Name: [Football] Milan Deserves It
Author: Roasted Chestnuts in Winter

Synopsis

Football and Milan were one and the same to Matt. Football was Milan, and Milan was football. He loved football as much as he loved Milan.

Maldini, Shevchenko, Gattuso, Inzaghi, Nesta, Pirlo, Kaka… One shining name after another graced the San Siro, yet Matt had never seen them in person, or even on a livestream. He’d started watching football too late!

He wasn’t a diehard fan, so missing Milan’s dynasty only left him with a little regret.

Now he had the chance to witness it firsthand. No, to go one step further. Maybe I can’t be part of Milan’s dynasty, but I’d be more than happy to help lift it to even greater heights.

In short, Matteo Roland arrived at the AC Milan he’d always loved on March 15, 2000.

Twenty-five years later, after finally stepping down as chairman, Matt looked back on his quarter-century at Milan and realized that over the years, he’d become a legend in the club’s history!

Milan, Milan, solo con te. Milan, Milan, sempre per te!

P.S.

1. The protagonist is Matteo Roland, called Matt in the story.

2. Milan from around 2000 to 2007. Give Maldini a good boss, not especially rich, but full of love.

3. The pairing is with Maldini, but the romance is limited.

4. I’m not a professional, just a regular football fan. I’ll try to get the details right, so please forgive any mistakes. Apologies in advance for changes to some players’ transfers and trophy awards.

5. Barcelona and Inter fans, stay away.

Personal Reading Log

A record of what I'm reading as of 10/20. I'm really into soccer novels right now, haha, so I'm making a note of it. I really don't understand Jinjiang's rating system. So frustrating.

Soccer Stories, Milan Only

Stories about Milan, or where the main character spends a long time in Milan. I prefer no-couple stories and BG. I can’t stand stories where Maldini is married with kids, then gets divorced for no reason...

Following an ongoing story is like growing a little sprout: you’re afraid it won’t grow up, and even more afraid it’ll die on you. (Sad.) Please support ongoing stories! There are AI-written stories on Jinjiang now, so everyone should be careful…

I’ve recently gotten into soccer stories, so I’m compiling the ones I remember. I like career-focused plots and don’t care for really long stories. I let ongoing ones build up, but I might forget about them while I wait.

My Favorite Football or Racing Stories

Mostly BL and male-lead novels with no romance. There may be some straight romance too. The ratings are based entirely on my personal taste, and are strict and subjective, so take them with a grain of salt.

Football: Matches! Thrills! Strong Protagonists!

I love feel-good power fantasies and I'm devoted to the protagonists. I keep track of why I follow or drop each story. Romance is just a side dish: only competitions make the main course
