The God of Football starts with passive skills

Chapter 91: Winning the Title Early! Bundesliga First! Next Superstar! Outmaneuvering De Gea! He Single-handedly Defeated Atletico Madrid!
With Borussia Dortmund's narrow 3-2 victory over Atletico Madrid at home, all midweek European matches have concluded.

The first leg of both the Champions League and Europa League semi-finals has been completed.

Both Bundesliga teams that reached the semi-finals won.

Bayern Munich narrowly defeated Lyon 1-0 at home in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final.

Although they won the game, Van Gaal's team also paid a heavy price.

French left winger Franck Ribéry received a red card in the first half and was sent off.

But not long after, Lyon player Toulalan also accumulated two yellow cards and was sent off with a red card.

Ultimately, it was Robben's crucial goal that secured a narrow victory for Bayern Munich at home against Lyon.

Regarding this match, German media generally praised Robben and criticized Ribery.

The French winger's contract renewal negotiations with Bayern Munich have dragged in transfer rumors involving Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​causing quite a stir.

On the contrary, Robben has been outstanding since joining Bayern Munich.

However, Bayern's overall performance this season has been unsatisfactory.

Bayern Munich has long been ranked below Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen in the league, and in the Champions League, they stumbled their way to the semi-finals, but their performance was equally unconvincing.

For example, in the group stage, when they were drawn against Bordeaux, Juventus and Maccabi Haifa, everyone thought that Bayern would win the group without any doubt. However, they narrowly qualified as the second-place team in the group.

Moreover, they are still far behind Bordeaux.

In the round of 16 against Fiorentina, the second goal in the 89th minute led to a 2-1 victory at home.

They lost the away game 2-3.

Based on past Champions League patterns, teams that lose in the knockout stages have a very low chance of winning the title.

In the quarterfinals, they faced Ferguson's Manchester United, and Bayern Munich also had a nail-biting experience.

They conceded a goal early in the game at home, and only managed a dramatic comeback thanks to Olic's goal in stoppage time.

Upon arriving at Old Trafford, the situation did not improve at all, and they even lost 1-3 in the first half.

Bayern Munich were completely outmatched by Manchester United throughout the match.

The turning point of the match came when Manchester United's right-back Rafael received a red card in the 50th minute.

Of course, the red card itself wasn't the problem, but after the match, almost everyone felt sorry for Manchester United.

If Manchester United's Rafael can get a red card when playing at home, then Bayern Munich's Van Bommel should have received two in the first half.

The Dutch played too dirty!

Rafael's first yellow card was received after he was fouled by Van Bommel, and when the referee did nothing, he irrationally retaliated against Van Bommel.

Before Rafael was substituted, Bayern had virtually no chances.

Ribery, who was matched up against Rafael, performed utterly ineffectively and was completely neutralized by the Brazilian full-back.

Therefore, when Ribery was sent off with a red card after only 37 minutes in the match against Lyon, the German media launched a barrage of criticism after the game.

He should have been the one to step up and lead the team to victory.

But now, Robben is playing that role!

Bayern Munich had really good luck with the draw, from the group stage to the knockout stage.

Even so, his performance was still hard to describe.

Apart from a 4-1 victory over Juventus in the final group stage match, Van Gaal's team has not played a single convincing game.

But is Juventus really that strong?

In the Europa League Round of 16, Juventus were defeated 3-0 by Borussia Dortmund in both legs.

In contrast, Borussia Dortmund faced Ajax, Juventus, Benfica, and Atletico Madrid in succession from the Europa League knockout stage, and the quality of their opponents was definitely higher than that of Bayern Munich.

Borussia Dortmund, on the other hand, remained undefeated in the knockout stages.

This is clearly better than Bayern!
Although the 3-2 home victory against Atletico Madrid added a lot of suspense to the second leg, Klopp and his young guard still won unanimous praise for their performance.

Wang Shuo, in particular, who scored two goals and provided one assist, once again won widespread praise.

In the other Europa League semi-final, Liverpool drew 1-1 with Fulham at home.

The midweek European match that shocked the world's media and surprised fans was Inter Milan's 3-1 home victory over Barcelona.

Mourinho achieved legendary status in a single match!
Although media outlets supporting Barcelona attributed the loss to volcanic ash in Iceland, this was clearly unconvincing.

Mourinho and his Inter Milan impressed the world with their performance at home.

They crushed the invincible Dream Team Barcelona!
Especially Messi.

The Argentine superstar continued his embarrassing record of failing to score against Mourinho's teams!

However, because Mourinho and his Inter Milan created so much buzz, everyone overlooked the news of Dortmund's 3-2 victory over Atletico Madrid.

