Team Spirit

Chapter 123 (Seeking Full Subscription) I've met many geniuses, and they all call me a genius.
Since both Ribery and Valbuena were free agents, Dartford did not spend a single penny on them.

However, Lu Kai still gave these two players official recognition, and Dartford officially announced the signing of the two Frenchmen, which made the two players extremely excited.

They called their families and told them to log onto Dartford's official website. Only after seeing the transfer news did their families believe they hadn't been tricked into going to the Myanmar store.

However, these two transfer rumors have also brought trouble to Dartford.

BBC: "Picking up trash in England wasn't enough for Lu Kai, he actually went to France to pick up trash! Two amateur players, Lu Kai's four plane tickets are destined to be unreimbursable!"

The Times: "Yordl MLS? Dartford's new signings Ribery and Valbuena successfully team up with Ashley Young, forming the Green Guns' Yordl Big Three!"

Sky Sports: "Dwarf Kingdom, Dartford! Goblin Home, Riverside Stadium! Swill Farm, Green Arsenal!"

The Echo: "Datford have completely fallen apart in their efforts to renovate the stadium! After making over £20 million in profit during the transfer window, they've spent only £20,000 on new signings so far!"

Manchester Evening News: "The Gunners are all equally disappointing! The Reds' biggest signing this summer was Gilbert Silva for £4.5 million, showing no Champions League ambitions! The Greens' biggest signing this summer was Joe Hart, now they're just waiting to be relegated!"

Major media outlets have concluded that Dartford and Arsenal are both being dragged down by their new stadiums!

Dartford is burdened with debt and is no longer the carefree single young man he once was.

Arsenal are preparing for a mid-career reshuffle, but they also need to consider future expenses. Moreover, in order to lighten their load, they abandoned their own youth academy players, resulting in these players frequently returning to seek revenge after growing up elsewhere.

In short, infrastructure investment is not the way to go; finance is the true path!
Ribery and Valbuena felt guilty because of these reports.

They dragged Green Gun down.

But Lu Kai told me not to take it to heart and to let him take responsibility for it.

In an instant, the image of a good club leader who shelters the players from the wind and rain is vividly portrayed.

Two dwarfs from France, their story evokes tears of warmth.

After successfully convincing the French dwarfs, Lu Kai rushed into the city and headed to London.

Although the Arsenal and Dartford duo has become a disgrace to England's transfer window.

But there's always someone better.

In front of Lu Kai, Arsenal will always only be the GOAT!

This summer, at Arsenal's training ground, there was a mouthful of swill that Dartford would gladly accept!
……

Boom boom boom!
"Sir, are you looking for me?"

A handsome, 1.9-meter-tall Black teenager pushed open the office door.

Wenger nodded, a warm smile spreading across his face. "Yaya, have a seat. Chloe, quickly pour your brother a cup of coffee."

Kolo Touré stood up and exchanged a glance with his brother Yaya Touré. The sorrow in their eyes made Yaya Touré feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

For the next while, Yaya Touré's mind was in a constant state of flux.

He wouldn't listen to a word of Wenger's praise.

Wenger: "Your performance these days has been remarkable. You played very well in yesterday's friendly, although you missed one chance."

Translation: You missed a golden opportunity.

Wenger: "You have the same physique as Vieira. I see his shadow in you, but you still need to hone your skills."

Translation: Aside from body shape and skin color, you and him have nothing in common, and your technique is terrible.

Wenger: "You have to believe in yourself, you will definitely become an excellent player."

Translation: But Arsenal don't believe you.

Wenger: "I think playing more games is a better option for you at this stage."

Translation: You're not getting opportunities at Arsenal, you can leave.

Wenger: "In fact, I strongly urged the transfer department to buy you, but they brought up the work permit issue with me, which was a fatal problem. It's a systemic issue, not your problem."

Translation: For your brother's sake, I'll give you a dignified reason for breaking up. This is your problem, not the system.

Wenger: "Don't be discouraged, kid. Once you get your EU green card, that might be the time for you to join Arsenal. We're all looking forward to that day."

