After Paris Saint-Germain was removed from the list, I led England to victory!

Late at night, Lin Jianwei was still working overtime on the bed with her computer.

Yan Yuan had just finished showering and was drying his hair.

Suddenly, the system gave a prompt.

[Championship Points Calculation: 2018-2019 Season...]

"This system is really something. Why did it take so long to settle my championship points? I thought it was going to renege on its promise," Yan Yuan complained.

The system has completed its calculations: points for last season's quadruple title win, UEFA Nations League title win, individual honors, UEFA Super Cup, Community Shield...

All of these together.

[Currently available points: 170850]

More than 170,000 points!

This is an enormous fortune that would drive anyone who knows of the system's existence mad.

Two years ago, if Xiao Yan had seen such a massive amount of points, he probably would have been so excited that he couldn't sleep all night. He would have rushed into the system's skill shop and acquired all those superstar skills that he could only look up to on TV before, such as the Cruyff turn, Beckham's free kick, and Ronaldo's knuckleball. He wished he could master all the skills overnight and become an invincible football monster.

But at this moment, the 19-year-old didn't show much elation on his face; instead, he wore a sweet vexation.

His fingertips slid across the virtual screen, browsing through a dazzling array of player skill cards.

From attack to defense, from dribbling to shooting, from conscious physical ability, it encompasses almost every top-level ability imaginable on the football field.

Many skill icons are lit up, indicating that the user has mastered or partially mastered them; many skills are still grayed out, waiting to be unlocked with points.

However, when Yan Yuan's gaze swept over these names and icons that had once captivated him, his heart was unusually calm.

He even sighed softly and muttered to himself:

"Sigh, to be honest, with so many points... it seems like I don't know where to spend them."

Yan Yuan was not in Versailles.

He doesn't really need star player skills anymore.

Most of his current skills are copied from those of star players, as well as some personal skills he has developed himself.

Furthermore, Yan Yuan will not get injured.

He basically no longer needs to spend points.

Nagelsmann's meticulous coaching, his own daily hard work, and the crazy accumulation of match experience have gradually shaped his unique football style, which belongs to "Yan Yuan".

Yan Yuan no longer deliberately pursues becoming "the next so-and-so".

He is now walking a path that is uniquely his own and unprecedented.

These points, if used to redeem more skills, might enrich his arsenal.

However, the marginal benefits have been greatly reduced.

In fact, the sheer complexity of his skills might have hindered the purity of his style and his ability to make split-second decisions on the court.

This is just like a top chef.

Seasonings are indeed important for chefs.

But what truly determines the quality of a dish is...

It's about the ingredients themselves and the chef's understanding of cooking time and temperature, rather than simply piling on spices.

"System," Yan Yuan asked in his mind.

"I feel like... I'm not so eager to exchange for new star player skills anymore. I have more and more points, but I don't know how to use them effectively."

Are we just going to let them pile up like this? That's such a waste.

The system interface flickered slightly, and the usually calm and neutral electronic voice paused for a moment.

Subsequently, the system posed two questions that seemed unrelated to the current points consumption, yet directly addressed the deepest issues in Yan Yuan's mind:

[Question 1: Host Yan Yuan, after you end your playing career and officially retire, are you willing to transition into a football coach and continue to carry on your football philosophy and passion on the sidelines?]

[Question 2: Assuming you have children in the future, would you want them to inherit your footballing spirit and pursue a professional football career? Do you look forward to seeing your children compete on the same pitch, in some form, someday?]

These two questions.

Like two heavy hammer blows, they struck Yan Yuan's heart.

Yan Yuan instantly snapped out of his agonizing decision about how to use the "present" points, his thoughts drifting to the more distant future.

He closed his eyes and began to think seriously.

"Will you become a coach in the future?"

This idea had actually been brewing in Yan Yuan's mind for a long time.

From Nagelsmann's tactical board to Wenger's earnest teachings.

Then there's his own experience as captain on the field, constantly thinking about how to mobilize the whole team, read the game, and crack the opponent's tactics.

All of this made Yan Yuan very interested in the role of "coach".

His inherent competitiveness goes far beyond simply winning everything as a player.

He longs to share his football philosophy, understanding of the game, experiences of success, and even lessons of failure with more people, to build a team that bears his mark and continues to conquer the field in another dimension.

The feeling of strategizing and building a team was extremely attractive to him.

"Yes," Yan Yuan answered affirmatively in his heart.

