Chapter 37 Second Template Upgrade! The Peak "Handsome Guy" Was Once a Bundesliga Star Str
[Template upgrade mission unlocked!]
[Mission Objective: Win the Player of the Month award in your league! (League ranked in the top ten globally)]
[Task Reward: One upgrade to Bronze Template quality!]
The English Championship is just a second-tier league; can it even be in the top ten globally?
With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Liu Yi searched online.
Below the top five leagues...
It's the Dutch Eredivisie, the Portuguese Primeira Liga, the Brazilian Serie A, and...
British Championship!
It's quite surprising that the Championship is ranked in the top ten, on par with the Belgian First Division and the Turkish Super League.
So, does that mean the Championship Player of the Month also counts?
In fact, winning the Championship Player of the Month title is quite a challenge.
You must ensure Leicester City's record is among the best this month, while also having outstanding individual performances.
This is not a problem; coincidentally, Leicester City is riding high after defeating Manchester City.
In the remaining games of January, Liu Yi seemed like a different person, unleashing his full potential on the court and trying to take over the game like a star player.
When he began to dominate possession and score with an extremely high conversion rate, the entire Leicester City team's operation was elevated to a highly efficient and ferocious state, with a fluid yet deadly attack.
Furthermore, after two consecutive outstanding performances as a substitute, Pogba began to occupy a starting position. He and Andy King formed a midfield duo that constantly supplied ammunition to the front, becoming the source of the team's attack.
In four Championship games, Liu Yi scored five goals, including a brace that came back for both.
Unfortunately, their defense faltered, and Leicester City achieved a record of three wins and one loss, remaining the team with the highest points in January.
And... Leicester City has now risen to eighth in the Championship.
They are only five points away from the promotion playoff zone for sixth place!
On the last day of January, the Championship website announced the Championship Player of the Month.
Liu Yi was elected with almost no doubt.
The Championship website commented: "In nine appearances since joining the team, he has scored eight goals and provided two assists. Leicester City's number 23 has delivered outstanding performances, and it may not be long before we see him on the highest level of competition!"
When the staff arrived at the Belvoir training base with the trophy, they arrived just as regular training was ending, and Liu Yi was practicing shooting.
The net was filled with soccer balls.
Steve Walsh, who has been promoted to sporting director, is all smiles.
With talent and hard work, this young man will succeed in whatever he does.
[Template upgrade mission objective achieved!]
You've successfully won the Player of the Month award. Are Player of the Season and All-Tournament Team awards far behind?
[Quest Reward: One upgrade to Bronze Template quality!]
This time, the bronze silhouette of the little man has changed again.
A silvery light covered it, and the contours of the face were clearly visible.
[Congratulations, host, on leveling up: Berbatov Template (Peak Version)!]
As expected, my guess was correct.
A player of Berbatov's caliber shouldn't be limited to the bronze level.
Liu Yi felt a strange power surging through his body, every cell in his body was reawakened, and the fatigue from the extra shooting practice was swept away at this moment, restoring him to his peak condition.
The badge card slot on the lower right has also doubled its capacity.
There are now a total of eight seats available!
Without hesitation, Liu Yi immediately attached Ibrahimovic's silver badge to the badge.
In the empty space, replace the eight-language logo that Boss Qin had previously removed with his own.
[Ding! You have equipped the Zlatan Ibrahimovic badge "Shooting the Halberd at the Gate" (Silver)!]
[Attribute Bonuses: Shooting Skill +2, Shot Power +2, Dribbling +1]
Archery skills: 80-82↑
[Shot power: 68-70↑]
[Dribble: 67-68↑]
[Special Effect: Unorthodox Shot - Players using unconventional and unusual shooting techniques will experience a moderate increase in accuracy and power!]
In addition to the MVP award he had accumulated earlier, Liu Yi upgraded Wu Lei's agile one-on-one skills to Bronze level, eliminating the negative effects and increasing his speed slightly.
Regarding the badges, currently there are 1 silver, 3 bronze, and 2 iron badges, which can be considered as the initial form.
In addition to the cumulative increase in various metrics from daily training!
Liu Yi's current key attributes are as follows:
进攻意识90射术82射门力量70头球40任意球50
Ball control 80, dribbling 68, passing 57
Speed 77, Stamina 67, Combat 68
Defense 20, Goalkeeping 10
Overall rating: 71!
With an overall rating of 71, he is among the top performers in the Championship.
And then consider the age of 18.
If Liu Yi were put on the transfer market now, he would definitely attract the attention of many teams in the top five leagues, and the transfer fee would definitely not be just his market value of 100 million euros.
Therefore, in the monthly assessment report of Manchester United's loaned players, Liu Yi's name was highlighted and included in the "core" file along with Welbeck!

Ferguson lay on his desk, carefully reviewing the reports submitted by the scouts.
The operating logic of the winter transfer window is completely different from that of the summer window. No particularly significant transactions usually occur during this period. After all, transfers of the caliber of Fernando Torres are rare. Therefore, clubs tend to be more pragmatic: either they try to acquire promising "lottery tickets," or they urgently fill gaps due to injury crises. In extreme cases, they might gamble on the final piece of the puzzle to avoid relegation or compete for the title.
"Brother, good news! The two young players we loaned out are performing exceptionally well."
Martin Ferguson is Alex Ferguson's brother and also the team's chief scout.
The fact that his own brother occupies such an important position demonstrates Sir Alex Ferguson's absolute authority in Manchester United's player recruitment.
"Martin, how many times have I told you, when you're working, weigh plants."
(Two capitals and thirteen provinces... Sorry, wrong set.)
"Okay, boss."
Martin Ferguson continued his report: "Pogba had a good debut for Leicester City, and he is good enough to be a starting midfielder for a Championship team."
"As for Liu... he represents a completely different dimension!"
"He's averaging a goal per game in the Championship, and just recently, he scored a spectacular bicycle kick in the FA Cup, helping Leicester City defeat Manchester City at home!"
Upon hearing this, Ferguson's expression shifted.
He wouldn't care how his title rivals performed in the EFL Cup or FA Cup, since it's an open secret that strong teams won't field their full-strength squads in the early rounds of the FA Cup.
Even so, beating the Blue Moon team, which consisted of half a starting lineup and half a substitute, was by no means an easy task.
Moreover, Tevez was also on the field at the time.
Sir Alex Ferguson acknowledged this guy's talent. If it weren't for the two other great players ahead of him when he was on the team, the Argentine striker would have easily secured the position of the attacking midfielder.
"Keep an eye on these two boys' performance, and report back to me immediately if anything happens!"
"Okay, bro!"
Ferguson: ...
Undeniably, he is over seventy years old and his retirement is only a matter of the next two years. Similarly, Giggs, Scholes, and Ferdinand, the stars who were active in the first decade of the millennium and defined Manchester United's glory, are gradually entering their twilight years as time goes by.
He must build a suitable and consistently competitive squad before leaving Manchester United. This squad cannot be composed entirely of mercenaries; ideally, it should include several young talents from the youth academy to preserve the Red Devils' legacy.
With his fingers lightly tapping the table, the Duke picked up a pen and drew a small circle over Liu Yi's name.
If this kid can continue to deliver amazing performances in the Championship, he will undoubtedly have a place in the first team rotation next year!
