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

I focused my attention on the Perfect Center System, and the interface was quite clear.

Points: 1 [2012-13 UEFA Champions League Round of 16 Reward +1]

Unlocking the next template requires 2 points.

There's no need to wait until the end of the season for the points to be tallied; points are awarded based on real-time progress.

If all goes well, Mario has a real chance to improve again in the second half of the season.

With two perfect scores in each module, you'll soon be promoted, receive a raise, and reach the pinnacle of your career!

"Don't catch a cold, quickly put on your clothes and come with me to the post-match press conference!" Pereira patted his adopted nephew on the shoulder.

"Received~"

Mario glanced at his muscle size and was somewhat looking forward to the perfect midfielder unlocking the Yaya Toure module.

This kills two birds with one stone: it significantly enhances physical strength while also unlocking a passive ability to shoot from half-court range.

In this way, one's own combat radius is larger, which can give the opponent a stronger deterrent effect.

Now dressed in dry clothes, Mario no longer dreams of the future; his most important task is to lay a solid foundation and establish himself firmly in the present.

At the post-match press conference, Pereira couldn't help but praise his nephew, who was surrounded by admirers.

"We have secured a place in the Champions League knockout stage. This is the result of the whole team's hard work. Everyone has given their all for it."

"Mario's offensive options?"

"Sometimes you have to admit, a flash of genius can really change the course of events!"

"A perfect midfield lob?"

"That was just a glimpse of his outstanding performance. Two goals and one assist. He was Porto's brightest player tonight. The statistics don't lie."

On the other side, Coach Kiev didn't make any harsh remarks either. He, who is unlikely to face Porto again this season, has also become a member of the praise club.

"When the opponent has a player like Mario, tactical setup becomes extremely difficult."

"Vukojevic did his best, but it's a fact that one person can't stop him."

The microphone was handed back to Mario, and the reporter posed a very pointed question.

"Indeed, my efficiency in the Champions League this season has surpassed that of Messi and Ronaldo."

"But to be honest, while the statistic of contributing to 8 goals in 3 Champions League matches is very impressive, it doesn't prove that I'm already a superstar on the pitch."

"In my opinion, only players who can single-handedly break through the opponent's targeted strategies can be considered superstars."

"Of course, I will work towards that goal~"

.......

On the second day of the Champions League matchday, various reports emerged one after another.

After four rounds, Porto, Malaga, and Manchester United have already qualified for the knockout stage with two rounds to spare.

Manchester City, who have performed well in the Premier League, have only accumulated 2 points in the Champions League, making their chances of advancing slim.

Champions League - Reus scores and Özil equalizes, Real Madrid 2-2 Dortmund

Champions League: Messi's stoppage-time consolation goal secures Celtic's 2-1 upset victory over Barcelona.

De Jong's two goals and Aguero's heroics save Manchester City from a 2-2 draw, leaving their qualification hopes fading.

"The Spirit of the Red Devils!! Manchester United overturn Braga to advance to the knockout stage with two games to spare."

Pre-match praise and dazzling performance: Super Mario helps Porto secure a place in the knockout stage.

Pre-match commendation and Infantino's personal awarding of honors: Portuguese giants become Champions League moral exemplars.

Porto's young player claims his efficiency surpasses Messi and Ronaldo, showing superstar potential!

- [Where did he get his confidence?]

-【You've really gotten arrogant. Besides the game against PSG, you've only played two games against Dynamo Kyiv!!】

- [To be honest, the efficiency of these three games was really good, hahaha~]

- [Exactly, in the fourth round of the Champions League, Real Madrid and Barcelona played utterly awful!]

- [Wang Dao, Wang Dao, hurry and stock up on future superstar jerseys!]

-【He's just getting ahead of himself because others don't know him well enough and he got lucky!】

[Brothers, he said he still has shortcomings, can't you read the whole thing before criticizing him?]

- [Here's a scoop: Kyiv's formation fell apart in the final moments, looking like a training match. It's obvious UEFA favored Porto!]

-【That makes sense. Ukraine awarding him a medal means the home team definitely threw the game!!】

- [Look at Vukojevic's defensive stats; it's not that Kyiv didn't defend, it's that Mario specifically targets transition offense and defense for surprise attacks.]

- [Mario had 3 key threatening passes and an 83% dribbling success rate in this match. Don't jump to conclusions!]

The news headline, which was only half-finished, generated even more buzz for Mario.

Contributing an outstanding performance in the UEFA Champions League, the most prestigious competition in football, can indeed quickly boost one's profile.

In contrast to Mario, who rode the wave of opportunity, is the newly rich Manchester United in the Premier League.

This piqued the interest of the Mansour consortium, who proactively contacted Mendes to explore the possibility of a transfer.

Mancini's Premier League defending champions have seen a decline in statistics across the board this season, especially in attack.

Whether in the Premier League or the Champions League, Manchester City has struggled to score in several matches.

The formidable Portuguese Super League rising star, Super Mario, naturally caught their eye.

Mendes was in a good mood after receiving the call. Given Mario's current trajectory, the €6000 million release clause was nothing.

Born in June 1994, he was only eighteen years and five months old when he showed such remarkable talent.

近两个月的时间，联赛5球3助攻、欧冠5球3助、国家队2球3助！！

While there might be a slight advantage to being a rookie or a case of dominating weaker opponents, the data is solid!

"The player currently has no opportunity to leave during the winter transfer window; he still needs to hone his attacking skills in the Portuguese league."

"I will convey your sincerity to Mario~"

"Don't worry, my client is someone who craves a challenge, so his time in the Portuguese league definitely won't last long~"

It could take two years at most, or one year at least, for Mario to pursue higher income and a higher platform.

When the time comes, Portugal's next €100 million man will definitely be this Porto number 22!

After hanging up the phone, Mendes immediately sent a message to Mario's service team, instructing them to fulfill all of this promising young man's requests.

This can be glimpsed from the fact that Mario immediately sought out a personal fitness trainer.

This young man is a self-disciplined teenager with aspirations.

Therefore, Mendes was very confident that Mario was definitely not the kind of player who would have his agent team arrange dates with fans.

Both are highly promising young players who scored a hat-trick in their Champions League debuts, but my host will definitely not be like that Everton boy.

Overly mature~

At the marina in Condi, Mario, who was being thought of, sneezed several times.

"Brother, be careful not to catch a cold. You're an important player for Porto now!" Sofia, his younger sister, said with concern.

"I'll go put on a coat." Mario dared not let his guard down.

Having secured points in the Champions League knockout stage, he's already looking ahead to the points needed to win the Portuguese league title; he can't afford to lose points in the league because of these minor issues.

After handing over the fishing boat to his parents, Mario didn't forget his national team teammates.

Fabio, this brand of fishing boat is powerful, spacious, and quite good!

[We can go sailing together during the off-season!]

By the way, congratulations on becoming a dad!

Coentrao, who had just recovered from his injury in Madrid, twitched his lips. "Next time the national team plays, you'll have to treat us!"

So what if you get a hefty signing fee?

I'll get back into form and make sure I get paid when I renew my contract!
