Kaka Template

"This... this way of scoring, why does it look so much like Kaka?"

"I thought I was the only one who felt that way!"

"Their playing styles are really similar!"

"It's not just the style; even their looks are ridiculously handsome!"

"A silver saddle and a white horse, a jade tree facing the wind—who would have thought our National Football Team would have such a figure!"

"I am really looking forward to this Youth World Cup more and more!"

The 30 minutes of extra time ended quickly. Thanks to this goal from Lin Feng, the Youth National Team ultimately completed a comeback to defeat the German team with a score of 4:3.

After the match, the players of the German team looked as if they had lost their souls, staring blankly at the sky with hollow eyes.

Who am I, and where am I?

What am I doing?

Clearly, most of them had not yet recovered from the blow of that incredible goal by Lin Feng.

Damn it, how could there be such a terrifying monster in the Youth World Cup?

Meanwhile, the players and substitutes of the Youth National Team began to celebrate wildly the moment the whistle blew, celebrating this hard-won victory.

Lin Feng stood to the side, watching it all with a smile, a look of fatherly gratification on his face.

"Why aren't you celebrating with us?"

Chen Tao walked over, draped an arm over his shoulder, and asked with a grin.

"No thanks, I'm afraid of getting covered in sweat!"

"Hmm? Really?"

Chen Tao raised an eyebrow. Before Lin Feng could answer, he grabbed the hem of his jersey and wiped it messily across his own face.

"No need to worry anymore, I've already helped you get covered in sweat. Don't mention it!"

After wiping his sweat, seemingly anticipating that Lin Feng would get angry, he took off running, as fast as a rabbit.

Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, then chased after Chen Tao in a fit of exasperated rage:

"You bastard, if you've got guts, don't run!"

Chen Tao laughed as he ran:

"Hahaha, that's what you get for being a show-off! Were you thinking about signing autographs for female fans, which is why you wanted to stay so clean?!"

Which young girl doesn't dream of love, and which young man isn't a bit of a closet romantic?

They were in the prime of their youth, the age when hormones are at their peak.

Moreover, as the face of the Youth National Team, Lin Feng possessed a natural ability to attract bees and butterflies, catching the eyes of a large crowd of female fans wherever he went.

Chen Tao considered himself an experienced veteran and could understand!

"Understand your head! Can't a guy just love being clean for once?"

"Pfft, who would believe you!"

Watching this group of young people chasing and playing on the pitch, the head coach of the Youth National Team, Klopp, wore a gratified smile.

After defeating the German team, the Youth National Team successfully advanced to the next round, reaching the quarterfinals.

This achievement had already equaled the historical record set by the Youth National Team at the 1985 Soviet Union Youth World Cup.

He had basically completed the goal set for him by the Football Association.

As for whether they could go further, besides relying on their own performance, it would also require a little bit of luck.

The news of the Youth National Team's comeback victory over the German team and their advancement to the quarterfinals spread across the country as if it had grown wings.

Major media outlets reported on this victory immediately. During that evening's news broadcast, CCTV Headquarters not only dedicated 30 seconds to covering the match but even played the entire process of the goal scored by Lin Feng.

In an instant, the popularity of the Youth World Cup and this Youth National Team skyrocketed domestically. Overnight, the team gained hundreds of millions of 'ten-year old fans'.

Lin Feng also left a deep impression on many people with this goal, causing countless others to remember his name.

This match not only caused a huge sensation domestically but also attracted the attention of many in Europe.

Quite a few scouts, who had originally come for players like Messi and Fàbregas, quietly added Lin Feng's name to their scouting lists.

Especially on the side of the eliminated German team, the broadcast of this match caused a stir within Germany as well.

Many German clubs noticed Lin Feng through this match and subsequently developed the idea of poaching him.

Lin Feng did not know that he had already become famous.

He was currently lying comfortably on his hotel bed, confirming the gains from this match.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the national team debut mission!]

