Chapter 382: Chapter 85: Number 1 in the Bundesliga! A Sky-High Contract! Advance, Dortmund! The Shadow of Bayern’s Great Comeback Reappears

Of course, Watzke and the others knew just how outstanding Wang Shuo’s performance had been this season.

After Shen Qinghe finished her presentation and saw that no one had any comments, she didn’t press the issue and simply moved on.

"These are the Bundesliga assist stats for this season. As of Matchday 24, Wang Shuo has 12 assists."

"Behind Wang Shuo is Mesut of Werder Bremen with 11 assists."

"Marco Marin of Werder Bremen has 9 assists."

"Tony Kroos of Bayer Leverkusen has 8 assists."

"If we count up to Matchday 26, Wang Shuo’s assist count reaches 14. That’s because during Matchday 25 against Borussia Mönchengladbach, he assisted twice more, and also had an indirect assist for another goal."

"So, Wang Shuo also ranks first in the Bundesliga for assists!"

By the time Shen Qinghe got to this point, Watzke and the others were starting to get restless.

In truth, Wang Shuo’s performance was plain to see.

Goals and assists were public-facing statistics.

Dortmund acknowledged this.

"Miss Shen, we are well aware of these statistics. What we’re not clear on is, what exactly are you trying to say?" Zorc instinctively felt that he couldn’t let Shen Qinghe continue.

He, Watzke, and the others all had a bad feeling about this.

Shen Qinghe smiled confidently. "Don’t be so anxious, Mr. Zorc. Let’s continue."

"All of the following data comes directly from the International Football Bank. If you have any doubts, we can log into their database right now to verify."

Watzke, Zorc, and the others exchanged a look, all of them starting to lose their composure.

This young woman was on a completely different level than Thomas Essien.

’This is going to be tough!’

"As of Matchday 24 in the Bundesliga, Wang Shuo ranks first for average successful dribbles per game!"

"And he’s first by a landslide!"

"Wang Shuo ranks first in the Bundesliga for average shots on target per game!"

"Wang Shuo ranks first in the Bundesliga for average fouls suffered per game!"

"According to post-match ratings from Bild, Wang Shuo’s average score is the highest in the Bundesliga!"

"Wang Shuo ranks first in the Bundesliga for average dangerous passes per game!"

"Wang Shuo’s average number of passes per game is the highest among all forwards in the Bundesliga!"

"Wang Shuo ranks first in the Bundesliga for average key passes per game!"

"Among all attacking midfielders and forwards in the Bundesliga, Wang Shuo ranks first for average possessions won per game!"

As Shen Qinghe rattled off one stat after another, Watzke and the others truly felt as if the sky was falling.

Just as they’d feared, their premonition had come true.

’Is this data real?’

’Yes!’

’Did they know about it?’

’They hadn’t looked at it this closely before, but they knew the general gist.’

So, when for the first time someone had compiled all this data so meticulously and presented it to them in such a direct, visual way, they were genuinely thrown into a panic.

They couldn’t even begin to think of a rebuttal.

’Wang Shuo’s performance is just too good!’

’Unbelievably good!’

Some were even saying his performance in the Bundesliga was better than Messi’s in La Liga.

After presenting the data, Shen Qinghe didn’t press her advantage.

That wasn’t her strategy, nor was it her goal. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Wang Shuo wanted to continue playing for Dortmund, and her purpose wasn’t to argue with the club over who was right or wrong.

She just wanted to make Dortmund realize exactly how important Wang Shuo was to them.

So she gave them time to digest the data.

"Miss Shen."

Watzke was the first to recover.

As a negotiator, he acknowledged the authenticity of the data.

But he had to find some leverage.

"First of all, my colleagues and I agree with what you’ve said. Wang Shuo is indeed our team’s most important player. His statistics and performance are truly second to none in the Bundesliga, even putting him far ahead of the pack."

"However, I hope you can also understand that football has never been a sport of individual heroics. It’s about the team and collaboration. Wang Shuo’s performance is inseparable from the support and help of the team, the coaching staff, and his teammates."

"You must be aware that in many cases, our team’s entire offense is designed and built around him. You should acknowledge that as well."

Watzke’s point was clear.

Wang Shuo was indeed very important.

But his performance was built on the foundation of the entire Dortmund team’s support.

This was also true.

Shen Qinghe nodded slightly. She didn’t offer a rebuttal, instead turning to her laptop. Her voice remained as gentle and composed as ever.

"You’re right, Mr. Watzke."

"Football is a very complex team sport. The same set of data can be interpreted from many different angles."

"Even a single pass can lead to completely different conclusions depending on how you look at it."

"For any given goal, who was more important? The one who made the great pass, or the one who scored?"

"Arguments like these are common in football, and you can even find statistics that seem to contradict each other."

Watzke gave a hearty laugh and nodded. "Exactly, Miss Shen. For years, the European Football Scene has had a complicated relationship with data analysis. It’s seen more as a reference point than a tool for making decisions."

Sitting to one side, Thomas Essien started to get anxious.

’He’s trying to diminish the importance of that whole string of data Shen Qinghe just presented with a single statement.’
