    I was recommended a story about Arsenal, but after reading chapter 14 I was completely baffled. It's not that I don't accept the "kind-hearted" character trope, but the part about being framed and taking performance-enhancing drugs without retaliating really got me stuck. It's a slow-burn story, kind of like a four-panel comic. I picked it up again and read a few chapters, but I still can't accept it. The way the framing situation leads to such a convoluted and twisted way of hating scouts really amused me. Does that logic even make sense? [Crying emoji]

I was very moved by Cruyff's youth; I could recognize him no matter what he looked like. The story interweaves the weakening history of the Eredivisie with the dark history of Ligue 1, Zidane's endless mishaps, and also features Ancelotti and Wenger.

    Recommended for reading, the female-to-male cross-dressing is a point I don't like, and the choice of number 37 to commemorate the deceased Girls' Generation is hard to judge. Many people have said that the author hasn't changed it, so I feel like it might be a spoiler [cheek rest]. In terms of reading experience, I found it to be realistic, which is a bit confusing (?). It's not about going from youth training to the first team, but the characters love the club because of their teammates (I don't really understand how someone can have such a strong club obsession). Overall, it doesn't really appeal to my personal taste, but there are some unnecessary parts that feel like a lump in my throat.

I don't understand what the author was thinking, making a 24-year-old goalkeeper a substitute for 36-year-old Neuer who was injured while skiing. Later, it was mentioned that Bayern Munich sold him to Inter Milan after one year. While writing about the harsh reality of Chelsea being purged, the author also said that the novel doesn't reflect reality. It would have been better to just have the protagonist retire. The title of the story is "Make Enough Money and Retire," but I never actually saw the retirement scene. It really brought back some disgusting memories... There was also the very strange repeated description of the protagonist's sister's shattered idol dream, which I don't understand. P.

Luka Modric was a frail boy who emerged from the flames of war. Accompanied by the Croatian Rhapsody, he grew into a great midfield master. A humble genius and a magnificent Ballon d'Or winner, what kind of destination could possibly be worthy of all the hardship he endured along the way? In this parallel world, Luka Modric is both a footballer and a writer, a midfield master with the soul of an artist. Very i 1.4kFavorites2.9kClicks/ch1.5kGifts

    The author is very consistent with their writing style, but the story of the dog's family is quite dramatic, so I haven't finished it yet and plan to wait until the series ends before reading it.
