Good news, veteran fan Li Shiguang has been reborn and reincarnated as a rich second-generation.
Bad news, his father, who was Leeds United's largest shareholder, passed away right before...
With a flash of golden light, a card type he had never seen before appeared in the system.
Then the system's voice sounded.
[Congratulations, host, you have received a reward: Talent Realization Card (applicable to any player), duration: 6 months]
? ? ?
Looking at the card, three big question marks flashed through Li Shiguang's mind.
He quickly opened the card and started reading the instructions.
Talent Realization Card: Enables players to quickly realize their talents, reaching their peak performance during the card's duration (unactivated).
This explanation left Li Shiguang completely bewildered, and he instantly felt that his brain couldn't keep up.
So he asked the system in his mind, "System, system, are you there? I don't quite understand the instructions for this talent realization card."
About two seconds later, a row of blue words appeared in front of Li Shiguang.
System: "Hello, host. After using the Talent Realization Card, it can bring forward the peak of a player's career for the duration of the card, without any side effects. Taking Sneijder, a player on the host's current team, as an example, the system has detected that he will reach his peak in the 2009-2010 season. If the host activates the card on that player, the player's peak will be brought forward to the time of card activation, lasting for six months."
After reading this explanation, Li Shiguang finally understood the mechanism of this talent realization card.
This card was practically tailor-made for him, who aspires to build a shady football club.
When Li Shiguang brought in Sneijder and others, just like with Howard, he did not sign them with long-term contracts; each player's contract was for 2-3 years.
However, in terms of buyout fees, Sneijder, Adebayo, and others have far higher fees than Howard.
After all, in the transfer market, the market value of forwards and midfielders is inherently higher than that of defenders and goalkeepers.
Among the four, Chiellini, who has the lowest contract value, and Li Shiguang both had a breach of contract penalty of 20 million euros.
Not to mention Sneijder, Adebayor, and Tevez, whose release clauses are all no less than 27 million euros.
Even more outrageous is the signing of Gareth Bale from Southampton last week. Li Shiguang even offered him a €60 million release clause, leaving the kid still bewildered.
At just 15 years old, Bale couldn't figure out why he was worth 60 million euros even after a week.
It's worth noting that Cristiano Ronaldo, currently recognized as a football prodigy, only cost €14.33 million to transfer to Manchester United last year!
The player template trial card that Li Shiguang drew before, although it is applicable to all players, he couldn't possibly activate Drogba's template on Sneijder, after all, Sneijder's playing style is not that of a midfield butcher.
But now things are different. With this talent realization card, they can activate it one-to-one. Given the outstanding performances of Sneijder and others during their peak years, there will definitely be teams interested in them.
Hehe, I can make a fortune then. As for whether the peak period has passed after I sell, that's none of my business.
