The God of Football starts with passive skills

Chapter 90 Faster than Messi! Who in their right mind would dive? The madness of Atletico Madrid! Klopp: Wang Shuo, I love you to death!
Beep!
The moment Atletico Madrid midfielder Paulo Assunção fell to the ground clutching his face, Danish referee Larsson immediately blew his whistle and pointed towards Borussia Dortmund's half.

In an instant, the entire Westfalenstadion stadium erupted in boos.

“I didn’t touch him on purpose; he came to me of his own accord.”

Götze rushed toward the referee in a very excited manner.

As soon as Wang Shuo saw that something was wrong, he immediately chased after her and grabbed Götze before the referee Larsson could react. "Hey, Mario, calm down."

"I didn't touch him! That damn bastard came at me on his own! I didn't foul him!" Götze persisted.

The young Dortmund player was clearly furious with Assunção!
"Listen to me, calm down, listen to me!"

Wang Shuo grabbed Götze's shoulders and shook him violently to calm him down.

"Please take it back, I'll handle it, okay?"

Götze regained some composure, but was still furious. "I really didn't touch him. I just wanted to break through, and his head came up to me and touched my hand."

“I know, I’ll negotiate, you go back.” Wang Shuo pointed to his own half of the field without room for argument.

The referee has already made his decision, so possession of the ball must be given to Atletico Madrid.

Götze was still fuming, but he obeyed Wang Shuo's order and turned to run back to his own half of the field.

At this moment, Asongsang had also stood up.

The referee went over to check and found that there was nothing seriously wrong.

But this time, Dortmund's chances of Atletico Madrid intercepting the ball and launching a counter-attack near the midfield line were completely gone.

Wang Shuo walked quickly towards Larson.

“He’s definitely alright, right?” Wang Shuo asked the Dane in English.

According to UEFA's officiating standards, the referee uses English during the match.

After serving as the team captain for a period of time, Wang Shuo also realized the necessity of learning English.

After hiring Shen Qinghe as his personal assistant, Wang Shuo began learning some essential English conversation skills for the field from her, in order to facilitate communication with the head referee.

Larsen also sensed Götze's excitement from earlier.

Götze is still very young and has a bit of baby fat, which makes him quite likable and gives him a well-behaved look.

On the other hand, Asongsan looks like the cunning kind of guy.

“Yes, but Götze’s hand did touch Assunção’s head,” Larsson explained.

"Of course, I saw it too."

Wang Shuo does not deny this.

The call has already been made; arguing is pointless, and the referee's authority must be upheld unconditionally.

“But Mr. Larsson, look at them, they’re making such a big move, they’re even faking it. He clearly went up to them on purpose, while Götze just waved his hand subconsciously. Does that mean we have to keep our hands completely still and close to our bodies when we’re playing football?”

What's most annoying about Asongsan is that he's persistent and clingy.

Standing at 1.73 meters tall, it is very agile and also very persistent.

Once he started clinging to me, he was like a leech, impossible to shake off.

If you're not careful and bump into him, he'll fall to the ground immediately if the timing isn't right.

But he has many dirty tricks up his sleeve.

Some might ask, then why not use dirty tricks on him?
This is simply a matter of playing habits.

To put it bluntly, what decent person would spend all their time thinking about using these underhanded tricks?
Just like the Oscar-worthy performances of those Barcelona players, are you sure they haven't had professional training?

What normal player would do that?

Scumbag!

"You should properly restrain some of their behavior, otherwise it's unfair to us! This is our home turf!" Wang Shuo protested.

Larson nodded. "I understand."

After walking away, Larsson immediately ran over and called over Atlético Madrid's captain, Antonio Lopez.

Wang Shuo didn't know how the referee instructed Atletico Madrid.

But he and Dortmund are both having a major headache right now.

This Atletico Madrid team is really strong to have made it to the Europa League semi-finals!

Many people might think Atletico Madrid's attack is very strong when they see this lineup.

Aguero, Forlán, Simão, and Reyes are all world-renowned football stars with exceptional individual abilities.

But once you actually play against Atletico Madrid, you'll definitely realize you were wrong!
This Atletico Madrid attacking team is indeed very strong.

But their defense is stronger!

Therefore, Atletico Madrid actually plays quite poorly in the league, but performs exceptionally well in cup competitions.

The same applies to the Spanish Copa del Rey and the Europa League.

Wang Shuo turned his head and glanced at the Spaniard with a full beard in front of the away team's coaching bench.

Enrique Sánchez Flores, 45 years old, from Madrid, a true second-generation footballer.

