What the hell? An S-grade player with a Xavi template?
Xavi, the midfield maestro of Barcelona?
Long Fei was startled.
He was well aware of the terrifying power of midfield maestro Xavi.
It was an existence he could only dream of!
【Ding! Successfully loaded the Xavi template!】
【Your long pass attribute has been increased!】
【Current long pass attribute: 99!】
【Ding! Your overall ability rating has been increased!】
【Current overall ability rating: 72!】
Seeing the system's prompts, Long Fei was somewhat surprised.
He looked at his personal attribute template.
In the passing category, the long pass attribute had jumped from 70 directly to 99!
His overall ability rating had also risen from 68 to 72!
Wow, this cheat is amazing.
Awesome!
As a midfielder, passing ability is the core of the core!
Long pass is even more crucial!
Midfield maestro Xavi, as the absolute core of the Dream Team Barcelona, his long passes were like cruise missiles, hitting their target every time!
He often ripped apart his opponent's defense with a single long pass.
Creating direct scoring opportunities for his teammates!
Furthermore, Long Fei also knew.
An overall ability rating increase of three points was quite difficult!
After all, his personal attribute panel had a total of seven categories, with 21 attribute sub-items.
That was quite a lot.
Therefore, the impact of a single attribute change on the overall rating was ultimately limited.
Looking at the red 99 long pass value on his personal attribute panel, Long Fei felt a bit itchy.
When the Xavi template was loading earlier, he felt a brief icy sensation in his legs.
Other than that, there was no other anomaly.
By asking the system, Long Fei learned that 99 was the current maximum value of the attribute.
In other words, he, with the Xavi template, was the ceiling of long pass among all professional footballers on this planet!
Long Fei walked to the pitch with some disbelief.
He casually picked up a spare football from the sidelines.
Long pass 99. If it was Xavi's level of long pass...
Long Fei looked towards the corner flagpole in the distance.
His current position was at least 70 meters away from the corner flagpole.
This was the distance from his own backfield to the opponent's penalty area in a match!
“Bang!”
Long Fei swung his leg and kicked a long pass.
The football drew a beautiful arc.
It accurately hit the corner flagpole!
Because it was just a U18 provincial sports meeting, there weren't many spectators on the pitch.
Therefore, Long Fei's astonishing long pass didn't attract anyone's attention.
Long Fei was startled.
No wonder it had a Xavi template and a 99 long pass value! From such a long distance, it still had such terrifying accuracy!
Long Fei even felt that his previous long pass had some room to spare.
Perhaps at an even greater distance, he could still hit the target!
“I'm making an announcement!”
At this moment, the voice of Lan Yong, the head coach of the men's football team, echoed across the pitch.
Lan Yong had already walked to the podium on the pitch, speaking into the microphone with anger in his voice.
“During the halftime break, Long Fei, a player from the Nanhai team, assaulted his leader, which is an egregious offense.”
“I hereby announce that Long Fei is disqualified from further participation in the competition!”
Lan Yong had been slapped twice by Long Fei. His face still hurt badly.
Long Fei sneered in his heart.
Disqualifying me from the competition? You think I'm still in the mood to play?
Long Fei looked at the football at his feet, his heart moved.
He glanced at Lan Yong on the podium in the distance.
He swung his leg from where he stood.
The football drew a long arc.
Spinning towards the podium.
“Ah!”
Lan Yong cried out in pain.
The football accurately hit Lan Yong's forehead.
Directly knocking him to the ground.
“Who? Who the hell kicked the ball?!”
Lan Yong scrambled up from under the table.
Rubbing his swollen forehead, he grumbled angrily.
The staff members around him looked at Long Fei in the distance with disbelief.
Following the trajectory of the football, it could only be the work of Long Fei in the distance!
“Long Fei! You're finished! You'll never play football in China again in your life!”
“Banned! You'll be banned!!”
Lan Yong roared into the microphone in a fit of rage.
Long Fei in the distance simply smiled calmly.
He extended his middle finger and gave Lan Yong the middle finger salute.
“Don't take any photos!”
“All media, don't leave after the match!”
Lan Yong's staff members expertly instructed the media around them, afraid they would make a big story.
