Chapter 342: Chapter 79: Unrivaled in Europe! Consecutive Braces! The True Leader! He Single-handedly Broke Through a Defensive Line

But unexpectedly, Shahin suddenly launched a long diagonal pass with his left foot, sending the ball straight up the field.

The pass was completely unexpected, but it was delivered with a lot of power.

It traveled directly from near the left touchline of the penalty area to the area just outside the right of the Arc Top District.

Meanwhile, Grosskreutz, who had been near the right corner of the box, suddenly charged in from the right and leaped high into the air.

Both center-backs, Niedermayer and Tashche, had shifted left to follow Wang Shuo. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

The Italian right-back, Molinaro, had been left in the dust by Grosskreutz.

So when Grandcross jumped to challenge for the header, there wasn’t a single defender near him.

But he had drawn everyone’s attention.

All eyes in the stadium were fixed on him.

The ball dropped onto Grandcross’s head, and he nodded it toward the left side of the penalty area.

At almost the exact same moment, Wang Shuo burst forward, making a run between Niedermayer and Tashche.

Most people’s impression of Grosskreutz was that he had great stamina and strength, and decent speed.

But few seemed to know that he was actually quite good with his head.

At 1.86 meters tall, he possessed a decent aerial ability.

Within the Dortmund squad, however, his teammates were all well aware of Grandcross’s ability.

As Wang Shuo made his quick forward run, Grosskreutz’s knockdown header sent the ball perfectly into his path.

The ball arrived just as Wang Shuo did. Planting his right foot, he struck the ball on the volley with his left without taking a touch.

The suddenness of the shot left goalkeeper Leman stunned. He only had time to quickly shuffle toward the left side of the goal, tracking the ball’s trajectory.

But he never could have expected Wang Shuo’s left-footed strike to be aimed at the far corner.

The ball was moving too fast. Leman’s dive was simply too late.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"It’s in!!!"

"In the 75th minute, Dortmund have scored again!"

"A goal from Wang Shuo!"

"A brilliantly executed attacking play, with a knockdown header from Grosskreutz."

"2-1!"

"Dortmund have successfully turned the score around!"

Wang Shuo sprinted off the pitch, calling for Grosskreutz to hurry over and celebrate with him.

The rest of the team chased after them.

The entire stadium erupted in a deafening chorus of boos!

But amid the sea of boos, the faint cheers of the Dortmund fans could be heard.

...

After Dortmund turned the score around, how could the home side, Stuttgart, possibly take it lying down?

They began to launch a furious counterattack.

But no one expected that in their haste, Stuttgart would once again leave themselves exposed.

Subotic made a headed clearance from the edge of the box, sending the ball back toward midfield.

Shahin beat his man to it and slid the ball to Foyelner.

Foyelner then passed it to Wang Shuo, who had dropped back to receive the ball.

With his back to the goal, Wang Shuo executed a brilliant trap and turn. He then suddenly accelerated, playing the ball forward with his left foot for Reus to chase while he himself broke into an all-out sprint.

Reus chased down Wang Shuo’s pass just outside the left corner of the penalty area and dribbled directly into the left side of Stuttgart’s box.

But the two center-backs, Tashche and Niedermayer, closed in on him simultaneously, giving Reus no chance to break through. He had no choice but to turn his back to the goal and shield the ball.

As he turned, Reus saw Wang Shuo and the space he was pointing to with his right hand.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Reus passed the ball directly into the space Wang Shuo had indicated.

Wang Shuo rushed to meet the pass, adjusted his footing with a few quick steps inside the Arc Top District, and unleashed a powerful shot with his right foot.

The ball flew off Wang Shuo’s foot at incredible speed, rocketing into the right side of Stuttgart’s goal.

Leman dove again, but it was still well beyond his reach.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!"

"A BRACE!!"

"3-1!"

"It’s Wang Shuo again! Another brace!!"

"My God, Wang Shuo has now scored a brace in three consecutive matches in the second half of the season!"

"And he scored two goals in the span of three minutes!"

"I can’t believe it! He’s scored six goals in just three matches!"

Wang Shuo let out an ecstatic shout and charged toward the sideline, sprinting over to the section of the stands filled with Dortmund supporters. He leaped into the air, pumping his fist at the fans.

At that moment, the fans were all chanting Wang Shuo’s name in unison.

Reus and the others quickly caught up, mobbing Wang Shuo in a group hug.

...

In the end, thanks to Wang Shuo’s brace within a three-minute span, Dortmund came from behind to defeat Stuttgart 3-1!

Since the start of the second half of the season, Dortmund had secured three consecutive victories!

If you included the final three matches of the first half, it was a six-game winning streak!

This run of form from the Bumblebees was truly unstoppable!

However, in the same round of matches, Bayern secured a resounding 3-0 home victory over Mainz.

Bayer Leverkusen defeated Freiburg 3-1 at home.

This was especially true for Heynckes’s Bayer Leverkusen.

Since losing to Hamburg in the second match week, Dortmund had gone undefeated for 18 games.

But the Pharmacy had maintained a 20-game unbeaten streak so far.

They were the only two teams in Europe’s top four leagues to remain undefeated so far this season.

One was Guardiola’s Barça.

The other was Heynckes’s Bayer Leverkusen.

However, while the Pharmacy had 44 points from 12 wins and 8 draws in 20 matches, Dortmund had amassed 51 points, still maintaining a 7-point lead.

Bayern was currently in third place on the Bundesliga table with 42 points.

After the away match against Stuttgart, Dortmund officially announced that Kuba would be out for one to two weeks with an adductor strain.