Similarly, after Inter Milan's 3-1 victory over Barcelona, ​​Moratti personally announced his desire to extend Mourinho's contract.

The Portuguese manager's time at Inter Milan can be described as legendary!
He arrived in Italy in 2008, signed a three-year coaching contract with an annual salary of 9 million euros.

In 2009, Inter Milan officially announced that they had extended Mourinho's contract until 2012, with his annual salary increasing to 1100 million euros.

Inter Milan are now eager to renew Mourinho's contract again, offering him an annual salary of 1300 million euros.

No one doubts whether Mourinho is worth the price.

The Portuguese madman is currently at the height of his power!
It was precisely because of Mourinho's news that, apart from the German media, almost no one paid attention to the news released by Borussia Dortmund's official channels.

Borussia Dortmund has officially reached a contract extension agreement with Wang Shuo!
In an interview with Westdeutsche Zeitung, Watzke revealed, "We have reached a consensus with Wang Shuo's management team on the framework and key terms of the contract. The rest is just some finalization of the contract details."

Examples include appearance fees, goal bonuses, assist bonuses, championship bonuses, and so on.

"We can say with absolute certainty that we will officially sign the renewal contract in the near future!"

But this news was completely overshadowed by the wave surrounding Mourinho and Inter Milan.

Aside from a few people with ulterior motives, it didn't attract much attention.

……

"Annual salary of 800 million euros, and a penalty of 6000 million euros for breach of contract."

At Wang Shuo's home, Shen Qinghe was reporting the latest developments to Thomas Essien.

"In addition, we have retained 100% of the portrait rights."

This last point was the one that Shen Qinghe was most satisfied with.

According to Borussia Dortmund, they hope to receive a share of Wang Shuo's portrait rights.

In the past few days, Shen Qinghe and her team have met with Adidas.

There are also rumors in the industry that Nike is closely monitoring the contact between the two parties.

Wang Shuo's current contract with Adidas is only 150 million euros, which is nothing to Nike.

Only after securing his portrait rights could Wang Shuo's team proceed with their work.

Especially in China.

If they grant you their image rights, all future commercial revenue will have to be shared with Borussia Dortmund.

"This is the initial version of the contract we drafted together with the lawyers."

Shen Qinghe handed Wang Shuo a thick stack of documents.

It was more than thirty pages of A4 paper.

The contract terms inside were densely packed.

Generally speaking, a player's salary includes a base salary plus performance-based pay.

In Wang Shuo's contract, the pre-tax annual salary of 800 million euros is considered his basic salary.

Performance appraisal is similar to appearance fees, goal bonuses, and championship bonuses.

However, these terms are also very complex.

For example, appearance fees.

Some players' appearance fees are calculated as a percentage.

For example, if a player plays in 60% of the team's matches, they can activate a clause and receive an additional bonus.

Reaching 70% will allow you to make another profit.

But some players have a simpler system, where they are paid a fixed appearance fee for each game they play.

Some players' contracts not only specify the number of appearances, but also detail the playing time, specifying how many minutes of playing time constitute one appearance.

Because this player is a substitute, he comes on as a substitute most of the time.

Bonuses for goals and assists are the same.

The specific settings depend on how both parties negotiate.

Therefore, sometimes, when players take the initiative to go to the head coach to ask to play, it may not be because they crave the game.

It's because his contract stipulated that he was just one game away from receiving his appearance bonus.

Of course, in general, the head coach will appropriately balance the players' playing time, taking into full consideration the various situations and interests of the players, which is somewhat like giving them equal treatment.

In short, this is a very, very complex calculation process.

There are also performance bonuses.

In Wang Shuo's contract, the performance bonuses in the Bundesliga were divided into several tiers.

Surviving relegation, then the Europa League, Europa League qualification, Champions League qualification, runner-up, champions...

The amount of the prize money varies depending on the tier.

Because the contract is for five years, European competitions include the Europa League and the Champions League.

Take the Champions League next season as an example.

The goal-scoring bonus is higher than in the Bundesliga.

How much did they get after advancing from the group stage?
How much will a team get if they advance to the round of 16?

There's also the quarterfinals, semifinals, and the championship...

Each one must be written into the contract.

The same applies to the German Cup.

Is it okay not to include it in the contract?

The answer is no!

If you don't include a contract, why should they pay?
If a dispute arises, there's no way to file a lawsuit.

This is also the reason why brokerage teams exist!

They didn't just go and negotiate with the club; they were the ones who created such a detailed and complex contract.

Moreover, they also have to keep track of them at all times.

Once a player meets the conditions that trigger a certain clause, they are responsible for sending a fax to the club to remind them to make the payment.

