Pond Convenience Store.

Ten Hach sipped his coconut pomelo sago. He didn't like the taste of coconut, but Ashley Young said that the name sounded like "sounds good luck" and that it would bring good luck!

Ten Hach said casually, "Lu, well... you know, I initially came here to learn tactics."

"I never expected that I would be assigned such an important role as the team's starting defensive midfielder."

"Our schedule is so packed, and my knees and back are hurting. I don't even know how much it will cost to get physical therapy."

Lu Kai smiled slightly.

They really are here to ask for money.

Lu Kai nodded: "That's why I've always told you to play less of those fancy games, they're too hard on your knees. And you really need to be moderate. You and Daniel are both rich kids, but how old is he, and how old are you?"

"The same master—no, the same young model—he can handle it, but you can?"

Ten Hag coughed repeatedly: "Well... let's not talk about that. My main concern is that I probably won't be able to keep playing like this for the second half of the season, unless something can motivate me, like..."

Lu Kai laughed: "For example, competition!"

"Don't worry, I plan to make Yaya Touré your substitute after he returns. But if you want to play fewer games, I can make him a starter directly, and he should be able to adapt."

"Don't worry, your playing time will definitely be greatly reduced in the second half of the season, so I guarantee you won't get tired."

Ten Hach got anxious: "No, it's not about competition, I'm talking about salary."

Lu Kai waved his hand: "Salary? Salary is not negotiable. I absolutely will not let you spend another penny!"

Li Weifeng was stunned: "Huh? Pay money?"

Lu Kai nodded: "Teng Hah must have spent at least £200,000 to play for our team!"

Li Weifeng trembled: "Then, then... how about I give some too? Could you arrange some matches for me? But they're too expensive, I probably can't afford it..."

Lu Kai: "Don't worry, that's a special case for him. You don't have to pay, so you should go."

Li Weifeng finally breathed a sigh of relief; he had almost thought he had joined the Dartford national team.

Ten Hag became a little anxious: "No, Lu, you misunderstood. I just felt that the team should give me something too. The team is doing so well now, I should at least have some credit for it."

Lu Kai narrowed his eyes and laughed, "So that's what you mean? Teng Hai, I'm not trying to be mean, but do you really think our team is that short of players? Oh, so we have to send a veteran like you over thirty to play?"

Ten Hach: Isn't that so?
"You're old enough to participate in Sisters Who Make Waves, why would I bother with you?"

"It's all because you're obsessed with learning top-level tactics!"

"You need to understand that in any field, a purely academic approach is unacceptable! You need practical experience, you need to understand the situation on the ground, otherwise, a spinning top costs 95 million euros, a bag of screws costs 90,000 US dollars... what kind of coaching is that!"

"And what could be better to understand a situation than to go to the battlefield yourself?"

"You haven't seen any of the good intentions Alfred and I have put in!"

"Fine, if this is all the comprehension you have, then I think your master-disciple relationship with Alfred ends here."

"How about this, I'll contact a Dutch Eredivisie team and send you back, so we can part ways amicably."

"I'll also tell Alfred. He was talking to me last night, saying it's time to teach you some things about on-the-spot command, like how to quickly find weaknesses in the opponent's formation..."

Pfft!
Teng Hahe almost fell to his knees. He lightly slapped himself across the face: "Lu, I was blinded by greed and didn't appreciate your kindness. Please forgive me, and please, please don't tell Master!"

Lu Kai shook his head: "No, no, no, Dartford is absolutely not a team that would wrong its players. Although our club is poor, although we have a huge debt crisis, although we are very short of money, we will absolutely maintain the purity of football! We..."

Ten Hag: "I'll give money! Oh no, I'll donate! I'll donate another £200,000 to the team to do my part in improving the club's financial situation!"

Lu Kai: "Well... what are your requirements regarding appearances..."

Ten Hag: "I start every game without complaint."

Lu Kai: "No, Toure needs to be gradually put into the starting lineup."

Ten Hag: "I've been a substitute in every game, and I have no complaints!"

Watching Tenhagh leave satisfied, Li Weifeng's national team genes still stirred. He scratched his big head and said, "Um, Captain Lu, how about I pay some money? Otherwise, I won't feel at ease."

This guy is still trying too hard to adapt to local customs.

Lu Kai laughed and said, "It's really nothing. Don't follow Teng Hai's example; he's in a special situation."

Li Weifeng: Oh, so he was there specifically?

Lu Kai: "He is extremely rich."

