Football's Banner: The King of Jinling

The King of Jinling, a city guarded by dragons and crouching tigers, strikes true from a hundred paces and conquers the world. In 1996, Xu Fang survived, allowing the professionalization of football in Huaxia to continue. Then, in 2006, sixteen-year-old Zhang Yang burst onto the scene! He had Kaka's charisma, Ronaldinho's touch, Ronaldo's finishing, and Juninho's free-kick mastery. With blistering pace and equal skill on both feet, he was the complete attacking force! From Ning University's "Flying Yang" in the college leagues, to "Yang the Sharpshooter" on the Huaxia Super League pitch, to the "King of Jinling" who claimed the AFC Champions League! With his speed and finishing, he opened the story of Asia's new king! From a dazzling glimpse at Arsenal, to the undisputed centerpiece of Inter's dynasty, to a Galactico legend at the Bernabeu! With his vision and artistry, he wrote the legend of an Eastern king! This is a story of talent and fortune coming to fruition in the fertile ground of Huaxia football reform, with no System involved. Zhang Yang never fights alone. He is the standard-bearer of Huaxia football! This novel is set in a parallel fictional world. All countries, place names, organizations, characters, competitions, customs, and other details are fictional. The setting and plot are unrelated to the real world. Any resemblance is purely coincidental. If there is one, it belongs to 1996: the year Huaxia football's fate was gently nudged in a new direction.
