Due to the "new news" received from the system long before the start of the game, Feng Quan went to the bathroom alone on the way back to the home team's lounge with his teammates, citing urgency.

Feng Quan, who entered the bathroom, casually found a toilet and sat down, and immediately entered the system.

As Feng Quan had predicted, as soon as he entered the system, a text about the "new mission" was presented to him.

Soccer Pro Side Mission (1): The host plays as a starter and helps the team win the Champions League by more than 4 goal difference.

Additional conditions: The host must create at least 3 goals in the match (goals, assists).

Completing the "Soccer Pro Side Quest (1)" rewards 3 skill points; If the "Additional Conditions" are met at the same time, an additional 5 points will be awarded to the Soccer Class Attribute (multiple attributes can be bonus).

However, when Feng Quan finished reading the conditions for completing the task, he couldn't help frowning slightly.

That's right, completing the various tasks set by the system can indeed allow Feng Quan to earn a certain number of skill points to improve his strength, or buy some consumable items to help him achieve good results in the competition.

However, no matter how strong a team player is, no matter how strong he is, he still needs the strong support of his teammates to achieve the tasks set by the system.

For this game alone, Atletico Madrid will need to score at least three more goals in the second half while also ensuring that the goal cannot be breached again. In addition, if Feng Quan wants to be rewarded with "strings attached", he must "produce" at least two goals in the second half of the game.

Although Feng Quan is full of confidence in Atletico Madrid's victory in this game, it is still very difficult to achieve the goal of "four-goal victory" in this game because the difference in strength between the two sides is not very large.

Not to mention that Atletico Madrid does not have a "crushing" advantage in terms of overall strength, in terms of the team's game strategy in this game, it is extremely difficult to score three more goals in the 45 minutes of the second half of the game, and at the same time prevent the opponent from scoring their own goals again.

If it is an away game, Feng Quan believes that Diego Simeone will inevitably choose the game strategy of "focusing on defense and waiting for opportunities to counterattack" in the second half of the game when the team is in the lead.

In this way, when the opponent is eager to recover the score disadvantage and attack aggressively, Atletico Madrid can make the most of Fengquan's speed advantage.

However, with Atletico Madrid returning to the Champions League after a 16-year absence, it is unlikely that Diego Simeone will opt for a counter-attacking style of play, even if it is just to please the fans.

In fact, if Feng Quan had known what it took to complete the task in the first half of the game, he might have tried more to hit the ball himself and less often for his teammates. After all, the probability of "creating a goal" by scoring by your own shot is much higher than assisting a teammate to score.

"Alas, it seems that if you want to achieve this 'side quest (1)', I'm afraid you can only wait until the later Champions League group stage to face weaker opponents."

…………

Although Feng Quan didn't have much hope of completing the "Side Mission (1)" in this game, he was still full of joy when he returned to the home team's lounge.

After all, Feng Quanke scored the first goal of a Chinese player in the Champions League in the game, and Atletico Madrid, who returned to the Champions League after 16 years, also ended the first half with a score lead.

In this lounge full of joy, Feng Quan's disappointment because "the task is difficult to complete" was also significantly diluted.

Of course, Feng Quan did not completely give up on completing the "side quest (1)" in this game.

So, when Diego Simeone was overjoyed because the team was in the lead, Feng Quan said tentatively: "BOSS, how should we play in the second half, or continue to expand the lead by relying on offense like in the first half?" ”

With a smile on his face, Diego Simeone asked, "If you were in charge, what choice would you make?" ”

After thinking for a moment, Feng Quan immediately showed a rather serious expression and said: "If it is for the sake of pleasing the fans, I think we should continue to adhere to the attack-oriented tactics in the second half of the game." However, if it is for the best interests of the team, I personally think that the team should choose the defensive counterattack that the team is best at, as the main tactic in the second half of the game. ”

"Tell me your reasoning." Diego Simeone said with interest.

"If we continue to choose the strategy of attacking against attack, although we still have a lot of confidence to win the game, and the game will be more exciting." After a slight pause, Feng Quan continued: "But in the case of our big attack, there will inevitably be a lot of space in our backcourt. Once the opponent seizes the opportunity to launch a quick counterattack, the attacking line of the Zenit St. Petersburg team led by Hulk will still pose a considerable threat to our backline. In this way, even if we can win on the strength of our strength, we will not necessarily get more goal difference. ”

"So, you want the team to play defensive counter-attacks in the second half?" Diego Simeone asked.

"Yes, after all, that's what we do best." Feng Quan said confidently.

"Feng, although what you said is very reasonable, I don't think you have said all the words in your heart." Diego Simeone smiled.

Hearing this, Feng Quan was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Diego Simeone with an expression of "you guessed through" and said, "Hehe, it's really not so easy for you to hide from the boss." ”

"Actually, that's the case. My dad called me this morning to tell me that the sports channel of Chinese state television was going to broadcast our game live to the whole country. After a slight pause, Feng Quan scratched his head again and said: "So, my father hopes that I can score a few more goals in my Champions League debut, and when someone insults Chinese players in front of him in the future, I can use my goal to plug those people's bad mouths." ”

After listening to Feng Quan's narration, Diego Simeone's face showed a rare hint of "kindness".

"Unexpectedly, you are still a filial child."

"It's not entirely for my father, but for my own reasons. In our country, there are a lot of pseudo-fans, many of whom don't even know what the most basic offside rules are, and of course they can't contribute to the football cause of our country. However, it is these pseudo-fans who always like to insult Chinese football in various ways. ”

After a pause, Feng Quan's sudden face was serious and said: "So, I want to use my excellent performance to silence those guys who can only insult Chinese players with their mouths, and let them see that Chinese can also play wonderful football." And to keep scoring more goals is the most powerful weapon to fight back against them......"
