Chapter 49: Opportunists (Third update, please vote for me!)
After thinking about it, Chen Yingxiong felt that what he needed to improve most might not be his foot skills. He had been practicing this in the dungeon for a day, and he had begun to see results. But this is the basis, not the final means to solve the problem.
Just like body and speed, they are all basic. If you don’t have good technology, there are many things you can’t use. But with good technology, you may not be able to sit back and relax and be invincible. There are many talented players in the world, but none of them can succeed.
Take his turning volley against Inter Milan as an example. Chen Yingxiong later saw that goal on TV and it was included in the highlights of that round of Serie A.
It's not that he is thick-skinned, he really thinks this kick is very beautiful and perfect. Looking at it now, he admires himself for being able to think of such a volley method.
First of all, if there is no good technical support, then he can't even stop the ball. Naturally, don't expect a series of actions after that. This goal will never happen from the beginning. So technology is the foundation.
But what if there was only technology, but not that moment of inspiration? That's just a beautiful stop, and then what? The football stopped at his feet, but he still couldn't get rid of Samuel's close defense, complete the shot, and score such a wonderful goal.
Therefore, inspiration and foundation are indispensable. Without any one of them, you will not be able to become a world-class superstar, but at most you will be a first-rate and second-rate player. Some people have excellent skills but lack the necessary inspiration, so they spend their entire lives as "parallel importers" showing off fancy tricks. For example, the Brazilian Denilson, who created the world's most valuable player and was highly anticipated by people. Although some people have inspiration, they are limited by their poor skills and are unable to complete their inspiration... There are many such players, and there are no examples, because they have no chance to show their inspiration, so who knows if they have inspiration. .
From the few goals he scored this season, Chen Yingxiong felt that he still had inspiration - it was like a prank. Can a guy who is always very active in his mind and always comes up with new ideas to punish others, be the kind of player who is mediocre, mediocre and afraid of taking risks on the court?
Of course not. Robinho, Ribery, Cassano and Balotelli are always impressive on the court with their performances, and their personalities are definitely not boring.
Chen Yingxiong is also one of them.
Therefore, you should continue to practice your foot skills, which is very helpful to you, but the top priority is not to learn more passing skills, but how to shoot and score with the smallest number of people.
When Chen Yingxiong thought of this, a name suddenly popped into his mind - Filippo Inzaghi.
This opportunistic master!
He had played against him before and knew how powerful this legend was. Most of his shooting movements are unremarkable, not even beautiful and unrestrained. He is not a natural extraordinary man like Ronaldo, and he does not have outstanding speed. He can run wildly with the ball and leave all defensive players behind.
But he is particularly good at scoring goals. Why?
Because he always appears in the right place at the right time, the next job is much easier for a forward of his level.
When he was young, many people looked down upon him and ridiculed him as an "opportunist" and "a professional picker." At that time, everyone admired and liked Ronald's way of dribbling past several people and running wildly. At half-time, the player who passed the goalkeeper with a wonderful fake move and then shot the football into the empty goal, because... it was enough to watch.
But now, as everyone knows more and more about football, everyone has also changed their impression of Inzaghi, from initial disdain to current respect. Because everyone knows that being able to pick up leaks... is also an awesome skill.
Chen Yingxiong feels that he has great deficiencies in finding opportunities and seizing them. For example, most of his opportunities can only be shot when his teammates pass the football to his feet. As for most of his opportunities, he can only shoot directly. It is accomplished by heading the ball - he has really achieved almost the ultimate in heading the ball, and there is no room for improvement. However, no matter how powerful the header is, it is still just a means of attacking the goal, and it is easy to be frozen and contained. I have never heard of anyone who can become a world-class superstar with just one header.
He feels that his running position and the feeling of catching the shot opportunity in front of the goal are always a bit poor. Maybe he can learn something from Inzaghi?
He decided to first see how much Inzaghi was worth.
"Three million?" Chen Yingxiong was a little surprised, because the value was lower than he thought. Does he think it will cost six million anyway?
"The net worth here is not the real net worth. Otherwise, you would have to pay 65 million experience points for a kaka. I think you can almost earn enough experience points when you are thirty years old. So I compared their net worth. Converted..."
"That's not too high..." Chen Yingxiong felt that three million for a legendary shooter like Inzaghi was indeed not high, and his level-up experience was enough to buy him.
"Because Inzaghi is older..."
"How old?"
"Thirty-two years old."
"Huh? I remember Maldini was in his prime, why did Inzaghi instead..."
"The wine gets more fragrant with age, so he is older."
Chen Yingxiong thought about it and was right. Inzaghi doesn't rely on physical fitness to make a living anyway. He just needs to ensure a basic physical level.
"As he is older, his worth will be reduced. Do you want to buy him?"
Chen Yingxiong nodded.
Dracula lowered his head, then raised it quickly: "You have been upgraded before, and now you have only accumulated 1.2 million experience points. There are still 1.8 million points away from 3 million. You can't buy him at the moment."
Chen Yingxiong didn't care much about his experience. When he heard that he only had 1.2 million, he was a little disappointed.
"That's all?"
"Actually, there are quite a few. Do you want me to screen for you, are there any players you can buy now?" Dracula asked.
Chen Yingxiong nodded.
