The God of Football starts with passive skills

Chapter 75 The Dilemma of a Genius! The Fastest Goal in History! Dortmund is Going Crazy! Wang Shuo, UEFA is Watching You!

Now, more and more teams are adopting a certain strategy when playing against Borussia Dortmund.

They held their ground for the first hour, then went all out in the last half hour.

That's exactly what the cunning Heynckes did.

Despite conceding a goal early in the game, Leverkusen remained composed and played steadily.

The Leverkusen team under Heynckes is clearly different from the Bayer Leverkusen team under Labbadia last season.

The latter is more aggressive in tactics, somewhat similar to Klopp's coaching style.

What about Heynckes?
He's actually more stable.

For example, in this match, he used a 4-4-2 formation, with Tony Kroos on the left wing.

In the second half, after 65 minutes, Leverkusen pressed forward with almost all their might.

Bayer Leverkusen received 3 yellow cards, while Borussia Dortmund received 1.

Finally, in the 74th minute, with a corner kick opportunity, Toni Kroos accurately found captain Friedrich, who headed the ball past Weidenfeller.

1 is better than 1!

The two sides shook hands and made peace.

This is an outcome that both parties can accept.

Borussia Dortmund continues to lead, while Bayer Leverkusen has not fallen behind.

More importantly, Hamburg drew 3-3 with Schalke 04 away from home in this round.

10轮比赛踢完，多特蒙德是8胜1平1负，拿到了25分。

Both Bayer Leverkusen and Hamburg have 22 points.

Werder Bremen earned 21 points.

……

When the game ended, after celebrating with his teammates, Wang Shuo noticed Heynckes waving at him from the sidelines.

Wang Shuo immediately ran over.

"Hi, Joseph!"

When Gao Huai-ren came to Germany to play football, his experience was also quite bizarre.

He came to Germany under the pretext of recuperating from injuries, but then stayed and refused to go back.

He was playing for Borussia Mönchengladbach when Jupp Heynckes was coaching.

Because of this relationship, Wang Shuo was especially grateful to Heynckes.

If we consider seniority in China, Heynckes would be considered his grandmaster.

When Wang Shuo came to Germany for a trial, Gao Huai-ren and Thomas Essien also contacted Heynckes.

At the time, Heynckes was preoccupied with his own problems and had no time to care about Wang Shuo.

Now, seeing Wang Shuo emerge, Heynckes feels both gratified and ashamed, and also somewhat regretful.

If he had paid more attention to Wang Shuo back then, the situation might have been completely different.

Heynckes still acknowledged Wang Shuo's performance this season.

"Your progress this season is obvious, but you still need to work harder. The next two or three years will be the time when you improve the fastest. You must try your best to reach the top. What you can achieve in the future depends on these two or three years."

Heynckes' words were actually a warning to Wang Shuo not to be arrogant or complacent.

Wang Shuo nodded in understanding.

Don't be fooled by the media's claims that someone is a late bloomer; in reality, that's probably not the case.

For example, Luca Toni's youth academy training was with Modena, who were then in Serie B.

That was Serie B in the 90s, during the peak of Serie A's "Little World Cup" era.

There's also Ruud van Nistelrooy, who trained in Den Bosch before moving to Heerenveen.

Is this a case of late bloomer?

These stars achieved success later in life, but that's relative to top superstars.

Talented players like Owen, Raul, and Del Piero, who made a name for themselves at top clubs early on, are one in a million.

But almost all the famous athletes are basically famous at a young age, and then they move forward step by step.

Around the age of 23, one's career begins to mature.

That's why there's a saying: "One should become famous as early as possible."

Wang Shuo also shared some of his recent experiences playing football.

In their previous interactions, Wang Shuo felt that Heynckes was a very wise person.

He was quite old, but not conservative in his thinking, and he could get along well with Wang Shuo.

"You are now the core of Dortmund's attack, but you still don't have enough chemistry with your teammates."

"I didn't pay much attention to the others, but there was one time during the game just now when right-back Owomoyela went up to receive the ball on the right flank. Did you notice that Friedrich and Hyypiä's recovery speeds were different, creating a mismatch?"

Heynckes laughed at this point.

His smile carried a hint of lingering fear after surviving a disaster.

After hearing this, Wang Shuo nodded repeatedly.

That happened in the 84th minute, when Dortmund intercepted the ball in midfield and quickly launched a counter-attack from the right flank.

