World's No.1 Football Manager

Chapter 223 The Perfect Season

Everyone in the Taishan team just wants to go back to the locker room quickly, leave the devilish Hongkou Stadium as soon as possible, and escape from the sad city of Shanghai as soon as possible.

But they can't go now, because there is an award ceremony after the game.

Not only did they want to witness with their own eyes, the Shenhua team ascended to the throne of kings stepping on their dead bodies.Even at the opponent's home court, receive the FA Cup runner-up trophy.

In full view, this is tantamount to naked humiliation.

But the procedure still needs to be followed. Taishan team soldiers shook hands with the leaders of the Football Association one by one. When the vice chairman of the Football Association passed by Li Xiaopeng, he just shook hands symbolically, and there was no other communication.

When captain Hao Junmin got the runner-up trophy, the third brother's expression was uglier than crying.

A season of hard work, fighting on three fronts, moving to the north and south, training hard, defeating strong enemies repeatedly, but in the end only won a runner-up trophy.It's like going through ninety-nine and eighty-one hardships, trekking through mountains and rivers, slaying demons and eliminating demons all the way, and finally arrived at the Pure Land of Paradise in the West, and found the scriptures.

According to legend, the fruit harvested after hard work is delicious and sweet, but the hard work that falls short makes this fruit unexpectedly bitter!

at the post-match press conference.Li Xiaopeng only said one sentence: "This game was the worst game our team played this season, but it happened to be the best game played by the Shenhua team. I am responsible for all the losses! I bear all the responsibilities and consequences!"

On the bus back to the hotel, the atmosphere froze to freezing point, no one spoke, everyone was thinking about their own thoughts.

Gao Yuan remembered that this scene seemed familiar. In the AFC Champions League knockout round, when Evergrande lost on penalties, the whole team was extremely depressed, but the atmosphere at this moment seemed to be more depressed than then, and everyone was even more depressed.After all, it was only in the middle of the season, and there was still hope for the future; and the end of this game declared the end of the entire season, and everything was settled.

Gao Yuan still remembers the conversation between Li Xiaopeng and himself after the defeat in the knockout match of the AFC Champions League.

Like an earnest and seductive elder, he told himself, "If there is a lack of great success, there are nine out of ten unsatisfactory things in life. Only with shortcomings is permanence, and imperfection is life. We have worked hard to the extreme, and what we lose is only fate, and that is enough."

However, things are now.Li Xiaopeng, who has just experienced the most painful defeat in his life and career, still thinks this way?
Lying on the hotel bed, Gao Yuan tossed and turned.Recalling the bits and pieces of this season, as well as the gains and losses of the team and myself.

Was this season a success?It must not be considered a success. The AFC Champions League stopped at the top 16, the Chinese Super League only got No.5, the FA Cup failed to win, and even lost the qualification to compete in the AFC Champions League next year.

But is this season a failure?Of course it can't be considered a failure!
At the beginning of the season, everyone was not optimistic about the Taishan team, and lost the most important foreign aid Jill in the middle of the season. When they were underestimated again and again, the team united as one and survived.Not only did the third-line battle not collapse, but also cultivated a group of newcomers such as Duan Liuyu and Liu Yang;

How would you rate this season?After thinking about it, Gao Yuan can only use "extraordinary" to characterize it.

This is an extraordinary season. The club has worked hard together. They have changed a lot, improved a lot, and cultivated a lot. Maybe it is only based on the results, but it has laid a solid foundation for the future. Maybe ten years later, when people look back, they will find that all the turning points and changes in the future of the club stem from this extraordinary season.

And this extraordinary season, is it not the case for Gao Yuan himself?He has grown from a Wei Pei coach from an amateur team to a gold medal assistant coach who is well-known in the domestic football circle, from a team manager who is not even an assistant coach to the champion coach of the reserve league.Compared with these achievements, what he has learned, experienced, influenced and influenced is more worth remembering.

Thinking of this, Gao Yuan was relieved. "Heaven sends a great mission to a man, he must first suffer his will, exhaust his muscles and bones, starve his body, deprive him of his body, and disturb his actions, so he must be motivated to endure and gain what he cannot."This season, I have experienced doubts and trust, slander and praise, victory and failure, hope and loss... With the tempering of this season, the road to football in the future will be full of thorns and ups and downs, and I will not be afraid of challenges and make great strides forward.

