The God of Football starts with passive skills

Chapter 79 Combo Technique! A three-man dribble! Is he really Wang Shuo? A figurehead coach? Klopp's juicy gossip is guaranteed!
All the football coaches in Germany, uh, no, all of Europe, know that Wang Shuo is not good at physical confrontations.

When playing against Mainz before, and now against Dortmund, the coach always emphasizes the same points repeatedly when setting up tactics at the start of the game.

Fight back!
Cologne's center-back Youssef Mohamed is definitely the most experienced of all the defenders.

Back when Wang Shuo was still playing for Mainz and Cologne was still in the 2. Bundesliga, the two teams had already played one match.

The 1.82-meter-tall Lebanese center-back is known for his speed and agility, but physical confrontation is not his forte. However, he is more than capable of dealing with Wang Shuo.

At the time, the head coach was Christopher Daum, who appointed Mohammed to partner with McKenna, forming a fast and tall center-back pairing.

Whether facing Mainz or Dortmund, when encountering Wang Shuo, the quick and agile Mohammed was basically in charge of marking him, while McKenna was responsible for dragging him back.

Every time Muhammad got close, Wang Shuo would suffer a loss.

Of course, Wang Shuo will also try his best to maximize his strengths and minimize his weaknesses.

But today, Muhammad sensed that Wang Shuo seemed somewhat different.

He couldn't quite put his finger on what was different.

He didn't have time to think about the problem carefully.

Facing Wang Shuo now, both he and McKenna have to be on high alert and dare not be distracted in the slightest.

They were constantly on edge.

Even so, Wang Shuo continued to create opportunities for her.

Especially after Wang Shuo put on the captain's armband for Dortmund in the 21st minute, he became even more active.

When the game reached the 28th minute, Mohammed saw Wang Shuo retreating, so he immediately greeted his center-back partner McKenna and followed him.

He felt that this was probably just a regular steal.

Just like the previous times when they tried to snatch the ball.

As long as he gets close and sticks to him, he can restrain Wang Shuo.

Wang Shuo stopped at the forefront of the 30-meter zone in Cologne and secured the position first.

Want to catch the ball?

Muhammad immediately sped up and stuck it on.

very smooth.

He pressed himself against Wang Shuo.

At almost the same time, Mohammed saw that Sahin indeed passed the ball forward and found Wang Shuo directly.

This is a very well-established passing lane for Dortmund.

Just as the Lebanese center-back was about to exert more pressure on Wang Shuo, forcing him to move forward and miss the opportunity to receive the ball, he suddenly felt that Wang Shuo seemed to have anticipated his intentions and took the initiative, instantly exerting force from his back.

And the force was quite considerable!
This made Muhammad almost instinctively resist.

The most outrageous thing was that Muhammad discovered that he hadn't gained any advantage at all!
How is this possible?
Just as the Lebanese center-back was taken aback, Wang Shuo suddenly took a step forward, turning his body to the left while his right foot was taut, using the outside of his foot to shovel into the grass.

Sahin's pass was very fast.

When the ball came, it hit the outside of Wang Shuo's right foot, as if it had been scooped off the ground and passed over the heads of Wang Shuo and Muhammad.

The Lebanese center-back never expected Wang Shuo to pull this stunt.

The sudden burst of force from his back, in particular, caught him completely off guard.

When he looked up to judge the ball's trajectory, caught off guard, Wang Shuo had already turned around and kicked forward with both legs.

By the time Muhammad realized what was happening and turned to give chase, Wang Shuo had already taken the lead.

damn it!
It was a back-to-the-ball control, a turn, and a dribble past the defender!

Just after Wang Shuo overtook Muhammad, he used his left foot to stop the falling football in front of him.

Even Mohammed, who was chasing behind, couldn't help but applaud that ball control skill!

But the Lebanese center-back had no chance to overtake and could only follow behind Wang Shuo.

It's ok!
McKenna was still lagging behind.

Wang Shuo quickly dribbled forward.

McKenna quickly retreated, almost entering the penalty area.

Muhammad followed behind Wang Shuo.

As long as Wang Shuo slows down, he can catch up.

Both of Cologne's center-backs were constantly assessing the situation.

Wang Shuo lacks strength and is not good at long-range shots from outside the penalty area.

Throughout his career, from Mainz to the Bundesliga to Dortmund, he has never had a long-range shot from outside the penalty area.

They've never even headed a ball.

Cologne's two center-backs felt that the area outside the penalty area was still safe.

