Chapter 3: Alex's Template.

His hard work and effort paid off; he first represented the first team when he was only 16 years old in 2008. Then, he represented the U-20 English National team and successfully qualified for the Egypt U-20 2009 World Cup, which was different from the original time and space where England was eliminated in the qualification and didn't participate.

They defeated the Italian youth team after hard work and a bit of fluke, thanks to Alex's last-minute goal. Of course, as a fake fan, Alex didn't know that the U-20 English Team didn't qualify in the original time and space.

He then led the team all the way until the Final, where they defeated the Brazilian youth team 2-1, ending the reign of Brazil and Argentina winning the cup since 1999.

He won the best player and the golden boot with 9 goals, winning the first youth world cup for England, exploding his popularity once more. That same year, he also won the Golden Boy award, beating Alexandre Pato.

It can be seen how powerful and talented he was. But now, if you go to YouTube and search for talented football players who wasted their talent, his name will probably be the one to appear in any video. Anyone reached the conclusion that he wasted his talent by not leaving Sunderland. But how could they understand his thoughts?

After some melancholy, he asked the system, "So now, I need to wait six months for the first draw?"

[Negative, you have a draw; it was only after the lottery that it will enter the six-month countdown.]

[Note that after you select the sixth attributes for a player of your team, they will only absorb one attribute a month, and so, they will just finish absorbing the attributes after the cooling down of the lottery normally. But you can also choose not to use a template after drawing and wait for the right time, but the cooling down time will still pass, so you can accumulate players template.]

Alex feels that he understands the base and will understand the other things gradually.

Like a kid who got a new toy, he said excitedly while rubbing his hands, "Let's draw."

[Before your first lottery, don't you wish to know your template?]

Alex feels a little tempted and curious to know his template. "Okay, show it."

He then saw a holographic screen with:

-------------------------

Seeing his attributes, Alex didn't know what to say. Having an overall rating of 84 is good, especially if the rating is like in the FIFA game, because in FIFA 19 game, only 79 players have an overall rating of above 85, meaning he is in the top 80 of the best football players. But to be honest, maybe he is being arrogant, but Alex has confidence in his skill, thinking that he is in the Top 10 of active players. But now, he knows that he is inflating his ego.

Soon, Alex regained his confidence. Anyway, with the template plus the ability to play a match in his mind once a day, he will definitely be the best one day.
