The God of Football Starts With Passive Skills-Chapter 195 - 58: Into the Final! A Personal Tragedy! The Bundesliga’s Strongest Rookie! Another Victim at Wang Shuo’s Feet

Chapter 195: Chapter 58: Into the Final! A Personal Tragedy! The Bundesliga’s Strongest Rookie! Another Victim at Wang Shuo’s Feet

They have a tall center-forward, giving them enough dominance up front.

Bungert’s defense was timely. He got ahead of his man and cleared the ball with a header, winning the first ball.

But Bayer Leverkusen pressed high as a team, and their midfield’s second wave of attack came on quickly.

Tony Kroos immediately won the ball back.

Moreover, their players are all technically well-rounded.

After winning the ball, they made two or three passes to get it to Augusto on the right wing.

The Brazilian dribbled past Lővér and cut inside diagonally, trying to break into the penalty area.

When Augusto dribbled to the right side of the edge of the penalty area, he sent a diagonal pass, looking for Kiesling.

If you had to pinpoint Bayer Leverkusen’s biggest problem in this match, it would be that both of their center-forwards weren’t in top form.

They lacked the passion of being completely invested in the game.

They were running hard and pressing hard, but they were always just a little bit off.

Just like this time.

Augusto’s pass was actually quite good.

But Kiesling is a tall center-forward. If he had just shielded Nowitzki and controlled the ball, he would have been surrounded by Bayer Leverkusen players.

Whether it was long shots from Tony Kroos and Vidal or the scoring efficiency of Helmes, they would have all been extremely dangerous.

But Kiesling was clearly not on the same wavelength as Augusto.

Augusto passed the ball expecting him to receive it with his back to the goal.

But Kiesling wanted to run in behind the Mainz center-back to get a shot off.

Their intentions didn’t align.

Nowitzki got a foot in first and intercepted the ball.

Vidal immediately pounced, trying to win it back.

Nowitzki passed to Helle, who then passed to Kalhan.

Kalhan, caught between Vidal and Tony Kroos, hastily passed the ball forward.

Strictly speaking, it wasn’t even a proper pass.

But Wang Shuo chose to run back for it.

Even though Klopp had told him to stay as far forward as possible, you have to be flexible and adapt on the pitch.

Wang Shuo beat Rolfes to the ball, winning possession and distributing it to the right wing, to Schürrle.

"Andrei, over there!"

As Wang Shuo passed, he pointed to the left with his right hand.

At that moment, Mainz’s right flank was crowded, while the left side was wide open.

Schürrle didn’t take a touch, instead launching a long ball to switch the play.

As soon as he saw Schürrle make the pass, Wang Shuo immediately turned and sprinted straight forward.

While sprinting, he kept turning his head to survey the situation.

When Foyelner controlled the ball, he was being marked by Castro, so he immediately passed to Hainauer.

Hainauer carried the ball forward from the left side of the center circle, near the halfway line.

Wang Shuo ran between Kadlec and Friedrich.

But at this moment, [Eagle Eye] activated.

Generally, when the defensive line is holding a high position, the center-backs will try to stay parallel to each other.

The advantage of this is that it makes it easier to set an offside trap when the opponent tries to play a ball in behind.

But after a quick glance, Wang Shuo noticed that Sinkywitz was playing slightly deeper than Friedrich, who was closer to him.

Because Castro had just pressed Foyelner, the two center-backs were spread relatively far apart.

Perhaps because of the distance, they hadn’t been able to adjust their positioning in time.

And this detail, at this very moment, became absolutely fatal.

Once Wang Shuo saw this, he decisively picked up his pace, bursting past Friedrich and Kadlec, making a diagonal run towards the center and raising his hand to call for the ball.

Hainauer immediately sent a through ball.

Friedrich instantly raised his hand, signaling that Wang Shuo was offside.

But to the Bayer Leverkusen center-back’s disappointment, the referee didn’t blow the whistle, and the linesman didn’t raise his flag.

Wang Shuo cut inside diagonally at top speed.

Hainauer’s through ball was also quick, arriving right alongside Wang Shuo.

Wang Shuo saw Sinkywitz turning to chase back. He didn’t stop the ball directly. Instead, he stepped over the ball with his left foot and then gently nudged it forward with the outside of his right foot, keeping it on his right side.

At the same time, he used his body to block Sinkywitz’s recovery path, forcing Sinkywitz to slow down.

Kadlec was desperately tracking back from the right, but Wang Shuo was dribbling at high speed.

"Little Eagle" Adler also decisively abandoned his goal and rushed out towards the top of the penalty arc.

But just as Wang Shuo reached the edge of the arc, he didn’t slow down and directly executed a Swing Pass.

This signature move made famous by Ronaldo was becoming more and more fluid in Wang Shuo’s execution.

Unlike Neuer, Adler wasn’t actually very good at rushing out. He was only doing it now because his defensive line had been breached and he had no other choice.

After Wang Shuo feinted with his left foot, Adler had already been fooled.

The rest was simple.

After dribbling past Adler, Wang Shuo immediately took a powerful shot.

Kadlec tried a sliding tackle, but it was too late.

The football once again rocketed into Bayer Leverkusen’s goal at incredible speed.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!"

"The 64th minute! The 64th minute! Mainz scores again!"

"It’s another goal from Wang Shuo!"

"Another classic Swing Pass!"

"Adler once again plays the tragic hero, faked to the ground inside his own box, becoming another victim at Wang Shuo’s feet."

"2-0!"

After scoring, Wang Shuo turned and ran, pumping his right fist continuously along the way. He finally rushed to the stands where the Mainz fans were, leaped into the air, and threw a punch towards the crowd with all his might.

He was met with the roar of several hundred Mainz fans who had traveled with the team for the away game.
