Wang Shuo flicked the ball into the air. Aided by its own momentum, it sailed precisely through the gap that had opened between Krstajic and Hewedes, landing on the right side of the penalty area behind the defensive line.
After completing the maneuver, Wang Shuo lost his balance and slipped to the ground just outside the penalty area.
But in that instant, everyone was stunned!
A surprised shriek erupted throughout the entire Veltins Arena.
Hewedes lifted his foot, trying to block the pass, but he couldn't get anywhere near the ball.
Hainauer charged forward, and Kobayashi followed.
But the pass clearly wasn't intended for them; the ball was moving too quickly for them to reach.
Only Schürrle, who had dutifully positioned himself at the right corner of the penalty area, felt a surge of infinite admiration for Wang Shuo at that moment!
'Holy shit, he actually passed it!'
'Wang Shuo, you're my hero!'
'How on earth did you do that?'
