Manchester United's heir apparent, but can't play football.

The reward in Chapter 61 is... (includes daily transitional scenes)

Accompanied by staff, Li Luo left Westfalen first in a nanny van.

The left ankle tendon injury has healed.

The cartilage injury in the left ankle has healed.

[Inner thigh has recovered]

The teaching assistant said worriedly, "God help me, Li can't end up like Deisler."

In 1997, Germany U17 played against Brazil U17, with Deisler facing Ronaldinho. After the match, many fans couldn't help but remark that these two talented young men would compete with and complement each other in the future.
At the turn of the century, German football was in a slump. Deisler rose to fame at a young age. His comprehensive and superb skills made him a promising talent. The media called him Matthäus' successor, and Beckenbauer called him a ray of light in the darkness of German football.

Unfortunately, long-term injuries caused the German prodigy to suffer from depression.

Ronaldinho, on the other hand, is different.

Depression? Impossible.

The team doctor waved his hand: "Don't curse Li, it's not as serious as you think, and Li has a good attitude!"

Li Luo nodded: "That's right."

The scenery outside the car window slowly passed by.

Dortmund had not yet seen its first snowfall, but the air was already filled with the chill of winter. Raindrops accompanied the wind, blurring the glow of the streetlights and the silhouettes of pedestrians.

A dilapidated building was bathed in warm yellow light, its sharp Gothic lines stretching out in the twilight, like an old man draped in a veil of light, quietly gazing at the vehicles coming and going on the wide road.

Li Luo held a small notebook and silently wrote in her diary.

"Coaches who are keen on high-pressure systems are constantly evolving."

“Our traditional methods of breaking through high positions may not work, and may even lead us into the opponent’s ‘trap’ and make it easier to lose possession of the ball.”

"The pace doesn't have to be fast."

"Slow down the pace appropriately and think quickly by combining the dynamic information you have."

"When a midfielder is surrounded by a high-pressing system, breaking free is not about forcing a breakthrough, but about gaining time and space to handle the ball."

Textbooks are static.

During this historical period, new Bundesliga coaches emerged one after another, and tactical systems flourished.

Li Luo frantically absorbed nutrients from this soil, searching for the "right answer" that suited him.

The next few stages will present extremely severe challenges.

It felt as if a whip dipped in cold water was chasing and lashing him from behind.

I closed the notebook.

[Shock Points Gained: 186557!]

[Should I spend 100,000 Shock Points to redeem a Bundesliga star blind box?]

[Currently redeeming.]

[The Nemesis Blind Box has been triggered!]

[Your dismantling of different forms of "heavy metal rock football," with a goal and an assist, conquered the Westfalenstadion, defeating Borussia Dortmund! You even earned praise from their arch-rivals, Schalke 04.]

[There's a high chance you'll get a Schalke 04 module as a reward in this blind box event!]

Li Luo was stunned.

He recently read about the history of the Bundesliga, and what impressed him most about Schalke 04 was their goalkeeper, Neuer.

Don't guard the gate.

Do not use the goalkeeper module.

Don't waste this chance to draw.

I don't mean to look down on the goalkeeper position, it's just that my own position is midfield, so I'll use modules that fit the role well!
Rumble!
A magnificent card suddenly appeared in front of me!
The card depicts a figure making a save.

"."

Li Luo was completely bewildered.

The girl you like can't stay 19 forever, but the girl I like will stay 19 forever.

[Clearing the way, organizing, dribbling past opponents, flying tackle—the doorman!]

Congratulations on obtaining the Neuer "Gatekeeper" module.

[Additional attribute boost: Passing +3]

【属性修正：防守55→60，抢断55→60，控球61→65】

[Legendary Phantoms cannot be triggered without the Soul Forge module.]

Not triggering the afterimage? That's a good thing, so Li Luo won't be tempted to reach for the ball.

A comprehensive upgrade.

The three shortcomings were directly corrected by the attributes!
Significant improvement in basic skills!

Stamina: 95; Passing: 74.
The realm is consolidated.

The Chinese Super League reached its peak and reached its zenith.

