The God of Football starts with passive skills

Chapter 67 The Magician Wang Shuo! When Wang Shuo starts showing off his skills! Wang Shuo: Marco, do you want to score a goal tonight?

As evening fell, the Dortmund players finished a hard day of training.

Everyone dragged their exhausted bodies home to pack their bags.

Klopp is a fucking devil!

Everyone has personally experienced the pain of playing under Klopp.

Tomorrow is an important match, so today we had high-intensity training.

Isn't he worried about the team's performance in tomorrow's game?
But some people enjoy it immensely.

Because he harbored a restless heart.

For example, Wang Shuo.

Even though Klopp's grueling summer training was enough to drain everyone's energy, Wang Shuo still insisted on staying behind for extra practice after each training session.

Left foot, free kick, shot...

He never made any demands on anyone.

But unbeknownst to him, a group of people always quietly gathered around him, taking turns to practice with him.

They are all young people in their early twenties, without family burdens or life troubles, and with inexhaustible energy every day!
On the field, Wang Shuo is taking on two opponents at once, facing the combined efforts of Kuba and Grosskreutz.

The three guys fought until they were drenched in sweat, but they were still full of fighting spirit.

To Feulner, Subotic, and others on the sidelines, these were hardly three players.

It's basically three red-eyed fighting roosters pecking at each other.

Of course, those weaklings were eliminated long ago.

“I heard from Dede that Brazilians have an incredible magic.”

After resting for a while, Subotic regained his energy.

This is the advantage of young people.

"What kind of magic?" Foyle asked, seemingly eager to play the straight man.

"They can turn any place into a street football field anytime, anywhere."

"A rope, a piece of wood, anything can be a goal."

Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.

That's really how it is.

"I heard that back when Barcelona had a lot of Brazilians, they really did play street football by just pulling a rope between them." Reus had read this news report.

“Hey, are you planning to play street soccer too? I’ll play with you,” Mario Götze said eagerly.

Subotic gave the young man a disapproving look.

This 17-year-old is a well-known prodigy at Borussia Dortmund, with truly exceptional footwork.

Play street soccer with him?
Apart from Wang Shuo, it seemed that no one on the team was interested in this.

At the very least, Subotic isn't sick.

"What I want to say is that if Brazilians really have this kind of magic, then the magic of the Chinese is that no matter where they go, they can inspire everyone around them to be ambitious and hardworking."

"Even though I was suffering inside, I still couldn't help but follow him."

Subotic's words echoed the sentiments of everyone around him.

Klopp's training must be tough enough, right?

After enduring Klopp's rigorous training, having to train with Wang Shuo again would be adding insult to injury.

The problem is, they still enjoy it immensely.

“Because we’re so eager to improve!” Feulner sighed.

The crowd burst into laughter again.

But who can argue with that?

They're all around 20 years old, who would be willing to let their career stagnate?

A few days ago, a sentence was heard in Bartlett's gym.

Wang Shuo aspires to become the best player in the world!

No one would question his ambition, nor would anyone question his potential.

Putting everything else aside, just look at his rate of progress...

“Marcus, when did he develop his left foot?” Subotic asked, puzzled.

Feulner shook his head. "How would I know?"

"I remember when I left Mainz, his left foot was practically crippled, but now look at his left foot, it's not exactly the same as his right foot, but it's at least 80% as strong as it used to be."

Everyone was moved after hearing this.

Even Klopp said that Wang Shuo trained his left foot so hard that he could do it himself, and called on everyone to learn from Wang Shuo.

"He probably practiced secretly in China during his vacation," Feulner guessed.

Subotic also thought it made sense.

"Originally, I was fast and powerful enough with just my right foot, but now I have my left foot too. Oh my god, what am I going to do?"

Just then, a wail came from the stadium.

"Holy crap, is this some kind of foul? Red card!"

"Don't pull down my pants, you shameless bastard!"

Everyone looked towards the field.

At this moment, even with Kuba and Grosskreutz working together, they couldn't take the ball from Wang Shuo's feet.

Finally, the two were so angry that Grosskreutz grabbed Wang Shuo tightly from behind, and Kuba rushed over to steal the ball, even secretly pulling at Wang Shuo's shorts...

When the crowd on the sidelines saw this, they all started to cheer.

"Wow, I'm so excited!"

"Wang, how about your brother takes you to a nightclub in Düsseldorf?"

