Su Feng's mind displayed his current system data.
Name: Su Feng
Age: 17
Height: 186cm
Shooting Ability: 71 (Long Shot: 73, Volley: 70, Header: 68, Curve: 75, Penalty Kick: 68)
Technical Ability: 70 (Ball Control: 74, Dribbling: 72, Ball Possession: 70, Short Pass: 67, Long Pass: 68)
Physical Ability: 68 (Strength: 65, Speed: 71, Coordination: 70, Reaction: 75, Stamina: 59)
Overall Rating: 69
Current Swag Value: 25
Swag Value can be used to draw Player Skills. 20 Swag Value for one draw, 99 Swag Value for five draws, and a Black Player Skill is guaranteed!
The Player Skills drawn with Swag Value are, from highest to lowest, Black, Gold, and Silver.
Black Player Skills are almost all signature moves of world-class players. For example, Beckham's 'Bend It Like Beckham' or Zidane's 'Heavenly Flying Immortal'!
The method of obtaining Swag Value was even more outrageous.
Su Feng needed to consistently play in the style of the 'Swag Brother' Berbatov during matches, delivering excellent performances with minimal running.
After each match, the system would rate his performance on the field and award corresponding Swag Value based on the match's level.
The higher the match level and the higher the Swag rating, the more Swag Value he would naturally receive.
After more than three months of continuous effort, Su Feng had accumulated only 25 Swag Value.
This was enough for one Player Skill draw, but Su Feng felt that he had already successfully secured a starting position in Borussia Mönchengladbach U17 and had a chance to enter the first team.
So he had not used it, planning to save up for the five-draw that guaranteed a Black Player Skill.
But now, he was going for a trial with a new team. If he failed to gain the Head Coach's favor due to less running, it would be a loss.
Therefore, Su Feng decided to do a single draw to his luck.
"Use Swag Value for a single Player Skill draw!"
Su Feng spoke calmly.
Ding! Swag Value Player Skill draw successful!
Drawing system reward, please wait, Host!
A silver-white football outline flashed in Su Feng's mind.
It was mixed with a small number of gold footballs and a very small number of black footballs.
As the speed of the flashing footballs slowed down, a black football image surprisingly appeared in the center of his mind!
Ding! Congratulations, Host, for a successful draw!
Obtained Black Player Skill: Robin Van Persie's Overhead Kick!
Seeing the scene in his mind, Su Feng's eyes immediately lit up!
He didn't expect that his first single draw would directly produce a miracle.
And it was Van Persie's Overhead Kick!
Su Feng was, of course, very familiar with this Player Skill.
This was the signature move of Arsenal's captain, number ten striker Robin Van Persie!
As an artist on the field, Robin Van Persie left behind many spectacular and aesthetically pleasing goals during his career.
The Overhead Kick, in particular, became Van Persie's exclusive skill for defeating opponents, truly astonishing!
If he could acquire this ability, combined with Su Feng's excellent existing abilities, his dominance on the field would become even stronger!
Without a doubt, this made Su Feng's quick search for a new team a certainty.
After reviewing the data, Su Feng suppressed the excitement in his heart. First, he used the money he had saved to find a hotel near the club to stay temporarily, and then he began to use the connections he had accumulated over time to find his next team.
Previously, due to his excellent performance in Borussia Mönchengladbach U17, quite a few teams had expressed interest in Su Feng.
The first and strongest among them was Freiburg, also located in southern Germany.
This was a club that had just dropped from the Bundesliga to the 2. Bundesliga in the 14-15 season, finishing second to last. Although their recent form was sluggish, placing them in the lower half of the 2. Bundesliga, they still had a good chance of returning to the Bundesliga and competing in the Europa League in the coming years.
After a few phone calls, Su Feng successfully arranged a trial opportunity with Freiburg.
This was not difficult for him, having played professionally in Germany for over half a year.
After settling in, Su Feng did not rush to rest. Instead, he still went to a local night club for a football training session different from the norm.
The Swag System could provide a 0.1 point bonus every day, and he did not want his daily training to be affected by being dismissed from Borussia Mönchengladbach U17.
Three days later, in the afternoon.
The June sun in Germany was bright but not hot; the weather was very comfortable.
Su Feng, carrying his luggage, arrived at the Freiburg Youth Team training base, specifically the U17 field.
Dressed in a Borussia Mönchengladbach jersey, he appeared there and successfully met Head Coach Dennis of Freiburg U17.
