In the away team locker room, Rolin checked the system rewards while taking a shower.
He had been too excited earlier and completely forgot about the system rewards.
“The Bundesliga debut mission has been completed.
Given that this match is the host’s first professional match, you have obtained 5 Free Attribute Points and 1 Diamond Treasure Chest.” Rolin slowly stopped scrubbing, a look of confusion on his face.
Do treasure chests even have levels?
Just then, a mechanical electronic voice sounded in his mind: “When issuing mission rewards, the system will comprehensively consider the opponent’s strength, the host’s performance, and mission completion to evaluate the host’s performance, and issue treasure chests of corresponding grades based on the specific performance.” Treasure chests are divided into four tiers, from low to high: Silver Treasure Chest, Gold Treasure Chest, Platinum Treasure Chest, and Diamond Treasure Chest.
Inside the treasure chests are signature skills of legendary football stars.
Skill proficiency can be improved by accumulating experience points through daily training and matches.
The higher the skill proficiency, the better the host’s action completion and the stronger the practical combat effect.
Silver Treasure Chest (Low-level) Contains a single signature skill of a certain legendary football star, with a fixed proficiency of Level 1; Experience points required for upgrade: 1000 points; Skill effect: Only basic movements are mastered, practical combat effect is poor, high error rate, without any corresponding attribute bonuses.
Gold Treasure Chest (Elite) Contains a single signature skill of a certain legendary football star, with a fixed proficiency of Level 2; Experience points required for upgrade: 3000 points; Skill effect: Action transitions are smooth and natural, practical combat error rate is reduced by 30%, without any corresponding attribute bonuses.
Platinum Treasure Chest (Epic) Contains a single signature skill of a certain legendary football star, with a fixed proficiency of Level 3; Experience points required for upgrade: 5000 points; Skill effect: Actions are mastered to perfection, practical combat error rate is reduced by 60%, with a small attribute bonus.
Diamond Treasure Chest (Legendary) Contains a complete set of signature skills of a certain legendary football star, and the skills directly unlock max-level proficiency; Skill effect: Perfectly replicates the legendary signature skills, extremely strong practical combat effect, with a large attribute bonus.
Rolin took a long time to digest and figure out what this reward was all about.
It seemed that if he wanted to obtain high-grade treasure chests in the future, he had to work hard to improve himself and strive for a perfect performance on the pitch.
As for skill proficiency, Rolin wasn’t worried.
It was nothing more than training and matches; he just needed to work desperately hard.
Rolin looked at the Diamond Treasure Chest with glowing eyes, unable to suppress the excitement in his heart.
This was the highest-level treasure chest, and it all depended on which star he would unlock.
Before opening it, Rolin put his hands together and bowed, praying to unlock a super star.
The moment the treasure chest opened, the dazzling light made it impossible for him to open his eyes.
The light gradually faded, and the phantom in front of him slowly solidified into a bald head!
When Rolin saw his appearance clearly, he jumped and shouted with excitement, acting like he was crazy.
This bald head was none other than Zidane.
Kaiser, who was showering next door, smiled and nodded: “This is more like an eighteen-year-old kid!” Meanwhile, Rolin was checking the skills he had acquired.
Marseille turn: Dribbling 180-degree rotation followed by a turn to shake off defense, a sharp weapon for breaking through defenses.
Diagonal long pass: Large-arc diagonal shift after breaking away with the ball, a sharp weapon for breaking dense defenses.
Volley from the Heavens: Violent side-on volley, a sharp weapon for scoring goals in scrambles.
If he weren’t worried that his teammates would suspect something was wrong with his brain, he really would have wanted to put his hands on his hips and laugh for a while.
He not only acquired three max-level skills, but his corresponding attributes such as dribbling, passing, shooting, and curving were also improved.
Seeing that there were still 5 free attributes left, Rolin hesitated for a moment before adding them to passing.
