The system's individual training program is mainly divided into two major sections.
The first module focuses on set-pieces.
This primarily includes free kicks, corners, penalties, and throw-ins.
Ye Chen's free-kick skill is at 85, so there's no need to practice it.
His penalty kicks are already at an S-grade expert level.
As for corners, that's something he could consider practicing in the future.
Combining it with his signature "curving blade" shot could rack up a few assists, which would be quite satisfying.
Not to mention, accumulating more assists doesn't just look good on paperâeach assist comes with a monetary reward.
However, as of now, Ye Chen only has one assist... which is frankly pitiful.
The second module focuses on attributes.
This part includes various aspects such as speed, agility and balance, strength, stamina, defensive positioning, attacking runs, offensive play, shooting, passing, crossing, ball control, and aerial ability.
Many of these are attributes that don't appear on the personal stats page.
What surprised Ye Chen the most was the inclusion of strength.
Strength is typically considered a hidden attribute, not displayed on a player's stats, but it undeniably affects Ye Chen's potential.
In the Bundesliga, physical confrontations are frequent, and the currently scrawny Ye Chen tends to go down at the slightest contact.
Ye Chen tries to avoid physical clashes as much as possible, relying instead on his skills and speed to evade opponents.
Unlike Messi, Ronaldo, or Baleâplayers who possess both speed and physicalityâYe Chen lacks the body to withstand challenges without losing out.
Without his "Iron Body" and "Iron Man" attributes, he might have already been injured by now.
Recently, Ye Chen mentioned to the team coach his desire to build his physique, but this was postponed until the winter break.
During the season, the priority is team training and maintaining match fitness.
Overtraining can easily lead to injuries or player fatigue.
That's precisely why Klopp was hesitant to let Ye Chen start right away when he first underwent intense training.
Playing in a fatigued state significantly increases the risk of injuryâGötze is a prime example of this.
Klopp repeatedly warned Ye Chen never to train blindly.
Otherwise, injuries could cause permanent and irreversible damage.
Fortunately, Ye Chen trains under the system's supervision, and as the "Football God" system, it provides the most advanced, scientific, and suitable training plan for him.
The biggest issue now is the lack of pointsâthere's too much to train and not enough to spend.
Forget it, building strength comes first. The rest can wait!
"Purchase strength training!" Ye Chen gritted his teeth.
Ding! "200 points deducted. Congratulations, host! Individual training successfully purchased."
"Please check the training schedule."
Ye Chen opened his consciousness space to review the training content for the next few days.
Apart from team training, extra sessions were added...
"System, what is my current strength stat?"
"Strength attribute: 63!"
"Once you activate individual training, you can view additional attributes at the bottom of your personal stats."
Ye Chen opened his player profile, and sure enough, "strength" had been added.
Below it, another stat labeled physique showed an impressive 80!
My physique is actually this high?
But the strength stat is way too low...
Phew, good thing I started special training. If I earn enough points, I'll be a beast one day!
Oh, rightâthere's also stamina in the attributes list...
I wonder if improving my stamina could extend my training from two hours to three, maybe even four...
As a man, who wouldn't want more endurance?
But lately, Lina's been busy with her final exams for the semester and hasn't been able to come home.
Otherwise, they'd have held at least two or three "music concerts" by now.
The next day, Ye Chen returned to the club for training.
However, the entrance to Dortmund's training ground was swarmed with reporters, all eager to interview him.
Ye Chen knew they wouldn't leave him alone unless he spoke to them.
So, he parked his car and exchanged a few words with the reporters.
"Do you think the Bundesliga's punishment this time was fair?"
"I don't want to comment on that."
"Do you regret celebrating with that slapping gesture?"
"Yes, I regret not doing it more times," Ye Chen smirked.
"Darms was diagnosed with a ligament tear and will need three to four months of treatment. Will you visit him in the hospital?"
"Of course not. His injury is his own fault. If I hadn't dodged in time, I might've been the one with a torn ligament!"
"The Chinese Football Association criticized you for poor conduct, claiming you've severely tarnished the reputation of Chinese football. Do you have a response?"
Ye Chen looked genuinely surprised. "Is that true?"
Several reporters nodded, with one even pulling up the statement.
This time, the association released a bilingual version in Chinese and English, making sure no one missed it.
Upon reading the statement, Ye Chen laughed.
"All Chinese people can criticize me, but the Football Association has no right. They act like a pack of rabid dogs."
"Without the option to join the Chinese Football Association, would you consider playing for another national team? Recently, Germany's head coach, Löw, praised you as a once-in-a-century striking talent. Would you consider joining the German national team?"
"No." Ye Chen shook his head firmly.
"Which partâjoining another team or the German national team?"
"Both. Let me be clearâI love my country. I will not change my nationality. That's my bottom line."
"What about dual nationality?"
Ye Chen rolled his eyes, staring at them as if they were clueless.
"Don't you know? China doesn't recognize dual nationality."
"Huh? Who said that?"
"Really? I haven't heard about it."
"Is that a new rule?"
Seeing their confused faces, Ye Chen said no more.
Ignorance is dangerous.
Starting his car, he entered the training ground to kick off a new day.
Despite having an 83 overall rating, which makes him one of the best young players in the Bundesliga, there's still a gap compared to Bayern's veterans.
But Ye Chen's goal isn't Bayern's playersâhe's aiming for Messi and Ronaldo!
Or even surpassing them.
That's why he must train harder and boost his strength as quickly as possible!
