Chapter Thirty-Seven: Becoming a Football Star
Lao Lei, who returned home, was warmly celebrated by his family. Joseph happily talked to him about today's game and his performance. Cintia looked at the father and son who were talking happily, smiled and shook her head, and then went into the kitchen to prepare dinner. And Xiao Ji was watching cartoons at this time, but she didn't have time to pay attention to these adults.
After a hearty dinner, Ray Sr., who returned to his room, received a call from Mendes.
"Hi Reima. You've had a great job tonight. Especially in that midfield, you're going to make headlines tomorrow. Mendes' voice was filled with great surprise and cheers, and it sounded like he was even happier than Ray himself.
"Mendez, you busy man. I thought you wouldn't know how I played in today's game until at least tomorrow, and you'll just be looking at the result tonight. Mendes didn't come to watch today's game, and the elder said he was a very busy man. Therefore, Mendes was able to call so quickly to congratulate himself, and Lao Lei was still a little surprised when he heard it.
"Oh, Reima, you're doubting my professional integrity. I care more about each of my employers than you might expect. The two of them began to joke like this. After a while, Mendes finally got to the point.
"Reima, I think your professional contract can already be included in my daily schedule. I'm going to visit manager Vito'o tomorrow and it's a good time. Reima, you're about to become a real star, and I suggest you practice your signature first. After hanging up Mendes' phone, Lao Lei thought back on this period of his rebirth, and it felt really incredible. In my previous life, I was a lonely person who had to worry about my livelihood all day long, but now I have a warm home, basically I don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and I have the opportunity to be cheered and worshiped by tens of thousands of people every week, how lucky I am.
Then I thought of my two goals today, the cheers of the fans, and the amazement of everyone, which made Lao Lei quickly indulge in the charm of the goal. Immediately, Lao Lei entered the system.
First of all, Lao Lei still has to count the rewards he got today. "Congratulations to the host for scoring their first goal in the professional arena and awarding 5 soul points."
"Congratulations to the host for completing the first brace of his career, and rewarding the host with 10 soul points."
"Congratulations to the host for successfully fighting back against the opponent who provoked him first, defeating the opponent and provoking the opponent to get a yellow card. Awarded 5 Soul Points. ”
"Congratulations to the host for helping the team win the match and award 5 soul points." In this way, it is another 20 points, and Lao Lei can be regarded as summing up some rules of the system's rewards. As long as you can play and your team wins in a row, the bonus points will be increased from 5 points per game. Then, you get some great stats or good performances for each game, and that's a 5-point good performance as well. In the end, as long as you do something out of the ordinary on the field, such as hurting the opponent, provoking the opponent, letting the opponent take a card or something, there will be a reward, as long as you are not punished, the more you do it, the higher the reward. Of course, looking at the prompts of the system, as long as you are punished, it seems that there will be no reward, and there is still a risk in this. Today, if you settle like this, you only owe a total of 35 points. This made Lao Lei's heart warm, it was not easy, he finally saw the end. In addition to this, Lao Lei also suspects that as long as he pays off the points he owes, he should be able to start the system function of soul point exchange, which Lao Lei has been interested in for a long time. For the god-like existence of the system, it shouldn't be simple to take out the things that can be exchanged in the exchange system, Lao Lei said he was very interested.
Today, Lao Lei did not train for short passes, strength or anything according to the past, and today for the first time, he clicked on the training screen of shooting. Scoring goals is addictive, and Lao Lei is now an addict. Clicking on the shooting practice, what appeared in front of Lao Lei was several options for headers, long-range shots and close-range shots. After thinking about it for a while, Lao Lei felt that his position and current skills were the most suitable for him. Since then, his current task is still mainly defense, and his position is delayed, and there is not much chance of shooting from close range. As for headers, there are already header strongmen such as Raio and Ivan in the team, and practicing headers by themselves is not very useful to the team. The team is still a little weak in terms of long-range shooting, only Andre is still tough on his feet, and the others are almost gone. If you even shoot from a distance, it just so happens that your position coincides with the needs of the team, so Lao Lei clicked into the training option of long-range shooting.
