In 2016, Leicester City had just shocked the world by winning the Premier League. Barcelona edged past Real Madrid to top La Liga, Juventus reigned over Serie A, Bayern dominated the Bundesliga, and PSG scored 100 goals to crush Ligue 1.
But that same year, everything changed—because of Lin Qi.
Thanks to the Top-Class Midfield Maestro System, Lin Qi started with god-tier passing and dribbling skills. And just like that, Super Lin was born.
Born from Chinese–Croatian blood, Lin Qi led Croatia to fulfill their dream: winning the 2018 World Cup! Crowned as Europe’s new king of football, he turned Croatia into a world-class powerhouse.
Guardiola: “The best player I’ve ever coached? No doubt—Lin Qi.”
Cristiano Ronaldo: “If the Ballon d’Or goes to Lin Qi, I’ll accept it—no complaints.”
Messi: “One lucky thing: Lin Qi can’t play in the Copa America.”
Qatari Oil Tycoon (PSG): “What? €100 million isn’t enough to sign Lin Qi? How about €200 million?”
Emirati Oil Boss (Man City): tapping the table “You think I’m just background noise?”

"Fans of this era are lucky because they have witnessed the birth of the greatest football king of the 21st century and are enjoying the football feast he brings every day."
"And being a player of this era is unfortunate, because they live in the same era as the King of Football and can only tremble in his shadow."
Lin Ran couldn't help laughing when he saw this evaluation of himself in the latest issue of a sports magazine.
Back in 2017, armed with a system that simulates football matches, Zhao Zhao became the head coach of Sunderland in the Premier League.
[You simulated a match against Manchester United, resulting in a 0-2 loss]
[You simulated another match against Manchester United, now with a 3-2 victory]
Because he could simulate matches endlessly and then use the best results, Zhao Zhao's team's win rate increased dramatically, instantly becoming a rising star in the coaching world.
Through this continuous simulation process, Zhao Zhao could also deeply study and experiment with new tactics, gradually developing into the world's best tactician!
As he led Sunderland to the top of the world, passionate songs filled the skies above the Stadium of Light:
"My heart is with Sunderland!"
In the magical year of 2003, a brand new era quietly arrived.
Beckham left for Spain, and the Portuguese player named Cristiano Ronaldo joined Manchester United;
the ambitious Wenger led his Gunners and blew the horn of the undefeated season;
the sky above Stamford Bridge was filled with Russian banknotes, wanting to recruit talents from all over the world unscrupulously;
at the north gate of Hyde Park in the core area of London, Yang Cheng, who had just graduated from university, inherited a club on the verge of bankruptcy and a piece of prime land that everyone coveted.
"I am definitely the most failed time traveler in history!"
"But I will lead my team to conquer a large territory in the Premier League, in Europe, and in the world, and make all the top teams tremble at our feet!"

Reporter: "Excuse me, who do you think is the best player in today's football world?"
Passerby: "There are many players with good skills, such as Messi, Ronaldo, and Lin Rui. They are all top players in my mind."
Reporter: "So who do you think is the strongest man in football today?"
Passerby: "There is no doubt about this. It must be Lin Rui from China. There is no dispute about this."
Reporter: "Who do you think is the biggest villain in football today?"
Passerby: "Of course it's Lin Rui. Haven't you seen someone as strong as Pepe? Do Ramos and his ilk have to avoid him?"
reporter:"…………"
Lin Rui: "I think people may have some misunderstandings about me. I just don't want to be bullied on the court. I'm not that vicious."
Opponents: "I don't trust you! You Chinese are a bad guy."
Lin Luo is reborn just before kicking off his pro football career.
In his past life, he drifted through mediocrity. But now? A new path awaits.
Just as he's lost in thought...
The Late Bloomer System activates!
“Wait—I'm only 19, and you're calling me a late bloomer?!”
“So if I follow training routines meant for aging veterans, I get stronger non-stop?”
“I even get passive skills? What's this one—‘Heavy Cannon Shooter’?!”
“And retirement training boosts my stats too?! What is this cheat?!”
Ye Luo had a fierce conflict with the head coach of the National Olympic Team because he disdained to assist his relatives. He left the team in anger and obtained the strongest football system. At the beginning, he was rewarded with three SS-level templates: Ronaldo template, Ronaldinho template, and C Ronaldo template!
Ye Luo, who combined the three strongest Ronaldo templates in history, took off from then on.
A super striker with perfect skills, speed and strength appeared on the football field.
Golden Boot, Best Player, and Champions followed one after another!
Fans: "If Ye Luo is not recalled, I swear I will never watch the national football game again!"
General Manager of the Football Association: "Please, ancestor, please come back soon, I kneel down for you."

What is G-O-A-T?
It means Greatest of All Time.
…
In 2003, when the football world was full of stars.
Roy traveled through time and space, starting with Mbappe's talent and opening the [Road to the King of Football].
Can every important honor improve one's talent?
Unruly, elegant, unyielding, and fierce.
He is the swiftest wind and the sharpest sword.
He is the most terrifying conqueror on the green field.
With countless glories, he forges his own crown!
...
Deschamps: "Don't ask me to tie a dog crown! Forget it, it smells so good!"
Mourinho: "I appreciate his football skills, but that doesn't mean I don't hate his arrogance."
Messi: I feel like I live under his shadow.
C Ronaldo: "I have my principles. I don't want to be trampled underfoot all my life. I have waited for so many years, just for an opportunity...
...
Roy: "I've said it so many times, we should call each other GOAT when playing football."
"As for Messi and Ronaldo, they can compete for the deputy GOAT."
"The ecology of the football world! It's at the top, holding all the power!"
In April 2000, as the end of La Liga's most turbulent season approached, Atlético Madrid, long languishing in the relegation zone, faced one last opportunity.
Watch how Yang Hao turned the tide and led Atlético in a frantic relegation battle, writing the most dazzling and epic chapter of the most glorious era in world football!
2015 was a brilliant era for Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Bayern Munich, a time when countless prodigies began their dazzling careers in the football world!
In such a prosperous era, a thirty-year-old loser is once again disillusioned with England, lost in the hustle and bustle of London's streets.
His career seemed to be constantly mired in an abyss, and he never experienced the feeling of being believed by others.
Meanwhile, Claudio Ranieri, the tinkerer, an Italian who also seemed to have never achieved success in football, came to Leicester City to take over the relegation-threatened team.
Two people with similar and unfortunate fates and experiences came together by chance and worked hard to start a reverse growth in their careers!
Years later, when someone asked why he only showed his extraordinary talent at the age of thirty, a late bloomer, it was only then that people realized the truth.
Chen Yufeng replied, "There's no such thing as a late bloomer. I only remember eighteen years, six thousand five hundred and seventy days, playing for five different teams but only making ten appearances. I've never experienced the feeling of stepping onto the field as a starter!"
And it all started when a mascot, a mere tool, obtained a demonic contract...
