The God of Football Starts With Passive Skills-Chapter 112 - 46: Beating 4 Players! Player of the Round! The Bundesliga is So Exciting This Season
The three of them sat on the sofa, seemingly just having a casual chat.
The conversation revolved around Wang Shuo and Mainz.
At least, that’s how it started.
Wang Shuo didn’t mind talking about his past, but he was reluctant to go into detail.
But when the topic shifted to football and Mainz, Wang Shuo became much more talkative.
For instance, when discussing his development, Wang Shuo said he now treats every single match as a learning opportunity.p>Wang Shuo also frankly admitted that when he first arrived in Germany, he had trials with 18 different teams before finally finding success with Mainz.
"Why? I have no idea. But one of the head coaches told my agent that I should go to the Premier League, because I would become as famous as Beckham."
Wang Shuo had intended for that last joke to stop the host from digging deeper into the topic of his trials.
It would be too easy to offend the other teams, something Heidel had previously warned Wang Shuo about.
But unexpectedly, as soon as the topic came up, Aunt Jessica immediately seized the opportunity. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
"Beckham? Lina, do you think he’s handsome?"
Wang Shuo didn’t expect the conversation to swerve in this direction. He even felt like this was the moment for the hype crew to start making some noise.
All the TV shows he had ever watched were like this.
Lina Gerk was clearly aware that her purpose for being there was to create some drama for the show.
So, she actually stood up and, with a supermodel’s catwalk strut, gracefully walked over to Wang Shuo. Holding out her hand, she asked, "I believe you can become the Beckham of the Bundesliga, but you’ll need a Victoria by your side."
"WOOOO!!" Aunt Jessica began to hoot and holler.
In the distance, not only the show’s producer, Mark Williams, but also Heidel and Thomas Essien were frantically waving at Wang Shuo, signaling for him to play along.
Wang Shuo immediately stood up and gently took Lina Gerk’s hand.
The next moment, he was enveloped in a sweet fragrance as she pulled him into an embrace.
In that instant, Wang Shuo genuinely felt a jolt, as if he’d been struck by lightning.
’It was mainly because her figure was just incredible. So soft and supple.’
He was reminded of the female fan from that one morning.
’Lina Gerk was taller, smelled better, and felt even more supple.’
It was just...
’Wang Shuo felt like he’d gotten the short end of the stick, that she had taken advantage of him.’
’What a raw deal!’
After hugging for a long moment, the two "reluctantly" separated.
This was likely the climax of the show.
The most incisive part of the interview, however, was about Wang Shuo currently holding the top spot on the scorer list.
Interestingly, the current top three players on the scorer list all came from the 2nd Bundesliga.
Wang Shuo from Mainz, Ibisevic from Hoffenheim, and Bayer Leverkusen’s Helmes, who was with Cologne last season.
This was an absolutely unprecedented sight in the history of the Bundesliga.
Famous Bundesliga stars like Luca Tony, Klose, Gomez, Griffith, Dzeko, and Podolski were all ranked below them.
Three strikers promoted from the 2nd Bundesliga had actually claimed the top three spots on the scorer list.
When it came to this question, however, Wang Shuo’s answer was quite serious.
"It’s my honor to be compared with veterans like Luca Tony and Klose."
"They’ve always been the players I strive to learn from. I often study footage of their matches and their goal highlights."
At this point, Wang Shuo’s tone shifted.
"My seven goals are all thanks to my teammates behind me. Their defense, their Passing, and their tireless running have created more opportunities for me up front."
"I’m not one for individual heroics. I’m honored to be a part of the Mainz team."
"But I hope that when the team needs me, I’ll have the ability to step up!"
"Of course, I’m not the best yet, so I’ll keep working hard. I hope to become the kind of player our head coach talks about—the one who can make the impossible possible."
"The five percent!"
This series of answers from Wang Shuo made Thomas Essien and Heidel, who were watching from off-camera, nod repeatedly in approval.
He was already at the top of the scorer list; not showing any ambition at this point would be a sign of weakness.
But as a young player, being too arrogant or flashy would also attract criticism.
Take Ronaldo, for example. Back in his early days, he was constantly criticized and blasted by the media.
Wang Shuo clearly didn’t have that kind of personality.
The way he handled it now showed a perfect balance of humility and confidence.
He didn’t belittle his competitors, yet he still revealed his ambition to keep striving for more.
Most importantly, he put Mainz first!
...
But Wang Shuo could never have imagined that the very next morning, the German media would break a sensational story.
Wang Shuo was in love!
The headline photo was of him hugging Lina Gerk.
Wang Shuo was dumbfounded.
’I’m in a relationship I don’t even know about.’
’How magical!’
Just then, his phone suddenly rang.
An unknown number.
...
It wasn’t until she received a call from her agent, Gunter Krumm, that Lina Gerk realized she was trending.
It was all because of a photo that had been taken and released by an unknown party.
Gunter Krumm said it was possibly leaked by Premiere for promotional purposes.
However, he couldn’t rule out the possibility that a staff member had secretly taken the photo and sold it to the media.
As a former television producer himself, Gunter Krumm felt that this sort of thing was impossible to trace.
It would lead to a dead end.
After confirming multiple times that her team had nothing to do with the leak, Lina Gerk decided to give Wang Shuo a call.
Yesterday, after the recording, she had been the one who took the initiative to exchange phone numbers with Wang Shuo.
But after hesitating and carefully choosing her words, when she finally called Wang Shuo’s number, she was met with a detached-sounding inquiry from the other end.
