The God of Football Starts With Passive Skills-Chapter 123 - 48: Swing Pass! Ronaldo’s Successor! The Entire Bundesliga Wants to Sign Him
For now, his stamina was good enough.
As for his other stats, Wang Shuo wasn’t looking to improve them at the moment.
He chose to draw from the blind box.
He threw in 50 Passive Value points to redeem a Passive Skill Card, and the giant football began to spin.
"Congratulations. You have used a Passive Skill Card and drawn the Passive Skill: [Coordination]."
’Coordination? What the hell is that?’
Wang Shuo was a little disappointed.
He had wanted a physical enhancement—the kind that would quickly turn him into a beast.
"Coordination: Improves the body’s balance and the fluidity of its movements, increasing the success rate of technical skills."
’What is this crap?’
’Is my body unbalanced?’
’Are my movements not coordinated enough?’
’Or is my execution of skills poor?’
To be honest, Wang Shuo was very disappointed with the results of his blind box draw.
But an hour after he sulkily exited the Ball God System, on the Mainz training grounds during a team scrimmage, he felt like he was about to explode on the spot.
’I’m about to take off!’
...
Forty-seven-year-old Armin Fei was a renowned promotion specialist in the German Football Scene.
He began his coaching career in the late 1980s. In 1990, he took charge of Augsburg, leading the low-tier club into the regional league.
He went on to manage Fiat and Rutlingen, leading both teams to promotion into the 2nd Bundesliga.
Later, he took over as a mid-season replacement for Rostock, helping the team avoid relegation from the Bundesliga for two consecutive years.
It was precisely because of his solid coaching record that Armin Fei got the chance to take over Stuttgart mid-season in February 2006.
In his very first full season with Stuttgart, he led the team to the club’s third Bundesliga title in its history!
This achievement made Armin Fei a household name.
At Stuttgart, Armin Fei was known for his boldness in promoting young talent, and his style of play was anything but conservative.
The recently-capped Germany National Team center-back, Tashche, was one of the players he had personally brought up through the ranks.
This German center-back, just 21 years old, standing at 1.86 meters and weighing 80 kilograms, possessed an enviably powerful physique.
Back when Real Madrid signed Pepe from Porto for a staggering 30 million euros, Armin Fei had proudly declared, "We have our own Tashche, and he’s every bit as good as Pepe!"
This was the highest possible praise for Tashche.
And over the past three seasons, the center-back had repaid Armin Fei’s faith with his own outstanding performances.
At the same time, he opened the door to the national team for himself.
From the U19s to the U20s and then the U21s, Tashche not only excelled at the club level under Armin Fei but also climbed the ranks of the national youth teams step by step.
After the 2008 European Cup, he was even selected for the senior national team by Lővér.
Due to Mertesacker struggling for playing time at Real Madrid, on top of an injury and a red card suspension, Tashche had been a starter for the Germany National Team since August, playing in every match.
Recently, there were even rumors that Bayern Munich was keeping an eye on him.
This made Tashche dream of a bright future.
It also filled him with the ambition to deliver even better performances in the Bundesliga.
He wanted to go to Bayern!
So, in the 11th round of the Bundesliga, during Stuttgart’s home match against Mainz, Tashche was extremely active from the opening whistle. Just over a minute into the game, he carried the ball out from the back, breaking through Mainz’s press in the midfield.
After crossing the halfway line, Tashche passed the ball upfield to Gomez.
Tashche was thrilled to see the attack he had initiated result in a dangerous shot on goal.
As he jogged back to his position, he made sure to glance toward the stands.
’The Bayern scouts should be sitting there, right?’
’Did you see that?’
’I, Sedat Tashche, am the ideal successor to Lucio!’
Less than a minute later, Tashche pressed high again, intercepting a pass from Foyelner to Wang Shuo. He quickly passed it to his midfield teammate, Sami Khedira, to launch an attack.
However, Khedira’s pass near the halfway line was cut out by a well-timed challenge from Subotic.
After winning the ball, Subotic immediately launched a counter-attack.
Mainz always played at a blistering pace.
Kalhan passed to Hainauer ahead of him.
After receiving the ball near the center circle and turning, Hainauer glanced upfield.
"Here!"
Wang Shuo raised his hand upfield, calling for the ball.
He was in open space.
Without a moment’s hesitation, Hainauer passed him the ball.
Wang Shuo, facing sideways, trapped the ball, turned, and immediately accelerated, charging forward on the dribble.
Now, the man standing in his way was Tashche. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Wang Shuo skillfully dribbled the ball, closing in on Tashche.
He noticed that after a quick glance around, Tashche didn’t back off but chose to stand his ground.
’This guy is confident in his one-on-one defending!’
Wang Shuo grew excited as well.
He had just acquired his eighth passive skill, [Coordination], and Tashche was the perfect opponent to test its power against.
’What better whetstone is there than a new starter for the Germany National Team?’
At that thought, Wang Shuo gritted his teeth and suddenly burst into a sprint.
He got faster and faster.
Tashche was surprised.
’Aren’t you supposed to slow down a little when you’re trying to beat a man?’
But he immediately made his read.
’Is this kid from China trying to use his speed to just bull his way past me?’
’He’s seriously underestimating me!’
Tashche cursed inwardly, his eyes locked on Wang Shuo.
Even as Wang Shuo charged into Tashche’s defensive zone, he still didn’t slow down.
