Hi.
My name is Abdul Azim. But I prefer you to call me Azim. Short and sweet.
I decided to gift myself a chance to live a life as a pro footballer.
It's all started when I was sitting in my study room and a notification pops out that shook me greatly.
It's about the little guy Lionel Messi leaving Barcelona and moved to PSG. A sad moment for many fans. But you need to move on. Even Cristiano Ronaldo finalized his move to Manchester United.
So I decided to fantasize about myself as a pro football player and make name for myself.
And I will do that with my favourite club, Liverpool FC. I promise myself to only play one team, like others that had done before. Not even the MLS. Francesco Totti and Paolo Maldini are the perfect examples for this show of loyalty. I will also pursue that path with The Reds. I want to start with Boss Jurgen Klopp. I want to start this story the day he signs with the club, on 8 October 2015 and hang my boot when I turn 30 years old and become a manager.
And of course, I need to have my Football System + Mods with me that will ease everything. Because this is my fantasy.
With all that thoughts, I close my eyes and start the tidal wave.
Let's the roar begin.

A 2014 AMG A-class car was speeding fast on the Croxteth Hall Ln road towards the Melwood Training Ground Liverpool. The driver is Azim.
Even he was driving, his eyes sometimes focused on the blue panel.

He loves his system. He thought about this before that this system can make him super OP from Day 1.
Once he had his system+ Mods, he made sure to master both of his feet and change his height and weight. Every day he will become 1cm taller and 1g heavier till he got his desired BMI. The amateur level conditions and attributes were set to full and above Star Player level respectively. When the attributes hit a certain level, then new skills will be learned and mastered as the stats moved up.
After that, he used the Favourite Editor and Decision Editor to 'convey' the Youth Coach, Club Directors, and the Manager moved him to the Senior Squad. And since then, he was acting and waiting for the Boss Jurgen Klopp to come to Liverpool.
- A Few Moment Later -
He arrived at the front gate of Liverpool FC's training ground. He can see several kids and adults waiting there with their cameras out. He waved at them and entered the Melwood Training Ground.
Azim opened up his boot, wore his sneakers, and brought his spare clothes to the Player Entrance door.
He went inside the Locker Room and he can see several players were there already.
Azim: "Hello." He went to a locker with [Abdul Azim] and [99] on it. Beside him were Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino on the right.
Azim: "Ola."
Both of them halt their conversation and looked at him and did the fist bump gesture. And both of them continue their conversation.
Azim silently changing to his practice attire with his blue New Balance boots. With Mods-polyglot, he can understand all the conversation. Most players were talking about the new manager, Boss Jurgen Klopp. Mainly about his statement of 'The Normal One' when he was questioned how he describes himself. And the answer pleased many especially the lads in the locker room. The delightful atmosphere in the room can be felt by everyone despite losing a derby match against Everton FC on last Sunday 4th Oct.
But, everyone can feel the tension in the air. The club atmosphere was not good since he joined the squad. More specifically since Steven Gerrard left the club. No one can hold the squad together and the injured 25-years old Jordan Henderson alone cannot contain the troublesome kids. So, the club had introduced a new signing, an experienced vice-captain James Milner.
For me, I was excited to unleash my abilities and to get Boss's attention so I can be his core player in the attacking third. If not, then I need to use the Mods.
We waited for several more minutes, and finally the newly-appointed vice-captain, James Milner hustled all of us to go to the training pitch.
James Milner: "Come on boys. Let's go. Our new manager wants to have a short talk before training starts." He stood there at the door, while lightly pushed the players.
[Azim POV]
I walked slowly with the other boys. We saw our captain, Jordan Henderson with the new manager Jurgen Klopp and other coaches, talking happily at Pitch 1.
Seeing the players walked out to the training pitch, they stopped and the skipper slowly nodded his head and walked toward us with difficulty. Unfortunately, he suffered a season-ending heel-ankle-metatarsal injury and is still under recovering process.
Talking about injury, there were several glass men here. From the physio report, in this 2015/16 season only there were 11 injuries reported. Jordan Henderson and Daniel Sturridge are currently suffered serious injuries. Sturridge suffered a hip injury and had undergone ACL surgery.
August
02/08/15 - Joe Allen (hamstring)
17/08/15 - Jordan Henderson (ankle)
23/08/15 - Adam Lallana (hip/thigh)
31/08/15 - Christian Benteke (hip/thigh)
September
17/09/15 - Kolo Toure (hip/thigh)
18/09/15 - Jordan Henderson (metatarsal fracture)
20/09/15 - Christian Benteke (hamstring)
23/09/15 - Roberto Firmino (back)
23/09/15 - Dejan Lovren (ankle/foot)
October
04/10/15 - Danny Ings (ankle/foot)
04/10/15 - Philippe Coutinho (groin/pelvis)
And with the German pressing style, there will be more injuries befall Liverpool players. Unlike the possession game under Brendan Rodgers before this, which was less demanding.
I will do anything for my team to win. But obviously, I need to be in the line-up.
I gathered with others and waiting for the boss to start his first-team talk.
