The God of Football starts with passive skills

Chapter 11 Hat Trick!

The 1-2 scoreline at halftime completely enraged Bayern!

As one of the top clubs in Germany and even Europe, Bayern U19 has lost some games this season.

But that was when they weren't really putting in their best effort.

Once they started to exert their strength, they immediately embarked on a winning streak that was unstoppable.

Despite their unstoppable winning streak, Mainz, a team that seemed like an ant, actually stood in Bayern's way.

They even launched two surprise attacks in the first half, breaching Bayern's goal.

How could Bayern Munich possibly tolerate this?

Therefore, after the start of the second half, Bayern U19, composed of Germany's top youth training talents, took the initiative and launched a barrage of attacks on Mainz.

They were truly enraged!

Kramny realized this during halftime.

Mainz adopted a defensive posture from the start of the second half.

Even Wang Shuo, Schürrle, and Medinitz, who were preparing to launch counter-attacks, took turns dropping back to participate in the defense.

Even so, Bayern still managed to breach Mainz's goal.

Thomas Müller is good at making runs, but close-quarters combat with defenders is not his forte.

He was limited when facing a team with a solid defense like Mainz.

However, Ekić, who holds dual Turkish and German citizenship, capitalized on a late run and unleashed a long-range shot from outside the penalty area, piercing the goal guarded by Mainz U19's Turkish goalkeeper, Volkan Teken.

2 is better than 2!

The competition is back to square one.

After equalizing, Bayern did not rest on their laurels but instead pressed their advantage.

With its formidable strength, the German powerhouse continued its fierce attack on Mainz.

Passing and ball control in midfield has always been Mainz's weakness.

When facing a strong opponent like Bayern Munich, Mainz was completely suppressed and could only passively take the beating.

This made it clear to everyone the gap in strength between the two teams.

But Mainz is not a pushover either.

As the team with the best defense in the U19 league, Mainz managed to hold off Bayern's relentless attacks, albeit with some close calls.

In the 58th minute, Niedermeier made his first substitution of the match.

Diego Pizarro, a talented striker with dual Peruvian and Italian citizenship, replaced midfielder Taigon Kulu.

The latter also holds dual German and Turkish citizenship.

After the substitution, Diego Pizarro was moved to the front, forming a two-striker formation with Thomas Müller.

But in the actual game, Thomas Müller was more responsible for positioning and roaming.

Diego Pizarro was responsible for leading the attack and drawing the attention of the Mainz U19 defenders.

Just three minutes later, a series of passes in Bayern's midfield saw Diego Pizarro draw the firepower up front, while Ekic delivered a diagonal pass from the edge of the penalty area.

Thomas Müller made a quick run into position and slid in to send the ball into the Mainz U19 goal.

3 is better than 2!

Just three minutes after the substitution, Bayern scored again, turning the score around!

The entire match was full of twists and turns, and incredibly exciting.

More than 2 fans have gathered at the sidelines to watch.

They all cheered for Bayern's brilliant performance.

"too strong!"

"This Bayern team is simply unbeatable!"

The substitution proved effective, and after turning the score around, Niedermeier made a second substitution.

The gifted young player Gianluca Smari, who holds dual German and Italian citizenship, replaced Yannick Kakoko.

"Nidemeier is not satisfied with the 3-2 score and wants to continue to attack Mainz."

"Mainz is in danger now."

"Who says otherwise? Bayern has already made two substitutions, but Mainz U19 hasn't dared to make even one."

……

"There's no one to replace me!"

Amidst the murmurs of the crowd on the sidelines, a tall, middle-aged man with a full beard spoke to a friend with long, center-parted hair beside him.

The middle-aged man with the thick beard spoke with a tone full of helplessness and sighs.

“Any one of them from Bayern’s youth team is a genius, but what about us?” The middle-aged man with long, center-parted hair shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Klopp and his players have done their best!"

The current situation is that Mainz U19 dares not make any substitutions.

They were afraid that they might accidentally affect the team's defense and concede goals in succession.

Bayern's strength advantage is obvious.

"Is that Asian player the one sponsored by a South Korean company?" The middle-aged man with a thick beard had been watching Wang Shuo throughout the game, but he didn't recognize him.

“Doesn’t look like it.” The long-haired man with a middle parting shook his head. “I spoke with Kramny before, and he didn’t think highly of that Korean.”

