[Football] Turin's Most Devoted Lover

What is love? When he was little, Benedikt Bianchi was so bored that the question tormented him terribly. He curiously asked his mother, who was reading him a bedtime story. She thought for a moment, then told him, "When you see someone and your heart races, your face turns red, and everything they do draws your eyes to them; when you miss them, want to do things for them, and want to show them the best of yourself, then love has come into your life." Is that love? Benedikt nodded in innocent understanding and tucked his mother's words away in his heart. Ten years later, he stepped onto the grass at Allianz Stadium for the first time. The captain sent him an earth-shattering, jaw-dropping, absolutely incredible long pass, setting him up to score his first Serie A goal with ease. Benedikt's heart raced and his face turned red right there on the spot. He began thinking about the captain at all times and in all places. He wanted to play football with him for the rest of his life, and to score a hat trick in every match, showing the captain the very best of himself. This must be love. Benedikt pressed a hand to his chest. Love had finally come into his life. But as he played for longer and longer, more and more people made him feel that way. It was hard not to wonder if he had a few too many true loves. Benedikt fell into deep thought and counted them off on his fingers, only to discover they all had one thing in common: they were all handsome, talented midfielders. "Isn't this a little too unfaithful?" "But what's wrong with a striker falling in love with a midfielder?" Forgive him for being midfielder-sexual, living a carefree life and loving midfielders. Benedikt kissed the back of his new teammate's hand, dodged the slap aimed at him, and flashed a wicked smile. His reputation preceded him, for better or worse. He used to be a playboy; now he's a pervert. Benedikt never worried about it. 1. Just as the title says, the protagonist is a scumbag who's dated plenty of people. This isn't a one-on-one romance, so proceed with caution if that's not your thing. 2. The story is split 40% romance and 60% plot. The protagonist is of mixed German and Italian descent. He starts at Juventus, transfers once midway through, then returns to Juventus to retire. He plays for Germany and wins every major honor. 3. The setting is based on reality but partly fictionalized. The author is a casual fan, and match information comes mainly from Chinese sports news. The players will inevitably be out of character. 4. Since he's won every major honor, he'll definitely take some away from other players. Apologies in advance to everyone whose trophies get changed by this story. Theme: Hard work always pays off
