Football: He suffered a broken leg at the start of the game, but partnered with Haaland!

Chapter 9: This kid has a ton of flaws, but his talent is undeniable.

The second attack.

Sun Yang got the ball again.

This time, the opponent clearly didn't want him to continue comfortably sending long passes.

Four people surrounded them.

The attacking midfielder blocks his turn, the defensive midfielder presses him head-on, the winger blocks the outside, and the center-back pushes directly into midfield.

This is to put him in a cage.

Haaland has started to drift wide, preparing to attack behind the center-back.

Everyone thought Sun Yang would pass the ball.

This time, however, Sun Yang did not pass the ball immediately.

That impulse surged up in his chest again.

Last night, in the dream training ground, Batistuta's powerful shot exploded in my mind again.

Look up towards the goal.

Press down on the ball.

Don't be afraid of being knocked away.

Those who are afraid of flying will never be able to unleash a powerful cannon.

Sun Yang moved the ball forward.

We took too big a step.

Kramer's expression immediately changed.

"Oh no, he's been greedy."

The teaching assistant also frowned.

"This choice is unreasonable; Haaland has already gone off track."

Haaland, in a panic, shouted from the front, "Pass it! I'm open on this side!"

Sun Yang did not pass the ball.

He knew Haaland was out of the game.

They also knew that passing the ball at this moment would almost certainly create another one-on-one opportunity.

But he didn't want to be just the one handing out the knife forever.

He also wanted to blast the goal open himself.

He pressed against the person opposite him from behind, and his shoulder bumped into him hard.

Sun Yang's body swayed, and he almost lost his balance.

If it were an average young player, this would basically be the end of them.

But he practiced monkey shows since he was a child, and he is best at finding balance in the face of imbalance.

He stomped his right foot on the grass, twisted his waist and abdomen forcefully, and squeezed half a body length between the two men.

Not pretty.

He was even a little disheveled.

But that's enough.

At the edge of the penalty area, a defender stretches out his leg to block.

Sun Yang's eyes hardened, and he swung his right leg up like a fully drawn bow.

boom!

The football was violently struck away.

There were no fancy tricks.

There is no curve.

It's hard.

The ball was moving very fast, skimming along the grass as it went.

The goalkeeper reacted quickly, but the ball had already darted past him and into the goal the moment his hand went down.

The net jerked violently.

The training ground fell silent for half a second.

Then, the Yellow Team's bench erupted in chaos.

Holy crap!

"That kick was brutal!"

"Didn't he almost get hit and sent flying? How could he still swing it?"

Haaland's eyes widened, then he laughed even harder.

Kramer opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything for a long time.

In the distance, Favre finally stepped forward.

The assistant coach, standing beside him, whispered, "That kick had a bit of Batistuta's style."

Favre did not boast.

He sees things more clearly than others.

Sun Yang's shot was truly frightening.

But he also saw another side to this attack.

Sun Yang did not choose a more reasonable pass.

His dribbling wasn't steady enough, and his movements became distorted after physical contact. The fact that he was able to shoot was due to both talent and a bit of risk.

In a youth team training match, this was a hero's ball.

In a Bundesliga match, this could mean losing possession due to a counter-attack.

On the court, Sun Yang stood still, his chest heaving violently.

He could feel his thighs aching, and his lungs felt like they were filled with fire.

That last attack took much longer than the one in the Dream Training Grounds.

In reality, there is no unlimited physical strength.

Reality won't give him any clean footing.

The system voice sounded in my mind.

[A prototype of Batty GO has been successfully replicated in real life.]

[Barty's GO proficiency increased to 3/100.]

[Shooting attribute increased: 50 → 53.]

Sun Yang almost burst out laughing.

I practiced all night, and in my dream I was scolded by Batistuta to the point of questioning my existence.

In reality, I worked myself to the bone just to get 3 points of proficiency.

System, you're really stingy.

But he still smiled.

Because he knew that this path could be followed.

Haaland ran over and put his arm around his shoulder.

"What's your name?"

Sun Yang took a couple of breaths.

"Sun Yang."

"Sun? The sun?"

"You can also call me Sun Wukong."

Haaland didn't understand.

Sun Yang switched to English.

"Monkey King".

Haaland grinned widely.

"Alright, Monkey King. That pass was just what I wanted, and that shot just now was pretty crazy too."

Sun Yang glanced at him.

"Are you praising me, or do you want me to keep passing the ball to you?"

"Yes, we have them all."

Haaland is not pretentious at all.

"From now on, you pass the ball to me, and I'll be responsible for scoring goals. If we do this together, we'll definitely win big."

Sun Yang shook his head.

"No."

Haaland paused for a moment.

Sun Yang raised his hand and pointed towards the goal.

