Chapter 13, second badge acquired! An opportunity for further advancement has arisen!
Chapter 13, second badge acquired! An opportunity for further advancement has arisen!
The difference in skill on the field was obvious.
Manchester City's defeat was inevitable.
Just before halftime, Pogba drew his bow and arrow from about 30 meters away.
With a low, powerful shot, he sent the ball blasting into the corner of the net.
Three to zero!
After switching sides, the crushing massacre continued.
After receiving a diagonal pass from Lingard, Liu Yi suddenly had a brilliant idea and tried a first-time volley!
Unfortunately, that shot went too far.
After all, the archery skill is only 76, not 96.
Continuing his steady approach, Liu Yi sprinted along the intermittently visible green line and scored another goal in the 60th minute.
hat trick!
Liu Yi strolled leisurely toward the corner flag area, but before he had gone halfway, he was surrounded by his teammates who swarmed around him.
Cheers erupted from the stands.
Seeing this, Manchester United fans are convinced that Manchester United will have a brighter future than Manchester City!
After the celebration, Liu Yi looked alone towards the sidelines, clenching his fists and rotating them in front of his chest.
Brian was somewhat puzzled.
Is this a newly developed celebratory gesture?
The junior teaching assistant nudged Brian, who seemed confused, and whispered:
"Boss, it seems... this isn't a celebration gesture. It's probably Liu getting tired and signaling for you to take him off."
※※※
"Get some rest. You were exhausted from this match, but thanks to you, we won!"
Brian patted Liu Yi on the shoulder with satisfaction.
I remember how much I disliked this kid when he first joined the team.
Thinking back now—oh, it smelled so good!
This kid's performance is no less than Morrison's last season. And compared to the infamous Morrison, Liu Yi's only criticism is that he just strolls around on the field. Strolling around is fine as long as he can score goals.
Although Liu Yi left the field, Manchester United's attack continued to be intense.
Pogba and Lingard shifted their focus from delivering shells to their own performances.
Unfortunately, neither of them currently possesses the consistent finishing ability that Liu Yi has.
Three long whistles.
The referee pointed to the center circle.
Manchester United U18 secured their first victory in the Chinese Super League.
Liu Yi, who scored a hat-trick, was named the best player of the match.
The first team was on an international break, and surprisingly, the Manchester local newspapers, which usually lack media coverage, devoted a significant portion of their coverage to the match.
Manchester Evening News: "Chinese rising star shines in the youth league, Liu's hat-trick easily secures victory in the city derby!"
Daily Manchester: "Unveiling the Chinese prodigy at Carrington, or perhaps alongside Maurice Forest's Gadgba as one of the 'New Class of '92'?"
Sina Sports: "Is it dawn?! Xie Guanfeng and Bai Yong taken away for investigation; Chinese football reform is imminent!"
UC Sports: "Ferguson watches the game live, Liu Yi smiles slightly; he has won the manager's trust!"
Baidu Tieba [Liu Yi Bar]
It was originally a forum created by an online user to gather people from all over the country who share the same name as him.
Instead, a large number of football fans flocked in.
[Yidi is awesome!]
Did you watch Manchester United U18's latest match? A resounding away victory against Wigan Athletic U18, with Yi Di scoring a hat-trick in consecutive games!
Wow, 6 goals in 2 games! Does anyone know what level the Chinese Youth Super League is roughly at?
[It feels similar to League One. Only a small percentage of these players can be promoted to the first team, which is the level of the Premier League and Championship. The vast majority will leave the youth academy after reaching adulthood and start over from League One, League Two, or even lower.]
Hey bro, can you tell me how to pick the winners for these matches? They don't seem like sure bets...
Throughout September, Manchester United U18 won all four of their matches in the Youth Super League, displaying incredible momentum.
The team scored a total of 20 goals.
Half of them came from under Liu Yi's feet.
In stark contrast, Liu Yi's average running distance was the lowest in the game.
4 kilometers!
It's like an old man taking a stroll!
However, considering that all four games ended early in the match, Liu Yi's average playing time was only around 60 to 70 minutes.
All of this was harmless; Liu Yi still won the MVP award for the North Division of the Youth Super League in September with an overwhelming advantage.
"A great start! I'm confident we can win the FA Youth Cup again and reclaim that damn league title!"
McClair showed the locker room a trophy even smaller than the Korean man Dick's, and then shoved it into Liu Yi's arms.
Liu Yi smiled too.
[Mission Complete!]
The sweat I shed during training and competitions this month has finally paid off; the harvest season has arrived.
Go back to dorms.
Lind, who was in bed opposite, was covered by the covers, probably secretly studying the video of the confrontation again.
With no one bothering us, now is a good opportunity.
Quietly getting out of bed, Liu Yi slipped into the bathroom and accessed the system panel.
[Mission Accomplished: Winner of the September Player of the Month award in the North Division of the Chinese Youth Super League!]
[Reward: One random Iron-grade badge!]
The prize pool this time is...
[Mao Biao's "Responding to the Net" Badge!]
[Li Yi's "Emperor Protecting the Ball" Badge!]
[Westbrook's "Backflip" badge!]
These are truly legendary Chinese stories!!
Liu Yi laughed in anger. These black iron badges, like his incomplete black iron template, had significant side effects, and the added benefits were extremely limited.
But something is better than nothing, so Liu Yi didn't hesitate and firmly clicked the "Claim Reward" button!
boom!
Illusory black smoke filled the entire bathroom.
Take a closer look.
Next to Wu Lei's headshot, another blurry black figure is faintly visible.
Li Yi, China's legendary striker!
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Li Yi "Emperor Protects the Ball" badge!]
[Li Yi: Under the guidance of Coach Zhu, who is described as "Lu Bu among men, Red Hare among horses, and Guanghu among Zhus," I have successfully grasped the true essence of ball protection!]
My ball control is like Henry's!
Liu Yi dragged "Emperor's Ball Protection" to another empty badge slot.
[Ding! You have equipped the "Emperor's Protection" badge (Iron grade)!]
[Attribute Bonus: Ball Control +2]
[Ball possession: 76-78↑]
[Special Effect: When protecting the ball near the corner flag while facing out of bounds, you gain three seconds of "Invincibility," during which your physical strength attribute is increased to 99!]
Liu Yi was speechless.
Although it has no side effects, it also doesn't have any special effects that are of little use.
However, the improved ball control attribute is quite good. Combined with the results of regular training, it has reached 78 points, which is a good result.
Next, Liu Yi reviewed the results of the September training.
射术+1、射门力量+1、盘带+1、传球+1、对抗+1……
With a star player template by your side, the effect is dramatically improved.
The current panel looks like this:
进攻意识90射术77射门力量63头球40任意球50
Ball control 78, dribbling 64, passing 53
Speed 73, Stamina 64, Combat 62
Defense 20, Goalkeeping 10
Overall rating: 66-67↑
After a month of experiencing the Youth Super League, Liu Yi found it utterly boring.
Staying in the youth team to fish is just wasting time.
He probably wouldn't have a place in Manchester United's first team, which mainly plays a 4-4-2 formation.
Morrison is able to train with the team because he is fast and can serve as a substitute for left winger Giggs and Nani.
The forward position is full of talent – Rooney, Chicharito, and England's last Ballon d'Or winner.
There was even Berbatov himself pressing down on top of it.
The current rate of improvement is not fast enough.
Liu Yi squinted, pondering which direction to break through next, when he noticed a line of small bronze characters appearing above the originally black silhouette template.
[Host badge slots are full!]
