Team Spirit

Chapter 75: Focus on Marking, the Childhood of a Legendary Superstar (Please Read)

It is now the winter break for all major leagues, that is, the winter vacation, and there are no games.

The UEFA Regional Cup is scheduled at this time and will not affect the schedules of the participating teams.

This is also because many amateur teams do not have the conditions to travel back and forth across Europe, so they gather in a certain place, at a certain time, and play all in one go.

The players have no objection to this kind of "extra training" because to them, it is simply a team-building trip abroad.

In China, it is also an out-of-province trip from Shaanxi to Shandong.

England: ???

There is no better winter break gift than this, which can really motivate the players.

But don't think that the level is low just because it is an amateur event.

Due to different conditions in different places, the strength of the teams also varies. Some teams are even composed entirely of professional players.

In order to better cultivate talented players and test their practical abilities, some top teams will try to get them to participate in such events.

For example, there are several names that Lu Kai is familiar with in the Spanish representative team.

In addition, because the UEFA Regional Cup is very down-to-earth and popular among some capital giants, the annual sponsorship is not low.

This year's champion will receive £50,000 in prize money.

If we can win the championship, won’t that give us a season’s salary?

The team's investment attraction will also benefit from it.

Finally, as UEFA has been reforming various competitions in recent years, the champion of this year's UEFA Regional Cup will also receive a special honor - the European Best Amateur Football Club Award and the European Best Amateur Player Award.

At the end of the year, he will be invited to attend the European Golden Globe Awards ceremony and will go on stage to receive the award!

Great exposure!
Lots of traffic!
It would be fine if it was in previous years, but the Ballon d'Or winner in 2001 was Liverpool's British star - Michael James Owen!
The three great basketball GOATs gathered together... Britain's first Ballon d'Or winner in decades.

The effect this has on England is absolutely historic!

By then, Owen will be the European professional football Ballon d'Or winner, and I, Lu, will be the European amateur football Ballon d'Or winner. The two of us will have a combined 81 points, and we will be honored as the best in European football by dividing the Thames!

Isn't it happy!

So don’t even mention Dartford participating in this event. Even if Wang Duoyu comes, he will still invest in this project!
……

A week later, in the lobby of his Dartford hotel, Lu Kai was waiting for Alfred to arrive while reviewing all the skills he had acquired during the previous half of the season.

[Basic Shovel·Black Iron 4]

【Basic Pass·Black Iron 4】

[Basic Heading·Iron 5]

[Basic Interception - Iron 5]

Among them, [Basic Interception] is upgraded to [Mobile Roadblock·Bronze]

Mobile Roadblock - Bronze: Your ability to disrupt opponent passes is slightly improved, even while moving.

Also gained several new skills:
[Man-to-Man Marking - Silver: Improved defensive abilities. Each match, you can designate one opposing player. The closer you are to that player, the stronger your defensive abilities will be.]

[Curve Pass - Bronze: The arc of the player's cross pass is slightly improved, making it easier for the ball to bypass defenders in parallel positions.]

[Basic Help Defense - Iron: The player's help defense ability is slightly improved]

[Basic Cut-In Iron: The player's cut-in ability is slightly improved]

The relevant data is improved as follows:

[Shooting: 63+1]

Long-range shots: 57+1

Man-to-Man: 45+3

【Defensive Position: 50+1】

Headers: 50+2

In less than half a year, Lu Kai's personal abilities have made great progress.

Among them, [Marking] is a high-level attribute in the defensive attributes, and is marked in red in the system panel.

There are also items marked in red in other major categories.

They are [Pre-shot Swing] in the shooting category.

[Balance and Flexibility] in the game control category.

[Pre-pass] in the passing category.

Not in the body category.

[Physical Strength], [Vision], and [Injury Resistance] in the hidden categories are all marked in red, except for [Left Foot] and [Right Foot].

These attributes marked in red are very difficult to increase, and their effects are often very powerful.

Many low-level forwards cannot make it in high-level leagues because the preparation time for shooting is too long. The same is true for passers, who take too long to pass the ball.

Other abilities can actually be used regardless of whether they are high or low. The only difference is whether they are useful or not.

But the difference in high-level attributes often determines whether you have a chance or not.

It's the difference between 0 and 1.

Chengdu:???
"Hey, are you stealing from me?"

Lu Kai was disturbed by the quarrel on the side and turned to look over there.

I saw a beautiful woman trying to get her bag back.

The other person was a thin man. Seeing everyone looking at this side, he pushed the woman down and rushed towards the lobby exit.

Lu Kai immediately stood up and rushed towards the other party from the other side, but the other party got out first.

Lu Kai followed closely behind, and with the physical fitness of a semi-professional player, he gradually closed the distance with the opponent.

boom!
At a corner, the other party was knocked down by three people who suddenly appeared.

Lu Kai took the opportunity to pounce on the opponent, pinned him to the ground, locked one of his hands, and ensured that he had no ability to attack.

"Fuck! Don't you have eyes?" The three people who were knocked down were not very old, and one of them had particularly white skin.

"Oh! Thank you!" The woman also chased out, picked up her bag, checked the contents, and after making sure nothing was lost, she breathed a sigh of relief and said to Lu Kai, "I don't know how to thank you. The things in this bag are very important to me."

“It’s about my future.”

"Could I buy you a cup of coffee?"

Lu Kai then handed the thief over to the hotel security who had caught up with him, and waved his hand, saying, "No need, it's just a piece of cake."

At this moment, the whitest of the three men who had been knocked down spoke up: "We also have people who help catch thieves."

The woman turned her head to look at the three people's appearance and nodded perfunctorily: "Thank you."

The whitest man was quite shocked. That's it?

How about coffee?

At this moment his partner suddenly pointed his finger at him and said, "Oh, damn! Andres, you're hurt!"

Andres, a very common name, but if it is followed by the surname Iniesta, then things become interesting.

That's right!

The white guy opposite is the future legendary star of both Spain and Barcelona, ​​Iniesta!
Lu Kai was not surprised by this.

In fact, a week ago, Lu Kai discovered "Xiaobai" when he was looking at the rosters of each team, and they had met each other.
