Becoming a football god from Arsenal

Chapter 244 New skills and new plans? Isabella's surprise and fiery youth! Morocco Conference Center!

On August 8, Maher, who had just finished this month's schedule, practiced on the lawn in front of his home and thought about a question.

Is it possible for his shooting and passing to develop into comprehensive additional skills like fancy moves and dribbling?

These are two abilities that he has long wanted to improve in terms of overall level. He is eager to learn lob shots, penalty kicks, lob shots, and various passing techniques, but does not want to practice these supplementary abilities separately.

According to the functions previously revealed by the proficiency panel, it stands to reason that as long as he practices, he will have hope of achieving what he wants.

However, he always had a vague feeling that shooting and passing were different from dribbling and fancy moves.

The latter two themselves are somewhat comprehensive abilities, while shooting and passing have many important subcategories.

Just like a player who is very good at dribbling, it is difficult to say what exactly he is good at and you can only summarize him with general terms like he is good at dribbling and he is good at passing players.

Unless someone has unique skills in a certain area, like the cycling king Robinho, his characteristics can be highlighted. But this is only a minority.

But shooting is different. It is easy to distinguish whether long shot is better or push shot is better, volley is better or header is better!
These are even completely different fields. If you excel in one of them, you may be able to gain a foothold in the professional league. If you excel in two of them, you may have the hope of becoming an excellent striker. If you excel in three of them, you may have the opportunity to be called an all-around striker!
Although abilities such as lobs, penalties, and push shots are not as difficult to practice and useful as headers and long shots, they do seem to be slightly more difficult than rainbows and ox tails.

Or was it that he was overthinking it, thinking too complicatedly about a skill that would make it easier to score goals and more likely to suddenly change the situation?

In fact, these skills are similar to Rainbow and Cow Tail?
"do not care."

Maher patted his brain and decided not to think about it further for the time being. He would know when he tried it.

However, in the following training, he couldn't help but think about this issue. The temptation to improve his comprehensive abilities was too great for him.

"How about some practice?"

He had new ideas and also wanted to re-plan his training plan.

For him who has now become a super star, if he wants to improve his performance further, there are two ways: acquire more level 5 skills, and fill in the gaps to improve his overall abilities.

He has been practicing his lv5 skills, but he seems to be putting it off when it comes to filling in the gaps.

In fact, he can already compete for some top individual honors this season, or at least work towards that direction.

At this time, if you continue to train with a mentality of developing slowly and taking your time, the effect will definitely not be better than starting a full-speed sprint directly.

"practice!"

Maher made a decision. He opened the proficiency panel and looked at the skills he had been practicing recently.

[Skill: Decision Level 4]

[Proficiency: (3648/5000)]

[Skill: Galloping lv4]

[Proficiency: (2739/5000)]

[Skill: Divine Power lv4]

[Proficiency: (2245/5000)]

[Skill: Arc Blade lv4]

[Proficiency: (1392/2000)]

[Skill: Arc Guidance lv4]

[Proficiency: (1299/2000)]

[Skills: Fancy Dribbling lv4]

[Proficiency: (461/5000)]

[Additional skills: Fancy skills lv3]

[Proficiency: (203/1500)]

It can be noticed that the average proficiency of the two skills, Gallop and Divine Power, is just over halfway to upgrading.

These two things cannot be rushed, as their improvement will definitely bring him an unprecedented qualitative change. Therefore, it will definitely require more time and patience, as well as persistent perseverance and hard work.

The arc knife and arc guidance are very close, and it is estimated that the upgrade will be completed in the near future. By then, he will usher in the era of 3 lv5 skills!

As for the other two fancy skills, since I have just started practicing them, there is still a long way to go before they can be upgraded.

The decision was because his proficiency level was automatically increased, and he rarely paid attention to it on a daily basis.

I just hope he can upgrade quickly so that his ability to read the game on the field and process information with his brain can truly reach the human limit.

After reading this, Maher decided to adjust his training plan. He wanted to change the order of training each skill and the proportion of time invested.

The first things that can be confirmed are Gallop and Divine Power, Arc Blade and Arc Guidance. These four are undoubtedly the first!

Even though the first two are still a long way from being upgraded, he is still willing to grind slowly and will not lose sight of the main goal just to practice new skills.

Even skills such as heading, volleying, and instep passing, which may be added to the plan in the future, will be the first priority in his training.