When Wang Shuo moved forward, he noticed how old Hyypia was.
With such a robust build, he must be a bit slower than Friedrich when getting back on defense, right?

Wang Shuo certainly couldn't miss such an opportunity.

He immediately moved closer, pressed against Friedrich, and prepared to cut in from behind Hypia.

The ball came from the right flank, and he cut diagonally from Friedrich's side to the right of the penalty spot, with a perfect opportunity to shoot directly with his right foot.

The results of it?
Owomoyela passed the ball to the far post.

But bro, there's no one at the back!
According to Owomoyela, he did see Wang Shuo's gesture, but misunderstood it, thinking that Wang Shuo was going to rush forward at the fastest speed to attack the back point.

A game is often filled with many similar problems.

Also, is this a matter of tacit understanding?

Wang Shuo believes that the main issue is a difference in thinking.

Often, what he can see, his teammates may not be able to see.

Sometimes, even when he points it out, his teammates still can't see it.

"What you need to do now is learn to work with all sorts of different teammates, because you can never expect your teammates to understand your intentions in a timely manner."

At this point, Heynckes pointed to Bayer Leverkusen's number 39 on the sidelines.

Tony Cross!
A German genius.

"He told me that when he played for Bayern Munich, he often encountered similar problems to yours."

Wang Shuo was taken aback.

Is this the dilemma of geniuses?
“That’s Bayern Munich!” Heynckes laughed.

"Football is never just about science and data; it's also a kind of metaphysics, and it's all about feeling."

"Anything that is closely related to people is especially important in terms of feeling."

At this point, Heynckes laughed again.

"When I was talking to Klopp just now, I told him that you guys are playing a kind of thuggish style of play right now."

"After winning the ball in the midfield and backfield, we quickly pass it to the front to launch a counter-attack. If we score, that's fine. If we lose the ball, the whole team presses forward and presses high up the pitch to force the opponent to make mistakes."

"Once you win the ball, launch a fast break immediately from your spot. If you fail to win it back, keep trying to win it back while retreating. Keep trying until you win the ball back."

"Steal the ball, fast break, steal the ball, fast break..."

“I told Klopp that your team will not achieve results until 2012 or 2013 at the latest.”

"Why?" Wang Shuo was very surprised.

How could this have been predicted?

"It's very simple. Your average age is 23 now, and by 2012, the average age will reach 25."

"Did you know that professional athletes start to experience a significant increase in injuries after the age of 25?"

"Before the age of 25, players are still very young, some of them are still developing physically, and they recover very quickly. Even if they get injured, it will not affect their performance in the game at all."

"But after the age of 25, players' physical functions decline and their recovery slows down. It is simply not feasible to continue to maintain this high intensity of physical exertion, and a wide range of injuries will inevitably occur."

"This is what's known as Klopp syndrome!"

Wang Shuo suddenly realized.

He had thought about this before, but not with the same certainty and depth as Heynckes.

"Of course, Klopp's style of play, which hurts the enemy a thousand but also himself six hundred, is much better than Magath's style, which hurts himself eight hundred. More importantly, it doesn't require particularly high technical skills from the players, but it's very effective."

"You know, technically skilled players are often very expensive, and Dortmund can't afford them!"

Wang Shuo understood what Heynckes meant.

Just think, Bumblebee would have to sell everything he owns to buy himself.

Is it realistic to expect them to assemble a lineup of highly skilled players?
Every team has its own way of doing things.

Let alone Dortmund.

Bayern Munich is rich and powerful, isn't it?
But what was the result?
Van Gaal is struggling with the lack of creativity and ball control in midfield.

Ultimately, it's because there aren't enough technically skilled players.

"Alright, I've said enough."

Heynckes saw his players about to leave the field, and it was time for him to go too.

"You refused to join my team back then, so there's no point in telling you all this."

After the laughter and banter, Heynckes told Wang Shuo to call if he had any questions.

Wang Shuo watched Heynckes' departing figure, feeling a warm glow in his heart.

This old man is actually a really good person; he's incredibly capable and has a wealth of knowledge.

However, his coaching record has been consistently poor in recent years.

Sometimes, Wang Shuo also found it particularly strange.

This must be what Heynckes was talking about earlier, the metaphysics!
Despite his strong abilities, high level of coaching, and exceptional knowledge, his coaching results are a complete mess.

Who can I talk to to reason with you?
As for Klopp...