Toilets at the training ground.

Ten Hah knocked on the doors of several private rooms in succession.

Ashley Young, Amorin, Vardy, and others filed out.

Ashley Young could tell something was wrong just by looking at Ten Hah's expression: "Didn't you get your wages?"

Ten Hagh almost burst into tears: "My salary? I've lost another two hundred thousand pounds! That was my Christmas bonus from Dad!"

"Brother Yang, now it's really your turn to step in."

"Otherwise, no one's salary will increase!"

Ten Hah still needs to learn the art of slaying dragons, so he can only be controlled by Lu Kai.

But Ashley Young's legs have healed, so he has no weaknesses.

Ten Hagh may have called Ashley Young "Brother," but he actually wanted Ashley Young to assassinate Lu Kai.

Young people are easy to fool.

Ashley Young put his hands in his pockets and walked out of the restroom, saying regretfully, "Since you're not going to raise my salary, then I won't either."

Ten Hach was stunned.

what's going on?
Previously, she was indignant, saying that she was captivated by Lillian's black stockings, the person in charge of signing contracts, and had accidentally signed a contract of servitude, and wanted to rebel.

Why are you suddenly not resisting anymore?

So I'm the only one going to rebel?
Ten Hagh looked at Amorim.

Amorin followed Ashley Young away, saying, "If Young won't raise the price, then I won't either."

Vardy trailed behind, saying, "If everyone else isn't raising prices, I certainly can't. Anyone who asks for prices to rise is an idiot!"

Ten Hach: ? ? ?

A new league has emerged where only Ten Hag is injured.

In fact, although Dartford's base salary is low, when combined with various bonuses, it is actually among the top in League Two.

These bonuses seem very promising right now, so the players have no objections.

Unless the team's performance is very bad, then everyone will be dissatisfied in various ways.

When one prospers, all prosper; when we are in the midst of glory, how could there be any internal crisis within the team?
The following day, Dartford made another deal, bringing in a player, and subsequently stated that their winter transfer window reinforcements were essentially complete.

This deal was met with widespread ridicule.

Sky Sports: "Jeffers Luis, the sixth-tier Thames United striker, has a clear vision in front of Dartford, but the player may not be up to the task."

BBC: "Datford's winter transfer dealings are laughable! 'Genius' Toure returns, but his true ability remains to be seen! The signing of compatriot Li Weifeng seems more like nepotism. Scavenging in amateur leagues, thinking they're playing in the seventh tier?"

The Times: "Morgan is too expensive, and Lu Kai is unforgiving. Garbage is palatable, but Louis is absolutely poisonous!"

What does "free franchise" mean?
He was released by the team!

A player who would have been released by a sixth-tier team was surprisingly signed by Dartford, a third-tier club.

Dartford is desperately short of players and desperately poor.

In fact, Lu Kai brought in Luis because he is a super versatile player who can play almost every position on the field except goalkeeper.

This player was born in 1979, is 188 cm tall, and has a very good physical appearance.

His professional career lasted a total of 28 years, which is quite long.

However, they mostly play in lower-level leagues.

He made a total of 51 transfers throughout his career, making him the number one transfer maniac in football, a wandering footballer, the strongest ex-sponsor, a jersey collector, and the king of connections with lower-level teams.

He and Uruguay's Abreu are known as the two great transfer legends in football.

Abreu's 26-year professional career spanned three continents, thirteen leagues, and thirty-two clubs.

The two were equally brilliant.

But Louis is bright!

Louis has publicly revealed the secret to his long career: the 3D principle and the three no's.

The 3D principle, daily cold water baths, a strict vegetarian window, and weekly changes in training programs.

The three no's principle: do not participate in factional struggles, do not publicly question tactics and command, and do not refuse any position.

During his interview, Lu Kai asked him a question: "If the team needs you to play in a position you are not good at, what would you do?"

"Not just one position, but many positions, any position."

Young Luiz certainly wanted to play striker, but he would tell any lie in order to get into a top club like Dartford.

Don't laugh, my Green Gun and Green Thorn are definitely a powerhouse for these amateur players now!
Louis hypnotized himself and bravely said, "Some become legends, some become options. And I can easily become Green Gun's plan B!"

Lu Kai was very satisfied: "Welcome to Dartford!"

Thus, Dartford's first team now has more than 25 players, which is quite a large number.

Toure can play in all central positions, including center-back.

Of course, Lu Kai wouldn't waste such a talent by letting Toure play center-back.

