"Last-minute winner!!"
"The final minute of the match!"
"A miracle has happened!!"
The live commentator was shouting with joy!
No one could believe what they were seeing!
The English media present at the scene went wild!
Who would've predicted this kind of match before kickoff?
That Chinese teenager everyone had been waiting to laugh at—
Had become the undisputed MVP of the night!!
"Hat-trick of assists!!"
"Kai! The 16-year-old Chinese midfielder, who was recently offloaded by La Masia, now dons the No. 10 shirt and, in his Championship debut, delivered a stunning hat-trick of assists against a top-tier opponent!"
"What a perfect debut!"
"And of course, another hat-trick came from James Vaughan! Once hailed as a Premier League prodigy, tonight he redeemed himself, ending his goal drought in spectacular fashion!"
"Kai's arrival has helped Vaughan break the curse!"
"What a magical night!"
Selhurst Park erupted in thunderous cheers!
A minute later—
The final whistle blew!
Vaughan roared at the sky, tears in his eyes,
Unleashing all the pent-up frustration inside him.
He had finally scored!
Not just once—but a hat-trick!
In a critical match that could decide the club's survival!
He was back!
Everything was back!
Vaughan sprinted toward Kai!
All the Crystal Palace players rushed toward Kai!
They lifted the 16-year-old No. 10 high into the air,
Tossing him up as they chanted his name in unison!
"KAI!!!"
The players cheered with all their hearts!
Vaughan was in tears:
"Before you came, I was seriously thinking of retiring after this season… But I'm only 22! God knows how long it's been since I last scored—it crushed my confidence."
"But thank God you came, Kai! Let's conquer the Championship together!!"
The former prodigy and the current prodigy—22-year-old Vaughan and 16-year-old Kai—embraced tightly.
Past and present talents united in a vivid and emotional scene.
McCarthy, the goalkeeper, wept with joy, crossing himself repeatedly:
"Kai saved me from my disastrous first half… Thank God he was here!"
The stands were in uproar!
Home fans waved beer bottles and detached seats, roaring in celebration!
Those seat cushions they planned to throw onto the pitch in anger during the first half—
Were now props for celebration!
On the other side,
Norwich's away fans looked pale and stunned!
They couldn't understand it, let alone accept it!
From a comfortable 2–0 lead at halftime—
To a crushing comeback and last-minute loss?!
Unbelievable!
There was a clear gap in quality between Norwich and Palace.
One was in the top 3 of the table, the other was rock-bottom, practically relegated already!
On the sidelines, Norwich's manager Daniel stared at the No. 10 figure on the pitch.
His face was filled with mixed emotions.
He let out a heavy sigh.
Kai's key passes left an indelible mark on his mind—
Making Daniel's scalp tingle.
A genius!
An undeniable genius!
What he saw was a dazzling, game-changing midfielder.
But for Daniel, tonight brought only pain.
He walked off with his head down, along with his defeated players.
Back at Selhurst Park—
The celebrations continued.
The Palace cheerleaders didn't leave.
Their eyes sparkled as they gazed at Kai.
The fans had no intention of leaving either.
They kept celebrating in the stands, reveling in this hard-earned victory!
The media didn't rest for a moment.
They rushed to the sidelines with cameras flashing, ready with interview notes.
All of South London's attention had turned to this 16-year-old Chinese boy!
Manager Holloway firmly blocked the swarm of reporters,
Signaling that Kai could only be interviewed for one minute.
He was clearly trying to protect his young star.
"Kai! Your three assists saved Crystal Palace tonight! What do you have to say? After all, this was your professional debut!"
The camera zoomed in on his face.
Kai didn't flinch.
He smiled confidently at the lens.
"This is just the beginning."
"Soon, I'll make the entire English football world remember my name!"
As his words dropped—
The media exploded with shock!
Reporters scrambled to take notes, afraid to miss a single word.
A 16-year-old Championship debutant,
Declaring he would shake all of English football?!
Outrageous!
Was it confidence, or arrogance?
The reporters exchanged astonished looks!
Even Holloway, acting as Kai's "bodyguard," was stunned!
He looked at the boy speaking so confidently to the media—
Was this kid really only 16?!
On and off the pitch,
Holloway could feel an incredible energy from Kai—
One far beyond his years!
"Kai! Can you tell us about your goals after joining Crystal Palace?" another reporter asked quickly.
Kai smiled and glanced at Holloway.
The manager cleared his throat:
"I can answer that on Kai's behalf. As everyone knows, we're a team fighting relegation, so our main goal this season is to surv—"
But before he could finish—
"Our goal this season is promotion!"
Boom!
Kai's words exploded like a bomb!
The media went wild!
Holloway was left stunned, eyes wide open.
Promotion?!
A "relegation team" like Palace aiming for promotion this season?!
But then it hit him—like a divine revelation!
Why not?!
Yes, up until now, Crystal Palace had been a relegation side—
Even drowning in the relegation mire!
But with Kai on board—
This broken team had seen a glimmer of unprecedented hope!
Could a crippled eagle fly again?
Maybe…
Just maybe…
Holloway suddenly felt an overwhelming surge of confidence!
And at that moment—
The Palace players walking off the pitch had just heard Kai's words.
Nearby fans on the stands heard it too!
After a moment of stunned silence—
Selhurst Park erupted once more in roaring cheers!
The fans shouted with everything they had!
The eagle banners fluttered above the stadium!
Promotion!
Let's do it!
Why not?
The players charged toward Kai like they were on fire!
Excitement lit up every face!
They now had a new goal—
A great goal—promotion to the Premier League!
Something they hadn't even dared to dream of before!
Fans cheered wildly,
And the media captured every thrilling second of this moment!
Beneath the South London night sky,
The 16-year-old calmly spoke to the press.
This was a historic night for Crystal Palace!
> "We will march toward the finish line with unprecedented resolve.
It will be difficult. But with passion in our hearts, we will charge forward—
And turn every impossibility into possibility!"