"As for the alternative of fancy style."

Maher looked at the 5000 proficiency points of Fancy Dribbling and had an idea, "Why not put this main skill aside for now and continue practicing the additional skills until they reach level 4."

Long time ago, he had an expected result for practicing fancy moves - to achieve a 4-star fancy move!
Since it is almost done, maybe we can hold off on pursuing the 5-star fancy moves until other main skills reach level 5, or after we have checked for any gaps, and then pursue this one.

"that's it."

马埃尔做出了决定，那现在他主练的技能就是5项，4项lv4-lv5的技能、1项lv3-lv4，追4星逆足的技能。

In this way, he can spare some time every day to practice the additional skills of shooting and passing.

If he can master these two, he will be able to master the four basic items of passing, stopping, dribbling and shooting. For a simple item like stopping the ball, he definitely does not need the help of additional skills.

"Bang bang bang!"

In the following training, Maher added passing and shooting to the group training, first feeling whether he could feel the existence of additional skills.

By that afternoon, he felt as if his shooting skills had changed slightly, but he couldn't be sure.

Passing is not available for the time being. Maybe this ability is not like shooting. You can train it by yourself and place the markers to simulate real scenes and control the quality.

"Jose!"

During lunch in the afternoon, Maher called Jose and asked him to help develop a training plan for these two skills.

"More?"

Jose was a little surprised this time. Today's Maher is different from before. He has become a representative of all-round striker and a super striker who dominates the Premier League.

Is it unnecessary to practice new skills and pursue diversified improvement at this time?
"In fact, Davis and I agree that you don't need to train anymore. You are already perfect."

Jose took out his notebook and wrote down what Maher said. "Although this may cause us to lose our jobs, I still have to say it. Don't you think that for you now, adjusting your status is the first priority?"

Seeing that he was still writing it down and getting ready for work, Maher said nothing, but just shook his head slightly.

"That's right." Jose organized his words and said, "We understand your physical indicators. Through your performance on the court, we can determine with certainty that you are definitely capable of competing with Melo.

“That’s even an understatement, to be honest, I think you’ve surpassed them.

"Right now, you should actually focus all your energy on recovery training and condition adjustment, as well as injury prevention, business value development and marketing public relations, etc.

"As long as you maintain a good mood and a good state, and make sure you can bring all your abilities into play, you can directly challenge the top 1, and time will slowly give you a good result.

"Moreover, after all these years of hard work, it's time for you to get more wealth through marketing and other efforts. This is the harvest moment that many people dream of."

José had been talking a lot, and after following Mahel for so long, his relationship with the young employer was not much different from that of Harry and Safina.

"you are right."

Maher did not deny him, but still expressed his thoughts, "But for me, now may not be the time to fully enjoy competition and pursue economic benefits. I think I still have a long way to go.

"Of course, that just means I'm moving forward, not that I don't focus on the things you said.

"Have you noticed that I am actually doing all of these things you said?

"only."

Seeing that he couldn't say it, Jose smiled bitterly and added: "It's just that you're still unwilling to let yourself go and continue your hard and tiring life."

"Ha ha."

Maher smiled, raised his shoulders and said: "God has given me a great opportunity. My 'talent' can allow me to see a different path and hopefully reach a different height than everyone else.

"In this case, I will of course give more and work harder until I see the end."

"What is the end for you?" Jose asked curiously.

"end."

Maher thought about it seriously. He rarely answered other people's questions without thinking. "Two, one is my own limit, and the other is the limit of all football players throughout the ages."

Jose smiled faintly, "I don't know about the latter, but with your attitude, the former is definitely possible."

“I think the day will come when I reach my limit.”

Maher walked upstairs. Halfway up, he looked at Jose with a look of confirmation and said with a smile, "That's the day when all football players reach their limits. Wait, Jose!"

"Hahaha!" Jose then laughed out loud. This was certainly not a mockery, but just an expression of admiration for Maher's grand goal.

Maher laughed along with him to avoid his words sounding too strange or too deliberate; he had long been accustomed to using joking methods to express his true thoughts.

Starting from the next day, he began systematic training in comprehensive passing and shooting abilities.

Jose also corrected him on some details, sometimes explaining loudly on the training ground: "The ball is out of control now! Did you notice that after you rubbed your toes over, you obviously couldn't keep up with the ball.

