The template of Madoka Kaname: I rose from adversity to the summit.

The recent packed schedule has significantly reduced training time.

This made Yuan Meng worry. If he couldn't play in the competition and the training time was short, he wouldn't be able to improve his proficiency.

At first, he thought about doing extra training, but Tuchel set a strict time limit, saying that extra training could not exceed one and a half hours, which made him feel restless.

Moreover, individual training is less efficient than team training, making the coach's guidance crucial.

Praying to gods and Buddhas is not as good as praying to the God of Perfection!

He simply spent 100 points to redeem a Madoka Magica figure and placed it together with a Madoka Magica body pillow.

Remaining points: 100

"Goddess Madoka, please bless me so I can get some playing time!"

Yuan Meng clasped her hands together in a devout manner.

Surprisingly, it actually came true!

The starting lineup has been announced, with the formation changed to 4-2-3-1, and Yuan Meng starting as the right winger.

"Holy crap, Yuan Shen is awesome!" Yuan Meng exclaimed in surprise as she looked at the posted list, attracting curious glances from those around her.

"It's just one start, is it really that big of a deal?" Dembele shook his head with a smile. He didn't have this problem. His name would always appear on the roster, the only difference being whether he was a left winger or a right winger.

"Deng, you don't understand. Your dream is to go to Earth, but my dream is to be the starting player for a top team."

"Hasn't your dream already come true?"

Yuan Meng disagreed; he had his own guesses.

"The opponent is the weaker Ingolstadt. The boss is making a tactical rotation to give Pulisic a rest. That must be it!"

Dembele shrugged, turned and walked away, leaving only one sentence behind.

"The next German Cup match, what's the point of rotating players?"

Yuan Meng disagreed, believing that his performance was not enough for Tuchel to give up on Pulisic. He needed to keep working hard, and starting in the next game would be an opportunity!

The day before the match, Tuchel approached Yuan Meng to discuss the match arrangements. Yuan Meng and Pulisic had slightly different roles and responsibilities.

"Yuan, do you know why I put you in the starting lineup?"

Yuan Meng nodded emphatically, her eyes brimming with an all-knowing confidence.

"Boss, no need to say more. Let Pulisic rest well. There's no need to send out your best players to crush a weak opponent."

Perfect timing! This will allow me to boost my stats and have a backup plan. Even if I fail to secure a starting position, I can still be loaned to another strong team to continue developing my skills.

Of course, Yuan Meng didn't say this aloud.

Tuher stroked his chin, looking at the incredibly confident Yuan Meng before him, unsure of what to say.

I really don't know if he has a clear understanding of his own position or if he's lost his fighting spirit after being a substitute for so long.

Yuan Meng spoke first.

"Boss, you're starting me, so you must want me to strengthen the defense. Just tell me, who do you want me to mark? I'll make sure he has someone hanging on him the whole game!"

"Uh..." Tuchel was at a loss with Yuan Meng, so he had no choice but to go along with him and say, "Mark Zutner, their attacking left-back."

"That's it?" Yuan Meng waved her hand dismissively. "How is that enough? I've even marked their winger!"

"..."

Tuher was speechless. "You should at least leave Piszczek something to do."

However, he didn't want to undermine Yuan Meng's confidence.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you."

Before we knew it, it was October 22nd.

Borussia Dortmund will play Ingolstadt away from home.

Reus was not included in the squad, but he has already entered the individual rehabilitation phase.

He is very familiar with the recovery process for his knee injury. This injury is not serious, and he will be able to return to the team in two weeks.

However, he is very worried about the team's recent performance. As a loyal follower of Dortmund, he has always put the team first.

Yuan Meng, who was warming up, suddenly heard a notification sound.

[Temporary mission has been activated]

[Royce's concerns]

[Borussia Dortmund is in trouble, and Reus is very worried about the team's situation. Please help the team achieve a third consecutive Bundesliga victory and stabilize the team's points.]

[Reward: 2 times Royce's favor]

[Change the target for "learning from others"?]

Yuan Meng decisively clicked "Yes".