[Name]: Rolin Bachmann [Nationality]: Germany [Age]: 18 years old [Height]: 182cm [Weight]: 78kg [Left and Right Foot Proficiency]: Balanced left and right feet with no weaker foot Physical Fitness [Stamina]: 95 [Speed]: 92 [Explosiveness]: 90 [Balance]: 88 [Jumping]: 82 [Foot Strength]: 92 [Physical Confrontation]: 85 Football Skills [Ball Control]: 83 [Dribbling]: 81 [Shooting]: 84 [Heading]: 65 [Ground Pass]: 85 [Aerial Pass]: 84 [Defense]: 76 [Tackling]: 73 [Football IQ]: 90 [Set Piece]: 70 [Curving]: 73 [Overall Rating]: 82 [Skills]: Marseille turn (Max Level), Diagonal long pass (Max Level), Volley from the Heavens (Max Level).
Looking at his attribute panel, Rolin shouted silently under the shower head, the veins on his neck bulging.
Although the overall rating was only 82, it was enough for him to gain a foothold in the Bundesliga.
Rolin now extremely craved the arrival of the next match!
— “Paul, what do you think of this kid?” asked Streich, head coach of the U20 National Youth Team.
The assistant coach casually turned off the TV and said with a smile: “You’ve already observed him for so long, doesn’t that already explain everything?” Seeing that Streich didn’t speak, Paul shrugged and continued: “Whether in the youth League or the Bundesliga, his performance has been very eye-catching.
The most critical thing is that he is an all-around player in both offense and defense, exactly what our midfield needs.
I don’t think there’s anything to hesitate about, even if he’s only eighteen, so what!” Streich indeed needed an all-around midfielder who was good at both attack and defense, and he had indeed observed him for several months.
From his first match in the youth League all the way to his debut in the Bundesliga.
In the youth League, Rolin was definitely a massive killer on the pitch, a top player in the League on both ends of offense and defense, with no one second to none.
Rolin’s performance over the past few months had completely moved him.
But Rolin had not been selected for the national youth teams of various age groups before.
Bringing him into the U20 National Youth Team rashly, he worried it would attract criticism.
As he came on as a substitute in the Bundesliga and delivered a beautiful assist, these worries also vanished into thin air.
Coupled with the support of the assistant coach, he decided to recruit Rolin into his squad to prepare for next year’s U20 World Cup.
Germany’s last championship victory can be traced back to the distant year of 1981, when they still participated under the name of West Germany.
Ever since the disastrous defeat in the 2000 European Cup, the German Football Association initiated an epic youth training reform, requiring the Bundesliga and 2.
Bundesliga to set up standardized youth training camps.
And this reform yielded fruitful results, with Germany sweeping the U17, U19, and U21 European Championship titles.
They cultivated a host of excellent players such as Müller, Kroos, Neuer, Mats Hummels, and Mario Götze, laying a solid foundation for winning the World Cup in 2014.
As the saying goes, things decline after reaching their peak.
Over time, the talent depth of the 98 age group suffered a cliff-like decline, far inferior to the 90-94 golden generation.
After 2015, Germany never won the European Youth Championship or World Youth Championship again.
At the European Youth Championship held at home in 2016, Germany finished bottom of their group and was eliminated, creating the worst result in a locally hosted tournament.
In the end, relying on a penalty shootout win over the Netherlands in the play-offs, they managed to secure tickets to the 2017 U20 World Cup.
Streich hoped that Rolin could inject something different into this U20 National Youth Team.
He felt that this generation of young players played too soft and gradually lost their grit and the belief in winning.
And Rolin was a player with a tough playing style and extremely strong physical confrontation ability, exactly the rarest type among young German players.
Having made up his mind, Streich directly made a phone call.
Rolin naturally wouldn’t refuse this opportunity.
He was also pinning his hopes on performing well in the U20 National Youth Team and being recruited into the national team.
And the goal he had always strived for was to step onto the stage of the World Cup.