“You’re such a good dribbler, don’t worry, just make sure your supporting foot is well planted!
"Sometimes, if you want to do a new move so hard, you'll forget your previous moves for a while. Don't do that."

"."

"It's not high enough! This one is too high again. I need to try to find the feeling of exerting force and that clever power!"

"."

"See, there are three sets of markers here, think of them as three defensive players, we need to use various high-altitude pass movements to perform two-on-ones, keep the ball in the air and pass it.

"The arch of the foot, the outer instep, even the heel and toes can all be used, as long as the two-on-one effect can be achieved."

"."

"PassPassYeah beautiful! You have the basic skills, you should be able to do this quickly."

"."

"A flick with the outside of the foot! Oops, it was almost there! This way of passing the ball is actually very important. Sometimes you don't have time to turn around, and a flick with the outside of the foot in the air can instantly open up the situation."

"."

In fact, a personal technical coach does not necessarily have to be very good at a certain technical move. It is impossible to find such an all-rounder. Jose is certainly not one of them.

His advantage, or the advantage of all excellent technical coaches, is that they can understand each technique, know what is right, reasonable, and effective, and know how to practice.

For example, in terms of skills such as lobs and passes, Jose's level may not be as good as Maher's.

But he can replay and summarize the videotapes to see what the perfect technical moves of some stars are in some scenes, and then extract the key elements and constantly emphasize them to Maher.

“Bang, bang. bang!”

Rather than being a coach, he is more of an assistant, a computer analysis system with eagle eyes that can help Maher find all the mistakes.

After finishing all the training for the day, Maher took a shower and lay down on the sofa, watching the game while relieving his physical fatigue.

Just like yesterday, he could clearly feel that shooting should have similar additional skills, but passing still gave him a vague feeling.

This made him feel even more strange, as these two skills were obviously similar.

Just practice for a few more days, and the persistent training like before should bring him results.

"Buzz, buzz!" The roar of a car suddenly came from far away, followed by the light of the car shining on the French window into the house. Maher turned his head and looked out, and saw Isabella's 911 slowly stopped at the door. She and Aisha got out of the car and walked over with several large bags.

He walked to the door and opened it, a smile on his face, "Are you ready?"

The UEFA Awards Ceremony was coming up, and previously at a family gathering, he had asked Aisha to make him a custom-made dress.

What they are holding in their hands now should be the clothes he will wear to attend the event.

"Of course." Isabella was a little helpless and walked in with the bag. "No matter how bad it is, do I have to take you to pick up the custom-made clothes before the award ceremony like last time?"

"Hehe!" Aisha, who was following behind, laughed, as if she was also remembering that day.

There was a little embarrassment on Maher's face, but it soon turned into a chuckle. He remembered that that day was also the day when his relationship with Isabella was basically confirmed.

If I remember correctly, he and Isabella had an agreement for the future. And this time, there was a chance that that agreement could be fulfilled.

"Come and try it."

Isabella took out the clothes from the bag. There were two black pieces, one gray piece and one red piece. They were all very well made. At least according to Mael's aesthetic taste, there was nothing wrong with them.

He went upstairs with Isabella and went to the room to try on clothes. It didn't take long for him to decide on a black suit.

"Why not choose red?" Isabella held the red suit with a little regret on her pretty face. She might have expected Mael to choose this flashy dress.

"The UEFA awards ceremony, in my impression, is probably more serious."

Maher put on a black suit and looked at himself in the mirror with satisfaction. "It's not the importance, but the overall atmosphere. The FIFA Awards Ceremony gives people a feeling of letting a hundred flowers bloom. You can wear anything."

"Oh, I see." Isabella put down the red suit and stared at Mael's face with a smile, as if waiting for something.

"what happened?"

Maher didn't react at first. He glanced at her and then turned his head away.

Isabella's smile deepened, and she even asked in a coquettish tone, "In your mind, what's the difference between the UEFA awards ceremony and the FIFA awards ceremony?"

"Ha ha."

Maher now knew what she was referring to. He turned around and looked at Isabella with a smile, "Don't worry, I haven't forgotten. I will take you there this time."

"real?!"

Isabella's beautiful eyes showed surprise, which then spread to her entire face. She stood up immediately, took Mael's hand and walked downstairs. "Come with me. I'll show you something."

Mahel followed her all the way down the stairs and came to Elsa's side.

