The God of Football Starts With Passive Skills

Chapter 529: Chapter 106: A Step Away! Poaching Wang Shuo! Wang Shuo, Do You Want to Become a Legend? Wang Shuo’s Goal Is Very Professional

And so, after entering the 30-meter area, Wang Shuo immediately slowed his pace and sent a square pass to Kuba’s feet.

After making the pass, Wang Shuo quickly cut into the right side of the penalty area.

Kuba passed it on to Götze.

Götze played a through ball into the path of Reus.

But Freiburg’s center-back, Toprak, tracked back in time. He went to ground with a sliding tackle, getting to the ball before Reus and knocking it toward the right side of the penalty area.

At that exact moment, Wang Shuo arrived at full speed.

Meeting the ball that came off Toprak’s tackle, Wang Shuo didn’t hesitate, striking it first-time with a furious shot.

The ball flew past the onrushing goalkeeper, Oliver Baumann, and nestled into the back of Freiburg’s net!

1-1!

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!"

"Dortmund has equalized!"

"He’s only been on the pitch for three minutes! Just three minutes, and Wang Shuo has already helped Dortmund score against Freiburg."

"It’s 1-1!"

On the sideline, an ecstatic Klopp burst out of the technical area, leaping into the air and wildly waving his arms.

"You see that, Zeliko? I told you! Just wait, I said! Wang Shuo gets on the pitch and scores. I wasn’t lying, was I?"

"Haha, that kid might not be good at other things, but when it comes to scoring, he’s a pro!"

Buvac and Krawietz were also incredibly excited.

They hadn’t expected Wang Shuo to actually score right after coming on.

’It’s unbelievable, isn’t it?’

’Just three minutes!’

Looking at Klopp’s smug expression, you’d think he’d gone out on the pitch and scored the goal himself.

’Show-off.’

On the Dortmund bench, Lewandowski was thrilled the moment he saw Wang Shuo score.

But that feeling quickly gave way to a hint of disappointment.

The head coach had given him a total of 70 minutes in this match.

He had tried everything, but he just couldn’t find a way past Freiburg’s defense.

But who would have thought that Wang Shuo would get on and score in just three minutes?

This left a bitter taste in Lewandowski’s mouth.

On one hand, he was happy for the team and for Wang Shuo, but on the other, he was disappointed in his own failure to score.

In fact, Peter Krawietz’s pre-match report had noted that Freiburg’s Bastians liked to dribble the ball forward and was prone to errors.

Simply put, he was terrible but couldn’t get enough of it.

Standing at 1.88 meters tall, he still liked to dribble, and his passing completion rate was a mere 71%.

For a defender, those were truly awful stats.

So far this season, while he hadn’t made any major blunders, he was constantly making minor mistakes.

Last season, on the other hand, he’d made one very serious error that led directly to a goal being conceded.

But he often operated close to the sideline, and Lewandowski hadn’t paid him much mind, figuring it was Kuba’s territory.

He never expected that as soon as Wang Shuo came on, he would immediately target Bastians.

...

Wang Shuo’s equalizer was a huge morale boost for Dortmund, who began to launch wave after wave of attacks.

But at this moment, Freiburg’s head coach, Dute, made a bold substitution.

He brought on striker Reisinger for midfielder Machiaji.

It was a clear declaration that he intended to go toe-to-toe with Dortmund, fighting to the death for three points at home.

Just three minutes later, Wang Shuo dropped back to the edge of the area to receive the ball before quickly switching it out to the open right flank.

Piszczek surged forward, and upon receiving the ball, he glanced into the penalty area and whipped in a diagonal cross directly to the far post.

Reus sprinted to the far post, leaped high, and buried the header.

2-1!

Dortmund had successfully taken the lead!

Then, in the 81st minute, Reus and Schmelzer combined on the left flank. Schmelzer sprinted to the byline and cut a low cross back in front of the goal.

Wang Shuo darted out from between the two center-backs and easily tapped the ball in.

3-1!

A brace!

And in the 86th minute, it was another combination down Dortmund’s left side. From the half-space, Reus played a through ball behind the defense. Wang Shuo made a quick diagonal run into the left side of the box. The moment he reached the ball, he took a touch toward the byline, rounded the onrushing goalkeeper Baumann, and squared it across the face of the goal.

Götze arrived at full speed and blasted the ball into the Freiburg net from point-blank range.

4-1!

"My God!"

"This is insane!"

"For the first 70 minutes, Dortmund had no real answer for Freiburg’s defense."

"But after Wang Shuo came on as a substitute, the Bumblebees’ attack was completely ignited!"

"You have to admit, Dortmund with Wang Shuo and Dortmund without him are two completely different teams!"

The live broadcast cameras cut to the sideline, showing a close-up of Wang Shuo and Götze embracing in celebration, a scene broadcast to fans all over the world.

"We have to say, Klopp’s substitution was a stroke of genius!"

"In the last 20 minutes of the match, the tables have completely turned. Dortmund has utterly dismantled Freiburg’s defensive line!"

"This is their 13th consecutive win!"

...

In Round 13, there were two other notable matches: Mainz’s 3-2 comeback victory away at Borussia Mönchengladbach.

And Bayern drew 1-1 away against Bayer Leverkusen.

After losing to Dortmund at home, Mainz went on to lose 0-1 away to Freiburg and 0-1 at home to Hannover 96. As a result, Dortmund now sits atop the Bundesliga table with 39 points.

With 13 consecutive wins, they had once again set the record for the best start in Bundesliga history!

Mainz was in second place with only 27 points, but they were already trailing Dortmund by a 12-point margin.

After this round of matches, almost everyone was certain that the race for this season’s Bundesliga title was all but over.
