The Voice of Gijón's local media, "Voice of Gijón", used the phrase "incredible season" to describe Sporting de Gijón's season. They used the phrase "great magician" to describe Sporting de Gijón's China manager, Li Ang.
This was already two days after the match between Sporting de Gijón and Malaga B. On this afternoon, at the Maleo training base, Li Ang arranged for assistant managers Scott and Banderas to direct the team's training. He sat on the recliner on the sidelines and closed his eyes to rest.
In reality, he was studying the system.
Li Ang led the team to avoid relegation four rounds in advance and completed an important main quest of [Glory's Red and White Teams], [Thorny Road].
This was the most important main quest Li Ang had ever received. Now that the quest was completed, his rewards were also huge.
First of all, the experience points were very abundant.
According to the experience points required to level up, this amount of experience points was enough for him to level up to level eight.
Unfortunately, he could not level up now because of the restrictions of the two systems. The level of the football system could not exceed level three of the medical system.
Therefore, even though he had gained a lot of experience points, Li Ang could not level up for the time being.
This also meant that they could not level up in the lottery draw. However, Li Ang was not in a hurry. He chose to accumulate the number of lottery draws and exchange it for a chance to draw the grand prize when the time came.
*****
However, it was not completely impossible for the time being. Because he completed the main quest of [Thorny Road], he received an additional reward from the lottery draw.
This time, Li Ang drew a skill called [Iron Lung]!
[Iron Lung]: After using this skill and through systematic training, the players' physical limits will increase by 5% on a normal basis!
Li Ang liked this [Iron Lung] skill very much. In his opinion, this was completely prepared for the cruel competition schedule next season.
After the end of the season and after the holidays, the team would gather again to prepare for the new season. Li Ang was prepared to focus on training the players' physical fitness to build a foundation for the new season.
Through the preparation before the season, the players' physical reserves could be improved.
At that time, after using the [Iron Lung] skill, on the basis of this improvement, it could increase the physical fitness limit of the players by five percent!
Don't underestimate this 5%. Sometimes, the key to victory or defeat lay in this small 5%.
Think about it. In an intense match, when the match enters the final stage, both sides' stamina is almost depleted. Under such circumstances, Sporting de Gijón's players have five percent more stamina than normal. This may seem like a small advantage, but under certain circumstances, it can be used to great effect.
Even if they had a little more stamina than the opponent, at this time, their players could be a little better than their exhausted opponents in terms of technical movements. When they attacked, it was possible for them to suddenly burst out with temporary but intimidating energy. When they defended, they also had the stamina to hold on for a while.
Of course, the effect of the [Iron Lung] function may not be so obvious in the early stages of the season, because all the teams had gone through the pre-season training and reserves, so their physical fitness was prepared. The difference between the two sides was not big.
However, in the second half of the season, or in the final moments of an intense match, this small advantage could be expected to play a role.
*****
Now that the [Iron Lung] was at level one, it was a skill with long-term cumulative effects. Li Ang understood it as a skill that could be used in groups.
However, when the skill was upgraded to level three or above, Li Ang noticed that he could use the [Iron Lung] skill alone in a specific game. In this game, after using the skill, at level three, the player's stamina could increase by one percent for three minutes. When he was at LV 4, he could increase his physical strength by 3% for 4 minutes. When he was at LV 5, he could increase his physical strength by 5% for 5 minutes. This was on top of the common effect of [Iron Lung]. It was a double bonus.
And Li Ang also noticed that the increase was smaller as it went on. For example, when the [Iron Lung] was at level ten, the increase was ten percent, and the duration was still five minutes. At level eleven, the increase was ten percent, and the duration was five minutes. At level twelve, the increase was eleven percent, and the duration was four minutes … At level thirteen, the increase was eleven percent, and the duration was three and a half minutes. At level fourteen, the increase was twelve percent, and the duration was three minutes! At the highest level, when the player was level twenty, the increase was fifteen percent, and the duration was two minutes!
This was the limit of the [Iron Lung] skill.
This also showed that the system had limitations, and the later development gave Li Ang the feeling that it was "condensed into the essence." The effect was improved, and the duration was shortened. The effect was maximized in the shortest time. At this time, it was time to test Li Ang's on-the-spot tactical adjustments and adaptability. How to use the skill to maximize the effect of the players in such a short time after using it.
The use of the [Iron Lung] individual skill had a condition. It required the consumption of experience points, and the higher the level, the more experience points it required. Even in the later stages, Li Ang had to consider whether it was worthwhile to consume so much experience points to use this skill.
And the group effect of the [Iron Lung], when the level reached the top of level twenty, the players' stamina limit could increase by eight percent on the basis of training.
Li Ang imagined that when the [Iron Lung] level reached level twenty, the players' stamina would generally increase by eight percent. If the individual effect was used again in a particularly important game, it would increase by another fifteen percent for two minutes, and the duration would be two minutes! In these two minutes, it was completely possible to burst out with energy that would catch the opponent off guard.
The future was beautiful, but the reality was cruel because he still had a long way to go to upgrade to the top of level twenty.
Of course, with a goal, there was motivation and direction, wasn't there?
In the next season, Sporting de Gijón's sword would be upgraded, and there would also be gains in the UEFA Europa League. In the case of multiple competitions, even though the [Iron Lung] level was only level one, it was better than nothing. It could also play a role.
After all, the season was long and cruel. It was always a good thing to have an extra guarantee.
*****
It looked like the upgrade of the medical system had to be upgraded as soon as possible. Otherwise, the level of the football system could only be stuck here. Li Ang shook his head.
Li Ang then sorted out the "assets" he currently had in his mind.
The [Young Eagle Spreads Its Wings] skill had been upgraded to level three. The effect of using this skill was to increase the training effect of the players under the age of twenty by ten percent for thirty days. He currently had a [Young Eagle Spreads Its Wings] skill card in his hand.
The [Rapid Improvement] skill was now level two. The effect of using it was to increase the training effect of the players in the team by twenty percent for thirty days. It was a pity that he did not have the skill card in his hand.
In addition, after leading the team to avoid relegation and winning the Copa del Rey, Li Ang noticed that his [Reputation] experience had increased greatly. Even though he was only [Bronze Level One], he was only one step away from leveling up to [Bronze Level Two].
There was also the level of the [Hammer of Wrath]. It was still level one. This skill was triggered before he could use it in the Copa del Rey match. In the end, Carlos used some tricks to anger Zidane. The French superstar knocked Carlos to the ground, and to a certain extent, decided the direction of that match. Mr. Li Ang still did not have a deep understanding of the [Hammer of Wrath] skill. He was still in the exploration stage. However, his intuition told him that this skill would be very useful in the future.
Li Ang went through the assets in his mind. Other than the [Iron Lung] skill, the only skill he could use at the moment was the [Young Eagle Spreads Its Wings] skill.
This made Li Ang a little speechless. Was this forcing him to have no choice but to dig up as many little monsters to nurture?