Expecting the club to give you money voluntarily?
Give me a break!

Even if you urge them, they might not pay immediately. If you don't urge them? Believe me, they'll pretend they forgot.

Wang Shuo is currently on a contract with established star players, characterized by a high base salary and high performance bonuses.

Generally speaking, at Wang Shuo's age, the contracts he receives are usually low-salary, high-performance contracts.

What do you mean?

For example, Bayern Munich's young player Thomas Müller has a pre-tax annual salary of only 300 million euros, which is 150 million euros after tax.

Young player Contento is in an even worse situation, with a pre-tax annual salary of only 83,000 euros, but his various performance bonuses in the first team are very high.

The goal of lowering the base salary and increasing the performance bonus is to incentivize players to improve.

So, where does Wang Shuo's current salary level stand in the Bundesliga?

Based on previous media reports, Wang Shuo's pre-tax annual salary of 800 million euros is currently the highest in the Bundesliga.

Because annual salaries are confidential for each team, it is difficult for outsiders to know.

But after Luca Toni left Bayern, the highest-paid player in the Bundesliga is reportedly Lahm, with a pre-tax salary of 700 million euros.

Van Nistelrooy's pre-tax income is only 350 million euros.

The Dutch striker came to the Bundesliga with a broken bone.

Dzeko of Wolfsburg is worth 500 million euros before taxes.

Within the Borussia Dortmund team, below Wang Shuo, the highest-paid player is the veteran captain Kehl, whose pre-tax salary is estimated to be between 350 and 400 million euros, though the exact figure is just speculation.

In the realm of head coaches, the highest-paid manager in the Bundesliga is currently Magath of Schalke 04, with a pre-tax salary of €550 million.

Van Gaal only has 400 million euros before taxes.

However, according to unreliable sources, Van Gaal's prize money for winning the championship is extremely high.

Nobody knows exactly how high it is.

Wang Shuo is most familiar with Mainz. It is said that Tuchel's pre-tax annual salary is only 65 euros.

Klopp is currently in talks with Dortmund about a contract extension, and his current annual salary is said to be around 150 million euros.

As for the club's management, their annual salaries are even lower.

The exact figures for Bayern Munich's three key players are unknown, but they certainly won't exceed 500 million euros.

Watzke of Dortmund is worth between 150 million and 200 million euros.

In other words, the €800 million annual salary offered to Wang Shuo by Borussia Dortmund is the highest in the entire German football world!

Of course, Bayern Munich and Ribery are still in talks about a contract extension, and it is said that the Frenchman's salary demands are very high.

As for the final outcome of the negotiations, no one knows or can control it.

Shen Qinghe is currently recruiting and building a team.

She is now Wang Shuo's personal assistant. With this contract renewal with Dortmund, she has won Wang Shuo's approval and will take full control of Wang Shuo's business activities and schedules.

Thomas Essien remains in charge of Wang Shuo's brokerage business, and he is also planning to hire an assistant.

Of course, this assistant was an employee of Thomas Essien.

In other words, Wang Shuo outsourced his football-related agency business to Thomas Essien.

In addition to outsourcing brokerage services, legal services are also outsourced to experienced professional law firms.

Shen Qinghe plans to form a 3-person business team and a 3-person media team.

The former, needless to say, is basically responsible for business development and negotiation.

The latter is mainly responsible for new media.

"Have you noticed? As your performance on the court gets better and better, you're getting more and more followers on Twitter."

"And to be honest, your Twitter posts are pretty boring, it's just a daily check-in."

Wang Shuo felt somewhat embarrassed and looked intently at the outspoken Shen Qinghe.

"If my content is boring, why do you like it every day?"

Shen Qinghe's face flushed red instantly.

"I... I'm used to it."

Thomas Essien almost burst out laughing on the other side.

"That's not the point. What I want to tell you is that this proves that fans have this kind of demand. Even seemingly boring daily trivia, because it's related to you, they have developed a strong interest in it."

Wang Shuo understood, "So..."

"We've assembled a media team to capture snippets of your daily life and training, taking photos or recording videos, and posting them on Twitter and YouTube. We believe this will attract the attention of fans."

"If the results are good, this will become a very important source of income in the future."

Simply put, it's about accepting advertisements.

For example, what clothes Wang Shuo wears to training, or what accessories he wears.

Of course, finding a balance between embedding advertisements and avoiding alienating viewers is another matter entirely.

According to Shen Qinghe, the first thing to do is to build up the account.

We need to start working on platforms including Twitter and YouTube abroad, as well as domestic social media accounts.

This requires a team.

"Wouldn't that be too deliberate?" Wang Shuo was still a little uncomfortable.