Therefore, when Wang Shuo rushed to the edge of the penalty area and took a step forward to the right, McKenna, Mohammed, and even goalkeeper Mondragón all judged it to be a feint.

He just wanted to dribble past McKenna and rush into the penalty area.

But just as this thought crossed their minds, Wang Shuo suddenly darted forward, and after his left foot was firmly planted, he suddenly exerted force with his right foot.

After acquiring the passive skill [Foundation], Wang Shuo discovered that whenever he wanted to exert force, a thought would instantly activate all the muscles in his body, allowing him to unleash the full power hidden within him.

Just like now, a moment ago, he was ready to cut the ball back and rush into the penalty area from the other side if McKenna blocked him.

That step with the right foot was a feint!
When McKenna didn't "fall for it," he decided to kick directly.

In the past, he would feel powerless in such a hurried and rushed situation.

But now?

With a thought, he channeled all his strength into his right foot. Through precise control of his muscles and joints, and through his connective tissue, the power flowed smoothly through his body with almost no loss.

Ultimately, everything converged on the right foot, and through that powerful shot, it was passed to the ball.

After being hit by the force, the football flew out at extremely high speed.

To the astonishment of McKenna, Mohammed, Mondragon, and others, the football swiftly nestled into the right side of Cologne's goal.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"In the 28th minute, Dortmund broke through Cologne's goal!"

"A long-range shot from Wang Shuo!"

"A long-range shot from outside the penalty area!"

"If I remember correctly, this should be Wang Shuo's first long-range shot from outside the penalty area that has breached Cologne's goal so far!"

"It's incredible!"

When Wang Shuo unleashed that long-range shot and watched it go into the goal, he couldn't believe it.

From Mainz to Dortmund, he has been constantly strengthening his physical abilities through training.

He spends more time in the gym than anyone else.

Physical fitness has improved significantly, but it's still not enough.

Especially compared to local white Germans, his physical strength was still lacking.

Wang Shuo has practiced long-range shooting and has even managed to shoot long-range shots in matches, but he has never been able to execute them smoothly.

Either the shot went wide, the goalkeeper saved it, or it wasn't powerful enough.

Everyone around him told him that this was normal.

He is only 19 years old!
But now, Wang Shuo suddenly realized that he was not without power after all.

It's just that in the past, he didn't know how to use it, or rather, the transmission of power in his body wasn't smooth enough, with too many obstacles and too much consumption.

But now, when the power is transmitted smoothly, his long-range shot can be just as powerful!
Thinking of this, Wang Shuo shouted excitedly and turned to run.

Behind him, Muhammad and McKenna both looked on incredulously.

The two Cologne center-backs looked at each other in bewilderment.

Is he really Wang Shuo?

……

"Wow, a long-range shot from outside the penalty area!"

Klopp was utterly shocked; his mouth was agape, wide enough to fit two fists.

Not only him, but also Buvac, Kravitz and others behind him, all looked on in disbelief as Wang Shuo ran and celebrated on the field, only to be tackled to the ground by his teammates who caught up with him.

"This kid... he really is..."

Klopp suddenly didn't know how to evaluate his prized disciple.

From the first time he saw Wang Shuo play in Mainz U19, to the first team, from the 2nd Bundesliga to the Bundesliga, from Mainz to Dortmund, he personally witnessed Wang Shuo's journey step by step.

He would start training while others were sleeping.

While others were resting, he was practicing extra.

While others finished training and went home, he was still practicing extra.

While others were taking vacations and traveling, he was still practicing extra.

He's like a training fanatic!
But his hard work and perseverance in training over a long period of time are widely recognized in Mainz and Dortmund, and everyone admires him!
That's why Klopp said that if the captain's armband were given to Sahin or Hummels, there would be people who would object.

Everyone was convinced when it came to Wang Shuo!
Through this long-term and persistent training, Wang Shuo continuously improved his strength.

He grew from someone who only had speed to someone who gradually developed.

Now, even his physical body is starting to show obvious signs of improvement!
"You know what? I've always looked down on that kind of single-minded, blindly practicing approach."

Assistant coach Zelic appeared behind Klopp, equally amazed.

"I've always felt that football is a game for smart people. You have to use your brain to play, and you have to be creative and imaginative."

"But now, when I saw Wang Shuo unleash that long-range shot, I suddenly felt, how the hell did this kid manage to make an ordinary long-range shot feel so exhilarating?"

Klopp laughed heartily upon hearing this, "That's willpower!"