His father, Isidro Sánchez, was a key right-back for Real Madrid in the 60s, and was teammates with Real Madrid legend Alfredo Di Stéfano, with whom he had a very good relationship.

So good that Di Stefano became Flores' godfather.

Flores' career spanned from Valencia to Real Madrid, and finally to Zaragoza.

His coaching career took him from Real Madrid's youth team to Getafe to Valencia, then to Benfica, before joining Atletico Madrid in 09.

His rise to fame began in Valencia.

During his tenure, Valencia consistently had the best defense in La Liga.

Atletico Madrid values ​​Flores precisely because of his ability to coach the defense.

In this specific match, although Flores played a 4-4-2 formation, Atletico Madrid's defense started from the forwards.

With La Liga proving difficult to achieve, Atlético Rojiblancos are pinning all their hopes on the Europa League and the Copa del Rey.

This made their players fight extra hard in the game, with everyone scrambling for the ball.

But the most important thing is the speed of retreat.

Almost every time Dortmund dribbled past the halfway line, they had already retreated to defend.

Dortmund is not a team that is particularly good at passing and controlling the ball.

Therefore, it becomes increasingly difficult to get the ball out from midfield.

In addition, the Atletico Madrid players made a lot of hand movements, which led to Götze almost losing control just now.

Although they are leading 1-0, the score is not secure.

Both Götze and the Dortmund players are relatively young and prone to impatience.

Wang Shuo turned his head and glanced at the scoreboard at Westfalenstadion.

It's been almost 23 minutes!
Apart from the opening goal, neither team managed to score, let alone have a single shot on goal.

The match was intense, but both teams placed great emphasis on defense, and their strategies were very detailed, with the players executing them effectively.

But Borussia Dortmund is more anxious than Atletico Madrid.

The fatigue in the second half was like a Damocles' sword hanging over the heads of Dortmund players.

Wang Shuo felt he had to do something!
……

Unable to penetrate the midfield, Atletico Madrid began to rely more on long passes.

Moreover, the main attack is behind the two flanks.

In the 25th minute, near the halfway line in his own half, Sahin, under intense pressure, was forced to pass back to Subotic.

Dortmund's center-back launched a long pass to the left flank of the attacking third, aiming to get behind Ujfalusi.

Reus made a high-speed run forward, but Ujfalusi beat him to it and headed the ball back.

Both sides engaged in back-and-forth pressing near the center line, with possession changing hands frequently.

The match was also very intense.

In the rush, Raul Garcia tried to pass the ball to Aguero, who had dropped back to receive it.

As a result, the ball was not passed well.

When Aguero controlled the ball, he directly stopped it on Dortmund's left flank.

Before Aguero could rush over, Schmelzer immediately passed the ball back to Hummels.

Aguero continued his relentless pressure.

But Hummels immediately passed the ball to Sahin, who then passed it back to Schmelzer on the left flank of the midfield.

At that moment, Reyes rushed over.

Just as Schmelzer was about to pass the message back, he heard Wang Shuo shout.

"Give it to me!"

Wang Shuo actually ran back from the forward line to an open space near the left side of the midfield line to ask for the ball.

Schmelzer passed the ball without hesitation.

Reyes immediately gave chase.

Wang Shuo had already sensed Reyes's movements even before he received the ball.

With his back to the direction of the attack, he stretched out the inside of his left foot to meet Schmelzer's pass, and with a quick turn, he turned around from his left side.

Aguero retreated from the front and charged after Wang Shuo.

This Argentinian is very ambitious and resentful of Wang Shuo's recent rapid rise.

He rushed up to Wang Shuo and, without thinking twice, launched a sliding tackle.

Both the player and the ball must remain with me!
But Wang Shuo had already seen him.

He controlled the ball with his left foot, turned, and then flicked it with his right foot, just in time to avoid Aguero's tackle.

Having just dribbled past Aguero, Wang Shuo shifted the ball back to his right foot with his left, just in time to avoid Reyes who rushed over to defend.

Wang Shuo even deliberately bumped Reyes in the chest with his left shoulder.

The advantages of leveraging national-level foundations are becoming apparent at this moment.

Wang Shuo exerted force instantly, and Reyes was almost knocked off his balance.

And what about Wang Shuo?

As if nothing had happened, he dribbled past Aguero, who was sliding in to tackle him, and Reyes, who was pressing him, and charged forward with the ball.

"Beautiful fried dough balls!!"

"Look at Dortmund's attack this time."

Wang Shuo dribbled diagonally towards the center, but by then, both of Atletico Madrid's defensive lines had already taken their positions.

