In the summer of 2003, football saw iconic arrivals: Brazilian prodigy Kaká began his journey in Milan with quiet confidence, while Cristiano Ronaldo made waves in Manchester amidst controversy. Meanwhile, an emerging Lionel Messi admired the flair of Ronaldinho at La Masia. Amidst these giants, a 16-year-old Chinese talent stands on the brink of obscurity in a small Dutch team. Undeterred, he dreams of becoming the best player in the world and igniting a storm across European football. As he embarks on a transformative journey through top European clubs, this young prodigy’s relentless pursuit of greatness will reshape the continent's football landscape.

Update Schedule Notice:

From now on, updates for Echoes of Greatness and Millwall will be released on the 20th of each month.
If you’d like to read ahead and get faster updates — including access to other stories I haven’t published on Webnovel yet — you can check out my Patreon: MTL Reforged.
Of course, if you can’t join, no worries — I’ll still keep updating once a month here. Patreon just gets the advanced chapters and extra content.

I received some big news today: I will be starting my basic military training next week. I've been waiting for this since May 2025, so it came as quite a surprise when it finally arrived so suddenly.


Because of this, I won't be able to publish any new chapters for the next 3 months. I'm really sorry for the unexpected break, especially for those who have been following the story regularly on Webnovel.


Thank you so much to all of you for your support and for sticking with the story. I really appreciate every single reader.


I'll do my best to come back stronger once my training is finished and continue the novel from where we left off.
