Football: The Calm Coach's World Cup Campaign from the Start

Xu Fei pulled strings to join Serbia's team and travel with them to the World Cup.

But Serbia managed only one point in two matches, leaving their chances of advancing almost nonexistent.

By a twist of fate, he was appointed head coach, and his Football Simulator System awakened.

Before every match, he could use the System to simulate the game.

And so, a composed tactical mastermind became the most distinctive sight on the World Cup field.

In the decisive match for qualification, his team broke through the Brazilian defense and celebrated wildly. He merely smiled and clapped.

When his team scored a last-minute winner, the fans went wild. He simply raised a fist.

When a decisive penalty came up, everyone held their breath and dared not watch. He calmly took a drink of water...

At last, even football fans couldn't take it anymore.

Fans: Xu Fei is just a lousy tactician. What does he know about the passion of the World Cup!

Fellow coaches: Xu Fei is as cool as a machine. The moment he steps onto the field, the other coaches have already lost.

Commentator: In victory, do not grow recklessly triumphant. In defeat, do not lose heart. One who has thunder in his chest yet a calm lake on his face is worthy of becoming a great general!