The tactics are indeed as Heynckes said, and will indeed continue to be plagued by the Klopp Syndrome.

But Klopp is a very special person.

Wang Shuo has always believed that half of Dortmund's fighting power comes from its tactics.

The other half comes from Klopp himself.

how to say?

This guy who came out of the Black Forest has a unique personal charm.

With that in mind, Wang Shuo walked over to Klopp.

……

The draw against Bayer Leverkusen away from home didn't have much of an impact on Borussia Dortmund.

In the midweek German Cup Round of 16 match, Klopp again fielded a reserve squad for the away game against Osnabrück.

Young players including Götze, Letalek, and David Vozdic all started the game.

Playing away from home, Dortmund played quite well for the first half hour.

The turning point of the game came just before the end of the first half.

Osnabrück launched a series of attacks, creating several corner kick opportunities.

As a result, they scored two goals in the 37th and 42nd minutes.

Although Dortmund managed to pull back two goals in the second half through Valdes and Tinga, they ultimately lost 2-3 to Osnabrück and were unfortunately eliminated from the German Cup.

This defeat was indeed a bit embarrassing.

Osnabrück is currently playing in the third division of the German league, the 3. Liga.

What level is it roughly?

Many Bundesliga teams' reserve teams, such as Borussia Dortmund 2, Bayern Munich 2, and Stuttgart 2, are currently playing in the 3. Liga.

However, Osnabrück is considered a strong team in the 3rd division, and Borussia Dortmund 2 lost 1-4 away from home.

This match also revealed that Dortmund's youth training program has actually been quite poor in recent years.

Especially young players.

Apart from Götze and Le Tallec, there are basically no other players who can play for the first team at the moment.

Because it was a cup competition, Wang Shuo, along with teammates such as Sahin and Kuba, were not included in the squad and were left in Dortmund by Klopp for rest.

The morning after the team's defeat in the German Cup, a French football magazine published a news article.

……

"Your Majesty, you must treat us!"

Wang Shuo had just finished his extra training and entered the locker room when he was grabbed by an excited Feulner.

This left Wang Shuo feeling very confused.

Before he could even ask clearly, Subotic laughed and egged him on, "You absolutely have to treat us, and you have to treat us to a big meal."

"Yes, we definitely have to treat them to a big meal." The teammates around them chimed in.

Wang Shuo was still completely confused.

"Wait, treating people to a meal is a small matter, but can someone tell me what exactly happened?"

Having gained experience in Mainz, Wang Shuo is now quite adept at hosting dinner parties.

Besides, with his current salary, treating people to meals is a piece of cake for him.

Finally, it was his younger brother Mario Götze who, with an expression of envy, admiration, and worship, handed over a freshly printed bibliography, the page of which was a news article.

France Football magazine announced the 30-man shortlist for the 2009 Ballon d'Or on its official website.

Upon seeing the news, then noticing Götze's expression, and observing the actions of those around him, Wang Shuo was overjoyed. Could it be...?

Wang Shuo took the newspaper and, following Götze's gesture, kept looking down until he found his own name.

Borussia Dortmund: Wang Shuo!
When Wang Shuo saw his name, he was still a little stunned.

He blinked hard, looked again and again, and only then was he sure he wasn't seeing things.

It really is Wang Shuo!
My God, this is incredible!
Wang Shuo was completely at a loss.

In Lükelenberg, if you want to buy a newspaper, you usually go to the convenience store at the gas station or the supermarket.

But when he went out, today's newspaper hadn't even come out yet.

Now that he's seen it, he really can't believe it.

"Remember to treat us, Wang!" Subotic put his arm around Wang Shuo's shoulder, equally excited.

Feulner also stood proudly beside Wang Shuo.

All three of them came from Mainz, so their relationship was naturally extraordinary.

Reus and Götze were also happy for Wang Shuo, as they often trained together.

At this point, Wang Shuo's connections in the locker room became apparent.

Even Valdes, who was competing with him for a spot, was now completely convinced of Wang Shuo's abilities and came over to congratulate him, since making it into the 30-person shortlist was already a huge achievement.

No one doubts that this season's Ballon d'Or and FIFA World Player of the Year awards will belong to Messi.

Some even say that Barcelona will take all three spots in the top three.

Because of last season's treble!
Looking across the entire Bundesliga, with 18 teams and four or five hundred players in the first team, only three players have made it into the top 30 for the Ballon d'Or.

