[Football] The Genius Act

In 2002, Zephir was kicked out of Genk's youth academy for being too difficult to manage. No one could have guessed how successful this Walloon boy would become. At first, no youth academy was willing to take him. "A lone wolf." "A rebel." "A guy who lets his talent go to his head." "Good for nothing but shooting." "He'll learn the hard way someday." That's what everyone who watched him in training matches said. If no youth academy wanted him, then he'd start playing for whatever club would take him. It was their loss if they didn't want him. He never wasted time beating himself up. From Portugal's second division to the Belgian First Division, then to the Dutch Eredivisie. His talent and hard work outweighed every flaw. When his journey took him to Italy, where he pulled on the red-and-black shirt and led a once-glorious but fallen giant back to the top of Europe… No one dared call him "good for nothing" anymore. He had crushed them all beneath his feet. "I've met plenty of geniuses along the way, but they all called me a genius." 1. The timeline is 2014-2018 (tentative). A short story of a few hundred thousand characters, mostly everyday life. It's the result of a bet with my friend Maomi. She'll write a chapter, then I'll write one. 2. In the story, the protagonist stays at AC Milan and doesn't transfer. He plays for Belgium internationally. He has the usual genius's flaws, meaning he's arrogant and independent, and he doesn't particularly like training. 3. The pairing is Filippo Inzaghi (set). Let's get legendary coach Inzaghi some trophies. ( ) 4. The protagonist wins every possible honor in four years, takes four consecutive Champions League titles, and sweeps up every European Championship and World Cup trophy. I'm moving all the trophies around, so apologies in advance. Theme: Hard work is the foundation of everything
