The writing is actually quite good; at least it's not all the old-fashioned endless comebacks. It does a crushing victory when necessary. However, it's missing one person because the protagonist's timeline is before the Russia World Cup. At that time, Liverpool's midfield attacking midfield also had an attacking core, namely Coutinho. Don't let anyone criticize him as some trashy, invisible man.
A very good football novel. The best part is that the lead is consistently achieved when it's due. Unlike some other novels where the protagonist is constantly down 0-2 or 0-3, only to have the team come back and win, treating us like fools. This one is excellent.
It's very well written, with virtually no major obstacles. While it's not the most enjoyable kind of football novel I've read, there's nothing particularly vulgar. There's no harem element either, which is exactly what I like; I don't want the male lead to be a womanizer. The pacing is also excellent—not too fast, not too slow.
A rare gem of a football story, please update soon!!! I suggest the author add a few female leads to satisfy my wishful thinking 😄
Brilliant! Exciting! Liverpool fans are ecstatic.
I've read 150 chapters so far, and aside from minor flaws like the author sometimes forgetting some small settings from earlier chapters, there aren't any major problems, which is quite rare. The game's pace was well-balanced and comfortable.
I don't know anything about football, but I was completely engrossed in reading it! It's so good! I even made a point of researching Liverpool's coach, players like Mane, and technical terms like hat-trick and backheel strike because of this book. I also learned about famous commentators' evaluations. It's so interesting!
This is an excellent football novel, arguably the best alongside "Real Madrid Becomes the King of Football." The author has a unique understanding of football knowledge and tactics. The content touches on the locker room but also on family bonds, making it a very heartwarming and enjoyable read.
This autobiographical novel, written by Zhang Chengdong, a player from humble beginnings, is filled with passion and fearlessness, seemingly transporting readers to the thrilling World Cup arena. "That Seventeen-Year-Old, I Dominated the World Cup in Spain" not only records the player's growth and his football dreams but also showcases the courage and wisdom of a young man fighting against fate…
Five stars for encouragement. Liverpool fans would probably give it a high score, though I don't support the team myself, so I'll just have a taste. What I personally liked was that it doesn't have a harem element, which might be a downside for some, as sports novels often include a lot of gossip, but I'm just here for the competition. Also, the protagonist is the kind of person you'd like.