"I know a lot of young models."

The end result was that Kuba was chased and "beaten up" by Wang Shuo.

As Subotic said.

For some reason, Wang Shuo seems to have a special, magical magnetic field about him.

It is able to attract many young people of similar age who want to work hard and make progress together.

Then, they easily became friends.

For these young people around 20 years old, professional football doesn't involve much backstabbing and infighting.

Even if there are positional conflicts and competition, it is mostly a healthy competition between them.

Of course, not everyone will participate.

Older people like Kyle and Dede wouldn't.

And Shaheen, he won't participate either.

Hummels sometimes stays, but not as often as Subotic.

However, when it comes to young models, many people get excited.

Thank you, Heidi Klum!
After rising to fame during the 06 World Cup, Heidi Klum, as a world-class supermodel, launched various supermodel talent shows in Germany, which attracted a lot of attention and excitement.

That's how Lina Gerke became famous.

Many young models are also emerging.

Moreover, female celebrities in the European entertainment industry love to associate themselves with football.

Dortmund is not a big city, and there is basically no nightlife here.

The shops all close at night.

There are bars and nightclubs in the city center, but they are not very large.

If you want to meet young models or female celebrities, you have to go to nightclubs in big cities like Düsseldorf.

"Your Majesty, if you're going, be sure to let me know in advance. I'll make the arrangements, and there will definitely be a whole bunch of beauties lining up for you to choose from," Feulner shouted.

This kid came from Bayern Munich's youth academy and has spent a lot of time in nightclubs.

But Wang Shuo's current goal is not nightclubs.

It's not about women either.

Instead, it's in the Europa League.

Dortmund's results in their several friendly matches have been mixed.

The players are still adapting to Klopp's tactics.

The main problem is a lack of teamwork.

This is very dangerous.

If even two players fail to execute the strategy properly, Klopp's tactics will be significantly less effective.

Therefore, Klopp's meaning is that during this period, they will have to rely on Wang Shuo's attack.

By putting pressure on the opponent through offense, the team can mask its problems.

The prize money for the Europa League is actually not much.

Even if they win the championship, the prize money is only a little over 7 million euros.

To qualify for the group stage, each team will receive 65 euros, with an appearance fee of only 6 euros. A win will earn 14 euros, while a draw will earn only 7 euros.

Even if they win all 6 matches, the appearance fee would only be 185 million, and advancing to the round of 32 would only earn them 20.

That's exactly 200 million euros.

So, it was really very shabby.

But for Dortmund, who are just starting out, being eliminated in the qualifiers would be a really bad thing.

Especially considering that their opponent in the third round of qualifiers is Randers of Denmark.

Incidentally, just yesterday, July 20th, the German Super Cup was held at the Volkswagen Arena in Wolfsburg.

Tuchel's Mainz went all out, but still lost 1-2 to Wolfsburg.

Schürrle scored a goal.

However, this was not an official competition, but a friendly match.

Unlike the other three top leagues, Germany does not actually have a Super Cup.

The German Football Association created the Super Cup in 1987, but it only lasted for 10 years and was discontinued in 1996.

Since 1997, the Super Cup has been a league cup with six teams participating.

However, the League Cup remains largely ignored.

The tournament has been held 11 times, with Bayern Munich reaching the final 7 times and winning 6 times, giving them a clear advantage.

Other teams have no interest in playing with Bayern.

Rummenigge has also proposed further reforms, such as scheduling the competition during the winter break and placing the matches in regions like Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, thus turning it into an event promoted overseas.

But in the end, nothing ever came of it.

After the League Cup was discontinued in 2008, Bayern Munich made an agreement with Borussia Dortmund.

The two teams, the Bundesliga champions and the German Cup champions of the 07/08 season, played a "Super Cup" together.

This has aroused very strong indignation.

Especially within the professional football league, everyone unanimously opposed recognizing the competition.

Interestingly, Borussia Dortmund's president, Raubal, is also the president of the Professional Football League, and he did not participate in the vote.

Ultimately, after negotiations among all parties, it was decided that 20% of the broadcast revenue from the matches would be donated to the professional league.

This finally calmed the dispute down.

This year, the "Super Cup" between Wolfsburg and Mainz will finally be able to continue.

Why did Wang Shuo take this matter so seriously?

Because Gao Huai-ren had talked to him about this matter before.

