Football Competition Articles
足球竞技文
I started watching football since the 2002 World Cup and have not stopped for more than 20 years. I also read football articles in my spare time. Although football literature is becoming more and more niche and has a serious tendency towards homogenization, there are still some excellent or distinctive football articles. This book just lists some of my favorite football articles and recommends them to everyone. I hope you can like them too.
This book can be said to be the originator of Golden Finger in football literature, and its main theme is the word "cool". Before this book, other football articles were closely connected with reality. The protagonist just knew more about future generations than others, and still had to rely on his own hard work to succeed. As a protagonist of a coach or a player, a reasonable opportunity is also needed to successfully rise to the top. This book changes that situation and opens up the golden finger. The protagonist becomes the head coach of Real Madrid through the modifier at the beginning, without any reasonable opportunity to rise to the top. If you switch to other football articles, becoming the head coach of a club of Real Madrid's level would probably require hundreds of chapters. Suitable for the crowd: This book is more suitable for book lovers who like football articles, coaching articles, and refreshing articles. Rating of the work: C (The setting was very novel at the time, but it is just average today. It is quite refreshing and suitable for relaxing. The plot is smooth. The writing is average. The football knowledge is not solid.) Content summary: This book tells the story of an ordinary young man who accidentally obtained a golden finger in football and became the coach of Real Madrid. With the help of the golden finger, he continued to win. Personal review: First of all, as mentioned above, the biggest advantage of this book is that it is fun. You can become the coach of Real Madrid at the beginning, and you can always win the game through modifiers. The protagonist has almost no setbacks, so it is fun from beginning to end. Probably the biggest setback for the protagonist is that the opponent is so powerful that he has to spend several hours simulating it to defeat him😓 Secondly, although the author's writing style is average, his ability to control the plot is first-rate. In fact, after the middle period of the book, everyone knows how the author will probably write it, and they shouldn't have any expectations, but the author is able to write a simple plot that is so exciting and smooth that people can't put it down. At least I was once attracted to read this book in one sitting for three days. Finally, the more interesting point of this book is the relationship between the protagonist and the Football Association. I believe that most book lovers do not have a good impression of the Football Association, but it still goes its own way, which makes people feel helpless. The protagonist of this book is completely tough with the Football Association, which is really a big relief for us. For this reason alone, this book is worth reading.

There is no system, no cheats, and under the guise of time travel, it is actually a chronology novel. It doesn't matter if you know the protagonist or not, if you are interested, you can come in and take a look.

This book is one of the very few football articles with a goalkeeper as the protagonist, and it can be seen from the title that the protagonist borrows the image of a real person. So this book is written with the 1990s as the background. It can really be said that it was the golden age of Chinese football. Fans born in the 80s and 90s must have been somewhat reluctant and nostalgic for the golden generation at that time. This book draws a dream for us and makes up for our past regrets. Suitable for the crowd: This book is more suitable for book lovers who like football articles, are not opposed to goalkeepers being the protagonists, like period articles, and have a fondness for and nostalgia for the former national football team. Rating of the work: C (It is a football article and a historical article, allowing us to regain our past memories. The writing is delicate. As the goalkeeper is the protagonist, it will indeed reduce the sense of enjoyment.) Content summary: This book tells the story of a famous retired goalkeeper who traveled decades ago and relied on his own efforts and understanding of the future to become a world-renowned player and collaborated with his national football teammates to achieve good results in the game. Personal review: First of all, it is rare to see a football article in which the goalkeeper is the protagonist. After all, he cannot have as many gorgeous performances as the forwards, which reduces the sense of fun. But for book lovers who have read too many football articles in which forwards and other protagonists are protagonists, football articles in which goalkeepers are the protagonists are still somewhat fresh. It can be said that there are advantages and disadvantages. Secondly, this book is based on the background of the 1990s. Although it focuses on football, it will inevitably write about various things related to the 1990s. It is not an exaggeration to call it a period novel. Reading this book can also help you reminisce and miss the past. Finally, I really like the description of the national football team in this book. Compared with the current situation, I believe many book friends will miss the golden generation like me. Unfortunately, due to various reasons, they did not achieve much results. And this book can be regarded as fulfilling our regrets.

