'So this is what a superstar is like.'
Wang Shuo sat on his seat in the locker room, a thick bath towel draped over his head.
The rain outside was coming down harder and harder, and everyone was soaked to the bone.
Back in the locker room, the first order of business was to quickly dry off, change into dry clothes, and get warm.
After all, there was still the second half to play.
But Wang Shuo was lost in thought, replaying that display of individual brilliance from Ribery just before the end of the first half.
Wang Shuo had seen similar clips online.
Even lots of highlight reels.
Not just of Ribery, but also of Messi, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Kaka, and others.
But none of those could compare to the breathtaking impact of seeing it live with his own eyes.
'This is what a superstar is!'
Back in the locker room, Bungert immediately apologized.
He really hadn't meant to commit the foul.