A poorly made melon: ? ? ?
Li Weifeng is capable of playing as a center-back and right-back.

Louis is capable of playing any position, or at least has the potential to do so.

Therefore, although Dartford didn't bring in many players, they had plenty of positions, which is equivalent to bringing in six or seven players who specialize in different positions.

The difference between a small team and a big team is that, apart from the core player, anyone can play any other position in a small team.

Large teams strive to be the best in every position, and funds are allocated specifically for that purpose.

"Okay, next one."

Lu Kai had Ashley Young take Louis to the training field so he could train with the others. Then the final round of interviews for the day began.

This time, it's not about bringing in players, but about interviewing the female lead for "My Love Diary in Asen Green".

Eva Green has already left for the filming location and will not be able to participate in filming for the foreseeable future.

Moreover, considering the film's potential success, she will likely participate in more and more commercial activities in the future.

So she can come back for a cameo role in the future, but the female lead must be replaced.

This is also why many sitcoms, after becoming wildly popular, find it difficult to make sequels.

Some of the main creators rose to fame too quickly, had too many projects, and found it too difficult to schedule their time.

"Hello, my name is Keira Knightley. This is my front view, this is my side view, this is my back view..."

Lu Kai looked at Kayla, who was introducing herself, and was quite surprised: "Kayla, what brings you to an interview?"

Keira has family connections and resources to get directly into the film industry; she doesn't need to use "Love Diary" as a stepping stone at all.

She starred in "I Love Beckham" last year.

Kayla laughed and said, "Because I really like... Dartford."

Lu Kai pointed to Kayla's scarf and said, "This scarf of yours is a special edition issued by West Ham United in 1999. Only season ticket holders could purchase it."

Kayla reluctantly admitted, "Well, my family are West Ham fans, and I used to be too, until I filmed 'I Love Beckham'."

Another interviewer, Jiang Mengyun, asked with some confusion, "So you're a Beckham fan? Then you should go to Manchester United, right?"

Kayla said: "A player named Lukeham suddenly appeared in London during that time. At first, I was dismissive and thought that he might just be riding on Beckham's popularity, like in our movie."

"The difference is that we can actually afford Beckham, while that team called Dartford can't."

"But after watching Dartford's game, I realized that I seem to like Lukeham more than Beckham!"

Jiang Mengyun's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Was it really that direct?
Lu Kai: "Ahem, well, you can go back and wait for further notice. Next..."

Kayla was nonchalant: "Okay, but can I take a picture with you? I'm worried I won't have another chance."

Lu Kai nodded.

Jiang Mengyun then took a photo of the two of them together.

Kayla left satisfied.

As soon as she opened the door, a tall, beautiful woman, about 1.8 meters tall, stood outside.

He was clearly her biggest competitor in this casting call.

“Hello, I am Ivanka Window…” Ivanka began to compete for the leading role.

Compared to Kayla, her acting experience is almost zero; she only worked as a model a few times with her family's financial support.

However, when Jiang Mengyun asked her about her advantages, she frankly stated that she was not just playing around and that she genuinely longed for a real relationship in Dartford.

But acting can never be as real as reality!

To this end, she has applied for exchange programs with Wharton School and Imperial College London and will soon be studying in London.

This will come at a huge cost.

Because this goes against the educational path her father planned for her, she will encounter some unnecessary difficulties when she wants to return to the family business in the future.

After Ivanka left, Jiang Mengyun looked worried: "Ivanka's arrival was really unfortunate. If we had chosen her, we might have been able to expand our market in the United States and gradually increase our influence."

"But Kayla is too competitive..."

Lu Kai shook his head and said, "No, she came at just the right time!"

Jiang Mengyun:? ? ?

……

On January 3, Dartford defeated Hartlepool 3-2 away from home.

Yaya Touré came on as a substitute in this match and scored a long-range shot, quickly integrating into the team.

Dartford have climbed back to second place in the league.

However, the biggest news after the match was not the English League Two, but Dartford's official announcement of the new female lead in "My Love Diary in Arsenal Green"!

Sky Sports: "Beckham gets cheated on! My new girlfriend is Keira Knightley!"

The Times: "A woman's revenge! Eva Green steals Keira Knightley's Pirates of the Caribbean, and the English rose comes to Dartford to poach her!"

BBC: "American socialite Ivanka Trump announces her entry into the entertainment and soccer industries! Her close friends, including Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian, offer their congratulations, but their tone is sarcastic!"

