That evening, Perrin invited Zhao Gang to dinner, where they discussed some business matters.

Several sports brands had already taken notice of Zhao Gang's performance. The most sincere offer came from Ta'an Sports in Long Country, willing to spend ten million pounds to sign him for six years.

This was a very attractive offer for a player of Zhao Gang's age on a Championship platform! More than a million a year, equivalent to Zhao Gang's salary. He could earn this money without exerting any effort!

Although Perrin had suggested that Zhao Gang could build his own Long Country agent team to handle commercial partnerships in the Long Country region, Zhao Gang had no such plans for the time being.

Perrin's actions were very professional, whether it was asking Norwich for a raise and a new contract, haggling with various Premier League clubs, or directly rejecting Hengtai's offer. Clearly, every step was for Zhao Gang's benefit, not just pursuing her own interests.

"Perrin, I want you to handle all commercial matters. I believe you can do it well. As I once said, you are a very excellent partner." Zhao Gang had said this when facing tricky questions from the media.

Those media outlets were just stirring up trouble, suggesting that he was being controlled by his agent, Perrin.

Perrin smiled and nodded, "I just think you're very excellent, very discerning, and very good at dealing with people. This must be Long Country's education. You won't be disturbed by any off-field factors, you don't have the strange hobbies of other players, women, alcohol, even marijuana, parties. You will definitely accomplish what you are determined to do."

Hearing the word "parties," Zhao Gang felt a little unnatural. Before, in the Carrington youth training camp, Zhao Gang's most frequent activity was going to parties with Dong Lu.

"The last time you spoke to the media, you were right. Although I've never said this to you, I really do watch all your interviews.

You said that professionals do professional things, and off the field, you will listen to my advice. Do you know how considerate and heartwarming those words are for an agent?

I believe this is unique to Long Country's education, humble and full of wisdom.

It's a pity that not all Long Country players have your skills. I could sign more."

Perrin sighed. The Long Country people's character was excellent, but their technique was too poor. They couldn't even play as substitutes in European leagues.

Zhao Gang himself wasn't aware that conflicts often arose between agents and players. The reason was simple: many young players didn't understand commercial knowledge and always wanted to interfere with the agent's work, even thinking that the agent was pocketing money.

Perrin really wanted to tell those fools that even if she pocketed some money, the contracts she negotiated were still several times better than the ones they worked hard to get themselves!

After the two had dinner, Zhao Gang returned to his residence.

He opened the system because he had already received a notification sound, but he wasn't as impatient as before.

Unlike before, when he would rush to check as soon as he heard a notification sound.

The reward was for creating a consecutive scoring record.

Now, because he had exceeded ten consecutive wins, system points could no longer be obtained through league victories, only through defeating strong opponents.

Or, like this, creating his own records would earn rewards.

Zhao Gang didn't know there would be a reward for setting this record at first, otherwise he wouldn't have given up the penalty kick.

"Obtain system points *10, obtain one Lucky Experience Card."

"Lucky Experience Card, duration 20 minutes, can be used on the field.

After use, increase your luck value, including but not limited to triggering when the host's shot is guaranteed to go in, interception is guaranteed to succeed, the opponent's shot is guaranteed to miss the goal, pass is guaranteed to go out of bounds, dribble is guaranteed to fall."

Zhao Gang's eyes almost popped out. This wasn't a lucky card, it was practically an invincible card!

Twenty minutes of invincibility, as long as he kept shooting, wouldn't this be a one-sided massacre?

Wasn't it too OP?

Zhao Gang felt it was a little unrealistic, so he looked at it carefully again.

Although there was the word "guaranteed," seemingly one hundred percent, there was a prerequisite: when triggered.

This meant that it might not trigger, only probabilistically trigger, and only after triggering would a certain event occur.

But even so, it was terrifyingly powerful.

If it triggered when the opponent was certain to score, wouldn't they just miss the ball?

Zhao Gang suddenly thought, did Sterling, the famous "happy football" representative of Man City, have a Misfortune Card, triggering a guaranteed miss of an open goal?

Otherwise, how could he be so magical, missing so many one-on-ones?

Zhao Gang put all ten system points into passing. Because now, with Wright's injury and Shiro's return, Farke had changed the formation.

