Standing on the sidelines, Lewandowski thought watching Wang Shuo play was a picture of effortless grace. He moved with such leisurely, stylish confidence.
He made it seem like their opponents were weak!
But once he was on the pitch himself, standing before the opposing center-backs, Lewandowski felt the pressure.
The center-back named Alexander Eberlein was a starting player for Germany's U20 national team in 2008, and his skill was one thing...
But the other, a Nigerian center-back named Darlington Omoyinbe, wasn't well-known. He'd supposedly played in the Polish league before and had spent a long time in the Second Bundesliga.
The moment Lewandowski challenged Omoyinbe physically, he was shocked.
He was so strong!
His muscles felt as hard as steel.
Even though he was only 1.88 meters tall, he put an immense amount of pressure on Lewandowski.
Facing them on the pitch was a completely different experience from the impression Wang Shuo had given off.
