Beep! Beep! Beep!
The sharp whistle sounded, signaling the end of the 90-minute match.
Mostar Wanderers ultimately defeated Sarajevo FC 3-2.
Around the 80th minute, Mostar Wanderers' stamina began to fade, and they were almost overturned in the final moments.
Moreover, goalkeeper Bakic had a butterfingers moment, leading to a goal, and it can be said that they were nearly forced into a draw by the opponent.
However, the final result was still positive. With goals from Suk and Mlinar, Mostar Wanderers won the match and successfully climbed to third place in the league, also getting closer to the promotion zone.
Due to the small number of teams in the Bosnia and Herzegovina league, despite the promotion and relegation system, there is only one promotion and relegation spot.
In other words, only the champion of the Bosnia and Herzegovina Second League can be promoted to the Bosnia and Herzegovina First League, and the champion of the Bosnia and Herzegovina First League can be promoted to the Bosnia and Herzegovina Premier League.
For Mostar Wanderers, a team with only 4 years of history, this is the first time they have been so close to promotion.
And all of this is thanks to their 'small' center forward.
After the victory, the players of Mostar Wanderers were elated, but they couldn't find the goalscoring hero when they searched for him.
"Where did Suk go?" Mlinar asked.
Goalkeeper Bakic pointed to the dilapidated arch and said, "He rushed out after the game. He probably needs to pee?"
Mlinar shook his head. He stopped looking for Suk and turned to celebrate with his teammates.
Meanwhile, behind a small hill about 100 meters away from the stadium, Suk sat on a stone, clasped his hands together, rested them on his forehead, and whispered, "May all the gods bless me!"
He then made the sign of the cross on his chest before slowly opening his eyes.
As Suk opened his eyes, a blurry image appeared before him. The image slowly became clearer.
It was a virtual human body structure. On this structure, a card was embedded in the forehead, chest, and feet.
Among them, the cards at the chest and feet emitted a faint white light, while the card at the forehead shone with a dazzling diamond light.
"Personal Panel!" Suk whispered.
The three cards began to display in turn.
First was the card at the feet:
[White Card (Skill Card) — Boca's Dribbling] — As a rural teenager in South America, Boca is a talented player favored by the villagers. He has excellent dribbling skills and has completed wonderful dribbling performances. Without confrontation, he can play beautiful football like Ronaldinho!
[White Card (Skill Card) — Leisten's Shooting] — The ability to score the winning goal comes from shooting. Leisten has superb shooting skills, especially good at grabbing the spot volley shots. His shooting angle is very tricky, but he lacks power!
Both cards belong to the lowest level white cards and are worn in the card slots at the feet.
The abilities are not particularly outstanding, until the dazzling diamond card is called out.
[Diamond Card (Special Card) — Inzaghi's Awareness] — The most troublesome poacher in Italian football, his elusive runs make the defense lines of giants head ache. This is an innate talent, a man who is active on the offside line!
These three cards make up all of Suk's current abilities, which is also the key to giving him the confidence to play professional football.
Of course, currently, the most useful is [Inzaghi's Awareness].
This is his most powerful weapon at the moment, and it is also the key to him becoming the top scorer in the Bosnia and Herzegovina Second League.
"Attribute Panel!" Suk whispered again.
The picture became blurred again, and this time an attribute panel appeared.
[Name: Suk]
[Height: 149 cm]
[Weight: 47.5 kg]
[Speed: 71]
[Agility: 80]
[Strength: 59]
[Explosiveness: 77]
Suk's athletic talent is very good. He has been climbing trees and picking bird nests since he was a child and is good at various sports. These abilities are reflected in speed, agility, and explosiveness.
Only strength is limited by height and weight, and has been unable to grow. It hasn't even reached the passing level yet.
However, Suk is still confident in himself.
Although he is a 150 cm small bean sprout, he is only 16 years old this year. He believes that he is only developing later than his peers. Sooner or later, he will grow taller and stronger and become a center forward full of impact.
Of course, at present, limited by physical factors, the only path he can choose is the path of ghostly front-line killers like Inzaghi.
After checking the two attribute panels, it came to the highlight.
With Suk's thoughts, the picture became illusory again. When it condensed again, a picture of a stack of cards falling together appeared.
The cards are very thick, without any patterns, and lie there quietly.
There are five card slots below the card, representing the five cards he can draw after each game victory.