He believes that the purpose of industrializing professional football is to integrate the entire industry chain, from managers, clubs, teams, youth training institutions, coaches, players and staff, and even youth teams...

Everyone and every link in the entire industrial chain can benefit from it.

After arriving in Germany, Wang Shuo discovered that the German league wasn't actually that formal.

They are constantly changing, changing over and over again.

Various conflicts of interest also emerge one after another.

It's like the "Super Cup".

Believe it or not?
If this cup competition continues to improve, it will definitely be incorporated into the German Football Association or the professional football league next season and immediately become a regular event.

There were also reforms to the lower-level leagues, which were changed almost every year. The Germans themselves found it all a mess.

But here is the problem.

Wang Shuo didn't understand.

Given how chaotic things are, why is German football getting better and better?

Will talent continue to emerge?
After Wang Shuo and others finished their extra training, they returned to the locker room to shower and change clothes.

Tomorrow is the first leg of the third round of the Europa League qualifiers, an away game against Randers of Denmark.

The journey from Dortmund, Germany to Landes, Denmark is 750 kilometers.

If you take the train, it will take a full 13 hours.

Are you driving a bus?

Approximately 7 hours.

airplane?

Sorry, I can't get there.

Therefore, for tomorrow night's match, Dortmund will depart this evening, arrive in Randers in the middle of the night, and check into a local hotel.

I'll rest during the day tomorrow and have the match in the evening.

……

On the evening of July 30, at Cepheid Park Stadium in Randers, Denmark.

In the first leg of the third round of the Europa League qualifiers, Borussia Dortmund will travel to face Randers.

This is Borussia Dortmund's first official match of the season!

Although the team had just undergone grueling, high-intensity training, although the players still hadn't been able to execute Klopp's tactics perfectly, although the players' coordination was still quite raw, although...

But this did not prevent Dortmund from dominating Randers from the very beginning with their superior strength.

If you were to ask Wang Shuo, what's the difference between playing for Borussia Dortmund and Mainz?
Wang Shuo gave the first option without hesitation.

free!

He found it difficult to describe that feeling in detail.

Back in Mainz, he always felt like he was being weighed down by a mountain called responsibility.

On the left flank, Feulner's pressing wasn't strong enough; on the right flank, Heller dropped too deep; and in the center, Hainaul couldn't break through...

When his teammates are always easily contained by the opponents, Wang Shuo needs to consider more issues.

Pull to the side, retreat, move forward...

Often, he was forced to follow the changing circumstances.

It felt like being in the middle of a raging torrent.

But what about Dortmund?
From the very first minute of the match, he had a sense of control over the entire game.

Klopp used a 4-2-3-1 formation in this match.

Goalkeeper: Weidenfeller;
Defense: Dede, Hummels, Subotic and Owomoyela;

Midfield: Sahin and Kehl form the double pivot, with Grosskreutz, Feulner and Kuba in front;

Forward: Wang Shuo.

This is the starting lineup that Klopp fielded for this match.

As the team's starting striker and the core of Dortmund's attack, Wang Shuo has been in charge of all the team's offensive and defensive tasks in the frontcourt. This is a heavy responsibility that head coach Klopp has given him.

Klopp believed that Wang Shuo was the one who could best understand and interpret his tactical intentions.

Just like this time, which was only 10 minutes into the game.

In their first match of the new season, both teams started slowly.

They didn't play very well for the first 10 minutes.

Feulner's pass was intercepted by Randers' right center-back Mads Finger.

Wang Shuo stood between the two center-backs and immediately called out to Feulner, signaling him to keep an eye on Sané, the number 31 player from Randers' midfield who was dropping deep. He then ran sideways towards Fingel.

Since Wang Shuo's position was almost level with the two center-backs, his lateral runs cut off the possibility of Fingel passing the ball to the left center-back, Freiberg.

Therefore, Fingel was left with two choices.

The ball could be passed back to goalkeeper Ellergard, or to right-back Soren Petersen.

With the help of [Insight] and [Hawk Eye], Wang Shuo's ability to read and understand the game is very fast. Almost as soon as Fingel receives the ball, he sprints over to press him at top speed.

If the pass is passed back to the goalkeeper with too much force, it could result in an own goal or the ball going out of bounds and becoming a corner kick.

If you use too little force, and Wang Shuo intercepts it with a change of direction, then it will be a one-on-one situation.