The Wall Street Journal: "Donald Trump is furious! Ivanka's unauthorized school transfer makes him feel betrayed by his daughter! He says he won't use his influence to promote 'My Love Diary in Arsenal' unless Dartford invites him to make a cameo appearance!"

Dongqiudi: "Catching up with the Premier League and the US! Lu Kai is surrounded by women on both sides, officially announcing the new dual female leads in the documentary!"

Football News: "The English Rose vs. the American Socialite, which one would you choose?"

In a short time, the documentary's fans quickly split into three factions.

One faction supports Lu Kai and Kayla, and their CP name is "KK" or "Green Rose".

KK means Kai Kai, and both of their names contain this character.

Green Rose, Green Road. British fans are becoming increasingly familiar with the puns in Lu Kai's surname, not only in Chinese but also in Sichuan dialect.

Just like many fans like to know the background of a star's name, such as Ronaldinho meaning "Little Ronaldo", Kaka's name means poop in Italian, and how Ronaldo came to be in Cristiano Ronaldo's name, etc.

The other faction supports Lu Kai and Ivanka, and their couple name is "I-Lu Shunfeng" (meaning "I-Lu's smooth sailing").
The last pairing is named "Yi Lu Kai Xuan"!
Xuan means both official announcement and "I like you".

Clearly, they support the three of them living together peacefully!

On January 7, the first leg of the EFL Cup semi-final kicked off at Dartford's home ground.

Before the competition, besides the attention garnered by "Yi Lu Kai Xuan", a reporter also asked Lu Kai a question: "Lu, why did you design your tifo this way today?"

Today, a giant tifo erected at the massive construction site in Dartford features a documentary-style photo of Kayla, Ivanka, and Lu Kai on one half.

Half of him is Morgan.

Morgan's jersey features Dartford colors on the left and Liverpool colors on the right.

Lu Kai: "This tifo means that no matter which team Morgan plays for, he will always be a Dartford legend!"

The reporter nodded: "Did you also express in your tifo that Dartford wanted to build a friendly partnership with Liverpool?"

Lu Kai shook his head: "Today is the day Morgan undergoes his second surgery. Our second purpose is to tell the players that Liverpool owes us, and this game is the time to pay back!"

"Their actions toward Morgan during this period are an insult to Morgan."

“We are all Morgan’s family and friends. Players who have come from Dartford should not be humiliated like this!”

The reporter was quite embarrassed.

This banner also heightened the tension of the match.

The move to sell Morgan was indeed very awkward. Liverpool manager Houllier had nothing to say: "I am only responsible for the team's games, and I am not very clear about transfer matters."

Team leader Gerrard countered Lu Kai's statement: "Nobody wants Morgan to get injured. As a key asset to the team, his injury would also harm the team, wouldn't it?"

"I don't know why Lu Kai is pinning this crime on us."

"He wanted to boost his players' morale, but did he have to go to such lengths?"

Alfred, ever the shrewd one, saw through it but said nothing.

Motivating your own players is only the first step.

Scare your players, make them think about whether they might become the next Morgan, that's the second layer.

Gaining a good reputation for the team and oneself is the third level, which helps with future player recruitment.

Creating commercial buzz to further increase broadcasting fees is the fourth level.

Therefore, establishing a deep connection between the two teams and creating the "Red-Green Derby" to brand it is the fifth level.

Before the match, Lu Kai received a recent reward:

[A Thunderclap Erupts on the Spot - Gold 2]

[Fried Dumplings - Silver: Your dribbling ability has been improved. You can now complete two consecutive touches, but the chance of failure has increased significantly. Step frequency adjustment +2]

[Compound Spin Free Kick - Gold: Your free kick ability has been greatly improved. Your free kicks can produce more curve and angle.]

【Shot Pre-swing: 66+1】

Dribbling: 78+2

[Cadence adjustment: 73+2]

【Set-pieces: 78+2】

【Fried meatballs】are actually a double-touch ball, but you can combo them.

It is difficult to use this technique continuously because the second touch of the ball will bounce the ball away.

The ball speed will increase.

Therefore, if you use combos, your movements will be forced to become faster and faster.

The faster you go, the more difficult it becomes.

"Hello everyone, this is Zhuang Radio. Welcome to the first leg of the EFL Cup semi-final. I'm Huang." Huang Jianxiang said enthusiastically, "Today's match is being called the Morgan Derby by Dartford fans!"

"The two sides had some disagreements because of player Morgan."