Translation: Okay, you can go now. We probably won't see each other again.

Yaya Touré had no idea how he left Wenger's office.

He numbly packed his things in the dormitory, tears streaming down his face.

Kolo Touré came over to help him tidy up, unsure how to comfort his younger brother.

Touré currently plays for Belgian club Beveren as a substitute midfielder, and has only scored one goal in a season.

Asking him to score a goal in a single game for Arsenal is really asking too much of him.

He is tall and strong, and when he comes off the bench, he usually helps the team defend. He has little experience in offense and lacks the various small skills required for offense.

But he really is learning.

If Wenger is willing to give Yaya Toure some time, perhaps...

Yaya Touré packed his bags and prepared to return to Belgium.

London, after all, was not a place where poor Ivorian children like them could find a foothold. He...

“Hey!” Lu Kai called out to Yaya Touré.

He was sitting in a BMW X5, Daniel's new car, which he bought specifically to transport tall people.

"Going to Dartford?" Lu Kai rolled down the car window.

Yaya Touré didn't even turn her head: "I'm not going on vacation, thank you."

Kolo Toure looked at the person in the car and felt that he looked familiar. Could it be... the leader of the arch-rival team!

Noisy!
Daniel immediately turned the steering wheel and blocked Yaya Touré's path.

This kind of "rich guy cutting off other cars" behavior is truly disgusting.

If Yaya Touré hadn't dodged, he would have been hit.

“Datford is a football club that plays in League Two. I am the person in charge of the club, and I am very optimistic about your potential. I would like to invite you to join us,” Lu Kai said briefly. “By the way, we have European competition qualification.”

Yaya Touré, who was about to explode in anger, instantly calmed down: "European competition? English League Two? At least check your stuff before you write it. Do you think those two words will end up together?"

“I’m not some unsophisticated player; my brother Kolo Toure is an Arsenal first-team player.”

Kolo is the pride of the Toure family.

"Hello, Chloe, it's nice to see you again." Lu Kai greeted Chloe Touré, who had followed him.

The two sides faced off in the FA Cup earlier this year.

Kolo was substituted on by Wenger during garbage time.

Yaya Touré was stunned. Could this be true?

He looked at his brother, Kolo, who nodded and then pulled Yaya Toure aside: "This club is nicknamed Green Arsenal, and its relationship with Arsenal is complicated."

"They are incredibly popular, rising six levels in three years, a true legend in England's lower leagues."

"If you can join them, it will definitely attract Arsenal's attention. It will be much easier to transfer over then."

"They have several players joining Premier League teams this summer, and Mr. Wenger has praised several of them, saying that they almost signed them."

Yaya Touré understood what her brother meant.

To make a decent career, a Gunner needs to have some green!
Dartford, let's go!
“No, but I can’t get a work permit.” Yaya Touré had overlooked a problem before, but Wenger pointed it out to him today.

Lu Kai smiled slightly: "That's no problem! Get in the car, let's go to Dartford for a few days first!"

Yaya Touré opened the door and got into the car.

Daniel floored the accelerator and nearly collided with an Audi coming out of the parking lot.

"You idiot, don't you watch where you're going?" Daniel rolled down his window and cursed before speeding away.

In the Audi, Wenger, who was driving, frowned and muttered, "Is that Lu in that car? Who's in the back seat? They look kind of familiar."

……

Riverside stadium convenience store.

Looking at Yaya Touré playing on the training field, Alfred said with a face full of doubt: "The French pair of short players have really good footwork, and their ball control is even better than Ashley Young's."

"Although there are other shortcomings, they can be cultivated."

"But this big, clumsy guy seems to be lacking in everything except his physical abilities?"

Lu Kai smiled but said nothing.

Alfred viewed Yaya Touré from the perspective of a defensive expert, because he considered Yaya Touré to be a defensive midfielder.

But in fact, this guy's playing style is more offensive; he's like Zhang Fei, all embroidery-like.

He has considerable talent in this area; offensive skills can be developed through practice, he just hasn't started practicing them yet.