Dracula snapped his fingers, and most of the players in front of Chen Yingxiong immediately disappeared. In the end, there were not many players left. Chen Yingxiong saw his opponent in the Russian Super League Pavlyuchenko at a glance. He let out a laugh: "Damn, there's even him?!"
"What's wrong?" Dracula wondered.
"Why should I spend experience to buy players who can't even beat me? What should I learn? Forget it..." He waved his hand and made up his mind. "I won't buy anyone for now, I'll just save it and wait to buy Inzaghi!"
Chen Yingxiong feels that if he works hard and goes to fewer nightclubs during this period, he will naturally gain more experience. He didn't think he could fall into a scoring drought in such a short amount of time.
Dracula nodded. He never interfered with Chen Yingxiong's decision, because once he interfered, it was his own choice, not Chen Yingxiong's decision.
"Okay, so do you still want to train today?"
"Of course!" Chen Yingxiong nodded. He can't find Inzaghi's apprenticeship for the time being, but it doesn't matter, he still has Maldini. In fact, training with Maldini has benefited him a lot. Because playing with top defenders also helps to improve his personal abilities, he often comes up with some inspiration in the duel with Maldini, just like his own turn volley, but those inspirations rarely come to him. It’s just a matter of using the right opportunity in the actual game...
He and Maldini did not become apprentices, but Maldini was like his master, teaching him how to deal with defensive players.

"Hey, Hero, what are your plans tonight?" After training, Cassano winked at Chen Yingxiong in the locker room.
Hearing what he said, several other teammates suddenly became energetic. They were all members of the Eat, Drink, and Play band, and they were wondering if the Eat, Drink, and Play band was going to organize an event?
Young people all like to play.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yingxiong shook his head: "I have something to do today, Antonio."
Cassano pouted: "Would you like to date another girl?" Now Chen Yingxiong's fame in Italy has greatly increased. He is tall, strong, rich, and famous. He is the object of many beauties' dreams. More than one female artist mentioned Chen Yingxiong when participating in the recording of a TV show and wanted to have sex with him.
"Yeah, I'm going to fight her for three hundred rounds!" Chen Yingxiong straightened his belly and shook it.
So everyone knew that Chen Yingxiong was really busy, and he wasn't secretly dating some girl...
"Okay, if you don't go, let's go!" Cassano waved his hand, and the others who were disappointed just now suddenly became happy. "Antonio, you are such a good person!"
"Fuck, don't say I'm a good person!"
Chen Yingxiong had already told them all about the allusion to the "good guy card", but his explanation was... "A good guy is a poor guy who has no luck with women." Cassano was afraid that he had no luck with women. Although he has a girlfriend, it is always a man's nature to be flirtatious...
"Well, you're the bad guy! You're the big bad guy!"
Cassano laughed loudly: "You're right, I am the big bad guy who makes women unable to get up! Hahahahaha!"
※ ※ ※
Chen Yingxiong refused to participate in the activities of the eating, drinking and playing group. It was not that he was no longer interested in these things, but that he wanted to earn experience desperately so that he could compete with Inzaghi in the dungeon as soon as possible... No, he wanted to ask for advice.
In addition to gaining experience through dungeon training, he can also earn experience by scoring goals, winning games, and completing various tasks.
After defeating Inter Milan in an away game, he paid attention to his task log, "So what about defending the championship?" He has completed half of this task, but such a task cannot be completed until the two sides meet again in the second half of the season. Now he Can't count on it.
He could only do other tasks. Such as various "daily tasks" - winning the game. This task will be refreshed whenever there is a game. Before the game against Inter Milan, the task is to "defeat Inter Milan". After winning this game, he received a reward, and then the task was refreshed to "defeat Siena". Siena was Naples' opponent in the next round of the league.
This kind of task refreshes quickly, but the reward is low, and there is no difficulty at all - some games are very difficult to win, and some games are easy to win. How to determine the difficulty? So there is no such thing as difficulty at all.
In the past, Chen Yingxiong didn't take this kind of mission reward seriously. Even if he could win a game, the reward for this mission was only a mere 10,000 experience points. However, the opponent is strong or weak, and there are so many ways to win. So Chen Yingxiong didn't take it to heart.
Now, he doesn't care, no matter how small the mosquito is, it's still meat!
What's more, after the new expansion pack was launched, Dracula made some adjustments to experience gain. It’s normal to score goals, complete tasks or gain more experience through training now than before. Now that experience is the same as currency, there are naturally more places where experience is needed, unlike before where it was useless except for upgrades. So if the experience acquisition speed is still as slow as before and the difficulty is as high, the game will be too boring to play.
Now the experience gained from this mission has been increased to 100,000, which is a tenfold increase! Even if he only completes this kind of task, he only needs 18 games to collect 1.8 million experience points, not to mention scoring goals and other tasks during this period... So Chen Yingxiong is now very motivated.
In the next game, against Siena, he is full of fighting spirit!
In the copy, after leaning on Maldini, he turned and shot successfully.
After briefly celebrating the goal with a wave of his fist, he pulled Maldini up.
"You look particularly motivated today." Maldini asked after getting up.
"Because I need experience, I really need experience, I really need lots and lots of experience." Chen Yingxiong replied seriously.