Raul Garcia and Paulo Assunção had returned to their positions and were blocking Wang Shuo's way.

Wang Shuo remained fearless and continued to dribble forward at top speed.

Just as he was about to break into the two-man defense, Wang Shuo suddenly delivered a diagonal pass and shouted, "Marco!"

As he called out, Wang Shuo made a gesture with both hands, indicating that Reus should pass the ball back.

Then, he suddenly accelerated and instantly rushed past the two defenders, Raul Garcia and Assunção.

Without the ball, Atletico Madrid's two midfielders are no match for Wang Shuo's speed.

Moreover, their attention was drawn to Wang Shuo's pass.

Reus received the ball right behind Raul Garcia.

As soon as he received the ball, Ujfalusi was already right behind him, preventing him from turning around.

Without hesitation or stopping the ball, Reus passed it back to Wang Shuo's forward run.

"A beautiful one-two pass!"

"Wang Shuo continues to attack with the ball!"

After quickly catching up, Wang Shuo dribbled the ball forward and continued to sprint at top speed, heading straight for Atletico Madrid's center-back.

Both Domingos and Perea were retreating continuously.

Moreover, the two center-backs maintained tight positioning, precisely to guard against Wang Shuo breaking through them.

Flores said that in a one-on-one situation, Wang Shuo is one of the most threatening attackers in European football today.

How many cases have there been of people being devoured by Wang Shuo when they were fighting alone?
Atletico Madrid's two center-backs dared not be careless and joined forces to try to contain Wang Shuo.

If time were to stand still at that moment, one would surely notice that when Wang Shuo dribbled into Atletico Madrid's 30-meter zone, he was surrounded by Atletico Madrid players.

There were a total of 7 people.

They were all desperately defending, completely surrounding Wang Shuo in the middle.

And what about Wang Shuo?

He continued to dribble forward with his head down.

As he rushed to the edge of the penalty area, facing Perea and Dominguez, Wang Shuo used a series of feints, constantly swaying his body from side to side, while skillfully controlling the ball with his feet.

Before the match, Flores gave specific instructions.

Atletico Madrid players are generally short, which puts them at a disadvantage when taking set pieces. Moreover, Wang Shuo has scored direct free kicks with both his left and right feet.

Therefore, we should try to minimize fouls within the 30-meter zone to avoid giving Dortmund free kick opportunities.

Atletico Madrid players mostly opted to box out for positions.

But under Wang Shuo's relentless pressure, they had no way to retreat.

Just outside the left side of the arc zone, Domingos chose to press forward.

He wanted to use his body to support Wang Shuo and force him to stop.

But just as he lunged to grab it, Wang Shuo's eyes lit up.

finally come!

I've been waiting for you for a long time!
Wang Shuo suddenly delivered a pass with the outside of his right foot.

The ball was quickly passed from Domingos to the edge of the penalty area.

Almost simultaneously, a yellow figure swiftly surged forward, dribbling Wang Shuo's pass into the penalty area before chasing after it and slotting the ball into the right side of the goal.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"In the 25th minute, Mario Götze broke through Atlético Madrid's goal!"

"This was absolutely an unexpected collaboration!"

"We all thought that Wang Shuo wanted to rely on his personal ability to draw a foul from the opponent in the frontcourt."

"But unexpectedly, Götze suddenly appeared."

"Wang Shuo's pass was perfectly timed, helping Götze break into the penalty area and score a one-on-one goal!"

"2 to 0!"

"At least half the credit for this goal should go to Wang Shuo."

"He dribbled from near the halfway line all the way to the edge of the penalty area, then assisted Götze to score a one-on-one goal, showcasing his individual ability to the fullest!"

"Therefore, in crucial moments, Dortmund still needs to rely on Wang Shuo's performance!"

After Götze scored, Wang Shuo was the first to rush over and celebrate with him.

After avenging himself, Götze jumped for joy.

When he rushed to the sidelines to celebrate his goal, he even knelt down on one knee, pulled up Wang Shuo's right foot, and used his jersey to wipe away the grass clippings and stains.

"I thought you weren't going to pass the ball out!"

Götze couldn't stop smiling.

The teammates who caught up to celebrate were all shocked.

It turns out that Wang Shuo had planned this all along!
One player dribbled the ball for thirty or forty meters, attracting so many defenders, before passing the ball to a teammate, creating a one-on-one opportunity.

This ability is absolutely amazing!
"They all say you're the Beckham of the Bundesliga, and some even say you're Ronaldo, but I think you're more like Ronaldinho, a magician on the football field!"

Götze hugged Wang Shuo tightly, celebrating the goal with him.