"I hope to become a top coach after I retire. It may be more challenging than just playing football, but it will also be more fulfilling."

Next, Yan Yuan thought of the system's second question, about children.

A blurry yet heartwarming image surfaced in his mind: a little boy with features resembling his own, wearing tiny soccer cleats, stumbling and chasing a ball on the grass, then excitedly rushing towards him…

This sight made the corners of his mouth involuntarily turn up.

Although he and Xiaolin are not engaged yet, it is too early to talk about marriage and children.

But what if we actually have children in the future?

Would Yan Yuan want his child to play football too?

The answer is yes.

Football gave him glory, dreams, and even the opportunity to change his destiny, and also allowed him to experience extreme emotional fluctuations.

He loves this sport, and if his own children also like it, he will do everything he can to support and guide them.

Even... a somewhat "crazy" yet incredibly alluring thought welled up within him:

If I have a son in the future, and I can compete against him in an official match at the end of my career, what a wonderful and precious experience that would be!

It's not just about competing on the same field.

Even more so, like Simeone and his son, Yan Yuan could become the head coach for his son.

Just thinking about it filled him with immense anticipation and excitement.

"Yes," Yan Yuan answered firmly again, this time with a hint of a smile and anticipation.

"I really hope that I will support my child in pursuing his football dream, and if possible, I look forward to the day when I can fight alongside him."

The moment Yan Yuan gave a clear answer.

The system interface suddenly lit up, emitting a soft yet hopeful light.

The electronic voice sounded again.

[Host's explicit intention received. System function expansion module activated... Analyzing... Upgrade preparation complete.]

Based on the host's plans for future career and family succession, the system will make the following major updates and provide guidance:

[Update 1: When the host Yan Yuan officially announces his retirement and ends his professional playing career, this system will automatically switch modes.]

The [Player Interaction System] has been upgraded to the [Head Coach System].

At that time, all the star player skill cards currently in the store will be automatically converted into corresponding [Skill Training Packs].

The host can use points to redeem training packs to improve specific abilities of the players they coach. Simultaneously, powerful coach-specific features such as tactical simulation, player potential assessment, and accelerated injury recovery will be unlocked. Your points will become your most valuable resource throughout your coaching career.

Yan Yuan's eyes lit up instantly!

Coaching System!

This means that every point he accumulates now is an investment in his future coaching career!

Points are no longer useless numbers, but have become the cornerstone for building a championship team in the future.

However, the next system update left him breathless.

[Update 2: A new ultimate item has been added to the shop: [Player Replica Legacy] (This item is unique and can only be purchased once).]

A new icon radiating a mysterious golden light slowly appeared at the very top of the store.

The design depicts an adult passing a shining star to the silhouette of a small figure, conveying a sense of inheritance.

Product Name: Star Player Replica Legacy

[Effect Description: Host Yan Yuan can actively choose one direct bloodline descendant (limited to one) to perfectly and irreversibly copy and pass on all the football attribute growth potential, all the active and passive skills he has mastered, and the host's top-level understanding of football (such as football IQ, game reading ability, etc.) that he has acquired through the system and through his own training.]

The inheritor will receive the same starting point in football as the host.

Price: 3,000,000 points.

Three million points!

Yan Yuan stared at the astronomical figure, his pupils contracting slightly.

That's almost twenty times his current points!

But he quickly calmed down and began to calculate rapidly in his mind: based on his current rate of gaining points.

Huge rewards for winning major championships, and a steady income from daily match victories, training, and breaking records...

If he can maintain his peak performance for more than ten years.

Accumulating three million points is extremely challenging, but not impossible.

And at that time, if everything went smoothly.

Yan Yuan's child should be around 7-10 years old.

This age is the perfect time to start receiving systematic football training!

This timing is perfect.

"Three million points...more than ten years..." Yan Yuan muttered to himself, his eyes not only undeterred by the astronomical price, but also burning with an unprecedented fighting spirit.

Previously seemingly useless points have instantly transformed into valuable resources for two grand plans:

One is his own coaching legend, the other is the most precious gift of talent in the world, given to future children.

Yan Yuan no longer felt that points were a burden.

Instead, they started to "dislike" that they weren't accumulating points fast enough.

"That's great. Now I'm earning points for my future and for my son."

Yan Yuan took a deep breath and closed the system interface.

He walked to the window and looked at the London night sky.

"Coach...and legacy..." he murmured the two words.

The road ahead is still long, but the lighthouse ahead is already incredibly bright.

Yan Yuan now has a new goal.