Shen Qinghe smiled and shook her head. "You clock in at 5 a.m. every morning. Is it deliberate?"

Wang Shuo thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "The main thing is time."

His Virgo obsessive-compulsive disorder compels him to clock in around 5 a.m. every day.

"But the key is that all the fans know you are a Virgo, but they also know you are hardworking and diligent. You don't need to do anything deliberately. Just do what you're supposed to do, eat and drink as you please."

"How to see the big picture from small details and capture the highlights that fans are interested in is the job of the media team; they are professionals."

Wang Shuo understood what Shen Qinghe meant.

He continued doing what he was supposed to do, the only difference being that he had a few more colleagues around him.

Domestic business and media teams also need to be established simultaneously.

Shen Qinghe understands Wang Shuo.

So she even did a special calculation for Wang Shuo.

It looks like there are a lot of people, but the actual salary expenditure is not much.

This demonstrates that a team of about 10 people would have a maximum of 1 million euros in annual expenses, including salaries and social security contributions.

Moreover, every member of the team is undoubtedly an elite selected from among the best.

Shen Qinghe builds her team according to the standards of world-class superstars.

With Wang Shuo's current status and influence in European football, and backed by the Chinese and Asian markets, he is undoubtedly a future superstar.

It is necessary to build such a team now.

How much return can I expect from investing this 1 million euros?

Although Wang Shuo comes from a mountain village, he has now seen the world and has met many top people in the industry.

Having heard many inside stories about Beckham, Ronaldo, Messi, Kaká, and others, he understands even more clearly that annual salary is no longer the main source of income for top players.

In particular, he also has a powerful motherland backing him!

As for whether he is worried that Shen Qinghe will sideline him?

This is just needless worry.

From Shen Qinghe to the team, including Thomas Essien.

Everyone serves Wang Shuo; Wang Shuo is the core value.

This is why, in professional football, a player changing agents is often just a matter of a single sentence.

So what is Wang Shuo afraid of?
……

Wang Shuo's guess was absolutely correct.

The day after the match against Atletico Madrid, Klopp approached Wang Shuo and told him that he would not be traveling with the team for the away game against Nuremberg that weekend.

Not only him, but also several other players, including Sahin, Sven Bender, and Kuba, will not travel to the away game.

"Next Thursday, at the Calderón Stadium in Madrid, we must give it our all to win!"

Klopp made up his mind.

Without him saying it, Wang Shuo had already made up his mind.

Wang Shuo felt that even if he played Nuremberg away, it wouldn't affect his match against Atletico Madrid next Thursday.

But Klopp was unaware that he possessed the God of Football system.

"I absolutely cannot take that risk!"

Klopp refused Wang Shuo's objection outright.

"I know you're physically fit and in great shape, but what if you get injured?"

"Right now, the most important match for us is against Atletico Madrid; everything else is unimportant!"

Lost to Nuremberg?
It doesn't matter.

Even if they lose, Dortmund will only be postponing their title win until the 33rd round.

Wang Shuo finally agreed to Klopp's arrangement.

As a result, Dortmund lost 1-2 to Nuremberg away from home.

Valdes scored a goal.

Nuremberg midfielder Gündoğan performed exceptionally well in this match.

However, after this match, Dortmund received good news.

Bayern Munich, currently second in the Bundesliga, drew 1-1 with Borussia Mönchengladbach away from home.

Even more outrageous, both center-backs Demichelis and Van Buyten were injured and had to leave the field during the match.

Although Bayern Munich's team doctor concluded after the match that the injury was not serious, it will definitely affect their Champions League match next Wednesday.

Therefore, Van Gaal was once again heavily criticized by the German media.

The reason is that Bayern Munich has essentially lost to Borussia Dortmund in the league title race.

Despite losing away from home, Borussia Dortmund secured the title two rounds early after drawing with Borussia Mönchengladbach this round.

If that's the case, why risk fielding the main lineup?

Now that Demichelis and Van Buyten are both injured, what will they have to fight Lyon with next Wednesday?

On this point, Wang Shuo truly felt sorry for Van Gaal.

This Dutch old man's main problem is his terrible temper; he's offended the media, fans, and players.

It's truly rare to see a head coach manage to offend all the various factions around him!

Putting yourself in his shoes, if Van Gaal hadn't fielded his strongest lineup in this match, and the result was a draw while Dortmund lost, wouldn't the media have criticized him for missing a chance to close the gap?
what?
Is there a high probability that they will lose the championship?

Until the very last moment, who can guarantee anything? Anyway, the media is saying both sides of the story.

Wang Shuo couldn't help but laugh.

