The team bus hummed, carrying the Aston Villa squad towards Brighton's Amex Stadium.

Leon Fischer sat by the window, the coastal landscape flashing by, his mind buzzing with a delicious mix of anticipation and secret excitement.

Neymar Jr.'s 'Flair Dribbling' skill, granted by the 'Help System', was ready for action.

Just before they boarded the bus, Coach Emery had pulled Alex Turner (Current: 81) aside.

"Alex, you've been phenomenal, but you played a full ninety minutes against Tottenham. You'll be on the bench today. Rest. Be ready if we need you."

Alex looked a little disappointed but nodded, understanding. "Understood, Coach. I'll be ready."

Leon gave Alex a reassuring pat on the back. "Your time will come, mate. You just watch me today. I've got something special planned." Alex looked intrigued, a small smile touching his lips.

As they approached the stadium, the atmosphere grew thick with the chants of Brighton fans. The Amex, Leon knew, was a compact stadium, renowned for its vociferous support. This was a true away day test.

In the dressing room, the mood was focused. Coach Emery went over the tactics, emphasizing control in midfield and exploiting Brighton's attacking spaces.

"Brighton are fluid, dynamic," he warned. "But they leave gaps. We must be clinical. Leon, your creativity will be crucial."

Just before they walked out, Leon felt a faint, almost imperceptible surge of energy. Neymar's 'Flair Dribbling' was active. He felt a lightness in his feet, a spark of pure audacity in his mind.

As they stepped onto the pitch, the roar of the crowd enveloped them. The Brighton fans were loud, their cheers battling against the smaller but determined contingent of Villa supporters.

KICKOFF!

Brighton immediately imposed their fluid, passing game. Leon found himself in a fierce midfield battle, using his 'sight' to anticipate Brighton's intricate passes. He saw a 'ghosted arc' from Groß's foot, a clever through ball.

Leon lunged, intercepting, but his momentum carried him slightly off balance.

Brighton start brightly! Their passing is crisp! Leon Fischer with the interception, but it's a tight one!"

Suddenly, Kaoru Mitoma (Current: 86) received the ball on the left wing.

Leon's 'sight' flared. He saw the 'quick body feint' and 'sharp cut inside' projections.

Mitoma burst past Matty Cash (Potential: 86, Current: 83), leaving him flat-footed.

He dribbled into the box, his movements a blur of speed and precision. Leon saw the 'leg-and-ball' projection – a powerful shot aimed for the far corner. He screamed a warning, but it was too late.

WHISSHH! BOOM!

Mitoma unleashed a lightning-fast shot that rocketed past Emiliano Martínez (Current: 85).

GOOOAL! Brighton 1 - Aston Villa 0!

The Amex erupted! Brighton had scored early, just ten minutes in. Leon felt a pang of frustration. Mitoma was simply too quick, too skillful.

Villa, stung by the early goal, pushed for an equalizer. Leon, fueled by Neymar's 'Flair Dribbling', felt a surge of audacious confidence.

He received the ball in midfield from Douglas Luiz (Current: 85). A Brighton midfielder, Billy Gilmour (Potential: 86, Current: 82), rushed to press him, his 'ghosted outstretched leg' indicating an incoming tackle.

Leon, instead of a simple pass, pulled off a dazzling move.

With a quick 'flick' of his boot, he executed a perfect 'rainbow flick' over Gilmour's head, catching the midfielder completely by surprise. Gilmour stared, bewildered, as the ball sailed over him, landing perfectly back at Leon's feet.

OHHHH!

A collective gasp rippled through the stadium, followed by murmurs of astonishment. Even some Brighton fans couldn't help but react.

"Did you see that?! A rainbow flick! From Leon Fischer! Oh, that's audacious! He just put Gilmour on a highlight reel!"

Leon grinned, a surge of pure joy. Neymar's skill felt incredible, almost effortless. He surged forward, seeing another Brighton defender, Pervis Estupiñán (Potential: 87, Current: 85), closing him down. Leon pulled off a quick 'elastico', a mesmerizing blur of footwork that left Estupiñán clutching at air. WHOOSH! He was through!

