《God of Football》 Chapter001 "Wow, what a great opportunity!" "Damn, he didn''t even score an empty goal, what a moron!" "Ah?! An empty goal!" "I''m so fucking impressed, he could even kick a ball like this?! Could it be a match-fixing?" "Get out of here!" ... Rosen kicked the ball away with a great opportunity to score an empty goal, and dozens of spectators on the sidelines roared in anger. This is a football field near Chinatown in southern Amsterdam, the Netherlands, where an amateur-level match is taking place, with Pulmes playing against Helleburg at home. Both teams, including the substitutes, are almost all white, and Rosen, who is only 16 years old, is a yellow man, which makes him look out of place. Just now, the Pulmes team played a wonderful attack. Another striker shot, and the Helleburg goalkeeper made a mistake in saving the ball. The ball bounced to Rosen who rushed into the penalty area, and the goalkeeper had already fallen to the ground. Rosen had a great opportunity to score an empty goal. As a result, facing such a sure-shot opportunity, Rosen kicked the ball over the crossbar. No wonder the audience cursed. Rosen himself was stunned and annoyed. After a long time, he lowered his head and walked back. No teammates came to comfort him along the way. Fortunately, at this time, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half of the game. But this does not mean that Rosen can escape. After coming to the sidelines, Rosen was reprimanded by the head coach of Pulmes, Van Deno, as expected: "Sen, you have been in the team for more than two months, played four or five games, and have not scored or assisted so far." "If we weren''t short of strikers, you would have been kicked out long ago. Just now, you wasted another empty-goal opportunity. I seriously doubt your ability." "I warn you, if you are still in this state in the second half, the team will expel you. I think you are not suitable for playing football at all, so go to the restaurant to wash dishes!" After saying this, the head coach Van Deno threw away the water bottle in his hand, turned around to direct tactics to other players, and ignored Rosen. Rosen lowered his head, feeling depressed, unable to refute. At this moment, a burst of electronic sound suddenly came from Rosen''s mind: "The football elf has successfully bound to the host Rosen, the host''s body scan has been completed, the data has been initialized successfully, and the host can communicate with this system through thoughts!" Rosen was startled, thinking that he had hallucinations, and looked up and looked around, but did not find anyone talking to him. Unauthorized use of content: if you find this story on Amazon, report the violation. At this time, he remembered the last sentence he heard in his mind that could be communicated with his mind, and he tried to ask in his mind: "Who are you?" Then, Rosen really got a response. Next, by communicating with the other party in his mind, Rosen basically understood what this system was. It turned out that he was possessed and bound by a system called Football Elf System. From now on, this system will always follow him until he dies. The source of the system is unknown, but it will not harm Rosen. The system will help him become a football elf, a hegemon on the football field, and become famous all over the world. At this time, Rosen saw his personal basic information on the system panel. Host: Rosen Nationality: China Age: 16 years old Height: 182cm Weight: 80kg Level: 0 Experience: 0/100 Attribute points: 0 Club: Pulmes (Netherlands) According to the system, attribute points are used to upgrade skill attributes, and are obtained by upgrading the host and completing tasks. The experience points required for upgrading are 100, 200, 300, 500, 700, 1000, 2000, 3000, 5000, 7000, 10,000... and so on. Upgrading to level 1-10 rewards 10 attribute points, 11-20 rewards 20 attribute points, 21-30 rewards 30 attribute points, 31-40 rewards 40 attribute points, 41-50 rewards 50 attribute points, and so on. The two values ??in the experience column mean that Rosen''s current experience value is 0, and the experience required for upgrading is 100. Currently, the Dutch amateur D-level league in which Rosen participates, under system evaluation, gives 20 experience points to assist teammates, 40 experience points to personal goals, and only 80 experience points to win the game, which is a relatively low standard. As for the draw result, there is no reward mechanism. Given that the system is named "Football Elf", its core goal is obviously to help the host become the winner of the game and the absolute leader on the football field. Therefore, neither a draw nor a defeat will receive system rewards. In addition to displaying Rosen''s personal basic information, the system homepage also has three secondary navigation buttons for skills, tasks, and packages. Click to enter and a more detailed content description will be presented. The skill page and task page are currently blank, and in the nine-grid layout of the package page, only the first grid contains the "Newbie Gift Pack". Rosen opened the novice gift package with his mind, and then heard a pleasant reminder sound similar to the game reward: "System prompt: Congratulations on successfully opening the novice gift package and obtaining the right to unlock a designated skill." "System prompt: Congratulations on successfully opening the novice gift package and obtaining 20 attribute points." "System prompt: Congratulations on successfully opening the novice gift package and triggering the novice task." "System prompt: You have a new task to check." Then, a lottery turntable interface appeared in front of Rosen, with dozens of grids on the disk, marking the speed, physical strength, jumping, shooting, heading and other athlete skill attribute words. There is a red button in the center of the turntable, and a pointer mark above it. After Rosen clicked the button, the turntable did not start, but a prompt box popped up, asking to specify a skill to unlock. After the prompt box disappeared, only the turntable was left, and each grid had a small circle for selection. Rosen carefully examined the various skills on the turntable, including speed, jumping, physique, reaction, long shot, penalty, header, running without the ball, etc. Considering that he had just missed an empty-goal opportunity before the end of the first half, Rosen, as a striker, was upset about his shooting performance. Therefore, he chose the "shooting" attribute to unlock without hesitation. After ticking the shooting attribute, Rosen clicked the red button in the center of the turntable, and the turntable started immediately. However, this was just a formal process. After the turntable rotated for a while, it finally stopped at the top, and the pointer accurately pointed to the skill "shooting". As the turntable lottery ended, Rosen''s ear rang again: "System prompt: Congratulations on successfully unlocking the shooting skill. You can use attribute points to add points to the shooting skill." After the turntable disappeared, the "Newbie Gift Pack" in the package turned into an unopenable "Level Gift Pack (Level 1)", which means that Rosen needs to upgrade to Level 1 before it can be opened again. Chapter002 On the system homepage, Rosen observed that the number in his basic data attribute column had changed from 0 to 20, which was due to the 20 attribute points given by the novice gift package. Then, Rosen entered the task interface and checked the first novice task. Task 1: First goal Task conditions: Achieve the first goal in the second half of the game against Helleburg in the Dutch amateur league. Task reward: 100 experience points. As long as Rosen scores a goal in the second half, regardless of the result of the game, he will complete the task and gain 100 experience points to upgrade. In addition, scoring will also reward an additional 40 experience points. After exiting the task interface, Rosen entered the originally blank skill page, and the first skill "shooting" and its attributes appeared, with a value of 6 and a "+" sign, which can be added. According to the system description, the maximum value of all skill attributes is 20, and the host can consume attribute points to add points, one point each time. However, it should be noted that when the skill is upgraded from 19 points to the full value of 20 points, 5 skill points are consumed. This is because the full value represents perfection, that is, accurate shooting, which is a realm that only Rosen with the blessing of the system can achieve. No matter how good other football players are, they cannot reach this level of perfection, even super strikers such as Pele, Gerd Muller, and Ronaldo are no exception. Therefore, it is reasonable to require 5 attribute points to upgrade from 19 points to the full value of 20 points. Rosen''s current shooting value is only 6, which may be the reason for his poor performance and inability to shoot into an empty goal. As for the opening of skill attributes, except for the novice gift package that can specify a skill to open, the subsequent ones will be opened by random lottery every level up. As for whether the skills opened are applicable, it is still uncertain. As the saying goes, it is better to master one skill than to be mediocre in a hundred skills. At present, Rosen urgently needs to improve his shooting skills to complete the novice task. If there is another shooting opportunity in the second half, but it is missed due to insufficient shooting skills, it will be too late to regret. This is not only a matter of completing the task. If Rosen still does not perform well in the second half, he may even face the risk of being expelled from the team. The reason why he was able to join Purmes was all thanks to the face of the restaurant owner Song Zhicheng, but since joining, Rosen has not shown any persuasiveness, and has not even had an assist. Even if Purmes is amateur and the league level is low, Rosen''s performance is really disappointing. The author''s tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. Van der No''s words are not alarmist. If Rosen does not perform in the second half, he may really be expelled, and Song Zhicheng''s face will be useless at that time. Therefore, Rosen urgently needs full shooting skills to seize the opportunity. So, he first used 13 attribute points to increase his shooting skills from 6 to 19, and then used 5 points to increase it to the full value of 20, leaving 2 attribute points. After his shooting skills were fully upgraded, Rosen vaguely felt some indescribable changes. He believed that if the opportunity in the first half reappeared, he would never miss the target again. At this moment, the coach instructed: "Sen, in the second half, you should run more to both sides to create shooting space for Henik. If you have the ball, try to pass it to your teammates, and don''t shoot without authorization." Henik is another forward in the team''s 442 formation. Obviously, the head coach intends to attack with Henik as the main force and ignore Rosen. Rosen did not refute, and nodded to indicate that he understood after closing the system interface. It is useless to refute. No matter what he said, the team could not use him as the core of the offense. On the contrary, refutation may cause the coach to be disgusted, or even be replaced in advance, which will be more difficult. Rosen has been a single parent since childhood, has poor academic performance, has been discriminated against, and has been deceived repeatedly. He has had a very bad life for more than ten years. Now, he was fortunate enough to receive the blessing of the mysterious football elf system, which improved his shooting skills to the perfect maximum value. He couldn''t wait to test his 20-point shooting skills. After the head coach''s tactical arrangement, everyone took a short break and the second half of the game officially began. Seeing Rosen continue to play, the home audience supporting Purmes on the sidelines booed and discussed in dissatisfaction. "Why hasn''t the Chinese player been substituted yet?" "Facing an empty goal but failing to seize the opportunity, what is his role on the field? Perhaps we should consider personnel adjustments." "We only have three forwards left and the substitutes are all in their 40s. We can probably just count on him to keep fighting until the end of the game." "Perhaps adopting a single striker tactic will be more effective than keeping Sen on the field at present." "We need to pay close attention. If Sen misses the opportunity again, we might as well express dissatisfaction to Van der No and force him to make adjustments." "This plan is feasible." "It''s indeed a good suggestion." ... The second half of the game between Purmes and Helleburg officially kicked off. Rosen followed the head coach''s tactical deployment and actively ran in and out of the wing to create offensive opportunities for Henik. However, Helleburg''s defenders seemed to pay no attention to Rosen, and instead focused their main energy on marking Henik. No matter how Rosen ran, he could only attract the attention of one defender at most, and the opponent only followed him from a distance and did not take close defense. In contrast, Henik was always closely marked by the opponent''s players, and there were defenders nearby waiting for opportunities to assist in defense. This caused the midfielders of Purmes to be hesitant when passing the ball to Henik, fearing that the opponent would steal it. More than ten minutes into the second half, Henik only received two passes from the midfield, and both failed to form a shot before being stolen by the opponent. Rosen ran into space many times, but the midfielders of Purmes rarely passed the ball to him. This reflects a trust issue. Given Rosen''s performance in the first half and the past two months, his teammates have low trust