He had a feeling that if Van Gaal didn't win the Champions League this season, he would have a very difficult time.

He might even be fired at the end of this season.

Winning the championship two rounds early also brought Wang Shuo a huge benefit.

……

"Congratulations on helping Borussia Dortmund win the 09/10 Bundesliga title. Reward: one National-Level Passive Skill Card or 150 Passive Points. Please choose..."

After receiving the system notification, Wang Shuo immediately entered the Ball God System.

Upon seeing this message, he was incredibly excited.

It's just like having a pillow handed to you when you're about to doze off!
With the decisive battle against Atletico Madrid looming, receiving 150 passive points at this moment couldn't be more timely!

But thinking about it, the God of Football system is actually quite stingy.

After a long and arduous season, we finally won the Bundesliga title, only to end up with 150 passive points?
What if we win the Europa League?
Can you have more?
After thinking for a moment, Wang Shuo shook his head, indicating that it was unlikely.

In terms of influence, the Europa League is not as good as the Bundesliga!
The Champions League, on the other hand, has a huge influence.

If we can really win the Champions League, we should at least reward them with an intercontinental-level passive skill card!
Judging from the old cadre's style, an intercontinental-level passive skill card should be equivalent to 250 passive points.

Upgrading from national level to intercontinental level requires 100 passive points.

Wang Shuo once again turned his gaze to the pentagon containing the Intercontinental-level [Breathing] skill, thinking that it would take 500 passive points to upgrade to World-level and unlock the domain skill...

He decided to improve his strength as soon as possible, even if it meant spending those 150 passive points.

After selecting passive values, Wang Shuo immediately invested 100 passive points into [Foundation].

"Use 100 passive points to upgrade the passive skill [Foundation] from the national level to the intercontinental level?"

"Yes!"

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

"Yes!"

After spending all 150 passive points, Wang Shuo felt even more confident.

"I've become poorer, but I've also become stronger!"

With that thought in mind, Wang Shuo exited the God of Football System and searched for his teammates in the rest area.

Ultimately, the focus shifted to Subotic.

To be honest, there really aren't any muscle-bound brutes in the Borussia Dortmund team!
The two strongest and most skilled in physical combat should be the two most powerful individuals.

One of them was Wang Shuo's best friend, Subotic.

Another one... you might not believe it, it's Captain Kyle, the glass man.

Who would have thought that this strong captain was actually a fragile "Lin Daiyu"?
At this point, Wang Shuo suddenly stood up from his seat and walked straight to Subotic.

"Neiwen, come with me!"

Subotic was stunned.

Everyone around was equally stunned.

What do you mean?
"What?"

"Let's have a one-on-one duel!" Wang Shuo said in a very powerful and domineering manner.

Everyone wondered if they had misheard.

Wang Shuo?

Are they trying to out-physical-match Subotic?

Crazy?
"Fine, I don't want to bully you." Subotic shook his head vigorously.

If it were on the court, once Wang Shuo gets going, the outcome would be hard to predict.

But if it were a one-on-one fight, defeating Wang Shuo would be a piece of cake.
Wang Shuo got even more excited, "Weren't you eyeing my Porsche Cayenne?"

Subotic nodded repeatedly.

That SUV is so cool!
"Come out and practice with me. If you beat me, I'll lend you my car for a month."

"you sure?"

Wang Shuo chuckled, "And let's add another big meal!"

After a pause, Wang Shuo looked at his eager teammates around him and laughed loudly, "Everyone who listens gets a share!"

Anyway, he had already planned it out.

After renewing his contract with Dortmund, he'll treat everyone to a meal.

Everyone got excited and started cheering.

"Get him, Nevin!"

"You're 1.93 meters tall, how could you let someone who's only 1.8 meters tall bully you?"

"That's right, Neiwen, for everyone's benefit, let's do it!"

"Keep it up, Neiwen!"

Amid the cheers of the crowd, Subotic stood up with a cheerful smile.

"Wang, let's get this straight first. You were the one who approached me first, so don't blame me for bullying you!"

"What nonsense are you spouting? Hurry up!"

Wang Shuo couldn't wait any longer.

He needs to familiarize himself with and master the fundamentals of continental football as soon as possible before playing for Atletico Madrid.

He believes this will be of greater help to him in the upcoming Europa League semi-final second leg.

Having fought his way to the semifinals, he wanted to make it to the finals and even win the championship!

……

The most interesting and suspenseful part of the knockout stage is that the 90-minute match determines the winner.

European competitions, being two-legged matches, put the team to the test in two 90-minute intervals.

From the head coach's lineup to the players' performance on the field, everything determines the outcome of the knockout stage.