Aisha looked at his new suit and her eyes lit up. She couldn't help but praise him, "It looks great. We can't even hire a model like this in our store. It looks so good on him."

"Isabella also said that you would definitely choose the red one. I think the black one is great."

Maher nodded and said with a smile, "Thank you. I'll ask Harry to take the money to your store later."

While the two were talking, Isabella had already squatted next to Aisha, rummaging through several bags that Aisha had brought over, which should have contained some women's dresses.

"Ah, no, yes."

Aisha just refused, but when she saw her best friend's expression, she couldn't help but change her expression, "Isabella? Are you really going with us? I thought you were joking."

“Hehe.” Isabella raised her chin arrogantly and said jokingly, “Yes, I’m really going this time. Bless me! My dear Aisha!”

"Huh" Aisha pretended to be disdainful and jealous, but in fact her eyes revealed sincere blessings and envy.

The UEFA Awards Ceremony is one of the most prestigious banquets in Europe and always attracts attention from all over the world.

As a girl, she envied Isabella for being able to go there, and as a guest lady.

That was definitely a very special and glorious experience, and no girl would not envy it.

However, as a best friend, she would still bless Isabella and wish her to find a boyfriend who is so outstanding, loves her so much, and is willing to take her to some very important places to announce her existence to everyone.

"how about this?"

Isabella would take out a dress from time to time, put it on herself with a beaming face and asked, "What about this one? I think this one is great. Actually, I wanted to wear red, but you didn't choose the same color one."

"Red is a good color." Maher picked up the red diamond dress, nodded and smiled, "I think it goes well with my black clothes."

Aisha was watching from the side, and she felt that this moment was beautiful, but she also felt like a light bulb, and for a moment she had very complicated emotions.

On the way here, Isabella actually didn't let her bring the ladies' dresses, for fear that Mael wouldn't want to take her with him, and it would be awkward when the dresses were brought in. So she left them in the car and brought them over.

Aisha still vaguely remembered Isabella's worried face and the way she would occasionally comfort her inadvertently. Considering this moment, she should be really surprised.

"Okay, I'm going upstairs to change. Help me check it later, Aisha."

Isabella picked up the red dress and stood up excitedly. When she saw her best friend's expression, her face changed. "Thank you for this time. When I come back, maybe I will become a little famous. I will go to your store and help you endorse it for free."

"Haha." Aisha laughed and nodded, "Okay, don't regret it when the time comes."

"I can also help you shoot a commercial." Mael was in a good mood and agreed, then took Isabella's hand and went upstairs.

Aisha sat there, stunned for a moment before she reacted. She seemed to be hit by the surprise as well.

Maher's ad?

Now it's 140 million pounds, right?
"Cough cough." She coughed twice, and couldn't help but take out her cell phone and happily tell her family the news.

Not long after, Isabella and Mael came back. The two people in formal attire stood in the living room of the villa, forming a beautiful landscape.

"ah!"

"what!"

"Hey hey hey!"

Isabella pulled Mael, sometimes making some funny faces, sometimes doing some strange movements, and asked Aisha to help her take pictures.

This is her ardent clarity, so of course she has to record it well.

Maher had been staring at him from the side, and sometimes he would cooperate with her. All in all, this might be an unforgettable night.

"Mael!"

Not long after, Davis ran out of the room and was startled when he saw the two people in formal attire. Then he smiled and said, "The 10-man candidate list for UEFA's best player has been updated to the final three."

"I know I am."

"I know he exists."*2
The three people in the living room spoke in unison and blocked Davis who wanted to create a surprise. They had experienced many such moments.

Davis laughed dryly twice, "Haha. Uh, well, isn't this something worth celebrating?"

“Of course it’s worth rejoicing.”

Aisha walked up to him and took his phone. They had met on many occasions and were quite familiar with each other. "Come and take a look, the UEFA Best Candidate!

"Cristiano Ronaldo, Leo Messi, Leon Mahre!"

"Hahaha Yeah!" A burst of laughter rang out in the living room. Soon after, Harry, Safina and Jose came out together, and sat down aside with smiles on their faces.

"Will we go this time?" There was some anticipation on Safina's face. They had accompanied Maher to the last FIFA awards ceremony.

And that time, Maher was only selected as a candidate for the Ballon d'Or along with Puskas among dozens of candidates.

