Unfinished Eleven

Chen Yu, who was once eliminated from European youth training, said goodbye to professional football due to injury. Since then, his career has failed, his marriage has broken down, and he is heavily in debt. Desperate, he returned to China and worked as an assistant coach at an ordinary youth football training class, only to find that a group of seemingly mediocre children did not lack talent, but had never really learned how to play a complete game. A Youth Discovery Cup held in Milan gave Chen Yu an opportunity to pay off his debts and make a comeback. To raise funds, he touted the prospects of the tournament, promising European trials and a future for professional football to parents and investors. However, they must first make it through the brutal domestic qualifying rounds - failure would be all for naught. So, a down-and-out coach with dishonorable motives took eleven teenagers with their own flaws and tried to connect a group of scattered individuals into a real team, starting from positioning, passing, running and collaboration. Some people are afraid of failure, some are addicted to singles, and some never dare to take responsibility; and Chen Yu must also choose between victory and lies. This is not only a football journey chasing European competition, but also a story of twelve "losers" rediscovering their status, trust and self-worth.
