man of the Match award again."
"Congratulations to Chelsea for advancing to the quarterfinals of the Champions League."
...
Stamford Bridge, singing loud and clear.
Most of the players were so tired that they lay down on the turf.
High-intensity running back and forth, changing positions...exhausting physical energy.
However, there are some clubs in the history of football that are so powerful that they are abnormal. For example, Bayern in the 2013/14 season, after playing away games in the Champions League knockout rounds, directly put on sportswear and continued training on other people's green fields.
Kanter bent over and took a breath, looking at Li Kang with a puzzled expression.
Didn't Li take a walk tonight?
The running distance is about the same as mine, but why are you not out of breath?
The little black guy from Iron Gate shook his head, without thinking too much, and turned to care for his national team teammates.
Buffon patted Mbappe on the shoulder and consoled him: "You were even more of a threat in Monaco last season. I suggest Paris sign more serious midfielders, such as Pjanic."
"Perform well in the World Cup, maybe the club will listen to you!"
Mbappe looked calm,
Verratti is ready to catch up with the Italian goalkeeper Big Brother...a serious midfielder?
He couldn't help but glance at Rabiot, Padres and others, plus himself... they were all a group of non-mainstream midfielders.
the other side.
Neymar wanted to clear up the misunderstanding with Cavani, but the latter turned and walked towards the tunnel.
The Uruguayan striker finally managed to get rid of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, thinking that he could become the boss of the locker room. As a result, the club signed a new king in the summer window.
...
After Li Kang took turns shaking hands with the referee team, he thanked the home fans together with his teammates.
In the final moment of ten against eleven, he and Kante covered the situation through crazy running, which was enough to fill the hole, but it didn't feel tiring because Paris' positional attack method was too simple.
Blue flag fluttering in the wind.
Chelsea fans could not conceal their joy and responded to the players with the most enthusiastic applause and shouts.
...
Post-match press conference.
Tuchel answered questions from the media.
"No one can blame David Luiz, there is a lot of uncertainty in football."
"Lee's performance in key battles was as consistent as ever. He was born to make big scenes."
"We don't care who our opponents are in the Champions League quarter-finals."
"No matter who you draw, it's the same."
The confidence in his tone immediately aroused applause from the audience.
After a while.
Emery sat haggardly in the interview booth, his tone depressed.
"If that penalty kick had been scored, the outcome of the game might have been different."
"We probably lost to this year's Champions League winner..."
These remarks immediately triggered a rebuttal from the French media.
Xia Chuang invested 400 million, but ended up in the top 16 of the Champions League?
Jokes such as "taking turns taking penalty kicks" and "creating more penalty kicks" have once again become ammunition to bombard the Paris coach.
In contrast, the Premier League media is relatively sober:
If celebrities and experts from all walks of life come out and say "silly things", it is often intentional.
Acting as a clown, I take the opportunity to deliberately cause widespread discussion and promote the solution of the problem.
...
Cobham training base.
In the conference room.
The coaching staff is watching live broadcasts of other games.
Tuchel's tone was solemn: "This Bayern team is much scarier than the past two seasons..."
Dino asked in confusion: "Boss, didn't you say that it's the same for everyone you draw?"
"..."
...
The cold wind is blowing.
Fallen leaves are flying.
A commercial vehicle drives on the streets of Fulham.
The assistant held the mobile phone and yelled:
"3:0!!!"
"Liverpool equalizes on aggregate!"
"This is Anfield!"
"The King of Reversals!"
"Barcelona can't beat Stamford Bridge, nor can they beat Anfield!"
"Liverpool is left behind and overthrows Barcelona!"
The uncle driver couldn’t help but chime in with the words “Never walk alone.”
Li Kang was also staring at the tablet.
In the Anfield stadium on the screen, the sea of red conveys the determination to reverse.
23 minutes later.
The commercial vehicle stopped at the gate of the yard.
The assistant got out of the car door and exclaimed:
"4:0!!!"
"The Miracle of Anfield!"
"Barcelona, which had been leading for a week, was reversed by Liverpool with four goals!"
"Massacre, tragedy, suppression..."
...
Li Kang closed his tablet, probably expecting that the comment section of Cross's column would be filled with apologies.
The system prompt sounded quietly.
[Ding, mission accomplished: Blue Bridge Defense Battle!]
[Mission receipt: Thrilling! Stamford Bridge, which was fought by ten people, almost fell! 】
[Task reward: Champions League Legend·Platinum Treasure Chest.]
The prize pool is very shallow.