"Overall, Dartford, Morgan's family, is very unhappy with his serious injury and medical malpractice at Liverpool."

"According to sources, Morgan's surgery will be performed after this game."

"Morgan should be watching the game from his hospital room right now."

Dartford adopted a very low-key 5-3-2 formation today, with both wing-backs dropping directly into the back line:
Ashley Young, Beckford

Lu Kai, Patton, Ten Hag
Shore, Alf, Williams, Duff, Williams
Casper

-

Liverpool are missing Owen and Hyypia due to injury.

Previously, it was mostly forwards who got injured, but recently even key defenders have started to get injured:
Husky, Mailer

Smick, Gerrard, Murphy, Diouf
Risser, Dior, Henkes, Carragher
Dudek

-

In the first half, Liverpool's players spent most of the time chanting the "Green Gun Big Three" from Dartford.

This is a mockery of Gerrard and Carragher.

In their last encounter, Carragher's own goal and Gerrard's assist to Lu Kai earned them the nickname "traitor" from Liverpool fans.

However, Dartford endured Liverpool's onslaught.

Throughout the first half, Liverpool unleashed a staggering 17 shots, while Dartford managed only one.

The contrast is striking.

But Dartford's defense did not collapse.

The training of the "bus tactic" was effective.

Dartford's ability to use the toilet has improved significantly. However, they have paid a price for this.

Ten Hag and Williams received yellow cards.

In the second half, Liverpool made tactical adjustments.

The whole team pushed even further forward.

They had certain expectations for this match.

Not only must we win, but we should win big.

Because they are currently fiercely competing with teams like Chelsea and Blackburn for fourth place in the Premier League, which is a Champions League spot for next season.

Of course, Dartford themselves also face a tough schedule.

Regardless of the outcome today, this defensive, huddled style of play will likely be repeated in the next round.

Many smaller teams are unwilling to give up or unable to make accurate decisions, which drags down the entire team and leads to a collapse at the end of the season.

In the 49th minute, Gerrard received a pass back from Heskey, dribbled past Duff, and unleashed a long-range shot.

Kasper caught the football.

So far, Kasper is the best player on the field.

He has made several incredible saves.

Many people say that Kasper was born to play against Liverpool because of his father's experience playing in the Manchester derby.

In the 53rd minute, Liverpool took a corner kick.

Gerrard scored with a header.

However, the whistle blew early, and Liverpool had fouled first, so the goal was disallowed.

As the ball flew out, Carragher knocked Kasper backward, a clear collision with the goalkeeper.

In the 56th minute, Dartford launched a relatively slow counter-attack because Liverpool's defense was well-prepared.

Lu Kai passed the ball to Xiao Li, who was making a run down the left flank, and then made a run forward himself.

Beckford retreated.

Ashley Young made a run into the penalty area to draw attention and create scoring opportunities.

Shore passed the ball across to Beckford.

Beckford knocked before hitting the wall.

Lu Kai passed the ball back across the penalty area.

The continuous passing tore apart Liverpool's defense.

Beckford, unmarked at the edge of the box, unleashed a powerful shot.

As it turned out, Dudek didn't catch a cold in the first half and miraculously saved the ball.

"Both goalkeepers are in such good form, it looks like this match will be a low-scoring affair." Zhan Jun was also broadcasting the game illegally. "Friends who bet on the over, don't be discouraged, add another bet on the under now, it's a sure thing!"

"A 0-0 score is also possible, so remember to add your own hand."

In the 61st minute, Ten Hag intercepted Liverpool's ball in the backfield, but failed to pass it on in time and was immediately surrounded and attacked.

Fortunately, Lu Kai was there to help.

After receiving the ball from Ten Hag, Lu Kai dribbled past Gerrard with a cross-court "frisbee" move.

Smick followed.

Lu Kai slipped and fell while trying to step on the ball!
However, he reacted quickly and tucked the ball under his calf.

Smick reached out to grab it, kicking Lu Kai in the shin.

The referee immediately blew his whistle, and Liverpool were found guilty of a foul while trying to steal the ball.

Smic was somewhat dissatisfied, believing that Lu Kai deliberately pressed down on the ball after losing control of it.

Lu Kai retorted: "How did I lose control of the ball? Haven't I ever seen someone control the ball with their calves? I didn't use my abdomen to press the ball down."

Smick had nothing to say, and could only retort: ​​"Oh right, right, what's so special about controlling the ball with your calves? You even managed to slip and dribble past someone!"