"Hello, Feng! I am Head Coach Dennis of Freiburg U17. The team's data analyst had noticed you before and mentioned you to me. I didn't expect you to be willing to come here for a trial."
Dennis enthusiastically walked up to Su Feng and shook his hand. "Unfortunately, I didn't see you when Freiburg played against Borussia Mönchengladbach last season, otherwise I would have a deeper understanding of you."
Dennis said truthfully; he had indeed never seen Su Feng play in person. He had only seen data about Su Feng and some online videos from the data analyst.
Su Feng replied with a smile: "It's alright, Mr. Dennis, you will see my performance today."
Dennis nodded, pointed to the side, and said to Su Feng.
"Alright, Feng, go to the side of the field to change your shoes and warm up. Today, the team will have an internal training match specifically for you."
After Su Feng nodded in reply, he walked to the side of the field to start changing his gear.
At this moment, most of the Freiburg U17 Youth Team players also noticed this somewhat conspicuous figure.
"A Yellow Team person?"
"Wearing Borussia Mönchengladbach's clothes? Is he from Borussia Mönchengladbach's youth academy?"
"Can Yellow Team people play football?"
"Don't say that, among the Yellow Team peoplethere are some good players from the Kimchi and Cherry Blossom countries."
Immediately, murmurs arose among the Freiburg Youth Team players.
They held some suspicion towards this new player.
It would be fine if he was from the two countries mentioned, but if someone from another country joined the team, it could affect the team's performance and become a drag on the game.
At the same time, they were also afraid that he would disrupt the team's balance and compete with them for a starting position. No one would feel good about being pushed out of the starting lineup.
Ten minutes later.
Su Feng followed Freiburg's neat pace and began the pre-match warm-up.
During this time, he also felt the hostility of most of the Freiburg players towards him.
However, Su Feng didn't pay any attention to it.
In football, only the strong earn respect.
He felt that with his excellent skills, it would be more than enough to dominate a group of seventeen-year-old kids.
He felt that with his excellent skills, it would be more than enough to dominate a group of seventeen-year-old kids.
Soon, all pre-match preparations were completed. Head Coach Dennis came over with twenty-two team vests and began to distribute the lineup for this trial match, while also introducing Su Feng.
"This is Feng, a player from the Borussia Mönchengladbach Youth Team who has come to Freiburg for a trial. He is from China! Our internal training match shortly will be specifically for Feng."
As Head Coach Dennis finished speaking, the players on the field immediately changed their expressions.
Can China people play football?
Even if they didn't know much about China, they all knew that China was a famous football desert in the world. For so many years, not a single famous player had emerged. This showed how good China's players were?
Dennis came to Su Feng's front.
"I saw in your information that you played as a left winger at Borussia Mönchengladbach?"
"Mm."
"Good, then you will play as the left winger for the Red Team this time, and Balke, you will switch to the Yellow Team."
As he finished speaking, Balke stepped out of his original team, took the Yellow Team jersey, and moved to the other side.
He couldn't help but look at Su Feng a few more times.
Freiburg's commonly used formation in the League was a 4-3-3, emphasizing attacking in the final third, long ball play, strong central defense, and offense primarily relying on three forwards, playing a winger strategy.
Balke, playing as the team's left winger, had good vision and was good at positional play, but his shooting was average, and his crosses were even more difficult to describe, often being the team's weakness.
However, because there was no better winger than him in Freiburg U17, he had remained in the starting lineup for so long.
But Su Feng's arrival made him sense a hint of danger.
If this newcomer's trial performance was exceptionally brilliant, he might face the risk of being kicked out of the starting lineup.
Thinking of this, Balke's eyes became even colder.
Shouldn't he increase the intensity for him now? Let him feel the special attention from a Freiburg senior?
The subsequent distribution was exceptionally simple: apart from Su Feng, all other players in the Red Team were Freiburg U17's main starting members.
The Yellow Team naturally consisted of substitute players, plus Balke, who had been replaced from the starting lineup.
"The Red Team will use our usual 4-3-3 formation, maintaining the same match strategy: long ball play and winger tactics."
"The Yellow Team's formation is a 4-5-1 Christmas Tree formation. Because the overall strength is a bit weaker, you will focus on defense and primarily play counter-attacking football. Balke will be the team's sole center forward!"
A few minutes later, the entire lineup was finalized. Head Coach Dennis gave a few instructions, then had the players take their positions on the field, ready for kickoff.
"Beep!"
After both teams' players were ready, Head Coach Dennis blew the whistle for the first half, and the Red Team initiated the central kickoff, beginning their first round of attack.
