Bab 5: Chapter 5: Divine Through Ball! The Master of the Field!
Leverkusen.
In the office of the Director of Sports.
Woller held a report and said unhappily, "Have the staff keep a close eye on Li Kang. The intensity of his training has been too high lately, especially the strength training for his lower body."
The assistant nodded and explained, "Li Kang's various indicators appear normal at the moment, and the fitness trainer has adjusted his training plan."
Regarding the training intensity of youth players, medical experts from the top five leagues had been arguing for decades. The prevailing view in this parallel universe was that high-intensity anaerobic exercise would not have any adverse effects on the development of young players.
To the extent that a small number of "black market" youth academies would periodically inject testosterone into their young players to increase their market value.
But experts in the Bundesliga youth academies believed that if the strength training of youth players' lower body was too intense, it would to some extent affect the secretion of growth hormones and the speed of bone closure.
Woller moved the ashtray on the table and said, "I need a mainstream aesthetic, tall, sunny, and handsome dragon descendant, not muscle-bound boys who are growing sideways. And remind Topp to minimize the risk of Li Kang getting injured during the weekend's youth team match."
The assistant said, "Understood."
Mainstream aesthetics?
Is this the direction of player development?
A few days later.
Matchday for the German West Youth League.
7:00 PM.
Taitren Stadium.
Hundreds of fans gathered.
Some people became addicted to watching the game.
The German Bundesliga season was still more than a month away.
The youth league also featured exciting matches.
The key tickets were still free, and with a bottle of beer, it was the most affordable form of entertainment.
Of course.
On one side of the simple stands, there were quite a few female fans.
The Dragon Nation.
In a sports platform's live broadcast room.
Many happy bean fans gathered.
"Brothers, let's rush the German youth league early in the morning! After in-depth research, I really like the Monchengladbach youth team in this game! Hey, why is the picture lagging again? Just wait, the signal source isn't very good, everyone check out the starting lineup first."
The official lineup was revealed.
The live chat began to explode.
"Do we need to research Monchengladbach's youth team? They are super strong! Who can beat them apart from Schalke 04 youth team?"
"Must watch. They score an average of 5 goals per game! I've bet all my happy beans on Monchengladbach!"
"Isn't this the same Lee Kang from the European Youth Championship, the 'good brother' from the Spanish U19?"
"Same name! How did he end up in Leverkusen if he was in the Demacia youth academy?"
"What is Demacia?"
The players from both teams walked onto the field under the leadership of the referee team.
The black-haired youth in the lineup was particularly eye-catching.
The home team's fans, under Leverkusen's recent "promotion," were also full of expectations for the young dragon descendant.
The sparse applause gradually started.
In the Dragon Nation's live broadcast room, the small streamer and the happy bean players were dumbfounded.
The long-range through ball from the European Youth Championship left a deep impression.
"Hey! It's him for sure! But everyone stay calm, Monchengladbach's youth team is very strong! This one's in the bag!"
A moment later.
The referee blew the whistle.
The game officially began.
Leverkusen had the kickoff.
Coach Topp made a gesture.
The players knew what to do.
Havertz kicked off from the center circle and passed it back to Li Kang.
The central and forward players on both sides immediately began to move and overlap.
All the information on the field was instantly outlined in Li Kang's mind as a "model."
A god's perspective!
Monchengladbach's forward quickly closed down.
Li Kang's rhythm seemed a bit slow when the opponent closed in, but with a push of his instep, he sent the ball to the side.
The overlapping Leverkusen full-back comfortably received the ball.
Then, he slanted a pass to Havertz.
At the same time.
Li Kang ran to a very reasonable position.
Allowing Havertz to find the safest passing route at a glance.
The football rolled back to Li Kang's feet.
Next.
Leverkusen seemed to be labeled with the La Masia mark.
With a very smooth penetration, they quickly advanced into Monchengladbach's half.
Li Kang's ball control was average, but his positioning and passing were better than all the players on the field.
Monchengladbach's young players couldn't disturb him with their pressing.
He was like the midfield commander of Leverkusen.
Leading his teammates to press against the opponent's formation.
The fans in the stands were baffled.
In the Dragon Nation's live broadcast room, the small streamer and the happy bean players were anxious.
"What's going on? How is Leverkusen's youth team playing like Barcelona?"
"Monchengladbach, stop him! Press up! If they keep playing like this, they won't even touch the ball!"
On the sideline.
Monchengladbach's youth team coach, Joplin, looked relaxed.
He patted the assistant who was anxiously watching and said, "The dragon descendant's ball control is actually quite poor; most of the time, he prefers to use changes in his own rhythm to get rid of opponents."
"The players in Leverkusen's youth team don't have La Masia's passing technique."
"Let our boys adapt. As long as we strengthen the thickness of the midfield, there won't be any problems in this game."
The assistant coach of Monchengladbach suddenly realized.
He hurriedly shouted to the players on the field and encouraged them.
In the distance.
Coach Topp smiled, seemingly waiting for something.
The assistant asked in confusion, "Coach, why are we playing like this when you were so against Li Kang's original style?"
Topp raised his finger and said, "Look, they fell for it!"
Monchengladbach's youth team formation changed.
Two full-backs advanced to the middle and participated in the press.
Li Kang received a pass from his teammate.
In his god's perspective, he had already seen the most suitable passing route.
He struck the football with the inside of his foot.
The action was graceful.
That through ball, sharp as a blade, pierced Monchengladbach's right defense!
Havertz suddenly sprinted.
His timing for the run was perfect.
He easily received the ball on the right side of the penalty area.
A powerful shot!
The football went straight to the far corner!
When the net was lifted.
The entire stadium erupted into cheers!
1:0!
In the Dragon Nation's live broadcast room.
The small streamer angrily smashed his headphones on the ground!
"Match-fixing!"
"Monchengladbach bunch of useless! They can't defend!"
[The speed, timing, and penetration of Li Kang's through ball are even more incredible than when he was in the European Youth Championship! The viewing experience is so strong!]
[His ability to read the game is amazing! He immediately found the gap in the opponent's defense. The youth team's defenders couldn't react in time to cover. Unless it's the defense line of the Bundesliga.]
[Don't panic, what are you panicking for? The game has just begun. Leverkusen's playing style is useless. Monchengladbach will come back in minutes!]
