The God of Football Starts With Passive Skills

No matter where he was, he could hear the fans chanting in his ears: "Wang! Wang! Wang!"

Wang Shuo waved back at them, each time drawing even louder cheers from the crowd.

He, however, was busy receiving a string of notifications from the Ball God System.

"Post-match summary: 5 Passive Value points acquired."

"Congratulations! In the just-concluded Bundesliga match, you have broken the record for the fastest hat-trick in Bundesliga history. Reward: 50 Passive Value points. Please collect..."

’I’ve hit the jackpot!’

Wang Shuo was absolutely thrilled!

’Holy shit, this is insane!’

Five goals in nine minutes, breaking three historical records!

"Yeah!"

Wang Shuo was so excited he jumped up on the spot and pumped his fists repeatedly at the fans.

Everyone thought he was just excited about the match he’d just played.

The fans in the stadium were especially ecstatic, roaring along with Wang Shuo.

Everyone except Klopp.

He was usually so passionate, and he had been just as ecstatic a moment ago. Why did he seem so subdued now?

"Boss, what’s wrong? You’re so quiet. This isn’t like you at all."

After thanking the fans on the pitch, Wang Shuo returned to the home team’s technical area and asked Klopp curiously.

The moment Wang Shuo asked, Buvac, Krawietz, and the others burst out laughing.

"What are you all laughing at?" Klopp snapped, turning and storming off in a huff.

"What’s going on?" Wang Shuo and the others were completely bewildered.

"He pulled his arm from pumping his fists too hard and too often in the second half. Then, when he rushed out to celebrate with you and fell on the ground, he injured his shoulder..."

Buvac couldn’t hold it in any longer and roared with laughter as he finished.

All the surrounding players looked dumbfounded for a moment, then also broke into loud laughter.

Is that even possible?

What a character!

Truly one of the Bundesliga’s most unique personalities!

It seems being too passionate isn’t always a good thing!

...

"Miracle! Dortmund’s Godlike Striker Scores Five in 9 Minutes, Shattering Bundesliga Records!"

This was the headline from the German Bild, published immediately after the match.

"5 Goals in 9 Minutes, Klopp Left Completely Stunned!"

That was the post-match commentary from Ruhr News.

"Wang Shuo Comes Off the Bench to Score 5 in 9 Minutes, Hannover 96 Defeated at Iduna!"

This was the post-match review from Kicker Magazine.

Then there were Süddeutsche Zeitung, Frankfurt Allgemeine Zeitung...

In the ten minutes following Dortmund’s 5-1 comeback victory over Hannover 96, all of Germany’s major media outlets rushed to upload their match reports.

The news spread across all of Germany in an incredibly short time.

Everyone was left speechless.

No one could believe that Wang Shuo, coming on as a substitute in the second half, could score five consecutive goals.

And the most outrageous part was, he did it in just nine minutes.

Nine minutes!

All of Germany erupted in an instant!

Everyone found this achievement unbelievable.

However, the official websites of the German Football Association and the German Professional Football League both published reports immediately, confirming the news and validating Wang Shuo’s goal-scoring record.

Both authoritative bodies used words like "incredible" and "unbelievable" to describe this Achievement.

Wang Shuo had broken three historical records in one go, earning everyone’s awe and even adoration.

At the post-match press conference, Hannover 96’s head coach, Slomka, stated that after taking a one-goal lead, his team became complacent, overly relaxed, and underestimated their opponent.

"After Wang Shuo scored the first goal, our players went from underestimating him and being lax to a state of panic and disarray."

Slomka said he would take responsibility for the disastrous defeat.

"As the team’s head coach, I failed to adjust our tactics in time to steady the team.

"Wang Shuo’s goals just came too fast!"

"One after another, leaving us no time to react!"

The news quickly spread from Germany, sweeping through the European football scene before rapidly disseminating across the entire world.

It became a trending topic on the internet almost instantly.

Wang Shuo’s most recent tweet was from before the match. Just after getting off the team bus and before entering the player tunnel, he had retweeted the Bundesliga’s official match preview.

When he retweeted it, he added a comment: "I suggest the camera crew avoid the bench today, because I just want to quietly enjoy a great match!"

What Wang Shuo meant by this tweet was that he probably wouldn’t be coming on as a substitute.

At the time, many of Wang Shuo’s fans had been consoling him in the comments, saying they would watch the match even if he didn’t play.

However, some fans of Ronaldo and Messi also posted comments mocking him.

For example, one fan claiming to be a Messi supporter left a message: "You better wake up! Messi is already catching up."

"43 to 36, you’re finished!"

"You’d better just warm the bench for good. This season’s European Golden Boot Award will definitely belong to our Messi!"

Wang Shuo’s fans, of course, couldn’t tolerate this and clapped back immediately.

The comments section became a heated battleground.

But generally, Wang Shuo’s fans were quite worried.

"You need to get more playing time. I know the focus is on the Champions League, but you have to keep up in the league too. Messi’s been on a scoring spree lately, we’re in danger!"
