Chen Feng was the most inconspicuous assistant coach on a professional team.
When he refused to let an injured player risk going back on the field, the club kicked him out. After returning to his hometown, the only place willing to hire him was an ordinary high school.
The salary was 2,800 yuan. The school team had only seven players, no goalkeeper, and a rundown training ground. In seven days, they would face an evaluation that could disband the team.
Just as Chen Feng was preparing to give it one last shot, the Coach Growth System unexpectedly activated.
It wouldn't make players stronger out of nowhere or hand him victories. It would only help Chen Feng see the position each player was truly suited for, while steadily improving his coaching skills.
And so, unwanted problem players became midfield anchors, a fat student everyone mocked became a goalkeeper, a boy cut from the track team became a speedy winger, and an ordinary student who had spent years on the bench became the brains of the team.
From a school team on the verge of disbandment, to the provincial youth team, professional clubs, national youth teams, and finally the senior national team.
While others won championships with star players and powerhouse lineups, Chen Feng made a specialty of taking overlooked players to the biggest stage of all.
Years later, the final whistle blew in the World Cup final.
China lifted the World Cup, and people all over the world were shouting Chen Feng's name.
The PE director who had first invited him to the school stared at the TV, completely speechless.
“I only asked you to coach a school team...”
“How did you turn the national team into world champions?”