……

"This kid is impossible to defend against!"

In front of the away team's bench, Atletico Madrid coach Flores couldn't help but let out a helpless sigh after seeing Wang Shuo assist Götze's goal.

According to his pre-match plan, it would be best to avoid conceding a goal in the first half, or at least concede only one goal.

But two have already been lost.

This is getting a bit tricky!
"He reminds me of Messi when he burst onto the scene!" Assistant coach Antonio Diaz remarked.

“No, he’s faster than Messi!” Another assistant coach, Fran Escriba, disagreed.

Antonio Diaz thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

When Messi burst onto the scene in La Liga, he shocked the entire Spanish football world and even the European football scene.

Argentinians' most lethal weapons are dribbling and breakthroughs.

But Messi's speed isn't particularly fast.

But Wang Shuo is different.

Wang Shuo is much faster than Messi.

"To be honest, this guy gives me a really strange feeling. He wasn't this good at dribbling when he was with Mainz, but now, whenever he gets an opportunity, he dribbles into the crowd." Eskriba was puzzled.

Generally speaking, professional players tend to hold onto the ball more when they first start out, and then become more concise and threatening as they play.

Cristiano Ronaldo needs no introduction.

Go look at Messi when he first started out; he loved dribbling the ball.

Many people even criticized him back then, feeling that he was too attached to the ball and missed opportunities.

But after several serious injuries, Messi gradually changed his playing style.

But what about Wang Shuo?

When he debuted, he was clearly known for his speed and running ability, but his ball-handling skills were not particularly strong.

Now he's actually getting better and better at dribbling.

This completely goes against the development trajectory of professional players!
"He's a smart man; he won't blindly dribble the ball," Flores analyzed.

"He saw that the Dortmund midfielders were unable to pass the ball, so he came back to receive the ball and dribbled it himself, using his dribbling to attract the defensive attention before passing the ball to his teammates."

"Didn't you guys notice? Besides Götze, Kuba on the right wing and Reus on the left wing are both support points."

"Wang Shuo's passing ability, especially his ability to deliver threatening passes, has been underestimated by many people."

"He's the Bundesliga's best player at delivering threatening passes!"

Flores' words left both Escudíba and Antonio Diaz speechless.

They've all seen Wang Shuo's data; it's truly terrifying!
Looking at other leagues, there is no one who can compare to him.

Aside from Messi and Ronaldo in La Liga!
“What do we do now?” Eskeriba asked.

"Hold the line first!" Flores said gravely.

Although he had made sufficient mental preparations, when the competition actually started, he found that Wang Shuo was just too fierce!

Their attacking prowess is comparable to that of Messi and Ronaldo.

If this continues, Atletico Madrid will concede another goal sooner or later!

With that in mind, Flores walked to the sidelines and shouted loudly to the players, signaling them to retreat and stabilize the defense.

"As long as we can score an away goal, we have nothing to fear!" Flores said confidently.

……

As Atletico Madrid retreated, the game gradually became a stalemate.

Dortmund began to dominate the field.

But Atletico Madrid's defense became even more solid.

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

During halftime, Klopp emphasized the importance of defending against Aguero.

In Atletico Madrid's two-striker formation, Forlán always plays up front, while Aguero is like a free man, running around everywhere.

Moreover, he has strong individual skills and is a great threat once he gets the ball.

After the start of the second half, Dortmund continued to dominate the game.

However, they still struggled to break through Atletico Madrid's defense.

The Rojiblancos continued with their defensive counter-attacking strategy, just like in the first half.

However, the attacking play still relies more on the individual abilities of the players.

In the 59th minute, Atletico Madrid made their first substitution of the match.

Jurado replaced Simão.

This substitution immediately alerted Klopp.

Uncle Beard went to the sidelines and called out to Owomoyela, signaling him to be careful.

as predicted.

After the 60th minute, Atletico Madrid began to exert pressure on Dortmund's right flank.

Despite being a renowned winger, Simão is now 30 years old. His speed and explosiveness are no longer what they used to be, and his dribbling ability has also declined significantly.

Jurado is only 23 years old, young and strong.

Most importantly, he has exceptional dribbling skills and excellent passing ability.

It was Jurado, who came on as a substitute, who dribbled the ball down the left flank in the 74th minute.

Although he was tackled by Owomoyela and Kuba who had dropped back to help defend, he still managed to pass the ball to Aguero while he was on the ground.

With his back to the attacking direction, Aguero, under the combined defense of Sven Bender and Kuba, suddenly stopped and turned, using his agility despite his short stature to dribble through the two defenders.

