What kind of football player is handsome?

Chapter 44 The System's Excited Too?! Upgrade Rewards Released, Now There's a Reason to Up

Under the reward, there must be a brave man.

Leicester City are in high spirits, having defeated strong rivals Norwich City at home and also secured an away win against Scunthorpe United.

The winning streak came to an abrupt end in the 38th round.

The team suffered a narrow defeat at home to Portsmouth, and their position in the standings remains fifth.

They are now four points ahead of seventh-placed Nottingham Forest, which puts them firmly in the promotion play-off zone.

Thanks to his outstanding performance, Liu Yi once again won the Championship Player of the Month award.

This time, the system also gave out exclusive rewards.

[Congratulations, host, on completing the cyclical mission: League Player of the Month!]

[Win a chance to win a Bronze-level badge!]

The rewards for the previous three best player upgrade badges can no longer be triggered because only the "Wu King" badge can be upgraded from Iron to Bronze. He has also played abroad and proven himself in La Liga.

The remaining two players' potential is likely limited to Iron rank.

This also means that the players that can be obtained with the bronze badge are roughly at the level of "main players in the top five leagues", and there is still a clear threshold between them and true star players.

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Lukaku "Simmering on the Sidelines" Bronze Badge!]

Lukaku?

He was only at the bronze level.

That makes sense. Lu Yuanwai is very famous, but his individual achievements are lacking; he can't compare to a top striker like Ibrahimovic.

However, the King of Martial Arts and Goodwin are still a tier above each other.

Like Anthony, he is considered an SSR in the Bronze pool.

Thinking of this, Liu Yi felt much better.

At 1.9 meters tall and weighing 200 pounds, how come he can't pull off a powerful, explosive ride?

[Congratulations, host, on successfully equipping the Lukaku "Simmering on the Sidelines" badge!]

[Attribute Bonus: Physical Strength +2, Shooting Power +1]

[Countering 68-70↑]

[Shot power 71-72↑]

[Short haircut, beer belly, my name is Kaku, remember that.]

[Special Effect: When your weight exceeds 190 pounds, your speed when breaking through on the flanks increases by 5%!]

Liu Yi snorted coldly.

It has no special effects whatsoever.

Because his weight is far less than 190 pounds.

With such muscle mass and bone structure, his assessment would have been "world-class around the neck."

Of course, the possibility of the system being cheated again in the future cannot be ruled out.

For example, like the Tsukumo Yuki, it can freely control its mass and still look like a sleek and streamlined body, but in reality, if it crashes into someone, it will smash them directly under the GG sign.

The past two months have yielded good results, with slight improvements in physical fitness, shooting power, and passing.

Current panel:

进攻意识90/射术82/射门力量72/头球40/任意球50

Ball control 80 / Dribbling 68 / Passing 58

Speed ​​77 / Stamina 69 / Combat 70

Defense 20 / Goalkeeping 10

Overall rating: 71-72↑

Looking at the increasingly abundant data on the panel, Liu Yi secretly clenched his fist.

I hope to get an overall rating of 75 before the start of next season.

75 points – that's pretty much enough to secure a place in one of the top five European leagues.

It would be difficult for him to compete for a starting position at Manchester United, but if he were loaned out to a mid-to-lower table team, he should be more than qualified to be a starter.

Liu Yi believes that if he had been loaned to Leicester City at the beginning of the season, he would probably be the strongest contender for the Championship Golden Boot by now.

none of them.

【Ding……】

A crisp notification sound rang in his mind, pulling him back to reality.

[Upgrade task released!]

[Task Line 1: The team is in the promotion play-off zone at the end of the season]

[Reward: 1 random Bronze-level badge]

[Task Line Two: The team reaches the promotion play-off final, or the team finishes second in the Championship and is automatically promoted.]

[Reward: 1 random Silver-tier badge]

[Ultimate Mission: The team must win the promotion play-offs to secure the final ticket to the Premier League, or win the Championship to gain direct promotion!]

