Chapter 17 Unlimited Potential
"Complete the first official game and get the King of Football Award worth 10,000 points."
"Score your first goal in an official match in your career and receive a reward worth 10,000 points."
"Scoring two goals in the first official match of your career will earn you 30,000 points as a reward."
"Scoring a goal on your debut and scoring twice will earn you a Star Ability Card. Please redeem it in the store."
…
The moment the referee blew the whistle to end the game, a series of system reminders came to Su Dong's mind.
Su Dong was stunned by this series of rewards.
So many King of Football points were awarded at once?
There is actually a star ability card!
Wow, this is definitely a great harvest.
But it's not surprising when you think about it. This was his first official match debut. He scored a goal and scored twice. This is absolutely incredible, an achievement that even he himself finds incredible.
Even now, he was still in a daze.
"Well done, Sue."
“What a great kick!”
"We completely dominated the second half and both goals were beautiful."
"You are simply our god of war!"
Strength speaks on the football field. Su Dong's performance helped Sporting CP defeat the strong opponent. Naturally, he also received respect from his teammates, especially the two goals were very exciting.
Matello walked over, put his arm around Su Dong's shoulders, and walked side by side with him with a smile.
During this period of time, he helped Su Dong with special training every day. Although this was his job, he was happy to see Su Dong making progress bit by bit.
But before today, Matelos could never have imagined that Su Dong would perform so well in his debut.
This is a double goal!
How many players can score two goals in the Portuguese Second Division in a season?
"As long as you keep up this momentum, we won't be able to keep you for long."
When he said this, Martello's tone was both relieved and proud, but also a little lost.
This is the tragedy of weak teams in the world of professional football.
They can't even keep the players they discovered, so what's the use even if they manage to keep them?
This itself is their way of survival.
"Don't think too much, keep working hard, try harder, and charge forward with all your strength!" Ma Tailuo cheered himself up and encouraged.
…
…
In the stands, more than a thousand fans of Sporting CP stood up at the same time when they saw the players walking off the field, giving them warm applause, especially to Sudon who was walking side by side with Matelos.
At the age of sixteen, he scored twice in his debut. Is there any better performance than this?
Almost all the fans don’t know him and no one can call out his name, but that doesn’t stop them.
They shouted Su Dong's No. 36 jersey, especially when Su Dong and Mateello approached the stands, the whole audience burst into the warmest applause, which was the best affirmation for them.
It's no surprise that Matelo was the best player of the match.
Su Dong was the team's surprise player in the second half, defeating Loretano with two goals.
What is even more exciting is that both of his goals were very beautiful, and he looked like the Serie A god of war Batistuta.
When passing the stands, Matelos pulled Su Dong and clapped his hands vigorously to thank the fans for their support and affirmation. Then the two of them walked into the player tunnel together.
The fans of Sporting CP gave an even warmer applause.
…
Head coach Gorba and club executives were sitting among the fans.
When the team was in a passive situation in the first half, Gorba's face was not looking good either.
But when the situation turned around in the second half, especially after Su Dong scored goals one after another, Gorba's face almost turned into a sunflower.
The team defeated the opponent, and Su Dong, who he discovered and cultivated, scored twice. This was definitely Gorba's achievement.
Especially when he heard the fans shouting No. 36, Gorba became even more excited.
"This kid is making rapid progress." Gorba introduced him to the senior executives beside him.
"If I remember correctly, he was introduced by someone else, right?"
"Well, a very unprofessional Chinese agent gave us some money to train Su Dong for two months. We didn't take it too seriously at first, and Su Dong's performance was not good. He even didn't report to the team for more than a month."
When Gorba said this, he paused and smiled at his boss. "But in the assessment not long ago, I found that this kid has made great progress. It may be because the training he received before was not professional. After joining the team, he can be described as making great progress. Now he has the ability to play as a starter."
"After I found out about this, I immediately asked him to renew his contract, but because he is only 16 years old, we can only sign him to a youth training contract. But I believe, especially after today's game, I am convinced that he will perform better and better."
"Yes." The boss understood what Gorba meant and guessed his thoughts. "Do you want to recommend him?"
As a Lisbon team, Sporting CP does not have a good relationship with Benfica and Sporting Lisbon. Instead, it has a long-term friendly cooperative relationship with Belarences and is a satellite club of Belarences.
Discovering players and recommending them to Valerense is one of the cooperation projects between the two teams.
