[Hazard Template Characteristics:
Innate Ball Sense (S): On some people's feet, the football always obeys.
Instant Burst (SS): Some people's explosive power always defies logic. This time, it's you.
Rapid Footwork (SS): When others take two steps, you've already taken three, or perhaps four?
Wild Physique (S): Go ahead and charge through. With your strong physicality and durability, as long as your weight doesn't exceed the standard too much, you won't get injured easily.
Prone to Gaining Weight (SS): No one is born perfect, and neither are you. One bite of a hamburger, ten or twenty ounce of meat. So, you know what to do!]

Sean had been staring intently at the system. As the system kept prompting, the curve of Sean's lips grew wider and wider.
'Hahaha, this is truly great.'
Ball sense is the foundation of all football skills. Whether it's passing, trapping, dribbling, or shooting, the improvement of any of these is inseparable from the support of ball sense. To a certain extent, ball sense is undoubtedly the most important factor influencing a player's developmental ceiling. Explosive power, physicality, and footwork are all crucial factors that can greatly affect a player's strength.
This is good now. Not only will I stay in the Eredivisie, but I should also start thinking about leaving my mark in the history of world football! Then… Sean's smile completely froze, and he couldn't help but let out a wail: "What the hell is Prone to Gaining Weight?"
Sean, of course, knew Hazard and his career trajectory. At this point in time, Hazard should have just found his footing at Chelsea. Later, he would become the team's core, enjoy several years of a hugely successful professional peak, and then join Real Madrid for a record-breaking transfer fee. However, by then, Hazard had already become a bit chubby due to neglecting his physique. His loose Real Madrid jersey couldn't even hide his paunch, looking no less 'fat' than his predecessor, Ronaldo.
Because of being overweight, the physical burden was too great. His originally excellent physical strength in duels completely disappeared, and he became a 'glass man' who would get injured at the slightest provocation. As a result, Hazard not only prematurely ended his brilliant professional career but also caused Real Madrid's 160 million euro transfer fee to go to waste.
But was that a physique problem? Unlike Ronaldo's illness, Hazard simply couldn't control his mouth! Hamburgers, that cursed thing. Eating it occasionally might be fine, but how did Hazard manage to eat it every day and not get tired of it? In short, the fat on Hazard's body was definitely not due to his physique; it was purely his lack of self-management.
Listing Prone to Gaining Weight as his personal characteristic is extremely, extremely unreasonable! Especially when it's shoved onto me as a characteristic! And the integration reached 100% instantly! Other characteristics haven't fully integrated, so why did Prone to Gaining Weight fully integrate?
Sean's head buzzed:'System Daddy, aren't you messing with me?!'
In his previous life, the reason Sean could persevere in the debauched world was not only to earn money but also to occasionally taste various delicacies and satisfy his taste buds.
Now, this is great. Just when he finally escaped the shadow of his previous life, the system immediately shoved Prone to Gaining Weight onto him. Professional players already have to be careful about what they eat. If he's prone to gaining weight, won't many delicacies have to be completely forbidden? Hamburgers and such are irrelevant; it's fine not to eat them. No big deal. But what about other delicacies? Occasional tasting shouldn't be a big problem, right? If life is without various delicious foods, wouldn't half the fun be gone?
"This is a bit too much!"
Sean shook his fist at his reflection in the mirror. What kind of decent system gives its host a debuff! As for the low integration of the other characteristics besides ball sense, Sean wasn't particularly concerned. How easy is it to replicate the characteristics of a small, short-legged player on a tall, long-legged player!
Take explosive power, for instance. A tall player needs possibly more than twice the explosive power of a small player to achieve the same burst speed. Footwork is the same. Generally speaking, small players naturally have higher footwork frequency than tall players. Sean is, after all, eleven centimeters taller than Hazard. To make Sean achieve Hazard's burst speed and footwork, it's not enough to simply copy Hazard's physical qualities.
The requirements for each aspect might need to be twice as high as Hazard himself. As for how this is achieved, that goes beyond Sean's knowledge of kinesiology. Anyway, as long as the system can do it, that's fine. This means that Sean's physical qualities in all aspects will undergo leapfrog, even contradictory, enhancements, which, of course, requires time for transformation.
One year? It's not long at all. Even if it took three years to fully integrate, that would still be an incredible miracle! What's more, hasn't ball sense already integrated 81%? That's already enough! Although not fully integrated, it should have reached a first-class level, right?
Ball sense has gone from average to... well, first-class. All abilities like trapping, passing, dribbling, and shooting will improve by leaps and bounds. The effect should be immediate! Thinking of this, Sean pushed the issue of Prone to Gaining Weight to the back of his mind and enthusiastically walked towards the door:
Quickly, quickly, the sooner I get to the training base, the sooner I'll know how good I am now... The 13-14 Eredivisie winter break has ended, and all teams have gathered to prepare for the second half of the League. Ajax II will, of course, be no exception. The team plays in the Eerste Divisie.Although results are not particularly important, it is a crucial way to ensure that young players play high-quality matches as much as possible.
What's more, Ajax is the leader of the Eredivisie's Big Three. If the reserve teams of the other two giants, Eindhoven and Feyenoord, are doing well in the Eerste Divisie, but Ajax II gets relegated, that would be a huge loss of face!
What you fear most often comes true. After the first half of the season, Ajax II was only one spot above the relegation zone, and there was a real danger of relegation! As the head coach of the reserve team, Mitchell Van der Gaag naturally dared not be careless. Arriving at the training base early, Mitchell busily prepared the training plan in his office before rushing to the training ground just in time. He happened to see a few players finishing their extra training and heading towards the sidelines to gather for the team warm-up. Mitchell didn't pay much attention.
As a professional player, it is very normal to do moderate extra training during personal time. There is really nothing to pay attention to. If someone only trains when the coach is watching, they have no future at all. What's the point of playing professional football then?