They are Wang Shuo from Borussia Dortmund, Ribery from Bayern Munich, and Dzeko from VfL Wolfsburg.

Strictly speaking, perhaps it should be counted as four.

However, Diego has already transferred to Juventus, so he is not included in the Bundesliga roster.

This is already a very big achievement for Wang Shuo.

When was the last time someone from our team was shortlisted for the Ballon d'Or?

While happy, Wang Shuo also noticed his teammates' discussion.

“In 2003, Jan Kohler made the shortlist, but I think he only got one vote that year.”

Wang Shuo thought for a moment and realized that the 2003 Ballon d'Or winner was Nedved, who, like Jan Koller, was from the Czech Republic.

Wang Shuo had long been familiar with this Czech center forward.

Borussia Dortmund fans will always remember him.

It is said that during those years, Borussia Dortmund was mired in financial difficulties and the team as a whole lacked competitiveness. It was only thanks to Jan Koller that Dortmund maintained its competitiveness in the Bundesliga.

"Actually, in recent years, the number of Bundesliga players nominated for the Ballon d'Or has been decreasing. It seems that there was only one nominee in both 04 and 05."

"Yes, there was only one. In 2004, it was the Greek center forward who played for Werder Bremen."

"In 05, it was Bayern's Ballack."

"There were a few more in 2006, with three: Klose from Werder Bremen, Podolski from Bayern Munich, and Kahn from Bayern Munich."

"Bodolski and Klose both had a one-year career. Back then, Podolski was only 21 years old and went straight into the top 20 of the Ballon d'Or rankings. Everyone thought he would become the next world-class star."

"That's normal, many people travel there throughout the year."

"Speaking of which, Ronaldo is really amazing. In 04, when he was first shortlisted for the Ballon d'Or, he was ranked 12th and received 11 votes, more than Kaká, who was also shortlisted for the first time."

In which year was Messi shortlisted for the Ballon d'Or?

"It was around 06."

"That's such a coincidence! Look, Messi was 19 in 06, Ronaldo was 19 in 04, and Wang is also 19 this year!"

As everyone finished speaking, they all turned to look at Wang Shuo.

Wang Shuo was listening to the gossip, and he was secretly pleased when he heard that he was 19 years old, the same age as Messi and Ronaldo.

Suddenly everyone looked over, and before he could hide his smile, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Why are you looking at me like that?

"My king, I knew you were a repressed pervert," Foyle said with a laugh.

"Even though you're secretly overjoyed, you have to pretend nothing's wrong."

The crowd burst into laughter.

However, it really is quite amazing.

"I am now increasingly convinced of the value of what Beckenbauer said."

"Yes, that's true. However, I remember that when Messi was first nominated, he didn't get many votes either."

"Only 2 votes."

"Yes, very few."

"The most important thing is not how many votes you get in the first year, but to be able to make the list every year. Then, gradually, everyone will acknowledge that you are a superstar."

“Look at Podolski, he only stayed for a year, and then he couldn’t do it anymore.”

"That's right, but I think Wang definitely won't. He's so reliable."

"You can tell by how hard he practices."

"The key is that he's an iron man; I don't think I've ever seen him get injured."

"Perhaps this is his most extraordinary talent—he never gets injured no matter how much he trains. It's so rare!"

Wang Shuo listened to his teammates' round of questions while silently reading the newspaper.

Bild reports that he is the first person born in the 1990s to ever be shortlisted for the Golden Globe.

And so far, he is the only one born in the 90s.

According to his own estimate, he probably won't get many votes.

But my teammates were right about one thing.

The key to winning the Golden Globe isn't how many votes you get in your first year, but whether you can make it in every year thereafter.

Gradually, everyone will acknowledge that you are a superstar.

And most importantly, he should be the team's number one player.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney at Manchester United are the best proof of this.

And Messi at Barcelona, ​​wasn't he only brought up after Ronaldinho stepped down?

The Golden Globe Award has changed hands every year because it's so difficult to win!

To acquire him, you need to become the team's star player and lead the team to achieve results that are truly convincing.

AC Milan in 07, Manchester United in 08 in the Champions League, and Barcelona in 09 in the treble—that's how Kaká, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Messi earned their Ballon d'Or awards.

For Wang Shuo, that's still too far off.

Now, his most important task is to keep moving forward, one step at a time.