in him and are reluctant to pass the ball to him easily. Many times, midfielders would rather choose to dribble into the penalty area and try long shots than pass the ball to Rosen in the open space. Of course, amateur players'' long-range shots are relatively less threatening. Pulmes was weak on the offensive end, and Helleburg faced a similar dilemma. As low-level amateur teams, the two sides are equally strong. So far, the game is still deadlocked with a score of 0-0. Although Rosen occasionally had a chance to touch the ball, it was far from the goal. He did not try to shoot without authorization, but chose to pass the ball to his teammates. Despite his outstanding shooting skills, Rosen thought he lacked strength and lacked confidence in long-range goals. He needed to get a chance to shoot in the penalty area. After discovering that the opponent''s defenders mainly marked Henik and were relatively negligent about him, Rosen began to consciously run to the empty space in the penalty area when attacking. After two empty runs, Rosen finally had the first chance to shoot in the second half. Chapter003 In the 72nd minute, Pulmes launched an attack from the right. Right midfielder Donimic advanced with the ball, but was intercepted on the wing and failed to break through, so he passed the ball to the central midfielder Lanier. A Helleburg central defender followed Lanier and blocked his shot. At this time, right winger Henik had already broken into the side of the Helleburg penalty area, but was guarded by two defenders. On the left, Rosen was cutting in from outside the penalty area. Helleburg right back Kagel noticed Rosen''s movement, but his main attention was still focused on Lanier to prevent him from suddenly shooting after getting rid of the central defender. Kagel''s judgment was correct. Facing the defense of a central defender, Lanier dribbled the ball, opened up the angle, and took a long shot from outside the penalty area, and the ball went straight to the left goal. The defensive player stretched his foot to intercept but failed. Kagel predicted Lanier''s shot, fell to the ground in time to shovel the ball to the right, and successfully blocked the shot. Seeing this, Henik immediately rushed to the ball, intending to make up a shot. However, another central defender of the Helleburg team reacted faster and kicked before Henik, trying to clear the ball with a big kick, kicking the ball out of the penalty area and looking for a counterattack opportunity. Lanier turned to avoid it, and other players also thought that the ball would be cleared and prepared to turn back, including Rosen who was unguarded on the left. Unexpectedly, the central defender of the Helleburg team made a mistake in clearing the ball, and the ball hit his outside instep and flew to the left penalty area in a low arc. Cagle stood up to chase, but he could not reach the ball. The ball flew past him and fell behind Rosen who also thought the ball would be cleared and was about to withdraw. Rosen reacted quickly, turned to face the goal, supported by his left foot, and pushed the ball with the arch of his right foot, and the ball went straight to the near bottom corner. The whole process took only a few seconds. Rosen made the best shooting action and angle with his instinctive reaction. His superb shooting skills made the shot unblocked. After the ball was shot, Kagel rushed to Rosen, but it was too late. Although Rosen''s shot was not fast, it was extremely firm and went straight to the goal. Although the goalkeeper tried his best to save the ball, he still couldn''t stop the ball from rolling into the goal through the gap between his fingers and the goalpost. The audience cheered on the sidelines. "Good shot!" "Excellent shot!" "Finally scored!" "Haha, it seems that this Chinese is still capable!" Head coach Van der No also applauded and praised, with a smile on his face, thinking in his heart: "It seems that Rosen is not useless." On the field, Rosen was very excited when he saw the ball enter the net. He clenched his fists and roared to the sky, venting his excitement and depression. Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation. It has been more than four months since he was deceived to the Netherlands and more than two months since he joined Pulmes. Rosen finally scored his first goal in the Dutch league. Although it was only the Dutch amateur fourth division league, it was also his first goal in a foreign football league. ¡­ Rosen was born in a remote mountainous rural area in China. He had hair all over his body since he was a child. Except for the palms, soles of the feet, and lips, he was covered with hair of varying lengths, like an alien. When he was less than a month old, his father abandoned his wife and son and disappeared. Rosen was mentally retarded. He could speak only at the age of three and was clumsy. In addition, his father abandoned him and his mother had a child out of wedlock. He was bullied in his childhood and was always given insulting nicknames. Rosen showed completely different characteristics in physical fitness and intellectual development. Since childhood, he had an amazing appetite and his physical development was far beyond his peers. He was often ridiculed and provoked by his peers because of his unique body shape, which led to him frequently involved in conflicts. In view of this situation, Rosen''s mother Jiang Liantao decided to move him to the county town to rent a house when he was of school age, and made a living by selling vegetables to support his elementary school. During school, although Rosen''s academic performance was not satisfactory, he showed outstanding talent in sports. His height, jumping ability, explosive power, muscle strength, speed and physical reaction ability were far beyond ordinary people. In the third grade, he was the best in the school running competition, and no one could beat him, including the sixth graders. In addition, he also performed well in table tennis and became the top player in the school. In the fourth grade, he started to play football and quickly showed his amazing talent. With his tall body, quick reaction, excellent speed and endurance, and strong explosive power, he was like a fish in water on the football field and deeply loved this sport. From elementary school to high school, Rosen has been the main striker of the class football team. Although he was often teased by his classmates because of his abundant body hair, he was no longer as sensitive as he was in childhood and prone to conflicts with others. The explanation of the biology teacher made him realize that his extraordinary physical fitness may be related to genetic regression, which is a natural phenomenon and should not be regarded as an outlier. This explanation also helped his classmates eliminate discrimination against him, and some even began to envy his physical condition. Rosen''s love for sports became deeper and deeper, especially in the field of football, where he gained wide recognition and praise. His reputation even spread beyond the campus, and he occasionally received invitations from amateur teams to participate in competitions. This summer, he was invited to participate in a friendly match between a local winery and a corporate team from another county, and performed well in the match, becoming the youngest but most eye-catching player on the field. After the game, a person who claimed to be a part-time scout in China for several European professional football clubs praised Rosen, believing that he was a rare football genius, and suggested that he go abroad to play football, promising to introduce him to one of the clubs where he worked part-time. Although the road to becoming a professional player is full of unknowns, it is undoubtedly an attractive choice for a 16-year-old boy from a single-parent family who has poor academic performance but is eager to succeed. After listening to the scout''s advice, Rosen''s mother, although she had doubts, decided to support her son''s decision, considering that her son''s academic prospects were unclear and football might open up a new path for him. However, they failed to see through the scout''s true face, who was actually a liar. Under the trickery of the swindler and the forged documents, Rosen''s mother took out her savings of ten years and borrowed money from friends to raise a total of 50,000 yuan for Rosen''s overseas expenses. However, when the two arrived in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, the swindler disappeared with an excuse and took away all the money. The mother and son, who were in a foreign country, did not speak the language and lacked experience, fell into a dilemma and could only rely on begging to survive. Fortunately, the kind-hearted Chinese restaurant owner Song Zhicheng found them, took them to Chinatown, and worked in the restaurant to make a living. After learning about Rosen''s experience, Song Zhicheng, an Ajax fan, decided to take him to the youth training camp of Ajax in the Dutch Eredivisie for a trial. Although Rosen was confident in his football talent and thought that joining the Ajax youth training camp should not be a problem, the trial process dealt him a huge blow. Due to the lack of youth training experience in professional teams, he was arranged to participate in the training match with the U11 team. Although he had an advantage in size, he was disorganized in the actual game, could hardly touch the ball, and was easily broken through by the opposing defender. This experience made him deeply realize the "gap between amateur and professional". Chapter004 During this trial experience, Rosen deeply realized the significant gap between amateur players at the county level in China and youth players of the Dutch giants, as well as the essential difference between amateur and professional. During the trial at Ajax, Rosen failed to perform as expected and was eliminated after only half a training match. Despite his outstanding physical fitness, due to lack of professional training and being over 16 years old, Ajax''s youth training coach did not see his development potential. It is obviously unrealistic to join the U7 team and start from scratch. This is not only unacceptable to Rosen himself, but also does not meet Ajax''s expectations. In view of this, Song Zhicheng decided to lead Rosen to the amateur team in Amsterdam for trial training. However, even in the amateur field, there is a clear gap compared to players participating in regular amateur leagues in the Netherlands. Song Zhicheng led Rosen to try out with six or seven amateur teams, and finally, relying on his personal relationship with Van der No, he successfully joined the Purmes football team. Although the Dutch amateur league has a higher intensity and technical and tactical level than the friendly amateur matches that Rosen participated in at home, Rosen did not adapt immediately. In the more than two months since joining Pulmes, he has played in four or five games but failed to score or assist. This performance is obviously not satisfactory. However, Rosen was not discouraged. In a recent game, he finally scored his first goal in Pulmes, helping the team lead the opponent Helleburg 1-0. This goal not only made Rosen relieved, but also won the respect of his teammates and opponents. The defenders of Helleburg began to pay attention to him, which made it difficult for him to get better shooting opportunities in subsequent games. Despite this, Rosen still learned valuable experience from it and realized that the improvement of shooting skills is only the basis for improving shooting accuracy, and scoring also needs to consider the interference ability of the opponent''s defensive players. In the match between Pulmes and Helleburg, Henik took advantage of the Helleburg defender''s lax defense against Rosen and successfully counterattacked to score a goal, helping the team to finally beat the opponent 2-0. After the game, Rosen received the upgrade information and rewards prompted by the system, which encouraged him. At the same time, he also received encouragement and recognition from captain Jonathan and other teammates. After the game, Rosen received a salary of 120 euros from the coach as a part-time player. This is the highest income he has ever earned since he started playing football, although it is still low compared to the cost of living in the capital of the Netherlands, a developed country in Europe. But for Rosen, this is already a high income like pie in the sky. After all, he once became a homeless beggar. After receiving the salary, Rosen said goodbye to his coach and teammates and returned to the restaurant where he worked. As a part-time player, he trained with the team and participated in competitions in his spare time, and his main job was to work in a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown. This experience not only made Rosen deeply understand the hardships and challenges of professional football, but also made him cherish every opportunity to play and every penny of income. It was the generosity of the Chinese restaurant owner Song Zhicheng that provided Rosen with a valuable job opportunity and enthusiastically recommended him to the coach of the Pulmes team, Van Deno. Otherwise, Rosen might face the dilemma of wandering and begging or even being deported back to his country. After the game, Rosen used the transparent system interface to check the system information while walking. After today''s game, Rosen''s system level was upgraded to level 1, the experience value reached 120/200, and the attribute point balance increased to 12 points. Then, he opened the level gift package and successfully triggered the lottery wheel. This time, the lottery opportunity was random and skills could not be specified. If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it. Rosen stared at the skill options on the wheel, silently praying