"Call me Dad" may be an eternal desire etched into the genes of the people of China.
But usually, you have to do something worthy of respect before the people around you will willingly give you such an honored title.
After crossing over to England, Zhang Tiezhu's gift was held back by his inability to speak that difficult language. Then, during a youth football match, all his divine powers were unleashed.
The moment the whistle blew, the kid who had been rolling in the dirt like a mud-covered monkey sprang to his feet and flung away the weapon that had pelted him throughout the match.
He stood with his hands on his hips in front of the scoreboard, which showed two zeros. He glared at his teammates, who were out of position, blocking his view, giving the opponents a corner, and almost scoring an own goal, then roared:
"Damn it, all of you, call me Dad!"
"Dad!"
His teammates shouted in unison, tears in their eyes, full of respect and gratitude.
The key finally fit the genetic lock, and Zhang Tiezhu's energy channels opened in an instant. From then on, he took the path of a goalkeeping god who could slay gods and Buddhas alike.
With the line, "I'm your old man. How could I not know what you're going to do?" he never missed in a penalty shootout throughout his career, earning the goal line a new name: "Zhang Tiezhu, the Impassable Wall." He won the title of Penalty God.
With the line, "Hey, England, open up! Daddy's home!" he earned Chelsea a Champions League place at the age of nineteen by keeping a clean sheet in every match, snatched the title right out of Real Madrid's hands at their peak, and kicked open the door to the England national team.
With the line, "I'll stand right here and see who can't tell the big daddy from the little one," he crushed the dressing-room drama with an iron fist, sparing England's coach the agony of watching nine princes fight for the throne...
He was wild, so wildly over the top. He drove his opponents mad with frustration and made his teammates nervous.
But he had the skill and the luck. Like a real wall, once Zhang Tiezhu took his place on the goal line, you knew...
With Dad here, we've got this!
