"Hey, Lu Junfeng, it's your turn to play!"

At the Korney training base in North London, a match is underway in the Premier League Reserve League between the Arsenal reserves and the West Ham United reserves. Lu Junfeng, a substitute forward for the Arsenal reserves, is about to make his entrance.

Lu Junfeng is not just any player; he has an extraordinary background. Seven years ago, he was reborn at the age of 12 and acquired an all-purpose football system, starting with the Peak Messi Template. Despite initially having only 30% compatibility with this template—which limited his access to Messi's full teachings—he managed to excel at his age group.

His journey led him to Europe, where he joined a small club in England and became part of their youth team. Expectations were high for him to rise quickly through the ranks. However, his template compatibility stagnated at 44% over the years. Physically, Lu Junfeng transformed into a robust figure, standing at 1.9 meters tall and weighing over 200 pounds. Despite attempts to control his diet, he found that even cold water seemed to contribute to his weight gain.

Frustrated with the system's lack of clarity regarding its intentions, Lu Junfeng learned that only by playing matches could he increase his compatibility and that reaching 80% was necessary to unlock further benefits from the template. His height and bulk affected his agility on the field, leading to a decline in his dribbling skills—a once-promising talent now seemed wasted.

As time went on, many of his peers surpassed him in skill and recognition. Consequently, Arsenal had to shift Lu Junfeng's playing style from winger to center forward—a position he disliked due to its physical demands. He was reluctant to engage in aerial duels and physical contests against tough center-backs.

Despite these challenges, Lu Junfeng's physique remained advantageous in lower-level competitions. His speed was decent enough that he did not worry about not being able to play professionally. Championship clubs had shown interest in him before, but he declined their offers due to their rough playing style.

Recently turning 19, Lu Junfeng caught the attention of Premier League powerhouse Arsenal, who offered him a youth contract. This opportunity felt like a turning point for him; Arsenal is renowned for nurturing young talent. He resolved to adapt his game as needed—whether that meant heading or playing center forward.

As the match progressed with a score of 0-0 and only ten minutes left on the clock, Arsenal's reserves struggled with finishing despite dominating possession. Coach Neil Banfield decided it was time for Lu Junfeng to enter as a towering center forward in hopes of scoring with a header.

Upon entering the pitch, Lu Junfeng used his size to shield defenders while urging his teammates for passes. Following the coach's strategy, one teammate sent a long ball toward him. Unfortunately, Lu Junfeng misjudged it; instead of controlling it with his chest, it hit his face but he quickly regained possession.

With determination, he held off a smaller defender and unleashed a powerful left-footed shot that was parried away by the opposing goalkeeper—a moment that showcased Lu Junfeng's potential despite previous setbacks.

"Wow! What kind of goalkeeper is this? He's got some skills!" Lu Junfeng thought as he recognized this attempt as one of the most dangerous so far in the match.
