Old Man Top gave the first team players a day off.
He himself was not idle, he took Dino to the youth team training ground and observed the training status of the young men.
"Boss, I couldn't sleep last night and reviewed the Borussia match. If we blurred Li's position a little more..."
"Well, Li's position is inherently ambiguous. This is the trend of modern football!"
I have a weak sense of location and will not comment.
Having a strong sense of position is not necessarily a good thing, just like Mata who was trained by Van Gaal.
"Kai seems to have grown taller again, but it's a pity that he is only 16 years old..."
Dino looked at Havertz on the training ground with admiration in his eyes.
If only this kid had been born two years earlier.
Leverkusen can definitely create a top-notch midfield combination that makes the giants fearful.
Now the worry is: what type of midfielder to pair with Li Kang!
Not Calhanoglu!
That guy's rhythm doesn't fit, and he's already flirting with the giants in Serie A. He'll definitely leave during the winter break.
If you want to buy people...the winter break is still far away.
The candidates given in the scouting report are not ideal either.
The old man Top seemed to be searching hard for something, and asked doubtfully: "Where is that boy Henrichs? This guy performed pretty well after switching to full-back."
Dino spread his hands: "On loan to Red Bull Leipzig...Boss, you said that young players whose ratings are too low do not need your approval."
The Leverkusen coach slapped his thigh: "That kid probably won't come back to Leverkusen. It doesn't matter, we still have Kai! Bring him with us in the next round of Bundesliga!"
The coaching staff's idea is simple: release Li Kang!
....
Barcelona.
Li Kang returned to his home near La Masia's youth training camp.
The little assistant did not see the touching plot of the reunion between mother and son.
As soon as I entered the door, I was scolded.
"How did you lose weight? Did Leverkusen restrict your diet?"
Aunt Sofia turned to look at the little assistant and frowned: "You fat little follower, go back and tell your club executives that the recipes are just like ours at La Masia!"
The assistant looked confused: Where did he lose weight? The physical examination report showed that Li Kang was much stronger than two months ago!
He quickly nodded in agreement and put down the gift in his hand.
Just as Li Kang was about to take out a bank card from his schoolbag, Aunt Sophia raised her hand and stuffed it back.
"I have no use for the money. Keep the money you earn and spend it yourself."
"Dress more! I heard that North Rhine is much colder than Barcelona!"
Aunt Sophia didn't dwell on it for too long. She made lunch for the two of them and hurried to the cafeteria to work.
....
After finishing lunch.
The assistant looked around at the simple and tidy house.
I was surprised when I saw the old photos hanging on the wall!
"Aunt Sofia visited so many places when she was young! Oak trees, beech trees, linden trees! The Blue Danube! I know where this is!"
"She can also hunt!"
"No doubt! When she was young, she could beat me easily!"
Li Kang nodded.
This may be the reason why a Castilian woman can not be bullied in Catalonia.
Didn't stay too long.
The two hurried back to the hotel.
The winter break will begin in more than two months, and there will be plenty of time for family reunions.
...........
Li Kang has a lot of friends on his social account, including dozens of teammates and staff from both the club and the national team.
The one who sends messages most often from the national team is Morata.
The club is Havertz.
There are no regular day-to-day conversations.
These two guys are so eager to share that they can send more than a dozen video links every day.
And Worrell...he occasionally shares Chicken Soup for the Soul articles.
As for friends outside of football...
Only Asuka-chan.
The Neon Girl's personality is not as cold as her appearance.
The two sometimes chat for a long time.
Coincidently.
Asuka-chan came to Barcelona today.
I don’t know who spoke first.
Li Kang became the guide of Neon Girl.
.....
Plaza Catalunya.
The sun cannot penetrate the thick clouds.
The cold wind is biting.
Dead leaves are flying.
"Li Sang! Have you been waiting for a long time? Are you cold?"
Asuka-chan combed her bangs with a cold expression.
She doesn't have the formality and redundant etiquette of ordinary Japanese girls.
Li Kang shook his head, his expression calm.
He raised his hand to point in a direction.
The two walked side by side in the autumn of Barcelona.
...
The assistant hiding in the business car had a dark look on his face: "Are you talking about love?"
The uncle driver turned around and said: "Young men and women are like this on their first date. They cannot get into the state immediately because they are nervous. Their subconscious mind will make them..."
"Drive your car well!"
...
Li Kang and Asuka-chan were walking on La Rambla.
The plane trees on both sides were fluttering with yellow fallen leaves.
Various street art.
A wide range of Catalan specialties.
It’s overwhelming.
Asuka-chan gradually became cheerful.
"Li Sang! What is that? Is it edible?"
"Li Sang! You are walking too fast! Is it snowing in Barcelona?"
"Li Sang! This matador rapier...if I buy it, can I take it back to Japan?"
"..."
The vendors on La Rambla are very enthusiastic.
After all, they have seen tourists from all over the world.
Through gestures, tourists can be helped to complete their consumption behavior without any obstacles.
.........
Rambla is like an endless road in a fairy tale.
The cold wind stirred the dead branches.
Scattered sycamore leaves fell on their shoulders.
Asuka-chan was stunned and asked seriously: "Li Sang, do you have a girlfriend?"
She has asked this question several times.
Li Kang thought for a while and shook his head.
The neon girl said nothing more.
.....
Following the business car.
The assistant breathed a sigh of relief and said firmly: "They are just ordinary friends, communicating normally! Our Li is not in love yet! Did you see that? That Asian girl won't let Li pay for things!"
The uncle driver thought for a moment and said: "The sycamore leaves on La Rambla symbolize... I'm sorry. I'll shut up immediately, oh! They took a taxi! Where are they going?"
The little assistant said in a panic: "Follow me quickly!"
It must be somewhere serious.
Asuka-chan and Li Kang are both serious people.
A whole afternoon.
The two just took serious photos at a few famous free attractions in Barcelona.
Time seems to pass quickly.
In a blink of an eye, it was time to say goodbye.
Asuka-chan regained her indifferent expression, turned around and took a taxi to leave.
Li Kang was startled.
The shadows on the brain spread crazily.
His mood stabilized instantly.
A commercial vehicle parked next to me.
The assistant smiled awkwardly and said: "What a coincidence! Li! Let's go back!"
........
The following days.
It's like nothing happened.
It's just that the number of times Asuka-chan sends messages is slightly frequent.
Li Kang also gradually got rid of the habit of going out without his mobile phone.
He always felt that the two shadows on his brain seemed to be covering something.
A painting in my memory becomes increasingly blurry.
