Reborn to Lead China’s National Team to the World Cup

[Football + coming of age + light sci-fi]

At the scene of the national team’s devastating defeat in 2024, Xiaowei triggers a transmigration ban by blurting out, “China will win the World Cup in the future.” When the System malfunctions, he plunges into an unknown time and place. Hearing that “Li Weiqiang has been injured,” he realizes that the victim bears an uncanny resemblance to his father, whose right leg is disabled and who hates football. Xiaowei rushes over to confirm it, only to be forcibly ejected.

When he wakes up again, Xiaowei’s identity changes repeatedly: first a 15-year-old youth academy player, then the head coach of a club. With no experience, his debut press conference is a disaster, and the players give him the cold shoulder. To return to his original time, he must lead the national team to victory.

With support from the technical department on one side and the rival Wentai Group’s plots against him on the other, and with team conflicts and a lost derby adding to his troubles, can Xiaowei turn things around? The secret past between President Zhao and football, along with the truth about his father’s injury that his father refuses to discuss, makes this adventure through time all the more suspenseful.