There are only a few midfielders to name.
【Cross's "right body" module.】
[Modric’s “post-back” module.]
[Casemiro's "sideways" module.]
【...】
[The treasure chest is opening... Congratulations on getting Pjanic's "Inversion" module. 】
Pjanic finally realized his talent this season and performed explosively. All his shortcomings disappeared and he was half a step closer to the master level.
Several wonderful escape sequences emerged in Li Kang's mind.
Pull your foot back to push the ball to change direction!
A stunt to escape from the body upside down.
...
Two days later.
The knockout rounds of the Champions League round of 16 are all over.
The list of top eight is released: Chelsea, Liverpool, Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Juventus, Atletico Madrid, Manchester City.
at the same time.
One piece of news has become a hot search topic.
"A god-level kill at Stamford Bridge! Mr. Golden Ball passes and shoots!"
"Miracle at Anfield, Liverpool reversed Barcelona 4-3 on aggregate!"
"At Devil's home court, the Hornets once again tied with Arsenal and advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League by virtue of their away goal advantage."
"Bayern's bloodbath at Old Trafford."
"The Unstoppable Galactic Battleship."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "The Steel Defense Line of the Bianconeri."
"All members are back, the complete line-up of the bedsheet army is shocking Europe!"
"The European War Continues to Decline in the Blue Moon."
The number of comments, likes and retweets has skyrocketed.
-[Barcelona fans fainted in the toilet crying, leading by three goals but still being reversed.]
-[What's going on? They couldn't score a single goal, Barcelona played against Liverpool, and were beaten 4-0 by the opponent?]
-【Even if I score a goal, I feel better.】
-【Football is a team sport.】
-【The years are quiet, Arsenal is back to the good old days of Jukuro.】
-[It’s okay, the eliminated players, prepare well for the 2018 World Cup.]
-[As long as Li Mingdeng doesn’t meet Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Juventus, Atletico Madrid, or the Champions League quarterfinals, it will still be easy.]
...
Starting from the quarter-finals, the teams will not be graded, and there will no longer be any avoidance principles in the draw.
Teams in the same region and league will no longer be avoided.
Teams in the same classification and group will no longer be avoided.
To put it simply, Real Madrid may draw Atletico Madrid, Bayern may draw Dortmund, and Chelsea may draw Liverpool.
All disrupt the draw.
Li Kang, Tuchel, Dino and others arrived at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland without stopping.
The scenery along the Leman River remains the same.
The "punctuality obsession" of the small country of Switzerland affects every guest attending the conference.
"Li, we finally met again at the lottery ceremony."
Pjanic slapped the seat next to him excitedly.
Li Kang smiled.
When he first participated in the Champions League draw, the first friend he met here was Pjanic.
"Have you seen me play this season?"
Pjanic moved his buttocks, his tone was anxious, and his eyes were full of expectation.
Li Kang nodded seriously. The Bianconeri's midfielder has reached his peak this season.
"I heard Cesc Fabregas is leaving Chelsea next season?"
"..."
"What do you think about me?"
Another car dream?
Pjanic clearly said in an interview that his childhood dream team was Real Madrid.
Ronaldo's face was grim and he coughed twice deliberately.
"The ceremony has begun..."
...
The large LED screen on the main stage plays the highlights of the Champions League round of 16.
Li Kang's ultimate close-to-the-ground slash.
Messi's ultimate strike to the ground.
Li Kang continuously excelled.
Saul made consecutive passes.
Li Kang's ultimate arc.
Pjanic's ultimate arc.
Origi volleyed in front of the penalty area.
The breathtaking scenes made the atmosphere of the venue more and more exciting.
wrong.
Why are everyone copying Li, or being copied by Li?
...
Pjanic did not stop and continued to carefully analyze his own characteristics with Li Kang and look forward to a better blueprint.
He doesn't want to leave Juventus.
However, in the Bianconeri's tactical system, in order to fit the characteristics of the future striker, there seems to be a better solution for the midfield combination.
This guy seemed to have a premonition that he would be "accounted for".
The treatment provided by Barcelona is not high, otherwise the Camp Nou would have arrived in 2008.
Real Madrid has no place.
Chelsea may still have a hole left by Cesc Fabregas.
After much thought, the midfield partner that suits me best is Li!
Only by joining the Blues next season can he reach the peak of his career.
...
Coach's representative seat.
Zidane glances at Li Kang from time to time.
Guardiola is writing and drawing.
Tuchel struggled to remain inscrutable.
Coach Heynckes, close your eyes and relax.