After dribbling out, Aguero faced Subotic on the left side of the penalty area. He first made a sudden stop, then suddenly dribbled the ball towards the byline, and then quickly chased after it, passing the ball across the goal with his left foot.

Fran was clearly prepared, arriving quickly and sending a left-footed shot from the edge of the six-yard box into the goal guarded by Weidenfeller.

1-2! This goal instantly ignited the fighting spirit of the Atletico Madrid players.

The Mattress Makers began to intensify their encirclement and suppression in the midfield.

In the 81st minute, Sahin received a pass from substitute Großkreutz near the bottom of the center circle in his own half, but instead of passing the ball immediately, he was immediately marked by Paulo Assunção.

This Brazilian midfielder used almost both his hands and feet.

He was like a rampaging bull, grabbing Sahin and snatching the ball from his feet.

After intercepting the ball, Assunção immediately sent a through pass to Aguero between the two center-backs.

After controlling the ball and turning, the Argentine striker suddenly started his run, shaking off Dortmund's two center-backs, and calmly slotted the ball into the net after breaking into the penalty area.

2 is better than 2!

Aguero excitedly rushed off the pitch and ran wildly in celebration.

After equalizing, Atletico Madrid's morale soared, and they began to put pressure on Dortmund, putting the game back into a fast-paced rhythm.

First, in the 82nd minute, Reyes took a long-range shot, which went slightly wide.

Then Forlán had a one-on-one opportunity, but it was ruled offside.

In the 84th minute, Aguero once again broke through with the ball and delivered a brilliant pass. Forlán's long-range shot gave everyone a scare.

Flores' decisiveness was best demonstrated in the 85th minute when he made his final substitution.

Argentine youngster Savio replaced center-back Perea.

This was an absolutely insane act!

But this also reveals Flores' strategy for this match.

He just wants to score an away goal!

Moreover, he successfully grabbed two.

"The current situation is very unfavorable for Dortmund."

"Klopp's team's stamina dropped significantly after the 70th minute, and their rhythm also became somewhat out of control."

"On the contrary, it's Atletico Madrid."

"They were clearly well-prepared and put on a strong performance in the last 20 minutes."

"This is a devastating blow to Dortmund."

"They are not only physically inferior to Atlético Madrid, but also in morale."

"Whether it's the squad or the depth of the bench, Borussia Dortmund is inferior to Atletico Madrid."

"Klopp is probably at a loss right now."

"In the first leg at home, they conceded two away goals. If it's a draw, Dortmund will be in serious trouble in the second leg in Madrid."

"We saw that the Dortmund fans in the stadium were still singing their team song, 'You'll Never Walk Alone,' to inspire the team."

"On the pitch, the Dortmund players haven't given up either."

"But they were too physically fit for a period of time."

"Klopp syndrome is their biggest obstacle!"

"Flores also anticipated this."

"Dortmund is now facing a very difficult situation!"

……

Amidst the resounding cheers at Westfalenstadion, Wang Shuo received a pass from Kuba on the right flank of the attacking third.

When he stopped the ball, Wang Shuo turned around and got rid of Antonio Lopez, then dribbled the ball sideways and cut inside at top speed.

Paulo Assunção charged toward him, but Wang Shuo skillfully controlled the ball with both feet, preemptively blocking the position with his body and forcefully breaking through Assunção's close pressing with his shoulder, continuing to dribble laterally.

Domingos blocked the attack from the right side of the arc.

Wang Shuo made several small adjustments, then stopped abruptly, pretending to dribble into the penalty area before suddenly changing direction, dribbling the ball with his left foot, and breaking past Domingos laterally.

After creating some space, Wang Shuo immediately unleashed a curling shot with his left foot, heading straight for the top left corner of the goal.

Just as everyone in the stadium was exclaiming in surprise and hoping for a goal, they heard a loud bang.

The football struck the top of the left post solidly and bounced out.

"Goalpost!!"

"The left post saved Atletico Madrid!"

"Dortmund isn't having much luck tonight."

"Wang Shuo's shot was beautiful; he dribbled inside from the right wing and curled a shot into the far corner with his left foot."

"Unfortunately, the pillars at Westfalenstadion don't seem to be on their side tonight."

"It's already the 87th minute."

Wang Shuo clenched his fists and roared loudly, venting his anger.

But he still ran back quickly.

He waved his hands as he ran.

"There's still time, don't rush!"

He was not only boosting the team's morale, but also stirring up the fans in the stadium.

Westfalenstadion fans, let your shouts come even louder!

The fans at the scene shouted even louder.

