Volume 1: Males Come and Go, People Pay Attention Chapter 122 The So-Called Inverse Foot Accuracy

Dracula said that he had a mission and it was related to what he was worrying about now, so Chen Yingxiong became interested.

He didn't care about continuing to refresh the copy, and directly opened his laptop to look at his task list.

Sure enough, a new task was added - "Prove yourself".

"...You seem to have discovered a fatal weakness. The whole world is discussing your weakness and happily wants to kill you. Now you have a chance to prove that you are not as bad as they thought. What is it? What could be more appropriate than a Merseyside derby? To beat your local rivals in such an important game and score in the game to tell the world that trying to contain you by using your weak left foot is not going to work. of!"

The mission goal is to score goals in the game.

It is also an unlimited task.

Because the mission rewards are related to the number of goals scored.

Chen Yingxiong almost stopped breathing as soon as he saw the mission reward.

Dracula didn't lie to him. This mission was indeed closely related to what he had been worrying about recently!

It’s simply a timely help!

The mission reward is a talent called "Inverse Foot Accuracy". Chen Yingxiong has heard the word "back-foot accuracy" in live football, which refers to the accuracy of ball control with the foot that he is not good at.

For example, if a player's good foot is his right foot and his weak foot is his left foot, then the opposite foot refers to his left foot. The higher the inverse-foot accuracy, the better his left-foot ball control skills will be.

In live football, the highest inverse foot accuracy is "eight".

In this talent, the highest is "ten".

And how is this reward related to the number of goals scored?

If Chen Yingxiong scores a goal in the game against Everton, he will automatically obtain this talent and be directly promoted to level one, which means he will have a little bit of reverse-foot accuracy.

If he scores twice, that's two levels. The hat-trick was level three. The big four is level four... By analogy, if Chen Yingxiong can score ten goals in this game, he can directly upgrade his talent to the maximum.

Of course, this is impossible.

But if Chen Yingxiong scores a few more goals, his inverse-foot accuracy can reach a more appropriate level, at least it won't be as bad as it is now.

If represented by the data of live football, Chen Yingxiong's current inverse foot accuracy is zero...

Level one is actually not much different from zero. Therefore, Chen Yingxiong must at least score two goals and strive for a hat trick.

※※※

This is a good mission!

After Chen Yingxiong read the entire mission introduction and reward description, he touched his chin and smacked his lips.

It is indeed a timely help.

If he didn't have this talent, he wouldn't know how long he would have to practice so hard... His life now is just torturing himself... Using his left hand to do things that his right hand used to do before, he is not used to it at all, often makes mistakes, and is inefficient. .

If he didn't have a stubborn temper, he would have given up long ago.

Now, with talent, he doesn't have to torture himself anymore.

But after the inverse foot accuracy is increased to full, does it mean that my left foot can be as flexible as my right foot?

Chen Yingxiong called to ask Dracula about this.

Dracula said: "That's not the case, hero. Even if you fill up this talent, it will only make your left foot much better than it is now, but it will not be as flexible as your right foot. But you are You don’t have to worry about your left foot. At least if the opponent forces you to control the ball with your left foot, they will soon realize that they have made a huge mistake.”

Although he didn't get the answer he wanted, Dracula's answer satisfied Chen Yingxiong. Dracula was right, as long as it wasn't like this, it would be fine. Now his left foot is really useless. Even if it is half as strong as his right foot, he is not afraid anymore. The next step is to practice on his own.

Chen Yingxiong saw hope and hung up the phone, returned to the dungeon and continued training.

In order to score more goals in the Merseyside derby, he must now work even harder.

Van Basten saw him coming back full of fighting spirit and felt strange: "Is there any good news, hero?"

"Marco. You said that under the current circumstances, I want to score more goals in the next Merseyside derby. Is there any way?"

Basten pointed to his head: "Try to play football with your head."

"Uh..." Chen Yingxiong rolled his eyes, "I really shouldn't ask you, I knew you were going to say that!"

"Playing with your brain" has become Van Basten's mantra. Whatever Chen Yingxiong asks him, he will always say this.

Just like the mysterious eminent monk, he always refuses to make his words clear. He insists on saying something that seems to be very Zen but is actually just nonsense, and then let Chen Yingxiong understand it on his own.

Chen Yingxiong thought to himself that if I knew how to use my brain to play football, why would I still be practicing so hard here? Isn't it better to sweat on a girl in a nightclub than to sweat in a dungeon?

But Basten was not going to tell Chen Yingxiong how to play football with his brain, so he could only think hard on his own...