Before the match even started, no one knew what the final result would be.

Just like on April 29th, at the Calderón Stadium in Madrid, Klopp never imagined that his team would concede a goal to Atlético Madrid just 8 minutes into the game.

Even more outrageous is that the one who provided the assist was Raul Garcia, who was considered by everyone to have the worst passing ability and was the least adept at making threatening passes.

His through ball found Aguero perfectly.

The Argentine striker received the ball at the edge of the penalty area, dribbled between two Dortmund center-backs, and then took a shot.

Weidenfeller failed to react in time, and the opponent scored directly.

1 is better than 0!

In an instant, the entire Calderón Stadium was filled with the cheers of Atlético Madrid fans.

Dortmund, on the other hand, were a bit bewildered!
After the start of the game, they tried to launch an attack, but Atletico Madrid, playing at home, did not give an inch and chose to go head-to-head with Dortmund. Unexpectedly, it was Dortmund who conceded the first goal.

Klopp, standing in front of the away team's coaching bench, seemed a little flustered.

As Aguero rushed to the sidelines to celebrate, Klopp walked over and shouted at the players, signaling them to stay calm and not panic.

At the same time, Wang Shuo, Sahin, Hummels and others need to control the rhythm and formation.

Everyone could even hear the panic and confusion in Klopp's shouts.

Just 8 minutes into the game, Atletico Madrid completely reversed the situation!
According to the knockout stage rules, the current aggregate score is 3-3, but Borussia Dortmund conceded two away goals to Atletico Madrid at home.

Therefore, Atletico Madrid is now in the lead!
Klopp is almost certain that if he were Flores, he would immediately switch to a defensive counter-attacking strategy.

This is Atletico Madrid's most effective tactical approach!
Then Dortmund would be in great danger.

"No one expected that Aguero would turn the tide for Atletico Madrid so early in the game!"

"The pressure of the game is now entirely on Dortmund."

"We can see that Flores is also calling out to the players, which means he should start adjusting the team's tactics."

"Borussia Dortmund is in a very dangerous situation!"

On the pitch, the Dortmund players clearly sensed the danger, especially the panicked state of their head coach on the sidelines.

They started to get anxious too.

But it's easy to make mistakes when you're in a rush.

After Atletico Madrid intercepted the ball in midfield, they almost broke through Borussia Dortmund's defense again.

Fortunately, Hummels intercepted the ball just outside the penalty area.

The players are too young, that's a bad thing.

Lacking experience and composure, they are easily agitated.

Not to mention Sven Bender, Sahin, Reus and others, even Hummels in the back line was getting anxious.

Even after Klopp's reminder, he was still eager to send a long pass up the field and launch an attack as soon as possible.

But this often yields less result than the desired effect.

This is not the way to go!

If Dortmund continues down this chaotic path, they will soon concede another goal!

At this point, someone needs to step forward.

Wang Shuo was more than willing to take the lead!

With this in mind, he began to look for targets and opportunities.

Ultimately, he chose Perea.

This 30-year-old Colombian center-back, standing at 1.81 meters tall, is the player he is most confident in dealing with.

Thinking of this, Wang Shuo immediately called out to Royce and gestured to him.

When Wang Shuo saw Sahin get the ball again, he immediately pointed to the left wing.

Schmelzer moved forward to receive the ball.

Reus had just received Wang Shuo's instructions and immediately chose to retreat, moving towards the flanks to clear the left flank.

Atletico Madrid's right-back Ujfalusi followed Reus out.

Wang Shuo saw Schmelzer dribbling across the halfway line and Reyes trying to press him. Then, seeing Reus and Ujfalusi's runs, he immediately shouted at Schmelzer and pointed behind Ujfalusi.

The moment he saw Schmelzer about to pass the ball, Wang Shuo started moving at top speed, cutting diagonally towards the area behind Ujfalusi.

Perea is not tall, but he is highly valued by Flores, mainly because of his speed and agility.

He was positioned closer to the penalty area than Wang Shuo, and immediately rushed towards the left corner of the penalty area to intercept Schmelzer's pass.

Wang Shuo had anticipated this situation and did not slow down at all.

When he rushed to the left corner of the penalty area, Perea arrived even earlier than him.

But the ball hasn't arrived yet.

Wang Shuo seized this extremely brief opportunity and rammed his right shoulder directly into Perea's left shoulder.

For the past two days, Wang Shuo has been training with Subotic, focusing on physical contact.

His goal was to quickly familiarize himself with and master the intercontinental-level [Foundation] ability through his confrontation with Subotic.

