Reborn in 1994: Turmoil in the Football World

This book was written quite early, but as a rare Chinese club novel, it's worth reading.

It's an old book from ten years ago, but it's actually quite good.

After watching the news about football recently, I couldn't help but read this book again and come here to chat a few words. Although the Football Association policies in this book are the words of the author, I don't know if they are really good. But thinking about the current Chinese football, these policies in this book feel perfect when they are used in contemporary times!!

The football portion of the book is decent, but the other plot points are rather absurd. Would someone skilled at managing money really run away from home with only a few thousand yuan? Even though banks weren't nationwide networks back then, you could still bring remittance slips, right? And after the woman went to the game and started working at Tianhua, wouldn't she know who the main character was? Of course, this is just a rant; after all, it's an old book and can't be changed.

I don't watch football games, but I read a football novel 7 or 8 years ago when I was in high school. I suddenly remembered the author's name and came back to take a look.

Wow, how did I find this old book? This line of thinking is truly unique; this approach doesn't exist anymore.

The beginning was quite good, but I didn't enjoy reading it much later on. The most crucial point is that in important matches, the protagonist's team never wins decisively. Either they fall behind by two goals right from the start, or the opponent scores consecutive goals to equalize. Then, the protagonist's team scores the winning goal in the last few minutes, in stoppage time, or in extra time. It's always the same pattern in crucial matches.

I heard this book actually predicted Evergrande's future, so I'm checking it out.

Corruption, corruption, corruption—it's a vicious cycle that keeps repeating itself.

Looking back, there aren't many readable football novels these days.
