Good positioning is an indispensable ability.
This attribute directly reflects a center forward's goal-scoring instinct and off-the-ball movement!
Inzaghi, the legendary striker who once dominated San Siro for AC Milan,
was often criticized by outsiders for having "no speed, no physicality."
However, it was precisely his extremely keen goal-scoring instinct
and unpredictable positioning and off-the-ball movement that allowed this seemingly unremarkable center forward to dominate an era at Serie A giants AC Milan!
"Beep—!"
Ye Lingfeng snapped out of his thoughts and turned to look at a message on his phone.
It was a group message from a La Masia Youth Training Camp assistant coach.
"Tonight's training will include a practice match to select three players for the Barça B Team, to play in the Segunda División this weekend?"
"And the opponent is Castilla? Real Madrid's second team??"
"Segunda División, huh…"
Ye Lingfeng's eyes lit up.
He knew that
for players from La Masia Youth Training Camp,
to one day play for Barça,
they must pass through the Barça B Team!
This is a progressive sequence.
Even the golden generation of La Masia, like Messi and Xavi,
could not directly jump from the youth team to the first team.
The Barça B Team is an essential step!
And tonight's practice match
might just be an opportunity to advance to the Barça B Team!
To prepare for joining Barça in the future!
Before he had the system,
Ye Lingfeng was still able to earn the U17 Youth League Bronze Boot through a certain level of talent and La Masia's training.
Now with the system's enhancement,
and possessing a bug-level skill like Infallible in the Box!
Ye Lingfeng was confident that
at this moment, the Youth League was no longer a challenge for him!
Standing out in tonight's practice match should not be difficult!
"The main quest has a time limit of only one year, I need to make the most of my time."
"The first black gold treasure chest already yielded such an overpowered skill, I really look forward to what the second one will open up…"
Ye Lingfeng stretched, then flipped out of bed.
Suddenly, there was a gentle knock on the door.
Su Qianqian's voice came from outside the door.
"Lingfeng, are you awake? I've made breakfast!"
Ye Lingfeng was surprised at first.
The nanny had gone home for the holidays, but… it seemed another nanny had arrived?
Shaking his head with a smile, Ye Lingfeng pushed the door open… Next to Camp Nou stadium.
La Masia Youth Training Camp.
At the entrance, shuttle buses picking up boarding students for school had already started departing one after another.
Even La Masia students, like normal teenagers, receive regular public education.
All courses, exams, and promotions
are completely consistent with public schools!
And as the strongest youth academy in the world,
La Masia's daily training time is only two and a half hours!
Training is usually scheduled after the day's regular school classes and after-school tutoring.
It typically starts around five in the evening.
At this very moment,
on the high school group's bus,
La Masia students were chatting… (Activity Period: January 21st to February 5th)
Chapter 8: La Masia's Asian Faction? Japan's Talented Youngster? The Arrogant Kubo Takefusa! (New book, asking for fresh flowers, review votes, monthly tickets)
It can be seen that, aside from some white-skinned and black-skinned students,
a corner of the carriage was almost entirely occupied by several figures with yellow skin and black hair.
Like a small team,
they conversed closely among themselves,
maintaining a certain distance from the other European players.
This is the famous 'Asian Faction' of La Masia Youth Training Camp.
It is mainly composed of young players from Japan and South Korea.
The reason it is famous is not because Asian players are particularly sought after at La Masia.
It is purely because this group is somewhat cliquish!
Aside from training, they rarely participate in group activities.
They often act alone.
And leading the Asian Faction… is naturally the 'Messi of Japan,' who has been quite renowned in Asia recently.
Kubo Takefusa!
Japan's talented young player!
He was scouted by Barça at the tender age of thirteen.
He has now been studying at La Masia for three years!
It can be said that, after Shinji Kagawa,
Kubo Takefusa has become the next object of worship for Japan's fans!
He has countless fans in Japan!
Even many female idol groups from Japan have come to Spain to perform, drawn by his fame!
"Kubo, I envy you! When you go to the Barça B Team, don't forget to introduce us to Mr. Sacristán!"
"To be able to play in the Segunda División at this age, you are the first Asian! When Son Heung-min was your age, he was still an unknown at the Hamburg Youth Training Camp!"
Several South Korean players said enviously.
The "Brother Son" they referred to was, of course, Son Heung-min, who had just joined Tottenham from Bayer Leverkusen.
The idol of all South Korean fans.
The newly crowned Asian number one after Shinji Kagawa!
"Heh heh, don't worry, I'm sure I'll be selected for tonight's practice match, but if you guys work hard, you might even get a chance to be on the roster!"
Kubo Takefusa enjoyed being the center of attention, and he said proudly with a raised corner of his mouth.
When he heard that the Barça B Team coach was going to pick a few people from La Masia
