He took a touch with the inside of his right foot, spinning and accelerating in one fluid motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had just burst forward when he chopped the ball with his right foot, dodging a tackle from the defender in front of him, then immediately chopped it back with his left, evading another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A beautiful croqueta!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Shuo’s movements were incredibly fast. He burst into the box with the ball and, one-on-one with the goalkeeper, calmly fired a shot with his right foot, sending it into the back of the Lech Poznan net once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>2-0!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the goal, Wang Shuo once again ran off the pitch in an excited celebration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, back outside the Lech Poznan box, Lewandowski stared in utter shock at Wang Shuo’s retreating figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If the first goal was a poacher’s finish in front of the net, I could do that too under the same circumstances,’ Lewandowski thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this second goal was something Lewandowski knew he couldn’t replicate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That first touch with his right foot to escape his marker, flowing seamlessly into a smooth croqueta.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had allowed Wang Shuo to bypass three defenders in a single move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the key was Wang Shuo’s speed. It was just too fast!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lewandowski knew the abilities of his Lech Poznan teammates perfectly well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he never imagined Wang Shuo would be *this* good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He went past them as easily as crossing a quiet street in Poznan early in the morning!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The match ended with a final score of 3-0.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the second half, Kuba added another goal for Dortmund.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Polish international was especially lively playing against a team from his home country.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Kuba’s goal came from an assist by Wang Shuo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lewandowski was filled with nothing but admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wang, that was an amazing performance!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the match ended, Lewandowski was the first one to run over to Wang Shuo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was already taking off his jersey as he ran, ready to swap with Wang Shuo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if he was afraid someone else would get to him first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Keep up the hard work. You can do it too,\" Wang Shuo said with an encouraging smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can’t. My movements aren’t that quick, and my physique isn’t anything special. I’m short, skinny, and don’t have much strength. The only thing I have is decent speed, but even that is nothing compared to yours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he said this, Lewandowski’s expression darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, Wang Shuo’s brace had left a significant impression on the young Pole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, it had shown him the gap between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he was two years older than Wang Shuo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know, the one thing I heard most growing up was that someone from Poland could never make it big.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Shuo paused. The first thing that came to his mind was history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn’t dwell on the topic. Instead, he smiled, clapped Lewandowski on the shoulder, and said encouragingly, \"That’s your challenge!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Challenge?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly. If you were born with the strongest body, the fastest speed, and the best skills, would you still have any motivation to improve?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lewandowski didn’t answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your country, Poland, has at least made it to the World Cup, even reached the semi-finals. But my home country has never even played in the World Cup finals. And you’re in economically developed Europe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Shuo pointed to himself. \"And look at me. I’m 1.8 meters tall, a little shorter than you. I’m even weaker than you in physical challenges, and I don’t have much strength either. To this day, the favorite tactic of Bundesliga defenders marking me is to just overpower me physically.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’For Lewandowski to call himself short and skinny... that was a bit of a humblebrag.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The guy’s athletic genes were clearly top-notch.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’His physique might not be considered imposing among Western Europeans, but compared to me, he was definitely the stronger one.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And when it comes to football, I hadn’t even seen a real soccer ball before I was ten...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Shuo left it at that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I’m trying to tell him, don’t you dare play the victim in front of me.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Because you have no right!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lewandowski was truly stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially when he remembered the stories about how Wang Shuo had come to Germany from China and failed trials with eighteen different teams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Anyone else would have broken down long ago.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, I see it as a challenge,\" Wang Shuo continued. \"It drives me to keep pushing forward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m going to prove it to everyone!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Prove what?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Shuo didn’t elaborate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lewandowski could feel his determination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Keep at it. I hope we’ll have the chance to face each other on the pitch again!\" Wang Shuo extended his hand once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lewandowski reached out with both hands and shook Wang Shuo’s hand solemnly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for telling me all this, Wang. I’m going to the Premier League next season. We’ll definitely see each other again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Ever since his father passed away, no one had ever given him advice like this.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Not even his agent.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So for all these years, he had worked hard at his game, but deep down, he always felt lost.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He played for the sake of playing, and besides football, he had no idea what else to do.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, Wang Shuo’s words had cleared away all the fog in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His resolve hardened!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Shuo, however, had no idea what was going through Lewandowski’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was just thinking how strange it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Europeans really do have it easier.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’A rookie from the Polish league is heading to the Premier League next season?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’When the time was right, I would definitely leave the Bundesliga too.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’That was a certainty!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The Bundesliga was already great, but as I grew stronger, I would inevitably want more.’\u003C\u002Fp>",1028,"2026-05-30T11:12:32.830Z","2026-06-01T04:31:05.348Z",1,"novelbin.me","97601130c072c9f130d0d0954d335b7f3c47b3a43a33ffa5170b2140704a0182","the-god-of-football-starts-with-passive-skills-chapter-265","the-god-of-football-starts-with-passive-skills-chapter-263",400,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-god-of-football-starts-with-passive-skills-cover.jpg"]
