The God of Football Starts With Passive Skills

Who ever heard of passing the ball through your own legs?

Wang Shuo just did!

And he did it with incredible imagination.

Lewandowski, following up at the far post, tapped it in.

Goal!

1-0!

The entire Westfalen Stadium erupted in an instant!

"My God, did you see that brilliant backheel pass from Wang Shuo?"

"It was like he was performing a magic trick! Squeezed between two central defenders in such a tight space, he somehow still found a way to get the pass out."

"It’s simply unbelievable!"

"Before, every time Dortmund attacked, their play in the final third was clumsy and disjointed. They could never create a clear-cut scoring opportunity."

"But as soon as Wang Shuo came on, the play immediately became smooth and fluid, a seamless flow."

"That’s the impact of a core player!"

Then, in the 78th minute, a long ball from Subotic in the backfield flew directly behind Freiburg’s defensive line.

Wang Shuo started his run from near the halfway line, successfully beating the offside trap. But Oliver Bart was on him the entire way, preventing him from gaining a clear speed advantage.

However, after charging into the 30-meter zone, Wang Shuo brought the ball down first. He then stopped abruptly, shielding the ball with his back to the defender.

This made Bart think Wang Shuo was going to shield the ball and then pass it off.

But just as Bart let his guard down, Wang Shuo suddenly pushed the ball forward and exploded with a burst of speed. He left Bart in the dust, strode into the right side of the penalty area, and coolly slotted the ball past the goalkeeper.

2-0!

"Another goal!"

"A goal from Wang Shuo!"

"A beautiful play to beat the offside trap! Look at Wang Shuo’s speed. Oliver Bart simply couldn’t stop him."

When the TV broadcast cut to the home team’s coaching area, you could see Klopp. He had been watching the pitch nervously, thinking the counter-attack had fizzled out.

But in the next moment, Wang Shuo burst into the box and scored. Klopp’s jaw dropped in excitement, and he began wildly pumping his fists, completely lost in the moment.

He had just recently pulled a muscle in his arm, yet here he was, pumping his fist again.

In the 83rd minute, it was another quick counter-attack from Dortmund after winning the ball in midfield.

Schmelzer carried the ball forward and made a horizontal pass to an unmarked Wang Shuo in the center.

At this point, Wang Shuo could have easily taken the shot himself.

But he held onto the ball, drew the defenders’ attention, and then passed it to the right, just outside the penalty area.

Piszczek made a high-speed overlapping run, dribbled into the box from the right, and sent a cross into the middle.

Grosskreutz followed up quickly, tapping the ball into Freiburg’s goal once more.

3-0!

But the most spectacular moment of the entire match occurred in the 85th minute.

Dortmund, who were on a roll, launched another attack.

Gundogan once again sent a long diagonal pass from the left.

And again it was Schmelzer making a high-speed run. He caught up to Gundogan’s pass after it bounced and immediately chipped it into the penalty area.

At the near post, Toprak got to it first and grazed it with his head, but he couldn’t clear it away.

Wang Shuo dashed forward, getting ahead of Oliver Bart. He used the inside of his right foot to control the ball to his left, perfectly evading Bart, and then quickly unleashed a powerful shot with his left foot.

A touch with the right, a shot with the left.

The two actions were perfectly seamless and fluid, giving the defenders no chance to stop him.

The ball rocketed into the left side of Freiburg’s goal.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!"

"Impossible!"

"That’s absolutely impossible!"

"What a beautiful shot from Wang Shuo!"

"My God, he’s scored a brace!"

"And for his 50th league goal of the season to be so spectacular... it’s like a work of art!"

"Watching Wang Shuo play right now is truly a pleasure!"

Amidst the thunderous cheers of the stadium, Wang Shuo sprinted off the pitch and ran to the South Stand to celebrate.

Behind him, the Freiburg defenders looked like defeated roosters, utterly dejected.

...

After the match against Freiburg, Wang Shuo immediately entered the Ball God System to check his rewards.

’The first player in the history of the Five Major European Leagues to break the 50-goal mark in a single season!’

And yet, this by-the-book system hadn’t given him any reward.

He only received the post-match summary.

The Passive Value on his Personal Attribute Panel was still 174 points.

Of that, 150 Passive Value points were the reward he received for scoring his 15th goal in the Champions League.

This also proved that after breaking Gerd Müller’s personal goal-scoring record and receiving the reward for it, no matter how many more goals he scored in the league, it would only be a personal honor. He wouldn’t get any more rewards from the system for it.

’One reward per Achievement!’

There was something else that surprised Wang Shuo.

Dortmund had clearly already clinched the title ahead of schedule, but the system had yet to issue the reward for the Bundesliga championship.

After the Freiburg match, Wang Shuo specifically checked again, but there was still nothing.

’Something feels off.’

’Could it be because of Dortmund’s undefeated streak?’

After the game against Freiburg, Dortmund’s record stood at 26 wins and 4 draws in 30 matches.

They were also the only team in the European Football Scene to remain undefeated!

And they were undefeated on all fronts!

That’s right, including the Champions League and the DFB-Pokal, Dortmund hadn’t lost a single match this season!

That was the most remarkable thing of all!

So, Wang Shuo wondered, ’Could it be related to that?’

However, although the system hadn’t given him a reward, the Dortmund fans had.

They rewarded Wang Shuo right there in the stadium with their frenzied cheers and applause, with the sound of over 80,000 people chanting his name in unison.
