talent!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"During this attack, Wang Shuo not only showed off his astonishing speed but also his outstanding ball control and Dribbling ability.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Facing Bayern’s defensive line, composed of Van Bitten, Van Bommel, Oddo, Demichelis, and Lucio, Wang Shuo dared to charge into Bayern’s heartland all on his own.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He, Wang Shuo, used the simplest, most direct methods—a mere push and cut—to get past these famous Bayern defenders.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the match, Klinsmann defended his players, suggesting they had gotten a bit careless with a three-goal lead, which gave Wang Shuo an opportunity to exploit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Frankfurt Allgemeine Zeitung didn’t disagree with this assessment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But for Wang Shuo to still be able to score such a magnificent goal for Mainz despite the blow of being three goals down undoubtedly makes people see the potential and value he possesses!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Frankfurt Allgemeine Zeitung believed that, based on Wang Shuo’s past performances, he was not just a player with speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He is an intelligent player with good technique and an awareness for teamwork.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"More importantly, he is extremely hardworking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Frankfurt Allgemeine Zeitung provided some statistics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among all the center forwards who had scored in the Bundesliga so far, Wang Shuo ranked first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was another statistic where Wang Shuo still ranked first, even when compared against all other center forwards from both the Bundesliga and the 2nd Bundesliga.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Running distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"An astonishing average of 11 kilometers per match!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Frankfurt Allgemeine Zeitung presented a truly shocking number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What did that number even mean?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among all the center forwards in the Bundesliga and 2nd Bundesliga, basically none ran more than 10 kilometers per match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even reaching 9 kilometers was considered quite good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, who made big center forwards the trend in the Bundesliga these past few years?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could you imagine big center forwards around 1.9 meters tall, like Dzeko or Luca Tony, trying to run 9 kilometers every match?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would they have any energy left to score goals?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget center forwards—even if you included wingers, wide midfielders, central midfielders, defensive midfielders, and full-backs, the number of players who averaged 11 kilometers per match in the first four rounds of the season was minuscule.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, Wang Shuo, a forward, had a running distance that was on par with even the most tireless midfielders and full-backs in the Bundesliga.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the forward Domain, he was in a league of his own, far ahead of the pack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was truly one of a kind!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Frankfurt Allgemeine Zeitung asserted that what Klopp valued most about Wang Shuo last season was precisely his effort and diligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, this 18-year-old Chinese wonderkid was continuously revealing his own extraordinary talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bild also reported on and reviewed the match afterward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They also gave ratings to the players who participated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Shuo received the highest rating in the match: a 1.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, he was the only player in the entire match to receive a 1.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luca Tony, the Bundesliga’s top aerial threat who had scored a brace and silenced all his critics, only received a 2.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since it was a crushing 1-3 defeat, the other Mainz players mostly received ratings of 3 and 4.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Shuo’s rating was in a class of its own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subotic, who had been tormented by Luca Tony all match, received the worst rating: a 5.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bild expressed its sympathy for Subotic’s predicament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a 19-year-old young center-back to face the formidable Luca Tony was truly a nightmare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why give Wang Shuo the highest rating of the match, a 1?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bild stated that since the start of the season, the 18-year-old Wang Shuo had consistently been Mainz’s best-performing player.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was especially true in the latest match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his extensive running, both in attack and defense, Wang Shuo’s involvement in the game was indispensable to Mainz.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the most stunning moment was his long-distance solo run when the team was three goals down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was a perfect demonstration of Wang Shuo’s individual ability and talent!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With that goal, Wang Shuo outshone everyone on the field, his brilliance even eclipsing that of Bayern’s many superstars.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bild remarked that it had been a long time since such an exciting young player had appeared in the Bundesliga.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ribery?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, the Bayern king was about to make his comeback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before Ribery came to the Bundesliga, he was already a well-known star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, Ribery’s looks were not even in the same league as Wang Shuo’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"While many Bundesliga fans were lamenting Van der Vaart’s departure to Real Madrid in La Liga, Mainz’s Wang Shuo is rapidly on the rise!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Kicker Magazine played the part of an authoritative football media outlet quite well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They produced a report introducing Klopp’s brand-new Mainz team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The headline was: Chinese Genius Gives Mainz a Gorgeous Makeover!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kicker Magazine analyzed Klopp’s Mainz team on a tactical level, concluding that many elements still adhered to the same philosophy Klopp had always championed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there were also many changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, Wang Shuo—at only 1.8 meters tall, with a slightly thin build and lacking in physical strength for confrontations—was clearly not the type of tall center forward that Klopp typically preferred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bancé, on the other hand, was more to Klopp’s taste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Wang Shuo was the starting forward, while Bancé was stuck warming the bench.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wang Shuo’s qualities are completely different from other players; not only can he bring goals, but he can also help others on the team play better.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His extensive running in the attacking half greatly relieved the pressure on the midfield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This benefited a group of veterans led by Kalhan and Pekovic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the addition of Hainauer, Mainz’s attack began to rely more on ground passes rather than the long balls of the past.\u003C\u002Fp>",970,"2026-05-30T11:12:32.550Z","2026-06-01T04:31:05.348Z",1,"novelbin.me","4516211d259bce0f4f3a789180c10a753ee1a91dcebfea06d315ed6b6316a797","the-god-of-football-starts-with-passive-skills-chapter-100","the-god-of-football-starts-with-passive-skills-chapter-98",400,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-god-of-football-starts-with-passive-skills-cover.jpg"]
