The World Cup: The King Who Emerged from Blue Lock

At the 2014 World Cup, thirty-two teams competed for the ultimate prize: the World Cup trophy.

But among the thirty-two qualifying teams was a country that had never appeared before: Yanhuang.

Center forward: a Ronaldo template, the first man to emerge from Blue Lock, though goalkeepers don't score goals.

Second striker: an Owen template, a man as fast as the wind.

Twin fullbacks: templates of the Neville brothers.

Central midfielder: he's his own best template.

Defender: a martial monk.

Defensive midfielder: a barrier you'll never get past.

Cristiano Ronaldo: "The Yanhuang players have been my lifelong nightmare."

Ronaldo: "Thank goodness I retired early."

Messi: "I'm nothing compared to them."
