Career UEFA Champions League Debut, The System is Going Wild!

Seeing the system actually give an additional reward for the first time, Li Yufei instantly felt like he had endless energy to burn.

After all, the last time the system rewarded a skill was back when Li Yufei first joined Arsenal Club.

There were three stages in Li Yufei's life: first, the beginner's gift pack when he got the system, which gave him the skill [The Flash].

Then, when he confirmed his relationship with Taylor and completed the binding, he got the skill [Iron Man].

Finally, when he joined Arsenal Club's Youth Training team, he obtained the skill [Great Basic Skills].

At three major life milestones, the system had generously rewarded him with three skills.

And it was relying on these three skills that Li Yufei could quickly gain a foothold and start dominating the various youth tiers.

In fact, without these three skills, Li Yufei could never have become the so-called "super prodigy."

After all, many of Li Yufei's other attributes weren't outstanding, and a few even failed to pass.

Now, with the chance to get the fourth skill of his life, Li Yufei was naturally pumped as hell.

As for items, Li Yufei admitted he had never even seen what an item looked like, because he had never obtained one!

This time, with the opportunity to snag both an item and a skill in one go, Li Yufei was definitely going to go all out.

But as soon as he saw the requirements for the additional task reward, Li Yufei felt it was a bit tricky.

Damn, he actually needed a post-match rating of 10!

You see, a perfect post-match rating of 10 was no easy feat.

Li Yufei remembered from his past life that even many players who completed a Hat-trick couldn't get a 10 in their post-match rating.

Clearly, getting a 10 in the post-match rating was incredibly tough!

Especially when Wenger might very well sub him off early.

If he didn't even play the full 90 minutes, how could the post-match rating possibly give him a 10.

Thinking this over, Li Yufei quietly made his request to Wenger in private:

"Boss, today's match is my first ever UEFA Champions League game. I want to play the full 90 minutes. Would you give me this chance, Boss?"

Hearing this, Wenger shot Li Yufei a strange look, wondering why he suddenly wanted to play the entire match.

But after pondering for a moment, Wenger still gave his promise:

"Alright, but only on the condition that you guarantee your health."

"If you show obvious signs of fatigue on the field, I'll sub you off, because a fatigued body is most prone to injury."

"Also, if you really do play the full match today, you'll need to be a substitute for the next game."

"Don't blame me, kid. Your physical condition and health must be ensured. There can't be any risk of fatigue or injury."

With the Old Man putting it that way, Li Yufei couldn't argue.

After all, every word he said was for Li Yufei's own good—what could he say?

Arriving at the match venue, Li Yufei and his teammates went through half an hour of warm-up activities before returning to the locker room for final preparations.

Hearing the thunderous cheers outside, Li Yufei took a deep breath.

This was the charm of the UEFA Champions League!

Following the Main Referee out of the player tunnel, Li Yufei and the other twenty-one players lined up horizontally in the center of the pitch.

Listening to the UEFA Champions League anthem ringing in his ears, Li Yufei murmured softly:

"Kick Barca, kick Barca, kick Bayern Munich."

"My factory's already collapsed..."

As he finished singing, Li Yufei couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

MD, in his past life he didn't think much of it, but now as a member of Arsenal Club, he felt this damn tune was really too targeted.

What did "my factory's already collapsed" mean?

Wasn't that just pure jinxing Arsenal Club?

Shaking his head to clear the distracting thoughts, Li Yufei prepared to give twelve percent of his effort in this match.

Even if Braga wasn't worthy of Li Yufei going all out.

But considering the system's additional task, Li Yufei had to "use full force even when hunting a rabbit like a lion."

With the Main Referee's opening whistle sounding.

The match officially began!

"Zhuang'er TV Station, Zhuang'er TV Station. Hello, dear viewers. Welcome to the 2010-2011 UEFA Champions League Group H group stage match. The two sides are Arsenal Club from the Premier League and Braga Club from the Portuguese League."

"Alright, the match has begun. Attacking from left to right on your screen are the home team, Arsenal, while attacking from right to left are the away team, Braga."

8th minute of the match.

Fabregas and Li Yufei played a one-two, then the former threaded a through ball into an open space in the box. Li Yufei sprinted to meet it, ready to shoot, but Filipe rushed out early and broke it up.

But Filipe was a split second late this time. As Li Yufei had already set his shooting motion, Filipe crashed into him, taking both the ball and the man down to the ground.

The referee didn't hesitate, immediately calling a foul on Filipe.

Yellow card plus a penalty kick. Arsenal had a dream start.

"Oh, Filipe broke up Li Yufei's one-on-one, but this was clearly a foul. The referee showed Braga a yellow card and awarded Arsenal a penalty kick."

"This call was very decisive, no issue at all!"

"This match is Li Yufei's first career UEFA Champions League game, and just minutes into the opening, he's already created a golden scoring chance for his team."

"You can't help but marvel—this prodigy who's made a name across England is now climbing to the peak step by step."

As the guest commentator, Tao Wei chimed in alongside Duan Xuan: "That's true. Li Yufei is a true genius!"

"His presence alone proves at least one thing to the world—that yellow-skinned people can play football well too, and can shine brilliantly on the highest stage of world football!"
