On the system homepage, Rosen observed that the number in his basic data attribute column had changed from 0 to 20, which was due to the 20 attribute points given by the novice gift package.
Then, Rosen entered the task interface and checked the first novice task.
Task 1: First goal
Task conditions: Achieve the first goal in the second half of the game against Helleburg in the Dutch amateur league.
Task reward: 100 experience points.
As long as Rosen scores a goal in the second half, regardless of the result of the game, he will complete the task and gain 100 experience points to upgrade.
In addition, scoring will also reward an additional 40 experience points.
After exiting the task interface, Rosen entered the originally blank skill page, and the first skill "shooting" and its attributes appeared, with a value of 6 and a "+" sign, which can be added.
According to the system description, the maximum value of all skill attributes is 20, and the host can consume attribute points to add points, one point each time.
However, it should be noted that when the skill is upgraded from 19 points to the full value of 20 points, 5 skill points are consumed.
This is because the full value represents perfection, that is, accurate shooting, which is a realm that only Rosen with the blessing of the system can achieve.
No matter how good other football players are, they cannot reach this level of perfection, even super strikers such as Pele, Gerd Muller, and Ronaldo are no exception.
Therefore, it is reasonable to require 5 attribute points to upgrade from 19 points to the full value of 20 points.
Rosen's current shooting value is only 6, which may be the reason for his poor performance and inability to shoot into an empty goal.
As for the opening of skill attributes, except for the novice gift package that can specify a skill to open, the subsequent ones will be opened by random lottery every level up.
As for whether the skills opened are applicable, it is still uncertain.
As the saying goes, it is better to master one skill than to be mediocre in a hundred skills.
At present, Rosen urgently needs to improve his shooting skills to complete the novice task.
If there is another shooting opportunity in the second half, but it is missed due to insufficient shooting skills, it will be too late to regret.
This is not only a matter of completing the task. If Rosen still does not perform well in the second half, he may even face the risk of being expelled from the team.
The reason why he was able to join Purmes was all thanks to the face of the restaurant owner Song Zhicheng, but since joining, Rosen has not shown any persuasiveness, and has not even had an assist.
Even if Purmes is amateur and the league level is low, Rosen's performance is really disappointing.
If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.
Van der No's words are not alarmist. If Rosen does not perform in the second half, he may really be expelled, and Song Zhicheng's face will be useless at that time.
Therefore, Rosen urgently needs full shooting skills to seize the opportunity.
So, he first used 13 attribute points to increase his shooting skills from 6 to 19, and then used 5 points to increase it to the full value of 20, leaving 2 attribute points.
After his shooting skills were fully upgraded, Rosen vaguely felt some indescribable changes. He believed that if the opportunity in the first half reappeared, he would never miss the target again.
At this moment, the coach instructed: "Sen, in the second half, you should run more to both sides to create shooting space for Henik. If you have the ball, try to pass it to your teammates, and don't shoot without authorization."
Henik is another forward in the team's 442 formation. Obviously, the head coach intends to attack with Henik as the main force and ignore Rosen.
Rosen did not refute, and nodded to indicate that he understood after closing the system interface.
It is useless to refute. No matter what he said, the team could not use him as the core of the offense.
On the contrary, refutation may cause the coach to be disgusted, or even be replaced in advance, which will be more difficult.
Rosen has been a single parent since childhood, has poor academic performance, has been discriminated against, and has been deceived repeatedly. He has had a very bad life for more than ten years.
Now, he was fortunate enough to receive the blessing of the mysterious football elf system, which improved his shooting skills to the perfect maximum value.
He couldn't wait to test his 20-point shooting skills.
After the head coach's tactical arrangement, everyone took a short break and the second half of the game officially began.
Seeing Rosen continue to play, the home audience supporting Purmes on the sidelines booed and discussed in dissatisfaction.
"Why hasn't the Chinese player been substituted yet?"
"Facing an empty goal but failing to seize the opportunity, what is his role on the field? Perhaps we should consider personnel adjustments."
"We only have three forwards left and the substitutes are all in their 40s. We can probably just count on him to keep fighting until the end of the game."
"Perhaps adopting a single striker tactic will be more effective than keeping Sen on the field at present."
"We need to pay close attention. If Sen misses the opportunity again, we might as well express dissatisfaction to Van der No and force him to make adjustments."
"This plan is feasible."
"It's indeed a good suggestion."
...
The second half of the game between Purmes and Helleburg officially kicked off.
Rosen followed the head coach's tactical deployment and actively ran in and out of the wing to create offensive opportunities for Henik.
However, Helleburg's defenders seemed to pay no attention to Rosen, and instead focused their main energy on marking Henik.
No matter how Rosen ran, he could only attract the attention of one defender at most, and the opponent only followed him from a distance and did not take close defense.
In contrast, Henik was always closely marked by the opponent's players, and there were defenders nearby waiting for opportunities to assist in defense.
This caused the midfielders of Purmes to be hesitant when passing the ball to Henik, fearing that the opponent would steal it.
More than ten minutes into the second half, Henik only received two passes from the midfield, and both failed to form a shot before being stolen by the opponent.
Rosen ran into space many times, but the midfielders of Purmes rarely passed the ball to him.
This reflects a trust issue.
Given Rosen's performance in the first half and the past two months, his teammates have low trust in him and are reluctant to pass the ball to him easily.
Many times, midfielders would rather choose to dribble into the penalty area and try long shots than pass the ball to Rosen in the open space.
Of course, amateur players' long-range shots are relatively less threatening.
Pulmes was weak on the offensive end, and Helleburg faced a similar dilemma.
As low-level amateur teams, the two sides are equally strong.
So far, the game is still deadlocked with a score of 0-0.
Although Rosen occasionally had a chance to touch the ball, it was far from the goal. He did not try to shoot without authorization, but chose to pass the ball to his teammates.
Despite his outstanding shooting skills, Rosen thought he lacked strength and lacked confidence in long-range goals.
He needed to get a chance to shoot in the penalty area.
After discovering that the opponent's defenders mainly marked Henik and were relatively negligent about him, Rosen began to consciously run to the empty space in the penalty area when attacking.
After two empty runs, Rosen finally had the first chance to shoot in the second half.
