Soccer: The Fated King

November 9, 2013, Tianhe Stadium, Guangzhou.

In the final minute of the AFC Champions League final, 17-year-old Lin Feng was sent onto the pitch by Marcello Lippi.

He touched the ball once, and the match was over. Tens of thousands erupted in celebration, but no one noticed the boy who had played for just 60 seconds.

But he knew

Sixty seconds earlier, he had been a failure who'd wasted half his life.

Sixty seconds later, he had activated the football skills System.

[System Notice: This System is built around training. There are no shortcuts, only the resonance of sweat and talent.]

From a substitute nobody wanted to the core of a team that won the AFC Champions League back-to-back.

From an Asian face doubted by the Premier League to the new god of Milan.

From Asia's first Ballon d'Or winner to the night he lifted the World Cup

The whole world asked: How did he do it?

Only he knew:

That year at Tianhe, he played for just one minute.

But that year, he was 17.

This time, he wanted more than just the Ballon d'Or.

He wanted to take those people somewhere they'd never been before.
