Chapter 7: Batty GOL

In this situation, competing for speed is undoubtedly very unwise

The first star player ability card requires the consumption of 100,000 King of Balls points, while the second card requires 500,000 King of Balls points, and the third card requires 1,000,000 King of Balls points, and so on

The God of War, Batistuta, is also a superstar that Su Dong greatly admires. He fully embodies a kind of violent aesthetics, allowing fans to experience what it means to score with great gusto, and to feel the exhilaration of powerful strikes leading to miraculous outcomes

Additionally, at certain special moments or important milestones, the system will provide extra rewards

So why choose Batty

This is also a characteristic of Portuguese youth training, which is that parents place great importance on it, and every training session attracts many people

Sporting CP is not a strong team, but it is indeed an old club with a history spanning several decades

In the initial few assessment items, there were only a handful that left an impression on Gorbachev

However, this does not mean that after obtaining the ability card, Su Dong's capabilities will experience a significant enhancement, as the ability card merely represents the possession of a certain ability. The effectiveness of this ability, however, depends on Su Dong's own strength

Different player ability cards represent different skills of Ronaldo

Star player ability cards can grant the host a specific ability of a certain star player

However, Su Dong was sentenced to death by Gorbachev early on and was included in the purge list

Su Dong felt it, but did not take it to heart

Congratulations on obtaining the star player ability card 【Barty GOL】

"Why haven't you been coming to practice lately?" Gorbachev asked

But in the end, Su Dong still made a choice

Head coach Golba observed coldly from the sidelines

Due to Su Dong's absence from the team for over a month, Golba has already forgotten how Su Dong performed initially. Otherwise, upon comparison, he would certainly realize that Su Dong has made significant progress.

Most people at Sporting Lisbon look down on him, and he is not surprised by this

Although Sporting CP is considered a small club, there are quite a number of players participating in the assessment

However, if he fails the assessment tomorrow, he will have no choice but to pack his belongings and return home

"Hey, Su, come over here," called Gorba, the head coach of the youth team, from a distance.

Having understood this point, Su Dong began to ponder it carefully.

At present, his strongest attribute is speed, which has reached 51 points, and his potential is also the highest. His explosiveness is 46 points, with a potential of 71 points. It is evident that, as a player, speed is his advantage

As Su Dong entered the star player ability card section of the mall, what attracted him the most was his idol, Ronaldo

By oneself?

Su Dong does not think so, as he is well aware that speed does not hold an advantage

Among them, Ronaldo's ability cards are numerous, such as his shooting, dribbling, and even his pendulum dribble

Su Dong arrived at the training ground almost precisely on time. By this moment, a considerable number of youth training players, coaches, and parents had already gathered inside the venue

In light of the situation regarding star player ability cards, Su Dong must clearly identify his characteristics and advantages, and focus on these strengths when purchasing star player ability cards, ensuring that every point of player value is utilized effectively

"Then let us see the results of your recent training," Gorbachev said with an encouraging smile.

This is a team that harbors no hopes, yet Su Dong remains indifferent.

However, the reason Su Dong chose Bati GOL is not merely due to personal preference; in fact, Bati GOL also imposes considerable demands on physical strength, which happens to be Su Dong's Achilles' heel

Portugal has many African players, and the fast-twitch muscle fibers of African players give them exceptional speed and endurance. Therefore, in comparison, Su Dong's speed and explosiveness are indeed not remarkable.

The stadium and training ground are located in the heart of Lisbon, not far from the dock, the Belém Tower, and the Monument to the Discoveries

After exchanging for the star ability card, Su Dong purchased some items in the store

At most, it is just to bluff the outsiders

Gorbachev stared at Su Dong with considerable suspicion for a while, clearly not believing this assertion

The content of the assessment is also quite simple, which is a team competition

Su Dong was assigned to the weakest team, the Yellow Vests.

Another important point is that the player ability cards are charged on a tiered basis

The majority are players from summer camps and training classes, as well as victims like Su Dong

This is indeed a very troublesome matter

Without even comparing with fast players like Ronny, even José Semedo and Su Dong do not have an advantage in speed. In Sporting CP, there is no shortage of players with exceptional speed.

This is more like a lazy excuse

I practice ball games in the park to the north

Su Dong's technical skills are not strong; players like Ronaldo, Van Basten, and Van Nistelrooy possess exceptional shooting techniques, but they all require a solid technical foundation, even very refined footwork, such as ball control.

