Chapter 502 - Chapter 204: Two-Stage Deception

[I'll give you a "perfect fit for..."]

The Manchester City fans, who had been enjoying the broadcast, were instantly triggered after hearing "a perfect fit for Manchester United."

Why does Manchester United get all the good things?

Alright, it wasn't just the Man City fans; fans of Liverpool and other clubs interested in Tendou immediately started cursing.

Especially the Liverpool fans.

La Liga has the El Clásico between Real Madrid and Barcelona; the Premier League likewise has its own world-famous North-West Derby.

How deep does the enmity between these two teams run?

Tendou had once read a report that the two giants, Liverpool and Manchester United, had not conducted a single transfer between them for 61 years.

The feud between the two Reds didn't just start with Ferguson's famous quote, "My greatest challenge was knocking Liverpool right off their fucking perch."

And if nothing unexpected happens, this feud will continue for another hundred years.

Click~

It was the sound of a heel touching the soccer ball, and it was also the sound of Loki's heart breaking.

How could he have imagined that Tendou, a man standing at 1.93 meters, could perform such a gorgeous and elegant move?

It was like Zhang Fei doing embroidery, and he actually managed to stitch a flower!

Tendou burst forward with speed, brushing past his opponent's body and getting behind Loki.

In an instant, red alerts blared throughout the PSG backline.

On the other end, Chigiri and Agi on the left and right flanks had already made their forward runs.

Tendou's eyes scanned towards Chigiri.

This one look got the "Little Cheetah" incredibly excited. He was ready to replicate the world-class performance of Reo and Nagi with Tendou.

But then.

With a thwack, Tendou used the same trick again, feinting east to strike west, and tapped the ball to Agi on the right.

A classic no-look pass!

After Agi received the ball, there was no one defending him. He advanced 10 meters, only being intercepted as he approached the PSG penalty area.

This was inevitable.

Paris Saint-Germain had spent too much defensive energy on Tendou.

Every time Tendou made an explosive run through the center, it left the two wings of Man City wide open.

He alone had tied down the entire PSG midfield.

But he wasn't creating a golden opportunity for Agi or Chigiri!

It was for himself!

Tendou himself!

Just as Tendou himself had said, he was not a babysitter.

Reo's goal was to help Nagi score. Tendou's was to use his teammates to score a goal for himself.

Agi saw this crystal clear. Tendou's gaze was one that treated him as a disposable "tool."

However.

This was exactly what Agi's ideal striker should be like.

So when Tendou's gaze swept over, Agi didn't hesitate to pass the ball back to the center.

This pass was much more comfortable than Reo's. As expected of a product of the Man City youth academy, it had style.

Tendou turned to meet the ball and cushioned it.

The ball changed direction and rolled slowly into the PSG penalty area.

Tendou then turned and accelerated again, like a spinning top,绕过 a defender and charged forward to control the ball.

Inside the box, the PSG defense dared not act rashly.

They mainly focused on frontal marking and positioning, while also maintaining pressure on the two Man City wingers on the left and right.

Tendou's gaze once again swept to the advancing Agi on the right.

He pushed the ball with his left heel.

The viewers' attention in the live stream instantly shifted with the camera towards Agi.

The PSG defensive line also tilted in that direction.

But Loki remained unmoved, his eyes fixed on Tendou's ankles.

Agi was already prepared to receive the ball and shoot.

An opportunity like this is fleeting; he only needed a moment to get a shot off.

But just then.

Tendou's left foot slid over the ball, and he flicked it backward with his heel!

Just as I thought!

The target of this guy's pass wasn't Agi, but that friend of his.

A sharp light burst from Loki's eyes. He believed he had seen through Tendou, and he shifted his body to move towards Chigiri.

The viewers in the live stream cried out in alarm.

The camera also swung dramatically to the left with Loki.

But the expected pass never came.

Loki had just thrown his weight to the left when his eyes suddenly shot wide open.

Under his gaze, Tendou's eyes were terrifyingly cold, laced with a cold electricity.

Zzzzt~

Tendou's left foot, after flicking the ball, once again slid over it. And then, the screen went completely black.

"Release~"

A cold voice rang out. Accompanied by the dark screen being sliced open, Tendou reappeared before the audience, already in his post-shot stance.

Swish~

The ball shot into the goal like a bolt of lightning. Renoir couldn't even make a move.

2:1!

Tendou had used a double fake in the penalty area, fooling the entire PSG defensive line, and even tricking the cameraman into swinging back and forth.

"A genius! Mr. Ego, Tendou is a genius!"

In the control room, the NPC Teieri Anri was jumping up and down as usual.

"Stop using your shallow brain to describe this goal," Ego grumbled at Anri's limited vocabulary, as usual.

This goal was also a masterpiece that wowed the entire audience, comparable to Nagi's.

But the feeling was completely different.

Watching Tendou play, you get the feeling that this was how it was supposed to be.

But watching Nagi play, the brilliance of his goals lay in their unexpectedness, yet they were difficult to replicate.

Ego knew very well why this was the case.

It was because Tendou could consistently produce such brilliant goals.

This was his regular weapon, not the blessing of Lady Luck that Nagi received when pushed to his limits.

Therefore, Tendou is a genius!

Therefore, Tendou is worth €8 million!

€8 million for a young player is very, very high!

Even the genius players from the youth academies of the top five league giants would have a price in the range of 2-3 million Euros in annual salary, and it would not exceed 30 million.

After all, young players have not yet proven themselves in first-team competitions and carry a certain risk.

But what made Tendou a freak was his ability to compete with stars like Noa, Loki, Adam, and Luna without being at a disadvantage.

That's why Tottenham's first offer for him reached €6 million, giving him the annual salary of a starting player to show their sincerity.

And that's why the other giants immediately raised the bid by €2 million to €8 million!

People were comparing him to a prodigy with a limitless future like Loki, not just an ordinary talent.

"My God, what happened?!"

"It's a goal!"

"The number 7 from Man City scored a world-shaking goal!"

"He played with the entire Paris Saint-Germain defensive line with his creativity!"

"Damn, his IQ must be over 160! That naive little French girl was scammed out of everything and left with only her underwear!"

"..."

The English commentator continued his output, becoming more and more aggressive, and before you knew it, he had fired a shot at the whole country.

As fellow top-five leagues, the competitive relationship between them needs no further description.

They would not miss any opportunity to strike a blow against their peers.

But more painful for the French fans than this commentator's sweeping insult was not that their team was being defeated.

The 17-year-old Loki was already shouldering the future of France for the next ten years. He was seen by the French people as the next captain of the national team, the leader of the post-Messi-Ronaldo era.