There are faint signs of a breakthrough.

Like a gently shaking egg, gradually becoming covered with cracks.
News reports were released one after another.

News of Li Luo's amazing performance at the Devil's Stadium spread rapidly.

The video highlights amazed fans: the genius midfielder, facing Dortmund's crazy and extreme high pressing, did not panic when he was tackled, but instead made his opponents look miserable.

Dortmund 1-2 Wolfsburg, Li Luo contributes a goal and an assist, shining at Westfalenstadion!

"An incredible 58-meter through ball, with bullet-like penetrating power!"

A powerful, volleyed shot, a powerful, curved attack.

"The Web Weaver - Li Luo: Precise Control of the Scene"

Two extreme tactical approaches: Black Gold vs. Klopp, a peak battle between two great managers, the 90 minutes you don't see.

Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, Juventus, and other top clubs have made offers for Manchester United's heir apparent! A cornerstone of the team, ensuring its continued legacy.

Matthäus: Lee's defensive anticipation is very similar to mine.

The Sun: Li Luo's late-night rendezvous with a Chinese girl in Dortmund.

The number of comments, likes, and shares skyrocketed.
-
If Li Luo transfers, will the transfer fee break the record?
-
[It will definitely break records, and you also have to consider its commercial value.]
-
[The Chinese girl featured in The Sun must not be an actress! I'd feel uncomfortable for Li Luo if actresses were kissing people on TV and in movies every day!]
-
[Strange, why am I feeling excited for Li Luo?]
-
[The Sun has lost all credibility in this regard. My friend is an excellent young man with a clean private life; I doubt he has any female friends in his social circle.]
-
[Li Luo is so cool! Watching him control the game, his passes, his one-touch ball distribution, his positioning, his runs, and that elegant through ball that tears apart the defense—it's a real treat.]
-
[Mr. Black Gold has transformed his midfield style, creating a heroic midfielder with an inherent aura that top clubs all desire.]

I returned to my hotel from the hospital.

Li Luo was perfectly fine, just tired.

Drop drop drop.

The phone rang.

It was a message from Everton striker Romelu Lukaku.

During the last Europa League group stage draw, the two exchanged contact information.

They've never communicated: What information can men send to each other?

[Lukaku: Lee, I've gotten a lot stronger in the last two months. See you at the arena. Don't cry if you lose.]

Has he become much stronger?
A strange feeling of being spurred on and chased surged within Li Luo.

I immediately got out of bed, opened my computer's bookmarks, and started looking at the study materials:
Morata teaches you the simplest way to get rid of trouble step by step.

Manchester.

The coaching staff meeting ended, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

An assistant coach suddenly said, "Boss, I heard that several clubs have backed out after hearing about Li's injury."

Van Gaal didn't even look up: "Hmph, no matter how serious the injury is, the Theatre of Dreams will welcome back its crown prince in due time."

These words deeply moved the staff of Manchester United who had worked there for many years.

Giggs' body trembled instantly.

"If one leg is injured, Li can use the other leg to play football; there are precedents for that."

"."

Cheshire.

Ferguson frowned. The wind outside the window was like a dull knife, slicing through the withered bushes and snatching a few stubborn oak leaves from the branches.

He wrapped his wool shawl tighter around himself, turned back to the fireplace, where the firewood crackled softly, and the flames danced on the brass tongs, casting his shadow on the mottled stone wall.

Jack, dressed in a suit and tie, glanced down at his phone: "Jazz, Lee's injuries are not serious, all indicators are normal."

"Really? That's great news."

Ferguson's expression relaxed: "You should give the club some advice. Wolfsburg's midfielder, Maranda, is strong, emotionally stable, and plays well, especially his positioning and protection of Lee, and his passing ideas are very clear."

"Jazz? That little black guy has a very clear passing strategy? Isn't his only skill at passing the ball to Lee?"

Jack looked puzzled: "We should have made an offer for De Bruyne."

Ferguson shook his head: "De Bruyne will not join Manchester United. He was dropped at Chelsea and doesn't want to work with a coach of that kind of personality again. He has psychological trauma and is afraid of being dropped again."

