Super Aono

Inside the Sports Channel studio, even Duan Xuan, who had seen plenty of big occasions, was stumbling over his words. He was simply too excited.

It was fair to say that since he had started broadcasting the Bundesliga, since he had started broadcasting football, this was the happiest night he had ever had.

"Just now, I found a stat. Chen Anno has broken the Bundesliga record for the youngest goalscorer!"

"At 17 years and 75 days old, he has broken the record set eight years ago by his senior—and his teammate in this match—Nuri Sahin, who scored in the Bundesliga at 17 years and 82 days!"

"At the same time, Chen Anno is also third on the list of the youngest players ever to appear in the Bundesliga, and the two ahead of him were both his predecessors at Borussia Dortmund.

"Number one is still Nuri Sahin. On August 6, 2005, Sahin, only 16 years and 335 days old, appeared for Borussia Dortmund and became the youngest player to play in Bundesliga history.

"And ranked second is Ghanaian player Ibrahim Tanko. On September 4, 1994, at 17 years and 61 days old, he represented Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga."

"Chen Anno! Today, not only has he broken the Bundesliga record for the youngest goalscorer, he has also become the first player in Bundesliga history to score four goals on his debut!"

Duan Xuan's excited voice trembled, and there was also a hint of heartache in it.

Chen Anno had once been our player!

Because just now, he had used his phone to contact a friend and ask about Chen Anno's details. He had learned that Chen Anno had already switched back to Brazilian nationality and that it was completely impossible for him to return.

So his heart ached! He regretted it!

The match on the pitch was still going on, but the downcast Duan Xuan no longer wanted to speak.

Fortunately, the referee seemed to sense some mysterious power coming from the distant East, and soon blew the final whistle.

In sharp contrast to his mood, Westfalenstadion had already become a sea of joy.

The fans shouted "Anno" at the tops of their lungs. This wonderkid had brought them far too many surprises today.

Fans were forgetful, and they were sentimental too!

But at this moment, Borussia Dortmund's fans were forgetful!

They had already forgotten that "Super Mario" who had made them both love and hate him, because they had welcomed another "Super Anno"!

A "Super Anno" even better and younger than "Super Mario"!

After tonight, everyone would know that Borussia Dortmund had produced another young genius!

"Well done! Anno!"

Klopp gave Chen Anno a huge hug, his right hand constantly slapping him on the back, nearly making Chen Anno cough.

In the locker room, when Chen Anno walked in holding the small Man of the Match trophy, he was drenched by the mineral water his teammates sprayed all over him.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang ruffled his hair, threw an arm around Chen Anno, and laughed loudly. "You little rascal, Anno. You completely overshadowed my debut hat trick! Next time, you're not allowed to steal my spotlight like that!"

Chen Anno rolled his eyes. "Pierre, why don't you mention that I gave you such a good pass and you were the one who wasted it?"

"Hahaha..."

The locker room was filled with joy!

That night, Chen Anno slept exceptionally soundly!

He had a beautiful dream. He dreamed that Borussia Dortmund won the Bundesliga title, that his teammates tossed him into the sky, and up there he saw the brilliantly lit city of Dortmund. He saw the brightest star of all—that was Westfalenstadion!

He also heard more than eighty thousand people shouting his name at the same time. In that moment, it was as if he had draped a yellow robe over his shoulders, placed a crown upon his head, and become the king of Westfalen.

"Seventeen-year-old genius bursts onto the scene! Anno Chen scores four on his debut, breaking the Bundesliga record for youngest goalscorer! His four goals covered a turnover and counterattack, a solo breakthrough, a free kick, and a poacher's follow-up, displaying his all-around technique and astonishing talent!"

—Ruhr Nachrichten

"Phenomenal debut! With four goals, Anno Chen has announced that the Bundesliga has welcomed a super talent! His performance reminded us of that alien Ronaldo when he first arrived in Europe!"

—Bild

"Westfalen lost their Super Mario, but welcomed a Super Anno! Anno Chen's performance conquered the most terrifying devil's home ground in all of Europe!"

—Kicker

Smack!!

A newspaper was slapped straight onto Bayern Munich sporting director Sammer's face, and the person who had thrown it was none other than Bayern Munich's current chairman, Hoeness.

"This is what you meant when you said you would definitely bring him to Bayern Munich in next summer's window? This is what you meant by having everything under control?"

Hoeness's face was ashen. They had clearly been the first to contact Chen Anno, yet now he had been snatched away by their mortal enemy, Borussia Dortmund. Even more infuriating was that the boy had scored four goals on his debut at Borussia Dortmund's home ground, and now he was famous throughout the entire Bundesliga!

Hoeness was furious right now!

This situation was like setting his sights on a beautiful woman, having already arranged the marriage, and already happily imagining their wonderful life after the wedding...

Only to suddenly learn that this beautiful woman had already gotten a marriage certificate with Old Wang next door—and even had a child!

Who could take that? Where was Bayern Munich supposed to put its pride?

"Mr. Chairman, I really didn't know..."

Shhk...!!

Before Sammer could finish speaking, Hoeness swept all the documents on the desk to the floor.

"Get out...!!!"

While Chen Anno was still lost in sweet dreams, sports media back home were still burning the midnight oil, working overtime.

Early the next morning, almost every sports section was filled with news of Chen Anno's Bundesliga debut.

[Four goals in his Bundesliga debut!]

'Chen Anno's success proves that Chinese people do not lack football talent; what they lack is a fair environment! It is hard to imagine that a player like this, here with us, actually failed to get a chance in an official match for two whole years. After last night's match, we have every reason to believe that Chen Anno will one day become a world-class star—if he has not already left...'

----Soccer News

[From castoff of the national youth team to Bundesliga rising star! Chen Anno shocks Europe!]

----Titan Sports

The article in Titan Sports gave a detailed review of Chen Anno's journey, from the unfair treatment he had suffered back home and his wrongful removal from the squad, to his fresh start at Sao Paulo, and then his debut for Borussia Dortmund.

There was no need to elaborate on all of that here, but between the lines, it was filled with a proud sense of sharing in his glory.

Online, the topic of Chen Anno shot up the trending list, with views and comments soaring in a straight line.

[Holy shit! With that speed, he can keep up with Gareth Bale from Real Madrid, right? We can actually develop someone at this level?]

[One word! Awesome! I've watched football for decades, and this really is the first time I've seen one of our players pull off skills this insane!]

[Hahaha... Are the two upstairs idiots? Watched football for decades? You don't even know Chen Anno. Are you sure you haven't been watching a sport with two balls instead?]

[I'm dying, two balls? Upstairs, you owe me a soy milk. I sprayed it right in the lady boss's face!]

[Who is Chen Anno? Never heard of him. Someone explain, please.]

[You don't even know Chen Anno? Go buy a copy of Titan Sports. It explains everything about what happened to him back home, clear as day.]

[To be honest, seeing Chen Anno's performance makes me both happy and sad. It feels kind of rough.]

[Do you guys think Chen Anno still has a chance to come back? Didn't they already crack down once before? The parasites have all been cleared out, so he should be able to come back, right?]

[Hehe... Better forget it. How many crackdowns has it been already? Has anything changed?]

[I support Chen Anno, whether he comes back or not!]
