Coach Carter's face was as cold as water.
With his stern and decisive temperament, he initially didn't want to give Rusty another chance.
However, Carter could also see that Rusty had indeed been careless earlier and hadn't shown his true strength.
Moreover, this plays very smartly.
Either this kid has played football for a few years and has gained a lot of experience from playing street soccer, or he is naturally talented in football, the kind of person who is born for this and uses his brain on the field.
Coach Carter was also curious to see how this kid would perform when Rusty got completely serious.
Carter pursed his lips, thought for a moment, and then said, "Alright, I'll give you one more chance."
"Thank you, Coach!" Rusty shouted excitedly, "I knew the coach was on my side! kid, you're dead this time, absolutely dead!"
Gunnard smiled calmly.
He wasn't surprised at all that Carter gave Rusty another chance.
In that last confrontation, Gunnard had indeed used some of his experience from his previous life to gain an advantage.
Of course, the main reason was that Gunnard was somewhat uncertain himself; he wanted to use that confrontation to test whether his strength was sufficient to hold his ground.
Now, Gunnard felt much more confident.
Even though his strength rating according to the system was only 60 points, a few points lower than Rusty's, it was already enough for him to stand his ground in physical confrontations.
Gunnard still had one unassigned talent point left, and for now, he didn't need to add it to his strength attribute.
Since there was going to be a second round of testing, deciding which attribute to add this talent point to would be a true test of his understanding of football.
Gunnard's current abilities were like a blank sheet of paper.
If he allocated his talent points incorrectly, he wouldn't have time to regret it later.
Therefore, the early-stage allocation of points was crucial and required careful consideration.
In his previous life, Gunnard had specifically studied the reference values necessary to become a professional football player.
Generally speaking, a professional footballer must possess three essential attributes: physical attributes, technical attributes, and mental attributes.
Physical attributes include: strength, stamina, speed, explosiveness, power, agility, balance, and jumping ability.
Technical attributes include: vision, crossing, short passing, long passing, dribbling, shooting, ball control, ball handling, shielding, free kicks, throw-ins, penalties, corners, heading, long shots, marking, dribbling past opponents, tackling, positioning, and awareness.
---
Mental attributes include: anticipation, composure, imagination, creativity, focus, teamwork, big-game mentality, and professionalism.
The values of these attributes change dynamically.
For example, decreased stamina, muscle fatigue, injuries, nervousness, bad mood, anger, adrenaline rush, etc., can all affect the fluctuation of values.
The attribute values evaluated by the system should be the upper limit under normal conditions.
Currently, a strength attribute of 60 points is basically qualified, but the overall physical attributes still need to be further strengthened.
As for technical attributes and mental attributes, there is no rush to consider them for now. First, strengthen the body to above the passing line before thinking about anything else.
Considering the current situation, the next attribute that needs to be improved is...
Strength.
The strength attribute not only includes physical confrontation strength but also passing and shooting power.
It can be said that this is another basic physical attribute that is essential for defenders, forwards, and even midfielders, just like the strength attribute.
Increasing passing power is also very helpful for using the Golden Right Foot: Precise Long Pass and Set Piece: Crescent Moon.
Adding this talent point to strength is definitely not a loss in the early stages.
Strength only determines whether you can stand firm during confrontation, but when strength is basically equal, the outcome is determined by strength wrestling.
After being reborn, the strength value of Gunnard's current body should not be high. However, the training achievements he has gained in the past few days should also have improved his own values to a certain extent.
At the D-level individual rating level, 1 talent point is equivalent to 100 hours of professional training.
Directly embodying the results of these 100 hours of professional training will definitely have a very obvious effect.
After making the decision, Gunnard's mind moved, and the talent points stored in his mind immediately flowed into his body.
Gunnard instantly felt full of strength all over his body!
Gunnard secretly exerted force, and all the muscles in his body tightened like ropes!
The strong muscle groups were even harder than before!
"Ding~"
"Congratulations to the host for successfully adding points. The host's strength attribute has increased from 59 points to 60 points."
Damn...
Was my physical strength so poor when I was young?
Even after gaining so many strength training achievements, it was only 59?
Fortunately, after adding this precious talent point, strength is now considered passable.
I still need to gain more training achievements!
Otherwise, relying solely on talent point bubbles would take forever.
After adding the talent point, Gunnard smiled calmly, "Let's start quickly, Rusty. I still have a date with Sophie tonight after we finish the duel."
Rusty laughed, "kid, you want to affect my mentality with such words? Do you think I'm a three-year-old? My fate with Sophie is over! It's Sophie's loss! I'm now pursuing Sophie's best friend, Susanna! So, you can show off your love with Sophie all you want, I won't be affected! In order to successfully confess to Susanna, I must win today!".
After saying that, Rusty ran back to the center circle.
This time, he didn't even say start and directly accelerated with the ball!
His starting speed was twice as fast as the first time!
For a strong man like him, this was almost a limit sprint and extremely exhausting.
But Rusty couldn't care less at this point!
Rusty used all his strength and charged towards Gunnard crazily!
The entire pitch seemed to rumble due to Rusty's running, as if a real human tank was crushing over!
Gunnard didn't flinch at all and started accelerating at the same time as Rusty, intercepting Rusty's path.
Gunnard was a forward in his previous life, and speed was his advantage.
Coupled with his young body and the Messi-exclusive football boots that maximized grip and explosiveness!
Everyone at the scene held their breath--
When Gunnard and Rusty were only a few steps away, Gunnard didn't extend his foot to steal the ball. Instead, he lowered his shoulder, lowered his center of gravity, and used his body to resist the imposing Rusty!
Intercepting without stealing the ball... This was simply an extremely arrogant confrontation!
In fact, it wasn't that Gunnard didn't want to steal the ball, but he hadn't trained much in stealing the ball in his previous life. If he forced it, he would only show his weakness in front of Coach Carter.
So, why bother stealing the ball or using any defensive techniques?
This was a confrontation test! Just do it!
The blood in Gunnard's veins roared, his adrenaline surged, and his muscles were filled with explosive power, releasing it all onto Rusty's body!
Rusty also stopped protecting the ball and collided with Gunnard with all his might!
Bang!
Their bodies collided and bounced back a step, then instantly pressed against each other again, wrestling for control!
This was a true physical confrontation!
Rusty's second burst of power was still strong, but Gunnard cleverly lowered his center of gravity.
Rusty's expression changed from ferocious to disbelief!
Rusty gritted his teeth, his face flushed, and desperately reached out to push Gunnard.
Gunnard raised his hand to block Rusty's elbow and seized the opportunity to suddenly exert force!
Full strength! Fair charge +1!
One-second true man!
Push!
...!!!
