Football: He suffered a broken leg at the start of the game, but partnered with Haaland!

The press conference hall was illuminated by flashing lights, turning it into daylight.

The blond male reporter maintained his forward-leaning, aggressive stance, determined not to give up until he received a satisfactory answer.

The other German media colleagues in the audience also pricked up their ears, ready to glean some words from Sun Yang's answers that they could use to make a big deal out of.

Sun Yang sat at the front of the stage and reached for the microphone on the table. He extended his finger and slowly flicked the microphone grille twice.

Two muffled thuds echoed throughout the venue through the loudspeakers, forcefully silencing the chaotic whispers that filled the room.

Sun Yang leaned back in his chair, his gaze sweeping over the Kicker reporter.

"First, to answer your last question. Sir, you think I'm putting on a show? Then you really know nothing about Borussia Dortmund's football culture."

Sun Yang's tone was steady, yet extremely penetrating.

"Why did we go to the empty South Stand to say goodbye? Because that's the soul of Dortmund. The South Stand in Westfalen is more than just a concrete staircase; it's the home of the most fervent yellow and black die-hards in all of Europe."

"These are extraordinary times. 25,000 fans of the South Korean Championship can only watch our game from their TVs at home. But they are also part of the team. When we go there to applaud, we are sending a message to all the fans who cannot be there that the team stands with them. We look forward to the end of these difficulties and to being able to celebrate victories with them again in a packed stadium."

"You call this a show?" Sun Yang sneered. "That's our promise to the fans, our respect for the team's heritage. If you don't even have this basic empathy, I suggest you change your profession."

Several reporters from local Dortmund media outlets in the audience clenched their fists and nodded vigorously.

The blond reporter was rendered speechless, his face flushing red and then pale. He could only stammeringly retort, "What about the pendulum dribble? You risked your career just to humiliate Schalke?"

Sun Yang raised an eyebrow.

"Regarding whether my knee can hold out until the next match, I think the Dortmund medical team is more qualified to answer that than you. You just need to know that I feel great right now and I can run 10 kilometers with weights tomorrow."

Sun Yang shifted to a more comfortable sitting position and continued speaking.

"As for that pendulum dribble, yes, I learned it from watching videos of Ronaldo, the alien."

These words immediately caused an uproar. Did he learn this from watching videos? He dared to use it twice in a row inside the penalty area during a Bundesliga derby?

Sun Yang ignored their astonishment and continued speaking.

"Football is an art, and classics should not be forgotten. On what day and on what field was Ronaldo's pendulum dribble last publicly displayed?"

The entire stadium fell silent. Several veteran football reporters quickly searched their minds for information.

Sun Yang didn't give them time to think and gave them the answer directly.

"It was the Round of 16 of the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany. Brazil vs. Ghana. In that match, Ronaldo received a through ball from his teammate and faced the goalkeeper one-on-one. He used his signature pendulum dribble to tap the ball into the empty net."

Sun Yang tapped the table heavily with his finger.

"And that match was held in this stadium, in Westphalia."

"Fourteen years have passed, and many people thought that move was a thing of the past. Today, I just happened to be in good form, and I recreated that skill on the same pitch. I just don't want truly beautiful football skills to disappear into history."

Sun Yang stared at the reporter who was completely speechless.

"If you think this is an insult to the opponent, it only proves one thing. Schalke's defense is too poor; they can't even stop this old trick that's been lost for so long. That's all, next question."

This press conference turned into a one-sided personal speech by Sun Yang. He skillfully combined offense and defense, not only thoroughly humiliating his opponent but also winning over the public with his highly emotional speech.

The following day, all the sports newspapers in Germany featured headlines about Sun Yang paying tribute to Ronaldo and expressing gratitude to the South Stand. Borussia Dortmund fans even posted online in support of Sun Yang.

The 26th round of the Bundesliga has concluded. The situation on the standings remains tense.

Bayern Munich secured a comfortable away victory against Union Berlin, maintaining their top spot in the league standings with 58 points.

Borussia Dortmund secured an epic 6-0 derby victory, bringing their points total to 55 and placing them close behind. The three-point difference, equivalent to just one game, has completely escalated the suspense in the Bundesliga title race.

Meanwhile, on the top scorers list, Polish striker Robert Lewandowski remains in red-hot form, scoring a penalty in this round, bringing his season total to an astonishing 25 goals.

After Haaland's hat-trick in the derby, his total goal tally climbed to 18. While the gap remains, the Norwegian's momentum is posing a real threat to Munich.

A week later.

The entire Borussia Dortmund team boarded the bus bound for Lower Saxony to face Bundesliga powerhouse Wolfsburg away from home.

The Volkswagen Arena remained closed, with huge sponsor banners hanging in the stands. There were no cheers from fans, only the players' cries for the ball echoing in the empty stadium.

Wolfsburg coach Glasner did his homework before the match. He fielded a conservative 4-2-3-1 formation and packed the midfield with players. The two defensive midfielders, Schlager and Arnold, received only one order: to mark Sun Yang closely.

They attempted to use close marking to cut off the connection between Sun Yang and Dortmund's forwards.

In the first ten minutes of the match, Wolfsburg's tactics did have some effect. Whenever Sun Yang received the ball, he would be double-teamed by two defenders in green jerseys.

However, they underestimated Sun Yang's current passing vision.

Fourteenth minute of the match.

Sun Yang dropped back to receive the ball near the center circle. Schlager immediately slid in from behind and attempted a sliding tackle, trying to intimidate him.

Without even turning his head, Sun Yang gently flicked the ball with the tip of his right foot. The ball just cleared Schlager's defensive area. Immediately afterwards, Sun Yang jumped to avoid the sliding tackle, and after landing, quickly followed up with his left foot.

At this moment, Arnold had already moved into position to cover, blocking Sun Yang's forward passing lane.

Sun Yang kept his eyes on the left-back Guerrero and made a feint as if he was about to launch a long pass. Arnold immediately shifted his weight to the right.

It's this half-beat gap.

Sun Yang pointed with his left foot, then subtly brushed the ball under his right foot with the inside of his foot. His "point and shoot" talent was activated!

Instead of flying to the left wing, the ball flew like a low-flying missile, passing between Arnold's legs and heading straight for the junction between Wolfsburg's two center-backs!

That pass was incredibly cunning, extremely fast and with a strong lead time.

Haaland, like a beast smelling blood, suddenly accelerated forward. He used his terrifying explosiveness to outmaneuver Wolfsburg center-back Brooks and, before the goalkeeper could rush out, gently flicked the ball with the outside of his right foot.

The ball flew past goalkeeper Castel's fingers, bounced twice on the grass, and rolled into the empty net.

One to zero!