On the surface, Fingel had a choice, but in reality, he had no choice.

As soon as Wang Shuo made a move, Grosskreutz on the left flank followed suit immediately.

When Fingel passed the ball to Søren Petersen, Großkreutz had already rushed up to the Randers right-back.

Wang Shuo had already rushed to Fingel's side.

This is a defensive and pressing style that Klopp excels at.

Sideline!

While manpower is limited, making good use of the sidelines and turning them into allies is undoubtedly a good option.

Just like now.

Soren Petersen was forced to the wing.

As soon as he moved back, Wang Shuo was no longer at risk of going offside and immediately followed suit.

Wang Shuo's presence made it impossible for Soren Petersen to pass the ball to the goalkeeper or to Fingel.

But the turning point came with Grosskreutz.

This reckless man hadn't grasped the coach's intentions and didn't pay attention in time; he lunged forward, trying to steal the ball.

The results of it?
30-year-old Søren Petersen may not have much else, but he's very experienced. He kicked the ball directly at Grosskreutz's leg, sending it out of bounds and turning it into a goal kick.

Wang Shuo shook his head as he read it.

"Kevin, don't step! Don't step!"

I've already blocked all his passing lanes. If you can shut him down and force him to pass the ball, you'll be a threat.

Grosskreutz was clearly still confused and didn't understand.

Wang Shuo immediately ran over, put his arm around his shoulder, and broke through the barrier between them.

The kid suddenly realized what was going on.

"I'll be more careful next time."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I understand." Grosskreutz said with gratitude.

Wang Shuo waved his hand, indicating that everything was fine.

The main problem is that the players are not familiar with the head coach's tactics. Give them more time and they will understand.

Moreover, Klopp used Großkreutz because he valued Großkreutz's running ability.

Reus is good at attacking, while Grosskreutz is good at running and covering.

And there's Kuba.

These three will definitely be rotated next.

Wang Shuo will guide them and help them adapt as quickly as possible, which will make things easier for him.

Then he can focus all his energy on the attack.

……

Despite Dortmund employing a 4-2-3-1 formation, in reality, both full-backs can only be on one side at a time.

Because of the two defensive midfielders, only Kehl is dedicated to defense and covering.

Which side to choose depends on the situation on the field.

The two center-backs, Hummels and Subotic, and Sahin, who is on the left side of the double pivot, are truly responsible for distributing the ball from the back.

Sahin is a left-footed player, and he often makes forward runs to combine with Feulner in the number 10 position.

Although Feulner's position is officially the number 10, it's not actually fixed; he's constantly moving around.

Soon, Randers' goal kick reached the attacking third, but Subotic intercepted it.

Dortmund began planning their next attack.

As Wang Shuo retreated from the front, he gestured for Grosskreutz to move inward.

Just then, Subotic delivered a long diagonal pass to the left flank of the attacking third.

Dede made a forward run and received the ball, then delivered a diagonal pass to Wang Shuo.

Wang Shuo was perfectly positioned in the open space and stopped the ball steadily.

Before the defender could catch up, he passed the ball back to Feulner next to him.

After passing the ball, he immediately turned around and sprinted forward at top speed.

Wang Shuo and Feulner have been working together for over a year, and the two have already developed a tacit understanding.

Instead of receiving the ball, Feulner delivered a long, lobbed pass into the left side of the penalty area.

Wang Shuo rushed into Randers' penalty area at lightning speed. After being closely pursued by the center-back Freiberg, he looked back at the incoming ball, pivoted on his left foot on the left side of the penalty spot, turned his body to the side, and swung his right foot to shoot.

As the football fell, it was struck squarely by Wang Shuo's right foot, flying at incredible speed into the right side of Randers' goal.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!"

Goal!

"Just 11 minutes into the game, Dortmund broke through Randers' goal!"

"Wang Shuo!"

"The 20 million man from Dortmund!"

"After the start of the game, he was extremely active, constantly directing and planning attacks in the frontcourt."

"This time, he finally seized the opportunity and broke through Randers' goal with a brilliant volley."

"1 to 0!"

After scoring, Wang Shuo excitedly rushed to the sidelines. In fact, there were only about 5,000 spectators in the stands for this match.

Only half of the seats were occupied.

But this is a Europa League goal!

This is Wang Shuo's first European competition!
Upon thinking of this, Wang Shuo couldn't help but jump up excitedly and cheer!
His teammates followed closely behind.

