That single missed shot was an eternal pain from the previous life. When I opened my eyes again, amid the howling wind, I could see the noisy classroom when I was sixteen.
Lin Fan, an amateur player whose dreams were crushed by injuries and reality, was reborn with endless regrets and returned to 2002, the summer when Chinese football entered the World Cup for the first time and national enthusiasm was ignited.
In his body is the mature soul of a thirty-year-old loser and a thorough understanding of world football in the next fifteen years; under his feet are his youthful and intact legs. Those legendary skills that could only be worshiped in videos and those advanced tactics that subverted the times have now become treasures within his reach.
This time, he should take the fateful corner kick!
From the earth-shattering success in the class friendly match, to the outstanding performance of the National Youth League; from the competition for the Golden Boot in the domestic league, to the critical savior in the World Cup qualifiers; from the thorny road to land in European football, to the domination of the world by conquering the top of the Champions League...
He will use his "goal intelligence" that transcends the times to crush all opponents, defeat all doubts, make up for all the regrets in his previous life - his father's sighs, his mother's worries, his own unwillingness... And personally forge a legendary road belonging to the Eastern superstar.
This is a passionate story of starting from the bench, conquering the world step by step, and reaching the top of the green.
