So what if I'm just strolling around the field? My shots are guaranteed to go in.

The dust has barely settled from El Clásico, and the La Liga season has already rolled into the latter half of October.

At 4 PM on October 23, Real Madrid will host Athletic Bilbao at the Bernabéu Stadium.

This was the first league match after El Clásico, and all 85,000 seats were sold out.

Madrid fans are still basking in the afterglow of their incredible victory at Camp Nou five days ago.

From the start of the warm-up, the die-hard fans in the south stand kept chanting Lin Fan's name repeatedly.

They sang "Lin Fen" throughout the Bernabéu using the melody of "Hey Jude".

Lin Fan didn't keep them waiting too long.

In the twelfth minute of the first half, Modric delivered a penetrating through ball from midfield, which passed between two Athletic Bilbao midfielders and rolled precisely into Lin Fan's running path.

Lin Fan made a diagonal run into the penalty area from the right wing. Facing the onrushing goalkeeper, he did not choose a conventional shot, but instead gently flicked the ball with the outside of his left foot—the ball drew a strange arc and slipped under the goalkeeper's arm and into the goal.

At the Bernabéu, 85,000 people stood up simultaneously and made a gesture of worship.

This is Lin Fan's eleventh goal in La Liga this season, and the league has only just completed ten rounds.

In the 27th minute, Real Madrid won a corner kick.

Modric passed the ball to Lin Fan on the edge of the penalty area. Lin Fan looked up at the crowd in the penalty area—Ramos was roaming at the far post, sandwiched between two Athletic Bilbao defenders.

Lin Fan didn't pass a high ball, but instead sent a low, curved ball that bypassed the defender at the near post and rolled precisely to Ramos's feet.

The Real Madrid captain didn't even need to adjust; he simply poked the ball into the goal with his toe. Two-nil.

In the 63rd minute of the second half, Lin Fan provided another assist.

He received a pass from Casemiro in midfield, and without stopping the ball, he sent out a long, low pass of over forty meters with the outside of his right foot.

The ball slid at high speed across the grass, bypassing Athletic Bilbao's entire pressing defense, and found Bale making a high-speed run down the left flank.

The Welshman went one-on-one with the goalkeeper and slotted the ball into the far corner. Three to zero.

One goal and two assists. Lin Fan continues his amazing record of scoring or assisting in every game.

After the match, someone in the stands held up a new sign that read in Spanish: "Lin, please stop, we are human beings."

The camera captured this image, and the broadcast signal from all over the world sent it to the eyes of hundreds of millions of viewers.

In Marca's ratings section, Lin Fan's name was followed by the highest score of 9.5.

But this time, the comment was summed up in one sentence: "We no longer want to comment on him. Words simply don't do it justice."

On October 26th, in the eleventh round of La Liga, Real Madrid played away against Alaves.

The Mendiso Rosa Stadium is located at the foot of a mountain, where the Basque region experiences continuous rain in October, making the grass as slippery as a bar of soap.

These field conditions are a nightmare for technical players—the ball's rolling speed and bounce pattern on the ground are completely unpredictable. But this did not affect Lin Fan's performance in the slightest.

In the 19th minute, he received a cross from Kroos just outside the penalty area.

Alaves' midfielder had pressed him to within a meter of him. Lin Fan used the sole of his right foot to pull the ball back a step, shaking off the pressing player. Then, he quickly switched to the inside of his foot with the same foot and curled a shot out.

The ball curved dramatically in the slippery air, bypassing the goalkeeper's fingertips as he made a diving save, and nestled into the top right corner of the goal.

This is his twelfth league goal of the season.

In the 72nd minute of the second half, he dribbled inside from the right wing, attracting the attention of three defenders.

Chaos erupted in the penalty area as Ronaldo and Benzema made runs, but were tightly marked by Alaves' defenders.

Lin Fan didn't force a shot or risk a cross—he suddenly flicked the ball behind him with his heel while dribbling at high speed.

The ball rolled to the edge of the penalty area, where Modric was already waiting.

The Croatian player met the ball and volleyed it into the bottom left corner of the goal, the ball skimming along the grass.

2-0. Another goal and an assist.

