Chapter 506: Team Promotional Event I

{Another shot! It goes in!}

{Away and beyond, no catching them now!}

{They’re trampling all over an opponent that has not been up to par today!}

{Surely now they have this one in the bag!} the commentator shouted as Mckennie ran out to the sidelines with his arms stretched out wide.

The whole team went to join him in celebration, not caring much for the Crotone players who were feeling more down than ever.

The Crotone team were already defeated mentally and it was clear after the match continued.

With no more pressure in the game, Pirlo started taking off essential players so that they could rest and avoid injury risks.

Jason was among the players subbed off. He had played the full 90 minutes against Oporto, and his match load was already considered heavy.

Players that would typically not get a run out were brought onto the pitch, and the match continued.

The players, who were getting a rare chance, got on the pitch with their blood boiling and ready to do their best to impress the manager.

However, the scores of the game remained the same until the final whistle, with Uventus bagging their three points easily.

Jason also finally won his first Man-Of-The-Match award in Serie A, while Ronaldo rued his missed hat-trick.

He didn’t take it to heart, though, and even joked about it.

It was clear that he really wanted to have scored a hat-trick, but Pirlo had taken him out the same time he took off Jason, so he could only settle with the brace he had managed to achieve.

At the Continassa, the Uventus were hard at training and were in excited moods after their rest day.

The morale at the training camp was high, and it was clear that things had been going very well for them lately.

Apart from their loss against Napoli two matches ago, they had been doing well everywhere else.

Their performances had been largely consistent.

They were hot on the tail of the league leaders.

After already winning one domestic cup, they had advanced to the final of another, and they were almost guaranteed passage to the next round of the Champions League.

How could their morale not be high?

The players were training with smiles on their face despite the cold weather and a some groups of players were laughing as they joked around on the training ground.

Soon, some staff members came to call some players aside, and Jason was among the players to be called aside.

The players were called aside for two reasons.

The first one was to give Jason two FIFA Ultimate Team cards, one of which was a man-of-the-match card and the second a team-of-the-week card.

Jason had received a few of them and took pictures with them before setting them aside and focusing on the second reason why they had been called.

Apparently, the team wanted to shoot some promotional content, and the scene that had been agreed to be used was one of the players playing football games.

It was both for the team and a game company partnered with Uventus.

Originally, it was planned to be a pre-recorded shoot, but the decision was later changed, and it was agreed to be done live on YouTube, giving it the feel of an e-sports competition.

The live stream would show the player’s harmony, chemistry, and competitiveness.

It would be a 4 v 4, and the players would be sectioned into four teams.

A quick introduction of how the whole event was supposed to go followed.

While the players were being briefed, the games were being set up in one of the resting rooms at the training center.

The whole process, from the players entering the room to picking their own teammates, was scheduled to be live-streamed, and the Uventus fans and users of the game company that Uventus was partnered with were already informed about the live-stream.

Jason was surprised that something as big as this was brought up impromptu but soon understood that it was part of the plan to make the event feel as realistic as possible.

Once everything was ready, the players soon began moving, and at that moment, the live stream started.

Since it was meant to be realistic, there wouldn’t be a host or commentator to interfere, and the players were supposed to carry the whole event.

Luckily, most players at Uventus had enough star power that the fans would willingly sit around and watch them clumsily play the games.

However, even though there wouldn’t be a host to direct the live stream, someone would give the major directives and be allowed to appear on camera.

The players made it to the gaming room without issue, and viewers were already pouring in at this point.

“So you guys have to separate into four teams to battle it out for an all-paid trip through three countries in Asia,”

‘Nobody told me there was a prize?’ Jason wondered when the person from the gaming company, CONAMI, told them more essential details that should have been mentioned earlier.

To be fair, a trip was redundant as most of the people in this room were being paid enough to go on a trip around the world should they wish to.

The trip would definitely include some memorable events that would not be divulged now, but again, those kinds of things wouldn’t really matter to people like the Uventus players, who had weekly salaries in the thousands and hundreds of thousands.

It was a gimmick that was supposed to interest the fans.

Jason wouldn’t turn down a free trip to Asia, though.

As he expected, the other players didn’t show any overly enthusiastic reactions to this news either; they were more preoccupied with selecting their teammates.

Despite not caring much for the prize to be won, they weren’t going to allow themselves to be whooped by a teammate on a live stream.

Jason first grabbed Ronaldo, who was the nearest, and asked him,

“After all those promotional events for new football games, you should know how to play this thing well enough, right?”
