The God of Football starts with passive skills

Chapter 88 Record Breaker! Four Goals! Passive Skill Upgraded! I'm Not Good Enough to Be a Pie-Off! Ronaldo's Spirit Possessing Me!
The flight from Lisbon to Düsseldorf takes a full three hours.

A 2-2 draw away from home isn't a bad result.

However, this match still had a significant impact on Dortmund.

Wang Shuo believes that this is the match so far this season that has made Dortmund feel the intensity of European competition.

Dortmund also exposed many problems in this match.

The team's defense is not a major problem.

The essence of Klopp's tactics lies in the team's ability to regain possession as quickly as possible after losing the ball.

This requires a tremendous amount of effort, which is why Dortmund is so exhausted.

But so far, the team is doing better and better.

The real problem lies in the offense.

Götze and Reus are both too young and too inexperienced.

And there's Sahin.

This midfielder is indeed very good, but he is still not strong enough in European competitions, especially in high-intensity matches.

As the outside world has said.

Wang Shuo is now the only one leading the Dortmund team, carrying the entire team forward.

In Lisbon, Dortmund's attacking problems were exposed when Wang Shuo was contained against Benfica.

In addition, the team severely lacks European competition experience.

Not only the players, but also the head coaches, are participating in European competitions for the first time this season.

One crucial point is the lack of adaptability when facing teams with different styles.

Benfica is very different from all the teams they have faced before.

This is an atypical team from the Iberian Peninsula!

The football style of the Iberian Peninsula has a strong Latin American influence.

Benfica boasts a strong Latin American squad, featuring players like David Luiz, Cardozo, Di Maria, Aimar, Ramirez, and Luizio.

South American players possess exceptional individual abilities, and head coach Jesus is the type of coach who places great emphasis on overall defensive order. By combining these players with the fast pace of modern football, Benfica has become an extremely difficult opponent.

In La Liga, there is also such a team, namely Villarreal, coached by Chilean engineer Pellegrini.

Their players all possess exceptional individual skills and excellent passing coordination, making it extremely difficult for Dortmund to win the ball back.

But most importantly, Benfica's squad is very complex.

They have players with exquisite technique and outstanding individual ability, such as Di Maria, Aimar, Carlos Martins, Ramirez, and Coentrao.

The center forward is Oscar Cardozo, who is 1.93 meters tall, the midfielder is Javi Garcia from Real Madrid, and behind him are Luio and David Luiz.

The entire central axis is composed of players with very strong physical confrontation abilities.

However, these two types of players can be organically integrated into this lineup, thus forming a very special style of football.

Dortmund had never encountered a team like this before!
Wang Shuo believes that this style should come from the unique advantages of the Portuguese league.

That's South America.

South America is home to many tall center forwards and center backs who possess strong individual abilities, excellent physical strength, and good footwork, such as Cardozo, David Luiz, and Luio.

David Luiz and Luiz, as center-backs, weren't even particularly afraid of Dortmund's high pressing.

In fact, it's not just Borussia Dortmund that's struggling to adapt; teams in the Portuguese league are also finding it difficult.

Benfica currently boasts an impressive record of 19 wins, 4 draws, and 1 loss in 24 rounds of the Portuguese Primeira Liga.

They scored 61 goals and conceded only 12.

What an astonishing number!

Of course, they are not without their weaknesses.

For example, their physical strength is generally poor.

In the second half, Jesus substituted Ruben Amorim for Carlos Martins.

However, despite being one of Benfica's better defensive players, Ruben Amorim is only 1.78 meters tall, making him relatively weak in physical confrontations.

Another issue is that South American players are relatively poor in terms of tactical awareness.

For example, in this match, Benfica's strategy for defending Wang Shuo was to harass him and even foul him.

The four defenders and midfielders, including Javi Garcia, took turns fouling them.

The wound on Wang Shuo's right calf was caused in the 29th minute when he was maliciously fouled from behind by center-back Luisio while dropping back to receive the ball.

Although Wang Shuo remained calm, he immediately lost his temper, but fortunately the referee stopped him in time.

Luio ultimately received a yellow card.

Throughout the match, several Benfica defenders received yellow cards.

Left-back Coentrao and right-back Pereira are both suspended for the second leg due to accumulated yellow cards.

Even so, Klopp still criticized the referee after the match, believing that he had been too lenient in his officiating.

But there's nothing we can do; it's an away game!

