From the darling of the Red Army to the king of Manchester City, my legend is written by me!
The 38-year-old Fang Biao ushered in the national team's swan song at the World Cup, but his thoughts drifted back to the starting point of the legend - Istanbul in 2005, when the 17-year-old Chinese boy came on as a substitute, wearing Liverpool No. 66, And experienced the miracle night of the Champions League.
He is the "meteor from the sky" at Anfield, and the "Oriental Blade" that defeated Türkiye and Germany in the World Youth Championship in the Netherlands. He conquered Europe and won the Golden Ball, but he also moved to Manchester City amidst the ruthlessness of capital, bearing billions of pounds of expectations and infamy.
He led the National Olympics to create history in the Beijing Olympics, but lost the gold medal and became the "King of Sanya"; he witnessed the injustice suffered by his parent team Wuhan Optics Valley and quit angrily. Although he tried his best to mediate, he only got the cruel ending of negative points and relegation...
But he never fell!
From the miracle night in Istanbul to the top of the Champions League in Athens; from the glory of the Premier League Golden Boot to the regret of the Olympic runner-up; from Liverpool's loyal No. 66 To Manchester City's leader No. 10... Fang Biao's every step is writing the most passionate epic of Chinese football.
This is his story: a legend about loyalty and betrayal, glory and trough, personal heroism and love for family and country.
See how Fang Biao rises from the shadow of being forced to leave the team and proves the power of the East on the world stage!