But should one choose a speed-oriented star ability card

The assessment officially begins after the warm-up is completed

If these abilities are relatively weak, then even with the star ability card, Su Dong would not be able to demonstrate any effect

There is no way around it; tomorrow's assessment is of utmost importance to him and must not be compromised

It is only natural to have no impression of mediocre players

... ...

This morning, he went to the Edward VII Park tennis court to practice as early as 5:00 AM, and he was very satisfied with his upgraded skills and the effects of the Barty GOL.

Although he was not late, Su Dong, who arrived slowly, still attracted the attention of many people

This is the first time in over a month that he has set foot on this field, to the extent that even the coaches of Sporting CP thought he could not endure hardship and had returned to his home country early

But now, Gorbachev leaves only one impression, which is that he is unremarkable

This is a very mediocre player

In comparison, Batistuta's requirements for technique are relatively lower

Su Dong now feels like an emperor flipping through a selection of beautiful women in his harem, with three thousand exquisite beauties, each one a stunning figure, but whom should he choose

As an Argentine player, Batistuta's skills are not delicate; he does not possess flashy dribbling or intricate techniques. He is more akin to a heavy, unrefined iron sword.

For example, in passing and receiving the ball, as well as in the 10-meter and 30-meter shuttle runs, he performed rather mediocrely, even revealing some shortcomings in his passing skills

The team competition consists of eleven players competing against each other. The match duration for the youth team is sixty minutes, divided into two halves of thirty minutes each. The coach will assess the performance of each player from the sidelines

... ...

Well

The value of the king of the ball is gone, but it can be earned back, especially after Ronny returns, it won't be difficult to boost it up again

At first, he still harbored some curiosity about Su Dong, but after watching a few warm-up events, he couldn't help but shake his head

... ...

There are many shooting-related star ability cards, featuring left foot, right foot, and heading skills, from Pelé to Maradona, from Van Basten to Ronaldo... Too many star ability cards placed before Su Dong are simply too attractive

Before the team competition, a series of warm-up training sessions were conducted. Su Dong did not exert himself fully, and his performance was not particularly outstanding

However, such matters are not important and have nothing to do with Sporting CP.

Su Dong sensed the unusual gazes around him, but he did not take them to heart and walked over quickly

These cost him more than 30,000 King of Balls points, depleting his entire fortune

He must have gone traveling, Gorbachev thought

The Tapadinha Stadium is the name of the home ground of Sporting CP. To the west is a gymnastics center, and to the north is an indoor swimming pool. There is a small-sized field between the gymnastics center and the indoor swimming pool

Several bottles of Marniu beverage, one serving of breakfast, one bottle of Titan potion, one bottle of energy potion, and one bottle of Swift potion

Moreover, wait a moment, he will participate in the competition fully buffed

Therefore, he can only engage in combat with full buffs

Accompanied by a message from the system, Su Dong felt a warm current surge into his mind, quickly spreading throughout his body. A very special sensation was spreading, but he could not clarify what it was for the time being

Batty GOL

More importantly, Su Dong's shooting ability is the second highest attribute after speed, reaching 47 points. Although his potential is only 64 points, with a little more time, he can definitely enhance his potential.

For example, the famous skill of Ronaldo, the pendulum dribble, when acquired by Su Dong, the effectiveness he can demonstrate depends on his speed, explosiveness, dribbling ability, agility, and his capacity to change speed and direction.

Barty's greatest strengths lie in his powerful shots taken from near the penalty area, as well as his strong strikes after maneuvering past defenders, and his turning shots taken while receiving the ball with his back to the goal

... ...

For instance, this time, the path of the king of football has been upgraded to the football manager, and the system has opened a mall, thus granting a star player ability card as an additional reward, which somewhat resembles a grand opening promotion

But the mockery in his eyes betrayed him

As for the issue of insufficient strength, it is not impossible to train, and in fact, progress can be quite rapid.

Based on their performance during regular training, the coach groups the players participating in the assessment

He indeed accepted the money

On the football field, there is no ability more captivating than scoring a goal

He secretly decided that he would definitely surprise them all later

What the current Soviet East needs most is a type of star ability card that can produce immediate results, as his goal is very clear: to remain in European football

Having understood this layer, Su Dong no longer hesitated and directly chose the star ability card of 【Bati GOL】

This is how youth training works; if a youth training camp can produce one or two players each year, that is already considered a significant achievement

This is the training ground of Sporting CP.

No matter how one chooses, there is a sense of losing millions