The same goes for shooting; his 47-yard long foot makes his shots extremely stable, and he can easily curl the ball around with the instep.

“The main problem now is the labor certification,” Emily said. “If that can’t be resolved, the deal can’t be done.”

Jiang Mengyun shook her head: "It's almost impossible to solve unless Toure achieves something in the national team, but... of course, there's growing dissatisfaction with work permits in English football right now."

"If a very prominent person were willing to come out and criticize, perhaps some changes could be made."

"But then again, who would be willing to be the first to stick their neck out?"

In English football, there are only two people with this kind of energy.

One is Arsène Wenger of Arsenal.

One is Sir Alex Ferguson of Manchester United.

At that moment, the BBC news came on TV: "Special report: Manchester United will miss out on Brazilian new international Kaká this summer."

"The work permit has become the biggest obstacle to bringing in this outstanding young man!"

"Kaka, whose real name is Ricardo Izecson Do... is known as Little Lu Kai!"

Alfred immediately turned to Lu Kai: "So, this is why you asked me to recommend Kaká to Manchester United?"

This summer, Lu Kai specifically instructed Alfred to do one thing.

That is to recommend a promising young player, Kaká, to Ferguson through Casey.

This player is incredibly talented and will surely be able to take over from the Red Devils and lead the Manchester United dynasty forward.

His playing style is very similar to Lu Kai's 100-goal season.

Although his appearance is not as good as Lu Kai's, it is no less than Beckham's. He can take over the endorsements after the departure of the heartthrob Beckham and ensure Manchester United's commercial value.

Manchester United have been plagued by Real Madrid for the past two years, with the latter repeatedly trying to entice Beckham. It is obvious to everyone that the departure of the number seven from Manchester United is inevitable.

This is not only the will of Victoria Beckham, but also the will of David Beckham. Two different people can't sleep in the same bed.

Beckham simply couldn't express it.

Casey recommended Kaká to Ferguson for the sake of his heart health, which indeed made Ferguson happy for a while.

Unfortunately, the work permit was a real problem, almost sending Ferguson to the hospital in frustration.

The direct consequence of Manchester United's failed attempt to sign Kaká was that São Paulo became desperate for him and raised their asking price.

AC Milan, who had already been paying attention to Kaká, became fully alert and will definitely use drastic measures to acquire the Spanish Luka next year.

Manchester United will never have a chance.

The biggest difference between Ferguson and Wenger lies in the intensity of their emotions.

Ferguson's temper was even more intense, often causing him to erupt in fury over a player's brilliance or a near-miss signing. This very volatile temper made his teams more competitive in crucial moments, as everyone feared the old man's wrath.

Wenger remained calm, even amidst numerous unfavorable draws, he simply smiled. At crucial moments, the team always seemed to fall just short.

Even twenty years later, he still couldn't catch his breath.

Sky Sports: "Ferguson angrily denounces the work permit system, saying the Premier League has missed out on many super talents because of it, and often has to spend tens or even hundreds of times more to make up for it!"

The Sun: "The gap between England's senior and youth teams is obvious! The latter have won the World Youth Championship and the European Youth Championship! The former were unfortunately eliminated in the quarterfinals of the World Cup! The reason is actually this!"

The Times: "The lack of real talent challenges in all levels of English football is hindering the rise of England's superstars! They are struggling to break free from their cocoons and become butterflies!"

BBC: "FA Executive Committee member Joyce proposes improvements to the work permit bill – a special talent clause!"

"The Voice of Green Guns": "Datford publicly supports the special talent clause! Hoping for a better England football!"

Subsequently, major Premier League clubs voiced their support for the bill.

After all, who wouldn't want to spend a little money to buy top-quality foreign stars?

With everyone working together, the special genius clause was quickly approved in principle.

Dartford was then the first to apply to invoke the clause.

The whole of Britain was in an uproar.

Everyone wondered who the first club would use this clause, but no one expected it would be Dartford.

It's not that I look down on Dartford, but the special talent clause is not something that ordinary clubs can handle.