that he could draw a skill suitable for the striker position and apply it immediately. After clicking the red button, the turntable began to rotate, and after a few seconds it slowly stopped, with the pointer pointing to the "off-ball running" skill. The system prompt sounded immediately: "Congratulations to the host for unlocking the off-ball running skill, and you can use attribute points to add points." Faced with this unfamiliar skill name, Rosen was a little confused for a while. In the football world of 2007, the concept of off-ball running had not yet been popularized worldwide. Although professional coaches, sports journalists and veteran fans in Europe may have begun to pay attention to and study this skill in depth because of the player Inzaghi, ordinary fans know little about it. For Rosen, a young man from a rural area in China with poor information and an average family background, off-ball running is a completely new and unfamiliar concept. He didn''t even know whether this was a striker''s skill and what its specific role was. Therefore, after checking the skill interface and finding that the off-ball running value was 7, he was not in a hurry to add points. In order to understand the practical application of this skill, Rosen decided to ask his boss Song Zhicheng to decide whether to use attribute points to add points. After walking two kilometers along the road outside the football field, Rosen returned to the restaurant in Chinatown and entered from the back door. Most of the staff in the restaurant''s kitchen are Chinese, and they are very caring towards Rosen. Seeing him return, everyone greeted him and asked about the game. Rosen smiled and responded: "Thank you for your concern. Today I finally scored the first goal, and the team also defeated Helleburg 2-0." In fact, everyone is more concerned about whether Rosen scored a goal, rather than the victory or defeat of the Pulmes team. Hearing the news that Rosen finally scored a goal, everyone was happy for him. "Great, finally scored a goal!" "This shows that Komori can gain a foothold in the Netherlands!" "Although it is an amateur league, it is also a formal game, not a friendly match." "Come on, Xiaosen, you will definitely become a big star in the future!" After thanking everyone for their congratulations, Rosen went to the bathroom to take a shower, put his jersey in the washing machine, changed into a waiter uniform, and went to the second floor boss Song Zhicheng''s office and knocked on the door. "Dong Dong Dong..." "Come in!" Song Zhicheng''s voice came from inside. Rosen pushed the door open and entered. Seeing the boss sitting behind the desk, he called him "Uncle Cheng". Song Zhicheng was over 40 years old, so it was reasonable for Rosen to call him uncle. Seeing Rosen walk in with a smile on his face, Song Zhicheng curiously said, "Is the game over? Goal?" You know, when Rosen usually performs poorly, he will change clothes and start working directly after the game, and will not take the initiative to report to the office. Rosen scratched his head, nodded and smiled, "Yeah." Hearing that Rosen really scored a goal, Song Zhicheng was very happy. He stood up from behind the desk, asked Rosen to sit on the sofa, and sat opposite him. Afterwards, Song Zhicheng asked about today''s game and the process of scoring. Rosen briefly described the game. Of course, he did not mention the football wizard system he had obtained, but just said that he was lucky and instinctively raised his foot to shoot and score when he saw the ball flying. Hearing that Rosen finally scored his first goal in the Dutch amateur league, he was very happy and praised Rosen a few words. However, Song Zhicheng also reminded Rosen that the level of the fourth league was low, and hoped that he would continue to work hard and strive for the opportunity to participate in the professional league in the future. Even the third league is much higher than the amateur fourth league. Rosen is confident in his career prospects, but he did not reveal it to Song Zhicheng. However, he still remembered the new skills he had just acquired. So, Rosen pretended to ask casually: "By the way, Uncle Cheng, I accidentally heard my teammates mention a word, ''running without the ball'', what does it mean?" Song Zhicheng smiled and said: "Running without the ball? It means literally, running without the ball." Rosen nodded and continued to ask: "What is the use of this ability? What''s special about it?" Song Zhicheng thought for a while and asked: "Have you heard of Inzaghi of AC Milan?" Rosen nodded: "Yes, in the Champions League final last season, Inzaghi scored twice to help AC Milan defeat Liverpool and win the championship. His goal efficiency is very high." Song Zhicheng nodded: "Then do you know how the media and fans evaluate him?" Rosen replied: "Yes, many people say that he is a speculator and opportunist on the offside line." Song Zhicheng shook his head and smiled: "This is an old saying. Now a considerable number of coaches, sports reporters and senior fans prefer to call Inzaghi a master of running without the ball." Rosen said a little embarrassedly: "I don''t quite understand what this means." Song Zhicheng began to explain the role of running without the ball in detail. With Song Zhicheng''s patient explanation, Rosen finally understood the meaning of the skill of running without the ball. In short, the ability of a striker to run without the ball is the ability to find a gap in the opponent''s back line and achieve a fatal effect. The reason why Inzaghi can achieve super high goal efficiency and today''s achievements, although his physical and technical skills are not very good, is mainly due to his excellent ability to run without the ball. Inzaghi is one of the most representative figures of running without the ball. Of course, there is also the king of the small penalty area, Van Nistelrooy, who is also a super striker who is proficient in running without the ball. They can always find the gap in the opponent''s back line. If the teammates with the ball cooperate tacitly, understand each other, and can send a wonderful pass, they can easily score a goal without passing several people or shooting hard. This way of scoring goals was not valued in the early years. People preferred Ronaldo''s continuous dribbling and continuous passing to score goals. Now, Inzaghi''s off-ball running has attracted the attention of professionals. Therefore, Song Zhicheng predicts that as the defense of professional football teams becomes increasingly tight, the future football world will pay more and more attention to and require the off-ball running ability of forwards and even midfielders. Players with higher off-ball running ability will have stronger ability to find opportunities to break defense, and will naturally become more and more popular. Chapter005 After listening to Song Zhicheng''s detailed explanation, Rosen finally realized that the key to a striker''s off-ball running ability is to find shooting opportunities, and his off-ball running attribute value is only 7, which makes it difficult for him to find opportunities to receive the ball and shoot after the opponent strengthens defense in the second half. Rosen thought, if he can increase the off-ball running attribute value to a higher level, will it be easier to create gaps and get shooting opportunities? After all, his shooting attribute value is full, as long as he gets enough opportunities, scoring is a matter of course. After leaving Song Zhicheng''s office, Rosen used the break time to enter the system and added all 12 attribute points to off-ball running. This move increased Rosen''s off-ball running attribute value from 7 to 19, which is close to the full value. At the same time, Rosen''s attribute points have all been used up. After the point addition operation is completed, Rosen''s personal information and skill information are updated as follows: Name: Rosen Nationality: China Age: 16 years old Height: 182cm Weight: 80kg Level: 1 Experience: 120/200 Attribute points: 0 Club: Pulmes (Netherlands) Shooting: 20 Off-ball movement: 19 In addition, the level gift package in Rosen''s package has been updated to level 2, and it can only be opened after the level is upgraded to level 2. Looking at his shooting and off-ball movement attribute values, Rosen is full of expectations and eager for the upcoming weekend game to come as soon as possible. He is eager to verify whether his off-ball movement ability, which is close to full value, can play a role in actual combat, help himself achieve better performance and score more goals. In the next few days, Rosen worked diligently in the restaurant and participated in team training on two mornings. Amateur teams are naturally not comparable to professional clubs. Most of the players in the Pulmes team are part-time. Except for the weekend league, it is difficult to gather them during normal times, and even 7-a-side training matches are difficult to organize. Even if there are players on the field for training, they fight alone and mainly reserve physical strength. Therefore, Rosen''s changes did not attract the attention of others, and he himself could hardly feel the actual effect of running without the ball at 19 o''clock. In a blink of an eye, a week passed, and it was another Sunday. Pulmes challenged Bonigom away. The venue is located at a football field about 3 kilometers southwest of Chinatown, which is a moderate distance. As a Class D amateur team, Pulmes does not have a club bus, and the players need to go to the stadium from home or work to gather. Players with better economic conditions choose to take taxis, those with average economic conditions take buses, and those who are more economical walk. For Rosen, the 3-kilometer journey is not far, and he could have walked there. Enjoying the story? Show your support by reading it on the official site. However, since he was in the Netherlands and was playing away, he was not familiar with the road conditions, so he finally chose to take a taxi and memorize the route on the way so that he could walk on the way back to save money. After arriving at the stadium, the coach and most of the teammates had already arrived. Everyone changed their clothes and started warming up before the game. 10 minutes before the game started, all the players gathered together and head coach Van der No began to arrange tactics. The starting lineup did not change much compared with the last game, only one midfielder was replaced. Although Rosen scored a goal in the last game, Van der No did not give it too high an evaluation, thinking that it was just luck. After all, as a striker, Rosen only scored one goal in many games, which was not impressive. Van der No''s tactics were still to let Rosen feint and create space for Henik, with Henik as the end point of the attack. However, this time Van der No did not emphasize letting Rosen shoot easily, but hinted that he didn''t have to be polite when he had the opportunity, and he should shoot when he should shoot. At 15:00 in the afternoon, the match officially began with the referee''s whistle. Rosen strictly followed the coach''s tactical arrangement and tried his best to lead Bonigom''s defender out of the penalty area to leave a gap for Henik to shoot. However, this tactic did not work. Although the amateur league is not as good as the professional league in intelligence collection, the opponent still pays close attention to key players. Bonigom focused on defending Pulmes'' top scorer Henik. As for the 16-year-old Chinese player Rosen, there was nothing special about him in the eyes of the coach and players of Bonigom, and he was not worthy of much attention. Therefore, no matter how Rosen ran, he attracted very limited attention and failed to effectively reduce the defensive pressure faced by Henik. In the tenth minute of the game, Henik only had one chance to shoot, but unfortunately he failed to hit the target. At the same time, Bonigom also failed to score, and the two sides remained in a 0-0 deadlock. However, in the thirteenth minute of the game, there was a turning point on the field. The central defender of Pulmes fouled the striker of Pulmes in the penalty area, and the referee decisively awarded a penalty kick. The opponent seized the opportunity and scored in one fell swoop, changing the score to 1-0. Dozens of Bonigom fans on the sidelines cheered, while the Pulmes players seemed depressed. At this time, Rosen''s eyes were focused on the penalty area of ??the Bonigom team, with a thoughtful light flashing in his eyes. In the past ten minutes, although he was carrying out the task of creating an opening for Henik, he found that he always ran into the empty position unconsciously, as if driven by instinct and difficult to control. Although no teammates passed the ball at that time, Rosen analyzed himself and believed that if the ball fell to his feet, he would have a chance to shoot, and it would be difficult for the opponent to interfere because the distance was too far. Rosen deeply realized the importance of off-ball running skills and decided to take the initiative to ask his teammates for the ball in the next game. Just as the Bonigom team celebrated the goal and Rosen was about to adjust the tactics, a middle-aged man in his forties, car salesman Kenneth, passed by the football field. Hearing the cheers in the field, he had just negotiated a deal and had no intention of stopping, but on second thought, he simply stopped to watch the football game. So Kenneth walked into the stadium and sat down on a step in a corner to watch the game. As the game restarted, Rosen''s performance in off-ball running became more and more outstanding, and he frequently ran into gaps. Considering that the opponent was only a Dutch amateur fourth-tier league team, Rosen easily found gaps with his 19-point off-ball running ability. This skill is at the top level