Wang Shuo clapped enthusiastically, "Cheer up, everyone!"

But the next moment, Atletico Madrid created another very threatening attack.

Savio controlled the ball with his chest and then delivered a brilliant pass to Aguero inside the penalty area.

After shaking off Subotic, Aguero unleashed a powerful shot, which was saved by goalkeeper Weidenfeller.

This gave all the fans in the stadium a real scare.

Weidenfeller's save was very timely!
Aguero was clearly exhausted, his movements were a bit sluggish and slow.

After getting up from the ground, the Dortmund goalkeeper grabbed the ball with both hands, sprinted to the edge of the penalty area, and forcefully threw the ball to Hummels.

Fast break!

Hummels quickly passed the ball to Schmelzer on the left flank of the midfield.

But Atletico Madrid's replay speed is also very fast.

Schmelzer had just crossed the center line when he was entangled by Reyes.

Left with no other choice, the message was sent back to Shaheen.

Wang Shuo saw this from ahead and immediately ran back, shouting, "Give me the ball!"

Sahin's pass arrived at Wang Shuo's side at the same time as Raul Garcia's pass.

One after the other.

Wang Shuo felt the pressure from Raul Garcia behind him, and decisively took a step forward, using the outside of his left foot to stop Sahin's pass towards the bottom of the center circle.

After turning around and chasing after him, Wang Shuo passed the ball to Götze before Jurado could react.

After passing the ball, Wang Shuo sprinted forward at top speed.

There isn't much time left in the game.

Wang Shuo didn't hold back and immediately increased his speed to the maximum.

Götze was hampered by Paulo Assunção; although he managed to get the ball, he couldn't shake off the Brazilian midfielder's entanglement.

"Give it to me!" Wang Shuo shouted, pointing ahead.

Götze hurriedly passed the ball out.

Wang Shuo caught up, glanced at Domingos ahead, and instead of stopping the ball, forcefully shoved it forward.

That touch seemed a bit too long.

Some of them slipped out of Wang Shuo's control.

Domingos hesitated.

In the opening stages, Perea was tricked by Wang Shuo to score Atletico Madrid's first goal.

And then there was the second goal we conceded; we fell for it ourselves.

Could this ball be a ploy to trick me into going for the steal?

Domingos was not confident.

But Wang Shuo didn't give him any time to hesitate.

Opportunities are fleeting!
Wang Shuo caught up again, and his speed had increased significantly.

Domingos stared intently at Wang Shuo and the football between his feet.

damn it!
For some reason, he had a feeling.

Every step Wang Shuo took, every touch of the ball, seemed to echo the drumbeats coming from the stands at Westfalenstadion.

They were surprisingly compatible!
His feet seemed to possess some kind of magnetic force, firmly controlling the ball between them.

Just as Wang Shuo entered the Domingos defense zone, he suddenly tilted to the left.

Domingos felt a very strong sensation.

If he doesn't block Wang Shuo, Wang Shuo will definitely break through from the left.

As long as he can get through, even if it's just a crack, with Wang Shuo's abilities, he will definitely be able to break into the restricted area.

At the very least, they'll have a chance to shoot!
This forced him to immediately shift his weight.

But just as he shifted his weight, Wang Shuo, after stabilizing his left foot, suddenly changed direction, flicking the ball to the right with the outside of his right foot, and immediately rushed to the right as well.

A pendulum jumper!

In that instant, Domingos felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar!

But his center of gravity had already shifted, and he couldn't adjust at all. He could only watch helplessly as Wang Shuo changed direction and dribbled the ball into the penalty area with his right foot.

When the Atletico Madrid center-back turned around, he saw Wang Shuo catching up with the ball on the right side of the penalty spot.

But goalkeeper De Gea rushed out in time, heading straight for Wang Shuo.

When Wang Shuo caught up with the ball with small, quick steps, he pretended to shoot, which tricked De Gea into diving to his right foot.

But he turned his right foot into a shot in mid-air and spun the ball back.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Shuo kicked out with his right foot again.

By the time Domingos turned and rushed over to make a sliding tackle, Wang Shuo's shot had already been sent off.

Wang Shuo almost tripped over Domingos, but he only staggered a couple of steps before regaining his balance. After seeing the ball go into the net, he shouted excitedly and turned to rush towards the south stand.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!"

Goal!!!!

"In the 88th minute, Wang Shuo once again broke through De Gea's goal!"

"3 to 2!"

"Dortmund have taken the lead again!"

"In the Europa League semi-final, Wang Shuo once again scored twice!"

