Chapter 85: Rumors of a connection with Borussia Dortmund, Hao Ren's 17th birthday
As last month's league player of the month and this match's MVP, Hao Ren arrived at the mixed zone surrounded by reporters.
"This isn't the first Player of the Month award I've won, and I feel like I'll win it again. One or two, preferably two. I feel like I have a good chance because I can tell that the current Bundesliga 2 isn't particularly difficult for me."
"So you mean you're planning to win the Player of the Month award for April and May?"
"No! That's not what I meant. Listen carefully. I meant one or two, so it's possible to take only one. You weren't listening to Mr. Goodman."
Hao Ren criticized the reporter who interviewed him.
"Oh oh! Sorry!"
The reporter hurriedly apologized.
Goodman is a very strict player, and reporters must be careful when interviewing him, otherwise they will inevitably be contradicted.
Just as Hao Ren was earnestly explaining his perfect plan to win the Player of the Month award, the reporters in the audience suddenly started chattering, which aroused Hao Ren's curiosity.
"What's wrong?"
Click, click, click!
Reporters pointed their cameras at Hao Ren, and several cameras simultaneously flashed, almost blinding Hao Ren.
"We have just received news, Mr. Goodman, that Borussia Dortmund appears to have made an offer to you."
The previously noisy reporters quieted down, making the atmosphere in the interview area serious.
"this----"
Hao Ren did not speak.
His brothers are still celebrating in the locker room, and who knows, someone might be watching his interview.
How can we talk about Dortmund at a time like this!
Seeing Hao Ren hesitate, the reporter immediately became confident and pressed further, "Goodman? Can you please answer this? Is this story true?"
"I don't know either."
"But you followed Klopp's social media account a few days ago, and you even commented on it."
Reporters have excellent memories; they recall that Hao Ren once praised Klopp.
The most ridiculous thing is that Hao Ren has never even liked Rangnick's post!
"Actually, I just thought Dortmund performed very well in the Champions League Round of 16, so I gave them a thumbs up. It was purely out of appreciation, nothing more."
"As for the offer you mentioned, it might actually be true, but I'm not entirely sure about it right now. I've been busy researching Wolfsburg lately, you know, I'm planning to kill them."
Hao Ren avoided the question of a transfer.

Normally, the comment section would be full of things like "Hao Ren is awesome" and "Hao Ren has given out money" at this time.
But today's comment section on Dongqiudi is very different; everyone's attention has clearly been drawn to something else.
[Dortmund? Wouldn't Hao Qiuwang take off immediately?]
[Holy crap, it seems to be true. I just checked Twitter, and more than one journalist has mentioned this.]
[Wow, Borussia Dortmund has really made something of themselves, actually bidding for Mr. Goodman!]

Munich Evening News Special Issue—16-Year-Old 2nd Bundesliga Assist King? Who is the "Mr. Goodman" that Borussia Dortmund is pursuing?
The popularity of top teams is just that exaggerated. Because of the rumors linking them to Borussia Dortmund, more and more Bundesliga fans have come to know this mysterious "Mr. Goodman".
At 16 years old, he was already addressed as "Mr." by major newspapers, proving his abilities beyond question!
BVBRadio, the official radio station of Borussia Dortmund, was among the first to report on the rumors linking the team to a promising young German second division star.
"I just watched a highlight reel of 'Mr. Goodman' backstage. I still don't understand why he's called 'Mr.,' but that kid is really good."
Norbert Dicker, a Dortmund legend and well-known BVBRadio presenter, said: "At 16 years old, his ground duel success rate is over 80%, which is an incredible figure. An 80% physical duel success rate means that his physical talent is more than enough to support him playing in the Bundesliga."
It's often said that physical strength determines which league you play in, while technique determines which team you play for.
Dickel believes that Mr. Goodman's outstanding physical talent is why Klopp chose him.
"Yes, Norbert, physical strength is indeed one of Goodman's strengths; very few players can reach that level of physical strength at 16. Also, have you noticed how unique this player's technical characteristics are?"