[Personal evaluation: SS]

[Mission reward: Main module fusion progress increased by 10%, sub module development progress +10%!]

Hmm?

The System's last reminder piqued the curiosity of Lin Feng.

Using his thoughts to open the System panel in his mind, he indeed discovered a new, greyed-out, and unusable module appearing beside the main module.

Only a tiny portion at the bottom of the module was lit up; he would need to illuminate the entire thing before it could be used.

This system in his mind, whose name he did not know, was something he had accidentally acquired ten years ago.

For a very long time at the beginning, the system in his mind had no reaction, only popping up a sign-in reminder every single day.

He signed in for eight full years just like that, until finally, in the summer of 2003, he gathered enough points to unlock the system's first function.

After opening the first template of the system, Lin Feng's luck exploded, and he drew an S-class star player card.

As for why Lin Feng's playing style was so similar to Kaka?

The reason was actually very simple: the owner of the S-class template he obtained was none other than Peak Kaka!

After equipping the star player card, Lin Feng could gain a portion of the player's abilities from their peak period based on the activation percentage.

If the fusion progress reached 100%, Lin Feng would be able to obtain the player's full strength.

Before this match, Lin Feng had only activated 70% of Peak Kaka's abilities.

But now, with the 10% added from this mission reward, he could unleash 80% of Kaka's peak strength.

How strong was Peak Kaka? One only needed to look at the 2007 AC Milan to know.

That year could truly be said to be Kaka dragging the team forward, almost single-handedly leading the team to win the Champions League title.

He himself also won the last Ballon d'Or trophy before the Messi-Ronaldo era, making both Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo his foils.

It was just a pity that Kaka's peak period was too short, like a meteor streaking across the sky.

Though the light was brilliant, the time was ultimately too short, leaving countless fans sighing and lamenting.

If Lin Feng could fully reach the height of Peak Kaka and maintain that level for a long time, it was not impossible for him to compete with the peerless duo who would later dominate the football world.

However, being an S-class template, the difficulty of fully activating it was immense.

Previously, Lin Feng had to play several matches just to increase the fusion progress by 1%.

He hadn't expected that playing one match for the national team would yield such a huge reward, even unlocking a second template.

At this rate, wouldn't he be able to fully activate the Kaka template very soon?

Jade on the road, an unrivaled young master.

Kaka's playing style was elegant, graceful as a dancer, and sharp as a swordsman.

Coupled with his handsome appearance and the clean, refreshing temperament of a sunny boy, he captivated thousands of young girls.

Who could refuse to become a star player like Kaka?

Now, he had to strive to play more matches for the national team!

Of course, besides wanting to further accelerate the fusion progress of the Kaka template.

There were many other reasons why Lin Feng wanted to help the China Youth Team go further.

As a reborn person, he had witnessed with his own eyes the subsequent sinking and degradation of the national football team.

He had also felt regret for this China Youth Team countless times in the dead of night when he couldn't sleep.

What if the China Youth Team's results in the Youth World Cup had been a little better, and Klopp hadn't been fired?

What if the Olympic team, built on the foundation of this China Youth Team, had performed better at the 2008 Beijing Olympics?

Would the future of Chinese football have been completely different?

The worse the results of the national football team, the more abuse they received.

And the louder the abuse, the greater the psychological burden on the national football players, leading to worse performances on the field, which in turn made the results even worse.

In this way, the national football team fell into a death spiral.

The national team's record went from bad to worse, with no bottom in sight; after losing to Thailand and Vietnam, the next step would be losing to Myanmar or even Singapore.

Whether they watched football or not, anyone could curse the national team, and they did so with righteous indignation; the national team had become the spittoon of the entire nation in terms of public opinion.

But what if the China Youth Team won?

Could the death spiral be reversed into a positive cycle?

Would the future of Chinese football change because of this?

Lin Feng didn't know the final outcome, but he wanted to give it a try.
