Wang Shuo spoke with immense resolve and confidence.
This was so unlike Wang Shuo!
He rarely displayed such an aggressive and supremely confident demeanor.
But in that moment, everyone was completely won over.
Because he was Wang Shuo!
...
The second half began with Wang Shuo getting caught offside.
His teammates really started trying everything to get the ball to him.
They finally managed a pass, but the timing was off. Just as Wang Shuo surged forward, Bayern's defensive line pushed up in unison, springing an offside trap that caught him.
But Wang Shuo kept running, constantly searching for an opening.
Bayern continued to mark him tightly, never letting up for an instant.
It was incredibly difficult to get the ball to his feet.
In the 66th minute, Schmelzer, on the left flank, launched a long, diagonal pass toward the penalty area, looking for Wang Shuo.
But the goalkeeper, Craft, decisively came off his line, rushing out to claim the ball from mid-air.
