At 26, Portuguese footballer Tobi Oliveira ended his life, crushed by regret and failure. But fate gives him a second chance—sending him ten years back to when he was just 16, with a mysterious football system and all the memories of his past.

Now, with raw talent, real hunger, and the unwavering support of his mother-agent and football-loving little sister, Tobi is determined to rewrite his story. From Sporting CP to Valencia’s first team, he must juggle brutal training, school, media pressure, and the emotional weight of his past life.

But success doesn’t come easy. His stats drop in the pros. Not every match ends in victory. And greatness demands more than just skill—it demands heart.

As the team bus rolled into the away ground near Florence, Tobi stared out the window, watching the droplets race each other across the glass.

His hands were shaking slightly—not from fear, but from tension. This wasn't just another game.

It was his chance to earn respect—not as a viral talent, but as a real footballer.

Portugal U17 vs. Italy U17 – Rematch Friendly

When the line-up was announced in the dressing room, there was a hush.

"Tobi Oliveira, central midfield," Coach Barros said firmly.

But Tobi wasn't listening to doubts—not theirs, not his own.

The Italians pressed hard, but he learned from last time. He didn't hold onto the ball for too long. He moved. Adjusted. Adapted.

Coach Barros yelled from the sidelines, "Good tempo, Oliveira!"

An Italian winger lost the ball in midfield.

Tobi pounced—read the mistake, intercepted, and immediately burst forward.

Tobi curved a perfectly weighted diagonal pass between two defenders.

He just nodded, then pointed to the coaching bench.

Barros gave a small approving clap.

— Small boost to passing tempo and awareness

Trying to dribble out of danger near his own box, Tobi slipped on the slick grass.

He wanted to bury his face in the mud.

His teammates didn't scream at him.

He just looked at him and said, "You're not perfect. Don't try to be. Be reliable. Be honest. Understand your limits."

"Also," Coach added. "Next time, hoof it out."

Directed João and the left-back constantly.

The game ended 2–1 for Portugal.

João scored the winner, but it was Tobi who had laid the foundation.

As the team celebrated, Tobi sat quietly, breathing hard.