Who can you reason with when it comes to home-field advantage?
But what if we go back to Dortmund's home ground?
Their approach won't work!

In conclusion, Jesus' Benfica is a very strong team, but also has a unique style.

This match in Lisbon not only taught Dortmund a lesson, but also made Wang Shuo realize his shortcomings.

He is still not strong enough!

……

"Post-match summary: 14 passive points gained."

When Wang Shuo entered the Ball God System, he immediately received a push notification.

14 passive points!
This is the highest score Wang Shuo has achieved in three seasons!
This also shows how outrageous Benfica's fouls against him were in this match.

And how lenient the referee's officiating was.

It could even be described as indulgence!

From post-match reports in Bild and Kicker magazine, Wang Shuo saw that some media outlets were criticizing Platini.

Since taking office, this UEFA president has vigorously supported leagues and teams in small and medium-sized countries.

This means that teams from the top four leagues often face severe interference from home-field advantage when playing European matches away from home.

At the very least, the passive values ​​calculated by the God of Football system are reliable.

With these 14 additional passive points, Wang Shuo has now accumulated 137 points.

Upon arriving in front of the enormous football, Wang Shuo first looked at [Breathing].

He really wanted to upgrade [Breathing] to world-class level as soon as possible and unlock the domain skill.

But right now, his most important task is to improve his strength.

His current passive skill levels are as follows.

Intercontinental level: [Breathing], [Ball feel], and [Swiftness].

National level: [Reverse foot] and [foundation].

Regional level: [Insight], [Opportunity], [Inspiration], [Coordination], and [Eagle Eye].

Professional level: [Life and Rest].

Special skill: [Damage Reduction].

After a period of adjustment and familiarization, Wang Shuo felt that [Life and Rest] was not particularly needed for the time being, so he did not upgrade this passive skill.

Perhaps this passive skill will be of great use after he turns 25.

Now, what he wants to improve is the regional-level passive skill.

All five passive skills are very useful, but there are priorities among them.

Wang Shuo made his decision quickly.

"Use 50 passive points to upgrade the passive skill [Coordination] from the regional level to the national level?"

"Yes!"

"Use 50 passive points to upgrade the passive skill [Initiative] from the regional level to the national level?"

"Yes!"

The remaining three passive skills are also very useful.

[Insight] and [Hawk Eye] go without saying; they're practically like his lidar and high-definition cameras on the field, helping him capture more information about the game.

The passive skill 【Aura】 is actually quite useful.

Especially when making decisions, Wang Shuo would often come up with brilliant ideas.

But that's only one aspect.

More importantly, another function of [Inspiration] is to capture fleeting opportunities!

Wang Shuo even felt that this one criterion alone would allow him to establish himself in European football after being promoted to a higher level.

This is definitely the standard setup for Bingfeng!
But in today's Dortmund, Wang Shuo still relies most importantly on himself.

When is the peak of the pancake?
Waaaaah, I'm not worthy, am I?
Next, he needs to accumulate more passive points through the competition and improve his overall strength as soon as possible.

Benfica?
David Lewis?
Javi Garcia?
Louis O?

Back at Westfalenstadion, you're about to see what happens!
……

In order to accumulate passive value more quickly, Wang Shuo went straight to Klopp's office after returning to Dortmund.

"Let me play in the home game against Werder Bremen this weekend!"

Klopp was visibly surprised when Wang Shuo made this request.

Between the two matches against Benfica, they will play Werder Bremen.

With the first leg ending in a 2-2 draw away from home, and now leading by 9 points in the league, rotation is definitely the way to go – to conserve energy and prepare for the Benfica match.

To put it bluntly, losing to Werder Bremen doesn't have much of an impact.

They lost to Benfica and were eliminated immediately.

"I guarantee that I will be in top form when we play Benfica!" Wang Shuo's desire to fight was extremely strong.

Having just upgraded [Coordination] and [Initiative], he now desperately needs a match to practice the two upgraded passive skills.

Klopp noticed it too.

Although he didn't understand why Wang Shuo was so eager to fight, he still agreed.

"However, I have one request: you have to go easy on me when we play Werder Bremen!"

Wang Shuo naturally agreed.

Borussia Dortmund has been plagued by injuries so far this season.

From Dede to Tinga to Kehl, a closer look reveals that many players who performed well at the beginning of the season have now been replaced.

Instead, they were replaced by young and energetic figures such as Schmelzer and Sven Bender.