"I've always felt that the charm of football isn't just about ball control and technique, but also about willpower!"

Klopp didn't unleash his signature three punches this time, but he turned and grinned at Buvac.

"So, back when we were playing football, I had way more female fans than you!"

Peter Kravitz's eyes lit up.

Holy crap, Mainz had this kind of trolling back then?
The rugged-looking Klopp is surprisingly more popular with female fans than midfield maestro Zeliko Buvac.
This is absolutely revolutionary!

But Klopp's act of showing off was completely shattered by Buvac.

"Really? I seem to remember you being the only single guy on the team back then? You couldn't even find a girlfriend at parties?"

Kravitz nearly tripped and fell over.

And this thing?

"You're talking nonsense, I didn't!"

"Should I call Kramny and ask him who was it that shamelessly begged him to recommend a girlfriend?"

Klopp immediately deflated.

"Fine, say whatever you want, I can't be bothered arguing with you, hmph!"

Kravitz glanced at Klopp, who had turned and walked away, then at Buvac, and suddenly realized that this melon was guaranteed to be ripe!

……

After all 12 pentagons of the Ball God System were lit up, Wang Shuo began to realize that the potential hidden within them was still enormous.

It's not just a simple improvement in passive skills.

He was not yet aware of how much stronger the domain skills would be when he upgraded from intercontinental to world-class.

But he's getting more and more adept at combining and using passive skills.

For example, after acquiring the "foundation," he found himself to have a clearer understanding of muscles and power generation.

[Eagle Eye] can make his eyes more acute, allowing him to see more details.

[Opportunity] can help him predict his opponent's next move.

【Inspiration】 allows him to frequently come up with some brilliant ideas.

Just like the first goal, he first turned to the side, used the outside of his right foot to poke the turf, stopped the ball high, and then turned around in the process.

This is the effect of a flash of inspiration.

However, the previous physical confrontation was the result of the combined effects of [foundation], [eagle eye], and [initiative].

He was able to predict Muhammad's exertion and movements in advance.

In the 43rd minute, when Dortmund intercepted the ball in midfield and launched a counter-attack, and Kuba dribbled forward on the right wing, Wang Shuo happened to be running between the two center-backs McKenna and Mohammed.

While running, Wang Shuo kept turning his head to observe Kuba's dribbling, watching the other defensive players, and also keeping a close eye on McKenna and Mohammed's every move.

His brain was fully activated.

It's like a high-speed computer, constantly analyzing, judging, and deducing.

Finally, when they reached the edge of the penalty area, Kuba stopped.

Wang Shuo also stopped.

But just as they stopped, before McKenna and Mohammed could even regain their footing, Wang Shuo suddenly started moving again, making a move to rush into the penalty area between the two center-backs.

This immediately startled McKenna and Muhammad, who ran towards the center at the same time, like a door about to close.

But to their utter surprise, Wang Shuo had barely taken his first step when he immediately veered behind McKenna and cut diagonally into the left side of the penalty area.

Kuba delivered a low, diagonal pass from just outside the right corner of the penalty area.

The ball was passed diagonally from the right corner of the penalty area to the outside of the left post.

Wang Shuo arrived quickly and easily fired a left-footed shot into the near corner, sending the ball back into Mondragón's goal.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!"

"2 to 0!"

"Wang Shuo wins a second title!!"

"Dortmund scored again before the end of the first half!"

"That was a very clever positioning."

"Both of Cologne's center-backs were completely fooled by Wang Shuo."

"After scoring twice, Cologne is now in a very unfavorable situation."

"On the other hand, although Borussia Dortmund's captain Weidenfeller was injured and had to leave the field, this did not affect the team's morale and fighting spirit in the slightest."

"Wang Shuo scored twice in one game, helping Dortmund stabilize the situation!"

……

The first half ended with a score of 2-0.

When he was leaving the field, Wang Shuo, who was the team's temporary captain, only realized that he was the captain after being reminded by Feulner.

As the captain, his first task is to urge all his teammates to return to the locker room as soon as possible.

After 45 minutes of intense competition, everyone was panting.

As soon as I got back to the locker room, I sat down and drank some water.

Some players were still injured and needed basic treatment from the team doctor.

At this time, everyone is basically busy with their own things.

But the team captain is an exception.

Wang Shuo only had about 5 minutes.

He first approached Subotic and Hummels, focusing on the problems that arose in defending several corner kicks and set pieces in the first half, which resulted in dangerous situations created by the opponent.

"They really like to use ferry attacks to score second points, and we're not good at defending that."