Jack suddenly realized: "Mourinho and Van Gaal are somewhat similar in terms of personality."

"Yes, many, many years ago, the two of them had a very good relationship at Barcelona. Don't tell anyone about signing Maranda. If other clubs find out, it will hinder us."

"Yes, Sir, don't worry, my mouth is as tight as a welded iron barrel."

The next day.

Li Luo and the club returned to Wolfsburg.

He didn't go anywhere; he went home immediately.

Tom came running over excitedly: "Lee, Maranda will be returning to Manchester United with you next season."

Li Luo smiled.

This is a good thing.

Manchester United are missing a young, physically imposing midfielder.

Moreover, after playing so many games together, Maranda's understanding with him has become better and better.

"Maranda's transfer fee isn't high, so it won't have a significant impact on Manchester United's transfer spending."

“That’s right, Li, you can afford to buy him even if you pay for it yourself.”

Li Luo quickly stuffed a banana into Tom's mouth.

It wouldn't be good if someone heard that.

Given Beckenbauer's earlier statement, "Li Luo is a virgin," if today's conversation were to be circulated, it would be quickly rewritten by the media as "Li Luo's Black Trade."

"We don't need to shoot a commercial today, right?"

"Need not."

"Great."

Li Luo put down his schoolbag, picked up the soccer ball, and ran to the small field in the yard to start practicing.

Wolfsburg has entered a phase of fighting on multiple fronts.

Black Gold and the medical team do not allow players to do high-intensity strength training.

Snapped!
Snapped!
Snapped!
Li Luo felt that with the improvement of his various basic attributes, he had become a little stronger.

Especially the moves in "Morata Teaches You Simple Escape Techniques," where you can control the ball at 65 points with ease.

It seems that Zidane's "skimming" technique and other developmental skills are becoming increasingly integrated with his physical instincts.

Bah!
The sound of the ball being struck startled the last withered leaf that was about to fall from the branch.

2 p.m.

After finishing his extra training and taking a shower, Li Luo sat in the living room, picked up a game controller, and started playing games.

Many single-player games have one drawback.

While playing, the protagonist ends up sleeping with someone else.

It's not a side story yet.

If you're not careful, you'll choose to start a dialogue, and then it will begin. The controller will also vibrate, and at the crucial moment, it will vibrate violently with a "buzzing" sound!

"what happened?"

"That's so exciting?"

"Why does the protagonist always encounter mature characters?"

Li Luo is now facing this situation.

Put down the constantly vibrating handle.

He inexplicably realized that it was extremely difficult for a young athlete with an income, good treatment, and girls throwing themselves at him to maintain a clean private life like Nedved and become a role model for teenagers.

In a sense, extremely strict asceticism is against human nature.

then
Li Luo chose to go back to her bedroom to sleep.

Sleeping is also part of exercise.

The next day.

Wolfsburg base.

Black Gold continued to have the players practice passing and running around Li Luo.

The coaching assistant asked, puzzled, "Boss, aren't we practicing defense anymore?"

"Practice, practice tomorrow, and practice set pieces the day before the match."

On the training ground.

The football was being passed around quickly.

If a kindergarten child were sitting on the sidelines, following the trajectory of the game, they would gradually realize that Li Luo is the core player.

not far away.

Several Volkswagen executives who were passing by watched this scene with satisfaction.

"Our passing and running are even smoother than Bayer Leverkusen's!"

"Because we have Li."

"Black Gold did a great job. This tactic is beneficial for increasing the commercial value of a midfield core. So cool, a true commander."

"I've heard that many wealthy families want to get their hands on black gold?"

"Yes, if Blackgold encounters the right opportunity, the club will not hinder his future."

2 p.m.

Beep! Beep beep~!

The assistant coach blew the whistle to end the training.

Everyone rushed to the locker room.

Li Luo didn't rush to take a shower and decided to stay at the base to continue his extra training.

Practice free kicks.

Whether it's a weak or strong team, this skill is a powerful tool for scoring goals.

Other training can be skipped.

You must practice improving the accuracy of your free kicks.

