Chapter 31 Ace
Klopp arrives at the training ground on time every day.

To his surprise, he did not see Wang Shuo outside the training field today.

That's a bit unusual.

Over the past period, Wang Shuo has arrived an hour earlier than everyone else every morning to practice on his own, never slacking off.

What's wrong with me today?
Are you injured? Or sick?
Klopp quickened his pace with some concern and entered the training building.

As soon as I arrived at my office, before I even entered, I saw Zelik Buvac.

"Zelico, come here for a second."

With that, Klopp opened the door and went into his office.

Buvac followed closely behind.

"what's wrong?"

"Did you see Wang Shuo this morning?" Klopp asked with concern.

"I saw it, at the gym."

"The gym?" Klopp stopped what he was doing and turned to look at Buvac in surprise.

"Busenkel came over earlier but couldn't find you. He said he had something important to discuss with you."

"Axel? Has he come to work?"

Klopp is even stranger.

In his memory, Busenkel was the kind of guy who would never work overtime, even if the sky were to fall.

I start work at 9 a.m. sharp every day, and leave work on time.

What's going on today?

How strange, these are all of them.

Just as Klopp was wondering what was going on, Busenkel appeared at the door and knocked.

"Hey, Axel... what's wrong with you?"

In Klopp's memory, Busenkel, who started as a fitness coach, first worked as a rehabilitation coach and now manages a gym. He was in great shape and always had a lot of energy.

Most importantly, he doesn't need to travel to away games, and his schedule is very regular.

But Busenkel looked a bit listless this morning.

Especially when greeting people upon entering, they give off a listless and depressed feeling.

"What's wrong? Did you have a fight with your wife?" Klopp asked casually.

To everyone's surprise, Busenkel seemed to be provoked and replied loudly, "No, we get along very well."

Klopp and Buvac exchanged a glance, both realizing what was going on.

As people who have been through it, they vaguely guessed that this was probably the reason.

"Speak, what do you want?" Klopp smiled and didn't ask any further questions.

Busenkel immediately looked aggrieved, "It's all because of Wang Shuo."

"What's wrong with Wang Shuo?" Klopp asked with concern upon hearing the name.

This is Mainz's most important core fighting force right now, as it is related to the team's goal of promotion to the top league.

Busenkel immediately launched into a detailed account of what had happened the previous night after the match.

Wang Shuo really came here for extra practice, and he practiced for a full three hours before leaving feeling refreshed.

But I made an appointment with him and arrived at 8 a.m.

Before Busenkel could finish speaking, Buvac, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

This kid is outrageous!
You roll it yourself, fine, but you're dragging others to roll it with you?

Who is Busenkel?
A guy who thinks his wife is everything!

If you can be on time, you'll never arrive early.

His ability is undeniable; otherwise, Klopp wouldn't have given him a second glance back then.

In recent years, Mainz has arranged for him to go out for training and further studies to improve his professional skills.

Klopp now fully understands Busenkel's frustration.

Wang Shuo usually doesn't start work until 9 a.m., but he arrives at 8 a.m.

Given Busenkel's personality, can he really just abandon this situation?
"You two, stop laughing all the time and think of something!" Busenkel was getting annoyed too.

The players are yours, you have to manage them!
Klopp and Buvac could no longer contain themselves and laughed even louder.

"Okay, I'll take care of it."

Klopp looked at Buvac, "Zelic, arrange for Wang Shuo to have a thorough physical examination right away."

"Axel, you go too."

"I am coming too?"

"Of course, once the test results come out, you should tailor a set of physical strengthening training specifically for Wang Shuo's condition, proceeding step by step, so that he doesn't just train aimlessly on his own."

Klopp's arrangement was reasonable, and Busenkel had no choice but to agree.

"Furthermore, I promise you that as long as we make it back to the Bundesliga this season, I will apply to the higher-ups to assign you an assistant, and then you will be free to do so."

Upon hearing this, Busenkel's expression immediately brightened, and he smiled broadly.

“But I have one condition.” Klopp looked solemnly at Busenkel.

"Say, you say."

"You'd better keep a close eye on Wang Shuo for me."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Busenkel left satisfied.

Before leaving, he discussed with Klopp about giving Wang Shuo half an hour of extra training time every morning, scheduled from 8:30 to 9:00.

This way, he only needs to arrive at work half an hour early.

As for extra practice in the afternoon and evening, that's unnecessary.

At 17, it's best not to train too hard.

After seeing Busenkel off, Klopp turned to look at Buvac.

“Zeliko, you should also make preparations quickly. It’s not good for him to train on his own every day. Arrange a coach for him.”

Buvac frowned and thought for a moment, then agreed. "The first team is really short-handed. If we really succeed in getting promoted, let's promote Kramny to the first team," Buvac suggested.

Klopp is leaving after failing to gain promotion to the top league.

He no longer needs to worry about these things.