After everyone had finished getting ready, they left the locker room and went to the training field.

They discovered that Klopp and the coaches were already waiting for them on the training ground.

When they saw the players come out, they all laughed.

"First, some good news."

Klopp laughed loudly, seemingly impatient.

"For the first time since 2003, we at Borussia Dortmund have had someone on the Ballon d'Or shortlist again!"

"That's... Wang Shuo!"

A round of applause immediately erupted in the audience.

Even Klopp and the coaching staff applauded.

"Wang, this is just the beginning of your professional career. Keep it up!"

As he spoke, Klopp asked Wang Shuo to say a few words to his teammates.

The players also joined in the jeering.

Wang Shuo couldn't postpone it any longer, so he had no choice but to come out.

"This is something I never expected. I am very excited and very proud."

"But what I want to say most is thank you everyone!"

"Without everyone's support and help, I would never have been able to deliver such a performance, so..."

"In short, thank you all!"

"I'll treat everyone to a big meal!" Wang Shuo laughed as he finished speaking and quickly ran back to the queue.

Subotic, Feulner, Reus, and others chimed in, all shouting that they would never let Wang Shuo off the hook and would give him a good beating, and the other players echoed their sentiments. This caused Klopp and Buvac to exchange a glance.

Dortmund's players are now playing with increasing chemistry.

More importantly, the atmosphere in the locker room is great, and this season has great potential!
"Okay, now everyone knows."

"This is a big deal for us at Borussia Dortmund."

"This proves that after years of decline, we are on the road to recovery."

"Especially now, we are at the top of the standings!"

"We must continue our efforts!"

"I believe that as long as we maintain our current momentum, we have a chance to win the halfway championship!"

"We will definitely be the champions by the end of this season!"

……

Borussia Dortmund also attaches great importance to Wang Shuo's inclusion in the 30-man shortlist for the Ballon d'Or.

Not only was the news published on the official website, but it was also announced by the on-site announcer before the Bundesliga Round 11 match against Hertha Berlin at home.

So when Wang Shuo stepped into Westfalenstadion, the entire stadium was chanting his name.

Wang Shuo also performed extremely well in this match.

Just five minutes into the game, he received a diagonal pass from right-back Owomoyela on the right wing, broke the offside trap, entered the penalty area, and scored to open the scoring for Dortmund!

This goal once again sparked jubilation among the more than 8 fans in the stadium!

In the 50th minute of the second half, Wang Shuo once again dropped back to organize the attack, making a brilliant pass to Kuba, and then Owomoyela made a run into the penalty area before being fouled, earning a penalty kick.

Sahin calmly converted the penalty.

2 is better than 0!

In the end, Borussia Dortmund defeated Hertha Berlin 2-0 at home!
In the same round, Bayern Munich drew 0-0 with Stuttgart away from home.

Hamburg lost 2-3 to Borussia Mönchengladbach at home.

Bayer Leverkusen took a 2-0 lead away from home, but Schalke 04 scored 2 goals in 5 minutes to equalize.

As a result, Borussia Dortmund continues to lead the Bundesliga standings with 28 points.

Bayer Leverkusen earned 23 points, while Werder Bremen and Hamburg both had 22 points, but Hamburg dropped to fourth place in the league.

……

On the evening of November 5th, in the fourth round of the Europa League group stage, Borussia Dortmund hosted Celtic.

The moment the Spanish referee Carvalho blew the whistle to start the match, and when Wang Shuo led Reus and Kuba to charge towards Celtic's half of the field, no one knew what it meant.

Including television commentators.

He was also introducing the starting lineups of both teams, as well as their current group standings.

"For Borussia Dortmund, who have already won three consecutive group stage matches, they only need one more victory to advance as the group leader."

"This is a huge temptation for Klopp and his Dortmund."

"Because Dortmund is now starting to suffer from injuries."

"For the Celtics, who have only managed to get 1 point in the first three rounds, if they can't win this game, they will basically be out of the running for the knockout stage."

"So, the current situation of both teams..."

"Wait, we see Dortmund make a tackle in the attacking third."

"Under Wang Shuo's threat, Celtic's center-back Lowens actually made a mistake when passing the ball."

"Reus is very fast, successfully intercepted the ball, passed it forward, and then passed it behind him."

"Wang Shuo caught up, not offside, and took a shot from the penalty spot!"

Goal!

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"It's only been 10 seconds since the start!"

