Football: Starting with a Last-Minute Winner Against Argentina in the 2030 World Cup

That year, in the World Cup knockout stage, Egypt was trailing Argentina 2–0. Salah was subbed off, and the whole world thought the match was over.

That year, a Liverpool academy kid came on as a substitute. Thirty-three minutes, two shots, and he sent the defending champions home.

That year, he wore Jota's number 20 shirt through extra time. After the match, he told the cameras, “This goal was for Jota.”

Salah: When he came on, I watched him from the touchline. He did what I had wanted to do.

Jota (written on a card before he died): Stay here. Don't run.

Henderson: He wore Jota's wristband, wore Jota's shirt, and played the match Jota never got to finish. The kid carried him onto the pitch.

Iraola: I watched his World Cup footage seventeen times, then left the vacant number on my desk, waiting for him to come back and claim it.

Palmer: He got lucky.

Lin Yuan: Luck is part of skill, too.

His name is Lin Yuan. A kid from Liverpool's academy. Egypt's number 7. Liverpool's number 20. A man who only speaks on the pitch.

Premier League defenders studied his footage for three days, but he still dribbled past them four times once he was on the pitch. When fans asked why he chose number 20, he touched the number on his chest and said, “Someone wrote a line on the inside of the shirt.”

Now he stands on the Anfield turf, waiting for the next person to doubt him.