The bearded middle-aged man clearly showed that Kramny greatly admired the Asian player on the field.

Then it shouldn't be a Korean.

When did another Asian player arrive in the U19 team?
Is it sponsored by Japanese and South Korean companies again?

"Maybe I've been so busy with the first team lately that I haven't had the time or energy to pay attention to the second team and the U19 team."

The bearded middle-aged man is none other than Jürgen Klopp, the first-team head coach of Mainz.

The man with long, center-parted hair next to him is his capable assistant, Zelik Buvac.

"This kid is something else; his awareness of movement is incredibly sharp."

When Buvac played, he was a midfield playmaker, and his overall vision was particularly outstanding.

Therefore, he immediately noticed Wang Shuo's movements on the court.

"Yes, I play right-back, and I can relate to Badstuber's defensive struggles," Klopp said with a smile, his tone revealing his admiration for Wang Shuo.

"Not only that, look at the players' positioning on the field, especially Schürrle and Medinitz, they are clearly running around that Asian player as the core."

"You mean..."

"This kid's positioning is very smart, and he has a wide range of movement. He is more like the attacking core of the U19 frontcourt."

Klopp was somewhat surprised.

He knew André Schürrle well.

This player is a key youth player being groomed by Mainz.

Even he was willing to play for that Asian player, so that player must be extraordinary.

"Interesting." Klopp's interest in Wang Shuo intensified.

Even so, under the intense pressure from Bayern Munich, Mainz U19 still had few opportunities.

However, the subsequent development of the game was somewhat unexpected for them.

……

After 75 minutes, Bayern Munich still hadn't managed to break through Mainz's defense again.

Kramny's team played a very tight defensive game.

They were all around 18 years old.

After 75 minutes of intense play, even Bayern Munich, who dominated the game, had players who were exhausted.

The pace of the game has clearly slowed down.

The defensive pressure on Mainz has been relieved.

But Kramny still didn't make any substitutions.

Under these circumstances, Mainz players are more exhausted.

Many players have begun to experience fatigue.

Bayern Munich is also having a tough time.

In this situation, only Wang Shuo, who was at the front, was still running all over the field without sparing any effort.

It was precisely because of the contrast with everyone around him that Wang Shuo stood out even more.

Actually, it's very difficult for him to touch the ball when he runs like that alone.

Bayern's entire midfield is comprised of a group of exceptionally talented players whose abilities are readily apparent. Wang Shuo's runs, at best, could only slightly hinder Bayern's passing, offering little help to the overall game.

Even so, Wang Shuo was still running.

Keep running!

On the eve of his trial in Germany, the university principal had a long talk with him.

One sentence in particular left a deep impression on Wang Shuo.

"In a situation where there are 11 people against 11 people, the strength of one person is small, even negligible."

"But that shouldn't be a reason to give up."

"Through persistent efforts and an unwavering determination, he can inspire many people and resonate with them on a spiritual level!"

"This resonance is incredibly powerful, enough to overcome anything!"

"So, Wang Shuo, you must remember one thing: in the world of football, strength and weakness are never permanent!"

"From an individual, a club, or even a country, we need people who persevere and never give up!"

Gao Huai-ren was Wang Shuo's mentor in the world of football.

He was also the senior he respected most in his life.

He believed what Gao Huai-ren said.

Therefore, whether in China or during his trial in Europe, he always gave it his all.

When substitute Smari successfully broke through Kirschhof and tried to dribble towards the penalty area, Wang Shuo ran back from the front, chasing desperately.

Finally, he caught up with Smari outside the penalty area and made a sliding tackle to clear the ball from Smari's feet.

There has been no foul yet.

This caused an uproar throughout the stadium.

"Too cruel."

"He can really run a lot, tracking back from the attacking third to the penalty area."

After Wang Shuo got up from the ground, he waved to Kirchhoff and then quickly ran to the front of the field.

He didn't say a word from beginning to end.

Everyone around was too tired to run anymore.

Isn't he tired?

tired.

But he kept running.

The ball was lost in the attacking third the next moment.

Wang Shuo rushed over immediately to assist Schürrle in pressing high up the pitch, forcing Contento to pass the ball back.

Schürrle felt a pang of unease as he watched Wang Shuo run ahead again.

