Standing in the middle of the field, Xia Xing seemed to be in a dream.
The teammates around him hugged him with smiles on their faces.
Zidane: "Xia, you have a very good sense of the ball!"
Henry: "Boy, your goal is better than mine! Hahahaha!"
Guti: "Okay, okay!"
There are even players from "rival Manchester United" , who also came forward to congratulate him.
Beckham: "I'm happy that Manchester United has a young man like you!"
Giggs: "Hurry up and come to the first team, I'm waiting for you!"
Scholes: "Come on, young man."
Scoring a key goal under the spotlight and enjoying the congratulations of his teammates and the applause of the audience.
This feels great.
At this moment, Xia Xing heard the system prompt again.
[Task 1: 1. Receive Zidane's pass and score the goal; 2. Assist Zidane to score; 3. Win Zidane's praise. ]
[Mission goal completed! ]
[The mission reward has arrived - Zidane card, SS level! ]
Great, the rewards are in place!
Xia Xing is overjoyed!
Just as he was about to check the system carefully, the referee's whistle sounded.
The game is over!
Next, it's Sir Alex Ferguson's farewell moment.
Xia Xing exited the system and retreated to the side of the stadium. Following a group of Manchester United bosses and countless Manchester United fans, he bid farewell to Sir Alex Ferguson with applause and cheers.
Standing in the middle of the court, the coach looked deeply moved.
"I didn't make a draft in my head, I will just say it as it comes to mind, hoping to express clearly what this club means to me.
"First of all, a big thank you to Manchester United, not just the directors, but also the doctors, staff, players and fans, you all Everyone, thank you all.
"You guys have been the highlight of my life!
"I've coached some of the greatest players in the country. All these players played the right way for the club and they won the title in admirable fashion. Well done, players!
"Retirement does not mean the end of my life and the club. I will enjoy watching the game.
"But thinking about those last-minute goals, those comebacks, and even those defeats, they all belong to us as memories of the club.
"These have been incredible experiences for us so I thank you for that.
"I will always be Manchester United's biggest fan, always! "
The farewell to the fans was over, and the club held a farewell dinner for Sir Alex Ferguson that night.
All the big-name stars who participated in today's game were present.
Of course, this had nothing to do with Xia Xing.
Xia Xing walked into the house alone, without turning on the lights , threw his shoes at the door, and lay directly on the sofa.
The room was very quiet, completely different from the hustle and bustle of the Old Trafford Stadium just now. Lying on the sofa, Xia Xing closed his eyes.
A Prompt sounded.
[The star card system is officially launched!]
At this moment, Xia Xing could finally study the system in a down-to-earth manner.
A translucent system with a sense of technology stood in the void.
The text is different, and the system interface is now fully expanded.
The text logo of "Star Card System" is very eye-catching at the top of the system interface.
The bottom is divided into three areas.
The "Information Platform" is displayed in the middle, and the various task information and system prompts are displayed. It is displayed here in a grid pattern.
A row of data is displayed on the left, which reads "Host attribute data." "
[The current physical attribute data of the host (Xia Xing) are as follows (single item full score is 100 points):]
[Offense: Shot, 65. Passes, 61. Ball control, 81. Vision, 33. Off-ball runs, 41. Set piece, 58. ]
[Body: Speed, 85. Explosive power, 88. Strength, 58. Bounce, 55. Physical fitness, 90. reaction, 79. ]
[Defense: Marking, 31. Steals, 35. Gatekeeping, 13. ]
[Comprehensive ability assessment: C level. ]
Seeing this data, Xia Xing smiled bitterly.
The system's evaluation is simply too accurate.
His physical fitness, speed, explosive power and reactions are very good, and his ball control ability is also very strong.
His shooting and passing are average, not particularly impressive.
The vision and running position are far behind, which is related to the fact that he did not receive top-level football education in China. Strength and jumping are his weakest points.
These weaknesses are precisely skills that are difficult to improve...
Xia Xing's eyes fell on the "Comprehensive Ability Assessment", and a new prompt immediately popped up on the "Information Platform" in the middle of the system.
[This system grades host and star cards into five levels: C level, B level, A level, S level, and SS level. Corresponding to the ordinary player level, top player level, football star level, football superstar level, and football king level respectively. ]
Xia Xing then realized that he was only the weakest ordinary player.
The Henry and Zidane cards we just got are S-level and SS-level.
But how is it used?
On the right side of the system, two cards are listed.
A new prompt pops up in "Information Platform".
[Use star cards for "virtual arena" training. After a certain period of time, the abilities of the star cards will be integrated into the host's body, directly improving the host's attribute data. ]
There is a row of buttons at the bottom, almost all obscured by blurred shadows, and only a "virtual arena" can be used.
Xia Xing tried to click.
[Please confirm host, do you want to enter the "virtual arena"? ]
"Confirm to enter!"
With a thought, Xia Xing felt like the world was spinning instantly!
After just a moment, he felt restless all over.
When he opened his eyes again, he was immediately stunned!
This is...Old Trafford?
how so?
I was lying on the sofa at home just now, and now I am standing in the middle of Old Trafford!
The stands were filled with fans wearing Manchester United jerseys, and tens of thousands of people were cheering and shouting!
And he is one of the 22 players on the field!
The 11 people on the opposite side were wearing white jerseys, and he didn't recognize them.
And almost all of the teammates wearing red Manchester United jerseys are strangers.
There were only two people he knew.
Zidane!
Henry!
Xia Xing understood instantly!
These two people are the embodiment of the two star cards he obtained!
At this moment, everyone on the court is still, like wax statues, and the game has not started yet.
The system prompt sounds.
[The "Virtual Arena" follows the host level, which is C level, also all other players in the pitch apart from the star cards are also aligned with the player's level . In the arena, the host can perform football training and matches that are completely equivalent to reality, and the physical and technical improvements obtained will also be brought back to reality. ]
[You can log in once a day, and the usage time is up to two hours. The number of logins, usage time and number of competition types will increase as the host level increases. ]
There was a translucent progress bar above the heads of Zidane and Henry.
[(unit hour) Zidane: 0/100. Henry: 0/50. ]
In other words, when the star card is 100%, the star's ability will be attached to himself?
sharp!
If he fully integrate Zidane and Henry, how much will his strength improve?
If I can get a physically strong player's star card in the future, my already basically formed body will also be greatly improved!
Thinking of this, Xia Xing was very happy!
At this time, the referee's whistle sounded and the game began!
Zidane passed the ball to Henry, Henry knocked the ball to Xia Xing, and then sprinted quickly!
Xia Xing dribbled the ball forward, made a fake move and split the ball!
At this moment, Xia Xing's fighting spirit is high!
Come on, two hours of football, gogogo!
