The GOAT of Football, Starting in 2016

A piece of trashy writing about the Chinese national football team, one chapter is enough to kill you.

How can you say the Bundesliga is rough? The Bundesliga is the best league among the top five leagues for leveling up; the roughest league is probably the Premier League.

A bunch of trolls, all they're good for is typing. The national football team deserves criticism, but after that, shouldn't we offer encouragement? All they do is criticize. These trolls probably don't even know who the national team players are; they just watch videos from marketing accounts. Get out of your dark wells and see the bigger picture!

There isn't a large market for sports in China. Looking at the 2024 rankings of female athletes' earnings, Zheng Qinwen's endorsement income is only slightly higher than Swiatek's, and even less than Gu Ailing's. Although Zheng Qinwen doesn't have a Grand Slam, the Olympic Games generate significantly more buzz than a Grand Slam, so even if she did win one, her endorsement earnings wouldn't…

The nation, the players, and the management should not be generalized. Poor performance deserves criticism, but we shouldn't negate those who are willing to contribute to the improvement and development of the national team. It's like having traitors in the country; we should eliminate them, not defect to the enemy. Otherwise, wouldn't we be no different from Wang Jingwei?

What's wrong with writing about the Chinese national football team? If it doesn't work in reality, can't we just fantasize about it in novels? Isn't reading novels about making the impossible possible? Why are you worrying so much about reality when reading a novel? Why don't you just watch documentaries?

I haven't watched it yet. But didn't his profile say it includes the Chinese national football team? Why are people arguing and insulting each other in the comments section? Is that interesting?

I simply can't bring myself to read novels about how the Chinese national football team has improved in recent years. Perhaps it's because I don't love them enough. People always say they've gotten better in recent matches, but think back to when Lippi was coaching; fans back then thought the same thing. Those dreams of big-spending football ultimately shattered. Maybe I'll read this novel when the national team has truly improved.

How many years have you all been acting like dutiful sons to the national football team?

I really can't stand football novels with banana-like (American-looking) protagonists and characters who are worse than the Chinese national football team.
