When Yang Ming was seven, he was bitten by a spider and realized his body seemed to have changed. A chance encounter set him on the path to soccer, taking him from a small Chinese city to Benfica in Lisbon. At sixteen, he made his debut in the Portuguese league and shattered everyone's expectations. How could a Chinese player possibly put on a performance like that? From the initial doubts onward, everyone wondered the same thing: could he get even better? Only Yang Ming knew the truth: he had never once given it everything he had.