Its nature is very similar to a letter of introduction from an American university.

It's purely based on connections.

Completely irregular.

The bill has just been proposed and the relevant details are not yet complete, so it mainly relies on the review system.

That is, Dartford's speech, praising how excellent this player is.

If the judging panel agrees with what you said, then it will pass.

If what you say is incorrect, it won't pass.

The judging panel is very professional and would never casually bestow the title of genius upon an ordinary person.

Unless they have received a large amount of "consulting fees" in their accounts.

Of course, if the guarantor is authoritative enough, then these juries will have no choice but to yield.

For example, if Ferguson and Wenger wanted to sign a certain player, the jury would most likely be unable to object.

However, the club still needs to take action, including making connections at all levels.

While Dartford has Alfred, nicknamed "Green Gun Ferguson," a coach who possesses both Wenger's ability to develop young players and Ferguson's perfect on-field command, Dartford lacks the influence of these two renowned managers.

Therefore, Alfred couldn't handle the hearing regarding Harry Potter's alleged use of magic to harm someone.

But Dartford doesn't have any other Dumbledores anymore.

The night before the hearing, Yaya Touré received a phone call from her brother.

"Hey, bro, how's it going?" Yaya Touré asked nervously.

He glanced at Amorim, who was fast asleep beside him.

This was Ashley Young and Amorin's bedroom, but Ashley Young was still recovering from his injury, so Yaya Touré moved in instead.

On the other end of the phone, Kolo's voice was full of regret: "The professor said you should focus on playing well in Beverly Hills, and your special talent hearing is unlikely to pass."

Yaya Touré exclaimed incredulously, "Why? Lu told me it would definitely pass. If Lu can find a way, how can Wenger not?"

Kolo stammered for a long time.

The answer is obvious.

Lu Kai has a way, whether he really has a way or not, at least he thinks so.

But Wenger... clearly wasn't willing to expend so much of the club's energy on a mediocre player like Yaya Toure.

Yaya Touré, realizing what had happened, was furious: "How...how could he lie to me?"

"He never liked me from the beginning, did he?"

Silence gave Aya the answer.

After hanging up the phone, Yaya Touré cried sadly.

He thought Wenger was a good person.

Unexpectedly, it was Wenger who told him, "You are the good person."

Unbeknownst to Yaya Touré, Amorin, on the other bed, was making a fuss with his eyes darting around.

CIA agent Amorim is on standby!
Amorin: Let me explain, the full name is "Zhongguo Football Club Emotional Report Dinner Dartford Staff"!
The next day, Lu Kai and Yaya Touré went to the hearing.

Yaya Touré was depressed and nervous.

He knew he would be rejected once again.

Moreover, it was an official denial.

He's not some exceptional genius; Wenger has already made that conclusion.

"Yaya, be optimistic." Lu Kai patted Toure on the shoulder. "I have full confidence in this hearing."

“Even if I haven’t heard of it, I will still persist in appealing. I can ask Ferguson and Wenger to corroborate your story. You had a trial at Arsenal and Wenger gave you his approval; he will definitely help you…”

Yaya Touré's emotions exploded instantly: "No! We won't ask anyone else!"

“Lu, I don’t know if I can join Dartford, but if I’m lucky enough to become a Gunner, I’ll stick with him all the way!”

To hell with Arsenal!

Wenger and Lu Kai's attitudes made Yaya Touré realize the difference between a scumbag and true love.

Scumbags always have nice words to say.

But only those who truly care about you are willing to spend their time, energy, money, and even their dignity on you!

He could never finish singing about the kindness of Lu Zhuxi!
Soon, the hearing dealt a huge blow to Yaya Touré.

The Labor Department's review panel came prepared.

As the first applicants for the Special Genius Clause, Yaya Touré and Dartford will pay the price for challenging the authority of the Department of Labour!
You dare to do what even Ferguson wouldn't?

Although Lu Kai also invited Alfred and Chloë Touré to attend, allowing them to each give a compliment on Yaya Touré.

