Football: I Get Stronger Just by Taking a Sip of Water

The fact that Beijing Guoan can lose to a county-level team shows how corrupt the domestic football circle is. Skilled players without money can't play. Expecting a superstar to save men's football is impossible. What the Football Association needs is thorough anti-corruption and reform, establishing a healthy system from top to bottom, especially in youth training.

Sometimes I wonder if introducing capital into the betting industry, like in other countries, would be more ethical than having the Chinese Football Association operate behind closed doors, and would the domestic league be healthier?

It's truly incomprehensible why they wouldn't let him join the national team. A reborn individual with an incredible cheat code, a superstar who's practically guaranteed the Ballon d'Or in a few years outside of major tournaments, is being pushed abroad to become a "banana" (yellow on the outside, white on the inside), a traitor. Why not just watch Messi and Ronaldo then?

Writing about the Chinese national football team might get you criticized; not writing about it and then adding someone to another national team will also get you criticized. Either way, just write what you feel comfortable with.

I asked those people what they wanted the protagonist to do. If he wanted to be the greatest of all time, he definitely needed the World Cup trophy. So there are only two possibilities: either he joins the national team or he becomes a citizen of another country.

Football novels will die sooner or later in the hands of traitors.

No novelist would dare write about leading the national football team to victory; doing so would guarantee a flop. It just goes to show that the national football team has become so rotten that even fantasizing about winning a championship is disgusting.

Don't let moralistic arguments hold you hostage. The domestic pig farming industry is just a business; it doesn't deserve...

Come on, Beijing Guoan lost to Jingzhou Wenhui, and you "fans" are here to defend them. Don't say the other team was professional; even Guangxi Jichi is a China League Two versus a Chinese Super League team, right? There are two levels in between! And don't say they didn't field their starters. Did all of Beijing Guoan's starters get invited to the Qatar World Cup?

The protagonist may not change back to Chinese citizenship or join the Chinese national football team, but hopefully he won't join any other national teams. I simply cannot accept the scene where the main character is wearing a jersey from another country and singing the national anthem of another country; that would be disgusting. If such a plot is to occur, please let the author know in advance, so I don't end up swearing. Thank you.
