Mainz.
After matchday 11 of the Bundesliga, the schedule returned to one game a week.
The team had a day off, but the training ground on the north side of Bruch Road Stadium was still bustling with activity.
Wang Shuo was still on the training ground, drenched in sweat as he put himself through extra practice.
At some point, it wasn't just Subotic and Schürrle accompanying him for the extra sessions.
There was also Kirschhoff from the U19s and Roman Neustadter from the second team.
Even Germany U-21 international Nico Bungert, who had just joined in the summer, voluntarily stayed behind.
Eventually, even the substitute goalkeeper, Ischdonat, stayed behind of his own accord to help Wang Shuo with his shooting and free-kick practice.
Ever since Dimo Wache returned from injury, Ischdonat had lost his starting spot and had even been relegated to third-choice goalkeeper.
But having fought alongside him last season, he had an excellent impression of Wang Shuo.
