Chapter 7 Warm-up match starts

At the critical moment, a thin figure stood out.

Gareth Bale ran all the way from ten meters away and chased after him. With some subtle movements of his hands, he successfully stole the ball from his opponent's feet.

After stealing the ball, the Welshman gently pushed the ball to Leo who raised his hand for the ball not far away, covered his head and rushed forward.

Leo got the ball again after a long absence. He didn't even look at Hoddlestone who was pressing forward, and directly sent a long-distance pass from the wing!

"Did he pass the ball too wide?"

"Probably still too nervous, it shouldn't be his passing level."

Before the words of the head coach and technical coach on the sidelines have finished, the situation on the court has changed.

Bell sprinted with the ball at high speed along the left wing, and even caught Leo's pass before crossing the baseline.

The confusion in Martin Yoel's eyes deepened. Looking from a distance, the Asian boy had a confident smile on his face. Could it be that Leo had planned this pass?

But it is a pity that Bell was still just a young left back at this time. His shot against goalkeeper Czerny did not have any power and was too upright and was confiscated.

"I must practice shooting more when I go back!"

Bell, who missed the chance to score, secretly made up his mind.

But the Welshman turned around and gave a thumbs up to Leo who passed the ball to him.

"Did you know I could catch your pass?"

"Well, I made a rough calculation based on your speed. If you pass the ball farther, you can just get it if you run, and you can get rid of the defense at the same time."

"It was a beautiful pass. Give me a pass like this again if you have the chance!"

"No problem! You have to run over with all your strength. No one else would be able to catch such a pass, haha!"

The two young men bumped fists and looked at each other and smiled. It was obviously their first time working together, but they seemed to have a better understanding without knowing it.

Martin immediately asked the players on the field to play more on the left. He wanted to further observe what kind of chemical reaction the two underage guys, Leo and Bell, could produce.

Soon, the main team wearing orange-red vests made a comeback.

Zokola passed the ball to the left in the frontcourt. Leo and Bell hit the wall one-on-one and passed the defender Ricardo Rosa who was rushing up.

At this time, Berbatov and Robbie Keane were already in place in the penalty area!

Leo dribbled the ball to the lower left corner of the penalty area to attract the attention of the defensive player. He passed the defense and buckled the angle to attack the goal!

Not to mention the opponent, Leo's teammates all thought that this kid was really going to hit the goal himself.

However, a scene happened that stunned everyone at the scene. Leo faked a shot and passed the ball accurately, and an overhead pass was accurately delivered to Berbatov!
  Brother Xiaosha opened his arms to protect his position. Under Kabul's close guard, he kept the ball and forced a toe shot to score!
  Although it was just a score in a team training match, Berbatov, who scored a wonderful goal, still received applause and applause from his teammates.

To be honest, Leo's passing is very imaginative, but the quality of this pass is not very good, which means Berbatov is capable enough.

Despite this, Berbatov gave him high praise.

"That's good news. What's your name...?"

"Leonardo, just call me Leo!"

With a kind smile, Berbatov touched the head of this young man who was almost ten years younger than him.

"Leo, right? I'm very optimistic about you."

Tottenham's head coach Martin Jol unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth when he saw this.

The team has just been assembled for the new season, and many injured players and the poor state of many main players after the holidays have given the Dutch a headache.

"I hope I can win the opportunity to play with my strength!"

Leo's heroic words a few days ago were still in his ears, but today the two young people who newly joined the team really gave him a little surprise.     When rotation is needed, it might not be a bad idea to let them play.

……

At the end of the day's training, Leo dragged his exhausted body back home.

Fitness coach Marcos said this is just the beginning. He is scared to think about it. Is the physical training of the Premier League team so deadly?

After closing the door to my room, I could finally take a closer look at my unreliable plug-in.

Star template: [Berbatov]

Strength rating: A+
  talent:

S level, dribbling master; natural shooter

Grade A, super ball feel
  Current matching degree: 5%
  It seems that he was right. The improvement in dribbling, ball control and shooting ability that Leo felt today is, if nothing else, due to this "Berbatov template".

But what exactly is this matching degree? It seemed to be zero when it was first unlocked.

Why did he increase by five percentage points after one day of training?

[Do you want to enable auxiliary training? whether】

After silently reciting yes in his mind, Leo, who was lying on the bed, suddenly saw a flash of white light in front of his eyes, and he appeared on an empty training ground.

There are three types of training, namely dribbling, passing and receiving, and shooting. If the training is even slightly imperfect, it will not pass.

After about three hours, Leo finally finished a complete set of training content.

[Daily training completed, matching degree +0.1%]

Leo:? ? ?
  I have worked so hard for so long, and you just give me 0.1%? This is too stingy!

Taking another look, it turns out that the current matching degree has become 5.1%.
  When Leo returned to his room after finishing the auxiliary training, he first looked at the time, and it was actually the time before he entered!

Then Leo jumped up from the bed again and moved his body. He didn't feel tired at all!
  This is more or less the same. The auxiliary training once a day keeps time still and does not consume physical energy. It is equivalent to making money in vain.

It's just that the reward with only 0.1 matching degree is a bit shabby.

So it would take him almost two and a half years to perfect Berbatov's template to 100%? !
  There must be other ways, otherwise it wouldn't have risen by 5% today, right?

Unfortunately, more than ten days have passed, and apart from daily training, Leo has not found any other way to improve his matching degree.

Tottenham also set off from London to Cape Town, South Africa, to start their pre-season warm-up match.

The Vodafone Cup Challenge, a football challenge sponsored by European mobile communications giant Vodafone, is held in South Africa.

In the first game, Tottenham Hotspur, who came all the way from afar, easily defeated Kaizer Chiefs 2-0 to advance to the final with goals from Berbatov and Robbie Keane.

In the first game, Martin Jol made several substitutions while leading the game, completely ignoring Leo who was eager to play on the bench.

The Lily Legion will face another South African team, Auckland Pirates, in the final of the Vodafone Cup Challenge.

I wasn't even allowed to play in the previous game, so I won't be able to play in the next game, right? Then why do you keep asking me to train the left and right midfield positions?

"Ugh……"

He sighed softly in his heart. Leo, who usually trains seriously and has made significant progress in just two weeks, is not depressed. If he can't even bear this competitive pressure, then there is no point in returning to Inter Milan.

"Let me announce the starting lineup, Robinson..."

Leo, who thought he still had no hope of appearing, didn't listen carefully at all. He was distracted by his 6.5% matching rate, and suddenly felt someone pushing him.

"Leo, you start the next game with me!"