After the match, Alaves' head coach said in a tone of almost helplessness at the press conference: "We studied all of Lin Fan's touches in the El Clásico and developed a special defensive plan."

We held him off for the first fifteen minutes. But he found a way to break through in just four minutes.

You can't target a player like that.

Because his playing style is created on the spot, not pre-written.

On October 29th, in the 12th round of La Liga, Real Madrid will host Leganés.

This newly promoted team arrived in Madrid with the determination to "at least take a point from the Bernabéu".

Their head coach said something at the pre-match press conference that has been repeatedly quoted since: "We will use ten men to defend, eleven if possible."

Leganés' ten-man defensive formation began to take shape in the attacking third – their forwards dropped back to the midfield line, their midfielders retreated to the edge of the penalty area, and their defenders were almost positioned on the goal line.

For the first seventy minutes, the score of 0-0 on the board weighed heavily on the hearts of everyone at the Bernabéu.

Leganés' goalkeeper seemed to have superhuman abilities, making saves from a combined six shots on target by Ronaldo, Benzema, and Modric.

The Bernabéu fans began to get anxious.

Boos were heard from the stands – not at Real Madrid, but at Leganés for their passive play.

But there's more of a sense of oppressive tension: Real Madrid may drop points at home for the first time this season.

In the 73rd minute, Ancelotti made a crucial tactical adjustment – ​​he moved Lin Fan from midfield to the forward line, forming a three-striker formation with Ronaldo and Benzema.

This is a do-or-die signal: Lin Fan is no longer needed to drop back and organize the attack; his only task is to score goals.

The adjustment took effect in just four minutes.

Marcelo crossed from the left, and the ball flew towards the six-yard box.

Lin Fan got ahead of the two center-backs and started moving. His body was sandwiched between the two defenders, and his shooting angle was completely blocked.

But at the moment he touched the ball, he did something no one expected—he flicked the ball toward the goal with his heel.

The ball went between the goalkeeper's legs and rolled into the net.

One to zero.

That was the only goal of the match. When the referee blew the final whistle, the cheers at the Bernabéu almost lifted the roof off.

Leganés' coach stood on the sidelines, hands on his hips, his face displaying a complex and indescribable expression—not anger, not frustration, but a resigned calm.

He walked up to Lin Fan, extended his hand, and said something.

The lip-reading expert later interpreted the statement on social media: "I studied all your game footage and devised a specific defensive strategy. But your movement—my players couldn't keep up with it."

On November 2nd, in the fourth round of the Champions League group stage, Real Madrid played away against Porto.

This is a crucial match in the group stage – if Real Madrid wins, they can secure first place in the group and advance to the knockout stage two rounds early.

The Portuguese fans at the Estádio do Dragão are known for their fervor, booing deafeningly from the very start of warm-up.

A huge banner was unfurled in the stands, which read in Portuguese: "Welcome to the real hell."

Lin Fan silenced this "hell" in the 21st minute of the first half.

He received a pass back from Ronaldo 30 meters outside the penalty area—the Portuguese player was facing his former club in this match, and every time he touched the ball, he was accompanied by a deafening roar of boos.

After passing the ball to Lin Fan, Ronaldo immediately moved forward, drawing away two defenders.

Lin Fan looked up at the goal; Porto's goalkeeper was positioned slightly forward.

Without hesitation, he met the ball with a powerful shot.

The ball, like a cannonball, with almost no spin, struck the lower edge of the goalpost and bounced into the net.

Zero to one.

The Estádio do Dragão was silent for a moment, then the four thousand Real Madrid fans who had traveled with the team erupted in a frenzied shout.

Shortly after the start of the second half, Porto equalized from a set piece.

The center-back outjumped Varane to head the ball into the net from a corner kick, sending the Estádio do Dragão into a frenzy.

But just eight minutes later, Lin Fan received a pass from Modric on the right side of the penalty area.

He faced the goalkeeper and raised his foot in a shooting posture—Porto's goalkeeper and two defenders blocked him at the same time.

But when Lin Fan's foot landed, the ball wasn't struck towards the goal; instead, it was gently passed sideways to the left.

