Shen Yichen, a boy from Nanjing, whose father was the Jiangsu player who was "just one step away from joining the national team" - a leg was broken and his dream was shattered. When he was eight years old, he embarked on the road to Taishan Youth Training, carrying his father's unfulfilled obsessions and his own ambitions that he did not want to express.
He is not the strongest, nor is he the fastest, but he has something in his mind that others don't have - the pause of a few tenths of a second before every time he touches the ball is like talking to the ball itself.
From the bench of the Chinese Super League, to the spotlight of the European competition, to the pitch of the World Cup, every kick he plays is answering the same question for two people:
How far can a Chinese player go?