At this time, on the edge of the pitch, a middle-aged man wearing a baseball cap looked at everything with amazement.
He seemed to be still in shock.
From the direction Lan Yong and the others were yelling, it could be seen that the football that hit Lan Yong.
Was kicked by that young man named Long Fei in the distance? But... how is that possible?
Judging from the visual distance, the distance between the young man and Lan Yong was at least 80 meters!
Hitting someone's head from 80 meters away.
From the kicker's perspective, it's just a small dot!
This is a level of long pass accuracy that only master-level players can achieve!
Now, it's happening to a young player from China?!
The middle-aged man's name was Jim Lawler.
He was the chief scout of Premier League powerhouse Manchester United.
This trip to Asia, he wasn't really paying much attention.
If it hadn't been for expanding Manchester United's business in China, he wouldn't have come to China himself.
He had been running Manchester United's scout system for many years.
There were also many Manchester United scouts active in Asia.
They would occasionally submit reports of talented players.
But most of the scouting reports were from Korea and Japan.
As for China, Jim couldn't remember the last time he received a scouting report on a Chinese player.
Jim had been in charge of scouting for Manchester United for over ten years.
The last Chinese player that had left a deep impression on him was striker Dong Fangzhuo.
He was a young guy with incredible speed.
He had joined Manchester United's first team alongside Ronaldo back then.
Unfortunately, he eventually became a one-hit wonder.
Jim looked at Long Fei again.
Could it be that this time, he has truly discovered a passing genius in China?
Long Fei knew that although beating up and humiliating Lan Yong made him feel very happy, he would probably not be able to stay in Chinese football.
Lan Yong's rage was not exaggerated. As the men's football team leader, he was a powerful figure in the Football Association, with immense influence alongside Chen Xu Yuan, the head of the Association. A single phone call from them would be enough to make no domestic club dare to sign him.
Long Fei snorted coldly. But he never planned to play in China. In his previous life, he had played in China and was betrayed by Lan Yong and the others, resulting in his leg being broken.
Long Fei glanced coldly towards the podium. This feud is not over! He will take revenge someday!
【Ding! Mission mode activated! You have received a main mission!】
【Mission Name: The Starting Point of a Superstar's Career!】
【Mission Objective: Sign a professional contract with a European club!】
【Mission Reward: Obtain one treasure box draw chance!】
【Mission Failure Penalty: This system will disappear!】
Seeing the system's mission, Long Fei nodded. He wasn't planning on staying in China anyway. Plus, with his 99 long pass ability, he was going to make his mark in Europe!
However... Long Fei looked at his phone.
The current date was January 25th, 2015.
There were only six days left before the European major leagues' winter break transfer window closed.
With such a short time frame, how could he sign with a European club?
“Hello, you're Long Fei, right?”
A strange-sounding male voice came from behind Long Fei.
Long Fei turned around and saw a white, middle-aged man wearing a baseball cap staring at him.
His eyes held a sense of expectation.
Long Fei nodded.
“Uh... hello, my name is Jim... uh, I'm Manchester United's chief scout, this... this is my business card.”
Jim was thankful that he had been running around China these past few years. He could handle some basic Chinese communication.
A Manchester United scout? Long Fei looked at Jim with suspicion. He was just worrying about signing with a European club, and now, here comes a scout? But after looking at Jim's business card and seeing Jim's work ID, Long Fei's eyes lit up. It was really a Manchester United scout?!
“Was it you who kicked that pass just now?”
Jim pointed towards the podium, asking eagerly.
Long Fei nodded: “It was me.”
“That... can you kick another one?”
Jim asked.
Long Fei glanced at the podium and smiled, “Kick another one at that guy's head?”
Jim was stunned, then said, “As long as you can kick with the same accuracy as before, kick anywhere you want!”
Long Fei nodded.
He handed the football to Jim.
Just as Jim was puzzled by Long Fei's intention, Long Fei had already walked to the grass ten meters behind him. Now, the distance between Long Fei and the podium was even further than before!
Long Fei looked at Jim calmly and said, “What are you standing there for, throw the ball over here.”
“Just throw it casually.”
“If the microphone on the podium is still on, you'll hear a scream in two seconds.”