But the Labor Department's review panel countered by pulling up all of Yaya Touré's game footage, statistics, performance, and evaluations from Beveren: "If a player like that can be called a genius, then genius is far too cheap!"

This summary brought Touré to tears at the hearing.

His dark face turned bright red; this was truly humiliating!
It's important to know that this hearing was broadcast live across the entire UK.

The Labor Department is making an example of someone to deter others!
Only when people realize how difficult it is to apply for exceptional talent will the major clubs understand how much money they should give to the judging panel.

Western secret technique: creating cards out of thin air!

The host then gestured for Lu Kai to speak.

Lu Kai stood up, cleared his throat, and said to the judges, "What champion are you?"

???

There was a moment of stunned silence at the scene.

People in front of the television were stunned.

What is Lu Kai saying?
This is a hearing, what does it have to do with the championship?
Lu Kai pointed to himself: "In the past three years, I have won fourteen championship trophies."

"Twelve club trophies, two England youth team trophies."

"More than thirty individual awards, including the Ballon d'Or, Golden Boy Award, Best Player, Golden Boot, and Assist King!" The judge couldn't help but interrupt Lu Kai: "Excuse me, of course I know how outstanding you have been over the past three years. If Dartford applies for a special talent clause for you, then we agree."

"But now it's Yaya Touré's hearing."

"I don't know what the point of you saying all this is."

Lu Kai smiled: "The significance is that in the entire English football scene, European football scene, and even world football scene, there is no more talented young player than me."

"Perhaps there were some five years ago, like Ronaldo and Owen."

"But now, it's my time. Awards, statistics, actual combat and championships speak for themselves."

"Therefore, I believe that no one in English football is more qualified than me to judge whether a young player is a genius!"

"If a genius like myself considers Yaya Touré a genius, then he must be a genius!"

The jury was stunned.

Because Lu Kai's theory is...flawless!

People nodded in agreement in front of the television.
"Yes, Lu is right!"

"Although it's outrageous, I can't refute it."

"Geniuses are more qualified to comment on geniuses than others, because they are the same kind of people."

"Geniuses compete with each other, and the one who understands you best is always your enemy. Lu's statement is correct."

"The championship is everything, and Lu has already proven who's the real champion!"

"Lu brought England two championship trophies, and what about these damn judges? They even used their power to pay less tax!"

“European and American judicial systems have always followed precedents, and the successful ones always have a greater say, so what Lu Kai said is correct.”

The judges looked very unhappy.

We've met our match.

A female judge stood up: "Lu, I admit you are very good, but in the traditional sense, you are not a true genius. Otherwise, why would Arsenal give you up?"

Lu Kai smiled and said, "If that's how you put it, then I'll have to be impolite."

"Excuse me, ma'am, do you consider yourself beautiful?"

The female judge tossed her hair and said, "Confident women are the most beautiful, and of course I am a beauty."

Lu Kai shrugged at the camera: "Clearly, this woman has such a serious misunderstanding of herself, how can we believe that she can correctly understand other things?"

"A pig that's 160cm tall and weighs 160kg has no connection to beauty."

"Who gave you the confidence to judge who is a football genius?"

"Yes, from childhood to adulthood, no one has ever called me a genius. But every peer I have defeated has been called a genius."

"I even once thought that genius was a slang term for the weak."

The female judge was nearly driven mad. She screamed, "How dare you be so arrogant and discriminatory towards women? You actually said I look like a pig!"

Lu Kai mimicked her gesture: "How dare you be so arrogant and discriminatory towards pigs?"

Female judge: "You called me ugly! You're so malicious!"

Lu Kai: "So you discriminate against people who are ugly?"

The judges' expressions were quite interesting, and they quickly stopped the female judge, otherwise the more she accused herself, the more crimes she would be accused of.

Lu Kai got back to the point: "Of course, it turns out that my view of genius was wrong. Genius is a positive word, especially when people use those two words to refer to me."

"I've met many geniuses, and they all started calling me a genius."

"And now, I am called Yaya Touré the Genius."

Lu Kai finished his speech, and the last picture on his app was a jigsaw puzzle.