"This is Dickel's assistant," Corrett said.
"Unusual technical features?"
Dickel looked at the camera with a surprised expression, and soon, the backstage staff played a compilation of Hao Ren's matches on the side screen.
"Goodman! Goodman is dribbling forward, and he doesn't seem to want to stop!"
"Gudman shoots! My God, Gudman ignored the defender, Leipzig equalizes!"
"————"
Dickel watched intently; as a Dortmund legend, he possessed excellent insight.
"Yes, just as I observed from behind, his advance is fierce. However—Corrett, you know, it's not unusual, just rare."
"No."
Krek shook his head: "Watch the second video. This is from the first half of 2014, when he was still in the German Third Division."
As he spoke, a new video started playing on the screen.
The new video quality is slightly worse, but you can still distinguish the specific players on the field.
Unlike the previous video, in this video, the Leipzig number 20 is constantly making runs and defending, and is almost never involved in the attack.
"That's what makes it special."
Crook squinted, sharing his findings in a mystical tone: "That's what makes Mr. Goodman so unpredictable. Just when you think he's a defensive player, he displays his offensive prowess. And when you think he's an offensive player, he tells you you're wrong!"
"After studying Leipzig's match data this season, I discovered a pattern: Goodman's cumulative defensive plays are positively correlated with his attacking ability. Simply put—the more he defends, the stronger his attack!"
"So that's it—wait a minute!"
Dickel suddenly froze: "What do you mean by 'the more defense, the stronger the offense'?"
Corrett smiled.
"I don't know either."
Twitter's top search terms in German-speaking regions:
3. The more you defend, the stronger your offense becomes.
4. Gudman Dortmund.
5. Complete metamorphosis.
12. Why is Goodman called Mr.?
4 month 10 day.
This is a great day because the great Mr. Goodman is celebrating his 17th birthday today!
Happy birthday to you
~"
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you!
'
Snap snap snap snap snap snap snap!
The Leipzig players applauded on the training field, and Hao Ren stood in the middle of the circle, clapping along with them.
"Wuhu!"
Kimmich raised his hand and gave Hao Ren a fist bump: "Happy birthday, Good!"
Hao Ren stomped his feet on the spot, warming up for the upcoming training. "I feel great right now. Maybe this is the power of being 17."
"What? Then why didn't I feel this way when I was 17?"
Kimmich nudged Hao Ren.
Before Hao Ren could answer, Paulson walked over and asked, "Joshua, is your 17 the same age as Mr. Goodman's 17?"
"Oh!"
Kimmich suddenly realized, "Okay, I was too arrogant. I need to apologize to Mr. Goodman!"
Kimmich stretched out his hands and pretended to kowtow to Hao Ren.
I don't know when it started, but he really enjoyed doing this action.
Vlaan confronted Poulsen, saying, "You're disgusting! You're praising Gudman like this just because of a few goals."
After teasing Poulsen, Vlaan spread his hands towards Hao Ren: "Mr. Goodman, if I didn't praise you like Youssef did, would I have gotten a chance in the match?"
Hao Ren did not speak.
Hey! Come on!
Flann quickly approached, looking aggrieved.
"Ha ha!"
"Just kidding."
Hao Ren and Vlaan started shoving each other.
"Alright, alright! Stop celebrating!"
Rangnick interrupted the Leipzig players who were joking around, pointing to the timer hanging on the training field: "Watch the time!"
At the urging of the two coaches, the players quickly gathered in front of Rangnick.
"Tomorrow is our match against Wolfsburg, and I've told you about this match more than once."
As Rangnick said, Leipzig made a lot of tactical preparations in preparation for the quarter-final against Wolfsburg.
"I can now name all 20 Wolfsburg players."
Hao Ren nudged Kimmich next to him with his elbow and whispered.
For some reason, Rangnick overheard what Hao Ren said.
"Twenty player names? My esteemed Mr. Goodman, do you win games by memorizing names?"