"When Dortmund was in dire straits, Wang Shuo once again saved Dortmund with his goal at the Westfalenstadion!"

"That's what a superstar is like!"

"This is a leader!"

"Wang Shuo stepped up once again when the team needed him!"

The entire Westfalenstadion stadium was chanting Wang Shuo's name!
The Dortmund players had already lost control and rushed off the field, each one wanting nothing more than to pick up Wang Shuo and kiss him.

In front of the home team's coaching bench, Klopp jumped up excitedly, clenched his right fist, and shouted with a ferocious expression, "Wang Shuo! I fucking love you to death!"

……

The moment Wang Shuo scored, the entire Westfalenstadion erupted in ecstasy!
No one can understand the Dortmund fans' hunger for victory and the championship!
Because they once stood at the pinnacle of glory!

Just like this game.

From a 2-0 lead to a 2-2 tie, the emotions of Borussia Dortmund fans were like a rollercoaster ride.

Everyone knows that this team's performance this season has exceeded expectations.

Whether in the Bundesliga or the Europa League, before the season, no one could have imagined that these young men would achieve such success!

They are the youngest team in the Bundesliga and one of the youngest teams in the Europa League!

This far exceeded management's expectations!

When Wang Shuo scored and rushed to the south stand to celebrate with the fans, the whole stadium was chanting his name.

Even the high-ranking officials in the stands, including President Raubal, Watzke, Zorc, and Knifell, were all incredibly excited.

He even couldn't resist wanting to personally join the players and fans on the field to celebrate.

Nobody knows what the outcome of the next match will be.

But the 3-2 scoreline at home allowed Dortmund to temporarily savor the joy of victory!
"La Liga is really too strong!" Zorc said with a sigh.

Even Atletico Madrid, a mid-table team in La Liga, has performed so strongly.

It's easy to imagine how strong Real Madrid and Barcelona are in La Liga!
"Their biggest advantage is their South American players, while our advantage is our Eastern European players," Watzke saw this very clearly.

Everyone agreed with this assessment.

Since the Bosman ruling was implemented, relying solely on domestic players has simply not been enough to support a team to compete in European football!

Times are different.

"We need to hurry up and renew Wang Shuo's contract as soon as possible, and agree to their conditions!" Chairman Laubar closed his eyes.

This decision is difficult for Dortmund.

Because the concessions were a bit too large.

After a period of contact and several rounds of negotiations, both sides have made some concessions.

However, since Shen Qinghe joined Wang Shuo's management team, it has brought more negotiating pressure to Dortmund.

Especially after their initial assertive move at the first meeting, Dortmund remained on the defensive during negotiations.

Furthermore, Wang Shuo's increasingly outstanding performance has left Watzke and others with even less leverage in negotiations.

After a period of consultation, both parties have reached a basic consensus on the annual salary.

800 million euros!
This will be the highest annual salary in the Bundesliga since Luca Toni left!

In a way, this is a fitting reward for Wang Shuo's contributions to the team.

However, the two sides are still deadlocked on the issue of termination fees.

Shen Qinghe's valuation has been increased from 5000 million euros to 6000 million euros.

Borussia Dortmund, on the other hand, reduced its budget from €9000 million to €7000 million.

However, there is still a gap of 1000 million euros between the two sides.

Although it's just a clause in the contract, it's related to future transfer fees.

Now that President Raubal has spoken, it proves that Dortmund is willing to make concessions on the contract.

Watzke had actually guessed what President Raubal was thinking.

Given Wang Shuo's current performance and public opinion, contract renewal is inevitable, and the sooner the better.

Once the deal is finalized early, the ambitions of those elite teams that covet Wang Shuo can be completely extinguished.

If the contract is renewed, it means that Wang Shuo will stay with the team.

Generally speaking, top teams won't poach players by force.

But if negotiations continue, then many things could change.

Although Wang Shuo's contract is still valid, Dortmund will be in a very passive position if the player is determined to leave.

Moreover, if a top club were to get involved, Dortmund would be in an even more passive position.

That's the situation with Bayern Munich and Ribery.

Ribery was in talks with Bayern Munich about renewing his contract because of Luca Toni's annual salary.

After Florentino Pérez took over Real Madrid in the summer of 09, he had been trying to sign Ribery, which is why Bayern Munich and Ribery have not yet reached an agreement on a contract extension.

Moreover, Barcelona is now involved as well.

Some might say that it's no big deal if the deal didn't go through, since the player's contract is still valid and he can't leave anyway.

The problem is not that simple.

The contract renewal was delayed for a year, which shortened the player's contract by one year. During the renewal negotiations, the club had far fewer bargaining chips and was severely lacking in confidence.

