The first thing that surprised Li Ang was Magool Pihra. Magool's [Strength] attribute had reached 75.
For a 35-year-old veteran, this was a pretty good body. Li Ang was very surprised. After all, Macquarie didn't look like a strong and sturdy man.
[Explosive Power] was 69. For this veteran, this was a relatively good attribute value.
Then, what surprised Li Ang was that Magool's [Bounce] had reached 79. This value was really surprising. For a 35-year-old athlete, all kinds of physical attributes had already begun to decline. For his [Bounce] to reach 79 at this time, then, when he was 27 or 28 years old, when his physical fitness was the best, this value might even reach 85 and above. This was quite amazing. Some of the top players could only reach 85 and above.
Li Ang could not help but be moved.
From the [Bounce] attribute, Li Ang immediately looked at the [Header] attribute. Then, he could not even believe what he 'saw' in his' mind '.
The system interface showed that Magool Pihra's [Header] attribute value was 79!
Li Ang was shocked. [Header] had reached 79, [Bounce] was also 79. What about shooting?
[Shooting]'s attribute showed that it was 78!
This was completely the attribute value of a striker. To be precise, it was the attribute value of a center forward.
What about [Balance] and [Positional Sense]?!
Li Ang could not wait to continue looking. [Balance] 76, [Positional Sense] 78!
At this time, Li Ang was shocked. His heart was beating faster.
[Shooting] 78, [Header] 79, [Bounce] 79, [Balance] 76, [Positional Sense] 78. These were the attributes of a center forward!
Magool Pihra was now 35 years old. If he was 10 years younger, these attribute values would increase by 5 to 10 points. This would at least make him a first-class center forward. With Magool's hard work, he might even reach the level of a top center forward!
However, a huge doubt arose. In Li Ang's memory, there was no such figure as Michael Pijla in the football world. Never mind being a first-rate center forward, he did not even play for a La Liga team like a shooting star. This meant that Michael Pijla was just like he was now. He had been playing for an amateur team until he finally retired and ended his career.
Why wasn't a player with the talent of a first-rate center forward discovered?!
*****
Li Ang immediately thought of Magool Pihra's terrible [Passing], [Dribbling], [Flexibility], and other technical attributes. In the Spanish football world, which valued the technical school, Magool's footwork could be said to be very rough. No one would look at him. Moreover, to be honest, those top center forwards, even if their footwork was not their strength, were definitely not too rough. The Dutch king of the penalty area, van Nistelrooy, also had a wonderful goal after connecting many people in the penalty area.
Therefore, Magool Pihra, a center forward with attributes, was a center forward who was particularly "biased." His footwork was very poor. This caused Magool to be directly rejected by many people!
Moreover, the most tragic and helpless thing was that Magool Pihra had been playing in the midfield position, which required the most footwork and creativity. This was also Magool's biggest shortcoming.
As one could imagine, Magool's performance in the midfield position had always been very bad. He had always been hit hard. However, he always faced it optimistically and improved himself. This was not easy.
All this was because no one had discovered Magool's true value. No one knew that he was a strange talent, a true pillar-style center forward. No one would think of letting Magool try to play in the center forward position. This caused this person's almost entire career to be wasted.
Li Ang was heartbroken. Such a center forward who should have left a name in the football world had been buried because no one appreciated and discovered him.
A fine steed was common, but a talent scout was not common!
The only thing that made Li Ang feel gratified and sad at the same time was that under such circumstances, the 35-year-old veteran still did not give up and persisted.
Li Ang was now certain that Magool Pihra's only unique skill was to snatch points in the penalty area, especially headers! If Magool were ten years younger, with these attributes, his height of 180 centimeters would not be considered tall. However, with such outstanding [Header] and [Bounce] attributes, as well as the equally outstanding [Balance] and [Positional Sense] attributes, his positioning in the penalty area would be extremely accurate. Furthermore, he had a keen sense of smell. He was simply a bomber in the penalty area!
Although Magool was now 35 years old, his various attribute values had declined, and his physical fitness was also going downhill.
However, for a 35-year-old veteran who had taken a "detour" all his life, saying this at this time would only add to his lamentation.
Fortunately, with Magool Pihra's current attributes, he could completely cope with the needs of the Segunda División. If Magool Pihra could continue to work hard and continue to work hard, Magool Pihra would be a dominant center forward in the entire Segunda División!
A thirty-five-year-old veteran!
Perhaps the entire Segunda División would be shocked.
However, the most important task now was to make Magool Pihra willing to listen to his suggestion and change to a center forward.
This might be very surprising. It was not strange for a player to change positions. However, to let a veteran who had played as a midfielder all his life to play as a center forward was indeed something unimaginable.
He was not sure if Magool would believe and listen to his suggestion.
*****
Li Ang's mind was like a sophisticated brain. In almost ten seconds, his mind had already considered these things.
At this time, Scottley had already brought Magool Pihra to stand in front of him.
Seeing that Li Ang seemed to be distracted, Scottley coughed to remind him.
Li Ang recovered from his thoughts. He looked at the veteran in front of him, a tragic player, a player who had taken a detour all his life.
Li Ang was also emotional. Magool did not know that he had taken a detour, but this person had never given up and had always persevered. Fate might be unfair to him, but his perseverance was moving and admirable.
"Magool Pihra, hello." Li Ang called out Magool's name and extended his right hand.
"Hello, Mr. Manager." Even if Magool Pihra guessed that this person called him over to "terminate his contract," he still maintained his politeness and shook Li Ang's hand.
"Magool," Li Ang said, "I heard your story. To be honest, I am very touched and very impressed."
Magool Pihra's heart sank completely. Generally speaking, wasn't it like this to come up and say some nice things first before proposing to terminate the contract?
Magool did not speak. He listened quietly.
"To be honest, you are really not suitable to play as a midfielder." Li Ang said. He decided to say what he meant in a concise and comprehensive manner. There was no need to beat around the bush. If Magool could listen to his advice and change to play as a center forward, Li Ang would be very happy. He was worried about the lack of a center forward position in the team, and God sent him a 35-year-old center forward. Of course, if Magool was stubborn and was unwilling to listen to his advice, then there was nothing he could do.
The last glimmer of hope in Magool Pihra's heart was shattered. He was not suitable to play as a midfielder. This coach was really straightforward. Next, he should say sorry and bring up the termination of the contract.
"Mr. Manager, I understand what you mean. I understand. Where is the termination of the contract?" Magool Pihra tried to control his sadness as much as possible. He tried to speak in a calm tone and showed a smile. The veteran said to himself, "Don't be sad, Magool. You have to smile. You have to keep smiling. You have worked hard for twenty years. Even if it is the end, you have to smile. At least, I have been working hard. I will not regret not working hard, right?"
Scott Terry sighed and turned his head to the side. He could not bear to look.
"Termination of the contract?" Li Ang said in surprise. "What do you want that for? Ha, you think I want to terminate the contract with you. Don't be kidding, Magool. If you want to retire and rest, I want to tell you that you have to postpone your retirement plan. It's like this. If possible, the club will provide you with a new contract. "
Magool Pihra was completely stunned. What did this China coach say? He did not call me here to terminate the contract with me? What did he say? He wanted to provide me with a new contract?
God, was he hallucinating?
The assistant coach, Scott Terry, also opened his mouth in surprise. He looked at the scene in a daze.
What was going on? Didn't Li look for Magool to terminate the contract? He said he wanted to provide Magool with a new contract? God, did I hear it wrong?!!!
