The Soccer Charm System

I admire the protagonist's efforts in nurturing and improving the national football team. Back then, there was still a chance; after all, Vardy was considered mediocre. If the promising young players of that era had been given a chance to change, they might have succeeded.

The person who says not to write about Chinese football is quite something. This is fiction; it doesn't work in reality. Does that mean we can't even fantasize about it in novels? Do you know that every real football fan harbors a bit of a dream about the Chinese national team?

The beginning was alright, but the key chapter was about the Wenchuan earthquake, where the protagonist dies from poisoning. The protagonist is a football coach who, to prevent a tragedy like the one in Wenchuan, actually contacted a friend at CCTV a week in advance, claiming he had divined an earthquake would occur on May 12th.

Personally, I think the Chinese national football team has lost all sense of shame at some point, so there's no point in fantasizing about it anymore. I'm not targeting the players, but the overall environment is like this; it's not something that can be solved by some superstar with cheat codes. Besides, it's fine to fantasize about someone getting a cheat code and making it to the World Cup in a novel, but that's unnecessary.

There has to be a limit to how much you can praise someone. The protagonist leading the Chinese national football team to the World Cup semi-finals feels completely unrealistic. In reality, anyone who led the national team to the 2014, 2018, and 2022 World Cups, even if they failed to advance from the group stage once, would be lauded to the skies.

This is so pretentious. Against strong teams, it's always 3-2, and always a last-minute winner, without fail. Meanwhile, you're touting who's the best center-back. It's one thing to score against strong teams—after all, powerful strikers have individual ability—but against weaker forwards, you still score. Seriously? And what does the Wenchuan earthquake have to do with you? Aren't you embarrassed?

I've thought of a spell; let's see if the author uses it. Name: Transformation. Function: When used on a non-Chinese player, the system will change the player's and their parents' nationality, birthplace, and developmental trajectory to make them completely Chinese. This change will not be noticed by others. Scope of Application: Worldwide. Then change Son Heung-min to Chinese, Sun Jihai, Sun Ke, Son Heung-min—see, not out of place?

This is suicidal! You could have quietly made a fortune, but instead, you publicized it to the world, telling everyone that Traditional Chinese Medicine can cure what Western medicine can't. The key question is, who are you trying to fool? In this age of such transparent information, what can withstand the test of science and modern medicine?

There's something about Xu Genbao that I don't understand. When Wu Lei was first emerging in China, both Copenhagen from Denmark and Molde from Norway were interested in him. At the time, Molde's manager was Solskjaer, who personally nominated Wu Lei. Xu Genbao rejected both offers because he felt it wasn't the best time for Wu Lei to play abroad, and the transfer fees offered were too low.

After reading many book reviews, I decided to read the book. No matter how bad the national football team is, it's still our football. Even if the Chinese national football team is bad, you can criticize it. Even if it's not good, it's still yours. Science knows no borders. Scientists, however, do. We couldn't do anything before. And now? Needless to say, they can be seen everywhere.