This book is a classic of football literature, and it is not an exaggeration to say it is a pioneering work. There must be many book friends like me who started reading football articles because of this book. It was also through this book that I learned about Nottingham Forest, a strange team that has won more Champions Leagues than league titles. It just so happened that Nottingham finally returned to the top league in the past two years, which made me want to read this book again. Therefore, I also added it to the book list, hoping that book friends who have read it can read and discuss it together, and hope that book friends who have not read it can try to read the next book. Suitable for the crowd: This book is more suitable for book lovers who like football articles and coaching articles and don't care much about the description of love lines. Rating of the work: B (classic work. Solid football-related knowledge. Excellent writing style. The protagonist has a distinctive personality) Content summary: This book tells the story of a Chinese young man who traveled through time and became a foreigner more than ten years ago. He relied on his understanding of future events to cultivate players, lead the team in competitions, and finally win the championship. Author: Lin Da is an expert in football writing and the only platinum player in the sports competition category. I have been writing football articles since 2006 and have been writing non-stop for more than ten years. Both football knowledge and writing skills are very solid. Therefore, Lin Da's other football articles are also worth reading. Personal review: First of all, I think the protagonist's character development is very good, and he is constantly growing. In the early stage, the protagonist has a hot temper and sharp edge, and his tactics are mainly defensive and counterattack. He is a replica of Mu Niao. In the later period, as the team's strength improved and it continued to achieve success, the protagonist's character became a little gentler than before, and his tactics were not so conservative. Secondly, I also feel good about the training of players. The protagonist not only cuts off some Mavericks, but also trains players who would not otherwise be famous. Yes, in reality, acquired training is also very important, unlike FM, where everyone's talent limit is determined early. It is estimated that many book clubs will be like me. Watching George Wood become a world star step by step, they can't help but smile with joy. Finally, I have to admire Lin Da's prediction ability. In fact, unless this kind of football article is set in a very early period, it is difficult to write about too many seasons, because the author himself does not know what famous players will be in the future and what will happen. Lin Da wrote about it for many seasons. Surprisingly, many of his predictions later became reality. For example, Bale became a world superstar, and Mu Niao joined Manchester United and struggled with the protagonist. Personal complaints: The emotional line is too poorly written😓Also, the protagonist is dressed as a foreigner, which makes it difficult for people to feel immersed in the story.
This is the only football article that brought tears to my eyes. Indeed, it has various shortcomings, but in my mind it is the best football article, bar none. Reading this book can not only see the growth of the protagonist, but also the staggering development of Chinese football as the protagonist's career develops. I know that now everyone feels sorry for the national football team, but we can't blame the players from decades ago. I hope everyone can put aside their prejudice against the national football team and try to read this book. Maybe you, like me, will be moved by the golden generation decades ago. Suitable for the crowd: This book is more suitable for book lovers who like football articles, can accept a less than satisfying ending, and have no objection to the national football team of decades ago. Rating of the work: A (Although it is also a cool article, the ending is still thought-provoking. It shows the style of Chinese football. The plot is smooth and natural. The knowledge of football is solid. My personal filter.) Content summary: This book tells the story of a Chinese teenager who became a world-renowned football superstar through his own efforts and led the national football team to develop and progress together. Personal review: First of all, the football knowledge in this book and the understanding of the national football team are very solid. After all, it is Lin Da's book, so there are few loopholes in this aspect, but it is still guaranteed. Secondly, it is very satisfying and exciting to lead the national football team to win the World Cup. Lin Da weaved a beautiful dream for us, allowing us to recall the strength of the national football team during the golden generation, and also made up for the regret of mediocre results at the beginning. And it won't be particularly surprising, because whether in reality or in the author's writing, their players worked very hard. Achieving good results will not make us feel disobedient. We will only feel that God rewards our hard work, and our efforts will be rewarded. Finally, this book will make people think deeply. I think this is the most unique point of this book and the reason why this book is higher than other football articles. As the protagonist, Zhang Jun also experienced hardships such as being kicked out, suffering from injuries, and eventually even retired early due to injuries. The accompanying rapid decline of the national football team makes us think deeply, is victory the only goal? In addition to winning, do you also need to do a good job in youth training, logistics and other matters? In short, although the fifth volume does not give the book a very satisfactory ending, which reduces the enjoyment of the book, it sublimates the whole book. Finally, when I saw Zhang Jun retired and Xia Hua was in full bloom, I couldn't help but shed tears.
