My uncle is Inzaghi.

Chapter 76 New system module, focus battle.

With Li Mo's two goals.

Italy beat the Netherlands away from home.

Although it is a friendly match whose result is not very important.

But this also allowed the Italian national team to rise one place in the world rankings after this game.

Ranked fifth in the world after Spain, Germany, Brazil, and Argentina.

It's just that this kind of world ranking is not paid much attention to by the strong teams.

After the game.

After this game is over.

The domestic media in Italy praised Li Mo's performance on the court.

Especially the connection between Li Mo and Pirlo gave the Italians hope of a breakthrough in the World Cup.

And after this game.

The team did not disband immediately, but trained in the Netherlands for a few days. When the international match day was over, the players from various countries left the national team and returned to their respective clubs.

After these few days of training, the players of the Italian national team can clearly feel that Li Mo's status has risen.

The offensive routine basically revolves around "how to create shooting opportunities for Li Mo."

Prandelli completely placed the treasure of the 2014 Brazil World Cup on Li Mo.

A cup competition like the World Cup finals.

A center who can ensure goal scoring efficiency is really important.

If nothing else happens.

The next national team training session.

Li Mo still had to come to the national team to report.

Italy's next opponent is Brazil, which is also a friendly match.

After playing in Brazil, there was a World Cup European qualifier match.

The opponent is San Marino, which is not very strong.

Basically no one thinks that Italy will lose to San Marino.

Wenger is naturally very concerned about the situation of the Italian national team - he is definitely not a fan of the Italian national team. He is just worried that Li Mo will be injured on the national team match day.

International match days can be a huge headache for any club manager.

FIFA international match days, according to the agreement between FIFA and the state football associations.

The national team can sign players unconditionally, and the club is not allowed to stop them.

but.

There is no contract between the players and the national team.

The player's contract is with the club. If he is injured while playing for the national team, the club will basically suffer a loss.

So this is why FIFA International Match Day is called the "FIFA virus" by head coaches.

Li Mo, who returned to Arsenal, underwent examination by the medical department.

After making sure that Li Mo didn't have any hidden health problems.

Wenger breathed a sigh of relief.

Because in the next game, Arsenal's opponent is Manchester City.

The twenty-first round of the league.

Arsenal faces Manchester City at home.

The current standings situation is as follows:

Manchester United ranks first in the standings with 44 points.

Manchester City is three points behind Manchester United and ranks second in the standings with 41 points.

Arsenal is 5 points behind Manchester United and 2 points behind Manchester City, with 39 points, ranking third in the standings.

Because Chelsea and Tottenham have different schedules on Christmas Day.

Now one of the two teams has only 33 points, and the other has only 31 points.

It's still quite far behind the top three.

therefore.

Now the British media basically believes that Manchester United, Manchester City and Arsenal are the first group to compete for the Premier League title this season.

Arsenal's home game against Manchester City is quite crucial.

Once Arsenal loses, they will be five points behind Manchester City and will most likely be eight points behind Manchester United! They were immediately proposed to compete for the championship.

and so.

This is a game Arsenal cannot afford to lose!

They have to try to win at home.

An international break comes down.

Arsenal has a few more injuries.

Except for Diaby who was injured again.

Both Vermaelen and Wilshere were injured during their respective international matches.

Podolski also has a slight hamstring strain. Although the injury is not serious, he will definitely not be able to make it to the game against Manchester City.

In this case, the health of the team's leading forward and top scorer Li Mo becomes very critical.

A healthy Li Mo.

This is the key to Arsenal being able to stay at the top of the standings after half the season - he has 18 league goals this season.

Li Mo's contribution to Arsenal's points at least allowed Arsenal to gain more than ten points.

After Li Mo returned to London, he trained with the team.

I also focused all my attention on training again.

Finally, two days before the Premier League kicks off in full force.

He heard the sound of the system.

"Ding! The system upgrade is complete! The latest feature introduction has been sent, please pay attention to check it!"

"Ding! [Football Bond System] is triggered, you have obtained a new module, please check the fusion training plan!

Senior bond: Pirlo’s admiration for you has reached the sky

Obtain module: Pirlo free kick shooting module

Fusion Difficulty: S

Fusion progress: 10% (You don’t seem to be good at free kicks?)

Estimated time for full integration: 80-180 days

The first phase of the integrated training plan:.

