The God of Football Starts With Passive Skills

Chapter 526: Chapter 105: Record Reaper! The Battle for Wang Shuo! The Best Start in History! Even God is Helping Dortmund

Even late in the match, after Wang Shuo was substituted off, Dortmund’s assault continued.

Hannover 96 capitalized on Dortmund’s substitutions, scoring twice in the 72nd and 78th minutes.

Bringing the score to 2-4!

But in the 81st minute, Lewandowski added another goal for the team, thanks to an assist from Kuba.

Just before the end of the match, Antonio Da Silva assisted Kuba, who put one in the net.

In the end, Dortmund crushed Hannover 96 6-2 in an away game, securing their 11th consecutive victory of the new season!

...

A week later, for the 12th round of the Bundesliga, Dortmund hosted Hamburg.

It was another fierce clash of titans.

The match was destined to be anything but simple, right from the very first minute. Götze played a chipped through ball, and as Wang Shuo surged into the box, he collided with Hamburg’s onrushing goalkeeper, Drobny.

Both sides played with ferocious intensity in this match.

They were especially relentless in their attempts to shut down Wang Shuo.

While this stifled Wang Shuo’s performance, on the other hand, he was also racking up Passive Value.

In the first 35 minutes alone, Wang Shuo had already earned 9 Passive Value points.

Can you believe it?

’Are we playing soccer, or is this a kicking contest?’

But things weren’t much better on Hamburg’s side.

During a challenge with Grosskreutz, midfielder Kakar was brought down hard and had to be substituted off for Lincon.

And just seven minutes after that substitution, Schmelzer delivered a precise, long diagonal pass from the left flank. It landed at the edge of Hamburg’s six-yard box, directly in line with the left post.

Sandwiched between the two center-backs, Mathijsen and Westman, Wang Shuo surged forward. He harnessed his momentum to leap high into the air and power a header at the goal from close range.

He smashed the ball from Schmelzer’s cross into Hamburg’s goal!

"My God!"

"Wang Shuo scores!"

"In the 42nd minute of the first half, he breaks the deadlock for Dortmund with a header!"

"What an incredible header!"

"From Wang Shuo!"

"He got so much air! We saw both Westman and Mathijsen jump, but Wang Shuo powered his way up between them, won the ball, and headed it into the net."

"A truly magnificent header!"

After landing, an ecstatic Wang Shuo ran straight toward the South Stand to celebrate.

And that goal, right before the end of the first half, opened the floodgates for Dortmund.

Just four minutes into the second half, Wang Shuo assisted a goal for Götze, widening the lead to 2-0!

Then, in the 70th minute, Piszczek delivered a brilliant pass.

Wang Shuo was in position in front of the goal to convert, extending the lead once more.

3-0!

Wang Shuo had scored a brace!

In the end, Dortmund claimed a dominant 3-0 home victory over Hamburg!

...

After the match, the team decided to celebrate their 3-0 home victory against Hamburg, and Wang Shuo offered to treat everyone to dinner, paying for it himself.

Meanwhile, in a luxury apartment building in south Knight’s Bridge, London, Chelsea’s owner, Abramovich, was meeting with his team of advisors to discuss how to handle the club’s current crisis.

The Blue Army was sick!

Although Ancelotti’s squad was currently at the top of the Premier League table, anyone with eyes could see that Chelsea was truly in trouble.

In Round 11, Chelsea lost 0-2 to Liverpool at Anfield Stadium.

Though they followed that with a 1-0 home victory over Fulham, they had just been thrashed 0-3 at home by Sunderland in Round 13.

What was Chelsea’s problem?

Ancelotti had already provided the answer after the Liverpool match.

Goals!

The current Blue Army squad was old. It needed an overhaul.

Drogba, about to turn 33, was constantly plagued by injuries, and Anelka would soon be 32.

The 30-year-old Benayoun, 30-year-old Malouda, 32-year-old Lampard...

Chelsea’s entire forward line was getting on in years; they just didn’t have the legs for it anymore.

Chelsea hadn’t lost by three goals at home since 1995.

So after this match, the Chelsea fans were furious.

And Abramovich had to respond.

Top of the table?

With a gap of only two points, they could be overtaken by Arsenal or Manchester United at any moment.

Even The Times declared that if Chelsea didn’t sign new players during the winter break, the defending champions had no hope!

Abramovich was willing to spend money.

But he wasn’t a fool who just threw money away.

For the midfield, Chelsea had their sights set on Bayern’s Schweinsteiger.

Xiao Zhu’s contract was set to expire in 2012, and with 2011 fast approaching, he and Bayern still hadn’t reached an agreement on an extension. Chelsea hoped to offer Schweinsteiger another option.

For right-back, they were looking at Barça’s Alves.

But the biggest headache was finding a forward.

"The whole market is a mess right now."

"Over at Manchester United, Ferguson has made it clear he won’t be signing anyone during the winter break, but Rooney is still kicking up a fuss about a pay raise. He’s been hit hard by that prostitution scandal, so we can’t rule out the possibility of a transfer."

"That lad’s a repeat offender!"

Frank Anesen remarked with a knowing smile.

For someone like Rooney, the only difference with that sort of thing was getting caught or not getting caught.

"Do you all know what Tottenham Hotspur’s asking price is for Gareth Bale?"

Gareth Bale, who had just been sensational in two Champions League group stage matches against Inter Milan, was having an outstanding season.

"How much?" Abramovich asked.

"Fifty million British Pounds."

"Has Tottenham gone mad?" CEO Ron Gourley blurted out.
