2 to 8 seems to have really touched the "nerve" of the Gunners. In order to maintain the image of the so-called "rich club", before the summer window closed, the "Gunners" started a crazy "fire" rush to buy!
From the evening of August 29th to the evening of August 30th, Arsenal’s official website was constantly updated with news about new players joining.
28-year-old Brazilian international left-back Andre Santos, transfer fee of 6.2 million pounds, 4-year contract, weekly salary of 40,000 pounds;
26-year-old German international center back Per Mertesacker, transfer fee of 8 million pounds, 4-year contract, weekly salary of 80,000 pounds;
Even the 26-year-old South Korean captain Park Ju-yong is on the list of the Gunners' successful emergency purchases.
But 18-year-old Lei Yu has never been noticed.
Lei Yu began to feel that what Wenger had said to him before and the match the day before yesterday were just a figment of his imagination.
That damn flip phone never rang. Inside the rental house, Lei Yu was extremely angry.
"Just wait, since you don't want me, I will make you regret it sooner or later!"
Lei Yu gritted his teeth and looked at his attributes again.
At this moment, the novice mission reward in the corner caught Lei Yu's attention.
"Yes, I also completed a newbie mission!"
Thinking of this, Lei Yu quickly chose to check it out!
"Huh? Random talent draw card?"
[Ding: Congratulations on your talent extraction and further advancement]
[One step closer: Every time a defensive player is passed, the goal rate of consecutive shots will be increased! 】
[Please ask the host whether to choose equipment. Note: After selecting equipment, it cannot be changed or replaced]
"Does passing through people increase the scoring rate of consecutive shots?"
"Wait a minute, let me see what my dribbling value is..."
"No! My dribbling accuracy is perfect!"
This talent matches my attributes perfectly!
Thinking of this, Lei Yu chose the equipment without saying anything.
[Ding: Talent equipment successful]
[One step closer to lv1: every time a forward is passed, the goal rate is increased by 5%; every time a midfielder is passed, the goal rate is increased by 10%; every time a defender is passed, the goal rate is increased by 20%; after passing a defender, the goal rate is increased by 20%;
Lose the goalkeeper and increase the goal rate by 50%. Note: Only the first shot of this possession!]
Good guy, with this talent, am I still afraid that I won't be able to become a star?
Thinking of this, Lei Yu converted the emotional value accumulated in that day's competition into upgrade coupons.
[Ding: Upgrade Coupon 1]
"System, how to use this upgrade coupon?"
[Ability value below 60 points can be exchanged for 1 attribute point with 1 upgrade coupon, 60-70 requires 5 coupons to exchange for 1 point, 70-80 requires 10 coupons, 80-90 requires 20 coupons, and 90-100 requires 50 coupons.
】
[Temporarily breaking through the upper limit of ability (100) requires 100 upgrade coupons. 】
[Reduce recovery time: fluctuates according to the severity of the injury]
【......】
After figuring out the rules, Lei Yu fell into deep thought.
It seems that the main way to improve your abilities is to rely on these upgrade coupons.
But in which direction should we upgrade?
Should we first bring all attributes to the passing line of 60 points?
Or focus on highlighting an important attribute?
Should I be a "mediocre weirdo" or a "gifted superman"?
Thinking about the international players in later generations who averaged 50 or 60 points and dared not take the lead, Lei Yu immediately decided that it would be more cost-effective to highlight his own strengths!
One fresh trick, eaten all over the world!
My dribbling accuracy is already at full 100. If my dribbling speed reaches full value, wouldn't it mean that people blocking the ball will kill people, and Buddha blocking will kill the Buddha?
Thinking of this, Lei Yu has decided to upgrade all speed-related attributes to above 90 points first.
...
Until the transfer window closed, the first-team professional contract that Lei Yu was looking forward to never arrived.
Lei Yu couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.
On the morning of September 1, Lei Yu came to the Kearney training base and prepared to discuss his future direction with coach Bould.
"Good morning, lucky Asian boy, you don't look like you are in good spirits."
Can I be in good spirits?
The phone didn't ring until 12 o'clock last night, and I couldn't sleep well all night.
"Uh...Coach Boulder, the truth is, I don't know what to do next!"
Lei Yu said it very cryptically.
If Arsenal doesn't keep him here and he still wants to stay in England, he must at least get a letter of introduction from Arsenal.
"Ray, is this your first day in Kearney?"
Boulder looked surprised, "Of course it's daily training, and then prepare for the game!"
"Contest?"
These two words sounded a little harsh to Lei Yu, and he was also a little confused. "But Mr. Arsene..."
"Oh, I forgot to tell you."
Boulder slapped his forehead.
"Lei, starting from today, you can already play for Arsenal's second team. If you don't have any objections, you can initial a contract in the next few days."
"Team 2?!"
"That's right!" Boulder snapped his fingers.
"Young man, perform well. If you can score another goal on the field this season like you did in the training match a few days ago, I think the professor will consider transferring you to the first team after the season!"
Hearing this, Lei Yu suddenly realized and secretly blamed himself for being too impatient.
Wenger likes to discover young talents, and Arsenal is also interested in exploring the Asian market during this period.
But it doesn’t mean that he has lost his mind on the “youth blind box”.
Just like Neon Nation's talented player Miyaichi Ryo, after signing with Arsenal last winter, he was immediately loaned out and just returned to the team this summer.
With Wenger's personality, there is probably only one reason why he stayed in the second team instead of renting out, and that is that in the eyes of the professor, he is not qualified to play for other clubs under the name "Arsenal".
At least let’s train with Arsenal U23 for a while first!
It seems that there is a long way to go to gain the trust of the head coach!
They come, the security.
Two days later, Lei Yu looked at the table with a salary of only 2,500 pounds per week and a five-year contract, and his uneasy heart finally fell back into his stomach.
With this contract, at least I don't have to go to other teams in England to try my luck with a letter of introduction, let alone go back to the J-League to find football to play.
And another advantage of being in the second team is that as long as the first team needs it, you can be called up to play for the first team at any time!
As long as I can seize a chance in the Arsenal first team game...hehehe!
Thinking of this, Lei Yu brushed his hands and signed his name on the contract.
Seeing that Lei Yu did not make any mistakes and signed the signature smoothly, the staff stood up with satisfaction and extended his hand.
"Mr. Lei, welcome to officially join Arsenal! I wish you better development!"