"I can't believe it!"

"In just 10 seconds, Dortmund broke through Celtic's goal."

"We were just saying that Celtic should be wary of Dortmund's early attack."

"But unexpectedly, the Celtics made a fatal mistake in less than a minute!"

"1 to 0!"

"Furthermore, we have preliminarily confirmed that the goal took only 10 seconds."

"If it is officially certified by UEFA after the match, it will be the fastest goal in the history of the Europa League, including the UEFA Cup!"

The entire Westfalenstadion erupted in chaos!

Wang Shuo, in particular, was the first to be affected.

Even after scoring, he still went to the corner flag with his teammates to celebrate.

Aside from the fact that it came in early and quickly, nobody thought there was anything special about this goal.

At most, Kuba would laugh and say, "We're going to use a blitzkrieg to completely confuse the British!"

But as they walked back to the stadium, they heard a deafening roar of cheers from the stands.

Even the stadium's public address system broadcast the DJ's excited shouts.

"We have just received feedback from UEFA that the data has been officially confirmed as 10.07 seconds!"

"Before tonight's match, the fastest goal in the history of the Europa League, including the former UEFA Cup and the European Cup Winners' Cup, occurred on February 26, 2009, when Galatasaray defeated Bordeaux 4-3 at home."

"In the second leg of the third round of the UEFA Cup, former Manchester United player David Bailion opened the scoring for Bordeaux just 11 seconds into the game."

"But now, this all-time record has been broken!"

"To all Borussia Dortmund fans, we have just witnessed the birth of a brand new historical record."

"This is the fastest goal ever scored in the history of the Europa League, including the UEFA Cup and the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup!"

"Remember this legendary number: 10.32 seconds!"

"Created by our Dortmund players!"

"Tell me, who is he?"

"Wang Shuo!"

"Say it again, who is he?"

"Wang Shuo!!"

"Speak louder, who is he?"

"Wang Shuo!"

During the final round, the more than 8 fans in the stadium roared with all their might.

Wang Shuo and his teammates were stunned.

"what's the situation?"

"A historic record, the fastest goal ever scored in the Europa League!"

Reus jumped up in excitement.

He never imagined that his steal and pass would set a historical record.

Countless fans at Westfalenstadion were also caught off guard.

Many fans who had just entered the stadium hadn't even found their seats yet.

They only realized they had scored when they heard the cheers from the entire stadium.

Then they were all stunned.

"What's going on? Why are they all so excited?"

"God, can anyone tell me what happened?"

"What? The fastest goal in history?! I must be crazy, I actually missed it!"

"It's incredible!"

"I simply can't believe it."

Countless fans were thrilled to witness history unfold.

However, many fans were heartbroken for missing out.

The same situation also occurred in faraway China.

This match was broadcast live in China, but due to the timing of the match, only fans who stayed up late could watch it.

Shortly after Wang Shuo scored, the news caused an uproar on major sports forums and news websites.

"How many seconds?"

"15.98 seconds!"

"Wotfa, how could Wang Shuo be so fast?"

"Absolutely amazing!"

“Who would have thought?”

"Even faster than Makaay's goal in the Champions League, right?"

"Haha, let those fans who thought Dortmund was a sure winner and didn't stay up to watch the game cry!"

"I told you, Wang Shuo's matches are full of surprises."

"It's absolutely unbelievable!"

Almost at the same time, [青青禾边草] posted a photo showing Wang Shuo and his teammates celebrating a goal on the sidelines.

"He didn't even know he had set a record until it was announced on the radio."

This immediately sparked another round of heated discussions among netizens.

"Indeed, these kinds of things are a matter of chance, just like how I was able to watch this game tonight."

"Wang Shuo never imagined he could set a record, and I never imagined Wang Shuo could set a record either. Therefore, I am just as good as Wang Shuo."

"Uh, upstairs, you're really shameless!"

"Haha, thank you for the compliment."

But just then, [Green Grass by the River] sent another photo.

It was Wang Shuo who rushed to the sidelines to celebrate once again.

"Another goal!"

"In the 7th minute, Wang Shuo scored another goal."

The entire forum exploded once again.

"Holy crap, it can't be this fast, can it?"

"The live stream is on! They really scored again!"

"Wang Shuo played like a madman today."

"The Celtics are probably going to collapse."

"Who can argue with that? We've been completely overrun!"

"That's it!"

