We made you the King of Prisoners, and now you've become the King of Football?

"Beep~ Beep—Beep!"

With the final whistle blown by the referee, the match between Monaco U19 and Saint-Étienne U19 came to an end.

Even after Monaco came from behind to win 2-1, the two teams still engaged in several intense offensive and defensive exchanges.

But in the end, the score remained unchanged.

Jiang Ming supported himself on his knees, panting heavily.

"How long have I been playing? 30 minutes? Or 40 minutes?"

He came on as a substitute and the game ended in less than half a game.

He was completely exhausted, and his calves even showed signs of cramping.

"Looks like I'll need to take more walks before matches from now on..." Jiang Ming murmured.

Just then, the system's cold, mechanical voice echoed in Jiang Ming's mind.

[Ding! Congratulations on completing the mission objective: Create a goal in this match]

[You came on as a substitute in this youth team match and scored one goal and provided one assist, officially announcing the return of the football prodigy to the world!]

[Reward: Gym Boost Card *1]

[Gym Boost Card: Increases gym-related bonuses by 100% for 72 hours after use]

[Note: You said you felt sore after your leg workout. Did you work your legs? You probably did...]

"A gym membership card?" Jiang Ming was embarrassed.

What's the use?

Other systems reward players with a specific module.

What do you mean by maxed-out vision and maxed-out physique?

Is he a gym VIP?

And who knows if it will leave your head pointed after use...

He can't let his face, which rivals Beckham's, be ruined by this!

Frederick stepped forward and patted Jiang Ming on the shoulder.

Jiang Ming snapped out of his daze and looked at his coach with a puzzled expression.

Frederick originally wanted to give the young players a warning, urging Jiang Ming to work harder and try to retain his position in the team.

But then, thinking about Jiang Ming's performance in this match, she closed her mouth again, which she was about to open.

After a long silence, he finally managed to squeeze out, "Kid, you did alright this time, it wasn't a waste of time."

He then turned and left, leaving Jiang Ming with a dashing silhouette.

Jiang Ming was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and followed his teammates back to the locker room.

As the best football app in China (42).

Dongqiudi (a Chinese sports betting platform) is trending at the top today.

This is all because there are several highly anticipated matches scheduled for tonight, and fans in the community are already hyping them up, creating an unprecedented level of excitement.

The top-level clash between Juventus and AC Milan, and the Premier League showdown between Liverpool and Manchester City.

Of course, the most talked-about match was the Spanish El Clásico between Real Madrid and Barcelona at the Bernabéu Stadium.

Many fans were surprised to find a very strange news item pinned to the top of the green app's homepage while browsing the forum.

A Monaco U19 youth team match.

How could a youth team match that nobody pays attention to make it to the top of the homepage?

Is the editor acting crazy again?

The news was even accompanied by a sensational headline: "Chinese youngster Monaco U19 star shines! Comes off the bench, scores a goal and provides an assist to turn the game around!"

The last time someone used a headline like this was five months ago: "Zhang Xizhe scores a hat-trick! Wolfsburg thrashes Paderborn 3-1 away! Secures Champions League qualification!"

Are you kidding me?

The young Chinese player can't even get playing time in his own league.

What kind of competition is Monaco U19?

The youth teams of the top five European leagues are a stage where players can compete with the best youth players in Europe.

Especially for teams like Monaco that place great emphasis on youth development.

It's fake, absolutely fake.

When the fans clicked on the post and saw the text and video highlights, they fell silent.

"That precise pass, that effortless kick, that skillful shoulder drop dribble, that technically demanding chip shot..."

"You're saying this kind of player is one of our young talents in China?"

Curious fans immediately searched the entire internet for information about Jiang Ming.

Without exception, there were no records.

They don't even have a record of appearing in the smallest community cup, the Flip Garden Community Cup.

Not to mention the professional youth teams of the Chinese football club.

Could it be that Jiang Ming is a fictional character? Just like some of the super-powerful demons in FM.

However, Jiang Ming is indeed listed on Monaco's U19 registration list.

Finally, some busybodies couldn't stand it anymore and used some mysterious power to find out about Jiang Ming's information.

Jiang Ming is 17 years old, of Chinese descent. His parents passed away at a young age, and he ventured into the French football scene alone, where he was signed by Monaco and included in their U19 team.

Some fans admired Jiang Ming's experience, while others remained skeptical about the story's veracity.

Tonight, Jiang Ming's popularity on domestic football apps remains high, second only to the key matches of the top five European leagues.

……

The next day.

The U19 team doesn't have a break, mainly because their position in the team isn't that important.

Therefore, Jiang Ming still had to attend training on time the next day.

"Jiang, your physical condition looks quite worrying."

The assistant coach held a tablet in his hands, looking at Jiang Ming's astonishing training data on the screen.

Jiang Ming's speed and endurance both plummeted after just one lap around the track.

I can't run at top speed for more than ten seconds before I'm exhausted, and when I stop to catch my breath, it takes me two minutes to catch my breath.

In particular, the speed is very slow.

Are you sure 15 seconds for 100 meters is the speed of a young player?

This speed is even slower than that of university students in a major Eastern country!

The assistant coach was completely numb.

The only good thing about Jiang Ming is his coordination.

At least they can remain flexible enough to perform some basic technical movements.

However, Jiang Ming's personal skills are top-notch.

Key statistics such as passing success rate, long pass success rate, and dribbling success rate are all among the top in the U19 team.

The assistant coach even doubted that Jiang Ming's technical ability had reached the requirements of the top league.

When Frederick learned of this data, he was thrown into a state of chaos.

Can one person have such a big contrast?

The skill level is completely disproportionate to the physical condition!

Ultimately, the reason can only be attributed to the fact that he had just recovered from injury and his body had not yet recovered, so he still needed to adapt.

"Jiang, you'd better not run around outside anymore. Your technique is good, but your stamina is terrible..."

So Frederick waved his hand and sent Jiang Ming to the gym to spend his time with the treadmill.

Jiang Ming stood in front of the treadmill, looking at the "Gym Boost Card *1" notification on the system panel, and then rubbed his sore thighs.

"Alright, I'll practice then." He sighed and pressed the use button.

"I can't possibly keep kicking with this prison king's body for the rest of my life."

[Ding! Quest triggered: The Elf Resurrection Plan - Phase One]

After recent matches and training, you've realized your body has been ravaged by alcohol and sex, and your condition is no longer what it used to be.

To better prepare for future competitions, you decide to improve your physical fitness.

[Mission Objective: Run a cumulative total of 100km]

[Reward: Stamina +10]

Just as Jiang Ming finished using the gym bonus card, a similar task to the one he had just activated the system popped up again.

"I've run a total of 100km..." Jiang Ming was on the verge of tears.

He struggles to run 1km now; he'd die if he tried to run 100km!

Moreover, judging from the task requirements, the distance he walked during the competition cannot be counted as the running distance.

Why can't this Luo Ge be as disciplined as that Luo Ge in his professional career?
