Bozenik was a genius!

He had entered the Boca Juniors Youth Academy at a young age.

He was also the only one in the entire youth squad who was about as tall as Su Bai.

His outstanding height and wingspan gave him the highest save percentage in the entire youth league!

And last season, thanks to his excellent performances, he had even earned the title of Goalkeeper of the Season.

Many people were saying that Bozenik would be promoted to the first team this season.

And right then!

Bozenik stood on the pitch, dumbfounded as he turned to look behind him.

The ball went in???

The football slowly rolled out of the net and came to a stop at his feet!

He had only just crossed the halfway line, and that kid had actually blasted the ball into the goal.

Bozenik's mind replayed that kid's shot from moments ago.

What terrifying ball speed!

From over forty meters out, he hadn't even had time to react!

He had never seen such a terrifying shot—no!

It wasn't that he had never seen one. He had seen it on TV.

Roberto Carlos?

Or Adriano???

But how was that possible?

How could that black-haired Chinese kid unleash a shot like that?

At that moment!

It wasn't just Bozenik, who had conceded the goal. Whether they were Team A's starters or Team B's substitutes, everyone on the pitch was stunned.

Even head coach Ignacio at the sidelines wore a blank expression.

Ignacio was utterly baffled.

Su Bai?

That rich second-generation kid who had bought his way onto the team?

Had he taken drugs?

But even drugs couldn't turn someone into this.

He knew exactly what Su Bai was capable of.

"Boss, Su Bai looks different. Did something finally click for him?"

Ignacio's assistant coach, Hayes, stood beside him.

He had seen Su Bai's goal clearly just now.

Forget everything else—just that shooting power alone was something few could produce, not just in the youth team, but even across the entire Argentine league or world football.

That hadn't been a long-range shot from twenty or thirty meters out. It had been from over forty meters!

"Let's watch a little longer! Maybe he just got lucky!"

Cautious as ever, Ignacio said nothing more.

Meanwhile, Li Feng at the sideline was so excited he was nearly jumping up and down.

He knew they had come to the right place this time.

That shot could only have been produced by a genius.

And this kid was only in his teens. His future achievements would be limitless!

"Did you get it on camera?"

"Yeah, yeah! I got it! That shot was insane. I've watched football for so many years, but I've never seen anything this badass. It was definitely more explosive than that one Cristiano Ronaldo scored in Turkey!"

"Haha, exactly! Seeing one of us Chinese people hit a shot like that feels fucking amazing!"

"Seriously! Awesome, no question about it!"

On the pitch!

Seeing that his shot had actually gone in, Su Bai was equally dumbfounded.

This system was fucking incredible. Normally, forget scoring—he would have struggled just to pass the ball anywhere near the goal.

However, even though Su Bai's goal had been spectacular, none of his teammates came over to celebrate with him.

Su Bai was usually just too bad!

Even after scoring one like this, his teammates thought he had merely gotten lucky by accident!

Su Bai's goal left the players on the field stunned for a few seconds.

After that!

The match resumed at its original pace.

Team A had always been far stronger than Team B.

After the restart.

Boca Juniors' super-genius midfielder, Corazal, immediately took control of the game.

With his silky touch and unparalleled technique.

Under his command, Team A put on a perfect display of Argentine-style attacking football.

After dribbling past several players with flair, he slipped through a diagonal pass.

Team A striker Araujo received the ball at the top of the penalty arc and unleashed a thunderous shot.

The ball easily pierced Team B's goal.

1:1!

Team A had equalized without breaking a sweat.

Team B's counterattacks, meanwhile, had no real structure.

Fierro, also a midfielder, was simply no match for Team A's other players.

He could not even get the ball out to the wings.

Struggling under pressure, he quickly lost possession.

Team A used the same approach and scored again.

The 2:1 scoreline immediately made Team A relax.

So, when Fierro carried the ball a few steps through midfield and saw Team A's central midfielder pressing him, he immediately turned sideways and passed it out.

That spot!

It was right where Su Bai was.

By now, Su Bai had grown familiar with the changes brought by the system.

It seemed that the beginner gift pack had not only enhanced the power in his legs.

His body had become stronger too?

After receiving the ball!

Su Bai nudged it slightly ahead with his right foot and began sprinting forward in long strides.

Although Su Bai had always been weak overall, his speed was his greatest strength, and it was why he had earned the winger position at Boca Juniors U18.

His 11.43-second 100-meter time made him stand out even among the youth team.

Just like that, Su Bai raced down Team A's left flank like the wind.

David Achucarro!

Boca Juniors U18's strongest left back.

Fast, agile on the ball, and capable of delivering elegant overlapping crosses.

Last season, his assist total had been only a few short of midfield core Corazal's.

As Su Bai's longtime opponent.

David Achucarro did not take the team mascot seriously at all.

Aside from being fast, this guy was complete trash.

His crosses were terrible, and as for dribbling?

He had no flair whatsoever.

Facing Su Bai's frantic sprint.

David Achucarro closed in, just as he had countless times before.

They had played too many internal scrimmages.

This guy always liked to charge forward so recklessly. Didn't he know that as long as David held his position, a speed-based winger like him would be useless?

Just as everyone thought Su Bai would once again be easily dispossessed by David Achucarro after having his position blocked.

An unbelievable scene unfolded before everyone's eyes!

The solidly built David Achucarro was sent flying!

Yes, they had not seen it wrong!

He had genuinely been sent flying!

Su Bai!

That former waste had actually sent David Achucarro flying the instant they collided—David, who had always utterly dominated him through physical strength.

At the sidelines!

Head coach Ignacio watched the unbelievable scene unfold, his eyes widening completely!!!

This was...

What a terrifying sight this was!
