Fox in the Penalty Area

The new book is finally available to everyone.

I took a long break after finishing my last book.

This is the first time I've had such a long break, two books in a row.

I found that as I grew older and my children grew up, I faced more and more things, and the rest time I needed to finish each book became longer and longer.

In the past, if I could take a month off, it would be considered a long break.

Considering that I am almost forty and have been writing about the same subject for seventeen years, it seems normal.

If I could continue writing at the same speed as when I wrote about heroes in the penalty area and winner takes all, then there would be a problem...

During these few months of rest, I read some books, caught up on some movies, played some games, and also took the time to think about what kind of book I wanted to write.

The original idea for this book came to me when I was finishing the last volume of my previous book.

But things like what this book is going to talk about didn’t just exist at that time, but existed earlier, long before the writing of "Greenery". Yes, this idea came to me late in the process of writing "Heart of a Champion."

I have been writing about football for seventeen years. I have written about campus football (Do you care if I play football? I am born a loser), I have written about professional football (We are champions, etc.), I have written about it from the perspective of players, and I have written about it from the perspective of coaches. I also wrote about the perspective.

I will definitely continue to write, but what else can I write?

In my last book about Icardi, I made up a fictional character of Icardi, and I also explained this matter specifically.

Because before that, I wanted to write about a completely fictional football world.

This idea became stronger and stronger as I wrote "Lush Green", and finally made me make up my mind.

If there is something that I feel strongly about writing about, then I should write about it.

To this end, I had a long chat with the editor-in-chief.

Changtian is a good editor. He didn’t tell me what I should write or what I shouldn’t write. He just analyzed the two situations for me, put them in front of me, and let me choose.

He told me that if I continue to write traditional football novels based on real-life professional football, my performance in electronic subscriptions should be guaranteed. After all, I have written such stories for so many years, and everyone is familiar with them and has a basic base.

But he also agreed with my desire to forge a new path, and just told me to be prepared to lose grades.

I thought about it and decided to write this book, a fictional novel that is not based on the real football world and has unlimited possibilities for the football world.

In this world I created, there are no names of clubs and stars that we are familiar with, nor are there those football stories and histories that we talk about.

Everything is new, everything can be shaped, and I will be the God of this world, shaping the characters and stories according to my wishes, and conveying to you everything I want to tell.

The difference from the original traditional football novel is that I will not worry about writing this way that is not in line with the characters of Messi and Ronaldo. I don’t have to worry about wealthy fans coming to scold me for hacking their home team. I don’t have to be limited by what has already happened. Or historical facts that didn’t happen.

Of course, this will inevitably reduce a lot of the sense of substitution.

But as I said before, I am mentally prepared for my results to fail. No matter what, I have to give it a try.

Trying it again when I'm about to turn forty.

So this is a very willful book. I am very willful about the idea of ​​​​this book, and I am also very willful about the book itself. I think and write willfully.

This time I just wanted to write a story I wanted to write about, and about the people I wanted to write about.

If you happen to also like my willful story and those willful people, that would be great.
