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

Chapter 68 Proving the Dao and Becoming an Emperor? (Mentions the Chinese national football team; transitional chapter)

Little Britain.

Manchester United have no European competition matches to play.

Van Gaal and his staff have ended preparations for the next round of the Premier League ahead of schedule.

"The meeting is dismissed!"

Several long-time employees of Manchester United turned on the projector again and watched Wolfsburg's match with great interest, seeking some solace.

gradually.

More and more people stayed in the conference room.

"Your teamwork is excellent!"

"good."

"Oh dear, Ricardo delayed the Wolfsburg conversion."

suddenly.

Everyone leaned forward, their eyes lighting up.

"Amazing."

"That outside-of-the-foot shot was absolutely brilliant!"

clap clap clap!
The performance of Manchester United's heir has thrilled the long-time staff of the Red Devils.

Van Gaal's large head peered in through the corridor window, clapping his hands vigorously. Though his face was stern, his tone was full of admiration.
"Black Gold's training abilities are simply incredible."

"Li's attacking methods are becoming more and more diverse, making it difficult for opponents to predict his moves on a macro level. Combined with his understanding of time and space, our Manchester United genius is becoming more and more mature."

He needs an assistant.

“With the guidance of Pirlo and the Juventus guys, Pogba is becoming more and more well-rounded.”

"With one playing on the right and the other on the left, no matter how they rotate, Manchester United can achieve unprecedented and revolutionary changes!"

"One fast, one high."

"Even one in front and one behind."

Old Fan got excited and scurried back to the conference room, loosened his red tie, and moved out a large tactical board.

"Curved blade".

"A sharp sword."

"Next summer transfer window, Manchester United will bring Pogba back and let him support Lee."

He tapped his fingers firmly on the tactical board, his tone resolute.

The setting sun shone through the gauze window, illuminating everyone's face.

At this moment, Lao Fan was beaming, looking just like a success lecturer.

The teaching assistants and staff were like the students in the audience who occasionally cheered and wanted to pay.

Giggs suddenly raised his hand and said, "Boss, we don't necessarily have to buy Pogba back."

"Humph!"

Van Gaal shook his head, his tone heavy: "Who are our opponents in the Champions League? It's Barcelona's MSN! It's Real Madrid's BBC! And the top midfield combinations and defensive powerhouses from various elite teams!"

"You mean, Li alone is going to take on all the star-studded European powers?"

Everyone's blood boiled after hearing this.

Giggs was completely bewildered: In Li Luo's first season back at Manchester United, the coaching staff set such high goals?
The Apennine Peninsula.

Pogba, gripping the controller, sank his tall, strong body into the velvet sofa, completely absorbed in the game.

His striking mohawk hairstyle, with red on the left and green on the right, was particularly eye-catching.

Agent Raiola approached, crouched down, and said, "Paul, Manchester United are very interested in you."

His voice was low, but he couldn't hide his excitement.

"so what?"

"Paul, Lee will return to Manchester United next season, then..."

Without looking up, Pogba interrupted, "I saw his recent videos online. He's a little bit smarter than me, just a little bit. To put it another way, in chess, he can think two steps ahead of me."

Raiola's eyes widened, and he was stunned for a moment before exclaiming in shock, "How did you become so smart, kid?"

"If you go back to Manchester United, Paul, give Lee a few more assists and work well with him. More people on Earth will like you then."

"The midfield duo, with the blood of Manchester United's youth academy flowing through their veins, are leading Manchester United on the road to revival, climbing to the top of Europe, and even making history. What does this mean? A beautiful and touching fairy tale, explosive marketing material!"

"As long as you don't go against him, you have a chance at the Golden Globe!"

The Italian football agent, looking excited, gestured wildly as he described a grand plan.

He tried to keep his words simple and avoid going into deeper meanings, because he was worried that the little black Frenchman wouldn't understand.

Pogba put down the controller and said angrily, "It's all your fault, I died again."

“.” “I will win the Champions League with Juventus this season.”

The Frenchman's tone was firm, yet earnest.

