After switching sides for the second half, Bayern’s goal was now there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this very moment, Wang Shuo stood outside Bayern’s penalty area, facing not only the wall and the goal but also the South Stand behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The South Stand at Westfalen Stadium was a legendary and fearsome sight in the world of football.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was unlike the stands at any other stadium, and it was even different from the other three stands at Westfalen Stadium itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other three sides were two-tiered stands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the South Stand was one single, massive tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was 100 meters wide, 52 meters deep, and 40 meters high. The entire slope had an incline of 37 degrees, making it incredibly steep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire stand was like a steep slope, holding a full 25,000 standing fans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After arriving at Dortmund, Wang Shuo had heard many people say that the Ruhr District was a mining region. The fans here had inherited the spirit of the old miners—full of passion, astonishingly resilient, and incredibly united.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These 25,000 standing-room-only fans in the South Stand were all Dortmund’s most die-hard supporters, hailing from hundreds of local fan clubs. Moreover, they all held season tickets that renewed automatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How ridiculous was it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of the 25,000 season tickets, the number of cancellations each year was only in the single digits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were a rare commodity that you couldn’t buy even if you wanted to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For every match, they would wear yellow jerseys and don yellow-and-black scarves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before entering, the fans would eat and drink their fill. Fueled by alcohol, they could stay hyped for the entire match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How wild did Westfalen Stadium get?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The noise level rarely dropped below 100 decibels for the entire match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Near the South Stand, it was over 120 decibels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what Wang Shuo saw before him now was all 25,000 of those fans, holding their yellow-and-black scarves high in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless flag-bearers from the fan clubs vigorously waved their banners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All 80,000-plus fans in the stadium were singing in a massive, unified chorus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene reminded Wang Shuo of a line from a poem: \"To the underworld I go to rally my old legion; with a hundred thousand banners, we shall slay the King of Hell!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was truly a spectacular sight!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It made his blood boil with excitement!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His entire being was instantly ignited!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the head referee, Kircher, finished arranging the wall and blew his whistle, the fans in the South Stand all lowered their scarves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The banners also stopped waving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were all afraid their movements might interfere with the free kick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the fans kept singing, still cheering on their players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Shuo glanced at the wall and the positioning of the goalkeeper, Butt. Bayern’s usual free-kick defense strategies flashed through his mind...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are generally two types of direct free kicks. One is to go for speed—sheer power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most famous practitioner was Carlos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ronaldo’s knuckleballs and Pirlo’s dipping shots were basically this type.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this required powerful leg strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other type is to go for placement and curve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, Beckham’s banana kicks, or Little Juninho’s bizarrely curving shots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Shuo’s leg strength wasn’t quite there yet, so he was aiming for placement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the referee blew the whistle, he took everything in at a glance, rapidly analyzing and predicting the outcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After taking a deep breath, he began his quick run-up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Insight] [First Move] [Swift] [Ball Sense] [Eagle Eye] [Coordination] [Spiritual Light]...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All related passive skills were pushed to their absolute limit in that instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each step of his run-up landed exactly where he had predetermined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air currents in the stadium, the wind speed, the slickness of the ball’s surface...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ran through it all in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he planted his left foot, he could almost feel it. The way the turf compressed under his new Adidas cleats was exactly as he had anticipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had played so many matches in this stadium, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body leaned sharply, coiling like a fully drawn bow. Then, his right foot swung out and struck the ball with precision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ball was the arrow he had just loosed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone in the stadium was stunned!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had all assumed Wang Shuo was just making a feint and that the real kicker would be Shahin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But nobody expected that after his run-up, Wang Shuo would strike the ball himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a sharp THWACK, the ball shot forward at incredible speed, tracing an arc that curved around Bayern’s wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the players in the wall had barely even jumped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were waiting for Shahin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arc was truly beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ball’s speed might not have been extraordinary, but the curve was immense, and the angle was wicked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The goalkeeper, Butt, was positioned to defend against a set-piece play from Shahin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But by the time he reacted and judged the trajectory of Wang Shuo’s direct shot, the ball was already over the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time he reacted, launching himself into a diving save, it was too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ball drilled precisely into the top-right corner of Bayern’s goal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It flew in right at the junction of the crossbar and the post.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s in!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",998,"2026-05-30T11:12:32.830Z","2026-06-01T04:31:05.348Z",1,"novelbin.me","5e491490d2a521044021b6280fb469a95061d8d5e1ba1aa6c03a58f959b7a47c","the-god-of-football-starts-with-passive-skills-chapter-285","the-god-of-football-starts-with-passive-skills-chapter-283",400,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-god-of-football-starts-with-passive-skills-cover.jpg"]