Li Mo took a deep breath.

It turns out that the bonds that were triggered during the system upgrade were reflected after the upgrade.

Sleepy's free kick.

That is a master-level existence.

A smile appeared on Li Mo's face.

soon.

He finished digesting the new functions after the system upgrade.

The main reason is the emergence of the "skill tree" module.

On the three basic modules of [Basic Shooting], [Basic Dribbling], and [Basic Passing], there are some extended skills based on basic technologies.

For example.

On top of [Basic Shooting], there are some relatively basic technical training programs such as heavy shots, curve shots, rub shots, push shots, headers, etc.

Besides.

Li Mo also discovered that on top of the basic module, there are three training modules for improving body types: [Strength Training Module], [Physique Training Module], and [Agility Training Module].

"Ding! Your [Strength] score reaches S level, you can skip the training module training."

The system sounds.

At the bottom of the skill tree, the basic skill [Strength] appears.

Li Mo was thoughtful.

This must be because he has the [Balotelli Strength Counter Module], which makes his strength score reach S level.

"Strength affects confrontation intensity and explosive power"

"Physique affects physical strength and injury proneness"

"Agility affects reaction speed and thinking speed"

Li Mo looked at these three physical foundations and touched his chin.

In football, the body must be combined with technology to exert its greatest power.

If you only have skills but no physical condition, you will not be able to gain a foothold in professional football.

Now that the strength score has reached S level, the conditions for opening a strength-based skill system have been met.

But on the skill tree, above the [Strength] module, there is nothing.

"Skills and module fusion?"

Li Mo was thoughtful.

He chose to connect [Pirlo Free Kick Module], [Bell's Left Foot Cutting Module], and [Heavy Artillery] together.

"Fused into a special skill: Falling Leaf Ball?!"

Li Mo was delighted.

But he quickly shook his head regretfully.

[Pirlo Free Kick Module] has no integration, and [Heavy Artillery] has no training light.

Li Mo smacked his lips regretfully.

Then he suddenly saw his [Header] module being lit up.

[Header] Rated S level.

"In other words, you can light up the skill tree only when you reach S-level rating."

Li Mo's eyes lit up.     On the skill tree.

Several lines are connected between [Header], [Giroud Header Ability Module], and [Balotelli Power Confrontation Module].

Then it merged into a line.

At the top of the line, a new skill appears.

【Kongba】!

"Ding! You have met the conditions to fuse the [Skymaster] skill, do you want to fuse it?"

"Yes!"

"Ding! You have gained a new skill: Sky Domination."

[Aerial Dominance]: As an Air Dominator, you will have extraordinary abilities in aerial confrontation and header shooting!

Level: lv1

Description: Aerial confrontation success rate increased by +5%, aerial power +5%, header shot hit rate +5%

Conditions for upgrading to lv2: [Complete 10000 header training] or [Score 10 header goals in official games], (1000 header training = one goal to upgrade progress!)

Li Mo took a breath of cold air.

Don’t look at 5%, which is not much.

But in fact, when he fights against central defenders, it's just a little bit different in many cases!

not to mention.

This kind of skill already involves some levels of "law of cause and effect".

Where does the power that increases out of thin air come from?

What's the success rate, hit rate, etc.

And it can continue to be upgraded later.

Li Mo shook his head slightly.

Even the scrambled egg stuff has appeared in the system, and nothing more outrageous will appear.

Li Mo looked at the functions of the skill tree module.

In theory.

He can download all training plans for skills/modules that appear on the skill tree.

However, Li Mo did not do this.

Too much to chew.

Technology is more expensive than finesse.

Li Mo thought for a moment,

I chose the training plan of obtaining [Heavy Artillery] first.

Because after the score of [Heavy Artillery] reaches S level, an advanced skill [Falling Leaf Ball] is integrated.

It still smells pretty good.

There are not many players who can hit this special ball path [falling leaf ball].

If you can master the shooting skills of [fallen ball].

Li Mo not only has more ways to threaten the goal outside the penalty area.

He can also come up and take a free kick or something like that.

The game against Manchester City is undoubtedly the focus of this round.

Before the game, various media had already started crazy reports.

There is still a lot to watch in this game.

In addition to focusing on the battle for second and third place in the league, the media.

Another hot topic is the competition for the league's top scorer list.