Barton, who had rushed over to help, immediately pointed at Smick and said, "Say that again!"

The atmosphere between the two teams was tense.

The referee quickly warned both sides.

Ashley Young then came to Lu Kai's side and said, "Lu, although I'm not as good at making these fried dough balls as Ribery, I'm still among the top three in the team!"

"If you have any questions, you can ask me. Don't try to blast it yourself, you might get hurt."

Lu Kai nodded: "You need to be careful when you charge ahead. Don't charge headlong, or I'm afraid you'll break your leg."

Ashley Young was immediately brought to his knees.

During their conversation, Yaya Touré replaced Ten Hag.

Toure is stronger physically, has better ball control, and is also more offensively capable.

This is Dartford's pre-match call to action.

In the 64th minute, Yaya Touré used his body to push past Murphy and made a steal in the backfield.

Gerrard and others immediately rushed towards Lu Kai and Shaw, heavily guarding Dartford's left flank.

As a result, Toure actually dribbled the ball forward, completed the advance, and easily crossed the halfway line.

Houllier was stunned: "This... he's a 1.91-meter-tall black midfielder, and he's actually making runs? Does he think he's Vieira?"

The teaching assistant quickly covered Hollier's mouth, telling him to watch his words.

There was a reason why Hollier said that.

Liverpool's starting striker today, Salif Diaw, is a "Vieira-esque" player.

A midfielder who is physically strong, athletic, defensively strong, and also has a strong offensive capability.

There will be many players like this in the future, but they are rare now, mainly because the division of labor between offense and defense is very clear now.

Because Liverpool lacked defenders, Houllier wanted to convert Diaw into a center-back, but Diaw was very reluctant.

That's why Hollier harbored such resentment.

There are so many big black guys, but Arsenal only has one Vieira!
Does Toure think he can become a knock-off Vieira after joining Arsenal Green?
boom!
Toure delivered a through ball to Ashley Young in the attacking third.

Dartford increased the pace of their attack.

Ashley Young dribbles past defenders on the edge of the penalty area, creating a one-on-one opportunity.

Unfortunately, Henkez anticipated the move and poked the ball away with his foot.

But Lu Kai, who was following behind, took control of the ball and dribbled towards Dio.

A fried meatball, and he successfully dribbled past the opponent.

Carragher quickly filled in.

Lu Kai used fried dough balls in succession... but his footwork went awry and the ball ended up at Carragher's feet, which was essentially a pass.

"Um...this..."

boom!
Carragher immediately launched a long ball, countering Dartford's counter-attack!
Meller and Williams contested for a header, and the ball rolled toward the Dartford penalty area.

Heskey broke through on goal and delivered a fatal kick!
"GOAL! 1-0! Liverpool take the lead and break the deadlock!"

"After an hour-long siege, they finally achieved their goal!"

"Datford's attack failed, and instead exposed a fatal flaw!"

"Lu Kai is responsible for this play. His 'fritter' turned into a pass; is he repaying Gerrard for that assist back then?"

"If you borrow and repay, it's easy to borrow again."

The camera focused on Lu Kai, who was shaking his head repeatedly.

In the situation just now, he only had a shooting angle after he dribbled past Carragher with a series of fried dough balls.

However, it is too difficult to make fried meatballs continuously.

The main failure rates will accumulate.

On the sidelines, both teams' doctors were preparing.

Because Meller and Williams collided heads during the header contest.

After examination, both players were substituted.

Liverpool substituted Baros for Meller, a player who transferred at the same time as Morgan and had a higher transfer fee, but had not had any playing time before Morgan got injured.

Green Gunners substituted Li Weifeng for Williams, who played as a makeshift right-back.

In the 68th minute, Smick tried to bully the weaker opponent by attacking Li Weifeng's side, but he was entangled by Li Weifeng and had no choice but to pass the ball back to Riise.

Riise makes a long pass to Diouf on the right wing.

But Lu Kai spared no effort and quickly closed in on Diouf, putting immense pressure on the latter.

Diouf miscontrolled the ball, and Lu Kai seized the opportunity to steal it.

boom!
A long pass initiates a counter-attack, finding the left flank.

Ashley Young ran along the wing, caught up with the ball, looked towards the penalty area, and delivered a precise cross.

It looked like Beckford was about to get the perfect opportunity.

Henckels made a spectacular diving save at the near post.

But at the same time, he let out a scream and clutched his buttocks.

