Liu Kai, a grassroots coach from Huaguo, starts out at a dilapidated school and tempers raw talent with an iron will. Blacklisted by crooked referees and stifled by the system, he never loses heart. He heads to Europe and rises from humble beginnings to become the architect of a Manchester United dynasty. In the end, he sets aside the highest honors and leads the national team past its constraints to compete in the World Cup. This is an epic tale of a coach's growth, and a clash and redemption of Eastern and Western footballing faith.
