I specifically looked it up, and a lot of the things the author wrote about are true. This book can be read like sports gossip; it's good and I enjoy it. It's finally finished! I finished it in one day and I'm still craving more. I need a new book coming out soon! 😠😠😠😠
This is the best book about Chinese football, and not just Chinese football, but top-tier football fiction. The author's writing is excellent, the plot flows smoothly, and it's not far-fetched. It fundamentally changes Chinese football; it's truly well-written. I hope the author updates more often. It's so much better than those 9-point-rated football novels.
I read 170,000 words in one go, up to the latest chapter. I've never read a novel about the Chinese national football team before, except for "Do You Care If I Play Football?", Which is over ten years old. Keep up the good work, author! It's getting interesting.
This is truly an excellent football novel. It's arguably the best football novel I've read in the last two years. It's incredibly enjoyable to read. Especially since most of the content focuses on Chinese football, unlike other books that jump straight to Europe and avoid mentioning Chinese football.
This is the only book I've ever read that depicts football during the Jia A and Jia B leagues. It's surprisingly well-written, very realistic, insightful, and something to be proud of. Many of the problems that plagued Chinese football when it first became professional are explained. Keep up the good work, author! I want to read this book for a long, long time.
I discovered this book on my way to work by bus this morning, and I've almost finished it before I even get off work. It's really addictive. Although I initially wondered if there were too many extraneous plot points, I was relieved after reading the author's explanation. That's right. These aren't just characters created by the author; they're vivid, flesh-and-blood figures.
Keep it up, author! Five stars! Please finish writing it! 🥺🥺🥺 I'll always support you!
It's great, really great. Some people might find the setup in the first few dozen chapters a bit bland, but the details of the later matches are really good. The author is quite good at describing the match process indirectly, giving me a sense of being there, like I was watching a live commentary. I hope the author will persevere. Hope will always come. Whether it's your book or the national football team, there will be a day when they shine.
A masterpiece of football novels; thank you to the author for bringing back old memories for me.
This is really well written. The darkness is slowly receding, and the sun will always rise. I hope future generations will have a good environment to play football.