"I want to score too."

Haaland was taken aback at first, then laughed even louder.

"Okay, let's score together then. But if you had passed that ball to me earlier, I could have scored too."

Sun Yang replied, "Then run even harder next time, until I feel like I'm missing out if I don't pass to you."

Haaland patted him on the back.

"Yes, Monkey King, you have a temper."

As the two were talking, Favre had already walked up to Kramer.

"who is he?"

Kramer immediately handed over the documents.

"Sun Yang, a youth team player recently released by Arsenal. Nineteen years old, of mixed Asian and Chinese descent. His profile says he can play both midfield and second striker."

Favre flipped through the documents and then looked at Sun Yang on the field.

"Was it due to Arsenal terminating his contract?"

Kramer nodded.

"I heard it's a risk of injury. He broke his leg before, and the medical report said the injury was very serious."

Favre looked at Sun Yang.

That powerful shot just now didn't look like it came from an injured player.

But he won't let two good shots go to his head.

"How are you feeling?"

Cramer is telling the truth.

"Their physical strength is relatively weak, their first touch is inconsistent, and their ability to make continuous sprints needs to be assessed. The defensive issues are quite obvious; their counter-pressing awareness after losing possession is slow, and their positioning is not professional enough."

The teaching assistant added a sentence.

"But his passing talent is incredible. It's not just about good footwork; his vision is top-notch. He can see the forwards' lines in advance, and he dares to play deep and also attack the weak side."

Favre nodded.

That's exactly what he saw.

Sun Yang is not a fully developed product.

It is still far from mature.

But some talents cannot be hidden on the training ground.

A player who can deliver such a through ball under pressure is worth a small risk for Dortmund.

Moreover, Haaland is already interested in him.

Sometimes, a center's preference for a particular pass is more direct than a coach's report.

Favre turned to look at the teaching assistant.

"Notify Zorc and the team doctor. Give him a full medical checkup."

The assistant coach asked, "If the medical exam goes smoothly, is it a youth team contract?"

Favre did not answer immediately.

He glanced at Sun Yang again.

Sun Yang was bending over, holding his knees and panting, clearly his stamina was starting to drop.

Haaland was still saying something on the side, as if he wanted Haaland to pass the ball a few more times.

Sun Yang looked up and glared at Haaland.

Haaland laughed even more heartily.

Favre suddenly found the scene rather interesting.

A center who was starving.

A number 9.5 whose passing accuracy is outrageous, yet he insists on shooting himself.

If handled well, this could be a surprise weapon for Dortmund's attack.

If it's not adjusted properly, it will be a tactical failure.

Favre spoke.

"It's not a youth team contract."

The teaching assistant was taken aback.

Kramer also looked at him.

Favre spoke calmly.

"Give him a contract as a young first-team player. Don't pay him too much, control the risks, but give him the authority to train."

Cramer couldn't help but remind him.

"Lucian, he only played for ten minutes, and he has quite a few shortcomings."

Favre nodded.

"I know."

He looked at Sun Yang on the field.

"His physique isn't strong enough; he struggles to handle the ball under pressure. His defensive discipline is also lacking. In first-team training, he gets a lot of trouble from Delaney and Witsel."

"But his vision, his anticipation of passes, and his courage to move forward are what we need right now."

"Some players, you only need to watch them for ten minutes."

"Not because he's perfect."

"It's because his strengths are unique enough."

Kramer paused for a moment, then nodded.

He agreed with those words.

Even geniuses have flaws.

Geniuses have a lot of flaws, but as long as they have one extraordinary ability, they can change the course of a game, which is why you can't bear to let them go.

On the training field, Sun Yang heard his name called and looked up.

Favre was looking at him too.

Their eyes met across half the court.

Favre said, "Son, you'll train with the first team tomorrow."

Haaland whistled beside him.

"Monkey King, congratulations. But let me warn you, the guys in the first team won't be this polite as they are today."

Sun Yang looked at him.

"You'll be polite?"

Haaland was very serious.

"I'm only polite to the people who pass me the ball well."

Sun Yang smiled.

My chest is still burning.

My legs are sore.

But his heart was beating faster and faster.

he knows.

My chance has come.

Favre continued, "But let me make this clear first. You're not a Bundesliga player yet; you've just earned your ticket to prove yourself."

Sun Yang stood up straight.

Favre continued, "In tomorrow's first-team training session, I want to see your receiving, pressing, off-the-ball positioning, and the quality of your passing after continuous sprints."

"If you can only make one or two good passes, that's not enough."

"If you can survive in the true first-team rhythm..."

He paused for a moment.

The entire training ground fell silent.

Favre concluded by saying, "I'll take you to the Bundesliga away game against Augsburg this weekend."

"There's a spot for you on the bench."