Entering the post-Christmas Express month.

Manchester United's Van Persie and Manchester City's Aguero, these two top shooters are full of firepower.

Especially since Manchester United's match in the 21st round started one day early.

Manchester United faces Sunderland at home.

Well known.

Sunderland are basically Manchester United's point boys, especially at Old Trafford.

In this game, Van Persie's barrel was so hot that he scored two goals in each half, a crazy four!

This time, his season goal tally increased to 16 goals!

There are only two left from Li Mo!

This made everyone think that there was no suspense in the competition for the Golden Boot this season.

Sunderland very thoughtfully provided suspense.

The gap between the two goals is no longer a distance that cannot be pursued.

Van Persie also seemed confident when interviewed after the game.

"Robin, what do you think about the big four in this game?"

"I am very happy!"

said the Dutchman.

"Arsenal and Manchester City are very close behind you, do you feel the pressure?"

"No, we have no pressure. We don't need to consider other teams. We just need to be ourselves. The Premier League championship is ours!"

"Where's the golden boot?"

Van Persie grinned when he heard this.

"I want the Premier League championship and the league's golden boot!"

[Van Persie: Both the Premier League championship and the league golden boot will belong to me! 】

Robin van Persie, who scored four goals in this round of the league, has undoubtedly become the focus of the media's attention.

Even the focus of Arsenal's home game against Manchester City was overshadowed by this news.

When the media mentioned this game.

Beginning to put more emphasis on the Golden Boot dispute between Van Persie and Li Mo.

Before the 21st round of the league has been played.

There have already been super shooters in the Premier League who scored 18 goals and 16 goals respectively.

The competition between the two sides is almost fierce.

The competition between super shooters is a gimmick that has not appeared in the Premier League for many years.

Everyone knows how difficult the Premier League is.

Scoring more than 20 goals in a single league season can probably get you the Golden Boot - the number of times that you have scored more than 30 goals in a single league season is very rare in history.

can be done.

These are some legendary players.

Andy Cole, Alan Shearer, Thierry Henry, Ronaldo.

With the current scoring efficiency of Van Persie and Li Mo.

It is very likely that the Premier League will have two strikers with more than 30 goals at the end of the season.

This has almost shifted the focus of the media from the peak battle between Arsenal and Manchester City to the competition for the Premier League goalscorer list.

This naturally made the Manchester City players very unhappy.

Especially Manchester City's leading striker Aguero.

Aguero started to exert his strength after entering the Christmas express month.

His number of goals in the league has reached 13 goals.

Although he is 5 goals behind Li Mo, the gap is hundreds of millions of points.

But Aguero doesn't think he's out of the running for the Golden Boot.

There are still nineteen rounds left in the league.

Declare the competition now over.

Is it too early?

"Golden boots? I don't pay attention to this." Aguero curled his lips and said during the interview, "We only care about the ownership of the championship!"

"Of course, if I can win the Premier League Golden Boot as well as the Premier League title, then of course I will be very happy."

"You are now five goals away from first place."

"What? Is the league over?"

Aguero interrupted the reporter unceremoniously.

"We have great respect for Arsenal, but I'm sorry, we will give our best in this game!"

For Manchester City.

They went to the Emirates Stadium with a revenge mentality!

The Emirates Stadium once again ushered in a crucial battle.

The atmosphere at the Emirates Stadium is getting better and better this season.

This must be related to Arsenal's current results.

In past seasons, after halfway through the schedule.

There is a high probability that Arsenal will still be hovering in the middle of the standings.

Then thanks to Professor Wenger's pursuit of points at the end of the season, Arsenal barely got a fourth place in the Champions League.

And this season.

After the halfway point of the race.

Arsenal is actually in the championship group.

Let’s not talk about whether we can win the championship.

This change alone is enough to surprise Arsenal fans.

Arsenal are riding high now.

The turning point of their season started with their reversal of Manchester City!

Now facing Manchester City again.

Arsenal's players are bursting with confidence.

"Double kill them! Secure second place! March into first place!"

"Double kill! Double kill! Double kill!"

Arsenal's players screamed and rushed out of the dressing room.

They can't wait for the game to start immediately. Fortunately, they will kill everyone at the Emirates Stadium, double defeat Manchester City, and completely consolidate Arsenal's championship position!
