It’s in October, during the league break, and you don’t have any national team duties,\" Klopp said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of which, they all found it rather strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Mainz’s top scorer and the starting striker for the team currently leading the Bundesliga—even if only temporarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet, Wang Shuo hadn’t received a single call-up from the national team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If China were a football powerhouse like Brazil, it would be somewhat understandable; after all, they’d have a surplus of talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what was the reality?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, as Mainz’s head coach, Klopp was actually quite happy to see this situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant Wang Shuo could devote himself entirely to Mainz’s matches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t you worry. When the time comes, Christian Heidel will go with you, along with your agent, Thomas Essien.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Wang Shuo finally felt a little relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, right, shouldn’t the club give me some media training beforehand? Otherwise, how will I know how to answer the questions?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Klopp, Buvac, and Kramny all looked at each other, then burst out laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The club’s press officer is part-time and doesn’t know anything. How could he train you?\" Kramny himself chuckled after saying it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This gave Wang Shuo a fresh new appreciation for just how broke Mainz was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry, they’ll definitely prep you beforehand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buvac walked over, gave Wang Shuo a suggestive smile, and said, \"Let me tell you, the host of the show you’re going on is very famous in Germany. And very beautiful. Her name is Jessica Castrorop.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Shuo shook his head. He didn’t recognize the name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She’s the one who got hit in the head by a ball during the UI Cup match between Dortmund and Belgium’s Genk in July 2004. You know, the super cute one? She also made frequent appearances during the World Cup.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more Buvac spoke, the more animated he became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Klopp was clearly not a big fan of hers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kramny, who was standing nearby, chimed in with a zinger: \"She’s 34 years old.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Shuo’s face instantly clouded over, and he stared at Buvac in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I’m only 18!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buvac, thinking he was being very suave, ran a hand through his hair and said without batting an eye, \"I’m just saying, she’s very pretty, and that’s a fine age, too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Bro, are you asking me to go to bed with five gold bricks?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Can I even lift them?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the looks on their faces, Klopp and Kramny both burst out laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Wang Shuo had to do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Klopp understood Wang Shuo’s personality, but professional football today is inextricably linked with the media.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are some things you don’t encounter until you reach a certain level, but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, when had Premiere Television ever given Mainz a second glance?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Never mind when they were in the lower half of the table; even when they, as a newly-promoted team, reached their peak at third in the league, the network hadn’t extended an olive branch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, after several rounds at the top of the table and with the emergence of Wang Shuo, they came knocking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was one thing that could easily convince Wang Shuo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that was Luca Tony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When Luca Tony joined Bayern from Italy, do you have any idea how many women in the German media professed their love for him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Shuo shook his head, completely baffled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To him, professing one’s love ought to be a serious affair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me tell you, female hosts from practically every channel on German Television publicly professed their love for him on their shows.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The female host of the second-largest pay-TV channel, Isabella Müller, said on her own show that a man like Tony could melt any woman’s heart. Including my own.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jessica Castrorop even went so far as to learn Italian just for the chance to interview Luca Tony.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What were they after?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Shuo was no fool. Listening to Kramny, he began to have a vague idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They wanted to get the first interview with Luca Tony!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This held immense appeal not only for them personally, but also for the television networks they represented.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Shuo was utterly astounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back home, he had often seen European football stars changing women as frequently as they changed clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it now seemed he had still underestimated the social status of European football stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those female TV anchors, those starlets from the entertainment world—none of them could even compare to the football stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, I’ll say it again: outstanding men like us have to learn to protect ourselves when we’re out and about.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment those words left Kramny’s mouth, Klopp and Buvac almost gagged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The nerve of this guy!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Wang Shuo nodded solemnly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took it to heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, for him, the most important thing right now was still figuring out how to achieve a Breakthrough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The tactical adjustments from these Bundesliga coaches are just too fast and too targeted!’\u003C\u002Fp>",834,"2026-05-30T11:12:32.829Z","2026-06-01T04:31:05.348Z",1,"novelbin.me","41531413dddab81ab09deaac9c5296fbb6eabcf8c4e1a1a5e075e1ac4f732ccb","the-god-of-football-starts-with-passive-skills-chapter-108","the-god-of-football-starts-with-passive-skills-chapter-5",400,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-god-of-football-starts-with-passive-skills-cover.jpg"]