This time, it's a real top three. Even if we can't win the best half-man trophy, we can at least get a top three UEFA trophy.

"of course."

Maher looked around and confirmed, "Let's go together, Aisha too. After going to the FIFA awards ceremony last time, I know that there is also an outdoor banquet center for the awards ceremony. We will arrange for you to go there."

"Yes!"

"Okay!"

Amid the celebration, Aisha's face turned red from the constant surprises. She pointed at herself with her right hand and murmured, "Am I going too?"

"besides."

Maher pointed a finger at the team members who had been with him for a long time and said, "If we win the prize this time, I will give each of you a generous gift and increase your salary."

"Mua!"

"Long live the boss!"

"Hahaha!"

Laughter filled the entire house. Seeing everyone smiling happily, many people were holding each other's hands and imitating the Latin dance movements to celebrate.

A look of satisfaction also appeared on Maher's face, as if this was the scene he had always wanted to see.

On August 8, they will travel to the Grimaldi Forum in Morocco together!

Two days later, Maher and his group took a chartered flight from London International Airport. After experiencing the special service during the journey, he also had the idea of ​​buying a private jet.

As far as I can remember, Ronaldo seemed to have a G200 model private jet worth 2000 million pounds, and he would take it whenever he went somewhere to attend an event.

If he can really win the first Footballer of the Year award in his career this time, will he also be equipped with one? In the future, will he take a private jet to participate in the Ballon d'Or and truly experience the life of a superstar?

He couldn't help but smile at the thought. This was indeed something worth considering. Since he was going through life again, he naturally wanted to have a more complete experience.

"What are you laughing at?" Isabella sat next to him, took his hand, put it on her back, and hugged her.

"nothing."

Mael didn't tell Isabella for the time being. He suppressed his smile, took a deep breath, and felt a little nervous when he thought about this journey.

Will it be this time?
More than 4 hours later, the plane landed at Agadir International Airport in Morocco. The group got on a business car and went directly to the hotel.

Maher also met Mendes here. His first question after meeting was: "Will Ronaldo attend the awards ceremony? What about Messi?"

"Ronaldo will come." Mendes confirmed this first, then shook his head and said, "I don't know about Messi. We have to wait for relevant news."

Maher nodded slightly, the pressure in his heart intensified again, and asked: "Is there any relevant news that has been exposed? Do you think highly of me?"

Mendes still shook his head, "I don't know yet. After all, there is still one day before the awards ceremony. There should be more news from various channels tomorrow, and we can make a judgment then.

"However, the UEFA awards ceremony is different from the Ballon d'Or, and the winners are rarely leaked in advance.

"I guess tomorrow's news can only be used as a reference. The final result will definitely come out on stage."

After saying this, Mendes looked at Maher meaningfully and said, "This is also the reason why Melo and Melo will most likely attend this awards ceremony together. They don't know the result either, so they have to come to the scene to confirm it."

Maher nodded, then suddenly raised his head and smiled, "Mr. Mendes's hidden intention is, are you optimistic about me? And do you think this could be a Shura battle between the three of us? Whoever wins will be embarrassed for two of us?"

Mendes stared at Maher, not knowing how he heard it. After a long pause, he smiled and said, "Yes!"

"European Cup champion + 3 club championships, a total of 4 championships in the year."

Maher murmured as he came to the window, looking at the road sections downstairs of the hotel that were gradually being sealed off, feeling the upcoming event, "I hope I won't be disappointed. This is the first important honor in my adult life."

Sometimes the closer he gets, the more nervous he becomes. Last time he attended the more prestigious Golden Globe Awards, he didn't have any psychological fluctuations, at most he felt a little awkward.

But this time, as the time got closer, he became more and more nervous.

Not only was he afraid that he would be disappointed, he was also afraid that Isabella, who accompanied him to the ceremony, would be disappointed, and that the team members who came with expectations would be disappointed.

"You'll get it sooner or later anyway, so don't stress yourself out."

Mendes noticed Maher's abnormality, walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder, "Keep up this performance, I promise you, you will win three UEFA best player awards in your career."

“Haha.” Maher laughed and joked to ease the mood. “But what I hope most is to win the championship again starting from this year, and win it as many years as I play in the future.”

The smile on Mendes' face froze, but he was already accustomed to Mahel's shocking remarks.

It depends on tomorrow.