worldwide. Less than three minutes after the game restarted, Rosen ran into a gap in the ribs of the penalty area and signaled to his teammate Lanier who had the ball: "This way!" Lanier hesitated for a moment, thinking about whether to pass the ball to Rosen or Henik, but it was precisely these two seconds of hesitation that Rosen''s gap was fleeting and was intercepted by the defender. Rosen sighed helplessly and continued to look for new running opportunities. At present, he has not won the full trust of his teammates and can only proceed step by step. Pulmes'' attack failed to pose a threat and ended with another midfielder''s long shot going wide. However, with his 19-point off-ball running ability, Rosen will still have plenty of opportunities to run out of space when facing an amateur team like Bonigom that lacks tactical discipline. Soon, Rosen had another good opportunity. In the 21st minute, the two sides fought fiercely near the center circle, and four players were in a melee. Suddenly, the football was kicked out of the crowd and rolled towards Pulmes forward Dominic. Rosen reacted quickly, turned around and sprinted towards the Bonigom penalty area, shouting loudly while rushing: "Dominic, this way!" Although there were still doubts about Rosen, he was about to form an offside at this time, and his chance was obviously better than Henik who was marked by two people. Therefore, Dominic decisively passed the ball, facing the rolling ball, and made a long pass over the top. The ball flew into the air, flew over the head of the Bonigom midfielder, and fell to the front of the penalty area. At the moment when Dominik passed the ball, Rosen just surpassed the defense line of Bonigom and rushed to the point where the ball landed. The linesman did not raise the flag to indicate offside, which was a successful anti-offside tactical execution. Chapter006 In the corner of the stadium stands, Kenneth looked down at Rosen''s reaction in this "anti-offside" performance, nodded slightly, and secretly commented in his heart: "Quick reaction, next it depends on whether he can successfully shoot the ball into the goal." Rosen received Dominic''s precise long pass at the front of the penalty area. Unfortunately, Rosen''s ball-stopping technique obviously failed to meet expectations. At the landing point of the ball, he tried to stop the ball with his foot, but failed to unload the ball. Instead, the ball rolled two meters away, approaching the edge of the penalty area. Seeing this, Kenneth shook his head slightly, and other home fans on the sidelines also laughed and commented on Rosen''s ball-stopping technique. At the same time, Bonigom''s No. 6 defender, who was following Rosen closely, keenly captured this opportunity and quickly exerted force, intending to bypass Rosen and clear the ball first. However, Rosen did not leave any chance for his opponent. He knew that his ball-stopping skills needed to be improved. Therefore, when the ball failed to stop, he rushed forward without hesitation and successfully blocked the No. 6 defender on the outside. Although his technical foundation was relatively weak, Rosen was no less outstanding than European adult athletes with his excellent physical fitness. Although the No. 6 defender tried his best to squeeze Rosen away, he failed to do so. While enduring the collision of the No. 6 defender, Rosen keenly observed the attacking goalkeeper, rushed to the edge of the penalty area, and shot decisively. The goalkeeper opened his arms, half-crouched, and tried his best to expand the defense range. However, because his feet were too wide, he failed to successfully block Rosen''s shot. With precise shooting skills, Rosen shot the ball into the gap between the goalkeeper''s legs. The goalkeeper was shocked and tried to hold the ball with his hips, but failed. The football passed through his legs like a sharp arrow and shot into the goal in an instant. Rosen equalized the score for Pulmes, and the two sides tied 1-1. After scoring, he punched to celebrate, and then turned around to hug or high-five his teammates Lanier, Henik and others who rushed over. His teammates patted Rosen on the shoulder or touched his head, praising his goal performance. In the stands, Kenneth also believed that Rosen''s goal had a certain amount of luck. In a higher-level league, if the goalkeeper attacked earlier and more decisively, Rosen''s chance after the mistake in stopping the ball would probably be confiscated by the goalkeeper. Stolen story; please report. However, for the goalkeeper level of the Class D amateur league, Rosen''s performance in this shot is indeed worthy of recognition. Although there is a lot of luck in a single goal, Kenneth still expressed a certain recognition of Rosen''s shooting skills. However, he still needs to continue to observe Rosen''s performance to make a more accurate judgment. After scoring the goal, Rosen naturally became the focus of the Bonigom players. However, for this amateur team, Rosen''s ability to run without the ball is too good. Almost every two or three minutes, he can run out of a great opportunity in the gap. Unfortunately, due to the lack of insight into the gap and limited passing skills of the midfielders of the Pulmes team, even successful passes often deviate. When Rosen stopped to adjust the ball, the offensive opportunity was gone in a flash. In the rest of the first half, although Rosen had two shooting attempts, they both seemed quite reluctant. One was successfully cleared by the defender, and the other was confiscated by the goalkeeper because of the weak shot. The first half ended with a score of 1-1. At halftime, Rosen was praised by coach Van der No. Scoring in two consecutive games is already quite good. As an amateur coach, Van der No has a keener observation than the players on the field. He clearly saw Rosen''s ability to run without the ball and find gaps in the first 45 minutes. Van der No. was puzzled by Rosen''s failure to show this ability before, and perhaps it could be explained as an epiphany or enlightenment, just as he had not scored in the previous two months, but now scored in two consecutive games. In view of Rosen''s ability, Van der No. decided to make full use of him in the second half of the game. Therefore, he adjusted the tactics, requiring the players to pay attention to Rosen''s running position and pass the ball to him more at the right time, especially when there is a gap. He emphasized that the timing of passing the ball on the football field is crucial, and you should not wait for the player to run completely to the gap before passing the ball. This adjustment means that the players need to pass the ball decisively when the gap appears, and Rosen needs to quickly detect and seize the opportunity. At the same time, given that Henik was closely guarded by the opponent, Van der No arranged for him to cover for Rosen in the second half and help him create gaps. This tactical adjustment made it clear that Rosen was the core of the attack, and other players were responsible for covering and passing. Although some players expressed doubts about Rosen, who was only 16 years old, being the core of the attack, these doubts were not expressed publicly given his performance of scoring in two consecutive games. Veteran fan Kenneth also praised Rosen''s ability. Although his first goal may have been a lucky factor, Kenneth believed that Rosen showed extraordinary ability in running without the ball. This ability is particularly rare in amateur D-level games, so he decided to stay and watch Rosen''s performance in the second half. In the second half of the game, Purmes took advantage of Bonigom''s contempt for Rosen and successfully played a beautiful attack. In the 48th minute, Purmes launched an attack from the right side, and after several passes, the ball fell to the feet of front midfielder Lanier. At this time, Henik rushed into the penalty area and Lanier passed the ball in time. However, due to the focus on defense, Henik failed to touch the ball and the ball was tackled by the central defender of the Bonigom team. But Henik had already noticed Rosen on the left, and he decisively swept the ball to the middle. Rosen quickly ran into the penalty area, pushed the ball, and easily hit the ball into the lower left corner, helping the Purmes team to overtake the score 2-1. After the goal, Rosen excitedly rushed to Henik to express his gratitude, and Henik also responded happily. Other players also gathered around to celebrate. In contrast, the players of the Bonigom team seemed more frustrated. Vanderno on the sidelines also excitedly clenched his fists and shouted to celebrate the goal. Chapter007 This goal fully demonstrated the accuracy and effectiveness of his tactical deployment and marked a tactical victory. Seeing the players score goals and overtake the score according to his tactical guidance, Van der No''s excitement was beyond words. In the corner of the audience, Kenneth couldn''t help but applaud Rosen and his wonderful goal. Kenneth observed that Rosen showed top-level off-ball running. Even in the small space in the penalty area, he can keenly capture the fleeting gap and use it effectively, which is really commendable. This goal highlights Rosen''s outstanding ability in off-ball running. At the same time, Rosen''s shooting technique is also quite stable, without hesitation or deviation, and accurately shoots the ball into the goal. Why does a player with such ability only participate in the Class D amateur league? At least he should be able to stand out in professional leagues above the Class C level. Kenneth was confused by this. However, he knew that Rosen was an undiscovered treasure and should not be limited to the Class D amateur league. After Rosen and others finished celebrating, the game continued. The players of Bonigom no longer dared to underestimate Rosen. After all, he had scored twice. If they underestimated him, they would pay a heavy price. After that, Rosen had difficulty getting a chance to shoot. Although he could still find a gap, he could not change the situation by himself, and his teammates needed to pass the ball accurately. Rosen was amateur in dribbling and breaking through, and it was even more difficult for him to get a chance to shoot under the opponent''s focus. Kenneth also found that Rosen had shortcomings in passing, dribbling and teamwork. Except for running without the ball and shooting skills, his performance in other aspects was mediocre. As for Rosen''s current specific ability, Kenneth could not judge. He would continue to observe and decide whether to recommend Rosen to his brother who is a scout for a Dutch Eredivisie team. The game on the field is still going on. Rosen did not score again with his excellent off-ball running ability, but he successfully tied down Bonigom''s defense. This move relieved the defensive pressure on Henik and created more offensive opportunities for him. However, Henik failed to score in two shots. In the second half, Bonigom did not concede any more goals except for a goal scored by Rosen at the beginning. But they also found it difficult to launch an effective attack and were almost suppressed by Pulmes. Although Pulmes had many shooting opportunities, the players failed to seize them. As the game time passed, Bonigom players became increasingly impatient. Not only did they fall behind in the score, but they were also reversed after taking the lead. Although they mainly defended in the second half, Bonigom players were still eager to attack, score, or at least equalize the score. As the end of the game approached, this mentality became stronger. As the end of the game approached, the frontcourt players of Purmes, except Rosen, gradually relaxed. Even if the leading side ended the game 2-1, it would be a good result. A reversal away victory was enough to make the players excited for a week. However, Rosen''s efforts alone could not change the situation. Without the cooperation of his teammates, he could not dribble the ball through the defense and score a goal alone. Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit. Purmes players wanted to end the game 2-1, but Bonigom players were unwilling to accept this result. Seeing that Purmes'' attack weakened, Bonigom began to counterattack. In the 87th minute, they made a wonderful attack, but the shot hit the post and bounced out. Van der No was very angry about this and loudly reprimanded the players who lost their defensive position. Captain Jonathan also encouraged his teammates to cheer up, and the game was not over yet. Under the dual encouragement of the coach and the captain, the players cheered up again. Bonigom used the remaining time to attack continuously and tried to equalize the score. The two sides fought fiercely in the midfield and fell into chaos for a while. The referee showed two consecutive yellow cards to prevent the situation from getting worse. The players of Pulmes, who were originally planning to relax their attack, were inspired by the opponent''s fight. They hoped to score another goal in the final stage of the game and win 3-1. Therefore, even in the stoppage time, Pulmes did not delay time, but actively attacked. Finally, in the 92nd minute, Pulmes successfully launched an attack. Donimic attacked from the wing and passed the ball to Henik who cut into the penalty area. Henik had no space to shoot, so he passed the ball back to Lanier outside the penalty area. Lanier met the ball and shot a powerful long shot. The ball flew across the penalty area like a cannonball and flew to the left side of the goal. The goalkeeper jumped into the air and stretched his arms as much as possible to block it. The players on the field and the audience on the field held their breath and stared, waiting for the final result, but Rosen continued to run and work hard. After seeing Lanier shoot, Rosen did not stop, but continued to rush to the left side of the penalty area. With his excellent off-ball running ability, he almost instinctively ran in that direction. Later, Rosen observed that the goalkeeper''s fingers touched the ball flying towards the goal, causing the ball to deviate slightly from its trajectory, eventually hitting the post and bouncing back into the penalty area, just in front of Rosen. Without anyone reacting, Rosen quickly adjusted his posture and lifted the ball that bounced back again with a light footwork, completing a lob shot, and the ball passed over the fallen goalkeeper''s body and fell into the goal. Seeing the ball enter the net, Rosen felt a little confused for a moment, and a question flashed through his mind: "Have I completed a hat trick?" Just as he was about to turn around to celebrate, he was pulled by Pulmes'' teammates. "Wow..." "Hat trick!!!!!!!!!!!!" "Great!" "Take a treat!" Lanier, Henik, Dominic, Jonathan and all other teammates rushed forward, surrounded Rosen tightly, and shouted excitedly to celebrate. Vanderno and several substitutes of Pulmes also cheered loudly on the sidelines, celebrating the goal, victory and Rosen''s hat trick. The players of Bonigom sighed, and many of them sat on the ground helplessly due to the double blow of body and mind. Seeing this, the referee raised his hand to check his watch and decided not to add extra time. He first announced that the goal was valid, and then immediately blew the whistle to end the game. Vanderno and the substitutes rushed into the stadium to celebrate with the players on the field. Pulmes reversed the game with a 3-1 victory with Rosen''s hat trick in the unfavorable situation of losing a goal first, and successfully won this away victory. In the stands, car salesman Kenneth jumped up excitedly after witnessing Rosen''s hat trick, first clapping and shouting "good shot", and then immediately took out his mobile phone and called his brother Philip. Kenneth: "Hey, Philip, are you busy now?" Philip: "No, what''s up?" Kenneth: "Do you know what I''m doing?" Philip: "How should I know?" Kenneth: "Haha, I just finished watching a football game. I found a very promising player, you will definitely be interested." Philip: "Oh? What game, which team?" Kenneth: "The fourth-level amateur league, Pulmes." Philip: "Well, players of this level may not be of much value?" Kenneth: "I know you may think so, but I can tell you that this player is really promising and you shouldn''t miss it." "I watched most of the game. He just completed a hat trick and helped Pulmes reverse and beat Bonigom 3-1." "His off-ball running ability and shooting skills are very good. Although his other abilities are relatively amateur, I estimate that he is less than 18 years old and still has a lot of room for improvement. And his physical fitness is also very good, you shouldn''t miss this opportunity." Philip: "Are you sure he can make a step from the fourth-level amateur league to the Eredivisie?" Kenneth: "I''m not sure, after all, I''m not a professional. I called you because I hope you can come and observe it yourself." "I think, even if he is not competent for the Eredivisie now, you can consider training him in the youth team for two years and then promote him to the first team." "After all, his off-ball running and shooting skills are so good, I believe he must have a place in the Eredivisie." Philip: "Is he really that good? Well, help me find out about their next game and tell me, I will go to the scene to observe him." Kenneth: "Okay! Goodbye!" Philip: "Goodbye!" Chapter008 Rosen did not realize that he had attracted the attention of the Dutch scouts, and he was still immersed in the joy of completing a hat trick. The performance of the football elf system is indeed amazing. In the first game after being possessed, he helped him score his first goal, and in the second game, he even scored a hat trick. Looking forward to the future, if all skill attributes are fully valued, Rosen may be able to score dozens of goals in a single game. However, this is just a fantasy, after all, he is currently only participating in amateur games. However, Rosen''s future stage must be the top league, where he will face stronger opponents rather than the weak teams in the Dutch amateur fourth division. After the celebration, Rosen received 120 euros for 3 goals, 40 euros for appearance fees and 40 euros for winning, a total of 200 euros. Although his teammates joked that he should treat them, everyone knew that his bonus was not enough to pay. After the bonus was distributed, everyone dispersed. On the way home, Rosen opened the system interface to check. After winning this game, he received 120 experience points for scoring 3 goals and 80 experience points for winning, a total of 200 experience points, which raised his level experience to level 2 120/300, and he received 10 attribute points as a reward. He clicked and opened the "Level Package (Level 2)" and unlocked the third skill through the skill wheel. However, this time he was unlucky. He originally expected to unlock forward skills such as headers, long shots, free kicks, dribbling, breakthroughs, and passes, but in the end he unlocked the tackle skill, which was not very helpful for him as a forward. Rosen checked the attribute value of the tackle skill, which was only 3 points, which seemed quite weak. Originally, he was worried that he would not have enough attribute points after unlocking useful skills, but now it seems that there is no need to worry. He did not hesitate to use 5 attribute points to increase the off-ball running from 19 points to the full value of 20 points to prepare for the next game. After adding points, Rosen''s personal profile is shown as follows. Nationality: China Age: 16 Height: 182cm Weight: 80kg Level: 2 Experience: 120/300 Attribute points: 5 Club: Pulmes (Netherlands) Shooting: 20 Off-ball movement: 20 Tackles: 3 After returning to the restaurant, Song Zhicheng was very happy to hear that Rosen had scored a hat trick, and decided to watch the next game in person. He wanted to cheer for Rosen and also wanted to know how he went from no goals to 4 goals in two games in two months. In addition, many Chinese in Chinatown also heard about Rosen''s hat trick this week and became interested in his performance. In the end, Song Zhicheng invited more than a dozen compatriots in Chinatown to go to the stadium to cheer for Rosen. December 23, the last Sunday before Christmas, was also Pulmes'' last game of the year, at home against Vlising Club. After this game, everyone will have a holiday for Christmas, and the next game will have to wait until next year. This period of vacation is called the winter break. Pulmes has won consecutive games recently, and its popularity among fans has soared. The number of home spectators this time has increased compared to the last time. This does not include the Chinese spectators who cheered for Rosen. In this low-level amateur game, they did not hang banners or national flags, but cheered for Rosen on the sidelines. Rosen was deeply moved by the support of his compatriots. This was the first time he received support from fans. Although it was only for the sake of his compatriots, it was much better than the boos and insults in the previous games. He secretly made up his mind: "I must score a goal today and I can''t let Uncle Cheng and those who support me down." The full value of shooting and running without the ball made Rosen full of confidence. However, 5 minutes before the start of the game, the electronic sound of the system suddenly came to his mind, reminding him that he had a new task. He wondered in his heart: "Strange, why is the task released at this time? Is there anything special about today''s game?" While thinking, he opened the system task interface, and saw that it said: "Task 2: Conquer the Eredivisie scout. Task requirements: Conquer the Eredivisie scout in the stands in the game against Vlising and get his trial invitation. Task reward: 1000 experience points." The author''s tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. After seeing this task, Rosen was stunned for a moment, and then ecstatic. He originally thought that he would stay in Pulmes until the end of the season, but he didn''t expect that after the system was possessed, he attracted the attention of the Eredivisie scouts after only two games. He guessed that this was related to the hat trick in the last game. After all, in amateur games, especially low-level D-level games, it is not easy to attract the attention of Eredivisie scouts. Only by performing well in the game, such as performing a hat trick, can you arouse the interest of the opponent. Rosen decided that today he would not only score goals, but also try his best to score as many as he could. Today is not the time to show politeness or mercy. Facing the attention of the Dutch scouts, Rosen must show the most convincing competitive state, strive to win the recognition of the other party in one fell swoop, and thus rewrite his own destiny. Rosen, who has the assistance of the system, dreams of entering the professional Dutch league. He does not want to waste his time in the amateur league, nor does he want to work part-time as a waiter in a restaurant after playing football. If he can successfully conquer the Dutch Eredivisie scouts, get their invitation, and then try out with the Dutch Eredivisie team and eventually stay with the team, Rosen''s life trajectory will change dramatically. Rosen, full of expectations, looked up at the stands and began to search for the target. He could naturally skip the area where the Chinese compatriots were, and he had seen many of the other spectators and had some impressions. Even if he had no impression of some people, by observing their clothes and appearance, he could roughly judge that they were unlikely to be scouts for the Eredivisie. There was only one man in his 30s, who was dressed like a fan, but had a camera on his chest and a notebook in his hand. Rosen could almost conclude that this man was the Eredivisie scout prompted by the system. As for which club he came from, Rosen didn''t know, but if it was Ajax, it would be great. Although Rosen was defeated by the young players of Ajax U11 youth team, this just proved the excellence of Ajax''s youth training system. If he could join Ajax, it would undoubtedly be a huge leap in Rosen''s career. Of course, no matter whether the scout is from Ajax or not, even if he is a scout from a relegation team, Rosen dare not slack off and must go all out. Once this opportunity is missed, you can only wait until next year. At 15:00 in the afternoon, with the referee''s whistle, the match between Pulmes and Vlising officially kicked off. As the player who performed a hat trick in the last game, Rosen has undoubtedly become the offensive core of Pulmes. Van der No asked the whole team to create offensive opportunities for Rosen. Compared with the professional league, the intelligence collection work of the amateur league is naturally not comprehensive enough. Although the coach and players of Vlising heard that Rosen performed a hat trick in the last round, they did not send anyone to watch the game on the spot, and there was no video to replay, so they had no idea how Rosen performed a hat trick, and only thought it was luck. A 16-year-old boy from China, an Asian country with relatively backward football level, his talent is inevitably questionable. In addition, Rosen had not scored for two months before, so the players of Vlising were more convinced that Rosen''s recent goal was a matter of luck. Therefore, at the beginning of the game, Vlising''s defense against Rosen was not tight and seemed a little careless, and it was their negligence that caused Vlising to fall behind at the beginning. Before the game, Van der Noe told the players to take advantage of the opponent''s unfamiliarity with Rosen and launch an offensive at the beginning. In the 3rd minute of the game, Rosen found a gap, but the pass from the left forward Harold was deviated and Rosen failed to receive the ball, so it did not pose a threat to the Vlising defense line. However, in the 6th minute, in order to avoid offside, Henik withdrew from the penalty area and took away a defender, and a short gap appeared on the right side of the penalty area, which was keenly captured by Rosen. So Rosen immediately cut diagonally from the top of the penalty area to the penalty area and sprinted to the right side. At the same time, Lanier, the front midfielder holding the ball, also found this gap. Lanier passed the ball lightly outside the penalty area and sent it accurately to the right side of the penalty area. Rosen arrived in time and shot the ball before the No. 5 center back of the Vlising team could make a tackle. The ball went straight to the goal. The goalkeeper was half squatting and had no time to react. The football passed by his feet and went straight to the near corner of the goal. After the ball flew into the goal, the No. 5 center back tackled Rosen to the ground, but it was too late to save the situation. Seeing Rosen score, Song Zhicheng and other Chinese cheering groups on the sidelines cheered. "Good shot!" "Xiao Mori is great!" "Awesome, Xiao Mori scored a goal just after the start of the game." "With this level, how could he not be included in the Ajax youth team?" "He didn''t score a goal in the past two months." "I guess it might be the language barrier and unfamiliar environment that affected his performance." "It''s possible." Everyone found excuses for Rosen''s previous poor performance. In addition to Song Zhicheng and others, other local white fans also applauded and talked. "It''s amazing. Sen scored in three consecutive games." "Five goals in three games, amazing efficiency." "If Sen can maintain this state in the future, we are expected to be promoted to the third-tier league after the end of this season." "Very likely." "For some