Even right-back Owomoyela was overshadowed by Schmelzer in the second half of the season.

Klopp made rotations in Dortmund's home game against Werder Bremen.

But as Wang Shuo said before, when Dortmund's style of play is running smoothly, Bundesliga teams can't come up with a good way to counter it.

When they focused on limiting Wang Shuo, his entire defense was led by him.

In the 8th minute, Wang Shuo delivered a brilliant pass.

Grosskreutz made a late run into the penalty area and opened the scoring for his team.

1 is better than 0!

In the 22nd minute, Wang Shuo combined with Owomoyela and Kuba in the attacking third, creating a foul and earning a free kick in the attacking third.

Subotic headed the ball into the net.

2 is better than 0!

However, with a two-goal lead in the first half, Sven Bender reported a problem with his right foot at halftime.

Klopp quickly substituted him off the field.

With both Kehl and Tinga injured, Sven Bender is the only remaining option for the defensive midfield position.

This kid has performed exceptionally well this season and has made tremendous progress.

But in the 58th minute, Feulner was also injured and had to leave the field.

Moreover, he was carried off the field on a stretcher.

This immediately alarmed Klopp, who quickly made a substitution, taking Wang Shuo off the field.

There's no way around it; this is Dortmund's precious darling. If he gets injured, how will they compete against Benfica?

In the 75th minute, Werder Bremen pulled one back.

In the final twenty minutes or so, Schaaf's team almost equalized the score.

In the end, Borussia Dortmund narrowly defeated Werder Bremen 2-1 at home.

Fortunately, after the match, it turned out to be a false alarm for both Sven Bender and Feulner.

Sven Bender, in particular, will not be affected by next Thursday's game.

Through this match, Wang Shuo also got to work on his two upgraded passive skills.

This gives him more confidence for the Europa League match next Thursday.

The German media is still arguing.

Media outlets including Ruhr Nürnberg, Westdeutsche Zeitung, and Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung all support Wang Shuo's goal-scoring performance in the match against Benfica.

He has already scored 14 goals in the Europa League.

They are just one goal away from Klinsmann's legendary 15 goals.

……

Before the match against Benfica, Klopp approached Wang Shuo, hoping he could give a media interview and say a few words of encouragement to help boost the team's morale.

After drawing with Benfica away from home, the team's injuries have started to increase again.

This is actually quite normal.

It's April already.

However, Dortmund's squad is relatively thin, so the impact is quite significant.

The day before the match, Wang Shuo gave a joint interview to Ruhr News and Westdeutsche Zeitung in the small press conference room at Westfalenstadion.

The topic naturally revolved around the goals for this season: the Bundesliga and the Europa League.

Wang Shuo also said a lot of things to boost the team's morale.

When the topic turned to Klinsmann's 15th Europa League goal record, Wang Shuo expressed some expectations for the upcoming second leg match.

“I specifically looked up the data for the 95/96 UEFA Cup.”

Wang Shuo wore a confident smile.

"It's quite a coincidence that Bayern also faced Benfica in the knockout stage that season. They won the first leg 4-1 at home and the second leg 3-1 away, eliminating Benfica with an aggregate score of 7-2."

"Klinsmann scored four goals in the first leg alone!"

Then, Wang Shuo said a few more words praising Klinsmann.

But at the very end, he said one sentence.

"I hope I can have the opportunity to be like Klinsmann, helping the team secure a place in the next round by consistently scoring goals!"

"So, in Thursday's game, I not only hope to score a goal, but also hope to break the record."

After a pause, Wang Shuo smiled and said something.

"Benfica is a magical team. If we can witness the birth of two historical records, I believe it will be a great event in European football!"

When Wang Shuo's words were relayed, they quickly drew responses from German and Portuguese media.

While the Portuguese media unanimously criticized and questioned Wang Shuo, they also reminded Benfica to be wary of him.

In Germany, at least a large portion of the media outlets that support Bayern Munich do not want Wang Shuo to achieve this goal.

They even mocked him for making boastful claims.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that, barring injury, Wang Shuo is highly likely to break Klinsmann's historical record.

But there are always some people who still take chances.

What if he, like Klinsmann, fails to score after reaching the semi-finals?

The reaction from Borussia Dortmund fans was extremely enthusiastic.

All the major fan clubs have taken action upon hearing the news.