"On the other hand, our set-piece attacks need to be more direct."

Subotic and Hummels share the same view on this.

Wang Shuo then approached Shaheen and Sven Bender.

The main purpose is to understand the team's midfield operation and set-piece tactics.

Sahin is the team's free-kick taker, handling both corner kicks and free kicks in the attacking third.

After gathering feedback from his teammates, Wang Shuo spent about two minutes before turning around and heading to the coach's rest area.

At this point, Klopp was already in intensive discussions with the coaches.

The halftime break was only 15 minutes long, but after deducting the time for entering and leaving the field, it was actually only about 14 minutes.

It really felt like a war.

Often, the stark contrast in a team's performance or mental state between the first and second halves that fans see during live broadcasts is due to changes that occur during halftime.

The team leader's role is to collect opinions and provide feedback.

If we let the players provide feedback on their own, the situation will become chaotic and a waste of time.

After hearing this, Klopp patted Wang Shuo on the shoulder to indicate that he had received the message.

After returning to his seat and sitting down, Wang Shuo had just unscrewed a bottle of water when Foyle leaned over next to him.

"How's it going? How does it feel to be the team leader?"

"I'm very nervous and under a lot of pressure!" Wang Shuo said honestly.

He was beginning to understand why the Real Madrid captain's armband had overwhelmed Raul.

The more responsible a person is, the greater the pressure they tend to experience.

But Raul was the kind of person who needed a relaxed playing environment, so he was naturally overwhelmed by the pressure.

Klopp quickly came over and began coaching.

He first analyzed the problems that arose in the first half, and then provided solutions for each of the details.

This includes defending set pieces and attacking from set pieces in the attacking third.

His strategy for the second half remained largely the same.

They launched an early attack, employing Dortmund's usual tactics.

Wang Shuo listened attentively.

As the team captain, he needs to understand the head coach's tactical intentions and lead his teammates to implement them on the field.

The coaching session lasts approximately 7 to 8 minutes.

Next comes the mobilization phase.

The so-called mobilization did not actually involve any fixed candidates.

Some head coaches are very good at motivating their players, so he came himself.

Some were delegated to assistant coaches, others directly to captains, or even to certain highly charismatic players.

These kinds of things are decided by the locker room itself.

Dortmund's situation is also quite unique.

Weidenfeller was never a very good motivator, so he usually kept quiet.

Klopp, on the other hand, is more passionate, and he's usually the one doing the talking.

Previously, Klopp never asked a single question and would just take over himself.

Everyone has gotten used to it.

But this time, he inexplicably looked at Wang Shuo and asked, "Captain, would you like to say a few words?"

In Klopp's subconscious mind, this was a way of showing respect to Wang Shuo.

After all, his experience is still too limited.

Klopp felt that if he politely asked, and Wang Shuo declined, he would come on his own.

He had even mentally prepared his speech!

Unexpectedly, Wang Shuo was also a first-time captain, and after hearing Klopp's question, he was stunned for a moment.

Looking around, he noticed his teammates were all staring at him. He figured the atmosphere had gotten to this point, so maybe he should say something?

So he stood up and said with a smile, "Then I'll say a few words."

Klopp was speechless on the spot!

No, I was just being polite, did you really take it seriously?
To make matters worse, Feulner and Subotic immediately started cheering and applauding for Wang Shuo.

Klopp was so angry that he cursed under his breath: "You two lackeys! I've never seen you this enthusiastic when I give a pep talk!"
With Feulner and Subotic leading the way, everyone else joined in the applause.

Wang Shuo came to Klopp's side.

Uncle Beard nodded at Wang Shuo with a forced smile, "Then I'll just say a few words."

The emphasis should be on simplicity and two sentences.

This was Wang Shuo's first time giving a pep talk, and he was a little nervous. He completely ignored Klopp and turned to look at his teammates in the locker room.

Everyone looked up at him.

"We did a fantastic job in the first half!"

When Wang Shuo said this, his gaze kept moving back and forth between his teammates, making everyone feel that Wang Shuo was watching them the whole time.

"We played the football that belongs to Borussia Dortmund!"

"The 2-0 score was achieved through the combined efforts of our entire team; we built our advantage in this match together!"

The ball was clearly scored by Wang Shuo.

But everyone nodded in unison. "But listen to me, guys, the game is only halfway through."

"Anything can happen in the remaining 45 minutes."

"Even in the Champions League final, they can be overturned when they have a 3-goal lead, let alone us who are only leading by 2 goals. We are not safe at all!"