"I've done the math, and I'm sure Wang Shuo is going to score a hat trick tonight!"

……

No one expected the match to turn out this way.

When Wang Shuo scored against the Celtics in the 10th second, everyone thought it was an accident.

The goal came rather suddenly.

Unexpectedly, just six minutes later, Kuba made a breakthrough on the right wing and crossed the ball from near the byline to the front of the goal, where Wang Shuo seized the opportunity and poked the ball into the net.

For him, seizing such a spot was as easy as drinking water.

Especially when he started moving, he was really composed when facing the tall and strong Scottish Premiership defender.

2 is better than 0!

At this moment, everyone felt that Dortmund had played a really good start.

But that's about it.

Even Celtics head coach Tony Mobley simply walked to the sidelines to signal his team to pay attention to their defense.

He believed that as long as they played it safe and paid attention to defense, they could hold on.

But the situation gradually spiraled out of control.

In the 19th minute, Wang Shuo assisted Reus to score a goal, making it 3-0!

At this moment, everyone, including Tony Mowbray, realized with surprise that danger was imminent.

But it's too late!
Just five minutes later, Kuba once again dribbled down the right flank and launched an attack down the flank, delivering a through ball. Wang Shuo broke the offside trap and broke into the penalty area. Facing the onrushing goalkeeper, he deftly chipped the ball into the Celtic goal once more.

4 is better than 0!

hat trick!

The entire Westfalenstadion stadium went absolutely wild!

Four goals in just 24 minutes?

Given the fervor of Dortmund fans, and the drumming, cheering, and singing that followed the goal...

No, Hornets players, take it easy, our process is slow, we can't keep up!
No one expected that this match would turn into a massacre!

However, after taking a 4-0 lead, Dortmund did slow down their offensive.

The Celtics then barely managed to regain their footing.

When Tony Mowbray looked at the score on the big screen, he felt like he wanted to die.

They've got a firm footing, but the goal has been breached four times. How the hell are they supposed to play this game?
The first half ended with a score of 4-0.

Wang Shuo was substituted by Klopp for the first time at halftime.

Because there's no need to continue.

We still have to play Werder Bremen away this weekend, another tough match!
But the players on the field must continue the game.

In the 67th minute, Sahin delivered a brilliant pass, and Reus scored the fifth goal of the match, completing his brace!

This young player's performance has been getting better and better this season.

After taking a 5-0 lead, Klopp made further substitutions.

By the 75th minute, they had already used up all their substitutions.

Even so, Dortmund still managed to score in the final moments of the match.

In stoppage time, Kuba scored the final goal for his team with an assist from Sven Bender, sealing the score at 6-0!

This is also the most lopsided scoreline in any official Europa League match so far this season.

Before this, the most lopsided scoreline was Benfica's 5-0 thrashing of Everton at home in Group I.

Yes, you read that right.

Who would have thought that Moyes' team would be slaughtered by Benfica in the Europa League?
During the post-match press conference, Borussia Dortmund's head coach Jürgen Klopp was so laughing that he almost fell backward.

He made no attempt to hide his satisfaction with the match.

Many people even felt that he simply couldn't sit still.

Klopp made no attempt to hide his satisfaction with Wang Shuo.

"In the locker room before the game, I told him, 'This is our home ground. Don't be a coward. We need to be like wild boars in the Black Forest, pushing forward with all our might.'"

At this point, Klopp couldn't help but burst into laughter, laughing so hard he bent over backwards.

"But you know, his performance in the game was even crazier than the wild boars I saw when I was a kid. He scored in 10 seconds and two in 7 minutes. He was like a heavy bulldozer."

Why was he substituted at halftime?

"Haha, it's simple. I told him, 'Wang, I'm starting to get a little scared of you. Three goals are enough. Save the rest for the weekend. This is our home ground, so don't be too ruthless with the opponent!'"

All the media reporters were amused by Klopp's rapid-fire remarks.

When you're really happy, you say whatever comes to mind, right?

But everyone can see that Klopp really likes Wang Shuo.

Regarding Wang Shuo's high-level performance for two consecutive seasons...

"No, no, no, I have to remind you, it's not two seasons, it's three seasons!"

Klopp gave a serious reminder.

"His performance was already outstanding in the season when I led Mainz to promotion to the Bundesliga."