"I think I've finally grasped your hint this time?" Feulner excitedly hugged Wang Shuo.

Wang Shuo, however, looked disgusted. "The rumors are still pretty mediocre."

"Explain yourself clearly, what's so ordinary about it?" Foyle grabbed his head forcefully.

The crowd burst into laughter and then embraced the two as they walked back.

"Huh, is this the head coach's signature boxing move?" Kuba found it quite novel.

Wang Shuo laughed heartily, "The farmer's three punches."

……

With the first goal, the Dortmund players all breathed a sigh of relief.

More importantly, they gained patience and started kicking out more things.

Especially Wang Shuo.

His teamwork with his teammates is still not smooth enough.

Often, his teammates fail to understand his intentions in a timely manner.

On the field, you can't shout things out very clearly. If a slogan, a gesture, or even a glance is misunderstood, the opportunity will be missed.

Another major difference between Dortmund and Mainz is that while Dortmund has strong wing play, their attacks are truly dominated through the middle.

The flanks are more about widening the attack and targeting the flanks.

This will give Wang Shuo more space in the mid lane.

In the 24th minute, when Wang Shuo was dropping back from the front again, Sahin was dribbling forward and delivered a ground ball that was accurately placed at Wang Shuo's feet.

Wang Shuo brought out Fingel.

When Sahin's ball came to his feet, Fingel hadn't yet closed in time.

With his back to the direction of attack, Wang Shuo stopped the ball with the inside of his right foot to his left, then turned to the left, towards the center, bypassing the close marking Fingel.

This is really not difficult for Wang Shuo at all now.

Their opponents were just players from the Danish league.

"A beautiful first touch to get past the defender!"

After Wang Shuo bypassed Finger, he immediately caught up with the ball. When facing Freiberg, he first made a feint by sticking out his right foot, but actually dribbled the ball to the left with his right foot, which directly fooled Freiberg.

He took another step forward with his left foot and dribbled into the penalty area.

"Single-handed sword!!"

"Wang Shuo made a series of brilliant breakthroughs, dribbling the ball into the penalty area."

"Look at this time, stay calm and seize the opportunity!"

Goal!!!!

Dortmund scores again!

"2 to 0!"

"Wang Shuo scored twice!"

"This is Dortmund's 20 million man!"

"In his first match, and his first European match in his professional career, he scored twice!"

"It has to be said that he is indeed a very talented young player."

"Let's take another look at the whole process of the goal."

"We can see that Randers' two center-backs simply cannot stop Wang Shuo."

"Especially Fingel, who failed to block the position with his body in time, was unable to stop Wang Shuo's dribbling breakthrough after he got around him."

"This is Wang Shuo's strength!"

……

With Wang Shuo's brace, Dortmund completely dominated the game.

But the team also began to slow down their offensive.

After all, it's the first match of the new season, and there's also a first-round match in the German Cup coming up next.

The other teams will play on August 1st and August 2nd.

Due to the Europa League qualifiers, Borussia Dortmund's match has been scheduled for August 3rd.

The opponent was not strong; it was Weiden, a fourth-tier player.

But it's troublesome because the opponent is in the southwest, already close to the Czech Republic.

We're in Denmark to the north, and in three days we'll head southwest. The real challenge will be the exhaustion from the long journey.

Therefore, during halftime, after praising the team's overall performance, Klopp also instructed the players to be careful, try not to get injured, and just focus on winning the game.

In the 53rd minute of the second half, Wang Shuo dropped back again, forming a series of passes and cuts between the three players in the middle with Feulner and Sahin, before sending a diagonal pass behind the defense.

Kuba made a quick diagonal run into the penalty area, received the ball, and unleashed a powerful shot that found the back of the net, giving Dortmund another goal.

3 is better than 0!

With the outcome already decided, Klopp substituted Valdes for Wang Shuo.

According to him, Wang Shuo is now Dortmund's precious gem!
They then made a series of substitutions, using up all their substitutions as early as the 66th minute.

In the 80th minute, Reus received a brilliant pass from Kuba and scored another goal for the team.

In the end, Borussia Dortmund thrashed Randers 4-0 away from home, securing a winning start to the new season.

However, striker Valdes came on as a substitute and played for half an hour, getting several chances but failing to score.

……

After the team returned to Germany from Denmark, Klopp left the key players in Dortmund to rest and recuperate.

