Promising New Soccer Stories
My love of football novels began with the great Lin Hai. One day, I read The Champion's Tutor, and I fell completely in love with football stories... Here are a few good football sports novels I'd like to recommend.

My Personal Picks, Come Take a Look
A few standards I use when looking for books: 1. For fantasy, sci-fi, xianxia, and historical novels, I want good writing and a good plot. 2. For light novels, anything goes as long as it's not too cringey. 3. For unusual worlds and niche genres, the plot just shouldn't be a complete mess. The writing can be decent and that's OK. 4. Basically, I've read every well-written soccer novel. 5. For urban entertainment novels, I like them lighthearted.

Leaving aside the writing style, the biggest flaw of this book is that it excessively mythologizes the coach's on-field command. A coach suspended for 10 matches, and a league champion's team only manages 3 draws and 7 losses? Even if all the core players were suspended, it wouldn't have that kind of impact!
As a Liverpool fan, I'm actually reading a book by our arch-rivals! 🥱🥱🥱
The main text is too long, so I'm pasting the beginning and end repeatedly. I suggest you change this habit.
As the title suggests, I've read many chapters and I'm getting a bit annoyed by the author's habit of repeatedly pasting the last paragraph of one chapter as well as the first paragraph of another, which makes the reading experience very disjointed. The setting of My Magic is good, but could you make the competition more exciting? The competition and character descriptions feel a bit dry... Finally, keep it up!
Some suggestions about this book
Novels originate from life, but transcend it. This book is a realistic portrayal of football coaching, so all aspects (match events, data, player and coach Tiger's development, etc.) Should be made as "relatively reasonable" as possible, at least to make it self-consistent. Regarding the match details, I suggest the author research past Manchester United matches.
Finally found a book about Manchester United! There are too many articles about Manchester City and Liverpool in football writing, it's annoying.
After reading the first few dozen chapters, it seems the author doesn't really understand the game. The protagonist's observation of Manchester United's weaknesses is superficial; even commentators could probably point that out, yet he acts like he's some kind of genius.
As a Barcelona fan who paid to read the book, I'm speechless at the author's attitude. Am I watching Manchester United or Real Madrid? The author clearly writes with a bias against Barcelona in the later parts of the novel. I suggest that authors avoid writing novels with strong subjective opinions, since novels are meant to be read by everyone, not vented on forums.
Is he a sycophant to Cristiano Ronaldo? He's forcing Ronaldo to win the Champions League, next season's sextuple, the Premier League Golden Boot, the Champions League Golden Boot, the European Championship Golden Boot, and the Ballon d'Or, and then forcing Ronaldo to win the European Championship final without injury.
The football spell system is quite interesting to look at, but I won't read anything about Manchester United. After all, I'm a Manchester City fan, and reading a book about their arch-rivals wouldn't be friendly to me. I don't think the two teams would have a pleasant encounter in this book.
How many times has this lousy Community Shield been won? And the Champions League? We haven't won a single league title! That damn Tiger King should just be sacked and kicked out!
