Football: Starting from being abandoned by Barcelona

After De Bruyne introduced himself, Li Lei took the lead and said, "Hello, Captain, I'm glad to be here at Manchester City."

The reunion of Li Lei and De Bruyne made the atmosphere in the locker room more lively.

Everyone can see that these two former teammates at Chelsea have a deep friendship and tacit understanding with each other.

Kompany looked at Li Lei and De Bruyne chatting enthusiastically, and a gratified smile appeared on his face.

As the captain, he knows the importance of cohesion and chemistry within the team to the results.

The arrival of Li Lei and De Bruyne has undoubtedly injected a shot of confidence into Manchester City.

"Li, on behalf of all members of Manchester City, I welcome you to join," Kompany said, stepping forward and shaking hands with Li Lei enthusiastically.

"Your performance in the past two seasons has left a deep impression on us."

"Now, we are very happy that you can become a member of Manchester City and fight side by side with us."

Li Lei nodded modestly: "Thank you, captain, I feel very honored to come to Manchester City."

"I will do my best to contribute my strength to the team. Let us work together to create miracles in the new season!"

Kompany patted Li Lei on the shoulder approvingly, and then turned to all the players: "Listen, guys, our lineup this year is unprecedentedly strong."

"Li Lei, De Bruyne, Sterling, plus our original strong core, I believe that under the leadership of Guardiola, we will definitely make a breakthrough in the new season and win honor for Manchester City!"

Cheers and applause rang out in the locker room, and everyone was excited about the arrival of the new season.

Li Lei looked around, looking at the enthusiastic faces of his teammates, and his heart was also infected by this enthusiasm.

"By the way, Li, welcome to Manchester!" De Bruyne suddenly said.

"I can take you to experience the charm of this city. Believe me, you will love it."

Li Lei smiled and nodded: "That's great, Kevin. I'm not familiar with Manchester yet, so I'll ask you to take me around."

"Leave it to me!" De Bruyne confidently raised his thumb.

"But I remember that this is your first time here too!" Li Lei joked.

Just when De Bruyne was exposed by Li Lei and was a little overwhelmed, the door of the locker room was pushed open again and Guardiola walked in.

The room was silent instantly, and everyone stood up, waiting for the famous coach to speak.

Guardiola looked around, his eyes lingering on the faces of each player. When his eyes met Li Lei's, Li Lei could feel the wisdom and determination in those eyes.

"Welcome everyone to Manchester City," Guardiola said.

"I know that each of you has a dream of winning honor for this great club."

"We will work together to create miracles in the new season."

"Remember, each of you is an indispensable part of this team."

"Now, let's start training!"

The players responded loudly, and the whole locker room was boiling.

The coaching staff did not arrange heavy training tasks for them that day, mainly focusing on physical examinations and physical recovery.

After all, after a summer, 2-3 months of vacation, these players were too indulgent, and it was good enough to be able to maintain the proper physical fitness.

What's more, some of them were seriously overweight, and some of them suffered during this period before the start of the season.

After the first day of collective training, Li Lei and De Bruyne celebrated this long-lost reunion in a good local restaurant in Manchester that night. The two talked about their respective experiences in the past year.

Li Lei and De Bruyne sat in the restaurant, enjoying delicious food face to face, and chatting about their experiences after separation.

The soft lighting in the restaurant set off a warm and comfortable atmosphere.

"Kevin, I didn't expect that we would be reunited so soon," Li Lei raised his glass and clinked it with De Bruyne.

"It was more than a year ago that we played together at Chelsea."

De Bruyne smiled and nodded: "Yes, time flies."

"Those days were really great. We won the double championship together at Chelsea. That feeling is unforgettable."

"Speaking of which, your performance in Wolfsburg was really outstanding," Li Lei praised sincerely.

"Your assists and key passes have become the core of the team."

"Now, you have returned to Manchester City for 76 million euros, which is simply a miracle."

De Bruyne smiled shyly: "In fact, I have never forgotten the Premier League."

"When I left here, I was determined to return to the Premier League one day.Super."

"Now Manchester City has given me this opportunity, my dream has come true, I will definitely go all out to help Manchester City win more honors."

Li Lei nodded, his eyes flashing with admiration: "Your story inspires me, Kevin."

"You have proved yourself with your strength and won the respect of everyone."

"I believe that under Guardiola, we will definitely be able to work together to create more miracles."

"Of course!" De Bruyne raised his glass to indicate, "Guardiola's coaching style focuses on ball possession and offensive football, which is very suitable for our characteristics. ”

“With you, me, Sterling and Aguero, our midfield combination will be invincible!”

Li Lei smiled and clinked glasses with De Bruyne again: “Cheers to our new season! Let the Blue Moon shine brightly in the Premier League and the Champions League!”

“Cheers!”

The two took a sip and continued to talk about their own interesting stories and feelings in this year.

Li Lei talked about his wonderful time in Leicester City, while De Bruyne shared his growth experience in Wolfsburg.

Time is spent in pleasant exchanges Time passed quietly during the conversation, and the night outside the window became darker.

Li Lei and De Bruyne ended the dinner with reluctance and agreed to meet again another day.

Walking out of the restaurant, Li Lei took a deep breath of Manchester's night air.

He knew in his heart that this city would witness his new chapter in the Blue Moon.

The reunion with De Bruyne made him full of expectations and confidence for the new season.

"Manchester City, here I come," Li Lei thought silently in his heart.

"I will use all my efforts to help the team win the glory that belongs to us."

"Let us write the legend of the Blue Moon together!"

Back in the villa, Li Lei, who was lying on the bed, slowly entered the soul space with his consciousness. He had not touched the reward from the last FA Cup.

Maybe the FA Cup was not strong enough, the system only gave attribute points, but no skill blind box.

Now the new season is about to begin, it's time to continue to strengthen your own attributes.
