The God of Football Starts With Passive Skills

Chapter 275 - 69: An Unforgettable Great Fiasco! Trading Blows with Bayern! The Great Locker Room Detective! You’re No Neuer

In the end, Lahm chipped a pass along the sideline, lifting it over Grosskreutz to find Robben, who was dropping back to receive the ball.

As Robben dropped back to control the ball, Sven Bender had already charged over. He muscled Robben aside and knocked the ball out of bounds with his foot.

A Throw-In for Bayern.

At that moment, the match was only nine seconds old!

The entire Westfalen Stadium erupted with the cheers of Dortmund fans.

As Lahm stood on the sideline preparing for the Throw-In, the Dortmund players pressed high up the pitch as a unit.

Tymoshchuk came over to receive the ball and immediately passed it back to Lahm.

This time, Lahm went for a long clearance, but the ball was blocked out of bounds by Grosskreutz.

But Bayern weren’t to be trifled with.

Lahm quickly threw the ball to Van Bitten on the defensive line.

He passed it to Van Bommel, who then gave it back to Lahm.

Lahm seized an opportunity and sent a through ball forward.

Robben surged forward at top speed. After crossing the halfway line, he ran onto Lahm’s pass.

The Dutchman was incredibly fast.

Although De De tracked back in time, he was simply no match for Robben.

The Little Flying Hero blazed down the right flank with the ball. Just outside the right corner of the penalty area, he slowed down, looking to cut inside.

But just at that moment, Grosskreutz sprinted all the way back, returning to his position just in time.

Robben clearly saw Grandcross and immediately changed his mind, suddenly altering his course and bursting toward the byline.

Hearing Grandcross’s shout, De De held his position, staying tight on Robben.

The two of them rushed toward the byline together.

In the end, Robben’s cross was weak and was blocked behind by a well-positioned Hummels.

The attack didn’t result in a shot, but it was still dangerous.

Robben’s explosive run down the right wing had given Dortmund a real scare.

That was the power of a world-class winger!

Following that, Bayern won two consecutive corner kicks.

If Dortmund had come out of the gates aggressively, Bayern quickly returned the favor.

"Both teams have set a blistering pace right from the opening whistle."

"It’s clear neither side is holding anything back."

"We’re only two minutes in, but we can already tell this is shaping up to be a spectacular, fast-paced, end-to-end battle!"

"This fits perfectly with the football philosophies of both Van Gaal and Klopp."

"Neither of these managers is the conservative type."

"Look at this Bayern attack... it’s another corner."

"Their third consecutive corner."

However, after Ribery took the corner, it was quickly headed out of the box by Subotic.

Sven Bender simply hoofed the ball forward, clearing the danger.

It was an aimless clearance, not intended for Wang Shuo.

From the right of the center circle on the halfway line, Badstuber passed the ball forward, looking for Robben in the right half-space.

But just inside Dortmund’s half, to the right of the center circle, Shahin perfectly timed his movement to intercept the pass.

Wang Shuo was positioned inside the center circle.

The moment he saw Shahin’s successful interception, he glanced at Badstuber before spinning around.

In that instant, the positions of Badstuber and Van Bitten were registered in Wang Shuo’s mind.

He immediately raised his right hand, pointing forward and to the right, and burst into an all-out sprint.

Shahin saw the run and sent a long, diagonal pass with his left foot.

Wang Shuo instantly hit top speed, glancing over his shoulder to track the ball’s trajectory.

Although he started his run from behind Van Bitten, the trajectory and landing spot of Shahin’s pass favored him.

But as Wang Shuo turned his head forward again, he saw that Bayern’s goalkeeper, Butt, was rushing off his line!

’Crap!’

’If I keep on this path, Butt will definitely get to the ball first.’

’What should I do?’

In that split second, Wang Shuo’s mind raced.

Everything on the field—the slightest movements of Van Bitten, Butt, Badstuber, and everyone else—materialized with perfect clarity in his mind.

[Eagle Eye] let him see every minute detail, while [First Move] allowed him to deduce his opponents’ next actions.

A flash of [Spiritual Light] sparked in his mind, and he continued his charge without breaking stride.

Butt had rushed out of the penalty area, almost leaving the 30-meter zone.

He couldn’t use his hands anymore!

But it was a long ball.

So, Butt’s plan was to simply clear the ball with his feet.

He was surrounded by his own Bayern players. As long as the ball didn’t end up at Wang Shuo’s feet, the danger would be neutralized.

In the instant before he made his move, Wang Shuo was reminded of Schalke 04’s goalkeeper, Neuer.

’That guy who loves to charge out of his box at the slightest provocation!’

He’d caused Wang Shuo plenty of trouble in the past, but he’d also been thoroughly outsmarted by him.

Wang Shuo remembered him well.

’Too bad for you, Butt. You’re no Neuer!’

Butt never in a million years expected Wang Shuo to get a foot to the ball first.

With the inside of his right foot, he met the ball in mid-air, cushioning it down toward his own left side.

After controlling the ball, Wang Shuo immediately slowed his momentum to avoid a collision with Butt, simultaneously pivoting to his left.

Wang Shuo had brought the ball under control.

This should have been Van Bitten’s area to cover.

But crucially, Van Bitten had overrun the play.

The ball dropped perfectly into the space behind him.

The Belgian center-back stood 1.97 meters tall. At this moment, his massive, powerful frame, far from being an asset, made him seem unusually clumsy and sluggish.

His own momentum made it impossible for him to turn around in time.

By the time he turned his head, he saw Wang Shuo changing direction to intercept, bringing the ball to a dead stop with his left foot.

It all unfolded right behind Van Bitten.

If his body had been facing the other way, Wang Shuo wouldn’t have had a prayer.

But cruelly, there are no "what ifs" in football.

After stopping the ball with his left foot, before Butt could close him down, Wang Shuo ran onto it and unleashed a powerful shot with that same left foot.

The shot wasn’t exceptionally powerful, and it was taken from quite a distance.

But Bayern’s penalty box—and the goal—were completely empty!

Everyone could only watch, helplessly, as the football dropped into the back of Bayern’s net.

And at that moment, the game clock stopped at exactly the three-minute mark!
