Champion Legend

A very complete account, a very realistic feeling, and excellent writing. Although it's a slow burn, it realistically portrays the difficulties and psychological journey of an ordinary person with talent becoming a professional player. As for the female lead… the original one was the best; she was just too perfect… It's a pity about the French girl… And that Kobayashi 😂 I guess the book fans wouldn't allow him to change the female lead; the original one was still the best.

Another tearjerker begins!

Having read several of this author's books, I couldn't get through this one. Other readers might enjoy this slow pace, but it's not my cup of tea.

This book is probably the first football novel I've ever read, and also the one I've read the most times. I even considered giving up on it the first time I read it, because the first hundred or so chapters were really discouraging. But I persevered and read on, and it wasn't until Wimbledon faced Chelsea in the FA Cup that things started to get really exciting.
