Seeing these 2 new system missions, at first, Sam was stunned but then he grinned. 'Hell yeah!' He celebrated in his mind.
Any mission that gave him the chance to get a new legendary inheritance was sothing that Sam embraced with gusto. Afterall, his elastico and spatial awareness skills were already paying in dividends.
These 2 skills showed him the importance of legendary inheritances.
But Sam did not let the glamor get to his head though, by now, he could already tell that the system was using a carrot and stick thod with him.
A legendary inheritance was a once in a lifeti opportunity for professional football players. It was so rare that it was impossible for upcoming football players to get it, the only way to get one was to beco a legend of the ga and create one. And that was no easy endeavor.
For Sam to get easy access to them like this was a gift, a privilege.
This did not an getting them would be easy though.
The first mission to get another legendary inheritance that Sam had pending was the mission to get at least 30 goal contributions this season.
At first, looking at it, it seed easy but in truth, it was incredibly hard.
Not only was Sam plying his trade in the premier league, the toughest league in the world, but which 19-year-old playing in the top 5 European leagues could confidently claim of getting 30 goal contributions in a season?
None at the mont. This showed the difficulty of the mission that Sam had; it was a mission for freaks.
As for the second one, forcing the Nigerian coach to build around him? This was even more ridiculous than the first.
The Nigerian national team was a team fielding big nas like Victor Osimhen who still had a contract with Napoli, Victor Boniface of Bayer Lekerkusen, Ademola Lookman of Atalanta, amongst other elite players.
It was going to be an uphill task for Sam to upstage all these world beaters to present the case that he was the best player in the national team.
Sam didn't shirk away from the challenge though, rather, he grinned. 'The system is getting to know better these days, hehe'.
'These are exactly the types of missions that I love most'.
'Impossible missions, but to ,' he grinned. 'Impossible is nothing!'
Talking of legendary inheritances, after getting back to his new ho in Fulham, Sam decided to check his player status again with his system. But this ti, he focused on a particular aspect, his trump cards.
The things that made him Samuel Moses, the Nigerian Zidane.

This ti, Sam focused on his ability cards.
Sam's passive skill, Stalwart was the perfect representative of his current ability. He was a solid attacking midfielder that could be trusted to perform every ga, he had the skills to do it and the ntality to back it up.
But despite all these, his skills, his attributes, there were certain trump cards that Sam only use in situations where it was absolutely needed, his ability cards.
At the mont, he only had 3 ability cards but every single one of them was lethal enough to empower him to turn a ga around singlehandedly.
He still vividly rembered the first ti he made use of an ability card against Manchester City in the FIFA Club World Cup final. Against Manchester City, with the Shoot it like Lewy ability card, he scored a hattrick against the world-beating Manchester team.
With the Thread it like KDB and Bend it like Beckham ability cards, he had perford similar miracles in other gas already.
But Sam didn't want to use them carelessly. Afterall, they were his trump cards.
"No other player in the world has a privilege like this," his eyes glead as he whispered. "If I am to have any chance at achieving my ambitious goal for this season, the turning point lies in using my ability cards wisely".
"Which ga to use them, and what ti".
"I need to be wise".
Sam ended the day with that consciousness in mind. Of course, once the thought of football left his head, he spent the ti with his girlfriend cuddling.
Life without Kayla and life with her was so different, Sam loved life now better than it was before.
That night, Coach Marco Silva sent the fixture of the next ga to his players.
(EFL Cup:)
(Preston – Fulham)
(Date: 17th September, 2024)
Sam and his teammates had just 2 days to rest and prepare for their next ga in Preston.
