Chapter 5

Leo continued his life at FC Barcelona Academy. He was happy and excited to be there, but he also faced some challenges and difficulties. He had to adjust to a different culture and language, which was not easy for him. He had to work hard and train hard, which was exhausting for him. He had to compete with other students, who were not always friendly or supportive of him. He had to deal with pressure and expectations, which were stressful for him.

He was glad that he had the system to help him and guide him. The system was his best friend and mentor. It gave him useful information and tips about football, Spain, FC Barcelona, and the academy. It also gave him encouragement and motivation when he felt down or discouraged. It also gave him gifts and challenges to improve his skills and abilities.

One of the challenges that the system gave him was to play in a tournament with other academies from around the world. The tournament was called the Youth Champions League, and it was a prestigious and competitive event. It was an opportunity for Leo and his teammates to showcase their talent and potential to the world, as well as to learn from other players and cultures.

Leo was thrilled by the challenge and eager to participate in the tournament. He wanted to prove himself and his academy, as well as to have fun and enjoy football.

He prepared himself for the tournament by training hard and practicing hard. He also used his gifts from the system to enhance his skills and abilities. He used his dribbling skills of prime Cristiano Ronaldo, as well as other gifts that the system gave him, such as:

Shooting skills of prime Lionel Messi: This gift allowed Leo to shoot with incredible accuracy, power, curve, and finesse. He could score from any angle and distance, with any part of his foot or body. He could also take free kicks and penalties with ease.

Passing skills of prime Xavi Hernandez: This gift allowed Leo to pass with incredible vision, precision, timing, and creativity. He could find any teammate or space with a simple or complex pass. He could also control the tempo and rhythm of the game with his passing.

Defending skills of prime Sergio Ramos: This gift allowed Leo to defend with incredible strength, speed, agility, and intelligence. He could tackle any opponent with skill or force. He could also intercept any pass or cross with ease.

He activated these gifts by saying their names in his mind or out loud. He used them sparingly and wisely, as tools to enhance his own style and identity as a player. He did not rely on them too much or abuse them too much, as he knew that they had limitations and risks.

He used these gifts mainly in matches and tournaments, where he could show his talent and potential to the coaches, scouts, agents, media, and public. He also used them occasionally in training and practice, where he could learn from them and improve his own skills.

He amazed everyone with his skills, which were similar to those of some of the best players in the world. He scored many goals and assisted many goals with his skills. He became one of the best players in the tournament, as well as one of the most popular and famous.

He also attracted some attention and admiration from some of the senior players of FC Barcelona, who sometimes visited the academy or played with the students. One of them was Luis Suarez, who was considered to be one of the best strikers in the world. He was Leo's idol, along with Ronaldo and Messi.

Leo was honored and thrilled to meet Suarez in person. He was even more honored and thrilled when Suarez praised his skills and invited him to play with him.

He accepted Suarez's invitation and played with him. He activated his gifts and played like Ronaldo, Messi, Xavi, and Ramos. He felt exhilarated and ecstatic as he played like them with Suarez by his side.

He heard the system's voice in his head.

"Well done, Leo. You have successfully used your gifts from the system: prime Cristiano Ronaldo dribbling, prime Lionel Messi shooting, prime Xavi Hernandez passing, and prime Sergio Ramos defending. You have experienced a glimpse of what it is like to be a football legend. How do you feel?"

Leo replied to the system.

"I feel amazing. That was incredible. Thank you for these gifts."

The system said.

"You're welcome leo