Frankly speaking, given his current muscle condition, it's like he's 1.8 meters tall going head-to-head with Subotic, who is 1.93 meters tall. They're not even in the same weight class, and Wang Shuo would be at a disadvantage.

He can't beat Subotic, but he can't beat Perea, who's about the same height?
The ball hasn't arrived yet, and both players are competing; physical contact is within acceptable limits.

Perea was taken aback!
He truly hadn't expected that Wang Shuo would actually take the initiative to challenge him to a physical confrontation.

In everyone's eyes, the first impression of Wang Shuo was that he was physically weak.

He's only 19 years old and just started exercising.

Although the two players did go toe-to-toe in the first leg, Perea did not feel that he was at a disadvantage.

Therefore, when Wang Shuo collided with him, Perea wanted to make contact with him before receiving the ball.

Ideally, he should simply bump into Wang Shuo, intercept the ball gracefully, and complete a beautiful defensive play.

The fans at Calderon Stadium will surely give themselves a warm round of applause!

But when their shoulders collided, all of Perea's beautiful fantasies were shattered.

He found, incredulously, that it was as if he had run into a wall.

Instead of knocking Wang Shuo away, she was knocked away by the rebound force. After her upper body was knocked away, her steps became disordered and she lost her balance instantly.

Wang Shuo seized the opportunity and controlled the ball on the left side of the penalty area.

Perea slipped and fell on the left side of the penalty area, his face filled with shock and despair!

Fortunately, Ujfalusi quickly returned to defense and caught up from the inside in time, trying to force Wang Shuo to the baseline.

Wang Shuo had been observing all along. Although he was somewhat surprised by Ujfalusi's return to defense, he had been prepared for it.

After rushing to the left side of the penalty area, he suddenly stopped and caught the ball with the outside of his right foot.

Poor Ujfalusi!

He chased after Wang Shuo relentlessly, trying to prevent him from threatening the goal.

But who would have thought that Wang Shuo would suddenly stop?

Atletico Madrid's right-back tried to stop abruptly, but couldn't regain his balance and slipped at the left corner of the six-yard box.

Before Perea on the left flank could even get up from the ground, another Ujfalusi fell to the ground.

After Wang Shuo made a sudden stop and spiked the ball, he turned and cut inside.

Domingos reacted very quickly, rushing out immediately and using his body to block Wang Shuo from the goal.

Meanwhile, Assunsan returned to the penalty spot in time, reaching out to grab Wang Shuo's waist while kicking the ball at Wang Shuo's feet with his right foot, using both hands and feet to try to stop both the ball and Wang Shuo.

In the heat of the moment, Wang Shuo pulled the ball back with his right foot, just managing to avoid Assun's tackle, but his waist was grabbed by Assun's hand.

But Wang Shuo didn't linger at all. He dribbled the ball sideways again, maintaining his speed, and charged forward with Asongsang.

The Brazilian midfielder never expected Wang Shuo to be so fierce, and was almost knocked off his balance and fell to the ground.

Having just broken through Assunção's defense, Wang Shuo finally saw a path leading to the goal.

But there was also De Gea standing in front of the goal.

The Spanish goalkeeper was well-positioned, constantly following Wang Shuo's position and effectively blocking most shooting angles.

In that split second, Wang Shuo saw everything clearly.

He only has one chance!
A shot with enough speed and a tricky angle!
Wang Shuo had almost no time to think. After his left foot was firmly planted, his right foot slammed out.

In that instant, he unleashed all his passive skills to their fullest potential.

Especially the intercontinental level of "speed" and "foundation".

The former made him move faster, while the latter allowed him to concentrate all his strength into his right foot.

His continental-level "ball control" allowed him to accurately hit the ball, channeling all his power into it.

The football flew out at extremely high speed, gliding along the grass, almost grazing the bottom edge of the right post, and went into Atletico Madrid's goal!

Although De Gea reacted and immediately dove to the side, he was ultimately a little too slow.

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!”

"In the 12th minute, just four minutes after Dortmund conceded a goal, Wang Shuo equalized for the Black and Yellows!"

"What a fantastic solo performance!"

"Wang Shuo relied on his individual ability to hold off Atletico Madrid's entire defense in the attacking third, and finally equalized for Dortmund with a powerful shot."

"Now, Dortmund is in the lead on aggregate again!"

The entire Calderon Stadium fell completely silent instantly!
No one expected that Dortmund would equalize the score so quickly.

This was almost entirely Wang Shuo single-handedly breaking through Atletico Madrid's entire defense.

Perea and Ujfalusi fell to the ground, and neither Domingos nor Assunção could stop them. In the end, even the talented goalkeeper De Gea could not stop Wang Shuo's shot.

What else is there to say?

