With maxed-out heading ability from the start, I became the king of Arsenal.

Brisbane Road Stadium, July 2010.

Leyton Orient head coach Slade shouted, "Guys, this is our last preseason friendly, so give it your all!"

"If we can play to our full potential, we can definitely be promoted to the Championship!"

"The coaching staff has brought in Crystal Palace for us; we need to really give them a workout!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the team members walked onto the field with high spirits, ready to play their last warm-up match before the season.

As he walked onto the court, Slade suddenly saw Sun Yu, who was sitting next to his team's bench, doing push-ups in an open space.

"346!"

"347!"

"348!"

As Sun Yu did push-ups, he counted to himself, sweat streaming down his chiseled face.

Slade shook his head helplessly, then shouted, "Sun! Hold on, I want to talk to you alone."

Sun Yu looked up and replied with a smile, "Boss, I'll be right there. Wait for me thirty seconds to make it a round number."

Slade sighed and shook his head: "Damn it, rounding up to a whole number again!"

Half a minute later, the two walked to a secluded spot.

Slade said helplessly, "Son, I'm very pleased to see the effort you've put into training."

"Without a doubt, you are the hardest-working player in this team, but you haven't focused your efforts on football."

"To me, you're more like a track and field athlete, but your football skills are still at the level of a 16-year-old."

"I've always believed that with your abilities, you could at least become a decent Championship centre-back."

"But at 19 years old, you're not yet ready to play in League One. Can you tell me why?"

Sun Yu gave an awkward laugh: "Boss, forgive me for not being able to tell you the truth."

"But I promise, starting tomorrow, I will show you the real me."

Slade laughed in exasperation: "Our conversations are like a romantic soap opera, one person wants the other to change, the other keeps making promises, but things remain the same."

"To be honest, as your coach who watched you grow up, I did everything I could."

"I'll give you fifteen minutes. If you can't impress me with your performance, today will be your last day at Leiden Orient."

Hearing Slade say that, Sun Yu immediately tensed up: "Boss, I still have a year left on my contract, I'll use..."

Slade waved his hand, interrupting Sun Yu: "Today will be the soap opera's finale. Keep doing your beloved push-ups. Good luck."

Sun Yu grinned and said, "Boss, I swear, if you abandon me, you'll regret it even when you're ninety."

Slade shook his head, suppressing a laugh: "Bad boys can always provide plenty of emotional value, but they never bring about any real change."

Sun Yu turned around with a smile, but his face fell as he returned to the bench; he was in a complete panic.

His intense physical training isn't because he's mentally unstable; he genuinely has unspeakable reasons for it.

Three years ago, Sun Yu transmigrated to this world and was also bound to a system.

但系统的启动条件非常变态，需要他在三年时间里，每天做500个伏地挺身、500个仰卧起坐、500个深蹲、100次50米冲刺和一个全力以赴的五公里跑。

For an average person, training at this intensity for a week would likely result in injury, let alone sustaining it for three years.

However, the system provides a protection mechanism that can ensure Sun Yu is not injured, provided that Sun Yu ingests enough nutrition.

As a result, during those three years, Sun Yu became a well-known big eater in the club's canteen, and his daily food intake was equivalent to that of three teammates.

Fortunately, once today's training is completed, the system can be officially launched.

With the system in hand, why worry about not being able to kick someone out in the future?

The three years of effort were definitely worth it.

Sun Yu was a professional football player in his previous life, but his peak performance was only when he played for a team in the China League One.

Becoming a world-class star has always been his dream.

His dream is about to become a reality. His career plan is to lead Leyton Orient into the Championship this season and then settle down there.

Back on the bench, Sun Yu rested while watching the game.

As a club with a history of over a century, Leyton Orient has been playing in League One and League Two for many years and is considered a small to medium-sized club.

This team is considered a decent team in League One, but it certainly can't compare to a long-established Championship club like Crystal Palace.