In the end, the salary and benefits offered will definitely be higher.

This is a kind of game between the club and the player.

President Raubal has stated his intention to renew the contract as soon as possible in order to prevent the involvement of top clubs.

Of course, Ribery's actions will definitely displease the fans.

Generally speaking, if a player is truly willing to stay with the team, they will usually negotiate amicably, compromise, and successfully renew their contract.

Wang Shuo should belong to the latter category.

……

Borussia Dortmund ultimately defeated Atletico Madrid 3-2 at home thanks to Wang Shuo's two goals and one assist!
But this match was more like a Pyrrhic victory!
Although Atlético Madrid players lost the game, they didn't seem too upset or unhappy when the whistle blew; on the contrary, they all seemed quite happy.

Perhaps for them, a 2-3 away win, with two away goals, is already a very good result.

For Borussia Dortmund, although they won at home, they conceded two away goals to Atletico Madrid. The second leg at the Calderón Stadium in Madrid will be full of uncertainties.

But no matter what, we still won in the end!

When Wang Shuo and his teammates thanked the crowd, they were greeted with enthusiastic cheers from the fans.

This is Dortmund's first season after the rebuild!
Klopp not only brought a completely new tactical philosophy, but also many new players, including core players like Wang Shuo.

With an average age of 23, at the beginning of the season, no one expected Dortmund to achieve any results this season.

But even now, the Bundesliga is still in the lead, and they have reached the semi-finals of the Europa League.

Is there anything else you’re not satisfied with?
After thanking the audience, Wang Shuo and his teammates returned to the locker room.

Klopp also came in and said a few words.

Most of them were words of encouragement and affirmation.

He also expressed his confidence in the second leg of the match a week later.

Klopp went to the post-match press conference, while Wang Shuo and others stayed behind to shower and change clothes.

Sitting in his seat, Wang Shuo was not satisfied with the result of the match.

Of course, he wasn't dissatisfied with anyone; he simply felt that the result was unfavorable to Dortmund.

If Wang Shuo's guess is correct, Klopp will definitely rotate his squad again for the upcoming 32nd round of the league, the away game against Nuremberg, concentrating all his forces for the decisive battle at the Calderon Stadium a week later.

Having finally made it to the semifinals, we're determined to give it our all and make it to the finals!

Besides, Borussia Dortmund has basically secured the Bundesliga title.

With this in mind, Wang Shuo entered the God of Football System.

"Post-match summary: Passive value gained: 9 points."

Wang Shuo went to the front of his personal attribute panel and checked his passive value, which was exactly 58 points.

He immediately shifted his focus to the huge football.

They quickly selected the pentagon containing the passive skill [Aura].

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

Wang Shuo chose "yes" without hesitation.

【Aura】, 【Insight】, and 【Eagle Eye】 are all regional level.

All of these are part of Wang Shuo's upgrade plan.

However, for now, Wang Shuo has chosen to prioritize upgrading [Aura].

Because what he urgently needs to improve right now is his attack power.

The "capture fleeting opportunities" strategy in "Inspiration" is more useful and helpful to Wang Shuo now than "Insight" and "Eagle Eye."

Once he has accumulated enough passive points, Wang Shuo will definitely upgrade these two passive skills.

As for [Life and Rest], the passive value is currently severely insufficient, so the upgrade of this passive skill can only be put on hold for the time being.

Good steel should be used where it's needed most!
After the upgrade was completed, Wang Shuo exited the Ball God System.

By this time, the teammates had mostly packed up and were ready to leave Westfalenstadion.

But many of them seemed depressed.

Clearly, they were disappointed with tonight's 3-2 score and worried about the second leg.

Especially Sahin, who made a mistake during the match.

Subotic and Hummels were also unable to stop Aguero and were in low spirits.

Upon seeing their expressions, Wang Shuo immediately stood up from his seat and smiled at his teammates.

"What are you all doing? Anyone who didn't know better would think we lost the game!"

Wang Shuo's laughter was filled with strong confidence.

“Listen, we won 3-2 at home, not a draw, not a loss. Although we gave them two away goals, the pressure will be on our opponents in the second leg at the Calderon Stadium, won’t it?”

After listening and thinking about it for a moment, everyone felt that what Wang Shuo said made sense.

"Believe me, in the second leg, if we unite, we will definitely be able to break through Atletico Madrid's goal!"

"We will definitely get our ticket to the finals in Hamburg!"

Wang Shuo spoke with great certainty and confidence.

The inaugural Europa League final was held at the Nordbank Arena in Hamburg!