When Borussia Dortmund and Benfica entered the stadium on the evening of April 8th, and the stadium announcer introduced the starting lineups of both teams and called out Wang Shuo's name, all 66,000 fans in the stadium were shouting the same word at the top of their lungs.

"Wang Shuo! Goal!"

"Wang Shuo!"

Goal!

Seats were installed in the south stand due to UEFA regulations.

But the atmosphere was still quite lively.

Countless fans banged drums and gongs, cheering for the Dortmund players at the stadium.

Even before the match started, the sheer force of the Dortmund fans took Benfica, who were playing away, by surprise.

The atmosphere at this home game is absolutely terrifying!

……

Goalkeeper: Giulio Cesar (not the one from Inter Milan);
Defense: David Luiz, Luio, Sidne and Ruben Amorin;

Midfield: Carlos Martins and Javi Garcia form the double pivot, with Di Maria, Aimar and Ramirez in front;
Forward: Cardozo.

Both full-backs are suspended for this match because they received yellow cards in the previous game.

Furthermore, if Benfica captain Luís O also receives a yellow card in this round, he will be suspended for the next round even if Benfica advances.

Of course, Wang Shuo didn't think they had a chance to advance.

Dortmund also made adjustments for this match due to injuries.

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

Midfield: Sahin and Sven Bender form the double pivot, with Reus, Götze and Kuba in front;

Forward: Wang Shuo.

Both teams adopted a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Wang Shuo noticed that David Luiz, who usually plays center-back, was moved to the left wing in this match.

The center-back was chosen to be Brazilian youngster Sidne.

这名19岁的小将身高1米85，但身体非常强壮，反而比1米88的大卫·路易斯还笨重。

His technical characteristics are actually quite similar to those of Luis O, who is 1.92 meters tall.

Moreover, neither of them possesses the same level of individual skill as David Lewis.

This is the price Benfica paid for the first leg!
With Coentrao gone on the left wing, Jesus moved the faster and more agile David Luiz to play on the left wing.

We need to be wary of Dortmund's right flank, particularly Kuba's side.

For the middle lane, it should be the same as before.

Luisio and Javi Garcia positioned themselves, while Sidney closely marked Wang Shuo.

Adjustments were made on the defensive end, and Jesus also made changes on the offensive end.

They adopted an aggressive opening strategy.

Jesus hopes to disrupt Dortmund's rhythm in this way.

Incidentally, the referee for this match was Keppers, an international referee from the Netherlands.

Before the match began, he made it very clear to both team captains that he hoped to see a smooth and exciting game.

After the match began, Benfica, with their superior technical skills, took control of the ball and launched their own attacks.

Just three minutes later, Aimar made a dribbling breakthrough in the middle, drawing a foul from Schmelzer.

But Keppers only called a foul, without issuing a card or a warning.

The audience erupted in applause.

Benfica seized the opportunity to launch wave after wave of attacks.

First, Carlos Martins' free kick, followed by Di Maria's shot from a tight angle.

The ensuing corner kick was headed wide by David Luiz in the ensuing scramble.

Jesus' strategy in this match is to take the initiative and dominate the game.

Isn't Dortmund good at attacking and good at playing in the first half?

Benfica, with their superior technique, launched the first attack, preventing Dortmund from capitalizing on their advantages!

This not only made the Borussia Dortmund fans at the stadium anxious, but also all the Dortmund fans watching the live broadcast of the game.

Especially as the game progressed, everyone noticed that Benfica's initial offensive showed no signs of stopping.

For nearly 20 minutes, Dortmund had not even managed a single shot on goal.

However, Klopp's team also did a good job defensively and was well-organized.

Benfica created several dangerous situations, but they mostly escaped unscathed.

For example, this time in the 20th minute.

Aimar suddenly delivered a through ball as he broke through the middle.

Di Maria broke into the left side of the penalty area and, under pressure from Subotic, unleashed a left-footed shot.

But the shot was too forced, and the ball went directly out of bounds without even hitting the side netting.

This is the effect of Benfica's aggressive attack.

They made a lot of noise, but posed no real threat, let alone any clear scoring opportunities!
Why does Wang Shuo think that Borussia Dortmund is getting better and better this season, and that the team is playing with more and more confidence?

The start of this match is proof of that!
When the team was in dire straits and was being suppressed by the opponent using their technical advantage, Dortmund did not panic.

Conversely, Wang Shuo was in front, Sahin in the middle, and Hummels in the back; the three of them worked together to control the team's rhythm and stabilize the situation.