Zhao Gang retreated a bit, becoming a more organization-focused forward.

The reason was Zhao Gang's one-touch passing, which enriched the team's tactics.

Now, Zhao Gang's passing reached 91, and he could indeed perfectly fulfill this position.

And this position was more like a frontcourt free agent, not participating in defense.

This kind of treatment was definitely for the team's most core player, similar to Messi's role at Barcelona, ​​although his fame and Norwich's fame were too far from Messi and Barcelona.

After using ten system points, Zhao Gang unlocked another rating item, tackling, at 30.

Indeed, amateur among amateurs. But there was no need to improve tackling or interception, these defensive stats, for the time being.

Zhao Gang had a good night's sleep.

As for Zhao Gang's last game, coming on as a substitute for twenty minutes and contributing two assists and one goal, the authoritative rating agency gave him a score of 10!

His performance wasn't particularly better than before.

Even compared to his debut data and the data from defeating Dortmund, it was much worse.

But this was indeed his first perfect score.

The reason, of course, was that his retreat activated Shiro.

His performance on the field was no longer just about scoring goals himself, but also about making his teammates better, inspiring his teammates to ignite passion and fighting spirit!

That was the key.

His performance could truly be called perfect.

This score was rarely seen in top leagues. Even powerful teams like Barcelona's trident and Real Madrid's midfield trio found it difficult to obtain this kind of rating.

This was the first Championship player to receive this kind of rating, and of course, it was also the first time a Long Country player had this kind of treatment.

Zhao Gang woke up and realized that his Lucky Card's duration had been extended by 20 minutes!

It was because of this record.

This was an unprecedented record in the Championship for a Long Country player. Later pursuers could only tie it at best, but could not break it!

"God-level performance, Zhao Gang leads Norwich to continue their winning streak!"

"Miracle teenager creates a new consecutive scoring record! Awarded a perfect score!"

"He is the record creator, the record shredder!"

"Zhao Gang leads an all-substitute lineup, staging a comeback in 20 minutes!"

"The former bully actively gives up the penalty kick, Zhao Gang establishes a true core position!"

The *Carro Road Sports News*, the Long Country media, really loved this young man.

Every game could create headlines.

In the past, the *Carro Road Sports News* had to carefully find the reasons after winning a game, and then write about them extensively.

Now, there was no need. Just write about Zhao Gang with their eyes closed!

His performance conquered the media and the fans.

Especially in the Europa League match against Dortmund, the Norwich County football hooligans stood outside the stadium in high spirits. They looked like they were going to cause trouble, but in reality, they were maintaining order with the police!

Many extremists had now been completely conquered by Zhao Gang. Some football hooligan groups were regularly on the streets maintaining order on match days!

In the past, if a clown like Claire provoked them, these hooligan fans would definitely seize the opportunity to smash the visiting team's bus!

They would even have a big fight with the Millwall fans who came to challenge them!

But now it was very harmonious.

Why?

Because we won, and our group of substitutes beat you so badly that you were crawling all over the ground.

We will sing songs to send you clowns off!

The sales of the *Carro Road Sports News* had skyrocketed, and the reason was those two words, Zhao Gang.

As long as his name was on it, the content seemed to be irrelevant. Fans would buy it like crazy.

As for the merchandise, the shoes and jerseys were already sold out, and the price had risen to hundreds of dollars. Fans cursed the management while buying them.

This was also why Perrin had been unwilling to sign with a sports brand.

He saw a huge opportunity. Zhao Gang's skills and personality would definitely drive half the world's fans crazy!

The current Zhao Gang had not grown up yet and did not have the ability to ask for a high price.

Next year, when he enters the Premier League, countless sports brands will wave their money to find him!

If this was any other young man, they would have signed as soon as they heard that a sports brand was willing to spend ten million pounds.

But Zhao Gang didn't even discuss it with Perrin, letting Perrin decide everything.

Ten million pounds! And almost without having to put in any effort!

With this kind of temptation, Zhao Gang didn't even frown.

If he didn't succeed, who would?

These off-field things had no impact on Zhao Gang at all.

Whether it was Zhao Gang, Farke, all the Norwich management and players, including all the fans, what they were most concerned about was the next home game against Manchester United in the Europa League!

Shiro's fanning the flames had directly maximized the effect of this game, which was already attracting a lot of attention!