[Reward: 1 random Silver-tier badge, plus a second chance to draw a template!!]

Is this system made by Blizzard? I'm playing Hearthstone here, and they've even added a questline.

Let's do a simple analysis.

Task one was easy to complete, but the bronze badge... to be honest, Liu Yi didn't really care about it anymore.

They've made it to the promotion playoff final...

Leicester City's current strength is definitely among the top three in the Championship, and with the help of their midfielder, plus the two-legged tie offering slightly more room for error, all things considered, the chances of them accomplishing this task are very high.

And what if the top two teams advance directly?

With eight rounds remaining in the league, Leicester City are in fifth place, only seven points behind second-placed Norwich. Theoretically, this is quite difficult, but not impossible.

But what really mattered to Liu Yi was the ultimate mission!

Second chance to draw a template!

Currently, Liu Yi's "Handsome Guy" template has been fully developed, and the eight badge slots will eventually be filled, and the potential limit will slowly reach its ceiling.

Unlocking a second player template is not just about having more badge slots—it means breaking through the current talent ceiling and achieving a super evolution from "top in a certain area" to "multi-dimensional monster".

The Championship title is out of the question, given QPR's strong foundation; unless they all have a major blunder, the chances of them losing are extremely low.

But the playoff champion...

I, Liu, am determined to have it. Who agrees? Who disagrees?

Old Sina Sports.

Dong Fangzhuo's lightning-fast goal: Has Sir Alex Ferguson changed his mind? Will Manchester United field a Chinese attacking line next season?

The number of clicks skyrocketed instantly.

"A major overhaul at Manchester United! They're pushing Rooney and Berbatov to make room for Liu Yi and Dong Fangzhuo in the starting lineup next season!"

The fans were stunned.

I was just about to scroll down to leave a comment.

There was a line of small print at the end of the article.

"The above content is entirely fictional. Today is April Fool's Day, so happy April Fool's Day everyone :)"

The comment section was instantly flooded with criticism.

The fans grumbled and left the page, not forgetting to give it a dislike before they left.

On the other hand, Leicester City...

There was indeed a short interview with Liu Yi.

The incident stemmed from the growing number of local Leicester City fans of Liu Yi, prompting the club to organize a small event to help people learn more about the team's star striker.

The activity's question was simple: "What is your ideal player model?"

Basically, it's about choosing the player you think is the strongest for each body part.

The club assigned Liu Yi a partner, Pogba.

It's easier to find a starting point when two people are very familiar with each other.

Clearing his throat, Liu Yi gestured to Pogba: "You go first."

Pogba thought for a moment.

"Right foot... I'd pick Zidane, left foot, Pires, what about you, bro?"

Liu Yi blurted it out.

"Pele on the right foot, Maradona on the left."

Pogba: ...

Choosing the more expensive one means choosing the right one, right?

The French midfielder continued, "Speed ​​like Thierry Henry, skill like Zidane..."

Liu Yi: "Wait, why did you only choose French players?"

Pogba replied seriously, "You could just choose Chinese players!"

Liu Yi replied, "I can't choose myself for all five positions; that would seem too narcissistic."

That makes sense.

Who hasn't encountered a top student in school who excelled in all subjects, ranking first in Chinese, math, English, and overall academics, and also achieving the highest score in the class?

"Well... if we're talking about offensive awareness, I'll choose you!"

Pogba hesitated for a moment, feeling that he was putting his older brother in a very difficult position.

"Don't be ridiculous, Paul. You could find at least ten strikers with better offensive awareness than me!"

Pogba shook his head.

"Brother, I have factual basis for choosing you."

"What's the basis for this?"

"Look, you can't find another striker in the entire football world as adept at surprise attacks as you. From this perspective, isn't your attacking awareness world-class?"

Liu Yi: ...

So it's not just the media.

So even you think my offensive opportunities were all stolen?!