Dortmund excels at attacking. Therefore, Dortmund's players know better than anyone that after a prolonged period of high-tempo attacking play, the pace of the game will inevitably slow down.

In the 22nd minute, when Sahin moved forward on the left side of midfield to support Götze and Reus on the left flank, Schmelzer suddenly made a high-speed run down the left flank.

Reus spotted his teammate and promptly passed the ball to him.

Schmelzer caught up, stopped the ball, and glanced ahead.

Wang Shuo is raising his hand to ask for the ball.

Schmelzer delivered a diagonal cross with his left foot, sending the ball directly into the penalty area.

Schmelzer's pass was a bit high because of Ramirez's interference.

After the pass, everyone thought that there was probably no chance for the ball.

Everyone knows that Wang Shuo is extremely bad at heading.

But Wang Shuo still sprinted forward quickly.

As he charged forward, he turned his head to watch Schmelzer's pass and anticipate its landing point.

[Insight], [Eagle Eye], and [Opportunity] not only allow him to clearly capture the trajectory of the football in mid-air, but also give him a thorough understanding of the movements of every defender around him.

While moving at high speed, he was also seizing the initiative, ready to block the position at any time.

When he determined where the ball would land, he rushed over immediately.

With the boost from [Swiftness], he got ahead of West Germany and gained the upper hand.

Based on his prediction, he knew perfectly well that he had no way of stopping the ball.

So, he instantly poured all his strength into his legs, using the momentum of the sprint to push upwards with all his might, and jumped straight up like a spring rising from the ground.

In mid-air, still supported by the national-level [Foundation], he controlled the muscles in his core abdominal area and, with the cooperation of the national-level [Coordination], stabilized his body and adjusted his posture to face the incoming ball.

Like everyone else, Sidney felt that Wang Shuo was not good at heading the ball at all.

They all instinctively felt that Wang Shuo would use his feet or his body to stop the ball.

By the time Wang Shuo jumped up first, Sidney had already missed his best chance.

The subsequent jump was more of a desperate attempt to disrupt Wang Shuo.

But in mid-air, the ball came to Wang Shuo's face. While controlling his body, he gathered all his strength into his head and finally pushed his head forward with all his might.

With the help of his continental-level ball control, Wang Shuo's forehead made solid contact with the soccer ball.

After being headed on by Wang Shuo, the football immediately changed direction and veered towards the left side of Benfica's goal at an even faster speed.

Goalkeeper Giulio Cesar reacted quickly, diving to make a save, but the ball still slipped through his hands and into the Benfica goal.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!"

"In the 22nd minute, Dortmund broke through Benfica's defense and took the lead!"

"That's the Hornets' first shot of the game!"

"The goal came from Wang Shuo!"

"And it was a header!!"

"Heading is Wang Shuo's worst skill!"

"At this moment, Wang Shuo is like a black bomber!"

Wang Shuo collided with West Dene, but upon landing, he managed to regain his balance and immediately turned and rushed off the field, running all the way to the sidelines to celebrate his goal.

The Dortmund players also chased after them.

The entire stadium resounded with thunderous drums and thunderous cheers!
The announcer at the scene was equally excited.

As Wang Shuo rushed to the side of the stands to celebrate with the fans, the announcer shouted loudly in accompaniment to the sound of drums.

"Did you see that, Borussia Dortmund fans?!"

Tell me, who scored for us?

"Wang Shuo!" The more than 6 fans at the scene cheered in unison.

Who scored the goal?

"Wang Shuo!" The voice grew even louder.
"Speak louder, who is it?"

"Wang Shuo! Wang Shuo! Wang Shuo!!"

The whole stadium was shouting!

"My God, this is absolutely incredible!"

"We saw the entire Westfalenstadion chanting Wang Shuo's name."

"Indeed, he just scored a memorable goal!"

"With this goal, Wang Shuo's goal tally in the Europa League this season has reached 15, matching the historical record set by Klinsmann in the 95/96 season!"

"But we all know that Wang Shuo said before the competition that he not only wanted to equal the record, but also to break it!"

Let's wait and see!

……

Dortmund's attack was like a tornado.

It came on very fiercely!

In the 22nd minute, Wang Shuo scored with a header, giving the team the lead.

Then, taking advantage of the chaos following Benfica's loss of possession and their fatigue after the attack, Dortmund launched a quick counter-attack.

In the 27th minute, Wang Shuo and Reus combined on the left wing.

