The God of Football starts with passive skills

Chapter 30 Special Passive Skills

Wang Shuo left the field amidst applause from more than 2 fans.

Calhanoglu, who scored the penalty, even came over, put his arm around his shoulder, and celebrated with him.

The fans in the stands gave them the loudest applause.

3 consecutive wins!

Mainz has made a stunning showing thanks to their recent winning streak.

This made everyone feel as if they were seeing the Mainz team that was unstoppable in the first half of the season!

The results of the other matches in this round have also been released one after another.

Greuther Fürth drew 1-1 with Paderborn at home.

The deputy squad leader still hasn't given up hope of staying in the league.

Borussia Mönchengladbach defeated Offenbach 7-1 away from home.

But Offenbach was very dissatisfied with the result.

In this match, referee Sippel awarded Borussia Mönchengladbach two red cards and two penalty kicks.

Without these factors, Borussia Mönchengladbach might not have escaped unscathed.

Freiburg defeated Munich 1860 3-0 away from home.

The match that Mainz is most interested in this round is Daum's Cologne hosting Rangnick's Hoffenheim.

The two sides were tied 1-1 in the first half.

However, in the second half, Cologne scored two goals in the 66th and 69th minutes.

Daum's team defeated Hoffenheim 3-1.

After 31 rounds of matches, Borussia Mönchengladbach has 60 points and continues to lead the league.

Cologne defeated Hoffenheim and came from behind to take second place in the 2. Bundesliga with 54 points.

Hoffenheim has 53 points, placing them third.

Mainz is in fourth place with 52 points.

Freiburg also has 52 points, but is ranked 5th due to goal difference.

Fiat only managed 48 points, essentially losing any hope of promotion.

With only three rounds left in the 3. Bundesliga, the situation for promotion to the Bundesliga is becoming increasingly difficult.

So far, the top 5 teams are all vying for 3 Bundesliga spots.

Even though Borussia Mönchengladbach is basically guaranteed a win, there is still a theoretical possibility of them losing.

After the team returned to the locker room, Klopp once again singled out Wang Shuo for praise.

The Mainz players are already used to it.

After the last three league matches, Klopp has routinely singled out Wang Shuo for praise.

Wang Shuo's performance was indeed very good.

Scoring in three consecutive matches is truly remarkable for a player who is only 17 years old.

The last young player to score in three consecutive rounds in the 3. Bundesliga was German striker Nils Petersen, who plays for Jena.

As a key player for the German national team, Petersen scored in three consecutive rounds this season, in rounds 15, 16 and 17.

So far, he has made 17 appearances in the 2. Bundesliga, scoring only 4 goals.

But Peterson was already 19 years old.

The best performing young player this season is none other than 19-year-old Marin from Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Marin's goal against Offenbach this round brought his total to three goals.

But he had 11 assists.

This is the result achieved in 28 matches.

What about Wang Shuo?
Three matches, three goals.

Such efficiency is astonishing!
Within the Mainz team, Wang Shuo ranks second only to his friend Subotic among players under the age of 20.

19-year-old Subotic has scored 4 goals, one more than Wang Shuo.

A quick comparison reveals just how good Wang Shuo's performance was; there's no need to elaborate.

He deserved the praise from Klopp.

……

After Klopp left to attend the post-match press conference, Wang Shuo received congratulations from his teammates.

With the exception of Borja, almost everyone was pleased with Wang Shuo's outstanding performance.

This includes forwards such as Baljak and Boyakye.

They all hope the team can make a strong comeback and return to the Bundesliga.

After taking a shower and changing his clothes, Wang Shuo took advantage of his free time to enter the God of Football System.

As expected, I gained another 3 passive points during the post-match review.

Right now, his passive value is exactly 50 points.

He immediately put those 50 passive points into the huge soccer ball in the middle.

"Use 50 passive points to obtain one passive skill card. Do you want to draw it now?"

"Yes!"

Wang Shuo stood there waiting expectantly.

Watching the football go from slow to fast, then from fast to slow, and finally stop.

When he finally saw the information on the pentagon in front of him, he was completely bewildered.

"Congratulations, you have drawn a special passive skill, [Damage Reduction]."

Special passive skill?
Wang Shuo was completely stunned.

He had been wondering what this thing was.

It's been pulled out now?
"Damage Reduction: Significantly reduces the probability of getting injured."

When Wang Shuo focused his attention on it, this simple sentence made him so excited that he almost jumped out of his seat.

As the name suggests, damage reduction means reducing the probability of getting injured.

And by a large margin.

My goodness, there's such a passive skill?
Wang Shuo simply couldn't believe it.

He immediately noticed the special features of the passive skill [Damage Reduction].

From breathing to insight to speed, and finally to ball control, everything has different levels.

Professional level or regional level, there should be even higher levels.

However, the special thing about [Damage Reduction] is that it has no levels.

Does this mean that its special feature is that once it is drawn, it is already at the maximum level?

This is awesome!

I'm sending this out!
As a rookie in professional football who has just left the beginner's village, what is Wang Shuo most worried about?
Injuries!
How many young players have been brought down by injuries?
As a flower of the motherland, Wang Shuo certainly hopes to become stronger and grow up healthily, without getting hurt.

Now it's great, they've given us a damage reduction buff, and a significant one at that.

Although Wang Shuo cannot completely eliminate injuries, they have greatly improved him.

At the very least, he can now act freely and roll things up boldly.

For example, participate in more competitions.

There's also an increase in training intensity.

He used to be very careful with his physical training, especially muscle training, because he was afraid of getting injured.

What now?
No need to worry about that anymore!
How did Cristiano Ronaldo of Manchester United become Cristiano Ronaldo?