The phone screen was playing "Çalhanoğlu Teaches You How to Kick a Free Kick".

After carefully examining the phone repeatedly, Li Luo placed it on his feet.

Carrying a basket of soccer balls, I returned to the training field.

Let's start practicing.

Bah!
Bah!
Bah!
In November, the cold Lower Saxony is also home to many resident birds that do not migrate, such as crows, sparrows, and tits, which are active here all year round.

The birds near the Wolfsburg training ground are already used to the sound of the ball being touched and the shouts.

Two sparrows on a withered branch calmly watched the Chinese teenagers training.

far away.

The team doctor asked, puzzled, "Boss, don't many young stars spend time on free kicks?"

Black Gold nodded: "Yes, young talents from football powerhouses and elite clubs rarely have the right to take free kicks, so they don't need to spend time on this aspect in the early stages of their careers."

"The situation is different for some other young geniuses."

Night falls quietly.

Arnold and Maranda walked out of the base's game room, savoring the details of the game, when they suddenly saw Li Luo coming out of the locker room, and were surprised.

"Li, did you just take a shower?"

"Why are you still here?"

"We're going to the Christmas market, do you want to come with us? Let's go, it's nearby!"

Li Luo did not refuse.

How can you spend all your time playing with girls?

She also wanted to play with boys.

So the three of them boarded a small boat outside the base and headed to a nearby Christmas market.

Arnold pulled out a bottle of cider that had been warmed up at the base from his backpack.

"It's okay to be a little undisciplined sometimes."

"cheers!"

"It's so warm."

Holding the warm bottle of wine, the aroma of red apples mingled with cinnamon and cloves, felt especially comforting in the chilly air. The small boat moved slowly forward.

The stars and the moon were reflected in the water.

It is said that this small canal was dug by the Volkswagen Group decades ago to make it easier for its employees to commute to and from get off work.

The three of them put on masks and baseball caps.

In the distance came the sounds of bells and accordion.

gradually.

As dusk settles, the lights between the stalls gradually illuminate the scene, like stars scattered across the ground.

Maranda's racial talents were suddenly awakened, and she couldn't help but hum along to the melody and start dancing.

Wolfsburg's heir apparent, Arnold, began to introduce the local customs and traditions.

It's proper local customs and traditions, not the kind of customs and traditions Bendtner experiences during away games.

Li Luo gradually relaxed.

The last time I felt this peaceful was when I was cycling in the national forest park.

"It's here, it's here!"

The three of them jumped ashore one after another.

Step into the Christmas market.

The wooden stalls were decorated with colorful ropes, mulled wine was simmering on the stove, and children were running around the carousel.

The air was filled with the sweet aroma of roasted chestnuts.

"Let it slide a little, I can be less disciplined today!"

"What is this? Bread made with honey and chili peppers?"

"Haha."

Maranda disappeared and then reappeared.

The Chinese boy and the Wolfsburg prince were almost startled: in the pitch-black night, a black man dressed in a black tracksuit suddenly appeared.
Little Black Egg now had three green and white scarves in his hands: "The girl at that stall said she knitted them herself, let's each take one! It's too cold, this is just a temporary solution!"

“I believe what she said; her craftsmanship is about as rough as my mother’s.”

"Green," she said, adding that her whole family are Wolfsburg fans.

Li Luo smiled as she put on the scarf.

Followed by.

They ate and drank their way through the journey.

During this time, I kept telling myself: self-discipline is a kind of training, and it's okay to be undisciplined one day.

After a long time.

The three boarded the small boat again.

"Li, is something bothering you?"

"No, How about you?"

"My concern is that in a few months you will be leaving Wolfsburg and returning to Manchester United, and then we will have to say goodbye."

Maranda's tone was slightly melancholy.

Li Luo smiled and said, "Maybe you'll join Manchester United too."

"Really? I wouldn't even dare to dream of doing something like that."

Little Black Egg looked surprised.

Arnold's lips twitched involuntarily: "Hey, hey, hey, you two, don't talk about this kind of thing in front of me!"

