Seven days before the 2026 World Cup kicks off, Argentina still hasn't announced its final squad.
But nobody knows that the vacant spot on Argentina's final roster is really waiting for a 16-year-old Chinese-Argentine boy sitting on the Boca U20 bench.
In the youth derby, Boca are trailing 2–0.
The head coach sneers, “Su, you're so small. You'll get crushed if you go out there.”
Su Chen calmly gets to his feet. “Wait ten more minutes and this match will be beyond saving.”
One second after he takes the field.
[Green Pitch Drop System activated!]
Every pass, tackle, shot, and win gives him a chance to make an opponent drop an attribute orb!
+1 Passing, +1 Speed, +1 Vision, +1 Tempo Control!
No magic, no supernatural skills.
Just overwhelming basic attributes and the sheer football IQ to treat the pitch like a chessboard!
With his first touch, Su Chen sends a curled through ball that splits River Plate's three lines.
Messi stands up in the box. “You don't hit a pass like that by accident.”
Scaloni closes the report. “The roster can be submitted. The last name is Su Chen.”
When 16-year-old Su Chen joins Argentina's national team, the whole world goes crazy.
Ronaldo watches the news and falls silent for a moment. “Has Argentina found the next Messi?”
Mbappe frowns. “He's only 16? Then why does he pass like he's directing the entire pitch?”
Messi simply hands Su Chen the ball. “Are you ready? Let's go to the World Cup together.”
Su Chen only looks at the System screen, his voice calm.
“The World Cup?”
“From today on, I'm in control.”
After reading a few chapters, the protagonist, like other commenters, seems like a robot, lacking emotion. Another issue is the substitution of the head coach. The head coach should be the most important person; if the stamina stats show only 19%, the coach should be substituted. In real matches, insufficient stamina can be fatal to the team.
Some sports articles are just a sham, actually a harem. Some only knew the anecdotes of the stadium like the back of their hand. Some of them, while having novel ideas, have overpowered cheat codes. But they managed to show emotion. He has the passion he displays on the court! There's a roaring passion! Here, I only saw ice-cold people, devoid of love, hate, joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, like sophisticated robots.
Good history, good history, hahahahahahaha
