Ding! Congratulations, Host, for receiving the reward: Filippo Inzaghi's Positioning Template!"

... The familiar system prompt sounded in his mind.

Ye Lingfeng, who had just finished celebrating with his teammates and was walking towards his own half, was greatly shocked!

Extra reward, golden treasure chest!

Inzaghi's Positioning Template!

An unexpected delight, a divine reward!!!

Filippo Inzaghi!

The striker who was criticized as a 'three-no striker'...

But he was a divine striker who, with his exquisite positioning and poaching awareness, single-handedly opened up an era!

He was even called the man who lived on the offside line!

His ghostly positioning made defenders of the same period suffer endlessly!

This template perfectly matched the 'King of the Penalty Area' skill!

Theoretically, it could help Ye Lingfeng find shooting opportunities in the penalty area faster!

Imagine, with the bonus of Inzaghi's positioning.

With his extremely high positioning attribute.

At the beginning of the match, he would be able to sniff out good opportunities in front of goal earlier.

Triggering the bug of a guaranteed goal for the first shot inside the penalty area much sooner!

This would undoubtedly bring an unprecedented impact to the course of the match!

Establishing a certain advantage at the start would provide invaluable help for the subsequent game!

A slight numbness spread across the back of Ye Lingfeng's head as a pure consciousness drilled into his brain.

Straight through his limbs and bones!

After loading the Inzaghi template, for a moment, he seemed to transform into that highly spiritual Milan divine striker!

"Positioning: 80 → 93!"

His positioning attribute soared even higher!

Directly breaking through the 90 mark!

... After Ye Lingfeng changed the score on the field to 1-0.

The match continued.

Undoubtedly.

The focus on the field had shifted from Kubo Takefusa and Ansu Fati, who performed well at the start, to Ye Lingfeng!

In an era where pure center forwards are extremely difficult to cultivate and discover.

A center forward with sufficiently balanced and powerful abilities in all aspects is undoubtedly a hot commodity for every team!

Moreover, everyone knew the primary purpose of today's training match!

Barça B Team urgently needed attacking players, especially a center forward!

The absence of their starting center forward, Dong Gu, made their weekend match against Real Madrid Castilla particularly tricky.

And the outstanding Ye Lingfeng was a player for the center forward position!

At once, all the players who intended to stand out in this training match and join Barça B Team.

Felt a great sense of crisis at this moment!

"Mark him tightly, and if you see an opportunity, tackle! Don't hesitate!"

A Team's goalkeeper, Neuhaus, roared at the two center-backs in front of him.

As the starting goalkeeper for the U17s.

Having an inexplicable goal scored by Ye Lingfeng, he also felt a loss of face!

"Just watch, he won't have another chance to enter the penalty area!"

Center-back Bedia gritted his teeth fiercely, staring at Ye Lingfeng's figure not far away.

South Korean youngster Lee Seung-woo also glared at Ye Lingfeng at this moment.

Hovering near him.

He seemed determined to stick to Ye Lingfeng like a dog-skin plaster in the upcoming match!

... A Team, having conceded a goal, launched a series of offensives into B Team's territory for the past ten-odd minutes!

A Team's front line, led by Fati and Kubo Takefusa, frequently attacked B Team's defense!

However, since both of them were originally wing players.

Neither was a pure center forward.

They indeed lacked a bit in terms of finishing in front of goal!

Thirty-seventh minute.

"Bang!"

A Team's midfielder Lucas intercepted the ball near the halfway line, completed a wall pass with a teammate beside him.

Then powerfully threaded the ball to Ansu Fati, who was on the wing!

Although Fati was not tall, having been training according to Pedro's template, his influence on the wing had already shown some success!

A calm shoulder drop and feint allowed him to shake off B Team's full-back Miguel, who was marking him.

Immediately after, a powerful dribble took him towards the byline!

Miguel's speed was not his strong suit; after being left behind, he could only grit his teeth and sprint towards the center to cover!

After all, blindly chasing Fati in this situation was not a reasonable choice!

Fati, temporarily alone, carried the ball near the byline and promptly observed the situation in the center.

Inside the penalty area, Kubo Takefusa had already taken his position.

His position was quite good!

"Release the ball quickly!"

Seeing Fati seemingly hesitate, youth coach Garcia sternly instructed him from the sideline.

Fati hesitated for a moment, then, facing the center-back coming to cover, he gritted his teeth and chose a half-height cross!

The football arced and fell into the penalty area!

Inside the penalty area.

Kubo Takefusa leaned against the tall center-back, constantly trying to move and protect his position.

But he looked extremely cramped!

Facing Fati's accurately placed cross, he painstakingly moved a little distance away from the defender.

However, just as he was about to jump to challenge for the header, he was forcefully squeezed out of position by the simultaneously jumping center-back!

The cross was headed away by B Team's center-back, and the goalkeeper leaped to catch the ball!

Attack terminated!

"Baka! Baka!"

Kubo Takefusa, who was pushed out of the penalty area by the defender, was seething with anger.

Under pressure, his mentality had become somewhat unbalanced!

"Ah..."

A sigh immediately came from the spectators outside the field!

Clearly, Kubo Takefusa's small physique made it very difficult for him to gain an advantage in the penalty area.

Especially when facing tall center-backs, it was basically a positional crush!

"His physical condition is still too poor; he's suited to operate outside the penalty area!"

On the sideline, Kluivert shook his head.

The Messi of Japan?

In the eyes of Kluivert, a veteran 'Messi fan'.

Kubo Takefusa was not just a little bit different from Messi at sixteen or seventeen years old!

Although Messi was plagued by illness at that time.