Simone held his chin, worried.
Allegri was not very interested. He also wanted to talk to the Barcelona coach about "accounting". Accounting for transactions between players is not limited to high-level negotiations. The coaches of both sides know their respective players better and strive to be able to
Achieve a "win-win" situation.
It's a pity that Barcelona was eliminated.
...
The ceremony went on in an orderly manner.
The host and UEFA officials said a lot of scene talk, which made people sleepy.
About half an hour passed.
The guest of the draw - Shevchenko appeared and announced that the draw ceremony had officially begun.
Everyone couldn't help but become nervous.
Snapped!
The nuclear warhead did not linger for too long and broke off two small balls in succession.
"The first match result is out."
“Liverpool vs. Dortmund!”
The camera immediately went to Klopp.
The Liverpool coach smiled and shook his head. He also left a glorious chapter in Dortmund.
...
"The results of the second match are out."
“Real Madrid vs. Manchester City!”
Suddenly.
There was a wave of applause.
Zidane and Guardiola raised their hands almost at the same time... and touched their bald heads.
Expression synchronization.
...
Studio.
Barrage flying.
-【What do you think of this scene?】
-[Of course I am optimistic about Real Madrid, but Manchester City is very strong in the league.]
-[Blue Moon is still in the process of rebuilding and cannot hold the Galacticos for the time being. Give Guardiola more time.]
-[It’s hard to say, in terms of on-the-spot command ability, if Guardiola doesn’t get things right, he will be far behind Zidane.]
-[Zidane: Does the coach need to direct on the spot? 】
-[There have been rumors for more than half a year that Ronaldo is leaving Real Madrid. I hope he will have a happy ending at the Bernabeu.]
-[I want to watch Chelsea VS Real Madrid...]
...
Shevchenko wanted to continue breaking the ball.
Marchetti stopped temporarily.
suspense.
To stay in suspense.
The UEFA representative spoke a lot again.
Tuchel was getting impatient.
Allegri took a deep breath and his expression turned into the word "囧".
Heynckes yawned.
Simeone swept away the gloom and looked expectant.
...
Players' bench.
Griezmann looked at Pjanic and Li Kang during the exchange with disdain.
He hasn't fought against Li Kang in these years.
The most regrettable thing is that in the 2016 European Cup, both himself and Varane were unable to play due to injuries.
snort.
If Li met me...
Next, my thoughts were interrupted.
"The third draw result is out."
“Atlético Madrid vs Chelsea!”
Tuchel was slightly surprised.
Simone smiled reluctantly and clapped his hands.
Griezmann's expression was stiff.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Kang immediately reviewed Atletico Madrid's game video heat map from a God's perspective.
...
Studio.
- [The two teams are going to peel off each other's skin. Forget about the league and domestic cup competitions, it will definitely cause serious injuries. 】
-【Run to death.】
-【Strangle, strangle, and then strangle.】
-[Space driving, targeting blind areas of vision.]
-[Conclusion: There were too few goals and the scene was boring.]
-[Not necessarily, if both sides go crazy, it will be a goal battle!]
...
The remote Madrid training base.
In front of the TV, when Cork and Saul saw the result, they couldn't help but burst into cheers.
"I want to take Li for a nice walk around the neighborhood,"
"Let him see our new stadium."
"You can't hurt Li."
"Yeah, try not to hurt Li..."
Atletico Madrid veterans have a dark look on their faces...
There is no need to remind you that if Li Kang is injured and misses the opportunity to participate in the 2018 World Cup... the offender will have to bear the anger of fans around the world.
Actually.
Atletico Madrid in this historical period is really not dirty in the European competition. In the past few years, the number of fouls in the Champions League has been very few. They have still reached the finals twice and have experienced a lot of games, unless they encounter Barcelona or Real Madrid.
Who is the dirtiest team in La Liga? It is undoubtedly the Espanyol club in Catalonia.
Saul emphasized again: "We must defeat Li with dignity!"
Burgos, the teaching assistant who loves Eastern culture, smiled and said: "You two guys, have you ever heard of the story of Ming Chengzu and Jianwen Emperor?"
....
UEFA headquarters.
The final draw result speaks for itself.
But Shevchenko still has to figure out the order of home and away games.
"The result of the fourth match is out."
"Bayern Munich vs. Juventus."
The exciting Champions League theme song played.
The LED screen on the main stage lists the results of the Champions League quarter-finals for the 2017/18 season.
The spotlight flashes crazily.
The camera recorded close-ups of the expressions of every head coach and star player.