They didn't pay much attention, because everyone knew that Li Luo was only on loan and would eventually leave.

"Li, if I have the opportunity to join Manchester United, I might be so nervous that I can't speak."

"It's okay. If you don't know what to say, just talk about your childhood dream."

The peaceful days passed quickly.

Four days later.

The Volkswagen Arena welcomed a formidable opponent in the Europa League: Everton, the Premier League's Toffees.

"Zhuangdianertai! Zhuangdianertai! Good evening, viewers!"

"We are now broadcasting live the fourth round of the 2014/15 UEFA Europa League group stage."

"Wolfsburg host Everton."

"In the last encounter between the two teams, Wolfsburg scored a last-minute winner against Everton with a late assist from De Bruyne to Lillard."

What sparks will fly between the two teams tonight?

"Coach Zhang, what do you think?"

"Hehehe, it's hard to say. The climate, temperature, and humidity are different in the two places. The types of grass are also different, and the width of the stadium is also different. Everton is competing on multiple fronts this season, and because of their lack of squad depth, they have dropped to twelfth in the Premier League."

Coach Zhang took a sip of tea.

He also felt quite happy whenever he was commentating on Li Luo's matches.

Pre-match press conference.

Black Gold looked completely confident.

"I'm not just good at defense."

"Yes, that's right. I have a masterful grasp of the quality of transition offense."

"Different opponents require different tactics."

"How could we, playing at home, be completely dominated in our own penalty area?"

clap clap.

There was thunderous applause.

German media reporters sensed a strong aura of a renowned coach in Wolfsburg: it's worth noting that only Van Gaal and Bielsa have previously dared to openly reveal their tactics at pre-match press conferences.

The other side.

Martinez remained calm.

"We have conducted careful research and analysis and have made all the necessary preparations."

"Everton are confident of beating Wolfsburg away from home."

He didn't believe Black Gold's words.

Wolfsburg's manager will definitely park the bus against Everton.

Player tunnel.

Lukaku greeted Li Luo expressionlessly.

"Li, did you see the message I sent you? Why aren't you replying?"

Li Luo smiled.

He usually receives messages from girls, and he's used to not replying.

Sorry I forgot to reply.

“It’s okay, I forgive you. Yesterday my agent suddenly asked me: Do you want to go to Manchester United next season and be your teammate?”

Lukaku looked serious.

The Toffee teammates couldn't help but twitch at the corners of their mouths.

What brain?
Saying this in front of your teammates?
"I said I didn't want to, I wanted to win the championship with Everton."

Everyone laughed.

Li Luo thought for a moment: a Premier League player like Lukaku, with his superb shooting skills, strong physique, agility, and awareness of drifting to the wing, would probably become a transfer target for Manchester United.

The referee team led both teams out of the passage.

The arena erupted in cheers, shimmering with green light.

The mascot, Wolfie, extends his fist to greet the Wolfsburg team.

"Now we will introduce the starting lineups of both sides."

"Wolfsburg's formation is 4-2-3-1!"

Goalkeeper:

"Full-strength lineup! Li Luo will undoubtedly start."

"the other side."

"Everton also fielded a 4-3-2-1 formation!"

Goalkeeper: Howard.

"Defenders: Coleman, Stones, Jagikar, Baines."

"The three defensive midfielders: Barry, Barkley, and McCarthy."

"Central midfielders: Mirallas, Naismith."

Forward: Lukaku.

Studio.
-
There's no pressure in this match, it'll be a breeze. Even if Wolfsburg loses, they'll probably still advance to the knockout stage.
-
[The camera cut to the neutral stands, and who did I see? Kelly, who just joined Arsenal!]
-
Time flies! Last time at Goodison Park, everyone was saying Kelly might not make it to Arsenal.
-
[What's so fast? It's only been two months.]

Beep!
Accompanied by the referee's whistle.

The game officially begins.

Wolfsburg has possession of the ball.

The two teams' formations quickly began to overlap at the center circle line.

The football moved slowly in Wolfsburg's half of the field.

The Chinese prodigy encountered a classic trash-talking moment in the Premier League tonight, facing off against Everton's prodigy, Barkley.

