Seeing that the system had, for the first time, given an additional reward, Fly suddenly felt like he had boundless strength.
You know, the last time the system rewarded a skill was when Fly had just joined Arsenal.
There were three stages in Fly's life: the beginner's gift package he received when he got the system, which gave him the skill [Flash];
Then, when he confirmed his relationship with Taylor and completed the binding, he received the skill [Iron Man];
Finally, when he joined the Arsenal youth team, he obtained the skill [Great Fundamentals].
Only at these three important life nodes did the system generously reward him with three skills.
And it was with these three skills that Fly was able to quickly establish himself and start dominating the youth teams at all levels.
It can be said that without these three skills, Fly would not have become the so-called "super genius."
After all, many of Fly's other attributes were not outstanding, and some were even failing.
Now that he had the chance to obtain the fourth skill in his life, Fly was definitely extremely excited.
As for items, Fly said that he had never seen what an item looked like because he had never obtained one!
This time, having the chance to get both an item and a skill at once, Fly was definitely going to give it his all.
But as soon as he saw the requirements for the additional mission reward, Fly felt it was a bit tricky.
Damn it, he had to get a post-match rating of 10!
You know, a perfect post-match rating is not that simple.
Fly remembered that in his previous life, many players couldn't get a post-match rating of 10 even after scoring a hat-trick.
This shows that getting a post-match rating of 10 is indeed extremely difficult!
Especially considering that Arsène Wenger was very likely to substitute him early.
If he didn't even play the full 90 minutes, how could he possibly get a post-match rating of 10?
Thinking of this, Fly quietly spoke to Arsène Wenger in private about his request:
"Boss, today's match is the first Champions League match of my life. I want to play the full game. I wonder if Boss can give me this opportunity?"
Arsène Wenger heard this and looked at Fly with a strange look, not knowing why he suddenly requested to play the full match.
However, after a moment of thought, Arsène Wenger still gave his promise:
"Yes, but the premise is that you must ensure you stay healthy."
"If you show obvious signs of fatigue on the field, I will substitute you, because the body is most prone to injury when fatigued."
"Also, if you really play the full match today, you will need to be a substitute in the next match."
"Don't blame me, child, your physical condition and health must be guaranteed. There must be absolutely no risk of fatigue or injury."
With Arsène Wenger saying this, Fly couldn't object.
After all, every word he said was for his own good, what could he say?
Arriving at the stadium, Fly and his teammates returned to the locker room for final preparations after a half-hour warm-up.
Feeling the thunderous cheers from outside, Fly took a deep breath.
This is the charm of the Champions League!
Following the Main Referee out of the players' tunnel, Fly and the other twenty-one players lined up horizontally in the center of the field.
Listening to the Champions League anthem playing in his ears, Fly softly murmured:
"Playing Barcelona, playing Barcelona, playing Bayern Munich."
"Our factory is collapsing..."
Singing to the end, Fly couldn't help but have black lines on his forehead.
Damn it, he didn't feel anything in his previous life, but in this life, being a member of Arsenal, he felt that this damn tune was truly too targeted.
What does "Our factory is collapsing" mean?
Isn't this purely cursing Arsenal?
Shaking his head and clearing his mind of Random Thoughts (distractions), Fly was prepared to use all his strength in this match.
Even if Braga wasn't worthy of Fly's full effort.
But considering the system's additional mission, Fly had to "use full strength even when a lion hunts a rabbit."
Accompanied by the Main Referee's opening whistle.
The match officially begins!

The 8th minute of the match.
Fabregas and Fly played a wall pass, and then the former sent a through ball into the open space in the penalty area. Fly accelerated to catch up and was about to shoot, but was intercepted by the advancing Felipe.
However, Felipe's advance was half a beat slow. While Fly had already set up his shooting motion, Felipe tackled both Fly and the ball to the ground.
The referee did not hesitate and immediately blew the whistle, penalizing Felipe.
Yellow card + penalty kick, Arsenal had a dream start.
"Oh, Felipe disrupted Fly's one-on-one, but this ball was clearly a foul. The referee gave Braga a yellow card and awarded Arsenal a penalty kick."
"This decision was very decisive, no problem at all!"
"This match is Fly's first Champions League match in his professional career, and he has helped the team create a golden scoring opportunity just a few minutes into the game."
"One can't help but sigh, this talented young man who is famous throughout England is now stepping towards the peak step by step."
Tao Wei, as a guest commentator, also praised alongside Duan Xuan: "Indeed, Fly is a true genius!"
"His existence at least proves one thing to the world, and that is that people of East Asian descent can also play football well and shine brightly on the highest stage of world football competition!"
