I've been following soccer for five years, and I hardly have any dealbreakers. Here are some recommendations with good match scenes or off-field writing. I read so much that I mainly made this list to keep track of things for myself.

After getting rejected by an NPC yet again, the player finally snapped! Isn't this how you raise affection in a damn game? You just chat with them, and they enjoy it. Shouldn't their affection go up? Every time I chat with you, you laugh your head off. I've chatted with you for so long, and today you tell me you want to stay with Milan forever? You say you want to stay in Milan and forage for wild greens? What is that supposed to mean?! The player was confuse 10.8kFavorites15.1kClicks/ch46.4kGifts

The System drops him into a parallel world as an Englishman, then disappears. Gu Yi isn’t disappointed. Using the simulated training space the System left behind, he becomes a professional soccer player. He may not be all that amazing, but he has been a first-team regular at Manchester United for almost ten years. Now he’s 31.7kFavorites56.9kClicks/ch74.5kGifts

The protagonist studies medicine while playing football. He's of English descent and was knighted by the Queen for his significant contributions to sports medicine. David Beckham is a close friend of the protagonist. Because of the system, he briefly served as a goalkeeper at age 50. It's a very cute and enjoyable family story, the kind of non-pretentious, non-awkward kind of showing off that I like.
3 [Football] I’m Just That Good at Assists [足球]我就是能助攻 Wind Southward风斯图南No CP1.3M WordsCompleted Pinned: Can you all call me Feng Sibei? I can’t change my pen name right now, but I want it to be Feng Sibei. Thanks, girls! Also known as: The Spineless Midfielder Play Football! All you need is legs! A sharp-tongued football fan transmigrates into a Bayern youth forward with a broken ankle. His running is youth-team level, and his shooting is neighborhood-pitch level. On the first day of his recovery, the club’s youth director tries to get him to quit. The story starts on hell difficulty! 23.5kFavorites35.5kClicks/ch110.9kGifts

Highly recommended!! The protagonist is from Shi Yizhong!! He came through Bayern Munich's youth academy, was loaned to Borussia Mönchengladbach, and later went to Chelsea and Real Madrid. During Chelsea's turmoil, he secretly handed over the chairmanship to Abramovich. The football is incredibly good, and the matches are beautifully written! It has a strong Qidian (a popular online novel platform) feel, but it's not a typical male-oriented story! Highly recommended for football fans! It's not only exciting but also avoids the typical male-oriented feel. Compared to some stories where the protagonist becomes overconfident and loses all hope of winning, this one has a much better pace. Although it's a Grand Slam, winning three or four rounds, every match is solid and shows breakthroughs. He and Ballack are father, mentor, and friend; the scene where they look at the moon and make vows before winning the Champions League really brought me to tears 😭😭 Please go watch it!

The female lead was a K-pop fan site admin in her past life, running individual player fan sites, organizing birthday parties, and even pulling a bus – everything about her was great, but she's more suited to fanfiction about individual players than team fans. I'm not very familiar with Serie A and am not currently a fan of any particular team, so I might be more of a team fan and might stop reading after a while. It's very friendly to Serie A fans, and I highly recommend it. One potentially controversial point is the South Korean World Cup match between South Korea and Italy. The female lead smashed a camera at a South Korean player in the stands. Some people found it satisfying, but personally, I found it... Unpleasant. Anyway, I recommend reading it.

The pairing is Courtois-Mount-Modric. This is the only one of Nina's books that I could actually finish reading. The on-field portion isn't much; it's mostly about their off-field romance, and Courtois's presence is incredibly strong. By the way, I'm a huge Kevin Durant fan, and reading about Courtois here was so satisfying, I couldn't help but feel protective of him 🐰. Before, I always felt Nina's writing was a bit too gentle, getting increasingly intense as she wrote, but this book is much better, a significant improvement, and definitely worth reading.

The story features a protagonist who buys Manchester United (no romantic partner), and if I remember correctly, it's about a grandfather-grandson relationship with Ferguson. The protagonist is a Kaká fan, and the story revolves around healing Kaká, etc. It's a sweet, family-friendly story, worth reading. I felt it became a bit repetitive after reading over 200 chapters, but it's still very enjoyable.