He himself led a reserve squad to the away game to challenge Weiden.

And this time, Valdes finally scored.

In the 24th minute, he received an assist from Sahin and opened the scoring for the team.

After the break in the second half, Tinga performed exceptionally well, first assisting Sahin to score.

After Weiden equalized, he assisted substitute Reus to score.

It's worth mentioning that Reus came on as a substitute in two consecutive matches and scored in both.

This time it happened in the second minute of stoppage time.

……

Dortmund, Germany, on the evening of August 6.

Tonight, Westfalenstadion is brightly lit and packed to capacity.

All 66,000 seats were filled with Borussia Dortmund fans.

This resulted in the entire stadium stands being packed with people.

Before the match, in the home team's locker room, Wang Shuo completed his final preparations before going on the field.

All that's missing is the head coach's pre-match pep talk.

Klopp's pre-match pep talk was quite interesting.

Especially considering his tall, robust, and powerful appearance.

But Reus, standing to the side, seemed a little nervous.

"What's wrong?" Wang Shuo reached out and put his hand on Royce's shoulder, asking with concern.

Reus looked at his yellow jersey, pulled up the team badge on his chest, and examined it carefully.

"It feels like...a dream!"

"why?"

"I don't know," Royce shook his head.

But he immediately added, "My whole family are Dortmund fans, and I have been since I was a child."

"When I was 4 years old, I joined the largest local sports club in Dortmund near my home, called PTSV Dortmund. It has many sports clubs, such as basketball, table tennis, badminton and so on."

"But I just love football."

When I accompanied Wang Shuo to choose a house last time, Royce mentioned that his home was near Phoenix Lake.

That's a famous landmark in Dortmund, located northeast of Holden.

“I transferred from PTSV to the Dortmund youth academy when I was 6 years old, and stayed there until I was 16 before I went to the Red and White Alan.”

"I still remember that the 01/02 season was Dortmund's last glorious moment. Under Sammer's coaching, we beat Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich to win the Bundesliga title."

"Although we lost to Feyenoord in the UEFA Cup final, everyone is still very happy."

"In the first home game of the 02/03 season, we also held a special unveiling ceremony for the Bundesliga championship trophy to show all the fans our championship trophy."

"At that time, I was 13 years old and, as a representative of the club's youth team, I entered the field with my teammates, carrying the championship trophy."

"At that time, I secretly vowed in my heart that in the future, I would help Dortmund win more, or even all, championships, and then personally carry the championship trophy onto the field in the first home game of the new season!"

Wang Shuo couldn't understand Reus's feelings for the club, and didn't resonate with them at all.

But he could tell that Reus really liked Dortmund.

The two hadn't known each other for long, but Wang Shuo had a good impression of Royce.

Therefore, he wouldn't mind helping Reus out.

"Marco, this is your first game of the new season, and your first appearance at Westfalenstadion, right?"

Reus nodded. "My first time as a professional player."

This answer reflects the meticulousness characteristic of Germans.

Want to score a goal?

Wang Shuo's smiling question seemed to possess a kind of magic.

Royce was completely captivated and nodded without hesitation, "You'll help me?"

"Pay attention to my hand gestures during the match later."

Reus nodded hastily.

"Those two center-backs from Denmark aren't very fast. I'll pull them out of the box, and you'll be responsible for making diagonal runs behind them. The rest is up to you."

Wang Shuo stopped there, then patted Royce on the shoulder with a smile, "Dude, don't feel pressured. Even if it doesn't work out the first time, I'll still help you."

"You'll definitely score tonight!"

Wang Shuo's firm promise deeply moved Royce.

In the eyes of the young German player, Wang Shuo is helping him realize his wish and fulfill his feelings for Dortmund.

So, the kid grabbed Wang Shuo's hand tightly, "Thank you, Wang!"

"No need for thanks, if you score a goal, remember to treat me to a meal," Wang Shuo grinned.

"no problem."

Then, he suddenly thought of something else.

"My family is all sitting in the stands!"

……

When the game reached the 13th minute, Wang Shuo suddenly ran back from the front.

As he ran, he called out, "Marco."

Reus heard this and began to prepare as well.

Wang Shuo quickly retreated to the open space on his left side.

Fingel followed him out.

Dede's pass came to Wang Shuo's feet. Before stopping the ball, he made a feint to turn to his right shoulder, which is the left side of the field, to deceive Finger behind him. Then, he skillfully stopped the ball with his right foot, turned and cut inside.