reason, he failed to score in so many games in the first two months." "I think it may be that the cooperation is not tacit. Look at the ball just now. Henik retreated to create a gap. Sen just started and Lanier passed the ball to the right place. As soon as the ball arrived, Sen also rushed to shoot directly without stopping the ball to adjust. The cooperation was smooth." "It seems that Sen still has a certain level, but he didn''t cooperate with his teammates before, so he didn''t score. Now he is gradually familiar with the team, and the cooperation is tacit, and the goals are coming one after another." The audience who criticized Rosen in the last home game also found reasons for Rosen''s previous goal drought and the current consecutive goals. Philip in the stands knew nothing about Rosen''s previous performance. He only believed what he saw with his own eyes. Before the goal, Rosen had several chances to touch the ball, but only as a transit station for passing and coordination, and his performance was slightly amateur, which made Philip not optimistic. But this goal completely changed Philip''s view of Rosen, and he quickly recorded it in his notebook. "Teamwork amateur, passing amateur, dribbling amateur, ball-stopping amateur, excellent off-ball running ability (to be confirmed), excellent shooting (to be confirmed)." Based on one goal, Philip did not dare to jump to conclusions, and further investigation was needed to confirm whether Rosen''s performance was just luck. On the field, after Rosen and his teammates celebrated, the game continued. The Vlising players are well aware of Rosen''s strength and no longer look down on him because of his age or race. But this does not mean that they can defend Rosen. In addition to the fact that Rosen''s off-ball running attribute in this game has increased to the full value of 20 points compared with the previous game, the trust of Purmes teammates in Rosen has also increased. Chapter009 In the second half of the last game, although head coach Van der No instructed the team to attack with Rosen as the core and create opportunities for Rosen, some players still showed a lack of confidence and believed that Rosen was not competent for this role. Therefore, in some cases, although there was space, the players failed to pass the ball in time or delayed the passing time, resulting in missed opportunities. However, Rosen successfully completed a hat trick at the end of the last game, which made his teammates full of confidence in his ability to seize opportunities. In addition, the goal was scored only 6 minutes after the start of this game, which further strengthened the confidence of his teammates. With Rosen''s increasingly improved ability to run without the ball and the active cooperation of the whole team, even if the Vlising team went all out, it was difficult to resist. In the 13th minute, Rosen successfully countered the offside and cleverly shot the ball into the far corner after receiving the pass from Henik. If it were not for the goalkeeper''s desperate save, Pulmes would have had the opportunity to expand the score to 2-0. However, Vlising''s defense did not last long. In the 21st minute, Dominic suddenly shot from outside the penalty area. The goalkeeper was unable to defend, but the ball hit the crossbar and bounced out into the penalty area. Just as other players were preparing to scramble, Rosen had quietly appeared in the small penalty area and easily pushed the ball into the net. Only 21 minutes into the game, Rosen scored twice with an outstanding performance, and Pulmes led Vlising 2-0. After the goal, Pulmes fans and Chinese audiences such as Song Zhicheng cheered. "Wonderful goal!" "A double goal!" "Rosen was so lucky, the ball just bounced in front of him." "Whether it''s luck or not, being able to score is the key." Although some fans think that Rosen''s goal was due to luck, similar to Inzaghi''s way of scoring, professional scout Philip did not think so. He saw Rosen''s excellent off-ball running ability and accurate shooting skills from this goal. Therefore, when the ball flew into the goal, Philip nodded and applauded with satisfaction, and then recorded the analysis of the goal in detail in his notebook. Rosen''s goal in this game was to impress Philip, and he paid close attention to Philip''s reaction after scoring. Seeing Philip applauding his goal, Rosen was inspired and realized that his outstanding performance had attracted the attention of the other party. However, he was not satisfied with this. He was eager to score more goals to ensure that everything was foolproof and completely conquer the scout from the Dutch Eredivisie club. After Rosen scored twice, his teammates were more determined to assist him. Although the players of Vlising tried their best to defend, they were helpless in the face of Rosen''s excellent off-ball running ability. After all, there was a big gap between the levels of the two teams, and the players of Vlising had a big gap with professional players in terms of tactical discipline and defensive ability. Rosen''s off-ball running ability is perfect, which is naturally invincible for a Dutch amateur fourth-tier league team. Although his teammates had some shortcomings in terms of insight into the gaps and passing skills, they were still able to pass good balls to Rosen occasionally. In the 40th minute, when the first half was about to end, Rosen found an open space in the penalty area of ??the Vlising team again, and Lanier passed the ball to him in time. Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website. Rosen did not stop the ball and shot directly. The ball flew through the penalty area like an arrow and flew into the goal. After the ball crossed the goal line, the goalkeeper came late and was powerless to save the situation. Before the end of the first half, Rosen completed a hat trick, and his performance was better than the previous game. Song Zhicheng and other Chinese audiences were excited and applauded and cheered to celebrate for Rosen. Local fans had long forgotten the history of Rosen not scoring for two months, and gave the 16-year-old Chinese boy applause and screams of admiration. As for Philip, he has decided to invite Rosen to his team for a trial. Although Rosen does have shortcomings in other technical aspects, his advantages in off-ball running and shooting skills are enough to make Philipp make up his mind. For a striker, as long as these two abilities are good enough, they are enough to gain a foothold in the professional league. With training and improvement of other skills, they are fully capable of gaining a foothold in the Dutch Eredivisie. Of course, Philipp still hopes that Rosen can show more advantages so that he can go back and convince the head coach to agree to Rosen''s trial. A few minutes later, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, and Pulmes entered the halftime break with a score of 3-0. During the halftime break, Van der Noor praised the performance of the whole team. Rosen, who completed the hat trick, was undoubtedly the main contributor, but the selfless assists of other players were also important factors for Rosen to complete the hat trick and the team to lead 3-0. Van der Noor affirmed the performance of the whole team and avoided excessive praise for Rosen personally, so as not to cause discord within the team. After 15 minutes of halftime, the two sides exchanged venues to continue the game. Perhaps because the opponent''s head coach made adjustments during the halftime break, the defense of Vlising against Rosen in the second half was tighter and tougher, and even resorted to foul tactics. The game in the first half was still within the normal range of physical confrontation and fighting, but after entering the second half, the players of Vlising began to show more rough movements. In the 52nd minute of the game, Rosen found an open space in front of the penalty area and prepared to receive Henik''s cross pass to shoot. At this time, the opponent''s No. 8 defender was unable to effectively stop his action, so he grabbed Rosen''s jersey from behind and tried to pull him down, even at the cost of a foul to prevent the goal. Rosen''s jersey was suddenly lifted up and almost torn, revealing his strong muscles. This scene attracted widespread attention and uproar on and off the field. The players and fans of the Pulmes team immediately shouted for a foul and demanded a red card, hoping that the referee would severely punish the No. 8 defender of the Vlising team. The referee had a serious expression and was ready to call a foul. However, although Rosen''s jersey was tightly grabbed, he did not lose his balance. With his strong physique, Rosen stabilized his center of gravity, pushed the ground hard and took a step forward, but instead made the No. 8 defender of Vlising who tried to drag him stagger and almost fall. At the same time, Rosen was ready to shoot, met Henik''s cross pass, and shot the ball to the lower right corner of the goal with a push shot. Because the goalkeeper predicted that Henik would shoot from the right and stood to the right, by the time he saw the cross pass and turned to the left to save Rosen''s shot, it was too late. Rosen chose a dead angle shot in the opposite direction of the goalkeeper''s movement. Although the goalkeeper stretched out his arms to intercept, he still couldn''t touch the ball. The ball rolled into the lower right corner of the goal close to the post, and was only about 50 cm away from the fingertips of the fallen goalkeeper. The goalkeeper was powerless to do anything about it. Rosen successfully scored the fourth goal of the game and completed the feat of scoring four goals in a row. The audience was boiling instantly. The players of the Vlising team were stunned and unbelievable. The players of the Purmes team excitedly rushed to Rosen and pressed him under their bodies to celebrate. The Purmes coach and substitute players on the sidelines hugged each other, while the coach and players of the Vlising team looked dejected. In the stands, the fans cheered and gave warm applause to Rosen''s four goals. It is not easy to perform four goals in an amateur league. Rosen''s performance won everyone''s admiration. Rosen''s four goals not only ignited the enthusiasm of ordinary fans, but also attracted the attention of Eredivisie scout Philip, who was surprised by Rosen''s four goals and the physical fitness he showed. Although Rosen is tall and strong, Philip was still worried at first that his body was just a facade. However, in this game, although the opponent''s defender pulled Rosen''s jersey hard, he failed to pull him down, but almost fell down himself, and Rosen successfully shot and scored, which fully proved that Rosen''s physical fitness was enough to compete with European players on the court. For a 16-year-old yellow man, such physical fitness and performance are particularly valuable. Rosen not only has the advantages of height and weight, but also shows excellent off-ball running ability and superb shooting skills, which can be called a natural striker. Philip was puzzled as to why Rosen was still playing in the amateur league in the fourth division in Pulmes, and thought it was unreasonable. Although professional scouts usually observe multiple games in a row to avoid accidents when scouting players, Philip thought Rosen''s performance was too good and there was no need to wait and observe. Rosen scored 7 goals in the first two games, a performance that even the forwards of the Dutch Eredivisie team could hardly match. Chapter010 This player with unlimited potential is undoubtedly worthy of attention and does not need further investigation. If scouts from other teams subsequently intervene in the competition for Rosen, it will have an adverse effect. However, the game is not over yet, and Philip''s eagerness cannot change the status quo, and he still needs to wait patiently. After Rosen completed the big four, he has become the focus of defense for all players of the Vlising team. His hat trick is extraordinary, and his performance of scoring four goals in a row has put all the players of the Vlising team in an embarrassing situation. Especially considering that the opponent is only 16 years old, the only player under the age of 20 on the field, and he is a yellow man, this performance is even more eye-catching. All the players of the Vlising team could not tolerate this and decided to strengthen the defense against Rosen. During the game, the Vlising team not only increased the number of collisions and tackles against Rosen, but also added defensive players. From the original one-man defense to two people, at the same time, other defenders also paid close attention to Rosen''s running position and passing lines. The whole team of Vlising was united in their efforts to stop Rosen from scoring. Rosen did not get a good chance to shoot in the next 20 minutes. Although Rosen''s physical fitness was not at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the opponent, the increase in the number of opponents inevitably reduced his offensive space. At the same time, the increase in the number of defenders also limited the possibility of other teammates passing the ball to Rosen. Not all teammates can pass accurate passes, especially these amateur players, who lack this ability. Although the Vlising team successfully restricted Rosen, the price paid for it was huge, resulting in a weakened defense against other Purmes players. In the 71st minute, Henik received a pass from his teammate and scored without being marked. Purmes led Vlising 5-0 and the game basically ended early. In view of this situation, Van der No arranged for the substitutes to warm up. He observed that the Vlising team was absent-minded in the game, only trying to contain Rosen, and the defense of other players was relatively lax. Henik''s goal did not cause emotional fluctuations in