Mao Jinpeng woke up from his deep sleep, slowly opened his eyes, and recalled what happened to him while looking at the environment in the bedroom.
He was originally staying up late in a rental house to watch the 2014 World Cup final between Germany and Argentina, hoping to witness Messi win the title, but it turned out that Mario Gotze scored a volley in the 113th minute of overtime to help the German team. Lifted the Hercules Cup.
After the final whistle sounded, Mao Jinpeng got up to go to the toilet in disappointment. He didn't pay attention to the beer he accidentally spilled on the ground. He slipped on his foot and fell down. The back of his head hit the corner of the table hard and he fell over. .
But his soul did not disappear. Instead, it traveled half of the world and possessed a young Argentine named Alan Velarde. After fusing the other person's soul and memory, he was reborn.
Mao Jinpeng grew up in an orphanage. All the money he earned after working, except for his own daily necessities, was sent to the orphanage. He had several girlfriends who broke up because they had no house, car, or savings. Until he was 36 years old, marry.
Unexpectedly, he died suddenly and was reborn as an Argentinian.
Alan Velarde is only 21 years old this year and is a fringe substitute player for a second-division club called Hurricane Atlético in the suburbs of Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina.
This child is also unlucky. His parents passed away in a car accident a few days ago, leaving him and his sister Krisna to depend on each other. I just finished the funeral arrangements yesterday, and I was exhausted both physically and mentally. When I got home, I fainted on the bed. As a result, Mao Jinpeng took over the magpie's nest and took over the body and was reborn, even 15 years younger in disguise.
Later, thinking of the online novels he had read, Mao Jinpeng said whimsically: "Other people have golden fingers when they travel through time. Where is my golden finger?"
Unexpectedly, an electronic voice actually came from my mind: "As you wish, the football superstar system has been activated, and the binding to the host Alan Willard has been successful. For specific functions, please communicate with the host in your mind."
Mao Jinpeng was immediately delighted. Fortunately, he also liked football, and the host, Alan Willard, was a professional player himself, so it was a perfect match!
After communicating with his thoughts in his mind, Mao Jinpeng has basically understood the function of this football superstar system. Now his system information is displayed as:
Host: Alan Willard
Nationality: Argentina
Club: Hurricanes Athletics
Birthday: May 19, 1993
Height: 186cm
Weight: 84kg
Level: 0
Experience: 0/10,000
Skill points: 20
Defense: 56
…
(The protagonist in the following article will be called Alan Willard)
It is understood that Willard can be upgraded through gaining experience through training and competition. Each upgrade can obtain certain skill points to improve skill attributes.
The full value of skill attributes is 100. Each additional attribute before 60 only requires 1 skill point; 61-70 requires 2 skill points, 71-80 requires 3, 81-90 requires 5, and 91-99 requires 10. Adding 99 to 100 requires 50 skill points.
Moreover, in order to avoid suspicion from the outside world due to excessive strength improvement, skill attribute values need to be increased once every Monday before 90. After the skill attribute reaches 90, it can only be added once on the 1st of every month.
In addition, the upper limit of skills and attributes is also limited according to the league level he is in. Now that he is in the Argentine Second Division, his skills can only be increased to 80 at most; he can unlock it to 90 after being promoted to the Argentine League, and he can fully unlock it to 100 after moving to the five major European leagues.
Now Willard only has one initial skill "Defense" that is randomly turned on by the system, but this skill is a set that includes defensive positioning, blocking, marking, attacking, stealing, interception, reasonable collision, tackle, etc. It's not bad. In the future, you will have to randomly activate a new skill every 2 levels.
There is no limit to the 20 skill points initially awarded by the system and can be added to one skill at a time.
Therefore, for the "Defense" attribute of 56, Willard first spent 4 skill points to increase it to 60, leaving 16 skill points. According to the system rules, every additional attribute between 61 and 70 requires 2 skill points. Therefore, for the remaining 16 skill points, you can only increase "Defense" from 60 to 68, which will reduce the initial reward of 20 skill points. All used up.
68's defense, coupled with the physique brought by his impressive height and weight, are enough for him to be promoted from a marginal substitute to the main substitute, competing for playing time in the midfielder position, and with luck, he may even be the main player.
After understanding the system, Villard sat up, moved his body, and prepared to get out of bed, wash up, and report to the club.
It is the morning of July 15th, local time in Argentina. According to the club’s notice, the Hurricanes will start training today. On July 27th, the first Argentina Cup 1/16 finals game of the second half of the season will be ushered in.
Speaking of which, Argentina's league changes frequently and is very confusing.
Previously, there were spring and autumn leagues, with two champions produced in each season. In the past two years, the top teams in the spring and autumn leagues have competed against each other, and only one championship will be produced in each season. Now the Argentine Football Association has changed its mind again and is planning to launch a large-scale Serie A consisting of 30 teams starting next year, that is, in 2015. It will only play one season a year to determine a league champion.
