Chapter 554: Chapter 553 Ade, you can’t grasp this Batistuta goal
But in fact, this move is commonly used by many soccer stars as a routine breakthrough tactic.
The reason why it’s considered Kaoru Mitoma’s special move, and why it has such a distinctively Japanese name, is mainly because Kaoru Mitoma analyzed this move from a scientific angle in his college thesis.
Its effect is comprehensive, but its biggest role is to give you a one-step lead in your breakaways.
This move has been the focus of Deng Kai’s training recently, and he has already seen some success with it.
As for the head coach system, after studying it all summer, Deng Kai gradually figured it out.
Its main utility is actually to digitize the proficiency data of your teammates and the team.
This is also the reason why people like Deschamps are very anxious, but Deng Kai is not worried.
With a progress bar in sight, worrying is futile.
Considering the current gameplay and the intensity of the team’s training, it’s likely that Manchester City’s players will only be able to max out their tactical proficiency this season through tacit understanding.
And this tactic, essentially, will not truly be powerful until it reaches eighty percent proficiency.
At the current stage... you may consider this tactic as a debuff.
Manchester City’s strength has not increased but has been weakened instead, because the focus is too much on attacking, yet there are many mistakes, so the defense is shoddy, almost non-existent!
At this point, if you just switch to a normal head coach, Manchester City’s combat strength would see a noticeable increase.
After all, these players are top-notch, and just getting two or three players into form can give Manchester City a strong competitive edge among the relegation-threatened teams.
Even within a year or two... to secure a mid-tier team position.
But... that’s all.
If you cannot fully utilize the abilities of all the stars, when the players all reach their peak, mutual exclusion will occur.
By that time, players might visibly become stronger, but the team will still be a mid-tier team, and eventually, they’ll be surpassed by teams with better results beckoning with a flick of their fingers.
What Deng Kai wants is not just a mid-tier Manchester City team.
He would rather spend three years lying low in exchange for a moment of soaring high.
He would rather take a hundred beatings, all for the one punch that shocks the world!
Because in this world, no one counts how many times you finish second, people only look to see if you made it to first!
Being second or seventeenth makes no difference to Deng Kai.
So why worry?
There’s plenty of time left in this season to take a beating!
But as long as the proficiency progress bar is rising, there’s no big problem.
This is the difference between seeing hope and having none.
"Ding! Your player Adriano, a naturally gifted talent, has grasped the legendary golden skill ’Bati GOAL’ by watching videos! Do you want to assign this skill to Adriano?"
???
What does this mean?
Has Adriano successfully transitioned?
And he has even grasped a skill!
Nice move, bro!
Wait a second!
To assign or not?
Does this mean... I can choose not to assign it to Adriano?
This...
"Ding! Warning! Player-exclusive skills cannot be assigned arbitrarily. Forcibly assigning it to a non-designated player may cause the skill to shatter."
This...
"Adriano, it’s not that I, Deng Kai, am coveting your skill, it’s just that this Bati goal... you can’t handle it!"
Everyone knows the glory of the Bati goal, but the pain Batistuta suffered from his left ankle after retirement, agonizing to the point of begging doctors to amputate it, is seldom talked about.
In the end, Batistuta had an ankle prosthesis installed and was freed from the pain thanks to high technology.
Broadly speaking, that’s also considered a prosthetic.
This is the greatest harm of powerful shots.
In soccer history, players skilled in powerful shots seldom retire unscathed.
Aside from a few like Roberto Carlos, most of them have experienced severe injuries to their knees or ankles.
Once such an injury occurs, it usually means the destruction of a professional career.
Ronaldo, Adriano, Batistuta, Baggio, Ibrahimovic...
Cristiano Ronaldo might be a very special exception.
His career was indeed ruined by such an injury.
But he relied on his own perseverance to carve out a second career path for himself, and reached the pinnacle just the same!
"Let me bear this pain for you!" Bati GOAL right to the face, Deng Kai stopped pretending and laid his cards on the table...
Just kidding.
Deng Kai isn’t human, uh, I mean, Deng Kai isn’t that kind of person.
The main reason he didn’t allocate the skill to Adriano was to see if he could exploit a bug.
For example, assigning Adriano’s skills to Torres.
To see if Adriano could comprehend them once again.
If he could... oh my God!
It wouldn’t just be about Bati GOAL!
Adriano could have Bati GOAL, but what about Ribery! What about Torres! What about Essien! What about Tu Lei!
What about Feng Te?
Feng Te: Hey, I feel like my tone wasn’t quite right there.
All these skills could be assigned to other players... but that’s off-topic.
Just imagine Bati GOAL, when every player on the team has it, whose defense could withstand that?
"Ding! You have assigned Adriano’s exclusive skill Bati GOAL to player Deng Kai."
Torres: Didn’t you say it was for me?
"Ding! Deng Kai failed to learn Bati GOAL! Skill shattered!"
Deng Kai looked disappointed, this...
Adriano, I’m sorry, your hard work all this time has been squandered by me!
"Ding! Deng Kai has summarized certain lessons from the failure and comprehended the blue skill ’Moving Burst Shot’."
"Moving Burst Shot: Your long-range shooting ability while dribbling and contesting is enhanced. This is a fragment skill of Bati GOAL, mastering all fragment skills will allow you to replicate Bati GOAL!"
!!!
Success!
It’s actually possible!
While it’s not Bati GOAL, at least it’s a skill!
And it seems, in the end, one could still learn Bati GOAL!
Holy cow!
The head coach panel is awesome!
Adriano is awesome!
Deng Kai’s Manchester City strategy is basically full offense for everyone.
It looks like a 433 formation, but when they get excited, even 217 is possible.
That places tremendous demands on the players’ goal-scoring abilities.
It’s not enough for you to be decent at shooting; you have to be very good.
Just like the Manchester City of old.
Were Sterling and Resus’s shooting skills really that bad?
Definitely not.
But at Manchester City, they were the kings of missed shots.
And Harland, with superior shooting skills, was a demon at Manchester City.
This is Manchester City, where the difference between being top-notch and not is only slight, but the results are worlds apart.
And with eleven Harlands in Deng Kai’s Manchester City... who else is there?
"Adriano, it’s all up to you now! With your talent, surely you can comprehend something as trivial as Bati GOAL again, right?" Deng Kai looked at Adriano’s system avatar as if he was looking at a golden chicken that could lay golden eggs.
...
That night, Adriano was overjoyed.
Because in the last shot of his extra training, he had an epiphany and comprehended a certain way of kicking the ball.
He was sure it was what he had been searching for, and also what Maxa had hinted to him.
However, the next day, on the training field.
Adriano looked at his left foot in shock.
"It’s gone!"