This is... a tear in the buttocks!
Mascherano: Don't mention it, thank you!
Liverpool were forced to make a substitution.

Substitute center-back Treola came on.

This makes their defense unstable.

Lu Kai gave Ashley Young a thumbs up from behind, saying, "Young's clever scheme has ruined Heng's anus!"

In the 73rd minute, Duff intercepted Baroš.

Liverpool, leading by one goal, didn't defend and were aiming for a big win.

After Lu Kai dropped back to receive the ball from Duff, he used a Marseille turn to dodge the onrushing Murphy and then made a long pass to Ashley Young.

This trick works.

However, this time Carragher didn't give Ashley Young a chance, overpowering him to head the ball out of bounds.

Dartford throw-in in the attacking third.

Sherry kicks off to Ashley Young, who then passes back to Lu Kai.

Lu Kai passed the ball back to Barton and then made a forward run.

Barton played a through ball over the top, displaying excellent teamwork with Lu Kai.

Facing Gerrard, Lu Kai delivered a stunning crossover dunk as the ball came hurtling down!
The glue-based ball-stopping mechanism was also triggered.

They turned Gerrard into a sitting duck!
But Liverpool fans aren't worried.

"Here we go again! Just how much does Lu Kai like this move?"

"Such a simple move, I don't know what's so special about it."

"He's got something wrong with his head; he can't execute that move continuously, especially while on a run! Even Ronaldinho would be in trouble!"

"He's probably going to concede possession again. Heskey and Baros, get ready for a counter-attack!"

boom!
Facing the onrushing Treola, Lu Kai caught up with the ball and delivered another taco!
Finally, a double!

But the ball became increasingly out of control, penetrating the penalty area and heading straight for the six-yard box.

Lu Kai accelerated towards the football.

Dudek also left the room.

Based on the speed and distance between the two players, it can be deduced that Lu Kai will touch the football 0.25 seconds first.

This means he has absolutely no way to do anything.

If you shoot without stopping the ball, Dudek will block all shooting angles.

If you stop the ball, Dudek will immediately steal it.

There is no...

boom!
Lu Kai, having caught up with the ball, executed a quick flick, first tapping the ball with his right foot to his left, then using his left foot to carry it away.

After dodging Dudek's save, he was knocked to the ground by Dudek.

But the football had already flown out.

Dio rushed toward his own goal, attempting a desperate sliding tackle to clear the ball.

In the end, he just went into the goal along with the football.

“GOAL!!!”

"One to one!"

"Dudek should thank Lu Kai. If that ball hadn't gone in, he would have received at least a yellow card, or even a red card!"

"But a goal can offset all wrongs. As long as it's not a malicious foul and doesn't cause serious injury, there's no need to pursue the matter further after a goal is scored."

"What does it mean to be indomitable? Lu Kai lost the ball because of a fried meatball, and now he's scoring a goal because of the same move!"

"A beautiful triple attack of fried dough balls!"

"Lu Kai should be the first player to complete this technical move in an official match!"

"Could it be that Lu Kai deliberately lost the first two times to feign weakness?"

Huang Jianxiang is very bold.

Han Qiaosheng, who was standing nearby, quickly interrupted, "It's not that bad, it's not that bad."

Mainland supporters, please remain rational.

"Oh! Lu Kai rushed to the sidelines and lifted his jersey! He was wearing a white t-shirt underneath with words on it!" Huang Jianxiang read aloud, "Dedicate the goal to Morgan!"
Wow!
Applause erupted at the riverside stadium.

Fans chanted Morgan's name.

They act like Morgan is one of their players.

Liverpool is in a rather awkward position.

In room 302 of London's First People's Hospital, Morgan's eyes immediately welled up with tears.

If he had known this would happen, he definitely wouldn't have left Dartford in the first place.

In the 76th minute, Liverpool won a corner kick.

Heskey heads the ball towards the goal.

The football was hit downwards with high quality.

However, Kasper received "goalkeeper" training at Dartford, and his use of his feet far surpassed that of ordinary goalkeepers, allowing him to block the ball with his outstretched foot.

Li Weifeng immediately came to the rescue.

Lu Kai then gestured to Alfred.

Dartford made another substitution.

Madera replaced Shory and moved to the right winger position.

Dartford switched to a 4-3-3 formation.

"Oh! Five defenders become four, this... Dartford isn't even satisfied with a draw?"

"Very bold! But I have to say, it's not a wise choice."