When Reus crossed from the byline, Amorim blocked the ball out of bounds.

Sahin took a corner kick, and Hummels headed the ball into the net at the near post.

2 is better than 0!

At this point, Dortmund had gained a certain advantage in the game.

When Benfica began their counterattack, in the 34th minute, Dortmund intercepted the ball in their own half and immediately launched a counter-attack.

Wang Shuo moved to the right wing to receive the ball and then passed it back to Götze.

Götze passed back again, creating a one-two pass.

Wang Shuo cut inside and delivered a brilliant pass, passing the ball through the dense crowd to the unmarked Reus.

Amorim, who was originally a midfielder, completely lost his position. Reus received the ball, broke into the penalty area, and scored against Benfica.

3 is better than 0!

They scored 3 goals in just 12 minutes!
Borussia Dortmund completely stunned Benfica!

By the time Benfica regained their footing, only 10 minutes remained in the first half.

In the final 10 minutes, Benfica were unable to pose a threat, managing only one long-range shot.

At the end of the first half, the entire Westfalenstadion was still filled with Borussia Dortmund fans chanting for a goal.

"They're still hoping for Wang Shuo's goal!"

"At this moment, Borussia Dortmund not only hopes the team can win a game, but also hopes to see Wang Shuo score again and break the historical record set by Klinsmann!"

Once the Dortmund players returned to the home team's locker room, Subotic initiated the meeting, with Reus and Götze among those who responded, and everyone in Dortmund unanimously agreed.

"Wang, the second half has begun. Your only task is to score a goal!"

"You don't need to worry about anything else, just stay at the forefront and ideally be firmly anchored in the opponent's restricted area."

Wang Shuo was deeply moved.

These teammates were worth having!
Truly righteous!

Who says I'm not worthy of being called a "pancake whiz"?
stand out!
……

Is it fun being a pancake vendor?
It’s so cool!
While everyone else was fighting tooth and nail, Wang Shuo strolled casually along the opponent's back line.

At that moment, he fully experienced the joy of the dashing guy.

As long as there's no blood loss, no head breakage, and no need to mess up my hairstyle!

Don't be fooled by Wang Shuo's seemingly leisurely strolls; in reality, every move he makes puts him in the most advantageous position, allowing him to surge forward and score easy baskets at any moment.

The crucial problem is that these damn teammates just can't get the ball to me!
Damn it, you promised to let me be Bingfeng?
What about passing the ball?
If I'm not fed a pancake, what will I eat?
And so a very interesting scene unfolded on the field.

Every time Dortmund's attack was thwarted, Wang Shuo would shrug at his teammates on the other side, or even shout.

Teammates would raise their hands apologetically.

"Come on, my dear teammates! I'm hungry, I want some pancakes!"

As Wang Shuo ran back, he cheered loudly for his teammates.

The Dortmund players have truly realized that without Wang Shuo, their attack is completely stumbling.

As the season progressed, everyone increasingly realized how significant Wang Shuo's contributions to Dortmund's attack were.

It's not just about goals and assists, but about everything.

With him on the court, the passing game became incredibly smooth.

Wang Shuo often played a transitional role, running, receiving, passing, running...

It's really quite inconspicuous.

Some media outlets even claimed that he was deliberately inflating his data.

But when Wang Shuo is just strolling around in front, only getting easy baskets, or when Wang Shuo is absent, Dortmund's players realize that attacking is really too difficult.

Even the opportunities that were painstakingly created seemed particularly messy.

In the end, Wang Shuo had no choice but to step in himself.

As expected, Desheng was right.

Do it yourself and you'll have plenty to eat and wear!
In the 58th minute, Wang Shuo dropped back to the edge of the penalty area, received a pass from Sahin, and then passed it to Götze.

Götze dribbled diagonally into the right side of the penalty area and then passed the ball to Kuba on the right side of the penalty area, sending him to chase.

Both are passes, but the passes from Wang Shuo and Götze are truly different.

Wang Shuo's ball is easy to receive.

What about Götze?
As Kuba chased after the ball, he realized that Götze's pass was slightly too far forward.

Given his current physical condition, he can barely maintain any speed.

then what should we do?

Kuba had no choice but to throw himself out and slide the ball towards the middle.

The ball was passed, but the person was really in a sorry state.

And what about Wang Shuo?