Therefore, after the end of the 2013/2014 autumn league in the first half of the year, there will be a half-year transition period between the second half of the year and next year's new competition system, with preparations for adding a half-year play-off. (Note: South America, where Argentina is located, has opposite seasons to those in the country)
The Hurricanes Athletic Team will participate in the Argentine Segunda División Play-offs in the second half of 2014 in the second half of this year.
Because the A-League will expand from 20 teams to 30 teams next year, there are plenty of places for promotion to the A-League. As long as the ranking is in the middle or above, you can be promoted. Therefore, the A-B play-offs in the second half of the year are the best opportunity for the Hurricane Athletic Team to be promoted to the A-League. .
If the upgrade is successful, Willard can also take advantage of the situation to play in the A-League, gain more training and competition experience, and unlock the upper limit of skill attributes from 80 to 90.
As for the Argentine Cup, it is also a strange time confusion. The 2013/2014 season started in November last year, and the final will not be held until November this year. If the last few knockout games are calculated according to the old league system, they have already entered the 2014/2015 season.
Therefore, the current events that the Hurricanes are participating in are the 2014 Argentina Second Division playoffs and the 1/16 finals of the Argentine Cup in the 2013/2014 season. If they advance to the A-League next year, they will participate in the 2015 A-League and the 2014/2015 Argentine Cup.
The chaos in the Argentine league is evident.
In addition, Argentine football is also deeply involved by the government and gangs. The two giants Boca Juniors and River Plate, no matter how poor their results are, can be unconditionally sent to participate in the South American Football Confederation Cup (equivalent to the Europa League). When you perform well, you can participate in the Copa Libertadores (equivalent to the Champions League).
As for the infiltration of gangs into Argentine football, you only need to look at the 2010 World Cup. Dozens of gang members flew to South Africa on the same plane as the Argentine national team. It is said that their air tickets were purchased by the national team. The then head coach Maradona was photographed by the paparazzi having a drink with a gang boss, and the drugs he smoked were directly provided by the gang at a discounted price.
Just when Velarde was complaining about the chaos of Argentine football, there was a knock on the bedroom door, and Velarde said: "Come in!"
Then, sister Krisna opened the door and looked at Willard sadly: "Brother, it's time to have breakfast."
Willard nodded and said, "Come right away."
Afterwards, Willard got up and got dressed, went to the bathroom to wash up, then came to the dining table, took the bread and milk that his sister had warmed, and started eating.
But Krisna was preoccupied and ate very slowly.
Seeing this, Willard comforted: "Nana, although your parents are gone, don't worry, I will definitely take care of you and protect you."
It turned out that it was okay not to comfort her, but once she was comforted, 17-year-old Krisna suddenly felt sad and burst into tears, and Willard had to go to comfort her sister in a panic.
But the problem is that he is not the original host. Even if he has merged soul and memory, he is still a little in a hurry. It took him a while to comfort Krisna and finish breakfast.
After finishing breakfast, Willard said: "Nana, I have to go to the club to report. Is it okay for you to be home alone?"
Krisna said: "You go ahead, I'm fine. I'll just watch TV at home and not go anywhere."
Willard nodded, walked out the door, and got on the bus.
It takes more than ten minutes to take a bus from the town of Devoto, where my home is, to Rivadavia Road, where the Hurricanes Athletic Team is. Although it is faster to take a taxi, the original host's salary as a marginal substitute for the second-tier team is not high, only 3,000 pesos (about 2,300 yuan), and the family conditions are also ordinary, so he usually takes the bus.
Club training time is generally 9:30-11:30 in the morning, with a 3-hour lunch break, and 14:30-16:30 in the afternoon.
Out of curiosity and freshness about professional football, Willard went out a little early. When he arrived in front of the base, there was still a full hour before the start of training. At this time, he was surprised to see hundreds of die-hard Hurricanes fans holding banners gathered near the entrance of the base to cheer for the team's new season journey.
Due to the substantial expansion of the A-League next year, the 22 teams in this year's A-League play-offs will be divided into two groups, A and B, to play in a round-robin competition. Each group has only 11 teams, but has 5 promotion places.
This is definitely a rare promotion opportunity for any A-League team. That’s why hundreds of die-hard fans came to cheer in the first training session of the new season. However, if this God-given opportunity cannot be upgraded successfully this year, fans will definitely demonstrate and vent their dissatisfaction. There are many extreme fans who will burn jerseys, scarves, team flags, and even beat people.
South American football has always been accompanied by passion and extremes.
However, Willard was just a marginal substitute, and no one admired him, asked him for autographs or photos, and walked into the Hurricanes' training base silently.
