[Football] A Rossoneri Management Story

* Stardew Valley, but the AC Milan edition.

* The timeline begins in late 2000, near the end of the winter break.

[Football ensemble cast × Stardew Valley-style Milan management RPG]

You find an unexplained pixel-art game on your old phone: Red and Black Management Story.

As a 500-hour Stardew Valley player who firmly believes that tutorial messages are pointless, you casually skip the red warnings about “world□□ mapping” and “time being irreversible.” You choose the chairman role with the most starting funds, then, while the game is lagging, start both the “Red and Black Revival” sacrifice route and the “Make Milan Great Again” business route.

After all, an old farmer naturally wants it all!

* Disclaimers and warnings:

1. My writing is amateurish, even bad, so please go easy on me.

2. There are lots of memes and I have my own preferences. If you don’t like them, click the X in the top left and leave. The author loves all kinds of memes and won’t, and doesn’t want to, stop using them.

3. There’s a lot of second-person narration, because I originally just wanted to write an immersive story.

4. The author doesn’t know that much about football. There aren’t many match scenes, and I’m not very good at writing football. They don’t even show up until around the middle or later, since the protagonist can barely make out where the ball is at the start in pixel-art mode.

5. I started writing this purely because I wanted “Milan has money, Milan loves you” to become reality.

6. There are no warnings for specific content, because I might accidentally write something you find objectionable. If you can’t keep reading, please just quietly leave.

7. This isn’t a football-focused match story. It’s more about the player protagonist’s changing attitude toward AC Milan as its chairman, and the bonds they form. In my opinion, the most important thing for a player is the people.

Reader’s guide:

1. At first, the protagonist genuinely believes this is a game.

2. There’s no explicit pairing in the main story. It mainly focuses on the football ensemble cast and the Milan family (Italian edition).

3. The extras will have all kinds of romantic storylines~

4. Historical regrets will be changed, but this isn’t a cure-all where everyone stays and every match is won. Milan will lose. Still, it’s a feel-good story, and maybe even a little too satisfying.