Time is running out; I must get the system up and running today.

After the match started, Leyton Orient players fought hard, but were quickly pushed back to their own half by the stronger Crystal Palace team.

Slade stood on the sidelines, constantly urging the team on, and Leyton Orient players managed to push the line forward again, but they couldn't hold on for long before Crystal Palace breached their goal.

In the 21st minute, Crystal Palace midfielder McCarthy successfully intercepted an opponent's pass in midfield and passed the ball to the right wing. Right-back Clyne dribbled the ball towards the center of Leyton Orient's penalty area.

He passed the ball into the penalty area before the left-back could intercept it, and right winger Skaner used his speed to outpace the Leyton Orient center-back the instant he received the ball, then fired a shot into the net.

That goal was too easy; the Crystal Palace player scored without much effort.

A few minutes later, Crystal Palace almost replicated the goal, this time scored by their center forward.

0:2.

What does it mean to be calm and composed, and to be at ease?

What does it mean to be in a hurry, stumbling and crawling?

This match was a textbook example of how Leyton Orient could be so easily defeated by a powerful Championship team.

At halftime, Leyton Orient had not managed a single shot on target; Crystal Palace players were as dominant as Barcelona against them.

As the second half began, Sun Yu had only one hundred push-ups left, and he needed to hurry and activate the system before the game ended.

Although Leyton Orient is only a League One team, it at least provided Sun Yu with a three-year livelihood and a platform to showcase his abilities.

Seize the opportunity, Sun Yu worked overtime to complete the last 100 push-ups.

"Finally all done, damn it, I'm exhausted!"

Just as Sun Yu finished the last push-up, a system notification sounded in his mind.

[Congratulations, host, you have met the activation requirements! The Superstar Development System is now activated!]

Sun Yu was so excited he almost burst out laughing. He immediately entered the system interface to explore it carefully.

The system currently only has its own data panel open.

Name: Sun Yu

Age: 19

【Height: 191cm】

Position: Center Back

Agility: 76; Stamina: 92; Speed: 80

[Footwork Strength: 93; Strength Combat: 89; Jumping Ability: 91]

Dribbling: 42; Tackles: 49; Slides: 48

[Vision: 48; Off-the-ball movement: 39; Defensive positioning: 43; Ball control: 61]

Passing: 48; Shooting: 47; Heading: 61; Free Kick: 39

No wonder I was so effective in the youth team, but suddenly became ineffective in the first team.

His physical attributes are truly top-notch; he would be considered a first-class player even in the Premier League.

But the technology and the mindset are truly appalling...

It's probably because the original owner's talent was indeed lacking, and her own consciousness also had flaws.

"Sun Yu, warm up and get ready to go on stage!"

Sun Yu's thoughts were interrupted by Slade. He stood up and made a gesture of straightening his suit towards the other man, who reiterated, "Kid, let me see your performance."

The system notification sounded again at that moment.

[Congratulations, host, you have received a newbie gift pack. Would you like to open it?]

Sun Yu excitedly issued the command with his mind: Activate!

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained a max-level skill card.]

hiss!

As expected of the Superstar System, it's a game-winning start.

I must make good use of this skill card.

At the same time, Leyton Orient was awarded a corner kick, and Slade immediately made a substitution.

With the match in the 76th minute, Leyton Orient is trailing 0-3 at home, and Crystal Palace's victory is assured.

The team's starting center-back, Oliver, glanced at Sun Yu with disdain and walked back to the bench without even giving him a high-five.

Sun Yu immediately swung his fist at Oliver, and in the instant the other man dodged in panic, he pulled his hand back, gently raised it above his head, and then ran gracefully onto the court.

With his vengeful nature and exceptional physical abilities, he nipped all workplace bullying in the bud.

For example, this Oliver doesn't dare to confront me directly, but he tries to save face by resorting to underhanded tactics. He's just a nobody.