"So we should forget about those two goals and start from scratch. We need to charge forward like we did at the start of the first half and stick with our opponents!"

"What are we going to do?"

"We must be like wolves. We must charge forward with unstoppable momentum, relentlessly tearing at our opponents, scoring goals and scoring again, until we finally kill the game and leave our opponents utterly hopeless!"

"The brothers in the midfield and defense are as hard as steel and as solid as a city wall. The brothers in the midfield are like meat grinders, constantly crushing the opponents. You must make every opponent who enters your defensive zone feel suffocated!"

"In the final 45 minutes, we will unleash all our energy and passion on the field!"

"We want to make those 5 Cologne fans here feel fear and despair!"

"For the team badge on our chests, for the season goals we set together at our Christmas dinner!"

"Once we step out of this door, we must fight, bite, and conquer like a pack of hungry wolves!"

Wang Shuo became more and more excited as he spoke.

Finally, he spoke for a full two minutes in one go.

He didn't stop until the bell rang in the locker room, signaling the players to enter the field.

So much so that he didn't even see how strange Klopp's expression was behind him.

"Come on, give me your hand!"

All the players immediately stood up, like well-trained soldiers who had heard a bugle call to arms.

Everyone crowded around, shoulder to shoulder, head to head.

"one two Three!"

Go BVB!

"go!"

At Wang Shuo's command, all the players immediately chased after him and filed out of the locker room.

Klopp was left standing there awkwardly.

"I said it was clearly simple and only two sentences, didn't he understand?"

Klopp asked Buvac and Kravitz.

Buvac and Kravitz couldn't help but burst out laughing.

At this moment, Klopp is like a resentful woman whose boyfriend has been stolen.

"No, what are you laughing at? I asked him to say a few words, and he talked on and on for two minutes."

Buvac knew perfectly well that Klopp was jealous of Wang Shuo.

Given the deep bond between the two, this is nothing.

“To be honest, Jürgen, I think he… said it quite well,” Peter Kravitz reassured him.

Buvac, however, had no such concerns and immediately kicked the ground, saying, "Indeed, you put it better than you."

After saying that, the two assistant coaches ran away.

Klopp was so angry he wanted to explode on the spot.

"So, I'm just a superfluous figurehead as the head coach, is that right?"

……

But it has to be said that Dortmund's morale was really high after the second half started!
From the start, Dortmund pressed forward aggressively, relentlessly harassing and pressing Cologne.

In the 46th minute, Poldoski lost possession and committed a foul while trying to win the ball back, for which he was shown a yellow card.

In the 50th minute, Cologne's left-back, Vommel, committed a foul while defending Kuba and was also shown a yellow card.

Next up is Maniche...

Dortmund kept attacking while also creating dangerous situations.

Wang Shuo has already scored two goals and is under close marking, but he uses his position to draw Cologne's defense and create opportunities for his teammates.

In the 57th minute, it was Wang Shuo's pass after dropping back that led to Reus's breakthrough on the left wing, creating a corner kick opportunity. Sahin accurately found Hummels, who headed the ball into the net.

3 is better than 0!

In the 63rd minute, Wang Shuo dropped back to organize the attack, and Kuba made a strong run down the right flank, creating another corner kick opportunity. This time, Sahin assisted Subotic to head the ball into the goal.

4 is better than 0!

In the 68th minute, Wang Shuo delivered a through pass, Kuba broke into the right side of the penalty area and crossed to the far post, where Reus followed up and slotted the ball into the net, sealing the score at 5-0!

Throughout the second half, Cologne paid the price with a total of 6 yellow cards.

Dortmund only has 1 card.

This effect left Klopp, Buvac, and others on the sidelines completely dumbfounded.

"Jurgen, how about we entrust Wang Shuo with the pre-match and halftime pep talks from now on?" Buvac suggested.

Klopp's eyes first flashed with a hint of interest, then a wave of resentment washed over him, and he let out a cold snort.

It seems particularly contradictory.

This was the first time he had this thought: if an apprentice is too amazing, the pressure on the master is really immense!

Especially after the game, as the team captain, even though he was only a temporary captain on the field, Wang Shuo still had to go to the sidelines to give a television interview.

As usual, Wang Shuo attributed all the credit to his teammates.

This kind of interview is no longer difficult for him.

Finally, he led his teammates to the corner where the away fans were to thank the hundreds of Dortmund fans who had followed the team to the away game.

