Starting with playing defensive midfield for Evergrande

Chapter 32 Su Bai actually dared to submit false accounts? (Please add to your favorites)
[Damn, I'm impressed! This is the first time I've seen such a talented player in China. Look at that first lob shot! I never even dreamed that a Chinese player could pull that off!]
-
[That's right. Forgive me for calling him "Su the Great" before, but I watched the whole game. No wonder Lippi valued Su Hao and put him in the starting lineup. In my opinion, he should not only be a starter for Guangzhou Evergrande, but also a midfield core for the national team!]
-
[Pah! Can't you stop being disgusting when I'm in a good mood? Su Hao should just stay in his club; the national team is too complicated. He can go back in a few years!]
-
[Haha, that was awesome! 5-0 and that last kick! Just for that one kick, I'm a Su Hao fan now! That Japanese guy's expression was hilarious; he was all menacing towards Zhang Linpeng just a moment ago, and then he was gone!]
-
[Hey! Don't get too cocky. That kick might get Su Hao banned for six months or something. We finally found a promising talent, what if he gets banned?]
-
[Six months? You're underestimating Mr. Xu? Believe it or not, Mr. Xu is already pulling strings to find out who's in charge of the AFC Disciplinary Committee. Evergrande's PR capabilities—no, I mean superpowers—are beyond your imagination!]
-
[Hehe, you're right. With Boss Xu mediating, I don't think Su Hao will have too much of a problem. After all, it was that little Japanese guy who fouled maliciously first, pulling his hair. That woman actually used those tactics on the court!]

That night, the names of Evergrande and Su Hao were everywhere!

And faraway Japan!

Following General Manager Xu's instructions, after the match, the entire Evergrande team returned to the hotel for a small celebration ceremony.

A very simple celebration!

Su Hao didn't witness any of Evergrande's extravagant hospitality. Perhaps at this moment, Evergrande really wanted to focus on football and results.

However, what Su Hao didn't know was that after he and Zheng Zhi chatted for a few words and fell asleep that night...

Old Zheng's phone, which he had clearly put on silent, suddenly lit up!
A resounding victory, plus 10 days until the official start of the league.

The next day, Marcello Lippi simply announced the team's immediate disbandment.

Those who want to stay in Japan can do so for a few days, while those who want to go back can join Lippi and others on Xu Jiaying's private plane and return directly.

In the hotel, Su Hao was a little troubled looking at his older brother, who had clearly gone to bed early but was still in bed at 10 o'clock.

Traveling in Japan?

Honestly, as a traditional Chinese man, who wouldn't want to have some fun in Japan?

But the problem is, with his awkward age and a pitiful six thousand yuan in his pocket, what kind of game can he possibly play?

Left with no other choice, Su Hao had to return to China with Lippi.

To Su Hao's surprise, out of the entire team of more than twenty people, only he and Conca chose to return with Lippi... and the owner Xu Jiaying.

Conca missed his child, while Su Hao had a combination of reasons, so he figured he might as well go back to training.

However, it was Su Hao who told Lippi that he planned to return to the club for training, which made the old man Lippi smile so much that his wrinkles appeared.

He even immediately decided to shorten the team's holiday from four days to two days!
Well, thank goodness there weren't many people around, otherwise if Qin Sheng and his group found out that they had messed with him and their four-day trip to Japan had been reduced by half, they would have drowned Su Hao in their spittle!
The AFC is quite efficient!

Of course, Evergrande's public relations capabilities have also been recognized by its own people.

Shortly after Mr. Xu's private jet landed at Guangzhou International Airport, the AFC's report on the handling of the cases involving Guangzhou Evergrande and Urawa Red Diamonds was released.

Keita Suzuki committed a malicious foul, resulting in an additional $5000 fine and a two-game suspension.

Su Hao committed a retaliatory foul, resulting in an additional $10,000 fine and a two-game suspension!
With that kick, over 60,000 yuan was thrown out. Su Hao felt a pang of heartache looking at the fine. No way, he'd only kicked it to get revenge for Zhang Linpeng; he had to make Zhang Linpeng pay some of the fine!
Hey!
Seeing the proposed decision, putting aside the fines and such, Su Hao knew that his next AFC Champions League match would have to wait until April against Muangthong United.

However, in the original history, even without Evergrande, they only lost the first game and entered the knockout stage. Now that they have won the first game, there is absolutely no problem for Evergrande to enter the knockout stage.

The question now is what choices he should make in the future!
Make money
As long as I stay with Evergrande, given Evergrande's financial situation in recent years, I should be able to save at least tens of millions of yuan without any problem.

Moreover, Beckham's instant fame is like a goal. Hehe, Su Hao is already fantasizing about endorsement deals coming his way after returning to China.

As is customary, these kinds of endorsements usually involve pairing the endorser with a female celebrity or something similar.
Of course, Su Hao didn't care about money or getting himself a female celebrity.
But with the system locked now, it seems he has nothing else to do besides making more money.
broker?
I don't have an agent yet, and without an agent, many things are difficult.
But besides that!

Suddenly, Su Hao remembered the fourth entry that had appeared after he completed the initial system task!

[4. The unlocked passing talent cap can be increased by earning points through matches and training.]

Previously, I was so focused on looking at my treasure chests when I entered the system that I completely forgot that my passing skills could now be improved through match and training points.

Without hesitation, Su Hao immediately re-entered the system.

Sure enough, an energy or experience bar, similar to leveling up in an online game, appeared below the pass panel data that originally had no extra features.
At this moment, the experience bar is covered by red and green colors, about 10% of it.

The proportions of red and green are roughly equal!

Ten days of training plus one match.
Su Hao estimated that this increase would take about 10 games plus more than 100 days of training, or even 20 games to raise his passing value by one level.
Ok!

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

To upgrade his already world-class passing rating of 88 to the talent cap of 95, it would take him a whopping 70 games.
This speed is incredibly slow.

It will take at least two seasons.
This is assuming you consistently maintain your training.

After sighing and complaining for a while, Su Hao logged out of the system.

"Xiao Hao, hurry up and eat. Your dad said he has over 500,000 yuan more in his account. What's going on with this money?"

Just as he logged out of the system, Su Hao heard his mother calling from outside the door.

Ok?
Su Hao was a little confused?
More than half a million?

Shouldn't the bonuses add up to a little over 150? Even after taxes, it wouldn't amount to a million!
Could it be that old bastard Su Bai?
PS: Dads are awesome! It's eleventh on the new book list with 70,000 words, and it's a niche football novel. I'm so excited!
Please, dads, keep going!
