In fact, I’m pinning all the team’s hopes for scoring goals and winning games right on you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Klopp looked at Wang Shuo, his expression grave. \"So, Wang, you have to listen to me. Do not get injured, understand?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t you worry. I’m going to have them tailor a training regimen and a physical conditioning program just for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Wang Shuo agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dortmund’s new season wouldn’t begin with the Bundesliga or the DFB-Pokal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, it would start with the UEFA Europa League qualifying rounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Starting with the new season, UEFA had reformed the old UEFA Cup, rebranding it as the UEFA Europa League.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the sixth-place finisher in the Bundesliga and a replacement entry into the UEFA Europa League, Dortmund had to play in the third qualifying round.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The draw had not yet taken place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was also another rather important match on the calendar. In late August, Dortmund had invited Real Madrid to Westfalen Stadium for a friendly to commemorate the club’s centennial celebration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a friendly match meant to please the fans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dortmund had paid a fee to invite Real Madrid for the match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Real Madrid went on a signing spree, bringing in stars like Kaka, Ronaldo, Benzema, and Harvey Alonso, their overall strength had skyrocketed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dortmund basically stood little chance of winning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But at the very least, they can’t afford an embarrassing loss at home, can they?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was for the club’s hundredth birthday celebration, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the pressure on Dortmund was quite high at the start of the new season.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for what kind of tactics Klopp planned to use, Wang Shuo wasn’t entirely sure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing his extra training for the morning, Wang Shuo showered, changed his clothes, and headed out. He then saw a BMW parked in the shade of a tree by the road to the training ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaning against the BMW was a tall, blonde beauty. She wore a pair of tight jeans that perfectly accentuated her impossibly long legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she was wearing sunglasses, her aura was undeniable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Wang Shuo saw those long legs, he immediately thought of Lina Gerk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about your phone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Wang Shuo walk out, Lina Gerk took off her sunglasses and came forward to meet him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Shuo pulled his phone from his pocket. It was on silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know, this iPhone has a one-touch mute switch. When I’m training, I just...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice trailed off as even he felt the excuse was flimsy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What brings you here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I had something to do nearby, and I heard you moved into a new house, so I came to see if you needed any help.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So you already went there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I did. Thomas gave me the address, but the door was locked, so I figured you were here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Shuo just said, \"Oh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on, get in. Let’s go home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Let’s... go home...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words sounded a bit strange to Wang Shuo, but he got in the passenger seat anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, you’re learning to drive?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah. They gave me two cars, but I don’t know how to drive yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What kind of cars?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A Cayenne and a Panamera.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Panamera is gorgeous. Let me borrow it for a while.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure. I’ll give them a call.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I heard that sponsored cars can only be used by family members, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she said this, Lina Gerk snuck a glance at Wang Shuo. When she saw him looking a bit flustered, she smiled to herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Never mind. I’ll just stick to my BMW.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All Wang Shuo could do was chuckle awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lina Gerk’s career was still mainly focused in Austria; she was just starting to build it up in Germany.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had debuted after appearing on a model search show hosted by Heidi Krumm, so she was signed to Krumm’s agency, with Heidi Krumm’s own father acting as her agent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The drive was just over four kilometers, so they arrived quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Shuo was renting a modest, two-story house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was quite spacious for a young couple, with enough room for a child at most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After stepping inside, Lina Gerk seemed quite satisfied with the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only issue was the lack of furniture, which made it feel cold and empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lina Gerk wandered around for a bit before returning to the downstairs living room.\u003C\u002Fp>",1010,"2026-05-30T11:12:32.829Z","2026-06-01T04:31:05.348Z",1,"novelbin.me","bf5e83a0489f58d4933ae42768a2ccceb0cd301227648337f9fe6c8760021623","the-god-of-football-starts-with-passive-skills-chapter-246","the-god-of-football-starts-with-passive-skills-chapter-244",400,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-god-of-football-starts-with-passive-skills-cover.jpg"]
