Football: I can see player entries.

Chapter 1 Prophet

Old Trafford Stadium, April 2017.

In the second leg of the Europa League quarter-final, Manchester United will host Anderlecht.

Coach's bench.

"Sir, please believe me, Rojo cannot play! His injury hasn't healed yet!"

"And Zlatan, his situation is also very bad!"

Li Yanqing looked at Manchester United manager Mourinho with a serious expression and said somewhat anxiously.

"I understand, I understand."

Mourinho waved his hand repeatedly, as the other party had made this suggestion to him no less than five times in the past two days.

Faced with this assistant coach whom he had personally promoted, he could only patiently explain.

"Zlatan is getting old, and Rojo is playing with an injury."

“I know all of this, but we have no other choice, Lee.”

"Every game is crucial."

Li Yanqing certainly understood Mourinho's current situation, after all, he was also a member of the coaching staff.

The management hoped they could win both the league and Europa League titles this year, but they didn't take into account that Manchester United is currently plagued by injuries.

It's already quite difficult to maintain a single front.

Therefore, they should be allowed to rest!

"They couldn't continue the game..."

Before he could finish speaking, Mourinho had already turned his head away.

He didn't want to listen anymore.

Li Yanqing had no choice; after all, he wasn't the head coach.

He had no choice but to turn around and look at Ibrahimovic, who was standing at the front of the group, with a worried expression.

In his field of vision, he could clearly see a panel of entries.

Name: Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Age: 35 years old.

Status: Normal.

Fatigue level: 100%.

Probability of injury: 100%.

Entry: [Specialist in Goals], [Offensive Inspiration], [Heavyweight Center Forward], [Arrogant and Overconfident]

He didn't know when he acquired this ability, but he could see the status of each player's stats.

These descriptions are either positive or negative, and vary from person to person.

But no matter how you describe it, so far, I haven't missed it.

The status values ​​mentioned above will generally change as the game progresses. Once the probability of injury reaches 100%, it is certain that the player will not be able to hold on until the end of the game unscathed.

Even without physical contact, strenuous exercise can cause muscle discomfort.

This has been proven many times this season.

The attribute entries below, such as "Heavy Center Forward," represent the technical characteristics of the players.

Other entries in this category include Kante's "Barrier" and Mata's "Metronome," among others.

The "Offensive Inspiration" entry differs from the former, as it leans more towards spiritual attributes.

The owners are all leader-type players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Francesco Totti.

As for the "Wonder Ball Expert" title, it's quite rare. So far, he's only seen it on Ibrahimovic, so let's call it an exclusive title for now.

This word is surprisingly fitting for him.

Anyone who has seen his incredible 32-meter bicycle kick would have no doubt that there is a more divine goal than that.

The only seemingly negative personality trait, "arrogance," is not entirely useless.

A bit of unfounded self-confidence is better than Pogba's "traitorous" behavior, right?

Let's take a look at Rojo, who played with an injury.

Name: Marcos Rojo.

Age: 26 years old.

Status: Poor.

Fatigue level: 100%.

Probability of injury: 500% (off the charts).

Entry: [Tank-type defender].

He only has one entry, but that's enough to show that he's a qualified defensive guard.

But that's not the point.

Instead, the probability of injury has exceeded the limit, reaching as high as 500%!

This made Li Yanqing think that he would collapse right at the start of the match!

Soon, the game officially started.

Ibrahimovic took the lead and got tangled up with the defender.

This is also his playing style: a heavy center forward who always rushes to the front and is responsible for holding up the entire opposing defensive line.

In the tenth minute, Mkhitaryan opened the scoring for Manchester United with a low shot.

"Great!" Mourinho waved his arms excitedly. Scoring a goal so early was, of course, the best-case scenario.

If this score holds until the second half, the game will enter "Mourinho time".

By then, things will be basically settled!

But before they could get excited for long, Manchester United were suddenly doused with cold water.

Because Li Yanqing's prediction really came true.

Rojo is injured again and has to leave the game!

Mourinho practically made the substitution through gritted teeth.

With only three spots available, it's incredibly valuable for Manchester United right now.

Too many people need to be rotated and rested!

At this moment, he finally remembered Li Yanqing's advice.

They couldn't continue the game...

He gave the silent Li Yanqing a meaningful look and found that the latter had an "I knew it" expression.

No way?

Was this kid just guessing?

If that's the case, then Ibrahimovic also...

Thinking of this, Mourinho shook his head violently.

How can it be?

Even the strength and conditioning coach couldn't see the problem, let alone an ordinary assistant like him.

With a hint of unease, Mourinho observed Ibrahimovic on the field for a while.

Thankfully, everything seems to be normal.

It must just be bad luck!

He was right about at least one thing: they were really unlucky.

Not long after, a chaotic scramble ensued in front of Manchester United's penalty area, and in the ensuing commotion, the opponent equalized the score.

The situation continued until the end of the first half.

At this moment, Li Yanqing approached Mourinho once again.

“You must believe me, sir.”

"Rojo's condition has proven me right."

"If we lose Zlatan as well, our next matches will be in real danger."

Mourinho really wanted to shut Li Yanqing up, pack him up, and throw him into a dark room.

With such a sharp tongue, say something nice!

Seeing that Mourinho remained unmoved, Li Yanqing took out the tactical board that he had prepared beforehand.

"We substituted Zlatan with Martial in the second half. He had been resting for a long time, and even if he wasn't in good form, at least he was able to run enough."

"Rashford is in good form, he will definitely be able to finish the game."

We have to trust them!

Mourinho looked at the tactics board, then at Li Yanqing in front of him.

He admitted that the latter had a point.

The problem is that both of them are the type of players he dislikes the most.

Talented, famous, arrogant, but lacking in ability.

In his view, such players would only cause trouble.

Ultimately, he did not take Li Yanqing's advice.

He prefers to believe that Ibrahimovic is the one who can lead Manchester United to victory.

Rashford?

Go to hell!

The second half of the game resumed quickly.

Manchester United continued their aggressive attack, and Anderlecht's tight defense prevented them from creating any further good opportunities.

Fortunately, even as stoppage time approached, Ibrahimovic remained active on the field.

For the first time, Li Yanqing prayed that his abilities wouldn't fail.

But what was bound to happen, happened.

Ibrahimovic collapsed in pain after scrambling for a high ball.

The team doctors, who had been waiting on the sidelines, rushed over immediately.

"Substitution! He can't continue the game!"

The team doctor's calls were causing Mourinho a great deal of distress.

He still had his last substitution slot in hand, which he intended to use to take Ibrahimovic off the field for a rest.

However, the game remained unresolved for a long time, so he didn't make any moves.

It just so happens that it's nearing its end!

If Ibrahimovic is seriously injured, he won't know who to trust!

"FUCK!" Mourinho, who is usually very patient, swore for once.

Then, he remembered Li Yanqing, who had been advising him.

However, Mourinho still didn't feel anything was wrong at this point, only that his luck today seemed to be extremely bad.

If Rojo can hold on.

If the opponent doesn't tie the score...

Many unexpected possibilities led to the current situation.

After all, a football is round.

He was still covering his face when he heard a gasp from the commentator.

"Goal! Rashford! He scored the crucial goal in the final moments of the game!"

Manchester United have won the game!

What? Who scored the crucial goal?

Rashford?