Although many people like a football club because of its good record, there are also many people who like it because of the team's tradition, spirit, culture, etc. What would you do if your favorite club was going to undergo major changes, and even its spiritual culture might change? Accept it silently? Would you like to change to another team? Or resist angrily? The book unfolds under this situation. In the late 1990s, when the giant Manchester United was about to be sold to the Americans, the protagonist of the book (a loyal supporter of the team and a time traveler) rebelled angrily and established the United Manchester Club. Just like he said, he chose betrayal because he loved to the extreme. But when United was first established, it could only participate in the tenth level league, so how did it slowly advance to the top league? If you want to know more, then read this book together. Suitable for the crowd: This book is more suitable for book lovers who like football articles, Manchester United, and club management. Rating of the work: B (The idea is very good. The plot is smooth. The football knowledge is solid. Running a club is also very novel. When it comes to company management, stock investment, etc., The author may not be good at it, and there are many mistakes and omissions.) Content summary: This book tells the story of a young man who traveled back in time to a time when Manchester United was about to be sold more than ten years ago. Out of his extreme love for the team's spirit, he was worried that the spirit of Manchester United would be changed, so he founded his own club, and finally climbed to the top of the world with a new team that inherited the spirit of Manchester United. Author: Lao Chen is also a veteran author of football articles. He has been writing non-stop for more than ten years and was once known as the second-most football article author after Lin Da. And his football knowledge is very solid, so the quality of his books is guaranteed. Personal review: First of all, the subject matter of this book is still rare. Football articles are all about players and coaches. This book is a rare football article about club management. For book lovers who are tired of reading football articles about players and coaches, this book is not to be missed. Secondly, this book expresses the tenacious and unyielding spirit of Manchester United well, or inherits it well. Although I am a Liverpool fan, I have to admit that Manchester United is one of the few teams that can rival Liverpool in terms of mental attributes. So the team spirit is very important. The protagonist deviates from the team spirit and forms a new team. If the new team does not inherit this spirit well, it will be inappropriate. In the end, the team was promoted to the top league step by step, and finally stood on top of the world. This is the biggest highlight of this book. Because it is a newly established club, it can only participate in the tenth level league, and the top league is the first level. It is also very interesting to watch the team continue to grow and advance. Moreover, in other football contexts, clubs are generally top league teams, and there is no problem of constant upgrading. It feels quite fresh.
In recent years, as the commercial atmosphere of football has become stronger and stronger, Jinyuan Football has begun to appear continuously. It is increasingly rare for one person to stick to a team for more than ten years like in the past, which makes people sigh. In this book, the protagonist has always been on the same team, which is somewhat attractive. In addition, Balotelli is also a top name in the field of football. People often regret that he did not succeed. He is obviously the best physically and technically, but he is hindered by his brain. I guess many people are curious about what heights Balotelli could reach if there were no problems with his mind. This is how this book is developed. Suitable for the crowd: This book is more suitable for book lovers who like football articles, like players who can coexist harmoniously with the team, who do not dislike the Korean heroine, and who do not reject leading the national football team to victory. Rating of the work: C (The setting of Balotelli's template is good. The atmosphere in the team is harmonious. It is quite novel and rare for the protagonist to stay in the same team all the time. The writing is average. Leading the national football team forward may cause discomfort to some book friends) Content summary: This book tells the story of a Chinese teenager who obtained the golden finger modeled after Balotelli. With his personal efforts and the help of the golden finger, he led the team to the top and eventually became a team legend. Personal review: The following points are what I prefer. First, the protagonist's youth training was at Sheffield United, and he never left until the end. This is a rare situation in modern football. This kind of loyalty, love, and beautiful talk of mutual achievements between the two parties is quite attractive. Second, the coach also plays a lot of roles. Generally speaking, in football stories where the protagonist is a player, the presence of the coach is very weak. It feels like the protagonist is just leading the team forward, and the coach is irrelevant and dispensable. This is not the case in this book. The coach has a lot of scenes, he gets along well with the protagonist, and there is a lot of interaction. Usually the coach formulates tactics, and the protagonist mostly follows the coach's arrangements. This is quite rare. In fact, this is right. Although the protagonist should be highlighted, the role of the supporting characters cannot be completely eliminated. Third, the values are also very positive, which emphasizes that only through hard work can you gain something. Although the protagonist has a golden finger, the golden finger only increases the upper limit of the protagonist's talent. To achieve growth and progress, you still need to work hard on your own*. The protagonist also achieves his growth through personal hard work. All in all, this book is an above-qualified football article and quite worth reading.