After the match, numerous German media outlets, including Bild and Kicker magazine, published commentaries and reports on the game immediately.

Wang Shuo's performance as Dortmund's captain for the first time has been highly praised.

The 5-0 victory over Cologne was the best performance in this round of the Bundesliga.

However, Leverkusen also defeated Mainz 4-2 at home in this round.

Schalke 04 defeated Nuremberg 1-0 at home.

Therefore, overall, Dortmund still maintains the lead they had at the end of the first half of the season.

But as time went on, more inside information was gradually revealed.

First, at the post-match press conference, Klopp praised Wang Shuo's performance, but not for his two goals, but for his role in the team.

"In this game, he truly became the undisputed leader of the team!"

Klopp's words prompted German media to dig deeper and quickly uncover more details about what happened in the locker room.

The feedback from teammates on Wang Shuo's motivational speeches, as well as Wang Shuo's performance, all received unanimous approval from the locker room.

Finally, the media came to a conclusion.

Klopp is right!

Borussia Dortmund also announced Weidenfeller's injury after the match.

A minor muscle strain will keep me out for a month.

……

January 24, 0:30 AM Beijing time.

This is the evening match of the second matchday of the 19th round of the Bundesliga.

Borussia Dortmund will host Hamburg at home.

Prior to this match, the Capital Television station arranged for an interview team to go to Dortmund, Germany. They not only followed and reported on Dortmund's training sessions, but also interviewed coaching staff members including Klopp, as well as club executives such as Raubal, Watzke, and Zorc.

Furthermore, there are several players from the Borussia Dortmund team.

Almost everyone spoke highly of Wang Shuo.

Of course, Wang Shuo is also involved.

He was the first Chinese player to wear the captain's armband and play in a top European league.

This is not only an affirmation of Wang Shuo, but also a recognition of Chinese players.

The interview was officially released before this Bundesliga match, attracting a large number of fans to watch.

Through this interview, everyone has a clearer understanding of Wang Shuo's matches and life in the Bundesliga, as well as his importance among the Dortmund management, coaches, players, and fans.

Before broadcasting the match live, the capital television station also released a number of pre-match interviews with Borussia Dortmund fans.

When they learned that the reporter was from Wang Shuo's homeland, they all became even more polite.

They all cheered for Wang Shuo in front of the camera, hoping he could keep scoring goals!

One of the elderly fans, with white hair, was wearing Wang Shuo's number 9 jersey and excitedly said in front of the camera: "I hope that in my lifetime I can still see Dortmund lift the slate for the Bundesliga title!"

"Go Wang Shuo!"

This touched countless fans across the country who were watching the game live on television.

They all understood even more clearly how much Wang Shuo meant to Borussia Dortmund fans.

"It's incredible! In just six months, he has completely won over these fans!"

"That's normal. He's already scored 22 Bundesliga goals. Normally, that would be enough for the Bundesliga Golden Boot."

"I saw the previous Bild report, and Wang Shuo's importance to the team is increasing."

“Look at CCTV’s interview, Dortmund president Raubal said that the team is now making renewing Wang Shuo’s contract a top priority. Many top European clubs have their eyes on Wang Shuo and want to poach him.”

"To be honest, Wang Shuo is really too strong!"

"I have a strong feeling that Dortmund won't be able to keep him for long."

"Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer fee was close to 1 million euros, so how much would Wang Shuo's transfer fee be?"

"It shouldn't be that scary, after all, Ronaldo has won the Ballon d'Or and FIFA World Player of the Year awards."

“But Wang Shuo is even younger, only 19 years old.”

"That's hard to say."

Just as everyone was discussing it, [青青禾边草] posted another photo.

The photo was taken from above the Dortmund stands, showing Wang Shuo walking at the very front of the Dortmund contingent, holding the hand of a ball boy, as they walked out of the players' tunnel.

"The players have entered the field, and Wang Shuo is still the team captain," commented [Qingqinghebiancao].

Numerous netizens immediately followed up with comments.

"Just as I expected! If I were Klopp, I would have appointed Wang Shuo as captain! We'd beat them 5-0 every day!"

"Haha, how could that be? After Weidenfeller makes his comeback, Wang Shuo will definitely pay him back."

"Exactly, we can't disrupt locker room unity."

"Above Weidenfeller is Kyle, who is the real captain."

"Sister Qinghe is awesome! She's at every single match, not missing a single one!"

"Indeed, in Wang Shuo's fan club, our Qinghe sister must be the president."

"Sister Qinghe, have there been any changes to the starting lineup?"