But people are not as good as heaven.

Wang Shuo had used this tactic once before, during the first round between the two sides.

Moreover, Wang Shuo, who scored twice in the first round, has become Randers' main target for defense this time.

As soon as I turned around, I found that someone had come to my aid and blocked my line.

Sudden stop, feint, continue cutting inside...

Wang Shuo's series of actions left the fans in the Westfalenstadion stands dazzled.

That footwork is amazing!

The movement frequency is too fast!
Wow, a player like this for only 2000 million euros is such a steal!

Are those guys at Bayern blind?
But Wang Shuo got past one, beat another, and was still cutting inside.

The problem is that the route to the front field is still blocked.

They didn't even have a chance to pass the ball.

My goodness, is Randers' defense that strong?
Wang Shuo continued to dribble laterally, getting past another player, but it still wasn't enough.

Left with no other choice, he had to suddenly stop and turn to the left.

This excited the fans in the stadium!

But Klopp on the sidelines was puzzled.

"What's wrong with Wang Shuo tonight? Why isn't he passing the ball?"

"This isn't like him at all!"

Klopp found it strange.

If it were according to Wang Shuo's past habits, he would never show off his skills like this.

He's holding onto the ball too much right now.

They even missed a crucial opportunity in the battle!

Even some of the Randers players probably suspected that Wang Shuo was deliberately trying to humiliate them.

Bring it from left to right, and then from right to left.

what?

Do you think you're very good at dribbling?

Sure enough, Randers' players chased after him and blocked Wang Shuo.

Just then, Wang Shuo suddenly sent a back pass to Kyle, who was making a run from behind and was unmarked.

"Forward!" Wang Shuo shouted.

Even without him shouting, Kyle had already noticed Royce, who was poised to pounce.

As soon as Wang Shuo shouted, Kyle knew that Wang Shuo wanted to help Reus score a goal.

So, after coming up, Kyle controlled the ball and immediately made a ground pass forward.

Reus also surged forward in an instant.

At that moment, Royce looked at Wang Shuo with eyes full of gratitude.

He felt that Wang Shuo had deliberately gathered all five defensive players around him to create such a wide-open opportunity for him.

Thank you, Wang Shuo!

I'll treat you to two meals!

Reus caught up with Kehl's pass when he was unmarked, controlled the ball, and shot—goal!

The young Dortmund player jumped up in excitement, turned around, and rushed off the field.

He sprinted towards a certain section of the stands and cheered directly at the fans there.

Needless to say, his family must be sitting in the stands.

Wang Shuo quickly caught up with him.

"Well done, Marco!"

Wang Shuo raised his hands, gave Royce a high five, and then hugged him.

"Thank you, Wang, I really scored!"

Wang Shuo saw the glistening on Royce's face, but couldn't tell if it was tears or sweat.

Everyone caught up with Reus to celebrate.

This Dortmund youth academy graduate scored a goal in his first home game after returning to the team.

"How does it feel to have over 6 fans cheering for you at Westfalenstadion?"

Wang Shuo chased after Royce and asked loudly.

Royce grinned from ear to ear. "One word: awesome!"

"Keep an eye on my gestures, I'll try to do another one for you later!"

Wang Shuo raised an eyebrow at Royce.

At that moment, Royce felt an urge to rush over and kiss Wang Shuo.

That's so loyal!

This is Reus's first home debut, and isn't it also Wang Shuo's?
……

In fact, Reus had no idea that after the first round of the match, Wang Shuo had a full understanding of Randers' strength.

In his view, when the whole team is attacking around him, it's not difficult for him to score.

Sure enough, just seven minutes after Reus scored, Wang Shuo received a pass from Kuba in an open space in the attacking third, executed a beautiful nutmeg, and nutmegged Randers's deep-lying midfielder.

After catching up with the ball at lightning speed on the edge of the penalty area, Wang Shuo used a series of feints to get past center-back Freiberg before breaking into the right side of the penalty area and scoring with a shot.

2 is better than 0!

More than 6 fans at Westfalenstadion were chanting Wang Shuo's name!
Yeah, that feels pretty awesome.

But Wang Shuo still misses the scene with more than 8 people.

Unfortunately, in European competitions, UEFA requires all stadiums to be seated, so Westfalenstadion has been reduced to just over 66,000 people.

