Tears even threatened to well up in his eyes.
He couldn't understand that loss of control.
Much later, he reflected on it and thought that perhaps it was a resonance that came from his very bloodline.
He shared the same hair and skin color as the Chinese player on the live broadcast; they shared the same blood.
So, when he saw that Chinese player score, he couldn't help but cheer for him.
From that night on, he was completely hooked on the Bundesliga!
He started to learn about that player, Dortmund's number 9, Wang Shuo.
He was astonished to discover just how inspirational the player's story was. Despite being rejected by 18 German teams and facing all sorts of discrimination, he had never given up.
In the end, he made his breakthrough at Mainz!
And last season, Wang Shuo and Mainz had elevated each other. They even defeated the juggernaut Bayern in the DFB-Pokal final!
It was nothing short of a miracle!