If he continues to play like this, what will become of Wang Shuo in the future?
"I don't know, but I wish he could be this crazy every day. I want my team to keep winning. He's the one who can help me and the team achieve victory."

"As for the future, I can't say for sure, but I can say one thing for sure: Bayern Munich is definitely very, very, very envious right now!"

This last sentence made all the media reporters in the room burst into laughter again.

Almost every football journalist in Germany knows about Klopp's feud with Bayern Munich.

Even if some British journalists didn't know, they would understand after being explained to by their colleagues.

Who would have thought that Klopp, this seemingly rugged and unruly German man, would hold such a grudge?

Even on occasions like this, why drag Bayern Munich out and kick them while they're down?
……

After taking a shower and changing his clothes, Wang Shuo sat in the locker room for a while.

He first took out his phone to check the news.

This is a habit he gradually developed.

He wanted to see what the media, fans, and professionals thought about his game.

This helps him to understand himself more comprehensively.

Of course, Wang Shuo knows whether or not to adopt certain suggestions.

Bild, Kicker, Süddeutsche Zeitung, and other media outlets reported on the match immediately afterward and wrote commentaries.

Speaking of this, Wang Shuo truly admires those media reporters.

Previously, Wang Shuo had talked about this matter with a reporter from Ruhr News.

It is said that they can watch the game and write news at the same time.

After a match is over, they will publish a very detailed news report and match commentary.

Wang Shuo didn't know exactly how he did it.

This is their livelihood.

While browsing domestic forums, he saw many comments from fans, as well as photos taken by Shen Qinghe.

Shen Qinghe came to watch the game, which didn't surprise him.

Because Shen Qinghe sent him a congratulatory QQ message right after the match.

She's always been like this.

She sends one message for each game, and on ordinary days, she will never bother Wang Shuo unless he takes the initiative to contact her.

Although she was quiet, Wang Shuo had a feeling that she would always be there for him whenever he needed her.

These kinds of friends are quite rare.

Wang Shuo felt that if he were to assign a loyalty rating to his fans, Shen Qinghe would definitely be at the top of the list.

Teammates including Reus came out one after another after taking a shower.

Just as they were preparing to head to the training ground, press officer Joseph Schnecker came in.

"Your Majesty, take a look at this."

Joseph Schnecker smiled and handed him a freshly printed press release.

The above is a quote from head coach Klopp when he answered reporters' questions at the press conference just now.

"Holy crap, a wild boar from the Black Forest? Have you ever seen such a handsome wild boar?"

The teammates around him burst into laughter.

Wang Shuo finally understood why Joseph Schnecker had that "the more chaos the better" expression.

"I always thought that the Black Forest only produced bears like him."

Wang Shuo chuckled and cursed.

Everyone found it amusing.

Klopp is burly and strong, and does indeed resemble a bear somewhat.

"Oh, by the way, I just wanted to remind you that I met with UEFA officials at the press conference. They hope we can coordinate a time to arrange for a reporter from their official website to come to our club tomorrow for an exclusive interview with you."

"You want to do an exclusive interview with me?" Wang Shuo was somewhat surprised.

The teammates around him were even more surprised.

UEFA?
Wow, what a rare opportunity this is!

Everyone looked at Wang Shuo with envy.

"Don't be nervous, there won't be any traps or pitfalls, it's just a normal routine interview."

"The main thing is that today's goal broke a historical record, didn't it?"

After Joseph Schnecker's explanation, everyone suddenly understood.

Who said no?
This is not a Europa League record!

This season is the first season after the Europa League was restructured, and Wang Shuo has already broken the records of the UEFA Cup and the European Cup Winners' Cup that have stood for decades.

This undoubtedly aligns with UEFA's objectives.

Their goal is to break the old cup competition structure and establish a completely new cup competition with commercial value.

It's hard to say how things will develop in the future, but right now we definitely need to increase our efforts to promote it.

It's rare to have material and news like Wang Shuo, so we definitely have to seize the opportunity to hype it up.

"Don't worry, I'll cooperate with you. You should also inform your agent."

Wang Shuo understood what Joseph Schnecker meant.

He has had this experience several times before.

After signing sponsorship and endorsement deals, he must consider the commercial value of his partners before making any public appearance.

Moreover, this was an exclusive interview with UEFA.

In addition to videos, we will also take some photos and release press releases to all our partner media outlets.

These are all standard operating procedures.

But for Wang Shuo, this was his first time, so he naturally had to take it seriously.
