The night after the match, Hoffenheim's training ground was already quiet, with only a few lights still on.

After returning to his dormitory, Yan Yuan casually tossed his backpack onto the sofa, took a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator, and gulped down a few mouthfuls.

The sweat had long since dried, but the fatigue in the muscles was still clearly visible.

He opened his laptop, skillfully pulled up the game video, put on his headphones, and began to review his performance that day.

This is a habit he developed when he was 12 years old in the Birmingham youth training program: no matter the result of the game, no matter how well or poorly he performed, the first thing he always did after the game was to review it.

His coach at the time told him, "You must review the game within 12 hours after it starts, because your memory is clearest within those 12 hours, and the review will be most effective."

He kept those words in mind.

This is also why Yan Yuan was later selected by Paris Saint-Germain's youth training program. He was the only one who persisted with this habit at the time, and the biggest benefit it brought him was an improvement in his football intelligence.

The image on the screen froze on his incredible shin-to-spin dribble past the defender.

He slowed down the camera, watched it several times, and frowned slightly.

The move was indeed beautiful, but it was also very risky. If Veljkovic on the other side had reacted a little faster, or if the force of his own lower leg when he touched the ball had been slightly off, the ball could have flown directly out of bounds, or even been intercepted and used for a counter-attack.

He gently shook his head and wrote in his notebook:

"While dribbling moves are visually appealing, their practicality needs improvement, and high-risk moves should be reduced."

Then, he replayed Gnabry's goal.

That cross was indeed precise, but he noticed that he could have passed the ball earlier. If he had made a low cross into the penalty area instead of taking an extra step to draw the defense, Gnabry might have had a better shooting angle.

He felt the pass wasn't very good when he was on the field, but thankfully his teammates were great.

He wrote: "Passing time can be more decisive, reducing unnecessary dribbling."

More than half an hour later, after reviewing all the key shots, he closed his laptop, closed his eyes, and let out a long breath.

"System, check your physical condition."

The system interface within his body popped up automatically, and lines of data visible only to him appeared in his field of vision:

[Physical Condition Assessment]

Overall fatigue level: Moderate

Mild fatigue in the right quadriceps muscle (estimated recovery time: 12 hours)

Slight tightness in the left ankle (mild fatigue)

Physical fitness reserve: 67% (average)

Yan Yuan nodded slightly.

Today's match was quite intense; he played the entire game, but his physical condition after the match was better than he expected.

He opened the system shop, browsed the recovery items, and checked his points balance. He currently had 4126 points, which he had accumulated through training and competitions.

The system interface displays:

[Resume Training Option]

Basic Customized Recovery Training (800 points/session): Provides a personalized basic recovery plan for minor fatigue or injury, accelerates muscle repair, and prevents potential injuries.

Intermediate Customized Recovery Training (5000 points/session): Suitable for muscle tears, joint inflammation, and premature aging of bodily functions. A personalized plan is developed, and the recovery speed is 50% faster than the beginner level.

Advanced Customized Recovery Training (20000 points/session): Designed specifically for major injuries such as ligament rupture, fracture, Achilles tendon rupture, etc. It develops a personalized plan to maximize the repair of damaged tissue to 98% of its pre-injury state.

Yan Yuan chose basic recovery training.

800 points is just the right amount; he has accumulated enough for now.

After confirming the purchase, the system checked his body again, and after a while, a detailed recovery plan immediately appeared in his mind:

1. Ice application + light stretching (15 minutes): Focus on relaxing the quadriceps muscle in the right leg.

2. Low-intensity water jogging (20 minutes): Use the buoyancy of water to reduce joint stress.

3. Deep massage with a fascia gun (10 minutes): Target the tight area of ​​the left ankle.

4. Protein supplements + electrolyte drinks: Accelerate muscle repair. (The required weight will be provided later.)

This system is truly comprehensive; it not only offers customized plans but can even provide post-race nutritional supplements down to the gram.