After Wang Shuo dropped back to pass the ball, he quickly turned and moved forward, lurking between Sidney and Luisio. He started quickly from the penalty spot, caught up with the cross, and easily swept the ball into Cesar's goal with his right foot.

He finally got to eat the pancake!
In an instant, the entire Westfalenstadion erupted in cheers!
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!"

"The 16th goal!!"

"A magnificent 16th goal!"

"Another legendary record has been set in Europa League history!"

Dortmund scores again!

"Wang Shuo has scored his 16th goal in the Europa League this season, breaking Klinsmann's record!"

Wang Shuo knew the ball was in after he took the shot.

He excitedly turned and ran, rushing to the sidelines at top speed and heading straight for the home team's coaching bench.

At this very moment, Klopp is excitedly throwing his farmer's three punches.

Upon seeing Wang Shuo rushing over, Klopp immediately opened his arms to greet him excitedly.

Wang Shuo hugged Klopp tightly.

At first, Klopp was also very excited.

But they soon realized something was wrong.

Wait, what are you doing, rubbing against me?

Holy crap, it's my brand new suit!

You're covered in sweat, are you going to wipe it on me?

Then, more and more players came out and surrounded Klopp.

"The entire Westfalenstadion has completely turned into a sea of ​​celebration!"

"Everyone is cheering and singing for our Chinese player, Wang Shuo!"

"The 16th goal, the highest number of goals scored in a single season in Europa League history!"

"We are extremely honored to be able to witness the birth of this great record together tonight!"

"It's early Friday morning in the capital, but countless fans are still glued to their TVs, cheering for Wang Shuo's goal!"

"That's the charm of football!"

Through television broadcasts, countless Chinese fans saw that in faraway Dortmund, Germany, as Wang Shuo and others gradually dispersed, head coach Klopp showed no sign of ecstatic excitement.

He was completely deflated!
Uncle Beard turned around angrily and walked back to the home team's coaching bench, still cursing under his breath.

"Screw UEFA! Who the hell says you have to wear a suit to manage a match?"

"My wife just bought me a suit, it was very expensive, and now it's in this state?"

Buvac and the others couldn't help but laugh.

It's all wrinkled and crumpled; it hardly looks like a suit anymore.

People who don't know might think it's pickled cabbage that's been fermented for a long time.

Hmm, you know what, it really does have a certain smell!
……

Dortmund's teammates aren't always completely incapable of providing assists.

After Wang Shuo scored his 16th Europa League goal of the season, Benfica launched a furious counterattack.

But in the 70th minute, Dortmund intercepted the ball outside their own penalty area.

Sven Bender intercepted the ball and passed it to Hummels.

Dortmund's center-back quickly rushed out of the penalty area, having already observed the area ahead before receiving the ball, and then dribbled it forward with one foot.

When they caught up again, Hummels delivered a long pass.

Meanwhile, in the attacking third, Wang Shuo was making a quick start, chasing after the two center-backs.

At that moment, Jesus, standing in front of the away team's bench, was filled with regret, thinking he shouldn't have placed David Luiz on the left wing.

Why?

If time were to stand still, it would be easy to see that both Sidney and Luio had been left far behind by Wang Shuo, to the point that they couldn't catch up.

On the contrary, David Lewis on the left wing quickly chased back.

But Wang Shuo takes a straight line, while David Lewis takes a diagonal line.

According to the Pythagorean theorem, Wang Shuo is definitely faster.

After Wang Shuo caught up with Hummels' pass, he stopped the ball on the right side of the penalty area, then quickly chased after him, using his body to block David Luiz, and dribbled into the right side of the penalty area.

Giulio Cesar decisively abandoned his goal and charged towards Wang Shuo.

But who is Wang Shuo?
Everyone says he inherited Ronaldo's mantle.

Especially when facing the goalkeeper one-on-one, it's as if Ronaldo's spirit has possessed him.

The continuous body swaying and feints completely confused Cesar.

Especially at the end, a shot that seemed like a powerful strike tricked Cesar into diving to the side, but in reality, he changed his technique midway and turned it into a chip shot, which passed the ball over Cesar and landed on the undefended goal behind him.

Luisio and Sidney chased after them all the way back.

But by the time they reached the edge of the six-yard box, Wang Shuo's shot had already found the back of the net.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!"

"5 to 0!"

"hat trick!"

"My God, Benfica's performance in this match was a complete rout!"

"Especially after conceding three goals in the first half, their performance in the second half showed no improvement whatsoever."