Cristiano Ronaldo was perfectly positioned and slotted the ball into the empty net. 1-2.

Lin Fan ran towards Cristiano Ronaldo, and the two embraced in the corner flag area.

Cristiano Ronaldo ruffled Lin Fan's hair and shouted a sentence into the camera lens, his lips clearly visible: "This is my boy!"

Real Madrid ultimately won the match 2-1, securing the top spot in the group with two rounds to spare.

Throughout October, Lin Fan played six matches – four league matches and two Champions League matches.

He scored a goal in every game and provided an assist in every game.

Six games, seven goals, nine assists.

This data, applied to any top player in any top league, would be enough to be called the "best month of their career."

But for Lin Fan, this was just his routine procedure.

There was no suspense in the La Liga Player of the Month award for October.

The La Liga official judging committee unanimously awarded the award to Lin Fan in an internal vote.

In his award presentation statement, La Liga president Javier Tebas said, "There have been many great players in the history of this league. But I have never seen a player perform like this in a single month. He's not just about goals and assists—he's redefining the meaning of 'consistency' in football."

When the MVP trophy was delivered to the Valdebebas training base, Lin Fan was practicing free kicks.

He took the trophy, glanced at it, then placed it in the corner of the locker room and turned back to the training field to continue shooting free throws.

The venue manager later described the scene to the media, saying, "The trophy sat in the corner for the entire afternoon. Lin didn't even glance at it again."

In the six matches in October, Messi and Ronaldo also delivered outstanding performances on their respective fields.

Messi scored six goals in four league games for Barcelona, ​​including a hat-trick against Valencia – in which he made three impeccable shots with his left foot to help Barcelona come from behind to win 4-2.

In the match against Sevilla, he provided two more assists: a backheel pass to Suarez and a long over-the-top pass to Neymar.

Barcelona won all four of their matches in October, with Messi playing a crucial role in their victory.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored three goals and provided two assists in four league matches in October, maintaining his excellent form.

The statistics of the three superstars are like three rockets tied together, rushing into the atmosphere at the same time.

In early November, Marca created a chart comparing the three individuals' data from October, using three colors to highlight them, covering the entire front page.

Messi: Four appearances, six goals, two assists, directly involved in eight goals.

Cristiano Ronaldo: Four appearances, three goals, two assists, directly involved in five goals.

Lin Fan: Four appearances, four goals, six assists, directly involved in ten goals.

In terms of the total number of goals directly involved, Lin Fan leads Messi and Ronaldo with ten goals each.

In terms of assists, Lin Fan's six assists are twice the combined total of the other two.

This comparison image has been shared more than three million times on social media.

In the comments section, the three fan groups were arguing fiercely, with each post filled with hostility and screenshots as evidence.

"Did you see that?" Ronaldo's fans were the first to fire. "What level of opponents did Messi face at Barcelona? Can Valencia and Sevilla's midfield defense compare to Athletic Bilbao's? Ronaldo was facing a Basque meat grinder, and he still managed to score three goals!"

Messi's fans immediately retorted: "Different level opponents? Then look at Messi's performance in El Clásico—a hat-trick! 98,000 people at Camp Nou! Facing Real Madrid's entire defense! Three goals, each one a work of art!"

Then Lin Fan's fans slowly released a more detailed data chart—a comparison of the time required for each of the three players to score a goal or provide an assist in October.

Messi: Directly involved in a goal every 45 minutes.

Cristiano Ronaldo: Directly involved in a goal every 61 minutes.

Lin Fan: Directly involved in one goal every thirty-nine minutes.

"Efficiency," Lin Fan's fans replied with just one word, "That's efficiency."

As November arrived, the competition among the three not only failed to cool down, but intensified even further.

The media is also happy to see this happen, because this "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is generating unprecedented traffic for them.

Before each league match, sports media conduct special pre-match comparative analysis, using a large number of charts and data to predict the performance of the three players in this round.

After each league match, these analyses are updated, forming a continuous data curve.

Amidst this competition, the 13th round of the league quietly arrived.

Real Madrid's opponent is their city rival, Atlético Madrid.

The Madrid derby, second only to El Clásico in terms of viewership in La Liga, is about to kick off.