"Ha ha!"
"Hahaha!"
Rangnick's question made Hao Ren involuntarily take a step back: "No, sir."
Rangnick patted Hao Ren on the shoulder: "If nothing unexpected happens, our Mr. Goodman has become Wolfsburg's research subject, so tomorrow's match may be more difficult than you think."
Hao Ren frowned in thought: "So, am I the key to tomorrow?"
"Wow? You think so?"
Rangnick feigned surprise: "In my experience, many players perform well on their birthdays. If our game against Wolfsburg were today, Mr. Goodman would have led us to victory."
"Hahaha!"
"Ralph has been making fun of me a lot lately, it's disgusting. You know, Chicken Bro, Ralph is no good guy."
After training, Hao Ren and Kimmich walked towards the cafeteria.
"Haha, looking at it from another angle, you're definitely the first player Ralf has ever called 'Mr.' No one else has received that treatment."
"Okay, that's true. I just don't understand why he's been making fun of me lately."
"Um--
Kimmich pondered, then suddenly touched his chin: "Could it be because of the Dortmund situation?"
When the topic turned to Dortmund, the two men suddenly slowed their pace, and Kimmich even turned to stare directly at Hao Ren beside him, asking, "So, Gudmund, you're leaving after this season to go to Dortmund?"
"...
—
Hao Ren remained silent for a while, but finally admitted it.
After all, there were no reporters around, so he didn't need to hide anything.
Kimmich sighed, then shrugged matter-of-factly. "If it were me, I'd also like to go to Dortmund. After all, it's Dortmund."
After those words were spoken, the air around them seemed to freeze, and the environment became eerily quiet.
"Brother Chicken, stop talking. The season isn't over yet. We're going to win the championship."
"Haha, are you talking about the 2. Bundesliga title or the German Cup title? The German Cup title is not that easy to win."
Hao Ren shrugged: "You know I'm talking about the 2nd Bundesliga title. But—actually, winning the German Cup isn't impossible, is it?"
"Wow!!! What did you say? So how are you going to attack Wolfsburg tomorrow?"
Hao Ren shoved Kimmich from behind, his tone fierce: "Beat him up."
"Oh—fuck!"
"Duang!"
"Duang!"
In the gym, Hao Ren laboriously put the barbell back in its place.
The Leipzig midfielders, having finished training, couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed after not hearing the system's announcement for a long time.
The difficulty of improving physical strength increases significantly after the age of 80. According to Hao Ren's analysis, a large part of the reason should be due to his age.
Hao Ren just turned 17 today; he's only 17 years old at most, and his bones and muscles aren't even fully developed yet.
When you're fully developed, you'll naturally encounter a bottleneck when trying to improve your body stats.
The good thing is that he's playing in the second division now, where his physical strength of 80 is not only sufficient, but even a bit overpowered.
Now we just have to wait until tomorrow!
Hao Ren took a sip of his sports drink and looked up at the ceiling in silence.
Wolfsburg, Wolfsburg —
Match Preview: RB Leipzig vs. Wolfsburg on April 11th, the sole Bundesliga 4 representative faces off against the second-placed Bundesliga team.
"Ernest Talks Soccer 7—What's the Price of Rapid Development? 17 Years Old May Be the Key Turn for Goodman's Decline!"
"As we all know, Goodman is one of the few players in football who fits the theory of abnormal development, and he is also a representative player of this theory. Today, Goodman celebrated his birthday and officially turned 17."
"Based on the experience of complete metamorphosis, 17-year-old Goodman will undergo new changes. I and other experts from Bild agree that Goodman will become weaker after physical development."
-
During the program, Erend presented a large amount of data, not only analyzing Hao Ren, but also analyzing the teams Leipzig and Wolfsburg from beginning to end.
Therefore, I am giving my score prediction for the RB Leipzig vs. VfL Wolfsburg match.
"Leipzig lost 1-4 to Wolfsburg, and 'Mr. Great Goodman' shed tears on the field."