the Vlising team. Therefore, Van der Noo decided to replace Rosen, on the one hand to provide the substitute players with a chance to play, and on the other hand to protect Rosen from potential injuries. Van der Noo hoped that Rosen would stay healthy to lead the team to upgrade. However, when a substitute striker in his 40s stood on the sidelines ready to replace Rosen, Rosen got another chance to shoot in the 76th minute. This opportunity came from the counterattack of the Vlissing team being intercepted by Jonathan, and the ball was passed to Lanier. At the moment Jonathan passed the ball, Rosen turned and rushed to the Vlissing team''s half. Lanier passed the ball to the front court in time, and Rosen crossed the Vlissing back line and successfully countered offside again. Although Lanier''s pass was slightly too big, the Vlissing goalkeeper quickly attacked, intending to clear the ball before Rosen. Rosen and the goalkeeper started a speed contest. According to the situation on the field, although Rosen was closer to the ball, the ball was flying forward in the air, and the goalkeeper would usually touch the ball first. If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it. However, the actual situation was the opposite. Rosen passed through the Vlising half like lightning, sprinting at full speed and poking the ball before the goalkeeper. The goalkeeper had left the penalty area and could not use his hands, so he could only tackle the ball but did not touch the ball. Rosen jumped up flexibly to avoid the tackle, caught the ball before the chasing defender, and pushed the ball into the goal from the side of the penalty area. Rosen scored five goals in this game, creating a brilliant record of 5 goals in a single game. This performance was incredible. Looking back at the previous games, the fans were still dissatisfied with Rosen''s failure to score an empty goal. Although Rosen improved in the second half, no one expected him to perform a hat trick in the second game, let alone create a miracle of five goals in a single game in the third game. Now, facing Rosen''s five goals in a single game, no one mentioned his previous performance, only admiration and respect for him. At the Pulmes game, the audience gave warm applause and cheers to Rosen''s outstanding performance of scoring five goals in a single game, and expressed their opinions. "It''s unbelievable, five goals in a single game, Rosen''s performance is really too good." "I have never witnessed a player scoring five goals in a single game. This is indeed a rare experience." "Rosen''s goal efficiency is amazing, he can be called a striker killer." "Nine goals in three games, an average of three goals per game, and a hat trick in almost every game. This performance is really shocking." "Not only that, judging from Rosen''s recent goal trend, his number of goals is increasing. He scored three in the last game and five in this game. I can''t help but wonder if he can score seven in the next game." "Isn''t this unlikely?" "Why not?" "..." Ordinary spectators were surprised and amazed at Rosen''s performance, and Coach Philip''s eyes were even more fiery, as if he had found prey. Rosen''s performance in the first four goals has made Coach Philip determined to bring him in. And the sprint speed shown in the fifth goal made Coach Philip have a strong urge to sign him. For such an outstanding player, it is undoubtedly a waste of his talent to continue to stay in the Pulmes team to play in the D-level amateur league. Rosen should go to the top league and show his talent to the world through live TV broadcasts, instead of playing in this small stadium with only dozens of spectators. Moreover, many of these dozens of spectators are relatives and friends of the players on the field. It is a pity that Rosen''s talent is buried here. In the goal just now, Rosen had to compete with the opponent''s goalkeeper for the ball because his teammate passed the ball too far, so he showed his fastest speed. With the physical fitness brought by genetic atavism, Rosen''s speed is like lightning. He even touched the ball before the attacking goalkeeper when the football was flying forward. Coach Philip witnessed the whole process of Rosen''s turning, countering offside, and sprinting at full speed. He believes that Rosen''s speed is comparable to that of speed forwards in the top league. He is strong, fast, has strong off-ball running ability, superb shooting skills, and is also an amateur part-time player, without paying a high transfer fee. If such a player is not signed quickly, it will be a loss for the club. ¡­ Rosen, who celebrated the goal, was substituted. After celebrating with the coach and substitute teammates, he sat on the cement steps of the bench to rest. With Rosen''s departure, both sides seemed to have lost their passion for the game. Pulmes led 6-0 and was sure to win, so there was no need to waste energy to stimulate the opponent. Vlising was behind 0-6 and had no fighting spirit. More than ten minutes later, the referee blew the whistle to end the game. The game ended with Rosen scoring five goals in a single game and Pulmes defeating Vlising 6-0. After the game, the pleasant electronic sound of the system rang in Rosen''s mind. He was rewarded with 280 experience points for scoring five goals and the team won the game, and his level experience was upgraded from level 2 to level 3, and he received an upgrade reward of 10 attribute points and the right to open the level gift package (level 3). However, just as Rosen was about to open the package to check the level gift package and skill turntable, several ten-year-old fans ran to the bench to ask him for an autograph. Rosen''s five goals in a single game not only surprised and heatedly discussed the audience, but also made these little fans become his fans. These young fans chattered and expressed their admiration for Rosen, asking for autographs. Rosen can only speak some simple Dutch at present, but he really doesn''t know Dutch characters. In the end, he could only sign for these young fans in Chinese characters. The young fans left happily with their autographed books or jerseys. Then, the part-time players began to line up to receive their bonuses. When it was Rosen''s turn, Coach Van der Noo handed him his bonus and said, "Sen, you have performed very well in the last three games. I plan to report to the boss after I go back and include you in the club''s full-time player signing list." "You can get a fixed salary every month, and you don''t have to work as a waiter in a restaurant anymore. You can devote yourself to the game and training." "At the same time, after signing a full-time contract, your appearance fee and goal bonus will increase, which is the treatment only for the core players of the team." Coach Van der Noo originally expected Rosen''s thanks, but Rosen was relatively calm and didn''t show much surprise. This is also reasonable. After all, Rosen has bigger dreams and goals. Chapter011 At present, Rosen already has system auxiliary tools and has a bright future. He learned that there was a scout from the Eredivisie in the stands of this game, and he scored five goals in this game, which made it very likely that he would win the favor of the scout and get a trial invitation from the Eredivisie club. The gap between the Eredivisie and the amateur league of the fourth division, as well as the income gap between Eredivisie players and amateur players, are obvious. Therefore, facing the invitation from coach Van der No, Rosen did not show too much emotional fluctuations, let alone express gratitude. This is mainly because he already has the ability to score goals. If he cannot score goals, as in the previous two months, coach Van der No even threatened to fire him, so Rosen did not consider signing a full-time contract with Pulmes. The part-time contract simply stipulates terms such as appearance fees and goal bonuses, and is paid according to the number of games, similar to temporary workers, and is free to come and go. The full-time contract is different. It is equivalent to selling the player''s value to the other party. Without the other party''s consent, the player cannot leave the team privately unless the next club is willing to pay the transfer fee. Rosen obviously would not choose to sign a full-time contract and set up obstacles for his way to the Eredivisie. Of course, Coach Van der Noor is a friend of Cheng Shu, and he took him in for Cheng Shu''s sake, so there is still some favor in between. Therefore, Rosen did not refuse directly, but said to Coach Van der Noor tactfully: "Thank you, coach, I need to go back and think about it, okay?" Coach Van der Noor originally thought that Rosen would express his gratitude ecstatically, but he did not expect that he would still have to think about it. He thought that Rosen might have other ideas because he scored a few goals and wanted to go to a higher-level team. Coach Van der No felt nervous, and after considering his words, he said again: "Rosen, look at our team, most of them are part-time players, and there are very few full-time players. I made this suggestion because I saw that you performed well in the last three games." "You scored a lot of goals in these three games and earned a good income, but can you guarantee that you can score three or five goals in every game? If you can, why didn''t you score a goal in the first two months?" "So, there must be some luck in these games. If you sign a full-time contract with us, you don''t have to worry. Whether you score or not, win or not, the team will pay you a salary to ensure that you have a worry-free life. I hope you will seriously consider it and don''t miss it." After listening, Rosen continued to refuse tactfully: "This decision is very important to me. I need to think about it for two days, and I may have to call to ask my mother''s opinion." Coach Van der No knew that there was no hope, and said disappointedly: "Okay, I hope you think it over. Young people, don''t be too ambitious, cherishing the present is the best result." Rosen nodded to show his understanding: "Thank you, coach, I understand." Coach Van der No shook his head and said, "Call me when you''ve thought it through." Rosen packed up his things and left the court. He walked while opening the system, double-clicked the level gift package (level 3), and drew a lottery to open the fourth skill. When the turntable stopped turning, the skill name pointed to by the pointer was "header", and Rosen smiled with satisfaction. This is a very timely skill. In the first three games, everyone was shocked by Rosen''s super high goal efficiency, and did not realize that his heading ability was very poor. In fact, it''s not that Rosen didn''t run out of space and his teammates passed the ball high, but it was difficult for him to head the ball, and even if he did, he couldn''t head the ball into the goal frame. After Rosen exited the system panel and entered the skill page, he saw the header attribute, which confirmed his self-perception. The header attribute points were only 4 points. He added all his remaining 15 attribute points to the header, making the header attribute 19, close to the maximum value. Rosen can now handle both aerial balls and ground passes. After leaving the stadium, Rosen saw Song Zhicheng and others waiting on the roadside. After seeing Rosen coming out, Song Zhicheng raised his hand and shouted, "Xiaosen, this way!" After Rosen walked over, Song Zhicheng and others quickly surrounded him and praised him, "Xiaosen''s performance today was great, he scored five goals!" This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings. "I didn''t expect it at all when I came here. I came with the mentality of cheering you on, but I didn''t expect you to perform so well!" "Xiaosen, you are so awesome!" Someone else asked, "Five goals in a single game, plus the previous game, eight goals in two games. This level should be more than the level of the amateur league, right? Xiaosen should play in the professional league, at least the Dutch third division is okay, right?" Others nodded in agreement. Song Zhicheng also said, "When we went to Ajax for a trial before, Xiaosen performed very poorly, probably because of the language barrier and unfamiliar environment, and the same was true in the first two months in Pulmes. Now Xiaosen probably adapted, so he broke out immediately, right, Xiaosen?" The last sentence was asked to Rosen. Rosen stared at Song Zhicheng in amazement, and found that there was no need to explain anything, as Song Zhicheng had already helped him find the reasons for his poor performance in the previous trials and competitions. Rosen immediately agreed with Uncle Cheng''s suggestion: "Uncle Cheng is right. I was defrauded when I first arrived in the Netherlands, which did affect my mentality. In addition, the language barrier and unfamiliar environment also limited my performance in the competition. However, I have adjusted now." After hearing this, Song Zhicheng''s face was filled with a satisfied smile, as if he had found a "reasonable explanation" for Rosen''s previous poor performance. After a moment, Song Zhicheng''s expression turned serious and he said to Rosen: "Xiao Sen, since you are now in good shape, I don''t think you need to stay in Purmes. Although I am a friend of Van De No, the part-time bonus he gave you is indeed low, which seems to be a bit contemptuous of you, but I have never been embarrassed to say it." "Given your current high level, I think you should consider trying out for a professional team and no longer be a cheap laborer for Purmes." Even Song Zhicheng suggested that Rosen leave Purmes, and the attitudes of others were self-evident. They were more concerned about Rosen''s future than the fate of Purmes. Therefore, after hearing Song Zhicheng''s words, everyone nodded in agreement and made various suggestions. "That''s right, Komori''s