"On the contrary, after entering the second half, Wang Shuo's consecutive goals led to Benfica's goal being breached time and again!"

"This is Wang Shuo's 17th Europa League goal this season!"

"And he even pulled off a hat trick!"

"He certainly lived up to his pre-match promise, not only equaling Klinsmann's record with a goal, but even breaking it and bringing it to 17 goals!"

Amid cheers from the fans, Wang Shuo excitedly celebrated with his teammates.

But when the game restarted, everyone noticed that Wang Shuo was still running hard and constantly looking for opportunities.

He continues to lead the Dortmund players, launching attacks against Benfica.

In the first leg in Lisbon, Benfica's tactics thoroughly enraged Dortmund.

That's no longer aggressive.

It's dirty!
The Dortmund players returned home seething with anger.

Now, they're going to give it all back to Benfica!
Moreover, it's happening on the court, in the most honorable way possible, to exact revenge!

When the game reached the 84th minute, Wang Shuo still dropped back to receive the ball, passed it to Götze, and then turned around to chase after him.

When Götze was dribbling past his marker on the right side of the penalty area, he was fouled by Aimar, who was tracking back.

The Argentine midfielder received a yellow card from referee Keppers.

This was the second yellow card of the match.

Dutch referee Keppers officiated the match very well.

The match proceeded very smoothly, with neither side making any significant moves.

"This free kick is suitable for a left-footed player to take."

"It's about 23 meters from the goal."

"In Dortmund, Sahin is the one who is good at free kicks with his left foot."

But when everyone thought that Sahin would take the punishment, Wang Shuo stepped forward instead.

"I'll take this ball!"

Wang Shuo wasn't discussing it; he was stating his own demands.

Sahin knew about Wang Shuo's free-kick ability.

I practiced almost every day, and I was punished a few times.

More importantly, many people believe that Wang Shuo is only good at taking free kicks with his right foot, but little do they know that his ability to take free kicks with his left foot is in no way inferior to that with his right foot.

Therefore, Shaheen did not refuse.

"I'll cover for you."

Wang Shuo agreed, "You run first."

Shaheen nodded.

After setting up the balls, Wang Shuo slowly backed away.

The effects of the national-level "Reverse Foot" are not limited to developing his reverse foot and giving him a special ability to perfectly replicate the techniques of his right foot onto his left foot.

It can also enhance right-brain thinking.

The so-called right-brain thinking is profound and complex, and Wang Shuo has been exploring and researching it.

One of these things he had never told anyone was this.

That is, the curved shot he takes with his left foot has a more unpredictable trajectory than his right foot, making it more difficult for the goalkeeper to anticipate.

He believes this is also one of the advantages of right-brain thinking.

At this moment, he stood in front of the free throw spot.

Everyone thought that Sahin, who has a left foot, would definitely take the penalty.

Because Wang Shuo is a right-footed player, he can train to use his left foot, but the difficulty of taking a free kick with his left foot is unimaginable, and almost impossible.

Therefore, when Sahin took a quick run-up and stepped forward, everyone thought that Sahin would be the one to take the penalty, and the wall of players immediately moved accordingly.

But no one expected that Sahin would quickly get past the football.

The next moment, Wang Shuo suddenly appeared, and before anyone could notice, he steadied himself on his right foot and unleashed a curved shot with his left.

The football quickly curved in a beautiful arc and headed straight for the goal.

Benfica goalkeeper Cesar was also misled by Sahin's run-up. When he realized what was happening and focused on Wang Shuo's penalty kick, he noticed that the ball's trajectory was somewhat erratic as it went over the wall.

This prevented him from accurately predicting the trajectory and direction of the ball.

By the time he made his judgment and leaped to the side, it was too late.

The football nestled into the top right corner of Benfica's goal.

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!”

"A quadruple win!!"

"My God, Wang Shuo was on fire tonight, he even scored four goals!"

"And he scored another direct free kick!"

"Wait a minute, he used his left foot!"

"My God, the last time he scored a free kick, he used his right foot, but this time he used his left foot!"

"This is simply unbelievable!"

"Does that mean he can take accurate free kicks with both feet?"

"How on earth did he do it?"

On the court, after taking the free throw, Wang Shuo excitedly rushed off the court to celebrate.

The score on the scoreboard at Westfalenstadion instantly changed from 5-0 to 6-0.

Wang Shuo's name resounded throughout the stadium once again!