“I’ve already mentioned it to Haider. Regardless of whether we get promoted to the top league, Kramny will join the first team. He’s the one who trained Wang Shuo, so it’s most suitable for him to mentor Wang Shuo.”

It's easy to see from this that Mainz will go all out to cultivate Wang Shuo.

Christian Haider was a businessman by trade and had a very keen sense of smell.

He knew very well that Wang Shuo was the kind of player who could be sold for a good price.

Klopp asked himself if he would want to buy Wang Shuo if he were to coach another team.

This player is young, but he is really useful and is improving very quickly. He has a promising future.

"The U19 team has already found a replacement for Kramny."

"Who?"

"Thomas Tuchel, head coach of Augsburg II team."

Augsburg avoided relegation in the 2. Bundesliga this season, but their reserve team performed even worse.

Thomas Tuchel is a former coach in Stuttgart's youth academy and also a professional player, so his abilities are quite recognized.

"Prepare well, we absolutely must win this game against Wehen Wiesbaden this weekend!"

Klopp said with a resolute expression.

The remaining three rounds are all finals!
Wang Shuo has now become a trump card in Klopp's hands!
……

This weekend, in the 32nd round of the German Second Division, Mainz will host Wehen Wiesbaden at Bruchweg Stadium.

When the game reached 47 minutes and 21 seconds into the second half, the entire stadium erupted when Wang Shuo suddenly darted out and intercepted the ball from Wayne Wiesbaden's center-back Christian Glibo.

After intercepting the ball, Wang Shuo dribbled straight forward.

The speed is getting faster and faster.

The other center-back, Dayan Simach, who was trailing behind, desperately chased back and got close to Wang Shuo, but the 26-year-old Croatian center-back knew very well that he couldn't stop Wang Shuo at all.

Just watch helplessly as Wang Shuo storms into the penalty area?

Do not!
Simachi took action, grabbing Wang Shuo's jersey outside the penalty area and pulling him to the ground.

The cheers at Bruchweg Stadium instantly turned into a chorus of boos.

"Red card! No doubt about it!"

"That center-back is disgusting. At a crucial moment, he actually committed a foul in order to stop Wang Shuo from having a one-on-one opportunity."

"He was the last defender, he absolutely had to be given a red card."

"That's right. If he hadn't intervened, Wang Shuo would have already broken into the restricted area."

"Wang Shuo was indeed a bit unlucky tonight. In the first half, Mainz's opening goal from a free kick was caused by a foul on Wang Shuo by center-back Glibo."

"He then assisted Gunkel in scoring a goal."

"When it was my turn, I got fouled by my opponent again."

"This is a bit unlucky!"

"I think, on the contrary, this proves that German second division teams are paying more and more attention to Wang Shuo and are constantly strengthening their restrictions on him."

"The person upstairs is right. I also think that Wayne Wiesbaden paid great attention to Wang Shuo's defense in this game."

"It doesn't matter that he didn't score; Wang Shuo's performance today was outstanding!"

As expected, the referee issued a red card.

Dayan Simach was clearly prepared; upon seeing the red card, he made no excuses and simply turned and left.

A cheer erupted from the crowd.

Mainz are currently leading by two goals and have one more player than their opponents.

Wang Shuo was in a pretty good mood as he grabbed Foyle's hand and got up from the grass.

Although they missed a one-on-one scoring opportunity, the opponent also received a red card.

"Well done, Wang!" Foyle patted Wang Shuo on the shoulder forcefully.

This teammate's performance improved with each game.

Most importantly, even if he is restricted and unable to score goals, he can still find opportunities to contribute to the team and create opportunities for his teammates.

That's the biggest difference between him and Borja.

If Borja can't score, his contribution is very small.

It was at this moment that Wang Shuo and Feulner both saw Klopp gesturing towards them from the sidelines.

He made the number thirteen with both hands.

This is a reminder to Wang Shuo that he will be substituted after about 60 minutes.

Feulner is similar.

If the situation doesn't change significantly, he should be substituted around the 65th to 70th minute.

The reason is simple: the real battle will be the next away game against Cologne!

Klopp and Mainz will put all their resources and the team's best performance into this match.

Only by defeating Cologne can Mainz have a chance to overtake Cologne in the standings.

With Klopp's instructions, Wang Shuo and the Mainz players began to slow down the pace of the game and play more cautiously.

In the 64th minute, Borja came on as a substitute, replacing Wang Shuo.

In the 70th minute, Elgin Soto replaced Feulner.

In the 76th minute, Baljak assisted Calhan, who then broke through Wehen Wiesbaden's goal.

In the end, Mainz won 3-0 at home against Wehen Wiesbaden.

Wang Shuo's scoring streak came to an end after scoring in three consecutive rounds.

But after the match, Klopp once again singled out Wang, saying, "Wang was the best player of both teams in this match! He was also our sharpest weapon on the field!"

At this moment, everyone knew that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Wang Shuo would definitely be a starting player in the decisive match against Cologne a week later.
