The perfect midfield: It starts with never passing the ball to Ronaldo.

Mario, who had no obligation to pass the ball to Ronaldo, brought some fun to the football world this summer transfer window, but due to limitations of the platform and his own abilities, his news coverage only lasted a day before fading away.

Only a small number of haters tirelessly hurl insults at him on social media every day.

Mario, who had activated the system, ignored these troublemakers. His years of experience watching football had taught him that, no matter when or where, the best way for a player to respond was to score goals and put on a good show.

Just as what cannot be obtained on the battlefield can never be obtained at the negotiating table, the honors and highlights on the football field are the most convincing proof.

Instead of criticizing Ronaldo for always mentioning Kakarot (Messi) like Vegeta, he should focus on integrating his own abilities!

Shooting drills with increasing distance;

Explosive power training;

Insert and connect with basic long-range shooting training;

Intensive training under fatigue conditions;

Simulated defensive interference with long-range shots training;

Multi-ball continuous long-range shooting training;

Sweat dripped onto the panel, forming a river, and the long-range shooting ability improved from 7 to 8.

Coincidentally, with a proper diet and training, his strength also increased from a weak 4 to a 5.

Unfortunately, this progress is not due to Mario's exceptional talent, but rather the normal growth of an eighteen-year-old boy.

The reason is simple: the changes in his physical abilities cannot keep up with the rate at which his long-range shooting improves.

Focusing his attention on the system interface, Mario was quite satisfied with what he had accomplished over the past month.

Name: José Mario Pereira

Age: 18

Height: 181 cm

Weight: 74 kg

The maximum score is 10 points.

• Strength: 4+1 points

•Speed: 7 minutes

• Physical fitness: 6 points

• Pace: 7 minutes

• Passing: 7 points

•Dribbling: 7 points

• Defense: 3 points

• Organization: 6 points

• Long-range shooting: 7+1 points (10 points) [Template: Lampard]

• Insert: 7 points

• Header: 5 points

• Set piece: 5 points

• Creativity: 8 points

At just over eighteen years old, with two 8s in creativity and long-range shooting, and five 7s in speed, rhythm, passing, dribbling, and forward runs, he's definitely a sword god from the Shilipo youth training team!

"Joseph, considering your age, you should avoid training with excessive weight. Focus on strengthening your core to compensate for the impact of insufficient lower body strength on long-range shooting."

"At the same time, when training for long-range shots, remember to keep your core engaged, ankles locked, and your supporting foot firmly planted on the ground to avoid joint injuries caused by body swaying."

With his own savings and his younger sister's sponsorship, he hired a fitness coach who was quite professional and continued to teach tirelessly even when they parted.

"Okay, thanks, Coach. I should head to Porto after my last class next week~" Mario smirked. It's time for the Dragon King to make his comeback!

"After a month of interaction, I've realized you're quite capable, but remember, as a young player, you need to remain humble in front of the team's veterans!"

"Never let a farce like that happen again, Mr. No Obligation." Before leaving, the old coach, who was two cycles older than him, not only gave him a list of things to keep in mind, but also offered his life advice.

Mario dismissed the advice of those who had gone before, believing that in the information age, both buzz and skill are essential to becoming a superstar.

Having just received a boost from Deep Blue, he only wants to tell the media that he's already taking out a loan for the 2013 Golden Boy award, and in the future, he even wants to say, "I'm number one, number two, and number three in the world!"

-----------------

The days of hard training always fly by. Just days after the former Arsenal captain had to make a difficult decision for love, Mario said goodbye to his family and set off.

As intercity trains move rapidly, the enthusiasm of the South gradually transforms into the resilience of the North.

Unlike the Tagus River in Lisbon, the Douro River in Porto divides the city in two, and then the Pont du Louis I connects the ancient and romantic banks.

In the old town on the north bank, the orange-red rooftops are layered upon each other, appearing even more intense under the sun.

Mario's destination is the new city of Gaia on the south bank. As a former military stronghold, it also has a domineering name: the invincible city.

Mario was pleased to learn of this title from his past life's memories.

The invincible person who emerged from the invincible city perfectly matches his temperament.

A new starting point, a new beginning—the journey to dominate the football world begins here!

Mario pulled out the business card his father had given him from his bag and confirmed his uncle's name again: Vitor Pereira.

By checking the official website in advance, Mario has confirmed that his cousin is the legendary coach who will lead Shanghai SIPG to their first-ever Chinese Super League title, and is now the head coach of the Dragons.

As Villas-Boas' successor, his performance in the 2011-12 season was still commendable.

30轮23胜6平1负，积75分，领先本菲卡6分提前夺冠。

Moreover, the team has a complete and strong roster for the new season, and has a very high probability of defending its Portuguese league title.

This is the icing on the cake for Mario, since activating a new template requires consuming Champion Points.

"My uncle Vitor, I hope you have discerning eyes!"

Mario, who had already communicated with his cousin beforehand, took a taxi directly to the Porto training center.

-----------------

The Porto training center, now in its tenth year of operation, covers a full 13 hectares and boasts 7 standard natural grass fields and 2 artificial grass fields, enabling it to adapt to high-intensity training in different climates.

This place is not only the daily activity venue for Porto's first team, but also the core hub of the club's youth training system and the lifeblood of the black market.

Between 2002 and 2004, Mourinho honed the team that swept across Europe to become a champion, and players such as Deco and Carvalho were forged into world-class stars here.

At this very moment, Pereira, who also wanted to replicate Mourinho's miracle, was meticulously watching the players carry out their daily training.

"Speed ​​up the passing and receiving!"

"Find two more edges!"

"Defensive positioning needs to be quick!!"

It has to be said that the scene on the training field at this moment and the club's slogan behind him, Quem não dá tudo, não dá nada (Nothing without everything), fit together very well.

"Vittor, your nephew is here for a trial today. Should I go and greet him?" The second assistant coach, who was adept at social skills, quietly approached the head coach and whispered in his ear.

Pereira waved his hand, "Selection will be based on club standards; we are a true powerhouse in the Portuguese league!"

Giving this big-mouthed nephew a trial opportunity out of consideration for his cousin is already more than enough. There's no need to continue exploiting his relationship with us and forcibly keep this low-EQ relative.

At most, I'd treat him to a meal after his trial failed, and then offer him a basic manual labor job at the club as a consolation prize.

Of course, if this kid can establish himself or even stand out in Porto's youth academy based on his own ability, then it wouldn't be a bad idea to promote him to work under my command, regardless of personal connections.

Shaking his head, Pereira stopped thinking about these trivial matters. His focus was on leading Porto to continue dominating the Portuguese league and striving to go further in the Champions League.