"Li, I'm much fiercer than I was two months ago, so you'd better not try anything funny!"

Li Luo was slightly surprised.

Why does it look so familiar?

Lukaku also said he has become much stronger than he has been two months ago.

The cheers from the stands suddenly rose.

Because Li Luo touched the ball.

Barkley, closely marking Barkley, decisively chose to increase the intensity.

Snapped.

As Li Luo turned, the football gracefully traced a "U" shape on the grass.

"A familiar scene."

"A simple pull-up turn."

"He calmly got rid of Everton's midfielder."

Barkley, frantically trying to regain his balance, looked a little bewildered.

what happened?

How come Li is so much better than he was two months ago?
Last time, he used his spatial awareness and understanding of body positioning to use a misdirected ball control to get past us.

Tonight, he was able to easily get past his marker while in possession of the ball?
What did you eat?

In just two months, Li Luo's ball control ability in midfield has undergone a qualitative change!

Courtside.

Martinez was gesticulating wildly.

He made very detailed preparations for this match.

The tactics were also slightly adjusted.

Having learned from the lessons of the first leg, they are determined to break through Wolfsburg's bus tonight.

As for the recent Bundesliga videos? Maradona believes the intensity of the matches is different. How could Wolfsburg dare to play attacking football against Everton?

gradually.

He stared blankly at the trajectory of the football rolling on the green field.

"Pretty!"

"Wolfsburg's independent attacks are very smooth in terms of passing and movement."

"Everton midfielders need to foul to stop Li Luo."

"He committed several fouls."

"Barkley needs to be careful."

"The referee will probably not give a verbal warning next, but will instead pull out a card."

The football was passed quickly between the green jerseys.

Positioning.

get rid of.

Pass the ball.

Li Luo constructed the offensive network with ease and composure.

Everton midfielder McCarthy kept running back and forth, trying to disrupt Wolfsburg's passing game.

It's hard.

Even if you catch up, you have to commit a foul to take down Li Luo.

He shared the same feeling as the head coach: how could Li, as the midfield core, possibly withstand this attacking style of play two months ago?

This kid's passing, ball control, and dribbling skills have all improved significantly!

Li Luo felt differently too.

He had never had such an easy experience while “weaving the net”.

It's not just about attribute improvements.

Everton played an all-out attacking style, unlike other Bundesliga teams that meticulously scrutinize the details of attack and defense.

"coming!"

"Pretty!"

"Send a through ball!"

"The meticulous passing finally lured Everton out of their weakness!"

The football left Li Luo's left foot.

It transformed into a sharp blade, piercing straight through the toffee's defenses.

Bendtner shook off the Everton center-back and charged forward.

A low shot.

1:0! ! !

The whole crowd cheered.

Wolfsburg teammates gathered at the celebration site.

Arsenal's "Everton King" excitedly embraced Li Luo: "After playing for Everton for so many years, I've finally scored a goal!"

far away.

Lukaku looked at the Wolfsburg crowd celebrating.

He couldn't help but raise his two index fingers to demonstrate Li Luo's positioning and ball passing routes during the match.

whispered:
"In a 90-minute match, Li Neng can give the team more opportunities to attack."

"More chances to finish."

"It wasn't just a single fatal pass; it was the gradual establishment of an advantage as a whole."

"The agent is right. If I become teammates with Lee, I can become the Premier League Golden Boot winner."

Courtside.

Black Gold clapped loudly.

"I said in the pre-game press conference that I wouldn't play low post defense tonight."

"Those guys at Everton definitely suspect I'm lying to them."

"Haha."

The other side.

Martinez held his head in bewilderment.

"Incredible."

"Li has become so much stronger in just two months."

The assistant coach thought for a moment and said, "Boss, I don't think it's because Li has become stronger. The Manchester United heir was already very strong. It's because he has integrated into Wolfsburg's tactical system!"

Everton's manager raised his hand: "Stop talking nonsense, get to the point!"

finally.

The referee blew the final whistle.

Wolfsburg 4:3 Everton.
