(Pure football novel ~ Max-level reflexes at the start + rational development + no female lead + no Chinese national team; detailed match and technical descriptions—a fulfilling slow read, a dizzying fast read)

Li Ming transmigrates to the star-studded era before Messi and Ronaldo—the age of princes in football. With maxed-out reflexes, he rises from Atlético Madrid’s youth academy to the La Liga stage. Ronaldo (the original), Zidane, Ronaldinho, Eto’o, Raúl, Villa, and an 18-year-old Messi… With so many legends gathered in La Liga, Li Ming quickly makes a name for himself and becomes the Guardian of Calderón!

At the club, he befriends the 21-year-old Golden Boy Fernando Torres. Defenders like Pablo and Perea also take great care of him. Together, they face the changes sweeping through European football. As a goalkeeper, Li Ming is determined to forge his own era!

Luis Aragonés: I really wanted A-Ming to play for the Spanish national team, but he had already acquired Dutch citizenship. It’s a real pity we couldn’t get him; even if he weren’t a goalkeeper, he’d still be qualified to be my assistant coach!

Marco van Basten: What? Spain wants to poach A-Ming? No way! I’ll even bring out my mentor to help convince him to play for the Netherlands!

Carlos Bianchi: That’s right, I’m A-Ming’s head coach at Atlético. I was the one who started calling him “A-Ming”! I’m just that good at spotting new stars—go ahead and ask those reporters if they dare disagree!

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...

Going back to the beginning of 2006, he became the head coach of Real Madrid. All of his men are superstars with great reputation in the world, such as Ronaldo, Zidane, Raul, Beckham, Casillas, Carlos, Ramo. Si… all of them are ruthless characters who can make the world football tremble by stomping their feet.

How can a humble rookie train these rebellious superstars?

In early 2008, 17-year-old Chinese boy Wang Shuo went to Germany for trial training.

The bad news is that he tried out for 18 teams and failed in all of them.

Good news, the plug-in he has been waiting for is finally here.

Football God, start!

"Lin Yuan, you're fired! Your playing style was too dirty; you're a disgrace to Chinese football!"

A ban forced 18-year-old Lin Yuan to leave for Portugal, carrying a bad reputation.

Everyone thought this rough guy who only knew how to fight with his body would eventually give up.

Until that season, a true beast emerged from Boavista's checkerboard stadium.

Some call him the "midfield meat grinder" because wherever he is, it becomes the opponent's nightmare.

Some call him the "ankle terminator," and even Messi and Neymar have to be careful to avoid him.

Some even call him a "tyrant" because as long as he's on the field, he controls the rhythm of the game!

...

Three years later, the Champions League final.

Lin Yuan switched to a top club, donned a new uniform, led his team to the top of Europe, and lifted the "Big Ears Cup".

He also won the Ballon d'Or that year, becoming the new king of football.

Facing the swarm of Chinese football associations seeking reconciliation, Lin Yuan gave a cold smile to the camera:

"Sorry, I'm just a dirty hooligan who plays football, I'm not worthy of your noble football."

Saka: I suspect Jiang is a robot, he evolves every season;

Ronaldo: This is the first time Jiang took the initiative to exchange jerseys with me? To be honest, I wanted to refuse at that time;

Kane: What do you think of Jiang? I invited him to join the England team three times;

Guardiola: It's a waste to let Jiang play as a full-back. I have a better idea, but I can't tell Arteta;

Messi: Jiang watched videos to learn my free kicks? I watched that guy play football and I like his purity;

A Chinese teenager abandoned by Tottenham Hotspur embarked on an omnipotent football journey because of the Rubik's Cube in his mind.

Countless geniuses in world football shine like meteors, fleeting and dazzling, leaving behind only endless "what ifs." No Nerazzurri player has ever grieved for their "King" Adriano, and no Rossoneri player has ever underestimated the potential of Pato. Had Pogba not fallen on hard times, Levante might have become only the third team to successfully defend the World Cup title. Had Deisler lived up to his potential, would Germany have already lifted the World Cup on home soil? The world wonders: what would have happened if Balotelli had a normal mind? What if Baggio hadn't suffered the injuries that would have forced most people to quit sports? What if Bojan hadn't suffered anxiety? What if... injuries are relentless, and self-discipline is hard to maintain. The tragedy of football's "Zhongyong" (a misfortune) never ceases. In his previous life, Lin Qiu, lacking talent, was unable to step onto the pitch of his dreams. Reborn in 2014, he activated the [Fallen Starlight] system, gaining the ability to access the unrealized talents of these prodigies. At the same time, he discovered that the system's functions went beyond this... The lost stars converged in Lin Qiu, forming a new galaxy, carrying those talents that had never been fully realized. Lin Qiu decided: to reach the top of the football world and become the undisputed king!

In the summer of 2003, Brazilian star Kaka stepped into Milan City in a low-key manner; Portuguese teenager Cristiano Ronaldo flew to Manchester with controversy; the unknown Messi looked up at the newly joined superstar Ronaldinho in La Masia Austria … In a small unknown team in the Netherlands, there is a waste that is about to be eliminated, but it is looking forward to becoming the world’s top superstar and set off a super storm in European football.
