Chapter 1.1: The Supreme Ruler? Su Bai, Like a God Descending to Earth!

Wednesday morning.
Su Bai still got up at five.
After more than two hours of extra training, he took a car to the club.
Borussia Dortmund's entrance was still packed with reporters.
These past few days, Borussia Dortmund—no!
It should have been all of Germany—had nearly gone mad with arguments.
There was no other reason. Su Bai's 1vs10 challenge was simply too explosive.
This could no longer be called looking down on Japanese players.
It was outright humiliation of Japanese players.
After all, Germany had around five hundred thousand people of Japanese descent.
And needless to say, people from Japan were famously united.
With Japanese players taking the lead and Japanese fans joining in, anti-Su fan associations had begun forming in multiple German cities.
This was the first time such a bizarre scene had appeared in world football.
On top of that, this weekend's match would be a showdown between Su Bai and Japanese player Takashi Inui.
In an instant, what had been an ordinary eighth-round Bundesliga match became a battle of dignity for Japanese fans to prove the standard of Japanese football.
"Su! Takashi Inui of Eintracht Frankfurt has already told reporters that Frankfurt will teach you a harsh lesson at their home stadium!"
The moment the car arrived at the club entrance, the reporters swarmed around it like madmen.
But Su Bai had no intention of saying anything to them.
Besides, Su Bai knew Takashi Inui would never dare say something like that to reporters. These damn reporters were obviously trying to bait him into saying something!
What did they take him for?
Some loudmouth?
Pah!
Seeing the car surrounded, the security guards at Borussia Dortmund's entrance hurried over and pushed away the overexcited reporters.
The car drove into the parking lot.
Su Bai got out with his bag slung over his shoulder.
At that moment, Marvin Ducksch suddenly walked over.
"Hi! Su, what a coincidence!"
Normally, Su Bai had barely interacted with fringe player Marvin Ducksch. Even when they met, they would only exchange a casual greeting.
But ever since Su Bai had helped Marvin Ducksch get the first assist of his professional career, Marvin Ducksch seemed to have suddenly changed, always wanting to stick close to Su Bai.
According to Marvin Ducksch, ever since he had sent that assist to Su Bai, he had felt as though he had been born to pass to Su Bai.
Whenever he wanted to pass the ball to Su Bai, the pass was absolutely world-class!
It was like he had turned on cheats!
Skillfully taking the bag from Su Bai's hand, Marvin Ducksch chatted with Su Bai with a smile as they headed to the locker room together.
Well then!
This bond effect from the system could even find him a lackey?
Eight thirty!
More or less all the first-team players had arrived.
Reus's injury had finally fully healed.
Other than Sahin, Klopp had finally seen a relatively complete squad.
Ever since the match ended, Klopp had been thinking about how to set up a tactical system that could fully unleash Su Bai's attacking potential.
After staying up all night yesterday, Klopp had finally come up with an initial tactical concept.
Still 4-4-1-1!
Su Bai would play behind Robert Lewandowski.
Reus was on his left, while Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang or Marvin Ducksch was on his right.
Behind him were Sahin and Sven Bender, or İlkay Gündoğan and Sven Bender.
Defensively, with the help of the two wide midfielders, Su Bai could form Borussia Dortmund's first line of midfield defense.
And in attack!
Su Bai became a free-roaming player in the final third.
Everyone had to make immediate positional switches around Su Bai's movement.
Seeing that all the players had arrived, Klopp instructed Phyllis to go over the A-team and B-team lineups.
This time, it was Aubameyang's group.
But once the internal practice match began, the problems emerged.
Reus was fine. In the tactical system where he had previously switched positions with Su Bai, he had already fully understood all of his tactical assignments.
But Aubameyang was different.
Once he received the ball, Aubameyang would simply charge forward with it.
Charging forward was all well and good.
But his crosses were completely ineffective, and he simply did not mesh with Su Bai.
His finishing ability was decent enough.
But with Aubameyang on the pitch, Su Bai's role as a free-roaming attacker became awkward and ineffective.
Su Bai, Reus, and Aubameyang had virtually no coordination in attack, while Robert Lewandowski stood alone up front with nothing to do.
Seeing that Aub