Although Manchester United was temporarily in decline, they were still a giant with a solid foundation!

Shiro called them the unheard-of Manchester United team, and even hinted that David was a blind idiot.

This matter started because of David, and as the face of Manchester United's management, he would naturally not avoid the battle.

Otherwise, wouldn't Manchester United's reputation be ruined by him?

"Yes, I said that Norwich's players couldn't adapt to the pace of the Premier League, and I also said that Zhao's basic skills were poor.

I don't know what I said wrong? Why are you media outlets clinging to it?" David looked very calm when facing the media.

"What do you have to say about Shiro saying that there is only one team in Manchester and that he has never heard of Manchester United?"

"Who is Shiro?" David asked curiously.

"Oh... I guess he's a Norwich player, right? I want to know, before he made these strange remarks, did you know Shiro?"

The reporter shook his head. Even if he knew, he had to say he didn't.

"That's the fact. He's just a clown trying to use Manchester United's reputation to become famous. Now he's achieved his goal.

Also, let me say something about Zhao Gang. In the whole of Europe, no club knows Long Country players better than us.

We once brought in a Long Country player for our first team, and everyone knows the result.

Our youth academy has also cooperated with the Long Country Football Association many times. Long Country players' dedication deserves our study, and their potential is also huge, but they still have a long way to go in developing football. Their players really don't have the ability to adapt to Premier League-level games yet."

"Are you saying that Long Country players are not worthy of Manchester United, not worthy of the Premier League? Is the Championship, this second-tier league, the best stage for Long Country players?"

"That's just your own speculation. I never said that." David's meaningful smile at the last moment exposed his thoughts.

David's interview instantly ignited the anger of Long Country fans.

"Damn it, what's wrong with Long Country players? Huge potential? That's just saying their level is too low! These Brits can be sarcastic too?"

"Not worthy of the Premier League? What makes you so great? Just wait until Zhao Gang blows up Manchester United, and you'll be honest!"

"This guy earns so much Long Country money, and then he bites the hand that feeds him, saying we're not good enough! Can the Football Association be a little tougher in the future and end its cooperation with Manchester United?"

"Manchester United is so great, why are you playing in the Europa League? Your opponent is Norwich. Don't you know what level you're at? You still think you're superior?"

"Damn it, this guy, Zhao Gang has never slandered Manchester United. He even thanked Manchester United's youth training coaches and thanked Manchester United. But this guy is a master of sarcasm! He's really ungrateful."

"With Long Country's football level, it's right for people to say that. If you have the ability, stand up on your own. It's embarrassing."

"David's words are harsh, but they're the truth. Our players can only play in the Championship, alas!"

"Traitor, get lost! Go back to your daddy David's place!"

Even if David was telling the truth, the humiliation was obvious.

Long Country's players were worthless in his eyes, which made Zhao Gang, who was usually low-key, unable to bear it.

But as he said to Perrin, he wasn't good at trash-talking, unlike Shiro, who dared to make threats first.

So, this time, Zhao Gang didn't respond to David either.

He was waiting, waiting for the game in two days.

He would use all his energy to shut David up!

In the meeting room, Farke had been thinking of ways to motivate his players these past few days.

After all, all the Norwich fans and management were taking this game very seriously.

"According to the information I've received, although Manchester United attaches great importance to this Europa League game, they will still rotate their players significantly in order to secure a top-four finish in the league, and also because of our own limited strength.

Including Di Maria and Rooney's attacking line, they will be on the bench. So, we have a great opportunity to win this game!"

In terms of value, Manchester United's bench was several times stronger than Norwich's, and these Norwich players were already doing well to be in the rotation in the Premier League.

So Manchester United playing with their substitutes didn't mean they were giving up the game.

They simply thought that Norwich couldn't affect their advancement at all.

They could just play casually!

Hearing this news, the defenders led by Mendy breathed a sigh of relief.

Those two players' individual abilities might be as simple as crossing the road for them.

There was absolutely no one in Norwich who could defend them!

Even Premier League players had a hard time defending them, let alone the level of the Championship?

But they were also a little disappointed. Not being able to play against the Premier League's best front line was also a pity for them.

Soon, the first leg of the Europa League Round of 16 battle officially kicked off at Carrow Road.
