After browsing the news on the computer for a while, Li Shiguang turned it off with little interest.
One has to admire the imagination of the British media. In just one day, their reports claimed that, apart from Li Shiguang himself, the entire Leeds United team had been bought up.
Even Allen has been reported to have been invited by a championship-winning club to become their head coach.
This is utter nonsense!
Li Shiguang pursed his lips and brewed himself a cup of tea.
He's getting ready to open the treasure chest!
The player template trial card he got from the Golden Treasure Chest allowed him to make a quick buck through Howard. The Talent Realization Card not only helped Leeds United achieve promotion and win the league title, but it will also completely turn Leeds United's finances around in the upcoming summer transfer window. The Master Coach skill he later obtained allowed Li Shiguang to completely take control of Leeds United and win the support of players and fans.
Therefore, the platinum treasure chest that would be obtained after completing this mission was something Li Shiguang had been looking forward to ever since he received the mission.
He summoned the system, scrolled to the task interface, and, as usual, rubbed his hands together before opening the treasure chest.
With a blinding flash of light, another card appeared in front of Li Shiguang.
The system's voice also appeared in my mind at just the right time.
[Congratulations, host, you have received a reward: Injury Recovery Card (applicable to any player), duration: 1 year]
Li Shiguang was delighted. Looking at the name on the card, he already had a general idea of its function.
After opening the card, the explanation below was not much different from what he had imagined.
Injury Recovery Card: After use, if the target player is injured, the injury will be healed for 1 year. (Note: After the duration expires, the player will return to their previous injury state. Please use with caution!)
Looking at the explanation on the card, Li Shiguang realized that he had only guessed the first half.
Initially, he thought the card's function was to instantly heal injured players and relieve them of their injuries. However, he didn't expect that once the effect wore off, the players would return to their previous injury state.
In fact, injuries have always been the biggest enemy of athletes in any sport, especially in high-intensity sports like football, where many talented players are often cut short or have their peak years cut too short due to injuries.
For example, "Golden Boy" Michael Owen and "Alien" Ronaldo, top strikers who were playing for Real Madrid at the time, had both suffered from injuries.
In Li Shiguang's view, both of these were extremely great forwards, and both suffered from numerous injuries throughout their careers.
Ronaldo fared relatively well, winning the FIFA World Player of the Year award three times and the Ballon d'Or twice. Aside from the Champions League, he won almost every club-level title imaginable. He also won the 2002 World Cup with the Brazilian national team. Despite being plagued by injuries, he amassed countless accolades.
Owen, on the other hand, reached his peak right from the start, but various injuries later made him "glass man," preventing him from ever returning to his peak. He then played for several clubs until 2011, at the end of his career, when he finally won his only top-flight league trophy with Manchester United.
These two great strikers in world football have suffered injuries that have left countless fans feeling deeply saddened.
After reading the card's description, Li Shiguang's previous thoughts changed somewhat.
In fact, Li Shiguang has always been aware of Leeds United's relatively weak squad depth.
After he took over as head coach in the second half of the season, Leeds United did not experience a large-scale injury crisis.
The first reason is that he used some advanced technology on several key players, maximizing the attributes and performance of these players who are responsible for most of the offensive tasks.
Another reason that cannot be ignored is that Blackwell withdrew from the FA Cup early on, so Leeds United basically only had one Championship match a week. This made their physical reserves relatively sufficient and greatly reduced the possibility of player injuries.
But next season will be different.
Firstly, regarding skill cards, there's a severe shortage. He currently only has one Peak Drogba template trial card and a newly opened healing card, but the Drogba trial card only lasts for three months. Since the system's missions are random, he doesn't know when he'll get new card rewards. To be honest, he's really short on cards right now.
Then, regarding the player roster, Li Shiguang plans to officially sign Adebayor's transfer contract with Arsenal as soon as the summer transfer window opens. After the money arrives, he will bring the players he had his eye on back to Leeds United to train. With his master-level coaching skills, he should be able to boost the attributes of the new players before the start of the Premier League season.
However, the intensity of the Premier League is far superior to that of the Championship. Although the Premier League has not yet reached the point where it is said that "there are no weak teams in the Premier League," its intensity of competition is the highest among all leagues in the world. In addition, Li Shiguang will definitely not give up the FA Cup next season.
Player injuries will definitely be a factor that Li Shiguang will need to consider.
This recovery card seems to only provide temporary relief. Although a year is a long time, the player will eventually return to injury once the time is up, and he doesn't know when he will get another recovery card.
After thinking for a while, Li Shiguang's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
He found that his thinking seemed to have suddenly become a bit narrow after becoming the head coach.
He is the manager of Leeds United, but also the general manager and the largest shareholder of the club.
Making Leeds United a legendary club and himself a legendary manager who will be remembered in history is certainly his dream, but it is a long process.
However, creating a football club to make more money is what he needs to do in the short term. Having strong financial resources is a necessary condition for building a legendary club!
Once he figured this out, he felt he had mastered the true way to use the card.
Previously, the transfer deals he handled were either like Howard, who was a poor player and whose attributes were improved by template cards to make a quick buck, or young players like Sneijder.
He should probably use this recovery card on players who have reached their peak but are currently seriously injured!
First, buy a player who is injury-prone but in his prime at a low price to Leeds United, allowing him to return to the field to the astonishment of the football world. Then, sell him before the card expires and make a huge profit!
Once he understood, Li Shiguang began frantically searching for a target in his mind.