The image on the left shows his back as he left Arsenal.

On the right is Yaya Toure's departing figure as he leaves Arsenal.

The two walked side by side.

The picture is titled "Next Stop, Green Gun"!
The audience erupted in applause!
Many people were moved to tears.

Lu Kai and this picture tell two touching stories.

At first, no one thought Lu Kai was a genius.

But now, all geniuses call him a genius.

Similarly, no one called Yaya Touré a genius at first... Based on the pattern, we can conclude that Yaya Touré will also be called a genius in the future.

This is called the Lu Kai Inequality!

Of course, some people also call this picture "Arsenal's Top Picks"!
Toure's experience is so similar to Lu Kai's!
"genius!"

"genius!"

"genius!"

The audience chanted those two words.

The judging panel is under immense pressure.

Ultimately, they had to state: "Datford's evidence is sufficient, and we acknowledge Yaya Toure's talent. He will become the first player to join an England team through a special talent clause."

The audience erupted in applause!

Yaya Touré wept bitterly, embracing Alfred, Chloe, and Luca in celebration, shouting, "I did it! I did it!"

"we are the champion!"

???

There's no way around it; this is the most exhilarating celebration slogan for every football player.

……

Sky Sports: "A prodigy has emerged! Yaya Touré becomes the first player to qualify through a special talent clause!"

The Times: "In the name of genius! Lu Kai decisively defeats Labour Department jury to speak out for Toure, pigs and ugly people!"

BBC: "Labour Department responds to discriminatory remarks made by its reviewer at a hearing: He has been suspended pending further investigation."

Manchester Evening News: "Lu Kai avenged Ferguson, but unfortunately Kaka is gone forever!"

The Echo: "Datford's passage of the special talent hearing means that underdog teams can also share in the fruits of this struggle! Each team has one application slot per season!"

Mundo Deportivo: "No one has ever called Lu Kai a genius, nor does anyone consider him the best among young players!"

Marca: "After the defeat at the European Under-21 Championship, Iniesta said in an interview, 'I have to admit that Lu Kai is the strongest talent I have ever seen!'"

Iniesta was subsequently expelled from Barcelona by fans.

Subsequently, Dartford signed Yaya Toure for a record-breaking £200,000, breaking Dartford's all-time transfer record.

The Green Gun King has emerged out of nowhere!
The price was agreed upon by both parties beforehand, and Beveren did not go back on his word, because Yaya Touré is now completely cheated on.

However, Yaya Touré is unable to play for Dartford immediately.

He was then loaned back to Beveren for half a season by Lu Kai for £50,000, before returning to Green Gunners after the winter transfer window.

During this period, Beveren covered Touré's salary.

Because the Special Talent Clause came into effect after January 1, 2003.

But this period of time was not without significance.

Before Toure returned to Belgium, Lu Kai gave him a manual on midfield attacks.

Let him develop his offensive capabilities.

If a defensive midfielder is suddenly asked to develop his attacking abilities, it would be a disaster for the team.

Rather than letting Toure wreak havoc on Dartford, it's better to let him go and cause trouble in Beveren.

Since Beveren is willing to lend him the loan, it must be because he is short of players and will give Toure plenty of playing time.

This deal, even disregarding whether Toure can be kicked out, is incredibly brilliant.

It was rated as an SSS-level trade by Transfermarkt.

This expressed their respect for Lu Kai's challenge to authority and his victory.

But Diario Sport quickly found an angle to attack Lu Kai: "Lu Kai discriminates against short players! He hasn't spent any money on short players this summer!"

Two hundred thousand pounds for Toure, and twenty thousand pounds for Joe Hart.

The two French dwarfs in front of me.

Ironclad evidence.

Soon, Erik ten Hag, who is 1.82 meters tall, came forward to testify, saying that he is 1.82 meters tall and that joining Dartford did not cost the club any money; in fact, he cost the club £180,000.

Both Beckford (1.88m) and Murray (1.86m) refuted the Daily Sport's claims.

A few crucial days later, another player announced a free transfer to Dartford.

