Rolling Around in the Mud as a Trust-Fund Baby [Football]

[A soccer story about a rich young man building his career from scratch on a grassroots team]

You're a trust-fund baby, with blue eyes and a height of six foot one. You don't do finance.

You do racing.

Your mother owns shares in most major carmakers, including Ferrari, Mercedes, and Aston Martin. The ones she doesn't own aren't out of reach, they're simply not valuable enough.

Your father was the youngest Grand Prix winner and World Champion in history. Even twenty years after retiring, he still holds the record for the most championship trophies.

And you have had countless fans ever since you were born.

At eight, you took up racing and showed extraordinary talent. The whole world was waiting for you to come of age, enter F1, and usher in the next dynasty.

Everyone was fighting over which team you would join.

You chose to...

Play soccer!

As a defender, no less!

"Thanks to Cen Weixi, the average wealth of spectators at this match has gone through the roof."

"Who's the most nervous person here? The rookie playing in the final? The penalty taker at the twelve-yard spot? No, it's Cen Weixi's insurance company."