【青青禾边草】 replied: "Yes, Santana replaced Sven Bender in the starting lineup, and Hummels played as a sweeper midfielder. It is said that Sven Bender was injured, but it is not serious."

"And Grosskreutz has replaced Reus in the attacking third."

"Oh, that's normal. In a clash of titans, Grosskreutz is a bit more stable than Reus."

"No, Reus has a stronger attacking firepower, while Grosskreutz is better at suppressing full-backs."

While they were talking, the live broadcast of the match from the Capital Television station came on.

As Shen Qinghe predicted, Dortmund's starting lineup saw two changes in position.

When Chinese fans saw Wang Shuo wearing the captain's armband and guessing sides with Hamburg captain Jarolim, they all cheered, and many fans left messages on the forum.

Shen Qinghe even replied below.

"At the stadium, the Dortmund fans erupted in applause, and the shouts from the south stand were deafening. The fans were clearly very supportive of Wang Shuo!"

……

The moment referee Graf blew the whistle to start the match, Wang Shuo chased after Hamburg's two center-backs.

Matthijsen and Jerome Boateng.

Grosskreutz and Kuba on both sides also pressed forward.

In addition, there are teammates in the midfield and defense.

Dortmund immediately adopted an aggressive and pressing approach.

In just 1 minute and 46 seconds, Dortmund's suffocating high-pressure tactics forced Hamburg's defense into making a mistake.

When Jerome Boateng controlled the ball, he failed to pass it out in time, and Wang Shuo caught up and intercepted the ball first, completing a very fatal interception in the attacking third.

After Wang Shuo intercepted the ball, Boateng immediately moved close to him, trying to win it back.

In the eyes of the Hamburg defender, given Wang Shuo's physical strength, his lean on him should at least be able to stop Wang Shuo.

But this time, he miscalculated!

Wang Shuo withstood his physical challenge and skillfully dribbled the ball into the penalty area, immediately putting Boateng in a difficult situation.

After breaking into the penalty area, Wang Shuo skillfully dribbled the ball with both feet, bypassed Mathijsen, and then fired a right-footed shot from a tight angle, sending the ball into Hamburg's goal.

1 is better than 0!

The entire Westfalenstadion erupted in celebration!
After the first goal, the game was completely turned around.

Labbadia's team is not the type to be easily defeated; they also want to fight back.

But in the 11th minute, Schmelzer on the left wing delivered a diagonal pass over the top, directly to the back of the defense.

Wang Shuo made a quick forward run between Mathijsen and Jerome Boateng, controlled the ball with his chest before breaking into the penalty area, and chipped it with his right foot before the onrushing goalkeeper Rost could react.

Although he was tackled and fell inside Hamburg's penalty area by Rost, the ball still went into Hamburg's goal.

2 is better than 0!

At this point, the match had completely entered the rhythm that Dortmund was most familiar with and most adept at.

In the 31st minute of the first half, Owomoyela delivered a through pass from the right wing, and Kuba broke into the right side of the penalty area and scored, further extending the lead.

3 is better than 0!

During halftime, Dortmund made a substitution.

Feulner was injured, and young player Götze came on as a substitute.

This substitution has somewhat dampened Dortmund's morale.

After all, Kehl and Dede have not yet returned to the field, Weidenfeller was injured in the last round, Sven Bender was also injured and absent, and Feulner was injured in this game.

It would be a lie to say that the players weren't worried.

Hamburg seized the opportunity and scored a goal in the 55th minute through Robert Tescher on the right wing.

1 is better than 3!

In the 60th minute, Labbadia, seeing a glimmer of hope for a comeback, substituted two players in one go.

Forward Marcus Berg replaced Toren.

Left winger Elia replaced the team's on-field captain, Jarolim.

Both substitutions were made to strengthen the attack.

Labbadia was clearly going all out.

After the substitution, Hamburg launched a desperate attack on Dortmund.

At the same time, they also exerted pressure and strangled Dortmund in midfield.

Just as Hamburg's offensive was at its peak, Dortmund was even forced to retreat to the edge of their own penalty area to set up defense, and were directly pressed into the 30-meter zone, putting them in a precarious situation.

This has caused great concern among the Dortmund fans in the stands.

"Hamburg's offensive has been quite aggressive lately."

"Klopp needs to make timely substitutions to stabilize the situation as soon as possible, otherwise the situation is a bit dangerous."

"Look at Hamburg's attack this time."

"It was still handed over to Petrich."

