The actual football content is good, the games are described in good detail, tactics are in place and you can suspend your disbelief to enjoy a super goalkeeper. What’s dragging this story down by this point (chapter 200) is the increased focus on the Chinese National team, it’s all nonsense. The league is corrupt? Disband the entire league, sack the management, naturalize 10 Spanish players and win the World Cup (it’s getting there, the MC has conceded 2 goals in 2 years, and that’s because it was Messi and Ronaldo). It’s getting ridiculous, you can have a story about the national football team, but be realistic, you have a miraculous goalkeeper you never concedes goals, good, but then your problem is the attack. It would make more sense for the Chinese team to advance in the World Cup because of MC but in the end failing because they can’t score. That way it’s satisfying to readers because MC proves his worth but it’s also realistic in that the Chinese team is nothing to write home about. I was enjoying this story, but as the World Cup keeps getting dragged in its getting more stale and boring. 3/5 for the first 180 chapters, then going downhill

All the mtl football novels out there none of them has a non Chinese mc, 99.99% of the mc’s are Chinese. And for some reason I can’t fathom Messi and Ronaldo will somehow bow to them like comon! 😑🫠🤦‍♂️
