"Time laid the foundations at this moment: at the 2007 FIFA Awards Ceremony, the greatest tribute was bestowed upon Kaká at his peak, and it was C, 22 years old, who competed with him for the Ballon d'Or. Ronaldo and Messi at 20 years old..."
In 2008, Manchester United achieved the double crown of the Premier League and the Champions League. Cristiano Ronaldo won the Golden Boot in both events and secured his first Ballon d'Or. Or at the end of the year..."
2009, with Cristiano Ronaldo landing at the Santiago Bernabéu for a record value of 94 million euros, a newly built armored Galaxy is about to set sail, but this is a miraculous year for Barcelona and a miraculous year for Messi. Guardiola's dream created by Barcelona swept all six leagues, and the Argentine also won a Grand Slam of personal honors this year..."
"In 2010,
although Messi's two teammates at Barcelona, Xavi and Iniesta, together helped Spain win the Hercules Cup, they still couldn't shake the Ballon d'Or judges' favor for Messi..."
2011 was another unparalleled year in Messi's career. He took the third place with absolute advantage. Golden Globe Trophy..."
"In 2012, the end of the world didn't arrive, but Messi ushered in a crazy moment in his career. He scored 91 goals in a calendar year, unprecedented, and in January of this year, he undoubtedly claimed the personal title. Four Ballon d'Or awards..."
The composition of "World Football" was as stable as ever. Lin Yun was quite absorbed in reading it at first, but gradually got distracted.
"Six years have passed..." It has
been six years since Carmelo finished in the top three in the Ballon d'Or, marking the official dominance of the post-80s football generation. It was also the year when Lin Yun joined the Reading Club's youth training. Field, officially embarking on the football road.
As for Mao, he's in Reading because he works for the British branch of Huawei, and the company's headquarters is located in Reading, the "British Silicon Valley."
Six years later, Kaká went from the invincible Prince of Milan to the number 8 of Real Madrid, plagued by injuries. Cristiano Ronaldo became the most fearsome goal-scoring machine and record-breaker in modern football. Messi is even more incredible. He reached the pinnacle of Europe long ago and also went from a little star in the Reading youth team to a big star in the Reading youth team.
Regret? Maybe he has some, after all, it's just six years of life.
Envy? That's inevitable. How many people can't envy that kind of life?
"Host detected, the Ball Jade system is activated..."
The Ball Jade system: only 100 million points better than the Ball King."
"Checking Host information... The scan is complete... It's being scanned... Attributes have been generated..."
Even though it was. The sudden sound startled him, but Lin Yun understood more or less what was happening.
What the heck is this system?
Although there is no time travel, no "ding," although it's simple, rough, and sudden, it seems like it might be the legendary system, right?
Following the emotionless mechanical sound, colorful light tracks appeared out of nowhere, then intertwined before his eyes and finally turned into a curtain of light.
Written lines appeared on the light screen.
[Name: Lin Yun]
[Age: 17]
[Registered Position: Center]
[Preferred Foot: Left]
[Model: None]
[Resources: None]
"Beginner models will be released soon..."
"Block model keyword based on the host's age: Young Prodigy;"
"According to the registered position of the host, block model keyword: Goal as a ball;"
"According to the host's preferred foot, block model keyword: Left-footed Tianzun."
The system is searching based on keywords, please wait...
"Recommended models for young talents: Messi, Kaká, Mbappe, Haaland..."
"Recommended models for scoring goals: Messi, Gerd Muller, Cristiano Ronaldo, Haaland Germany..."
"Recommended model for the left-footed god: Messi, Bale, Robben, Haaland..."
As the system's prompts passed one after another, Lin Yun suddenly had a bad feeling.
Because it seems that all the keywords are pointing to two names: Messi and Haaland.
But the question is...
who is Haaland? ! !
If he could choose Messi directly, he would, of course, laugh in his dreams, but he fears that the system will cause trouble and randomly hit Haaland, whom he has never heard of.
Manchester City already had a captain named Haaland, who is well known for his feud with Keane, but this can be dismissed simply by "scoring like a madman."
"Could it be a certain future star?"
Lin Yun thought about it, and it seemed like that was the only explanation.
So... I didn't time travel, but the system did?
I found a system more than ten years later?
The system's name is also strange, perhaps not serious.
"Recovery completed, the most suitable models have been locked: Messi, Haaland."
"Randomly selected... Congratulations on obtaining the rookie model: Erling Haaland."
Sure enough, the dog-like system seems to be going against what he fears. It made the choice directly for him, as if it were against him.
Although I knew this guy named Haaland probably wouldn't be so easy, when I thought about how I had just bypassed Messi like this, I still felt wrong and couldn't get rid of him.
Ah, forget it, just go with it...
Not only did Haaland's name appear in the personal attribute model column, but his photo also appeared.
Lin Yun looked at it carefully and once again confirmed that this guy was really not any star he knew.
He could only pray that the system wouldn't deceive people and that he could indeed carry the exaggerated title of "Young Prodigy," which made people unable to stop thinking about it. Just looking at the tall, strong young man in the photo but with an indescribable appearance, Lin Yun still couldn't get over the regret of missing Messi for a while.
This
kind of body seems to be that of a powerful center, but it doesn't suit him.
Although he plays as a pivot and is a little tall for his age, he plays in the technical vein—although his skills are exactly like that... "The model is
loaded, and the transformation begins."
Before the confusion was over, the whole roulette wheel shattered into pieces of light with a "bing ling" sound and then turned into strips of light, and the light enveloped him with a "biu" sound.
Waves of tingling sensations like electric shocks spread throughout his body, and after several colorful effects of light and shadow, everything returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
Lin Yun quickly walked to the mirror and took a look.
It seems like nothing has changed.
He's still a handsome young man, 6 feet tall and 7 inches long.
Needless to say, he probably gained his looks in exchange for his football talent.
When he was young, he looked more or less mediocre. Among all the kids, he was slightly above average. However, he was so smart that he was selected as soon as he went to Reading for a trial. Who would have thought that he would have to wait until his body grew and he became a handsome man? After forcing the ball, the ball kept getting worse and was soon lost to everyone.
He still squeezed here and touched there, clenching his fists and kicking his legs to feel the changes in his body when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
His mother's voice came from outside the door.
"Xiaoyun, are you awake?"
"I'm not asleep."
"Then come out for a moment. Your father is back. We need to talk about your future."
Lin Yun had a hint of confusion in his eyes.
Future?
My future is with Haaland.
Being ranked alongside names like Kaká, Ronaldo, Messi, etc., this guy named Haaland should be the number 1... right?"