He believes that at this moment, all the Mainz players feel the same way as he does.

Wrong!

So frustrating!

Even against Bayern Munich, being completely dominated and pressured like this is incredibly frustrating!
Does this mean that Bayern Munich's players are born with an extra leg?

Looking ahead, Wang Shuo was chasing after Badstuber, trying to grab him.

After Badstuber passed the ball to Elb, he then went after Elb.

Bayern's players don't look that strong!
Weren't they forced into a corner by Wang Shuo?
If Wang Shuo can do it, why can't I?

Can't we do it?
When Schürrle thought of this, he clenched his teeth and roared.

"Fight!"

With that, he chased after Contento.

Almost simultaneously, Medinitz on the other side also rushed forward.

Midfielders like Kirchhoff were also pushing forward.

Having caught their breath, they were determined to keep fighting Bayern!
The Bayern players were genuinely surprised.

The game had already gone on for 80 minutes, and Mainz's players were still pressing forward and pressing.

If it were an adult team, it might not be surprising, but this is the U19 team!

The Bayern players were clearly surprised when the Mainz players rushed over.

The ball was intercepted near the bottom of the center circle in their own half.

After Kirchhoff intercepted the ball, he passed it to Benjamin Bischoff, who immediately passed it forward.

When Wang Shuo received the ball in an open space, he passed it diagonally to the right wing, intending to find Schürrle.

When Schürrle was about to break through, Contento chose to foul.

Bayern's left-back received a yellow card.

Mainz, on the other hand, won a free kick on the right side of the penalty area in the attacking third.

Right-back Constantine Flynn quickly stepped forward, placed the ball, and then slowly retreated.

At this point, Mainz's tallest players were mostly inside the penalty area.

As the player with the best cross-passing technique on the right wing in the team, Flynn delivered a precise, curved ball that landed right in the center of Bayern's penalty area.

The next moment, Kirchhoff broke through Bayern's defenders, leaped high into the air, and headed the ball into Bayern's goal.

3 is better than 3!

Kirchhoff landed like a heavily armored tank, letting out a powerful roar.

The Mainz players all chased after them.

"Well done, Yang!"

"Well done!"

Like the others, Wang Shuo chased after Kirchhoff and hugged him. Then he quickly ran towards Bayern's goal, scooped up the ball inside the goal, and sprinted towards the center circle.

"Let's go, let's go, hurry back and prepare for the next attack!"

The Mainz players immediately cheered in unison.

Even Kirchhoff didn't celebrate his goal, but quickly ran back to his own half.

All the fans around the stadium were stunned!
Is this still the Mainz team they know?

Klopp, watching from the sidelines, had his eyes sparkling with admiration.

This indomitable fighting spirit, which persists even in dire straits and never gives up, is exactly the 5% that my mentor Wolfgang Frank repeatedly emphasized.

Kramny was constantly clapping and cheering for his players from the sidelines.

"Well done, keep it up!"

"We still have a chance!"

When the game resumed, everyone realized that the situation had reversed.

Mainz, having equalized, continued to apply pressure.

Bayern Munich, exhausted from physical exertion, were clearly struggling to keep up with their aggressive opponents.

Just six minutes later, Bayern made a mistake in passing the ball in their own half.

Ekic's pass was intercepted by Kirschhof and then passed to Flynn, who had made a run down the right flank.

Flynn spotted Wang Shuo raising his hand for the ball and immediately delivered a low, diagonal pass.

The ball was passed diagonally from the right flank to the right side of the penalty arc.

Despite being pressured by Badstuber, Wang Shuo surged forward at top speed, shaking off the Bayern center-back and sprinting relentlessly.

Time seemed to freeze in that instant.

To everyone's surprise, after 87 minutes of play, with the team on the defensive and under pressure, Wang Shuo, who had run countless kilometers throughout the match, was still able to sprint.

He caught up with Flynn's diagonal pass even before Elb.

Wang Shuo stopped the ball inside Bayern's penalty area and then went up again.

Goalkeeper Oswald came out to challenge once again.

But Wang Shuo, on the right side of the penalty spot, caught up with the ball first and decisively took a shot.

The football whizzed past Oswald and nestled into the unguarded goal behind him.

The next moment, the referee blew his whistle to signal that the goal was valid!

"hat trick!"

"My God, Your Majesty, you actually did it!"
