Chapter 37 - Chapter 37 Tintins stream of consciousness passing

"Ding! You have won a victory. This game is rated SSS!"

"You get rewards: training piles6, energy drinks4, medical bandages2, super training piles2, Donglong special drink2, blue fragments4, purple fragments16, gold fragments1, star dropped items*1!"

"Cech's hockey stick: Many football players have other hobbies, such as ice hockey. After wearing it, your ice hockey level will be upgraded to a professional level!"

To be honest, when Kai first saw the reward for this game, his only thought was to drag Petr Čech over and give him a beating.

So disrespectful to football!

You've already played professional football, but ice hockey is still your true love?

Do you really need to be this ridiculous?

What's the difference between you and Gareth Bale?

It can only be said that Čech really didn't care whether he lost this game. Otherwise, he would have been successful if he had dropped something like "Čech's Gloves."

But fortunately, among these rewards, the purple fragments triggered a critical hit, and the number was significantly higher than normal.

"Ding! You consumed purple fragments*20 and obtained the purple ball-level skill Tintin's Stream-of-Consciousness Pass."

"Ding! Tintin's Stream-of-Consciousness Pass: José Mourinho doesn't like this young man who passes the ball too casually. His passing can even put a lot of pressure on his teammates. Your passing ability has been slightly improved. One-touch passing ability is slightly improved. The greater the passing power, the more obvious the effect. Teammates think your passes are difficult to control. Teammates who receive your passes are prone to missing their shots."

F**k!

Invincible!

God among gods!

Tintin is insane!

Who is Tintin?

Kevin De Bruyne, the world's number-one midfielder for a long period in the future.

He and Kai are mirror images of each other.

Because Kai is DK, and Kevin De Bruyne is KD!

Let's talk about De Bruyne's stream-of-consciousness passing.

Almost no one has ever thought De Bruyne's passing was a problem, especially after he became the world's top midfielder.

His passes are sharp and fast, often killing opponents with a single strike.

One pass is enough to create a deadly chance. His passing can completely give two or three teammates on the route the ability to change the score.

He also made a significant contribution to the evolution of modern football tactics.

But in fact, there are certain — even huge — problems with De Bruyne's passing.

Most top midfielders make passes that feel comfortable for their teammates.

De Bruyne can do that too.

But his passing ability is stronger. He is not just any top midfielder — he is the number-one midfielder in the world!

His stronger stream-of-consciousness and ultra-fast passing created massive pressure on his teammates while pursuing extreme lethality.

Any forward without top-tier instincts, top-tier shooting technique, and top-tier finishing reflexes simply cannot control De Bruyne's passes.

His passing even somewhat damaged the shooting confidence of his attacking teammates.

It wasn't until Erling Haaland arrived that De Bruyne was completely unlocked.

Therefore, once De Bruyne has the ball, it's not only the opponent's eleven players who feel nervous.

At least [Si Bao — name unclear, possibly a mistranslation] is truly desperate.

Otherwise, why would Raheem Sterling be willing to run back and forth on Manchester City's wings without complaint, even if he gets tackled every day?

As long as he isn't asked to receive De Bruyne's pass near the penalty area and shoot, he's willing to do anything!

If this kind of super-level passing doesn't meet the right adapter, two situations will occur.

Either the coach thinks: Are you blind? What the hell are you passing?

Calm down — is it really that hard to pass a ball others can actually control?

Or the coach thinks the forward is running randomly and shooting blindly.

Is it really that hard to move into space and score an open goal?

Mourinho was the former toward De Bruyne.

Pep Guardiola was the latter toward Manchester City's strikers.

This situation is also reflected in Kai's purple skill.

Strong — truly strong.

One skill directly adds three layers of passing enhancement.

A basic passing improvement.

An improvement to one-touch passing.

And an improvement derived from increased passing power.

And these three effects can stack.

Even if Kai's current passing stats aren't high, his actual passing effectiveness definitely won't be low.

This is why Kai dared to insist in front of [Triguera — name unclear] that he could take on the core midfield role in front-court pressing tactics.

In normal tactical systems, he might still lack something as a true midfield core.

But in front-court pressing and rapid passing systems, he is terrifyingly strong!

Don't forget — he also has Level 8 Vision Blessing!

Although it's not top-tier vision, it's more than usable.

Guardiola: Give it back!

But honestly, I want to apologize in advance to my U15 teammates.

"My teammates think your pass is difficult to catch."

The ball speed is too fast and too sudden. Even with good chemistry, it's still hard to control.

"Teammates who receive your pass are prone to missing their shots."

If you can't control the ball cleanly and shoot immediately, it's already difficult.

If you force a touch, adjust, and then shoot, it becomes even harder.

If nothing unexpected happens, Kai himself will be fine during this period.

But for the forwards of Sporting Lisbon U15, [Feng Ping — name unclear] is going to suffer.

The only question is whether Ronaldo can withstand the system's debuff, or quickly adapt to Tintin's stream-of-consciousness passing.

Kai was very curious about this.

"Kai's recovery speed is much faster than expected, which shows that his physical condition may not be as bad as people thought. And if his fitness isn't an issue, his future value will be much greater…"

Reporters were conducting interviews outside the Alcochete training base.

It just so happened that training had ended, and the young players began walking out, receiving cheers from fans and interviews from the media.

As their results improved, the treatment received by Sporting Lisbon U15 also improved, and they were gradually showing signs of becoming a star youth team.

However, today, most young players showed little interest in interviews.

Because…the team had deployed new tactics.

High pressing in the front court!

This greatly increased the physical consumption of midfield and attacking players.

At the same time, it put extreme pressure on the defenders.

After a training match, everyone was more exhausted than after a formal competitive game.

The reporters learned this through interviews and were completely confused.

Sporting Lisbon U15 had won three matches and lost one in the league, placing them in the middle of the table.

It was completely realistic for them to compete for third or fourth place.

So why change tactics now and adopt a utilitarian pressing system that is still immature and not very beneficial for youth development?

[Bora — outlet name unclear], which has always been hostile toward Sporting Lisbon, was the first to criticize:

"Sporting Lisbon's thinking isn't hard to understand. Their success in the UEFA Youth League has made them lose their way."

"They've forgotten the original purpose of youth development and have been blinded by glory."

"They may believe this tactic will take them further, but front-court pressing is not simple. It requires extreme tactical understanding and coordination."

"And even if Sporting Lisbon solves the defensive issue, they're still ignoring one crucial problem — they don't have a true counter-attack commander!"