After clicking in, what comes out is the long-range shooting basic training. Lao Lei came to a place similar to the training scene of passing. It's just that in this place, Lao Lei feels as if the temperature is a little high. After a while, Lao Lei finally saw the supervisor here, a middle-aged white man wearing a white vest. I saw him wiping his sweat with a towel in one hand, and said to Lao Lei: "Welcome to the long-range shooting basic training." ”
Then, he pointed to the black wall 20 meters away in front of Lao Lei and said: "After the training starts, a white line circle with a diameter of 1 meter will appear on the wall, please shoot the football into the white line circle within 10 seconds, if it fails, the host will go below." ”
Lao Lei looked at the solid floor under his feet suspiciously, and said, "Underfoot, where is underfoot?" ”
At this time, the big man smiled and pointed to the floor, and suddenly a circle appeared on the floor. Lao Lei looked down, only to see the raging flames and feel the boiling heat. Lao Lei looked at the scene in front of him and swallowed his saliva, the heat on his face made Lao Lei not doubt that the tragic scene after he went down would definitely be the same scene as going to hell. Looking up at the white man, he smiled and said, "Can I give up today's training?" I'm not in good spirits today? ”
The white man picked up a towel to wipe the sweat on his forehead, looked at Lao Lei and smiled toothedly, and said, "Of course, this is the host's freedom." Without waiting for Lao Lei to be happy for a second, he continued: "But if you give up training, you have to be roasted by fire for 5 minutes." ”
"And how long will I be roasted by the fire if I fail?" Lao Lei asked this sentence with tears in his eyes.
"Not much, 3 seconds at a time."
After hearing this answer, Lao Lei said with tears in his eyes: "I suddenly found that my spirit is almost up, and I want to continue training, woo." ”
"It's good. Long-range basic training starts now. ”
After 10 seconds, "Ahhhh This soccer ball of yours is heavier, you play me. ”
"I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you."
"Oh my God."
In this way, Lao Lei spent another night in the abusive training of the pit father. Although the pain is painful, it is still worth the reward. After Lao Lei came out of training, the system prompted him to turn on the skill option of long-range shooting. Lao Lei showed a basic long-range shot (level 2): your long-range shot basically can't find the exact direction, only 10% of the hit rate, please continue to work hard to improve your long-range shooting ability.
Just when Lao Lei was still asleep, the outside world made a fuss because of him. If the previous news only made him familiar in Portuguese football, then the realization of the game against Porto directly allowed him to successfully qualify as a new star. In the previous news, the reason why Lao Lei showed his face was mainly because of his physique and personality, and this time it was because of his football skills and strength, which were frantically reported by the media. The game-turning performance against Porto made the media's crazy boast fall on Lao Lei.
"Half-time Hanging Shot, Made by Godzilla"
Godzilla, Shredding Porto
"Leiria was shocked to see a genius beast waist in 10 years, and he can attack and defend well"
"The best rookie player of the season in the Portuguese Super League has appeared"
"The Portuguese Super League staged the fame of "Beckham"
One of the most exaggerated was a report by the local media in Leiria, titled "Leader of the Next 10 Years - Godzilla No. 13", which read: "Just yesterday against Porto, after falling behind 1-0 in the first half, in the second half our Mr. Godzilla stepped up. First of all, he ran aggressively, defended to change the unfavorable trend on the field, and then equalized with a strong follow-up shot. This was followed by a decisive performance of actively returning to defend and destroying the opponent's must-score goal. In the last minute of the game, he used a Beckham-style long-range shot to kill the game. The 19-year-old, who has only made three appearances, has seen in us the perseverance of willpower, the reckless character, and the leadership to lead the team in key moments, coupled with extraordinary defensive ability and goalscoring ability that is slowly being played. God, I simply saw our own Roy. Keane. I see in Remayr the figure of our leader for the next 10 years. ”
These reports directly gave Lao Lei his place and name in Portuguese football at the speed of light. And in this small city of Leiria, Lao Lei's popularity even came to a big explosion, and his jersey was swept away. I believe that in the next home game, he will be the brightest star of the Leiria team, and you must know that Lu Dao is only a rookie player who has only played 3 games. And he is now taking on the expectations of most of the Leiria fans, especially the fans who watched the game against Porto with their own eyes and saw how Lao Lei turned the tide alone. The five big and three thick old Lei is becoming the idol and darling of the city, and our protagonist is not aware of all this.
Fans across Portugal today are aware of a rookie player who scored a brace yesterday and killed Porto with a superb midfield lob. This made some of the pictures and situations of Lao Lei's previous games begin to be dug up by these interested fans, and Lao Lei's tough, unruly, and domineering videos and pictures of the previous game made Lao Lei quickly have a group of young fans all over Portugal. The media began to dig up Lao Lei's information, and it is believed that it will not be long before Lao Lei has no private privacy in front of the public.
Lao Lei began to move in the direction of the star, and he became the focus of everyone's discussion.