As for the quality of the cards, it is up to luck.
Cards are divided into three categories:
[Skill Card], [Attribute Card], [Special Card].
Skill cards are the most common. Similar to the two white cards, they are skill cards but limited by attribute values.
For example, even if Suk's luck explodes and he draws a Messi dribbling card, he will not be able to equip it.
Only after the physical attributes reach the standard can he wear it.
However, attribute cards are extremely rare. From the current point of view, only one or two will be given in the rewards at the end of the season.
Of course, it may also be that the level of the events Suk is exposed to is too low to trigger too many high-level cards.
Anyway, so far, Suk has only received two attribute cards in the rewards at the end of the season, both stacked on the speed attribute, which is why he has such good speed.
As for the last special card, Suk currently only has one.
[Inzaghi's Awareness] comes from the novice gift package and is his only special card.
The reason why special cards are awesome is that special cards ignore attribute characteristics.
For example, if Suk is given a Messi dribbling special card now, he will directly transform into a dribbling master.
Give him a C Ronaldo jumping special card, and he will take off directly on the spot, letting the opponent feel what it's like to have a small bean sprout beat on their head.
However, this kind of card is too rare, and it is not enough to trigger the drawing qualification. It is estimated that it will have to wait until higher-level events.
A professional game can draw five cards at will. The quality of the cards is affected by luck and the importance of the event.
Suk can wear six cards at a time, corresponding to the six card slots on the body.
Head, torso, and limbs.
Currently, Suk is equipped with a total of four cards. It's not that he doesn't want to wear them, but that there are no other suitable cards.
Similar to Boca's dribbling and Leicester's shooting, they both have flaws.
For example, Boca's dribbling lacks confrontation. Once there is confrontation pressure, the movements are directly deformed.
Leicester's shooting has accuracy but lacks power. When encountering some excellent goalkeepers, they can easily make saves, which requires Suk to shoot at close range or when the goalkeeper's center of gravity is deviated.
But this is a white card, the lowest level card. Suk believes that higher-level cards will bring him better abilities.
Suk took a deep breath and immediately started drawing cards.
The sound of shuffling came from his ears, and the cards in the panel began to reorganize.
After about tens of seconds, a total of five cards appeared in the corresponding card slots below and slowly turned over.
Suk stared intently at the cards, and when he saw a hint of red light appear on the last two cards, he couldn't help but exclaim.
"Red cards?"
This was definitely a higher level card than a white card.
Looking at the two cards at the end emitting a faint red glow, Suk's eyes were shining, but he resisted the urge to flip them over and first checked the white cards.
After all, the best should be saved for last.
Suk checked three white cards at once.
[White Card - Mike's Core (Skill Card)] — As a fitness enthusiast, Mike suffered a car accident that affected his life, causing him to lose both arms. The tenacious Mike did not become discouraged but worked hard, eventually achieving an explosive core ability in his waist and abdomen.
[White Card - Roberts' Dribbling (Skill Card)] — A player from a small town in Brazil. As a Brazilian player, Roberts is not considered a genius in Brazil, but his footwork is still very outstanding.
[White Card - Tony's Interception (Skill Card)] — Praised by his teammates as the 'Defensive Gate', Tony's performance on the defensive end is unparalleled. In addition to his excellent tackling ability, he also has excellent interception awareness!
The three white cards were all of good quality.
Mike's Core enhances physical confrontation ability. If equipped, it can completely allow Suk to obtain a higher attribute bonus in confrontations.
Roberts' Dribbling can replace Boca's lackluster dribbling ability, allowing for better performance when attacking the defense.
As for Tony's Interception, Suk believes it is also a good option, a shield for the front line, to understand it.
Of course, in order to avoid confrontation, Suk will not actively tackle, but wandering around and waiting for an opportunity to intercept is still possible.
That's what he said, but whether he can equip them is also a problem.
After all, skill cards are subject to attribute restrictions, and once the attributes are not up to par, they are worthless.
Suk began to try them one by one.
First was the first one, Mike's Core, which unsurprisingly could not be equipped!
It was still his physical ability that was the problem. His body was too weak, and his attributes could not support this card.
Helpless, he switched to the second one, Roberts' Dribbling. With a slight click, it was successfully equipped, and at the same time, it replaced Boca's Dribbling.
Suk's eyes darted around. It seemed that similar cards could not be equipped at the same time.
