The God of Football Starts With Passive Skills

This fan’s comment also received the most likes.

Ronaldo’s fans were the most subdued, as he had scored 31 goals so far.

This was mainly because he had recently suffered two consecutive injuries, missed three matches, and wasn’t in top form.

But who could have expected Wang Shuo to come on as a substitute in the second half and pull off a five-goal haul in one go?

After the match ended and the news spread, the comments under Wang Shuo’s tweet absolutely exploded.

Wang Shuo’s fans launched a frenzied counterattack, tagging the Messi fans who had previously left mocking comments.

"Come on, try and catch up! We’re at 48 goals now!"

"A five-goal haul, mind you! And as a substitute! The only player in the history of the Five Major European Leagues to score five goals after coming off the bench. Can your Messi do that?"

"So what if he was on the bench? He can sit on the bench and still crush your precious Messi!"

"If you’ve got the guts, then hurry up and catch us!"

Wang Shuo’s fans had been absolutely flamed before the match.

Especially during the period before Wang Shuo was subbed in, when Dortmund was attacking relentlessly to no avail and Hannover 96 actually scored instead.

Many of Messi’s and Ronaldo’s fans had flooded the comments, saying Dortmund’s undefeated streak was about to be broken.

They had all swarmed the comments section, spamming an untold number of sarcastic and mocking remarks.

But now, things had changed. From the moment Wang Shuo was subbed in and scored until he completed his five-goal haul, most fans were completely engrossed in the match, even as a few started to join the online fray.

It wasn’t until after the match that the great counterattack began. Wang Shuo’s fans launched a furious comeback, leaving Messi’s and Ronaldo’s fans speechless.

In the face of a five-goal haul, no excuse or argument could stand!

Wang Shuo’s fans went completely wild!

Their idol’s five goals were like atomic bombs in their hands.

One by one, they took these atomic bombs and dropped them in Ronaldo’s and Messi’s Twitter comments, leaving their fans stunned and disoriented.

Moreover, the narrative continued to snowball, kicking up a firestorm across the internet.

Even the New York Times in the United States took notice of the event and reported on it in detail.

The authoritative American media outlet specifically interviewed the legendary German forward, Klinsmann.

In his interview with the media, Klinsmann said, "I saw Wang Shuo’s tweet. He was actually just expressing some simple thoughts."

"From this tweet, we can gather that he likely knew in advance he would be a substitute, and that if the match went smoothly, he wouldn’t play at all. So he was wishing his teammates well, hoping they could deliver an exciting match for the home fans."

Klinsmann also quoted the most-liked comment under Wang Shuo’s tweet.

"I find this fan’s comment very interesting. He said: You did indeed quietly enjoy the match from the sidelines for 60 minutes, but then you realized it wasn’t exciting enough, so you decided to take the field yourself and direct the most exciting nine minutes in history!"

But other media outlets offered a different interpretation.

They suggested that Wang Shuo told the cameraman not to film him because he felt the match would be boring if he didn’t play.

"Perhaps he had long predicted that he would become an instant legend the moment he was subbed in!"

Furthermore, many of Messi’s and Ronaldo’s fans had their defenses shattered, claiming that Wang Shuo’s tweet was a pre-match tactical deception, clearly intended to play mind games with Messi and Ronaldo.

The proof?

Dortmund’s match was at noon.

As a result, after Wang Shuo’s explosive performance, Twitter blew up and public opinion erupted.

In the following 30th round of La Liga, Messi represented Barça in an away match against Villarreal. Although his team won 1-0, Messi made no contribution.

And Ronaldo?

Well, Ronaldo was still recovering from a muscle problem and missed the match, while Real Madrid lost 0-1 at home to Sporting Gijon.

If this wasn’t a psychological tactic, what was?

"So vicious! That shameless Wang Shuo!"

...

"Your Twitter’s blowing up again!"

Wang Shuo was completely baffled when he received Shen Qinghe’s call.

’What do you mean, blowing up *again*?’

’My Twitter is always popular, okay?’

At that moment, it didn’t really register with him.

Just as he finished dinner with his teammates and was about to leave the restaurant, he was unexpectedly swarmed by a horde of reporters blocking the entrance.

Wang Shuo himself was startled, to say nothing of his teammates like Subotic.

’This is a huge scene!’

When the questions actually started, Wang Shuo was surprised to find that anything related to the match was just glossed over. It seemed like they weren’t particularly interested in it; all the praise had already been given, and the rest was waiting for tomorrow morning’s headlines.

Instead, they were far more interested in the tweet Wang Shuo had posted before the match.

"What was your motive for posting the tweet that has the whole world in a frenzy?"

Facing the dense cluster of microphones in front of him and the phalanx of cameras behind, Wang Shuo was a bit surprised.

"You mean that tweet? I really just wrote it casually," Wang Shuo said nonchalantly.

Then, he added, "Just like all the other tweets I’ve posted before."

The reporters began to murmur among themselves again.

What was that supposed to mean?

Casually posting a tweet could ignite a global internet debate?

That was even more impressive than what they, the media professionals, could do!

Behind Wang Shuo, the Dortmund players practically wanted to prostrate themselves in worship, get on their knees, and sing "Conquer."

"Why did I forget to post a tweet before the match?" Foyelner lamented, full of regret.

He had come on as a substitute in this match, too.
