The God of Football Starts With Passive Skills-Chapter 96 - 44: Long-distance Sprint! Refuse Bayern? I’ll Out-compete the World
This goal would raise Wang Shuo's market value by at least one million euros.
No, maybe even two million!
At this thought, Hennes took a deep breath, turned to look at Strutz and Heidel, and made an immediate decision.
"Five million euros. Sell him to us at Bayern during the winter transfer window!"
Hennes's sudden offer left Strutz and Heidel completely stunned.
Five million euros?
Right now, the most expensive player on Mainz's entire squad was Subotic, and he was only valued at four million euros.
And Wang Shuo had just surpassed that?
Both Strutz and Heidel's eyes lit up at Hennes's offer.
Should they sell?
...
The match resumed.
No one expected that after Wang Shuo's goal, Mainz's morale would surge, and they would turn the tables to press and attack Bayern.
Just moments ago, the Mainz players had been exhausted, but now they were all playing as if they'd been shot full of adrenaline.
When the live feed was broadcast back to China, appearing in the studios of Capital Television's sports channel, fans all over the country roared with excitement.
A solo run like that, from one end of the field to the other, had always seemed like a privilege reserved for players from other countries. When had anyone ever seen a Chinese player pull off such a magnificent play?
And in the Bundesliga, no less!
Against a top-tier giant like Bayern, at that!
"My God, Wang Shuo's performance is just explosive!"
"I can't believe it. Is he really one of our Chinese players?"
"Look at Mainz! Everyone's been inspired! It's so fucking awesome!"
"I'm literally getting goosebumps watching this."
"I feel like crying."
"He's just so good. He keeps getting better and better."
"Oh, right! Today's September 13th—Wang Shuo's birthday!"
"Really? Then this is truly the best birthday present ever."
"Congratulations, Wang Shuo!"
"Go for it! Destroy Bayern!"
"I have no doubt now. Not only can Wang Shuo establish himself in the Bundesliga, but as long as he avoids injuries, his future development will exceed everyone's wildest imagination."
"I second that!"
"^This!"
...
"Congratulations. You faced the strongest team in the top league with no way out and no chance of victory, yet you still rose up to fight back, dealing a heavy blow to your opponent. You have completed the Achievement: [Desperate Struggle]."
"Reward: one Passive Skill Card. Claim now?"
The moment the final whistle blew, two messages popped up in Wang Shuo's mind.
Besides the reward for the [Desperate Struggle] Achievement, there was also the post-match settlement.
This time, it was 8 points of Passive Value.
His accumulated Passive Value now totaled 13 points.
Wang Shuo himself hadn't expected to get such a reward after going all out against Bayern.
He had used a Passive Skill Card and drawn [Spiritual Light], and now he'd been rewarded with another one after the match.
He was truly starting to appreciate the thrill of [War Feeds War].
If he could just maintain this momentum of progress, give him a few more years, and he believed he would definitely have a chance to leave his own mark on the Adidas Walk of Fame!
Wang Shuo didn't enter the Ball God System. Instead, he just glanced at the messages, took note of them, and moved on.
The match ended in a 1-3 rout at home against Bayern!
The scoreline was indeed a harsh one.
The period in the second half when they conceded three consecutive goals, in particular, reminded countless people of the final round two years ago that led to Mainz's relegation.
Back then, Mainz had also suffered a devastating defeat!
But today was different.
Wang Shuo's goal in the final moments of the match was like a lifeline, giving everyone at Mainz a sense of hope.
Klopp extended his "scoring" record against Bayern.
In eight matches, his team had failed to score against Bayern only once. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
The rugged, artsy coach was exceptionally stubborn in this regard.
After the match, Klopp also acted differently than usual.
He walked straight onto the pitch, calling over veterans like Nowitzki and Wach, and also beckoned to Wang Shuo.
After quickly gathering all the players around him, Klopp first gave them his approval, stating that he was satisfied with the outcome of the match.
"Two years ago in the league, we lost 0-4 at home and 2-5 away. Today, it was 1-3."
"This means we're improving!"
"I believe that in our next match, at the Allianz Arena, we can do even better!"
With that, Klopp led everyone towards the stands.
The more than 20,000 Mainz fans in attendance were ecstatic.
When Klopp led the team to the front of the stands, they all rose to their feet in unison, chanting the names of Mainz, Klopp, and the players.
To Wang Shuo's surprise, the cheers for his name today were especially loud.
They were even on par with the cheers for the head coach, Klopp.
It left him feeling a bit overwhelmed by the favor.
"Congratulations, Wang. This proves the fans like you more and more," Foyelner said with a laugh, standing beside him.
Wang Shuo was happy too.
Essentially none of the players at Mainz—especially players like Wang Shuo, Subotic, or even Foyelner—thought they would spend their entire careers with this club.
This was mainly because Mainz was too small of a club.
Take Subotic, for example.
Even though he was only nineteen, his fame was already on the rise, and he was hailed as one of the best among the new generation of center-backs in the Bundesliga.
If Mainz hadn't been promoted from the 2nd Bundesliga this season, he definitely would have left.
His desire to leave was one thing, but the Mainz Club also wanted to sell him.
This was the survival strategy of a small club!
From the club's management to the coach to the fans, everyone understood how this system worked.