Raiola excitedly patted the other man on the shoulder: "Yes, yes, smart kid, keep up the good work, and I can get the newspapers to say: Paul Pogba was already a Champions League winner before he returned to Manchester United."

Public arena.

Two emotions are intertwined.

Wolfsburg fans unrestrainedly expressed their joy at advancing to the Europa League final.

Inter Milan fans had tears in their eyes; their team had been eliminated in the group stage.

Bang bang bang.

Three ship-mounted smoke grenades suddenly exploded in a corner of the stands, and a thick green wave of smoke, carrying cheers, quickly spread. This color belonging to Wolfsburg was the most vivid symbol of the home fans' ecstatic mood at this moment.

The sun was slowly setting, casting its last rays upon the stadium.

The ryegrass seemed to be veiled in a gentle golden gauze.

A common scene in cup matches: Wolfsburg captain Benaglio, along with the rest of the team, walks towards the dejected Inter Milan players.

"The celebration in the stands continued, but a different, moving scene was unfolding in the center of the field."

"The Wolfsburg players didn't act like condescending victors; they simply patted the Inter Milan players on the shoulder and whispered words of comfort."

"There are no permanent winners in the world of football."

"A temporary victory is worth celebrating."

"A temporary setback should not be defined."

Congratulations to Wolfsburg, and best wishes to Inter Milan.

Coach Zhang didn't dare to chuckle; he carefully read the script that He Wei had written in advance.

The section about "comfort" was improvised by him, inspired by the scene.

Zhan Jun took a sip of tea and began to explain the rise and fall of Inter Milan to the audience.

Studio.

[So Inter Milan had such a glorious past! The Queen of Europe! It's a pity they're currently in a slump, and then they encounter a tactical genius like Stéphane Ricci.]
-
I'm still savoring Li Luo's long pass with the outside of his foot tonight; it was absolutely mesmerizing.
-
My friend Luo's playing style is always so elegant.
-
[No more elegance, it's all about violence! The Asian Cup is almost here, and Li Luo is going to switch to a different playing style like Alaba and Bale.]
-
[This is hellish difficulty! We're facing a team with our full squad playing in Europe, plus strong teams from South Korea and Australia.]
-
[This is worrying. The coach has been focusing on improving Li Luo's passing, ball control, and system aura lately; will these abilities be useful for the national team?]
-
Don't put pressure on Li Luo; football is a team sport.
-
[Fun fact: Peninsula Suns is a Manchester United fan, and we'll be facing his team in the group stage.]

After comforting the opponents and thanking the home fans, they...

Li Luo followed his teammates back to the locker room.

[Shock Points Gained: 100147!]

[Should I spend 100,000 Shock Points to redeem the Europa League Star Player Blind Box?]

[Currently redeeming.]

The Asian Cup is drawing ever closer.

The ultimate test is coming.

Li Luo will likely encounter many formidable opponents along the way: Australia, Japan's full-strength European squad, and South Korea's full-strength European squad.
The Asian Cup coincided with the Bundesliga's winter break.

Hopefully, my luck won't be too bad, and I can draw a few modules that will be useful immediately before the winter break.

Rumble!
The sound of thunder surrounded my ears.

A giant card suddenly appeared in front of him.

[Blind boxes are now open]

On the card, a figure with a "Bundesliga logo-style ball control" slowly emerges.

[I won't take a plane.]

No penalty kick.

There's a kind of ball control called Bergkamp.

[Congratulations on obtaining the Bergkamp "Ball Control" module.]

[This is a growth-type module; its effects will change as your attributes evolve.]

Your ball-stopping ability in all parts of your body has received a slight improvement.

[Additional attribute increase: Ball control +5]

All parts of the body?
Li Luo was slightly surprised; he was lucky this time.

I drew the Ice Prince module, and it's a growth-type module.

Possession: 75!

If I get lucky in the next few Bundesliga matches and improve my ball control, passing, and shooting to over 80, combined with other skills, I will definitely have a chance to dominate the Asian Cup.

Passing, controlling, and shooting—perfectly unified—leads to enlightenment and becoming an emperor.

The Immortal Emperor Realm of the Chinese Super League.