This card can give Suk an advantage in dribbling, so that he will not directly deform his movements due to interference from confrontation.
Finally, there was Tony's Interception, which was also successfully equipped with a slight click.
This card appeared on the hand, and its specific effect is unknown, but it's better to have it than not.
After completing the replacement and equipping of the cards, Suk turned his attention to the two red cards.
This was also the first time Suk had drawn a red card of a higher level than a white card since drawing cards.
And it was two at once, which was truly an explosion of good luck.
He couldn't wait to check them, and just one glance made Suk feel very pleasantly surprised.
[Red Card - Tolister's Short Pass (Skill Type)] — As the core midfielder of Sarajevo, Tolister is an outstanding midfielder. He has balanced left and right foot abilities. What is most frightening is his excellent short passing ability, which can always tear apart the opponent's defense and create goal-scoring opportunities for the team time and time again.
Tolister, currently playing for the Sarajevo Football Club, is a Bosnian player. Although his ability does not reach the level of the five major leagues, he is definitely the most outstanding midfielder in Bosnia.
But what surprised Suk the most was that he finally saw a player whose name he knew, instead of someone like Boca who he had never heard of.
This also means that in the future, as the level of the competition rises, the quality of the cards drawn will gradually increase, eventually reaching the level of superstars in the five major leagues and even the world.
The most important thing is that in the future, the Inzaghi set, the Ronaldinho set, the Inzaghi set, and even the Messi and Ronaldo sets will have the opportunity to be collected.
Suk could even come up with a mix and match.
With Ronaldo's header, Messi's foot, and Ronaldinho's foot, and a passing and defensive ability in both hands, he could become the most versatile center forward in football.
Able to break through, pass, dribble, and shoot, and when necessary, he can also be a battering ram to capture the city, perfectly matching any tactical system.
Classic center forward, possible!
Pivot center forward, also possible!
If there are many opportunities, directly transform into a shooter mode and frantically score goals.
If there are no opportunities, dribble and attack the defense, create opportunities, and at worst, he can retreat to participate in organizing the attack and open up offensive channels for his teammates.
Suk had already begun to imagine the scene of himself being cheered by thousands of fans in a wealthy club in the five major leagues in the future.
Shaking his head, Suk looked at the other red card again.
[Red Card - State Recovery Card (Skill Card)] — Eliminates all negative states, a one-time consumable card.
The brief description conveyed explosive news.
Godly card!!!
Is this really a red card?
With this card, all injuries and physical problems can be swept away, and from then on, the injuries that professional players fear most will be far away from him, opening up a broad football career.
This card is definitely the best card Suk has drawn so far.
In a barbaric league like Bosnia, this card is equivalent to giving Suk a second professional life.
Both red cards were very useful, and Suk felt that he was simply too lucky.
Hehehe hehe.
On the way back to the stadium, Suk couldn't help but giggle.
The harvest from this game was full, which made him feel very happy.
"Where have you been?"
Mlinar came over to ask.
Suk immediately put away his silly smile and made up a reason: "Stomach ache."
Mlinar shook his head and said, "The stadium should build a toilet."
This place was originally a pasture, surrounded by open space, and the nearest toilet was about a kilometer away, which was completely impossible to reach during the game.
In most cases, they just find a place to squat.
"What are they doing?"
Suk pointed his mouth towards the front.
Oripe and others were gathered around the truck, holding something in their hands and pointing.
Mlinar smiled and said: "They are reading the newspaper."
"Newspaper?"
Mostar has its own small-town newspaper, but the place is so small that there are no news hotspots at all. The sales of the newspaper are also very dismal, and it is rare for a group of people to discuss the newspaper.
Seeing Suk's doubts, Mlinar said: "A genius has come to town! A real genius!"
Suk curiously walked over and squeezed into the crowd to look at the newspaper.
The headline page of the newspaper had a line of large characters.
'Croatian genius joins Mostar Zrinjski!'
Below is a photo.
This is a young man with short yellow hair, thin cheeks, and fair skin, giving people a delicate feeling.
Those eyes are even more full of agility.
Although the young man is immature, he still has a familiar outline.
While others were pointing at the newspaper, Suk stared at the photo with wide eyes.
No mistake!
Absolutely no mistake!
Although he doesn't have the flowing long hair of the future, and his expression is immature, Suk wouldn't be wrong.
This guy is the future midfield master, Luka Modrić!