Oliver waited until Sun Yu was out of sight before saying, with a fierce but weak voice, "This good-for-nothing contributes nothing but eating. Don't have any expectations of him."

"If we had a halftime contest where one player from each side eats the most, and that were scored, he could join a top club tomorrow!"

Oliver was so angry that his teammates burst into sarcastic laughter that he took off his jersey and threw it hard on the ground.

As he ran onto the court, Sun Yu made a decision.

Max out my heading skills!

In the short term, relying on defense to impress Slade is unlikely to be effective; he'll have to rely on scoring goals.

There's a saying that goes, "The best defense is a good offense."

Moreover, heading ability is an important attribute for center-backs, especially in a league like League One where long balls and crosses are common.

Fifteen minutes is too short; we must show Slade our core competencies.

It needs to become a formidable weapon in set pieces.

Bench bandits!

Header: 61-100.

The game restarted, and the players from both sides quickly engaged in close combat in Crystal Palace's penalty area.

Leyton Orient's right winger took a corner kick, and players from both sides immediately rushed towards the center of the penalty area.

In an instant, a red line connecting to the football appeared in Sun Yu's vision.

This is a football route!

The red line indicates that the ball will land on the far post of the goal, and it's a bit too high.

You can predict the trajectory of the ball as soon as your teammate kicks it!

To be honest, the superstar development system is his ultimate weapon!

Sun Yu immediately rushed to the left side of the goal and leaped high as the ball began to fall.

Although the corner kick was a bit high, it was thanks to the physical qualities I've developed over three years.

Sun Yu's body was clearly suspended in mid-air, and Crystal Palace's center-back rushed towards the ball, but it was too late.

He had already lost the initiative and could only look up at Sun Yu.

The moment the soccer ball flew towards his head, Sun Yu leaned back sharply in mid-air.

Then, using your core strength, push the ball with all your might!

Bang!

Accompanied by a crisp sound!

The football flew cleanly and decisively into the goal.

The Crystal Palace goalkeeper could only watch helplessly as the ball went into the net.

1 is better than 3!

The moment Sun Yu scored, the two thousand home fans present immediately erupted in a gasp.

"That was a beautiful header! Clean and crisp!"

"Don't be fooled by this goal scorer; this kid is no good!"

"Stop talking nonsense, just tell me, isn't it crispy?"

Inside the penalty area, the defenders all stared incredulously at Sun Yu, who was celebrating.

This guy.

What the hell is this monster?

This goal wasn't like a football goal at all; it was more like a basketball alley-oop dunk.

Crystal Palace's starting center-back Delaney, who was marking Sun Yu, spread his hands and shouted, "That kid charged towards the ball the instant he kicked it, who the hell could head it at that height?"

The other Crystal Palace players shook their heads with wry smiles, but it was just a warm-up match after all, and they didn't take it to heart.

Captain Dean Cox ran up and patted Sun Yu on the shoulder: "Well done, that header was absolutely perfect!"

Other teammates rushed over to give Sun Yu a high-five, and the team's morale was greatly boosted by the goal.

On the sidelines, Leyton Orient's head coach, Slade, stared wide-eyed at the powerful header: "This kid's physical abilities are absolutely insane! That header was like a wild beast's hunting instinct!"

"Keep him? He plays terribly."

"He's fired? But his physical attributes are simply beastly in League One."

Just as Slade was struggling with his decision, Sun Yu ran over and raised his arms to him: "Boss, this is just the beginning. You'll fall in love with me again sooner or later!"

Amidst the laughter from the bench, Slade shook his head, both amused and exasperated.

As Sun Yu turned to leave, a resentful Oliver said, "He's just a clown. Let's not be fooled by this goal."

Inside the stadium, Sun Yu was full of confidence.

There's still time. If he gets another corner kick, he can completely shatter Slade's dilemma.

Make the most of these fifteen minutes and prove your worth through action.