Isn't it all thanks to working out day and night at Sporting Lisbon?
Isn't it just that after joining Manchester United, he started chasing after a fitness coach to continuously improve his physical fitness?
Others don't dare to practice like this because they're afraid of getting injured.

But Cristiano Ronaldo, thanks to his grandmother's African heritage and the African genes in his muscles, managed to build himself up.

That's what makes him so awesome.

Now, although Wang Shuo doesn't have African genes, he has a [damage reduction] buff.

You can go all out and build as many as you want! Another point worth noting is that in the God of Ball system, the improvement of passive skills is based on your own attributes.

Why is Wang Shuo so good at running?

Improving [breathing] is certainly very important, but the running ability itself is already excellent.

With the [damage reduction] buff, Wang Shuo can unleash his full potential and continuously improve his basic attributes through training.

The higher your basic stats, the greater the benefits and the more obvious the effects of your passive skills!
Once Wang Shuo understood this, he was completely energized!

European football, I'll crush you all!

……

The facilities in Mainz are very basic.

In the first team, apart from the head coach who has a separate office, everyone else basically works together in one place.

Speaking well during interviews makes communication and exchange easier.

But everyone knows they couldn't afford to build them!

But there is one exception.

Axel Busenkel is a long-time player for the club.

He joined the team in 2000 as a rehabilitation coach.

At that time, Klopp was still a first-team player.

Later, Klopp took over the team and began to reform the first team.

At the time, Busenkel, who was 30 years old, became one of Klopp's most trusted assistants, taking on more tasks and beginning further learning and communication.

So he took over Mainz's only gym and became the club's fitness coach.

There is a limited number of seats on the coach's bench for each game.

Busenkel has no place in the squad, so he does not need to play for the team.

On match days, he would move his chair to the big TV in the gym, lie down, cross his legs, open a couple of bottles of wine, and watch the match while drinking.

They were living a very comfortable life.

He does the same thing even when it's a home game.

It was already 19 PM when Mainz defeated Kaiserslautern 2-0.

It was already dark.

Seeing their team achieve three consecutive victories, Mainz fans left Bruchweg Stadium with great satisfaction.

Busenkel happily folded up his deck chair, cleaned up the beer bottles and peanut shells, and prepared to go home and hug his wife.

"Another beautiful night!"

Just as Busenkel was full of anticipation and preparing to close the door, two people suddenly burst in from outside.

One was tall but slightly thin.

There was another one who was shorter and thinner.

"It's closed."

Busenkel thought it was a fan who had barged in. "Sorry, we don't accept fans here."

“It’s me, Axel,” the tall man called out.

There was a hint of helplessness in his tone, as if he had been held hostage by criminals.

Busenkel recognized the voice, went over and turned on the light, and found that it was Subotic.

"Why are you here?"

And look next to Subotic, isn't that 17-year-old Wang Shuo who just performed exceptionally well?
"Hey, Wang, it's great to see you at this time. You did a fantastic job just now."

"Thank you for your compliment, Axel."

"Please wait a moment, please sign your name for me."

Busenkel quickly went over, opened his small backpack, took out a small notebook and a pen, and handed them to Wang Shuo.

"You should write: To the wise Hans."

"Hans?"

“My son,” Busenkel chuckled.

Doesn't this name sound intelligent?

"He's also a Mainz fan, and he made me make sure I collect every player's autograph so he can keep it."

Wang Shuo suddenly realized what was going on and immediately started signing.

"Wait a minute, Axel, you're going to collect every player's autograph, so why didn't you ask me for one?"

Subotic was like a blind man who discovered a brilliant idea.

Who do you look down on?
Wang Shuo has already signed, why didn't he contact me?
Am I really that insignificant?

"Well... that's why I came to you. I didn't have a chance before, and you rarely come here." Busenkel spoke even louder than Subotic, sounding completely innocent.

"Is that right?"

Subotic looked on in disbelief.

Just as Wang Shuo finished signing, Busenkel immediately grabbed a small notebook and pen and forcefully shoved them into Subotic's hand.

"That's it, that's right!"

Ok.

Subotic had no choice but to sign.

"By the way, Wang, didn't you just finish a match? Why are you here?" Busenkel asked, somewhat puzzled.

Wang Shuo chuckled and looked around, discovering that although the gym in Mainz was not large, it was well-equipped.

The place is also relatively quiet, making it a good place to exercise in peace.

"I wasn't quite satisfied with the match just now, so I wanted to come over and do some extra practice," Wang Shuo said matter-of-factly.

Busenkel's eyes were wide open.

He had seen the players doing extra training sessions.

But he had never seen a player train alone after a match.

Isn't this being too hard on myself?

"you sure?"

"of course."

As he spoke, Wang Shuo took off his coat and walked toward his bicycle.

“It’s already past 19 p.m.,” Busenkel said, turning around and following after him.

Strictly speaking, it's already past working hours.

"It's okay, I still have plenty of energy. I'll probably practice for another two or three hours and then go back."

Two or three hours?
Busenkel almost cried out.

No, bro, are you serious?

My wife is waiting for me at home, and you still want to practice for two or three hours?

By the time you finish practicing and I get home, it'll be too late.

"You're still young, Wang. Don't overtrain; you're prone to injury," Busenkel advised anxiously.

“I’m not that fragile, Axel. If you have something to do, you can go ahead. I can manage on my own.”

May I?
Busenkel thought it wouldn't work.

How can a responsible fitness coach just leave a 17-year-old kid to train haphazardly in the gym?

Wang Shuo didn't notice Busenkel's odd behavior and said to Subotic with a smile, "From now on, I'll come to the gym an hour early every morning, and I'll come for extra training after my regular workout."

Busenkel was moved to tears.

Bro, just roll it yourself, don't drag me into it!

My wife is waiting for me at home!