If the other party is interested, scouts will be arranged to track the player as soon as possible, and the club will be actively contacted to understand the player's situation. If the player performs well, it is not ruled out that Bellerenses will buy the player directly.
"I will definitely recommend him. I will leave his name at Belarence first, and we will also increase our efforts to train him. It would be best if we can directly support him to become a starter. As long as he continues to perform well, I believe he can be sold for a good price."
"Can it reach 30,000 euros?" the boss asked with concern.
This is a very good price for young players in the Portuguese Second Division.
"It depends on the performance. As long as I play a few more games and perform well enough, I can get 30,000 or even 50,000. I think it is entirely possible."
Fifty thousand?
There was an obvious desire in the boss's eyes. This was a huge sum of money for the athletic association.
"Then let's do as you say."
…
Su Dong didn't know that Gorba and the management were in the stands planning how to sell him for a good price.
In the locker room, he accepted congratulations from his teammates.
The win over Loletano was the first three points of the season for the Athletics and was crucial.
Although the team has no hope of promotion, no one wants the team to be relegated. After all, if it is relegated to another level, all the teams will basically be amateur teams, which is equivalent to playing in an amateur game and is not very challenging.
Even head coach Antonio Pereira praised him and encouraged Su Dong to continue this performance.
"Next, I will give you more opportunities and playing time. Come on, do your best."
Su Dong was of course happy and grateful.
After everyone had dispersed, he sat down in front of his locker and let out a long breath.
The game is over.
Although he only played for half the game, he consumed a lot of energy.
This was a match for the adult team, and he had no impression of it at all.
Competition pressure, physical confrontation, tactical execution...
Too many tasks weighed on his shoulders, constantly draining his physical strength.
This feeling cannot be simulated by private training or team training. Only when you actually step onto the field and fight to the death with your opponent can you experience that kind of pressure.
I may not have the physical fitness to play a full game for the senior team.
Su Dong thought to himself.
Youth team games for his age group usually last 60 minutes, with 30 minutes each for the first and second half. Whether it is the execution of skills and tactics, physical confrontation, or the intensity of the game, they cannot be compared with the adult team.
More importantly, although Su Dong's endurance increased to 57 points, his strength confrontation was only 41 points.
In other words, his endurance barely reaches the median line of semi-professional teams, and his strength confrontation is still far below the passing line.
In this situation, if Su Dong had to fight with the tall and strong central defender for the whole 90 minutes, he would definitely not be able to bear it.
This also made him realize that the intensity of the adult team's games is really greater.
At the same time, he also needs to improve his physical fitness as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Su Dong didn't think about it any more.
Enter the road to becoming the king of football and come to the personal attribute panel.
The previous game brought him more than 2,000 points of King of Football value, but that was not the point.
The point is, at the end of the game, the system awarded 50,000 points of King of Balls in one go.
Su Dong immediately converted the 50,000 points of King of Football value into 100 points of potential value, divided it into four parts, and injected them into the four physical attributes respectively.
First, the speed and explosive power potential were both increased to 99 points, and then the endurance potential was also increased to 99 points. The remaining 15 points of potential were all injected into the strength attribute and increased to 65 points.
But he still felt that it was far from enough, so he used the king of football value to convert 34 points of potential value, directly increasing the potential value of strength to 99 points.
In this way, the potential values of the four physical attributes are all full .
In addition, over the past period of time, Su Dong's potential values have basically been spent on technical attributes, and he has already maxed out the potential values of the four technical attributes, so he now has two major categories of attribute potentials at full value.
The next thing to do is to improve your strength as quickly as possible.
But it's just a matter of time.
After spending so much time with the Road to King of Football system, Su Dong gradually figured out some of the rules of this system.
The so-called potential is like a player's talent.
In the past, Su Dong’s talent was limited and it was easy for him to reach the top. No matter how hard he practiced, it was useless and he would not make any progress at all.
But the road to becoming the king of football has brought him earth-shaking changes, allowing him to continuously improve his potential, which is equivalent to improving his talent. Once his potential is improved, as long as he is willing to work hard, his strength will slowly improve.
The improvement speed of the strength at the Qiugan level is slower than that at the Qiuli level. I believe that as you continue to move forward, it will become slower and slower as the level increases. But for Su Dong, it is just a matter of time spent.
Compared with the previous situation where I was hitting the ceiling and doing useless work, it is much better now.
