The story takes place in the contemporary city of Qingzhou, a third-tier city that is not top-notch developed but has a strong sports atmosphere. The core revolves around "Qingzhou Middle School" (Qingzhou Middle School is a local key high school with outstanding cultural courses, but it has long been in the middle of the pack in sports, especially football, which is the school's "weak section". It has been at the bottom of the municipal high school student football league all year round, and was even almost disqualified due to poor performance).
The sports ecology of Qingzhou City is "polarized": Basketball and track and field are traditional advantageous sports, with complete training systems, corporate sponsorships and public attention. The basketball leagues of local high schools and colleges have high bonuses and media coverage every year; while football projects are relatively lonely, except for a few professional sports high schools. Ordinary high school football teams are all "amateur level" and lack professional coaches and systematic training venues. Even training funds must be raised by students themselves. The municipal high school student football league has received very little attention and has very few sponsors. The favorites to win the championship are always monopolized by Qingzhou Sports Middle School, almost forming a "one-family-dominated" pattern.