level shouldn''t stay in Pulmes." "Komori should go to the professional league!" "Even if I can''t join the Dutch Eredivisie, other lower-level professional leagues are fine. They are definitely better than the current team!" "I know a scout for a third-tier league team. How about I try to contact him?" Just as everyone was discussing heatedly, Philip came over and stopped in front of Rosen. Everyone stopped their actions and cast their eyes on this stranger, wondering what he was up to. Philip then said to Rosen: "Hello, Rosen, I am Philip, a professional scout from the Dutch Eredivisie club Alkmaar." "I watched your entire game today. Your performance is very good. You are fully capable of gaining a foothold in the first division instead of continuing to compete in the fourth division amateur league. On behalf of Alkmaar, I formally invite you to participate in our team''s trial. What do you think?" Hearing Philip''s words, everyone showed surprise. They were just discussing Rosen''s trial with a professional team. They didn''t expect that a real professional scout would come forward so soon, and it was a team from the Dutch Eredivisie that invited Rosen to a trial. Faced with this sudden surprise, everyone was at a loss for a moment, just watching Rosen and Philip quietly. For Rosen, although he had already noticed the other party and learned his identity through the system, he still couldn''t hide his excitement when he heard the invitation in person. This is a great opportunity to jump from the fourth-level amateur league to the Dutch Eredivisie in one step! Although Rosen didn''t know Alkmaar when he was in China, he heard about it after he came to the Netherlands. In the first two seasons, Alkmaar ranked among the top three in the Dutch Eredivisie. Although it failed to win the championship, it was already a very outstanding result and could be called a strong team to compete for the championship. What''s more, Alkmaar''s head coach is the famous Van Gaal, who is good at promoting and reusing young people. Playing under Van Gaal will undoubtedly get more opportunities to play. As long as he is given the opportunity, Rosen believes that he will be able to grasp it. Therefore, after listening to Philip''s invitation to try out, Rosen immediately nodded and agreed: "Thank you very much for your invitation. I feel very honored to be able to participate in the trial training of Alkmaar." Philip smiled with satisfaction: "You made a wise choice." Then, he tore a piece of paper from his notebook and handed it to Rosen, which had his phone number and the address of the Alkmaar training base written on it. He asked Rosen to go to the base when the team started training after the winter break on January 5, and to call him before arriving, and he would take Rosen into the base. After Philip left, everyone cheered for Rosen. They believed that with Rosen''s ability, he would definitely pass the trial and stand out in the Eredivisie. Then, Song Zhicheng mentioned the possible contract signing matters after passing the trial, and asked Rosen if he had an agent of interest. Rosen didn''t know any agent, and the only people he knew in the Netherlands were probably those in their Chinese restaurant. Finally, Rosen suggested that Song Zhicheng be his agent. After thinking for a moment, Song Zhicheng declined the proposal, saying that he wanted to run a restaurant and did not understand professional legal affairs. But he expressed his willingness to be Rosen''s temporary agent and help him sign his first professional contract. After the contract is signed, Rosen can consult with coaches and teammates to find a professional football agent. Rosen expressed his gratitude for Uncle Cheng''s generous help. Song Zhicheng smiled and said, "It''s nothing, as long as you play football seriously in the future. As a fan, I''m waiting to see you play in the Eredivisie!" Rosen nodded firmly: "I will definitely live up to everyone''s expectations." Afterwards, everyone took Song Zhicheng and others'' vehicles back to Chinatown. In the car, Rosen took the opportunity to check the system changes. When Philip sent a trial invitation, the system prompted him to complete Task 2 and get a reward of 1,000 experience points. These 1,000 experience points enabled Rosen to upgrade from level 3 to level 4 and get a reward of 10 attribute points. He then opened the package and used the level gift package (level 4) to draw a skill, and the result was that he drew the practical skill of physical strength. After all, in the top league, the technical and tactical level and running distance are required to be higher, and it will be difficult to gain a foothold without sufficient physical strength. After opening the physical skill, Rosen added points to his physical attribute. He believed that his physical fitness brought by his genetic atavism made his physical strength good. Sure enough, after checking the skill page, he found that his physical attribute value was as high as 16, far exceeding basic attributes such as shooting, heading and running without the ball. Chapter012 Currently, Rosen faces a challenge: he only has 10 attribute points for upgrade bonuses, and cannot simultaneously increase his 19-point header and 16-point stamina to the maximum. After careful consideration, Rosen believes that 16 points of stamina are enough to cope with the needs of the game, after all, he is not a free man throughout the game. In contrast, improving the ability to seize scoring opportunities is more critical. Therefore, he first allocated 5 attribute points to increase his header from 19 points to 20 points, and then invested 3 attribute points to increase his stamina to 19 points, only 1 point away from the maximum. The remaining 2 attribute points are reserved for backup. After the adjustment, Rosen''s personal information and skill status are as follows. Name: Rosen Nationality: China Age: 16 years old Height: 182cm Weight: 80kg Level: 4 Experience: 600/700 Remaining attribute points: 2 Club: Pulmes (Netherlands) Shooting: 20 Off-ball movement: 20 Tackle: 3 Heading: 20 Physical strength: 19 After looking at his personal attributes, Rosen smiled confidently. With full shooting, heading and off-ball movement, as well as nearly full physical strength, he firmly believed that he could successfully pass the trial training of Alkmaar. Although there is still room for improvement in dribbling, passing and teamwork, with these outstanding performances, Rosen believes that he is enough to stand out in the trial training of Alkmaar and gain a foothold in the Eredivisie. During this period, Song Zhicheng specially arranged a vacation for Rosen so that he could devote himself to the preparations for the trial training of Alkmaar. On January 1, 2008, New Year''s Day, Rosen called his mother. In the previous call, he concealed the experience of being cheated to avoid worrying his mother. He only told his mother that his football level needed to be improved and he failed to pass the trials of several professional teams. He was currently signed to an amateur team and his income was enough to be self-sufficient. And this time, he could finally share the good news. He excitedly told his mother: "Mom, I played well in several games in December. I scored 5 goals in the most recent game. A scout from the Dutch Eredivisie team watched my game on site and invited me to try out for their team. I feel that I have made a lot of progress this time. I should be able to pass the trial and stay in that Dutch Eredivisie team." On the other end of the phone, Jiang Liantao, the mother, heard her son''s excited tone, and her worries were finally relieved. Although she didn''t understand football, she still told her son to seize this opportunity, strive to pass the trial, enter the professional team, and play a famous game. Rosen was also deeply moved, remembering the discrimination and ridicule he suffered in his childhood. He firmly assured his mother: "Don''t worry, Mom, I will definitely pass the team''s tryout this time!" After the mother and son cared about each other, when the mother asked if he needed money, Rosen declined. He didn''t dare to tell his mother that the money had been defrauded long ago, for fear that his mother would worry. This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it. After New Year''s Day, on January 5, the first training day after the winter break, the Alkmaar first-team training base was bustling. The players drove into the base one after another, ready to start recovery training. However, although the holiday was over, the players were not in a relaxed mood. Alkmaar''s record this season was not good, which was very different from its performance in the previous two seasons. It is currently ranked only 8th in the standings and was eliminated in the UEFA Cup group stage. In view of this situation, head coach Van Gaal offered to resign, but the players and the club tried their best to keep him, and finally Van Gaal continued to stay. At the gate of the base, Rosen and Song Zhicheng attracted the attention of many Alkmaar players. Because they were of the yellow race, without Philip''s guidance, they could not enter the base and could only wait at the gate. At nearly 9 o''clock, Philip finally arrived. After exchanging New Year greetings, he took Rosen and Song Zhicheng to register at the guard room and then led them to the first-team training base. Compared with the prestigious clubs in Dutch football history, including Ajax, PSV Eindhoven and Feyenoord, Alkmaar is relatively small in scale. The last time it won the Eredivisie championship was in 1981, 27 years ago. Given this background, Alkmaar''s training base is naturally not comparable to Ajax in terms of scale and facilities, which is also the club that Rosen and his team have visited. However, compared with those teams such as Pulmes that do not even have their own exclusive training grounds and can only train in public stadiums, Alkmaar''s training conditions are undoubtedly much better. Under the leadership of Philip, Rosen and Song Zhicheng entered the training ground, and coach Van Gaal was introducing the newly joined defenders to the players. Due to the poor performance in the first half of the season, Alkmaar introduced two defenders during the winter break to strengthen its defensive strength. Since the club sold the top scorer Georgian striker Avilas last summer, the team''s offensive power has declined significantly, which is also the main reason for Alkmaar''s poor performance in the league and the UEFA Cup this season. Therefore, Van Gaal hopes to introduce a striker to strengthen the offensive power during the winter break. However, since excellent strikers are expensive and difficult to obtain, Van Gaal finally had to settle for the second best and introduced two defenders as lineup supplements. As for the so-called "super striker" recommended by scout Philip before New Year''s Day, he is actually just a 16-year-old young player from the amateur league. Although he may have the potential to become a potential new star of the team in the future, Van Gaal does not think he can play a big role in improving the team''s current predicament. When Philip walked into the training ground with two Asian faces, Van Gaal immediately realized that the young player was the super striker mentioned by Philip who was said to be able to score five goals in a single game. He secretly observed Rosen''s physique and secretly wondered whether his goal-scoring ability was as good as Philip said. Afterwards, Philip introduced Rosen and his agent Song Zhicheng to Van Gaal. Van Gaal nodded and agreed to let Rosen stay with the team for a few days to observe his performance. After the two sides introduced themselves, Rosen stayed on the training ground, while Song Zhicheng left the scene. After Philip and Song Zhicheng left, Van Gaal said to Rosen, "Rosen, you should join the team and train with everyone in the next few days." Rosen nodded and walked into the team, which aroused the curiosity and discussion of other players. However, Van Gaal did not give the players too much time to discuss. He clapped his hands to attract everyone''s attention and said: "Today is the first day of training after the New Year. I didn''t want to say anything that would damage morale. But we must face reality." Van Gaal then listed the team''s poor performance in the first half of the season and emphasized that the team must redouble its efforts to catch up with the ranking in the standings. Van Gaal''s words resonated with the players, who cheered and encouraged each other. Even though Rosen, as a trial player, had not yet officially joined Alkmaar, he was deeply moved and echoed loudly. His attitude won the players'' appreciation and recognition. Van Gaal nodded with satisfaction and continued, "In this case, everyone should be mentally prepared to work harder to catch up in the second half of the season. Assistant coach Junker will arrange today''s training content." As Van Gaal''s assistant, Junker was responsible for arranging the training program for the day. Considering that today is the first day of training after the winter break and the team''s current severe situation, the coaching staff decided to conduct formal training from the first day to improve the players'' competitive state. Although the training intensity is moderate to avoid player injuries, the training content still covers multiple aspects such as physical fitness, agility, coordination, dribbling, stopping and passing. Before the training started, Rosen suddenly heard the system''s prompt sound in his mind. The system issued him the third task: signing with Alkmaar. The task requires him to sign a professional contract with Alkmaar through a trial to obtain a reward. Although Rosen was confused about the "special skills" in the reward, he was ready to go all out to complete the task and prove his strength.
