From Potential to Power

The upcoming schedule is indeed stressful for Arsenal. Especially next, Cazorla, Wilshere, Walcott, and others will report to the national team.

Wenger's biggest worry is that the FIFA virus will injured several of his main players when Arsenal is about to face a devilish schedule. Thankfully, Louis doesn't have to go to the national team for the time being.

Actually, in Italy, people are already talking about the possibility of recruiting Louis for the Italian team. Considering the competition facing the Chinese national team, many local Italian media commentators believe that the Italian national team should act quickly to recruit Louis and let him play in key events as soon as possible. If Louis plays for the Italian team in an A-level competition, he will be bound to the Italian team.

However, Louis failed to score in the last four games. This discussion has become less popular in Italy. In fact, because Louis fell into a four-game scoring drought, there was a discussion in Italy about "whether Inzaghi-like players can adapt to modern football."

The big-mouthed Cassano began to express his dissatisfaction in the media because he was not selected for Prandelli's national team. A reporter said: "Louis was not selected either. He is in very good shape recently."

"Ha," Cassano looked disdainful. "His 'newcomer welfare period' is over. He is an Inzaghi-style striker, but let alone Louis, even Inzaghi at his peak could not play as the star player in any of the leagues wealthy teams!"

Everyone knows that Cassano has a big mouth. So although it was surprising what he said, it was not surprising at all. However, Cassano's main purpose was to criticize the national team coach Prandelli. By the way, Louis was caught in the crossfire.

There is a lot of discussion about Louis in Italy. Actually, there are also many in China.

"We must recruit Louis into the national team before Italy does!" someone called out in the media.

However, it is well known that the Chinese Football Association is a private organization in name, but their relationship with the Football Management Center is well understood. A leader of the national team said in a pre-match news interview: "We have no plans to naturalize Chinese players for the time being."

These words almost made the fans explode.

"Louis's father is from Jiaying, Guangdong Province. He has a household registration. How can he be considered naturalized?"

"He has one chance to choose his own nationality after he turns 18!"

"Naturalization? Can the Football Association clearly distinguish what is naturalization and what is normal recruitment?"

The unprofessionalism of the Chinese Football Association is reflected in all aspects. If Louis's name can still appear frequently in the media in Italy or Longguo, with the arrival of the national team match day, the British media did not continue to hold on to Arsenal and Louis.

For Louis, it doesn't matter that he has not been called up by the national team for the time being. He is very busy now, and there is no point in participating in the national team's games—the European Cup has just passed and the World Cup will start two years later. Now all the major national teams are playing warm-up friendly matches, which is not interesting.

Now he can spend all his time on self-improvement. National team match days are a time for relaxation for most players, but for Louis, they are "refining in seclusion."

Ten days later, Louis finally completed all the training of the [Balotelli Strength Confrontation Module].

"Ding! You have completed the fusion of [Balotelli's power confrontation module]!"

As the voice of the system rang in his mind, Louis had the urge to look up to the sky and roar. But considering that this may scare the youth players at the training ground, he finally endured it.

Louis opened his system panel:

- [Inzaghi score olfactory module]: 100% fusion

- [Andrea's dominant foot module]: 100% fusion

- [Van Persie volley module]: 100% fusion

- [Walcott activates the burst module]: 100% fusion

- [Balotelli Power Counter Module]: 100% fusion

- [Basic passing training module]: Training completed, basic passing score: A

- [Basic shooting training module]: Training completed, basic shooting score: A

- [Basic dribbling training module]: Training progress: 1%

"The next step is to complete the [Basic Dribbling Training Module] and upgrade the three basic skills to S level: passing, shooting, and dribbling. Why are there only passing and shooting now?"

Louis shook his head slightly.

"Ding, ball stopping skills are included in the three basic skills of dribbling, shooting, and passing. The improvement of these three basic skills will correspondingly improve ball feel, ball stopping, etc."

Louis didn't expect that the system had become a little smarter. Could it be because of the upgrade?

It now incorporates five player modules. The next upgrade of the system needs to complete the integration of eight players' technical modules, plus the completion of all three basic skills training modules, and it can only be opened if the basic skills score reaches S level.

But if these abilities that he has now can be fully developed and utilized, it's enough to become a first-class center. Having abilities is one thing. How to use your abilities to perfection is another matter.

Louis also found out that the player skill module is not only useful in certain specific scenarios. For example, [Van Persie's volley module] has obviously improved Louis's ball feel, shot accuracy, and strength. After all, to complete a successful volley, some basic conditions must be met.

This means that if the skills Louis now possesses are properly utilized, he is enough to become a very good center. 

"There is confrontation, speed, and basic shooting skills are up to standard."

Louis touched his chin.

"Maybe I can develop more ways to score."

Before this, he relied heavily on [Inzaghi's scoring smell module]. Because it was this technical module that pulled him out of the quagmire. It can be said that this module was Louis's life-saving straw.

Therefore, even after that, his abilities improved a lot. But fundamentally, Louis still relies too much on this module. He always hopes that he can be like Inzaghi, running single-handedly, running into absolutely open spaces, and constantly testing the offside line.

But actually, his physical condition is much better than Inzaghi. He doesn't need to be afraid of physical confrontation, and he doesn't need to press the offside line too much—anyway, he can rely on explosive starts to penetrate the opponent's defense.

With this new perspective, Louis suddenly thought of many scoring possibilities.

"In addition to obtaining new modules, it is also very important to make good use of and develop existing modules," Louis thought.
