Such worries were completely unfounded.
From Shen Qinghe to the rest of the team, including Thomas Essien, everyone was there to serve Wang Shuo. He was their core asset.
That was why, in the world of professional football, a player could change agents with just a word.
'So, what did Wang Shuo have to fear?'
...
Wang Shuo had been absolutely right.
The day after the Atletico Madrid match, Klopp sought out Wang Shuo and told him he wouldn't be traveling with the team for the weekend's away game against Nuremberg.
It wasn't just him; several other players, including Shahin, Sven Bender, and Kuba, also wouldn't be traveling to the away game.
"Next Thursday, at the Madrid Calderon Stadium, we have to give it our all and win!"
Klopp was determined.
Wang Shuo didn't need to be told; he was just as determined.
Wang Shuo, for his part, felt that even if he played the away game against Nuremberg, it wouldn't affect his performance against Atletico Madrid next Thursday.