But Wang Shuo felt that Westfalenstadion, with its 8-seat capacity, was the real devil's home ground!
Nine minutes after Wang Shuo scored, Dede on the left wing delivered a diagonal pass behind the defense. In a race of speed, Wang Shuo quickly broke through Randers' defense, caught up with Dede's pass before anyone else, and volleyed the ball into the net.

The football flew into Randers' goal at incredible speed.

3 is better than 0!

Wang Shuo scored twice!

The moment Wang Shuo turned and rushed off the field, the entire Westfalenstadion stadium echoed with shouts of "Wang Shuo!"

Just before the end of the first half, Wang Shuo finally seized another opportunity.

As he dropped back to receive the ball, he turned and delivered a through pass.

The ball passed right between Randers' two center-backs.

Reus was absolutely stunned.

My God, does Wang Shuo have eyes in the back of his head?
Otherwise, how could he have seen such a passing lane behind him when he was clearly running back?
But Reus still managed to catch up with Wang Shuo's pass.

Stop, shoot, goal!
The young Dortmund player rushed off the pitch again, running wildly to the same stands to celebrate.

In the first half, Dortmund defeated Randers 4-0.

The final score has been extended to 8-0!

……

With the outcome already decided, Klopp began making substitutions in the second half.

Because on August 9th, Borussia Dortmund will play their first match of the new Bundesliga season.

Moreover, they are playing at home against newly promoted Cologne.

This will undoubtedly be a crucial showdown.

Wang Shuo, Sahin, and other players were successively substituted off the field.

Sven Bender, Valdes and other players were substituted on.

When Wang Shuo left the field, Valdes still politely gave him a high-five.

If at the beginning Valdes harbored resentment towards Wang Shuo for taking away his starting position and his number 9 jersey, he is now numb to it.

Throughout the summer preparations, no, even before the summer training camp, he had already sensed it when he heard that Wang Shuo had started training on his own for quite some time.

During the training camp, Wang Shuo's diligence and hard work, as well as the strength he displayed in training, made Valdes feel inferior.

Putting aside everything else, his average running distance of 12 kilometers per game in the Bundesliga last season was something Valdes could hardly match.

After playing a series of matches, including warm-up games and Europa League qualifiers, Valdes clearly felt the significant gap in ability between himself and Wang Shuo.

Jealousy only exists when the two are not far apart in strength, and Valdes feels that he still has a chance to make a comeback.

But when he realized that as long as Wang Shuo was neither injured nor sick, he had no chance at all, he felt more envy.

Then came despair.

However, there was one advantage to this: he found that his life was much better.

At least I don't have to be as conflicted and anxious as I was at the beginning.

Moreover, he also felt that building a good relationship with Wang Shuo might become a major talking point in his future career.

At the very least, he served as Wang Shuo's substitute!
Another very obvious sign was that after Dortmund made a series of substitutions, their devastating attack in the first half came to an abrupt end in the second half.

No matter how hard Valdes and others tried, they were always just a little bit short of scoring.

It turns out that the Danes were not as weak as he had imagined.

In the end, Borussia Dortmund defeated Denmark's Randers 4-0.

With an aggregate score of 8-0, they successfully advanced to the fourth round of the Europa League qualifiers.

Yes, after the third round, there will be a fourth round.

The first leg of the fourth round will be held on August 20th.

Dortmund will still play the first leg away and the second leg at home.

This time, their opponent in the draw was Lech Poznań from the Polish league.

This team finished third in the Polish league last season and also won the cup.

In the UEFA Cup, this team defeated traditional powerhouses such as Grasshoppers of Switzerland and Austria Vienna. Despite being grouped with CSKA Moscow, Deportivo La Coruña, Nancy and Feyenoord, they still qualified as the third-placed team in their group.

最后是在32强淘汰中主场2比2，客场1比2惜败于意甲的乌迪内斯。

In the just-concluded Polish Super Cup, this team also drew 1-1 with the defending champions, Vistula Krakow, thanks to a goal from striker Robert Lewandowski, and then defeated their opponents in a penalty shootout to win the Super Cup.

Therefore, this team is still very difficult to deal with, and its strength is by no means weak.

Although the Europa League prize money is not much, the most important thing for Borussia Dortmund right now is to integrate the team as soon as possible and boost morale.

Klopp even wants the Europa League!
