"System am ready, please resume assimilation"
The second I sent the command, the second card rushed into my head, this time it was the [ Alexander Arnold's Long Pass Skill Card ].
This time it was different, I had possessed him but the feeling I got was that he seemed to be able to measure the right pass and send it to you across distance, I watched him make runs down the flank and then send the ball accurately into the 18 yard box for the strikers to finish, I also watched him throw very accurate long passes from the backcourt to his teammates in the opponents half, you could say I was him as he did all this wonderful things, he always seemed to be able to exert the perfect amount of strength on the ball and his accuracy, well I could only say "Damn".
After I recovered from this trance I knew what a talented and great football player I had just experienced his techniques.
I knew I was growing stronger as my mind was still digesting my experiences, my Technical Ability was rated 49 by the system but I knew by the time I was done assimilating all these cards, I would have metamorphosised into a brand new player.
And finally for a player whose skill brought extreme finesse to the football pitch, "System, assimilate the [ Robinho's Step-Over Skill Card ] "
" Yes host" replied the system as the final card rushed into my head and oh my gawd, Robinho was a monster.
As I possessed him I experienced him beat defenders one on one time and time again, he felt invincible in 1v1 situations, the step-over wasn't just about the speed of his legs, the way he slanted his shoulders as tricked them and moved the opposite way.
What I took away from this experience wasn't just the step-over, the body movement in itself was an essence of the dribbling arts and after personally experiencing it, I couldn't wait to try it out.
And with that I used the final skill card, all that was left was the Stats card and the Tier One Football Boot.

"Wow" I yelled in suprise, all my abilities and even my talent had gone through a massive boost, well except "THE ZONE " but none the less, all my abilities were above 60 which meant I could debut as a professional player.
"System, open Technical Ability", to be honest I wanted to were I stood at the moment.

"Host's off-ball movement is the highest because host has the [god's vision system ability] with it the host has endless potential in this aspect."
To be honest I was pretty satisfied with my Technical Abilities, my dribbling has always been good, that was why I was valued at the academy as I could take any other player one on one but that was also why I fell quickly after my accident since I could no longer make does dribbles due to the pain but to be sincere I have always loved taking on other players, my coaches used to complain about it.
"System, any other information??" I asked
"Host, the passing ability value is the cumulative value of your long passes and your short passes"
Now I knew why my passing value was quite high, my short pass completion rate was insane, my coaches had wanted me to play as a midfielder but since I liked dribbling it meant I could loose the ball easily so I became a winger instead.
"Well that's done for now, system open missions please"