Looking at the remaining 3000 points in the points column, Yan Yuan couldn't help but click on the skill he had always dreamed of—"Green Field Steel Body" (100000 points).

Once activated, this skill can permanently prevent sports injuries, making it a "get-out-of-jail-free card" for professional athletes.

But the price is outrageously high, and at his current rate of accumulating points, he will have to play for at least several more years.

"Sigh, just look at it for now, I'll buy it someday," he muttered to himself, and shut down the system.

After shutting down the system, Yan Yuan was about to close the computer.

For some reason, the computer screen suddenly switched to a screen featuring a sexy white "big" woman.

This woman wasn't wearing much, but it was definitely large, and it was also see-through.

Yan Yuan is, after all, a young and impetuous man, and moreover, he had just finished a competition today, so he was indeed quite hot-tempered.

After thinking for a moment, Yan Yuan couldn't bear to close the computer screen. He swallowed hard and asked.

"System, may I use the catheter?"

"This behavior slightly consumes protein and produces a large amount of dopamine; the host chooses to do it."

Do you have any recommendations?

"none."

"Okay, I'll find it myself."

In Hoffenheim's dormitory, a young pilot is taking off.

……

The second day was a rest day after the match, and most of Hoffenheim's players chose to catch up on sleep at home or go out to relax.

Yan Yuan had taken off once yesterday, so he slept until eight o'clock today before getting up and going to the club's recovery training room.

Physical therapist Maximilian was tidying up the equipment when he saw Yan Yuan push the door open and raised an eyebrow in surprise: "Yan? What brings you here? Today is your day off."

"My muscles are a bit tight, I'd like to do some rehabilitation." Yan Yuan smiled and put his backpack aside.

Maximilian nodded and handed him a towel. "Do you need me to help you with your standard recovery process?"

"No need, I have my own plans." Yan Yuan said, walking towards the ice pack machine, skillfully adjusting the temperature and time, and applying the ice pack to his right leg.

The physical therapist looked at him with interest: "Who designed this recovery plan for you? It seems quite professional."

"It was my agent who helped me find the therapist," Yan Yuan replied without changing his expression; this was an excuse he had prepared long ago.

Maximilian didn't ask any further questions, simply shrugging: "Okay, call me anytime if you need anything."

For the next two hours, Yan Yuan strictly followed the system's recovery plan.

While jogging in the water, he felt the gentle massage of the water flow on his muscles; the vibration of the fascia gun gradually dissipated the tightness in his left ankle; finally, he drank a high-protein shake according to the system's prescribed weight to replenish the lost energy.

Thinking back to the older sister from last night, he still savored the feeling.

"Once I get my goal bonus this week, I'll definitely buy a better cup. Oh, and my lubricant seems to be almost used up..." Yan Yuan set himself a small goal.

In this respect, Yan Yuan can be considered self-disciplined, but it is a different kind of self-discipline.

Male athletes who achieve fame at a young age rarely manage to control their sexual desires, and many even end up in scandals because of it.

Yan Yuan's self-discipline in this regard is reflected in his willingness to do things himself rather than seeking help from inappropriate people.

By noon, he could clearly feel his body lighten; the fatigue in his right leg had almost completely disappeared, and his left ankle was no longer tense.

The system recovered even better than he had expected.

Maximilian walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "How are you feeling? Any better?"

"Much better," Yan Yuan said with a smile, stretching his right leg.

Maximilian gave Yan Yuan a comprehensive re-examination, and the results were excellent. Compared to his usual condition, Yan Yuan's physical functions had indeed fully recovered.

"Your recovery plan is indeed very good." The physical therapist nodded.

When Yan Yuan walked out of the training room, the sun was shining brightly. He looked up at the sky and took a deep breath.

Self-discipline and a systematic approach are his greatest weapons, and today's recovery is just one of the insignificant preparations he is making for the next game.
