After the match against Liverpool—
The entire Arsenal squad took the team bus to the airport,
then flew back to North London.
After another round of celebration back at the club,
that night—
Kai returned home.
His phone rang soon after. It was Mendes.
After a pause, Mendes continued:
"I've just understood the situation. Yes, we'll wait and see for now!
Since you're unhappy with the current England coach, let's see if the FA has the sincerity to make a move."
"That aside, leading England does present a huge opportunity!
England has always underperformed in major tournaments—
they badly need a savior. This is your chance to build a legacy that's truly your own."
"And the platform that England provides can boost you even further!"
"This country is a football powerhouse—
you've earned the love of countless fans here.
All that support will become your strongest backing when you take the reins of England."
"Of course, it's all up to you to decide."
Mendes, as always, put Kai's best interests first:
"But we must wait to see if the FA shows real sincerity."
The call ended.
Kai returned to his room.
After showering, he went through his usual system rewards routine.
Following the match against Liverpool—
He first received a god-tier card.
"Another 'Guaranteed Free-Kick Goal' card?"
Kai frowned slightly.
His set-piece stats were already maxed out!
But then, something else caught his eye—
For this post-match reward, he unlocked a brand-new system feature:
Card Reforge Tool!
Kai checked the description.
This function lets you recycle unused god-tier cards to reforge them into something new!
The reforged result could be attribute points, star player loot boxes, or other special rewards.
Without hesitation, Kai threw in the newly obtained "Guaranteed Free-Kick Goal" card,
along with a previously earned "Unlimited Dribbling" card.
His dribbling stat had already reached the maximum—
the dribbling card was now obsolete too.
Soon—
The new reward was generated!
+10 Unlimited Attribute Points!
Kai's eyes lit up.
This was a fantastic reward!
These points ignored stat caps and could be added directly to any attribute!
He had earned this once before, and used it to boost his dribbling from 90 to the max level.
Kai looked at his attribute panel.
He first maxed out his stamina:
[Stamina: 94 → 100!]
Full stamina!
He instantly felt a surge of energy rush through his lungs, pulsing through his limbs and bones!
Maxed-out stamina—
combined with his injury immunity trait…
Kai had become a true iron man of football—
a player who never tires!
From this moment on—
He wouldn't need any kind of rest rotation.
He could play every match, back to back, with no fatigue or risk of injury!
This was the dream of almost every footballer!
Now, he could fully devote himself to piling up stats,
breaking records, and leading from the front!
Looking again, Kai still had 4 attribute points left.
After a moment of thought, he allocated them to Speed.
[Speed: 86 → 90!]
Now, his speed had broken the 90 threshold too!
Speed—
Another crucial factor in dominating the pitch!
Endless stamina
Explosive pace
Maxed-out dribbling, passing, and set-pieces
Kai's eyes gleamed with fire!
In just over one season,
his attribute panel had grown at an explosive, unbelievable rate.
And as he fully revealed his brilliance in the football world—
The entire sport was beginning to feel the seismic impact.
Countless challenges awaited him in the future!
Whether it be cup titles at the club level,
or the European Championship and World Cup at the international stage,
along with an endless stream of personal honors—
every day ahead was worth chasing with relentless ambition!
After the match against Liverpool—
All of European football erupted into a storm of heated discussion!
The fans' amazement wasn't only about Arsenal's astonishing 10-match winning streak…
The real shock came when they looked at the Premier League leaderboards after 10 rounds!
After 10 rounds of the Premier League:
Kai had scored 25 goals, firmly at the top of the Golden Boot race!
Even more outrageous—
on the assists leaderboard...
He had already recorded a staggering 28 assists in just 10 matches!
That was nearly 3 assists per game!
As the new record holder for most assists in Premier League history,
he was still pushing the record higher every time he played.
Each game meant raising the bar again!
Fans went wild.
The Premier League has 38 rounds in total!
They couldn't even imagine how absurd Kai's stats would look by the end of the season.
A commentator from Sky Sports boldly stated:
"Before long, every single record in English football will be written with Kai's name!"
All of Europe's football world was in an uproar!
And during this period—
A major event rocked English football.
Roy Hodgson, the then-head coach of England, was dismissed!
The English FA released an official announcement:
Hodgson had been relieved of his duties as manager of the England national team.
The fanbase exploded!
English fans were confused about what this meant.
Why sack the national team coach right before next year's European Championship?
But many also understood why…
Hodgson had already faced widespread criticism last season when managing Liverpool.
Not only were players unhappy with his methods—
but even coaches abroad had things to say.
Before the match—
Frank de Boer, then manager of Ajax,
used the media to send a bold message:
"Last season, we won the Eredivisie title for the first time in seven years!
The Ajax that once conquered Europe is back!"
"We possess the world's number one talent production academy.
In this upcoming match, we'll unleash an unstoppable youth storm at the Long Stadium!"
The moment he said that, all of European media jumped on the hype!
They lit up with excitement.
Another team made up of talented youth was stepping into the spotlight!
Both Arsenal and Ajax were globally recognized for their youth development systems.
And this Ajax squad—
Their heritage included four Champions League titles,
earning them the title of a true European giant in their heyday.
The world outside was once again caught up in a storm of buzz and anticipation!
