He has a Football Manager System that lets him see every player's potential ratings, but at first his own tactical knowledge is a measly 2.
In his previous life, he was a devoted fan of the Chinese national team and an experienced Football Manager player who drowned while saving someone. By a twist of fate, he is reborn in 2012. Starting in England's fifth tier, he uses the System's "God-Tier Formation" to lead York City to a miraculous championship, and casually raises China's youth development rating from 50 to 150.
Within three years, he returns to China and sweeps the China League One, Chinese Super League, and AFC Champions League titles, becoming famous across Asia. After taking over the national team, he dominates Asian football, only to be eliminated in the Round of 32 at the 2018 World Cup and unceremoniously shown the door, still full of regrets.
He heads back to England and takes charge of Tottenham Hotspur, building a dynasty over seven years: four Champions League titles and six Premier League titles. Just as the footballing world is left in awe, he makes a shocking decision: to return to the Chinese national team.
This time, armed with the most advanced tactical ideas, top-tier coaching experience, and the FM System that has accompanied him all along, he will challenge for football's highest honor.
From gamer to world champion, he takes twenty years to prove that Chinese football can stand at the pinnacle of the world.