[Learning from the target: Royce]

This is a great opportunity. He was worried that it would be difficult to gain Reus's favor, but he didn't expect that helping the team would be the biggest favor he could do.

It seems that the judgment of human relationships varies greatly depending on the objective.

For example, Dembele, helping the team is not a favor to him, but helping him score points is.

"Great news! Huge good news! Yuan Shen is back in the starting lineup!"

Xie An has changed the title of his live stream to "Yuan Shen conquers Tuchel and returns to the starting lineup".

This title attracted a large number of fans to watch the game.

"To be honest, we don't even need the 'Book of Answers' today. With Yuan Shen starting, Dortmund is guaranteed to win!"

[Thank you, step down. Please present the Book of Answers!]

How can a puppet talk?

The Book of Answers is the true essence!

Xie An relented and took out the Book of Answers.

"Dear Book of Answers, can Yuan Shen dominate the game if he starts? Will Dortmund be able to secure the victory? Please enlighten us!"

It may bring about change.

"That's obvious!"

[A tattered book!]

This book is unusable; I've caught Xie Hai's influence.

"We've come to watch the game."

"Stadt has fielded a 4-1-4-1 formation; it seems they want to go toe-to-toe with Dortmund."

"This is a do-or-die tactic!"

"Stadium's coach, Kauczsky, is very decisive."

"Unfortunately, his opponent is Yuan Shen, who is starting!"

Yuan Meng was very excited today and immediately locked down the opponent's left-back, Zortner.

Last night he had memorized the player's characteristics: his crosses were very accurate, but his ball protection and control needed improvement.

Isn't that a coincidence?

When you encounter a full-back like this, just keep him marked!

Yuan Meng was secretly pleased. No wonder Tuchel started him in the first place; it was to limit Stadt's strong flank.

As expected, Stadt's attack was concentrated on the left flank, which happened to match Dortmund's right-wing player.

Yuan Meng and Piszczek are both very good defenders, and Stadt, who seemed to have the upper hand at home, quickly ran into trouble.

Difficult to pass the ball!

Left with no other option, Stadt made a slight adjustment, dropping one of his central midfielders back to help organize the attack, and stacking some players in midfield in an attempt to create opportunities for penetration.

Kauczsky was certain that Pulisic would start, which is why he focused his attack on the wings and conducted targeted training before the match.

This results in fewer training sessions for midfield attacks.

In the 24th minute of the match, Yuan Meng assisted in pressing, causing a passing error.

The ball veered off course and headed towards the space between Castro and Bernardo.

Stadt's defensive midfielder Bernardo almost cursed out loud, but he suppressed his anger and fought for the half-goal.

Castro successfully poked the ball to the wing before Bernardo could react.

Right-back Piszczek controlled the ball steadily and advanced forward.

At the same time, Dortmund's attacking players began to push forward.

Piszczek played a through ball before pressing the player into position.

That was a clever pass; taking advantage of Yuan Meng drawing away the full-back, the ball was passed into the flank space.

Castro received the ball at the flank and played a one-two with Yuan Meng, who was tucking in, before reaching the top of the arc.

"Castro selflessly passed the ball!"

"Yuan Shen cuts inside and curls a shot without stopping the ball!"

"Sword energy traverses thirty thousand miles, a single sword's light chills nineteen provinces!"

"Yuan Shen unleashes his curved blade, curling a shot into the far corner of the goal!"

"Dortmund leads 1-0!"

[Anthony's long-range curling shot]

[Proficiency: 15→25 (Mastery)]

Silky smooth! So silky smooth!

Yuan Meng excitedly rushed towards the away fans' section and completed a passionate knee slide.

After the celebration, he did not forget to point to Castro, who had delivered the brilliant pass.

This pass was perfectly timed; Yuan Meng had just run into position when the ball was at her feet, requiring no adjustment and avoiding the center-back at the same time.

"Did you all see that?!"

"This is Yuan Shen's strength!"

"Tuchel has finally discovered who his savior truly is!"

[The sage suddenly repented and proved capable!]

[A historic reconciliation!]
