Looking at the stamina of only 72 on the system panel, Fly couldn't help but shake his head.

It's still too low!

This time, Fly continued to add the advanced soft rice points he obtained to Explosiveness. The value of the Explosiveness attribute has now reached 98, just one point away from the maximum level of 99.

Jumping also reached 92 along with it.

The intermediate soft rice points were added to Ball Control, bringing the latter's value to 86, just 3 points away from the upper limit of 89 for intermediate soft rice points.

If he can complete another mission, Fly can temporarily add it to the phased full score.

In addition, by showing affection with Taylor multiple times and using Taylor's bank card for various purchases in the past two months, Fly successfully obtained 300 primary soft rice points.

In other words, Fly can directly add 3 points to his stamina, bringing the value to 75.

But Fly wouldn't do that because it would be an extreme waste!

He can feel that his current stamina has not yet reached the limit of this body.

Fly can also strengthen it through training.

Since that's the case, how could he possibly use system points?

System points are only useful when solving problems that he cannot solve himself.

Since stamina can still be self-strengthened, Fly naturally wouldn't give up the opportunity to improve himself.

Only when his stamina truly cannot be strengthened further will Fly use system points to boost it.

.....

For the next half month, Fly was completely immersed in self-training and couldn't extricate himself.

Apart from calling Taylor every day and caring for each other, Fly repeatedly did only four things: eating, drinking, sleeping, and training.

Fly's dedication directly stunned the other Arsenal players who had not been called up for national teams.

Especially Griezmann, since coming to Arsenal, he has only made two appearances.

It can be said that he is the one among the four new signings with the worst situation.

There's not much to say about Varane; as soon as he arrived at the club, the starting player in his original position was out for the season, and the starting spot fell from the sky.

Then he scored the winning header in a crucial match against Chelsea, basically solidifying his starting position.

Even if Vermaelen recovers from injury and returns, he can only start from the bench.

Although Hazard doesn't get much playing time in every match, he generally gets some minutes.

Currently, his position in the pecking order on the forward line is even ahead of Chamakh.

As for Blaise Matuidi, although like him, he has very little playing time.

But given Arsenal's weak defensive depth in midfield, Blaise Matuidi's future playing time will only increase, not decrease.

This way, only Griezmann is in an awkward position.

If he were to play as a forward, Arsenal has a large number of good players in the front line, so it would not be his turn at all.

If he were to play as an attacking midfielder, first of all, Griezmann doesn't have this ability yet.

Even if he did, there are still Fabregas, Wilshere, and Nasri ahead of him in the pecking order.

Even if Fabregas is injured now, Wenger's first choice for an attacking midfield substitute is Rosicky, and only then would it be Griezmann's turn.

It's easy to imagine how difficult Griezmann's current situation is!

He even somewhat regrets transferring from Real Sociedad to Arsenal.

At least at Real Sociedad, he was a starting player and could play in La Liga, and the quality of the matches was not bad.

Growing in that environment would be most beneficial for him as a newcomer.

Fly noticed Griezmann was feeling down, went up and patted his shoulder, and comforted him:

"Don't worry, brother, you are Arsenal's future. There's no way you'll be left sitting on the bench."

"Be patient. You know, Arsenal is always full of injured players by the middle of the season."

"By then, your chance will come."

"For now, improving yourself and staying healthy is the most important thing."

Griezmann smiled kindly upon hearing this.

To be honest, he greatly envied Fly.

Not only because of his family background, but also because he was able to gain the unconditional trust of everyone at the club right from the start.

Of course, Fly's ability to repay this trust with incredibly explosive performances is also where his skill lies.

Griezmann asked himself, even if all of Fly's opportunities were given to him, he wouldn't be able to produce such outrageous stats!

Premier League: 12 goals in 6 appearances, Champions League: 6 goals in 2 appearances, a total of 18 goals in 8 appearances.

These are simply not human stats!

It's hard for Griezmann to imagine how many goals Fly could score by the end of the season if he could play the entire season without injury.

50 goals, or 60, or even more?

Griezmann could no longer continue thinking about it because it was beyond his comprehension.

In his eyes, a player who can score 30+ goals across all competitions in a season is already a world-class striker.

Scoring 40+ goals would put one among the top in the history of football.

If someone can score 50+ goals, such a historic divine striker might not appear even once in a decade!

So what the heck is this guy in front of him, who is even younger than him?

18 goals in 8 appearances?

Are you kidding me?

Griezmann stated that he simply couldn't understand it.

Fortunately, he and Fly are not the same type of player, otherwise, he would never be able to make a name for himself in his entire life.

While Fly and a group of Arsenal players who were not called up for national teams were training, England football messed up big time again!

October 13th.

England hosted the visiting weak team Montenegro at Wembley Stadium.

This underdog, who was destined to be crushed by the mighty Three Lions according to Fleet Street media, surprisingly held the "Invincible Armada" England to a draw at Wembley Stadium.

As soon as the result was out, huge waves were stirred up across England.

Many media outlets immediately started blaming head coach Capello.

Because in their opinion, England was held to a draw by Montenegro certainly due to the head coach's tactical errors.

Either he didn't put the right players in the right positions.

Or the tactics were inappropriate and couldn't fully showcase the strength of the England players!

In short, it absolutely couldn't be the England players' problem.

What a joke!

Players from the Great British Empire having skill issues?

How is that possible!

It must be the damn Italian who didn't coach seriously and deliberately came up with some bizarre tactics to disgust the England players!

Anyway, it's absolutely impossible for the arrogant England media to admit that their players' own level is not good enough
