What is an attacking defensive midfielder?

Chapter 27 Casemiro's Yakult: Why did Ralph regain his passion?

Back in his rented room, Hao Ren quickly put the incident of being scolded by Rangnick out of his mind.

He still has something to celebrate.

[Balance: Contribution Points * 16]

After playing a game, my net worth is finally not zero anymore.

Suddenly rich, I must open the store and go on a spending spree!

[Random Template Treasure Chest]

【Price: 100 Contribution Points (This price is only valid for one purchase; the price will increase tenfold after each purchase)】

[Random Talent Chest]

【Price: 1000 Contribution Points (This price is only valid for one purchase; the price will increase tenfold after each purchase)】

I definitely can't afford a treasure chest that costs 100 yuan, and a template that costs 1 yuan is out of the question.

It was the classic "price arranged from low to high" again, and Hao Ren finally saw what he could buy.

Casemiro's Yakult (Consumable Item): For the next 4 hours, your muscle sensitivity is increased by 20% (meaning you can gain an additional 20% benefit from physical training)

【Price: Contribution Points * 4】

[Unlock condition: Overall score 65]

There are many disposable items like this in the store, but apart from this Yakult, the other disposable items are all blacked out, meaning they cannot be purchased.

[Leo Messi's Mate Tea (Unlocked)]

[Unlock condition: Overall score of 72]

Take this [Mate Tea] for example. Hao Ren needs to achieve a score of 72 to obtain this item. Before that, he can't even see the effects of this thing.

Hao Ren didn't care about this, since he wasn't exactly wealthy, and even if he unlocked all the item purchase permissions, it wouldn't make a difference.

If you don't have any money in your pocket, you can only look at the things in the supermarket!

What Hao Ren needs to do now is focus on what he can buy, which is this [Casemiro Yakult].

Hao Ren knew that Casemiro liked to drink Yakult, but the Yakult in the system store and Casemiro's Yakult were obviously not the same thing.

20% additional physical training benefits...

A smile appeared on Hao Ren's lips.

There's a training class at the gym tomorrow, so I can give it a try!

……

Goodman

Height: 1.80 meters

[Weight: 72kg]

"I've grown 1cm taller."

Seeing his latest height data, Hao Ren was quite pleased, so he decisively stood next to Kimmich: "Brother Chicken, I'm taller than you now."

"...About the same, about the same, we should be the same, I'm also 1.77 meters tall."

Kimmich awkwardly wiped his face.

He could actually sense that Hao Ren was now a bit taller than him, but he just didn't want his teammate to get too cocky.

Mr. Goodman is like this: if you leave Mr. Goodman, who is showing off, alone, he will only show off more and more!

After a few brief boasts and a preview of their five-game winning streak, the Leipzig players headed to the gym together.

Hao Ren no longer hesitated and chose to try the items in the system shop.

You purchased Casemiro Yakult.

[Balance: Contribution Points * 12]

"..."

Close your eyes and feel it carefully.

but……

Nothing happened?

amount……

Perhaps we'll only notice the difference once physical training begins?

Filled with doubt and curiosity, Hao Ren began his physical training for the day.

A 65kg barbell half squat on each side is a suitable weight for Hao Ren.

"Duang!"

"Duang!"

The barbell plates collide with the barbell bar, producing a crisp sound.

"call!"

Taking a deep breath, Hao Ren sat down to rest.

"Goodman, what are you doing?"

"Rest? What am I doing? Don't you need to rest when you're training strength?"

Hao Ren found Paulsen's question somewhat strange.

"No, why are you constantly pinching your muscles?"

In the direction Paulsen was pointing, Hao Ren was kneading the muscles of his thigh with his right hand.

It seems like...self-admiration?

"Are you stupid, Yusuf! We're doing strength training right now. Muscle cells get stimulated and grow larger and more numerous. I can feel it right now."

Hao Ren immediately launched into biological knowledge, giving off a scholarly vibe that intimidated Paulsen into not daring to refute him: "So that's how it is. I was wondering why my muscles felt so hard after each training session. Turns out, it's because my muscle cells have gotten bigger."

"That's right!"

Hao Ren patted his thigh and stood up.

Before Hao Ren could do anything, Paulsen spoke first: "I won't be your apprentice."

"Hey! I didn't say anything, and we're practically brothers, what's wrong with you learning from me?"

Hao Ren was somewhat dissatisfied and walked past Poulsen to continue his training.

About 20 minutes later, Hao Ren finally noticed something was wrong.

Unlike regular physical training, my thigh muscles became itchy after drinking Yakult.

As it turns out, the biological knowledge Hao Ren just shared was not misleading.

His muscle cells are growing rapidly!

[Physical contact: 65→67]

"call……"

happy!

……

"Do you know why our score in the game the day before yesterday was 2-1, not 3-1?"

"That damn Goodman guy! I'm so fucking pissed off!"

Rangnick told Almas everything that had happened during the match the day before, and the latter listened intently to the whole thing.

"This, this... haha!"

Almas smiled and shook his head: "He's talented too, but it doesn't matter, we won in the end anyway."

"I asked him to choose between offense and defense, and do you know what he said to me?"

"He wants to play defense?"

"He wants them all!"

Rangnick didn't know many people in Leipzig, except for Almas, with whom he could confide in.

"Oh well, it's normal for young people to think they're amazing. I thought I was invincible when I was 16. I'll grow out of it."

Almas advised Rangnick not to be angry and very cleverly changed the subject.

As they talked, Rangnick became agitated again.

Because they are talking about Red Bull right now.

"No, you mean give Goodman a month's chance? To let him keep trying?"

Almas's focus was rather strange: "Are you kidding me? No... wait... isn't this exploiting employees?"

"I didn't exploit my employees; he and I were both employees. The people on the board are the bosses."

Rangnick didn't care.

"You're disgusting, Ralph!"

Almas expressed his dissatisfaction with his teammate: "You're putting pressure on a... 16-year-old kid? Seriously, you're not human!"

"You don't understand. He thinks he's invincible. Shouldn't I put him in a good position?"

Rangnick has his own insights into developing players.

However, Almas has a relatively high moral standard.

"We don't even know if we can stay in a month, and you're still making this kind of promise to Goodman."

"What's the panic? There are still more than 20 days left. It's not like we're definitely leaving. I haven't terminated my contract with Leipzig yet."

"Furthermore, I've also learned that Leipzig hasn't signed a formal contract with Ranieri yet. If we play well, the group will change their minds."

"this……"

Almas couldn't understand why Rangnick, who had previously been listless, had suddenly regained his fighting spirit.

"Ralph, you've changed so much?"

"This is not a matter of change, but a matter of mission."

Rangnick raised his chin slightly.

"The head coach's job is to transform the team with his own understanding. Previously, I thought I couldn't transform Leipzig into the team I wanted."

"But over the past month, my understanding has improved..."

"Leipzig can be transformed, but we need a different approach. I already have an idea."

Cognition, transformation, optimization...

Some key words in Rangnick's words excited Almas.

"Let's cheer each other on, Ralph, but... we still have one more problem."

"What's the problem?"

"Try to stay here. If we're kicked out in 20 days, there won't be any more opportunities for reform..."