Zhan Jun looked slightly embarrassed: "Um... if Dartford plays like this, this game will definitely be a high-scoring affair! Brothers who bet on the low-scoring game before, now bet on the high-scoring game again! Guaranteed to make money!"

"In fact, I predict that Dartford will concede more than one goal!"

In the 79th minute, Madeira came on and immediately showcased his dribbling skills, creating a corner kick that left Riise in a very awkward situation.

After Madeira took the corner kick, Dudek rushed out and punched the ball towards the edge of the penalty area.

The corner kick was of poor quality.

Barton chested the ball down just outside the penalty area, feinted a shot that forced Murphy to jump and block, but actually waited for the ball to land before passing it across to Lu Kai, who had run out of the penalty area to receive it.

But Gerald knew of Lu Kai's threat and relentlessly pursued him.

Lu Kai flicks the ball over the top without stopping it.

After half-turning and blocking Gerrard, he headed the ball past Gerrard.

"This is... a dolphin leaping over a person!"

"Here it comes again! This is a dribbling move created by Lu Kai himself. He showed it off in the match against Tottenham and it made the Japanese's scalps tingle!"

"After that match, the FA discussed whether the move was compliant. Ultimately, the move was ruled valid, but it was listed in the 'strongly discouraged' category."

"Because this action is too sarcastic, users are too easily targeted for malicious retaliation."

"Foul! Gerrard was decisive! He pulled Lu Kai down directly, and Lu Kai almost went into the penalty area."

Dartford's players wanted a penalty, but the referee's decision was clear: a free kick just outside the penalty area.

Meanwhile, Gerrard received a yellow card.

Gerrard didn't argue with the referee, nor did he bicker with Lu Kai because of being outmaneuvered by the dolphin. He immediately directed the formation of the wall: "Here, tall guys, go over here. His free kicks have the best curve here!"

Lu Kai's pupils contracted.

Gerrard, who witnessed his surprised expression, laughed: "I've watched every game you've played since that rainstorm. Nobody knows you better than me!"

Iniesta: ???
"Although there aren't many patterns to your game, and you always inexplicably try new football moves, there's one thing... I've figured out exactly how to execute your free kicks!"

"At this distance, it's impossible to kick a knuckleball or a dipping shot, or even a free kick with a huge curve."

"So... Lukeham, there's no full moon at the Riverside Stadium today!"

boom!
Lu Kai unleashed a powerful kick.

The ball didn't fly over the right side of the wall, where Liverpool's tall players congregate.

Instead, it flew over the left side of the human wall, almost in a C-shape perpendicular to the ground, rather than a C-shape forming an angle of 45 to 60 degrees with the ground.

Gerrard, leaping high in the middle of the human wall, had his pupils wide open.

This is not a crescent moon blade!

This is……

Lu Kai's lips curled up in a smile.

This is a [compound spin free ball]!
Compared to the unsolvable "banana kick" but whose trajectory is easily predicted, the compound spin free kick can produce more arc and angle.

It's not just about hitting the top right side of the goal.

boom!
The football went over the wall and then down into the right side of the goal.

It belongs to the half-height ball category.

This height is where the goalkeeper can most easily make a save.

However... because the ball crossed the wall in a completely different position than Dudek had imagined, he was unable to pinpoint the ball's location immediately and instead spent some time searching for it.

That tiny bit of time made his final save a little slower.

The football grazed Dudek's fingers, just outside the sideline, but still struck the side netting from the inside and went in.

"GOAL! Two to one! Lu Kai scores directly from a free kick!"

"Good job!"

"Lu Kai has also scored twice!"

"Huh? Lu Kai lifted his jersey again. It's the same T-shirt he always wears; he can't very well wear that… Oh! Lu Kai tore off the note. It was sewn on by hand; it's a patch. There's another sentence underneath…"

"Wishing Morgan all the best!"

"Oh! Lu Kai has gifted both goals to Morgan! I believe this is not only his personal wish, but also the expectation of the entire Dartford team!"

"They have to win this game for Morgan!"

"For Morgan, they have to hold on even if Liverpool beat them down in the first half!"

"It's all for the sake of touching the gen!"

On Zhan Jun Channel, writer Zhang Muye, who watches football, was greatly inspired and wrote down the inspiration in his notebook: Touch the captain!

However, considering the sensitivity of these two characters, he had to change the second character to "筋" in order to publish the product.

It turned out that there really were tomb raiders in history, so they simply went along with it.

Tianxia Bachang: Bah!