"Petric gets the ball, then passes it again."

Subotic steals the ball.

"The hamburger started to fight back."

When Dortmund's midfielders and defenders were struggling to find effective passing options, especially when Hummels received the ball on the right side of the 30-meter zone and used his body to shield former Bayern midfielder Trochowski from pressing forward, he saw Wang Shuo running back from the front.

"Send the message here!"

Wang Shuo, outside of Hamburg's chokehold range, raised his hand to ask for the ball.

Hummels didn't hesitate and immediately chipped the ball over the goalkeeper.

This pass wasn't very good; it went quite wide, and Wang Shuo couldn't reach it at all.

Fortunately, Hamburg adopted a 4-4-2 formation, with the midfield and forward lines pushing forward aggressively, leaving some gaps between the midfield and the defense.

Once Wang Shuo judged the ball's trajectory, he immediately turned around and chased after it, hooking the ball with his left foot before Hamburg's deep-lying midfielder Thomas Rincon could reach it.

Thomas Rincón is one of the best midfield ball-winning machines in the Bundesliga this season.

He is not tall, only 1.75 meters, but his upper body looks very strong and solid, and his lower body is also very stable.

This Venezuelan midfielder is best known for his close-marking and defensive skills.

When he saw Wang Shuo hook the ball away first, he immediately moved close to him, using his right shoulder to block Wang Shuo's left shoulder, trying to forcibly push him away.

At the very least, we need to disrupt Wang Shuo's footwork so that he has a chance to steal the ball.

This is his specialty.

In fact, he did achieve his goal.

When Wang Shuo was stopped, he lost his composure.

However, with the combined effect of coordination and foundation, Wang Shuo quickly regained his footing and poured all his strength into his left shoulder, instantly pushing back.

At that moment, Thomas Rincon had just exerted his strength and hadn't had time to adjust when he was suddenly pushed away by Wang Shuo, almost falling to the ground.

Wang Shuo pushed the ball forward with one foot, and with a burst of power from both legs, he accelerated past Thomas Rincon's defense and charged forward along the middle.

"A beautiful breakthrough down the middle!"

"Wang Shuo is dribbling forward, Dortmund is launching a quick counter-attack."

"Let's see if there's a chance this time?"

"Wang Shuo dribbled forward, and the full-back Aogo came to block him. Wang Shuo made a feint and got past him!"

"Another one passed!"

"Wang Shuo is still leading the way."

At the edge of the penalty area, when Wang Shuo broke past Aogo, Mathijsen rushed over to intercept him immediately.

But after Wang Shuo made a sudden stop, he spiked the ball to his left foot, turned to the left, and spiked past Mathijsen, but the ball was still at Wang Shuo's feet.

"This is the third person already, and Wang Shuo is still leading the way!"

Wang Shuo dribbled the ball straight toward Jerome Boateng.

Boateng was inside the penalty area, having retreated to near the edge of the box, with nowhere left to go.

The center-back gritted his teeth and chose to take a defensive position, trying his best to block Wang Shuo.

When Wang Shuo dribbled into his penalty area, Thomas Rincon and Mathijsen had to form a joint defense from both sides.

Three Hamburg defenders formed a triangle, effectively locking Wang Shuo out of the penalty area.

Just as the three were about to turn Wang Shuo into a sandwich, Wang Shuo suddenly delivered a light diagonal pass with his left foot.

The ball was passed between Boateng and Mathijsen, slowly falling to the right side of the penalty spot.

Before this, everyone's attention had been drawn to Wang Shuo.

So much so that even the Hamburg defenders didn't notice that there wasn't a single defender around Götze.

Dortmund's young player unleashed a powerful shot, sending the ball straight into Hamburg's goal.

Rost was completely powerless to do anything about it.

Götze turned and ran!

"my God!"

"I could hardly believe my eyes. Wang Shuo single-handedly launched a counter-attack, dribbling past three opposing defenders and drawing their attention before passing the ball to the unmarked Götze."

"With Dortmund's defense in dire straits, Wang Shuo dribbled through the encirclement and assisted Götze, scoring another goal for Dortmund!"

"4 to 1!"

The entire Westfalenstadion erupted in celebration!

Three minutes after Wang Shuo's goal, Dortmund launched a quick counter-attack while still under attack from Hamburg.

Wang Shuo delivered a brilliant pass, and Götze assisted Großkreutz to score his fifth goal.

5 is better than 1!

At this point, the match had already gone on for 76 minutes.

Dortmund have secured the victory!
