Lin Fan, a former national football midfielder who retired due to injury, has little talent, but he has always been full of love and heartache for Chinese football. When Lin Fan was looking through his grandfather's belongings, he found a worn-out football and accidentally activated the "Football Revival System." With the help of the system, Lin Fan started from a Chinese second-division team that was on the verge of disbandment, discovered young talents, and gradually developed them into world-class stars. He eventually led these young talents to the World Cup and created a historical counterattack.
This is a story about Chinese football, but it is not just about football. It is about persistence and compromise, about ideals and reality, about parting and reunion, and about those dreams that bloom and wither on the green field. The novel contains both true and delicate descriptions of football matches and the inside story of the operation of professional clubs; it is full of value collisions between ideals and reality, and filled with emotional entanglements that are constantly being resolved and confused. At the same time, the author has conducted a profound analysis and reflection on the current situation of Chinese football.
[Lin Hai Qing Qing] invites you to enter the world of Shanhai Club and witness this green legend full of sweat, tears and laughter.