If Aguero just now single-handedly took down two of Dortmund's center-backs...

Now, Wang Shuo has single-handedly destroyed Atletico Madrid's entire defense!

After scoring, Wang Shuo kept calling out to his teammates, urging them to come and celebrate.

The Bed Sheet Army suffered a major blow.

They finally managed to turn the score around, but less than four minutes later, they were reversed again.

This feeling of gaining initially only to lose later left everyone at Atlético Madrid feeling extremely frustrated.

Especially Wang Shuo.

He single-handedly dismantled Atletico Madrid's entire defense!

What level is this?
No one but Messi can do that!

Wang Shuo ignored the feelings of the Atlético Madrid players and did not care about the reactions of the Atlético Madrid fans in the stands.

He called his teammates over, not only to boost the team's morale but also to encourage them.

"From now on, let's press on with our momentum, take advantage of their recent concesion, launch a fierce attack, and strive to win another goal!"

"it is good!"

The players responded to Wang Shuo's call in unison.

……

The game starts again.

Dortmund began to launch their most effective attacking strategy.

When Atletico Madrid kicked off, Borussia Dortmund pressed forward with almost their entire squad, chasing everyone into the attacking third and launching a relentless attacking pressure on Atletico Madrid. Everyone was fully committed, and their tactical execution was excellent.

This made the Bed Sheet Army feel what suffocating pressure truly meant!
Under Dortmund's aggressive style of play, Atletico Madrid, who are not good at passing and possession, simply couldn't stop them and conceded goals one after another.

Once Dortmund wins the ball, they immediately launch a quick counter-attack.

This put Atletico Madrid's penalty area in a state of panic.

And then, in the 19th minute...

Dortmund intercepted the ball near the halfway line once again and passed it to Wang Shuo.

With his back to the direction of the attack, Wang Shuo used his back to shield Perea, stopped the ball, and then passed it back to Götze.

As soon as Götze stopped the ball, he was entangled by Assunção.

Having been through a tough time in the first leg, Götze seemed intimidated by Assunção and his first instinct was to protect the ball.

Wang Shuo originally intended to run over and support Götze.

But he saw that Sahin had run out of space on the left side of the center circle. He turned his head and looked behind him, and a new idea suddenly came to mind.

"Give it to Shahin!" Wang Shuo shouted.

He then immediately turned and ran forward.

Götze was already facing away from the direction of the attack.

Upon hearing Wang Shuo's shout, he immediately located Sahin and passed the ball to him.

Götze passed the ball back, and Sahin launched a frontal attack. He saw Wang Shuo sprinting forward, immediately chased after him, and delivered a precise over-the-top pass, sending the ball behind the defense and towards the edge of the penalty area.

Wang Shuo made a rapid forward run, quickly breaking through the gap between the two center-backs, Perea and Dominguez.

"Offside trap!!"

"Wang Shuo was not offside!"

Wang Shuo quickly moved forward and caught up with Sahin's pass at the top of the arc, then controlled the ball steadily in mid-air.

At that moment, De Gea rushed out of the penalty area and pounced on Wang Shuo.

The two center-backs behind Wang Shuo were too late to stop him.

So his attention was focused on De Gea.

After controlling the ball with his right foot, Wang Shuo then took control of it with another foot and stepped into the penalty area.

As De Gea charged forward, he quickly stepped forward with his left foot, his eyes fixed on De Gea.

In that split second, the Spanish goalkeeper had no chance to make any rational judgment and instinctively realized that this was another pendulum dribble!
He had already studied Wang Shuo repeatedly during the pre-match preparation.

The pendulum dribble is Wang Shuo's specialty.

This time will definitely be the same!

De Gea didn't fall for it; he was waiting for Wang Shuo's next move and was ready to dive down and catch the ball.

Because he can use his hands.

But in that instant, after Wang Shuo stepped out with his left foot, he saw that De Gea hadn't "fallen for it," so he immediately followed with his right foot, using the outside of his foot to push the ball to the left front, and chased after him at top speed.

De Gea was completely stunned!
Holy crap, it's actually true!

Isn't he best at the pendulum dribble?
Why aren't you playing around this time?

When De Gea realized he had been tricked and turned to chase after him, he slipped and fell inside the penalty area.

In the instant he fell to the ground, he saw Wang Shuo strike the empty net with his left foot and score!
After scoring, the Chinese player turned around to look at him, his face showing surprise.

What the hell!

Even though no pendulum was swinging over him, why did he still fall to the ground?

Could it be that my one-on-one chance comes with the goalkeeper falling to the ground effect?

Never mind, let's celebrate the goal!
Wang Shuo excitedly rushed out to celebrate!