This is by the same author as "I'm Just a Assist Player"!! It's incredibly good! If the previous book had a slight male-oriented feel, this one doesn't at all! The protagonist is Maldini's eldest son, a defender, and has a bit of a backstory (in his previous life, he played striker before switching to defense, had misunderstandings with Maldini, the club, etc., And was incredibly skilled but misunderstood). It doesn't feel abrupt at all; instead, it adds more depth to the story. 🐰 It's perfect for Maldini fans! Currently, the protagonist, as a defender, is relentlessly defending, helping Italy win the World Cup without conceding a goal, and is currently saving up to buy AC Milan. 🐰🐰 As a Real Madrid fan who has barely watched Serie A, I've been completely won over and become a Milan enthusiast. I highly recommend everyone give this a try, and I'm eagerly awaiting updates every day! 🐰🐰

Note that there's a pairing of older Kaka with Luo, and younger Kaka with Ma Dandan. The writing style is light and easy, perfect for bedtime reading; it's heartwarming. There are no major issues. The relationship between younger and older Kaka is particularly delicate, showing both complete dependence and trust, as well as relief and anticipation. 🐰🐰 I'm really enjoying Kaka's story.

The protagonist is a pitiful little guy who escaped to Italy. He originally intended to go to Inter Milan but accidentally ended up at AC Milan and was taken in by Maldini. He's devoted to Maldini and plans to protect him for life, but unexpectedly falls in love with him. He's adorable, but there aren't many matches, and he doesn't play for the national team. I got a little tired of it after about 200 chapters. The pacing is fast in the beginning, but around chapter 150 it starts to slow down and becomes less interesting. You could try it out.

The main character is the goalkeeper for Cleveland, and his love interest is Modric. The protagonist has some psychological issues due to his past, and he's particularly fond of the soft-spoken character. Their romance is so sweet it makes my heart ache! The soft-spoken character is incredibly stable and gives the protagonist the love he needs. Modric is a sweet and devoted guy, totally adorable! However, the match writing is a little dry, but that doesn't detract from the overall quality; you can skip around and enjoy it.

The protagonist is Maldini's eldest son, who was transferred to Manchester City due to problems at AC Milan, Berlusconi's departure, and dressing room turmoil. He's somewhat of a center forward (in a positive sense). The protagonist is a child who grew up in love and can love in return. I, a fan of Kevin, enjoyed reading it quite a bit; the two have just confessed their feelings and are currently together. The whole story is lighthearted and can be enjoyed as a sweet treat.

The protagonist and Buffon were childhood sweethearts and first love for two years before breaking up amicably. While playing football, the protagonist also flirts with (and is flirted with) other footballers. Currently, she has Buffon as her eternal home, is sandwiched between Inzaghi and Inzaghi (Inzaghi is slightly masculine), and has a straight man who is slightly gay, Polonaise. She has failed to seduce Maldini and Costacurta. 🐰 It's quite a sight to behold, with Buffon and the protagonist having a good relationship. They each do their own thing outside the home, but if they hit it off, they get back together. It's definitely a Serie A extravaganza! 🐰🐰 Go watch it, you big yellow girl!

The main character is a half-Italian, half-Italy fan of Juventus, a passionate Ronaldo fan. The romance is very well-written, and the fandom is perfectly enjoyable; the love story is quite sweet. Everything else is well-written, except I personally disliked the part where the protagonist goes back to Hong Kong to save someone, the part where his mother's past mistakes are brought up after he reaches the peak of his career, and the final betrayal. Besides these, there are other unnecessary elements, such as the protagonist secretly supporting a young girl from his mother's extended family being exploited by someone with ulterior motives. However, these flaws don't detract from the overall quality and can be skipped; I respect the author's reasons. Overall, it's worth watching.

The female lead is Belgian, aspiring to be a player agent since childhood, and can use a simulator to create alternate player accounts to sign herself. She has a very cute personality and a hilarious writing style. The romance between Kuva and Kevin feels a bit subtle (you Belgians 😂). However, the author recently had some family issues and might have to stop updating after the VIP period ends. But it's still a very good read, definitely worth it.

The first playthrough was Red Star, and there weren't many chapters. It was so frustrating to read. At the end, when they were filling in the Black Star and Split Star sections, they didn't include the main character in the Darling Team to protect him. The second playthrough is about a truly awful Belgian character, the main character is a quiet, naturally naive guy, and the pairing is Courtois. Courtois is truly my only personal favorite here; it made me feel both sad and heartbroken. Highly recommended! The original story is available for free on LOFTER; it's definitely worth reading.