For a time, everyone loved the green gun.

This time, Dartford's newest signing is a familiar face – Alf Haaland.

Haaland made his comeback last year, injuring Lu Kai in a match, but he himself was subsequently forced to leave the game due to injury.

It was initially thought to be a minor injury, but Haaland subsequently returned to the field twice, only to be forced to leave due to injury both times.

It has become almost glassy.

Considering his age and physical condition, Manchester City had a serious talk with him.

I suggest Haaland retire.

The team will hold a ceremony for him.

This saves Manchester City a year's salary, and Haaland won't have to suffer so much.

Haaland initially agreed, but then he remembered Lu Kai.

After communicating with Lu Kai, Haaland abandoned his idea of ​​retiring, reached a settlement with Manchester City to save money and let each other go, and then joined Dartford for free to play for a few more years.

After learning about this, Manchester City fans sent their best wishes to Erling Haaland, hoping he could shine brightly at Dartford in his twilight years... or even in his twilight years!

With this, Dartford's summer transfer window is closed.

Forwards: Ashley Young, Madeira, Akinfenwa, Beckford, Murray, Ribery, Valbuena, Vardy (youth academy)
Many of these wingers could be classified as midfielders or even full-backs, but they are often sold for higher prices if they are marked as forwards.

Midfielders: Lu Kai, Barton, Amorin, Kelo, Daniel, Toure (on loan)

Guards: Duff, Williams, Shore, Williams, Davis, Haaland Sr., Ten Hag
Goalkeepers: Kasper, Joe Hart, Scott
……

Pond Sports Ground, Lu Kai's Office.

"Scott, are you here to see Captain Lu?" Amorin had just come out of the office, holding a few free milk tea coupons in his hand.

It was sent by the Marine Corps.

His last report was not... He was commendable for caring about his teammates.

Scott, holding the printed team roster, said, "Oh, I'll let the team know; the order here is wrong."

“Look, you’re first among the strikers, Madeira is the most senior, then Akinfenwa…”

“Midfielders Lu are first, Barton is second. Although you are young and arrived late, you are highly valued and your playing time is indeed higher than that of Kelow and Daniel.”

"In goal, I should be first, then Kasper, then Joe Hart."

Amorin glanced at Scott, who was explaining earnestly, his expression complicated: "Um, have you ever considered that the order might not be wrong?"

Scott laughed: "Haha, don't joke around, Amorin. The Marines specifically told me to keep an eye on Casper and Joe Hart."

"I'm basically their mentor; they're here to assist me."

Amorim nodded.

It's good that you think of it that way.

In general, when the boss in a company instructs a senior employee to mentor a new employee, the new employee will likely be able to replace the senior employee in no time.

Or they could transform themselves into leaders who are treated like cattle and horses.

Brothers, this is a genuine thumbs up!
“You can’t go in now, Captain Lu is busy,” Amorin said. “I’ve noted down the issues you raised, and I’ll talk to Captain Lu about them later.”

“Go and train them, especially Joe Hart. He used to play cricket, and he has some bad habits that he must correct, otherwise it will affect him for life.”

Scott nodded and smiled, "Don't worry, the second and third gatekeepers I, Scott, train are absolutely reliable!"

Inside the office, Lu Kai was indeed busy.

The new season is about to begin, and the results of last season have been released.

[Ding! You have experienced an epic season and have received your reward:]

【Stride Forward - Silver 2】

[Long Pass Guidance - Silver 2]

【Iron Walls and Fortresses - Silver 2】

[High-altitude operations - Baiyin 2]

[Gravitational Wave Interference - Silver 2]

Marseille Slalom Silver 4

[Rainbow Dribble - Silver: Your ball control is improved. After using this move to dribble past an opponent, your speed, acceleration, passing, and shooting are all increased. However, your chances of being fouled are also greatly increased.]

[Focusing on monitoring individuals to an absolute zero degree]

[Absolute Zero Gold: Defensive capabilities have been significantly improved. The number of man-marking slots per game has been increased to two, but the two players cannot play in the same position.]