"He's done it again! Fischer dancing through the Brighton defense! This is sensational dribbling!"

Leon was now in Brighton's box, looking for a shot, but Lewis Dunk (Current: 85) was a formidable presence. Leon saw the 'leg-and-ball' projection from Dunk, indicating an almost impossible block.

Leon decided against the shot. Instead, he pulled off a quick 'fake shot' followed by a 'backheel pass' to Ollie Watkins (Current: 86), who had made a clever run.

Watkins, presented with a clear chance, slammed the ball home!

GOOOAL! Brighton 1 - Aston Villa 1!

Villa Park, though miles away, would have erupted. The small contingent of Villa fans at the Amex went wild. Leon ran to celebrate with Watkins.

This 'Flair Dribbling' was a game-changer!

The game continued at a frantic pace. Leon was a constant menace, combining his predictive 'sight' with dazzling tricks.

He used a 'roulette' to spin away from two midfielders, created space, and hit a pinpoint through ball to John McGinn (Current: 84), who fired just wide.

Around the 35th minute, Villa took the lead. Leon received the ball in midfield. He saw the 'ghosted shift' from Brighton's defense, a narrow path opening up.

He hit a sublime, curling pass that sliced through the lines, landing perfectly at the feet of Leon Bailey (Current: 84). Bailey, with a burst of pace, fired it past the goalkeeper.

GOOOAL! Brighton 1 - Aston Villa 2!

Villa were flying! Leon celebrated, his 'Current: 84' now pulsating with unstoppable energy.

This was so much fun!

Just before halftime, Leon had a moment of pure brilliance. He received the ball on the edge of Brighton's box.

He saw a complex web of 'outstretched legs' from defenders, 'glove' projections from the goalkeeper. No clear shot.

So, Leon decided to have some fun.

He pulled off a 'sombrero flick', scooping the ball over the head of a bewildered Brighton defender, then letting it drop at his feet on the other side. He then dribbled past another defender with a quick 'nutmeg' (sending the ball through his legs). He was completely free, one-on-one with the goalkeeper, Jason Steele (Potential: 86, Current: 84).

He saw the 'glove' projection from Steele, indicating he was anticipating a shot to the near post. Leon decided to be cheeky. He feigned a powerful shot, drawing Steele to one side, then, with a delicate touch, he gently passed the ball around Steele, rolling it towards the open net.

It was a beautiful, arrogant, utterly delightful piece of skill.

The ball rolled towards the goal. It looked like a certain goal. But then, to Leon's utter disbelief, the ball slowed, just slightly, and hit the very outside of the post, trickling harmlessly wide!

OH MY WORD! The crowd gasped.

Leon stared, dumbfounded. He'd passed the keeper! He'd scored! But it had hit the post! He burst out laughing. It was such a Leon thing to happen.

So much flair, so much skill, and then… the universe just decided to tease him.

The first half ended 2-1 to Villa. Leon walked off the pitch, exhausted but beaming. He hadn't scored from that cheeky effort, but he'd put on a show. His 'Current: 92' felt completely validated.

The second half began with Brighton pushing for an equalizer, but Leon's dazzling dribbling continued to cause chaos.

He combined his 'sight' with the 'Flair Dribbling', weaving through challenges, creating space for his teammates. He hit a no-look pass to Ollie Watkins (Current: 86), setting him up for a shot that forced a brilliant save from Steele.

Around the 70th minute, Villa sealed the win.

Leon received the ball in midfield, saw a 'ghosted arc' of a long, diagonal pass, and executed it perfectly, sending Ollie Watkins (Current: 86) through on goal. Watkins made no mistake this time, burying it past Steele.

GOOOAL! Brighton 1 - Aston Villa 3!

Villa had won 3-1! Leon was ecstatic. He had put on a show, showcasing his incredible abilities.

He hadn't scored that second goal, but his performance, combining his 'sight' with Neymar's 'Flair Dribbling', had been truly unforgettable.

As he walked off the pitch, the sound of the Villa fans cheering his name, Leon knew this was just the beginning of truly unlocking his unique gifts.