Of course Basten knew what Chen Yingxiong was thinking. But if he didn't tell Chen Yingxiong directly, he would naturally have his own ideas. Some things must be understood by oneself to have meaning and value. If others tell him, he will always feel that he got it too easily and does not know how to cherish it. And I can tell him once or twice, do I have to tell him what to do every time? This is called "knowing what it is but not knowing why it is". Only when you understand it yourself can you truly know "why". After understanding it, he will naturally understand everything else.

※※※

Chen Yingxiong was thinking about how to score goals when the weakness of his left foot was known to others.

Martin O'Neill is considering almost the same question. Chen Yingxiong is Liverpool's top scorer and the core of all Liverpool's offensive tactics. If he is restricted and unable to display his true strength, then Liverpool's offense will be in trouble.

And he didn't have time to adjust at all. This is the way Liverpool has insisted on playing in the past one or two seasons, and the players are used to it. Now it is necessary to abandon Chen Yingxiong all of a sudden and switch to other tactics. The players cannot adapt at all.

At this time, it’s the end of the Premier League season, and important games are coming one after another. Liverpool simply cannot afford to lose...

The next Merseyside derby with Everton is such a crucial game that cannot be lost. Even if we don't consider competing for the league championship, such a local derby is still our home court. Can Liverpool lose?

But what should Chen Yingxiong do if he is restricted by the opponent?

O'Neill thought about it and decided that it would be better to let Chen Yingxiong be a simple offensive bridgehead. He can still pass the ball to his teammates, and he has already had seven assists this season, a number that has created a new high in his career.

The only question is whether Chen Yingxiong accepts his arrangement...

He didn't tell Chen Yingxiong, he decided to make the decision himself.

As a head coach, if you can't make such a decision, it would be a failure.

※※※

During the tactical meeting the day before the game, Chen Yingxiong frowned when he heard that he was the one making wedding dresses for his teammates.

Martin O'Neill naturally saw Chen Yingxiong's expression, which he expected.

But for the sake of the team's victory, Chen Yingxiong was unwilling but had to accept it.

He didn't intend to explain much.

Chen Yingxiong is not the kind of very selfish person. Although the football eventually falls at his feet, he will usually shoot unless he has no chance, but this is an essential quality for a qualified center.

But if he was asked to make wedding dresses for his teammates during the game, he wouldn't be able to accept it. If it were to switch to other games, he would be happy to do so. It's just that he must score in this game...

Because this task of proving yourself has a time limit, after this game, it will be gone! If he couldn't score in this game, the mission would have failed and he wouldn't be able to get the reward. He would have no choice but to continue fighting with each other.

So he must score a goal in this game, even if it is just one goal. As long as he scores one goal, he will have this talent. Next, he can use the talent points obtained from upgrading to increase his talent...

Although he was very unwilling, he did not contradict Martin O'Neal on the spot. He did not even go to the head coach in private to plead with him to give him more opportunities.

Because he really couldn't tell others his reasons... He could only think this way - there couldn't be a whole game without a single opportunity for him, right? No matter how much he makes a wedding dress for his teammates, he still has his own chance to shoot.

In this way, you have to test your ability to seize opportunities.

A test?

I'm not afraid!

※※※

When his teammates heard that Chen Yingxiong was not the main attacker in this game, they all turned to look at him. Everyone actually knows the reason for this. Isn't it just the "left foot" who caused trouble during this period?

Some people expressed sympathy for this in their hearts, thinking that Chen Yingxiong was so bad that he would encounter such a thing.

Others are worried that the head coach's arrangement will dampen Chen Yingxiong's enthusiasm. What if he breaks through?

Is the hero really restricted by just a left foot?

Many people sighed inwardly.

Chen Yingxiong knew that his teammates were looking at him and what those eyes meant.

But he was unmoved. He had already made up his mind, so naturally he didn't care what others thought of him.

※※※

Martin O'Neill actually planned to wait for Chen Yingxiong to come to him afterwards. He saw Chen Yingxiong's expression clearly during the tactical meeting, and he also knew what Chen Yingxiong was thinking. He will definitely not be willing to just assist and pass the ball to his teammates.

Just because he won't take the initiative to find Chen Yingxiong doesn't mean he doesn't want Chen Yingxiong to come to him.

He thought that Chen Yingxiong would definitely come back to talk to him about this issue, so he told him what he had already thought about, which was also an opportunity to tell him the clichéd theme of "the team is more important than the individual".

But he didn't wait.

Although Chen Yingxiong frowned, he accepted the decision without any complaints! This surprised him - when did Chen Yingxiong become so talkative?

Confused by doubts, Chen Yingxiong accepted the arrangement. He had nothing to say.

He now couldn't care less about why Chen Yingxiong accepted this arrangement. Did he sincerely accept it, or did he intend to violate it. As long as he wins Everton in this game, nothing else matters.