Skills are secondary; the season's settlement mainly focuses on attribute calculations.

The attribute bonuses from a season of matches and training will be reflected in this.

Under the allocation rules of the Elite Path, Lu Kai achieved a score of 60 in all attributes, fulfilling the final requirement of the Elite Path.

New player items have been acquired.

Berserker Leggings: Player Item. Increases injury resistance by 1. Slightly increases both speed and movement speed after each time the ball is kicked during a match.

Wearing any shin guard will make it effective.

This item and the Rainbow Cross are a perfect match.

The most easily defeated technical move in the world is the rainbow flick.

Neymar's rainbow flick is even easier to get kicked than the rainbow flick itself.

Lu Kai couldn't believe how fast his speed could increase after a crazy rainbow attack in one race.

In addition, the small amount of damage resistance this item provides is also very valuable.

Lu Kai's damage resistance attribute reached 5, barely reaching the excellent level.

After completing the Elite Path, Lu Kai's system interface turned silver.

His own template has been improved, with a higher ceiling, and various data can continue to be added.

However, ordinary attribute points can only be used to raise attributes up to 75.

Further upgrades require "elite attribute points".

Obtaining a Silver skill will increase your Elite attribute points by one.

Two golden points.

Master Skills (3 points)

Since it's already a Silver template, the quality of skills acquired in the future will be greatly improved.

It's even possible that they could directly unleash a Master skill.

The first master skill that Lu Kai obtained was a gift from the system after he completed the Elite Path.

[The Crescent Moon Knife - Beckham - Master: There's a curve called Beckham; there's a free kick called the Crescent Moon Knife! Your free kicks have a chance to be enhanced with effects such as "Speed," "Greater Curve," "Headshot," "Zero-Angle Goal," "Ten-Point Angle," "Crossbar Buster," and "Flushed Out"]

Leaving aside the special effects mentioned earlier, "ten-tenths angle" means a blind spot area.

"Crossbeam Buster" refers to the fact that hitting a crossbeam increases the probability of the ball bouncing into the net, rather than flying away.

"Flipped out" means that the ball still goes into the goal after being caught.

Both have quite domineering effects.

Beckham is awesome!
This time, Lu Kai's dream is about to come true.

Beckham:???
Lu Kai's overall rating also soared from [Professional Level] to [Top Five Leagues Level] after this round of settlements, which is over 70 points (detailed data will be posted in tomorrow's free chapter).

……

On August 3, at Charlton Athletic's home stadium, which was fighting relegation in the English Premier League, "Cod" fans filled all the seats, waving flags and cheering for the team.

Their opponent is Dartford.

Both teams are located in southeast London, very close to each other.

This is an invitational tournament.

Dartford was invited to be abused.

Charlton paid £300,000 for this.

Aside from all expenses, basically all the ticket revenue from this invitational tournament went to Dartford.

One purpose is to capitalize on Green Gun's popularity, since Charlton called this invitational tournament the "London Derby"!
This is also one of Dartford's ways of monetizing its traffic, by accepting the invitation.

This year is just a trial run; it will definitely be more expensive in the future.

The second point is that Charlton needs to find some confidence against Dartford.

Both objectives have been achieved.

Six to two!
Charlton beats Dartford.

After the match, major media outlets criticized Dartford.

Some people think Dartford got cocky, thinking they could compete with Premier League teams, but they ended up making a fool of themselves.

Some people know that Dartford accepted the invitational tournament for money, and that they harmed the team and fans for financial gain.

Even Alfred wondered if such a crushing defeat, occurring less than a week before the start of the new season, would affect the team's performance.

In response, Lu Kai laughed and said, "If there were no suffering among sentient beings, how would one know the compassionate heart of Buddha!"

Dartford's players can't afford to get cocky!
This also allowed the group of less educated blue-collar workers in Dartford to experience the essence of Chinese-style education.

It's good for them.

Moreover, Lu Kai was "unwell" and did not participate in the match.

So even if the team loses, I won't lose.

If I wave the flag, I'll still be the GOAT Lu!
