"He's growing up in the shadows of European football. But when his home country calls, will he rise—or fall with the weight of a forgotten nation?"
In the world of football, strength and speed are often the ultimate measures of a player’s worth. But Arghana is different. He’s not the fastest, nor the strongest—but he possesses something far more elusive: a cognitive edge that lets him understand and mimic the game in ways others can’t.
From amateur leagues to the professional stage, he faces more than just opponents. There are expectations, pressures, and the limitations of his own body to overcome. As a non-European player, his battle isn’t just to earn a spot on the team—it’s to prove that football isn’t only about physicality. It’s about intelligence, instincts, and the artistry of the game.
Slowly, his journey expands beyond the pitch: management, investments, and the creation of new football clubs.
How far can his unique gifts take him?

I'm looking forward to the rest of the story, I hope the author doesn't abandon his novel. It's rare to have authors with such a style. The MC is not a fool, he knows his strengths and weaknesses. And let's be honest it's so refreshing to have an MC from an Asian country other than China.