This season may not be perfect for the team; but for Gao Yuan, it is the most perfect season!
After figuring this out, the depression in Gao Yuan's heart disappeared, and he slept soundly.

The next day, upon waking up, Gao Yuan found that the system had been upgraded.

Sure enough, the chicken thief's system only gives rewards after the entire season is over!As an assistant coach, Gao Yuan's achievements were the top 16 of the AFC Champions League, fifth in the league, and runner-up in the FA Cup; as the head coach of the reserve team, he won the first championship trophy in his career-the champion of the reserve team league.

Gao Yuan couldn't wait to check his system changes.

The level on the main menu has changed to LV6.

My own CA has reached 150, and this CA is already qualified to be the coach of the Chinese Super League first team.

And various ability attributes have also been further improved.Especially judging that the player's ability/potential has reached 20, which is the full level!In addition, attributes such as personnel management, motivation, and discipline have all reached 18, which is also top-level data.

Compared with these, Gaoyuan cares more about prestige points and new functions.

Gao Yuan was taken aback when he saw the number of reputation points!There are a lot of 1s after the number 0 at the beginning. Gao Yuan counted it 3 times carefully. That's right, 5 "0s"!His reputation has actually reached 10!
Gao Yuan has never lived such a rich life, and Gao Yuan's eyes are dizzy with happiness.

But immediately, Gao Yuan thought about yesterday's game.If these prestige points were given to him one day earlier, then the Taishan team would not be able to lose. At this moment, the Taishan team will definitely enjoy the glory of the championship!

As for himself who won the FA Cup, his prestige value might be 20!

Maybe this is why the system doesn't settle reputation points in the middle of the season.

This chicken thief's system!

Gao Yuan continued to look down, only to find that the "permanently increase 1 point of ability/N points of reputation" that had been dark before was lit up.

This heaven-defying function is finally available!Although it is foreseeable, the cost will definitely be a huge amount of reputation.

If you continue to read, there is actually an additional option, "Increase 1 Potential/N Reputation Points". This option is new, and it is still dark, which means that this is a more advanced function and cannot be enabled for the time being.

Improving potential does not seem to be as straightforward as improving ability, but when you think about it carefully, it is even more rare.The potential is there, as long as the training method is appropriate, coupled with hard training, it is possible to reach that height sooner or later.But the potential has a ceiling. After reaching the peak, no matter how hard you try, you can't break through the ceiling.But now the system gives a way to improve their potential, which is good news for players who have reached the peak!
For example, his five tiger generals.Qiu Feng's speed is 12/14, even if he trains hard to the limit, it will be 14.But if it can improve his potential, it doesn't need to be too high, even if he reaches 17.So what is the concept of a wide player with 17 speed and 20 crosses?In the international transfer market, the worth should start at 8000 million euros!
Exciting just thinking about it!
In addition to these, Gao Yuan went to the system store again and found some new things on the shelves.

For example, a bottle of blue reagent, it is written in the introduction that it can increase stamina value +3 in a single game, a bottle of red reagent can increase speed by +3 in a single game, and a yellow reagent can increase passing +3 in a single game...
This thing is amazing, if in a game, a certain player is used with various reagents of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue and purple at the same time, wouldn't he become an all-round fighter!
But when Gao Yuan looked at the price, he gave up on the idea just now, a bottle of reagent is 5000 prestige points.

Robbery!
There are also some new gadgets.For example, sports equipment such as sneakers and goalkeeper gloves used to only improve the current ability value, but now there are sports equipment that can improve the potential; there are also shin pads, knee pads and other protective gear, which are written in the instructions to reduce the risk of injury. Probability; there is also a small three-no pill, which is said to speed up the recovery time of injuries...

There are many types of things, but they all have one characteristic, that is, they are expensive, and they can easily cost tens of thousands of prestige points.

From this point of view, Gao Yuan's 10 prestige points are simply untenable!

It seems that the landlord's family has no surplus food!It is still necessary to continue to carry forward the fine tradition of frugality.

After the team had breakfast, they boarded the high-speed train for the return trip.

It's just that Li Xiaopeng can't go back with the team yet, he has to stay in Shanghai to attend today's awards ceremony.

This is tantamount to digging out the grave and whipping the corpse again!
