“PANG! PANG! PANG ...... "Many fans at the Signal Park Stadium in Iduna are shouting the name of the fat man, these fans are supporters of the fat man, they have witnessed the strong strength of the fat man, it can be said that the new European golden boy led the team to destroy the difficult bone of Union Berlin without much effort.

The fat man did that trademark goalscoring gesture again, and then waved to the fans who supported him.
"Dude, your header is so handsome!" Dembele said with a smile.
"Pang, your header is beautiful!" Castro came in to join in the fun.
"Man, your pass is fantastic!" The fat man said to Castro.
The three of them hooked their shoulders, talked and laughed, and walked back together. Although it was the fat man who scored the goal, Dembele and Castro also scored an assist each in the fat man's goal, which was a happy result.
"Boris, do you see, Pong's relationship with his teammates is getting better and better, and everyone likes him very much......" Dicker said with a smile.
"I also like Pang very much, if I were twenty years younger, I would also like to be teammates with Pang, and it would be very comfortable to play with Pang...... he said," Rupert said with a smile.
"Boris, I don't know if you don't feel it, Pang seems to be getting stronger again......" Dicker whispered.
"Of course I feel it, I'm a big fan of Pang, and I feel like Pang didn't use ......his full strength in this game," Rupert broke the news.
"This European Golden Boy Award has given Pang a huge boost to his self-confidence!" Dicker sighed.
Union Berlin head coach Jens Keller couldn't help but smile wryly when he saw his team collapse in the space of eight minutes. Coach Jens Keller knew that there was a big gap between his team and Dortmund in terms of strength, but he didn't expect his team to collapse so quickly after Dortmund replaced the new European golden boy.
'Europe's Golden Boy...... Europe's golden boy, this young man's ability is indeed strong......' Jens Keller stared at the tall figure on the court, his eyes full of envy.
After the restart, Union Berlin abandoned the counter-offensive. Dortmund also cooperated and did not continue to attack. For Borussia Dortmund, it is the least expensive game to win this game, as they will beat Schalke 04 in the Ruhr derby three days later. The final score was fixed at 3-1, and Dortmund narrowed the risk to reach the third round of the German Cup.
"This is really a game of first suppression and then promotion, the first 80 minutes of foreshadowing, just for the last 10 minutes of the explosion, very exciting, but really not enjoyable!" Dicker concluded, "Looking at the whole game, although the two teams contributed four goals, it was really not exciting, but the result was not bad for Dortmund...... Congratulations to Borussia Dortmund for advancing to the third round of the German Cup, and congratulations to Pang for scoring his fourth goal in the German Cup......"
"For the first 80 minutes of this game, my summary is: the organization is messy, the mistakes are constant, it is really not exciting; For the last ten minutes of the game, my summary is two sentences: the first sentence is that gold always shines; In the second sentence, every coin has two sides, giving others a chance, but also giving yourself a chance......" Rupert said lightly.
After the game, the fat man did not attend the post-match press conference, but was interviewed by local reporters in Dortmund in the mixed interview area of the stadium.
"Pang, congratulations on scoring two goals in this game and leading the team to the final victory, what do you want to say about this game?" The reporter asked.
"It was a tough game because there were a lot of players in the squad who couldn't play because of injuries, but in the end we achieved our pre-match goal and got to the third round of the German Cup, and that's the most important ......thing," said the fat man, calm.
"Pang, since you signed with Mr. Mendes, many German media have predicted that you may leave Dortmund next summer, is that true?" The reporter continued to ask.
"I don't know, next year is a bit too far away for me, I'm only focused on playing football at the moment, and as for transfers, you'd better ask my agent, Mr. Mendes......" replied the fat man.
"So have you ever thought about staying in Dortmund for a long time?" The reporter asked again.
"If it's fun to play here, why not!" The fat man said with a smile.
The fat man only answered a few questions and left, because the reporters are now particularly concerned about the transfer of the fat man, and the fat man is afraid that he will accidentally expose his thoughts in front of the reporters, so the interview ended in less than three minutes. The fat man believes that Mendes will help him with everything, and all he has to do is play well.
The post-match press conference was uneventful, with Thomas Tuchel explaining as usual why the fat man came off the bench.
'I know the fans want the new European golden boy to play, but I have to take responsibility for the health of Pom, who has been injured twice recently, so I have to be more careful when I use him again...... Tuchel coached to reporters.
However, Union Berlin manager Jens Keller left a surprising message in the final moments of the interview.
"If we also have a European golden boy in our squad, it will be Union Berlin who will win, and in terms of this game, we are only one European golden boy away from Borussia Dortmund." Coach Jens Keller said.
Coach Jens Keller said this, undoubtedly expressing that he was not convinced. However, when Tuchel heard this, he felt that his opponent was sarcastic. This made Coach Tuchel very angry, but he was helpless, because the opponent was telling the truth, if it wasn't for the new European golden boy who turned the tide in the end and helped Dortmund win, what would have happened in the end, in fact, Tuchel coach has no bottom of his psychology.
Borussia Dortmund CEO Watzke did not go to the game, but he sat in front of the TV and watched the game in its entirety. Originally, he was in charge of the daily operation and management of the club, and he rarely had time to watch the game completely, but today, under the stimulation of Mendes, Watzke watched the whole game overtime.
Watzke did this just to find out more, especially the comments of the two commentators, who provided him with a lot of useful information.
'Chinese boys have to be reused, that's what Europe's golden boys should be, and as for Tuchel's side, I won't interfere with his work, but I can put pressure on him in other ways on behalf of the club to have to reuse Chinese boys......' Watzke came up with a solution.
'Sala, you go and call Tuchel and tell him to come to my office after the post-match press conference......,' Wacz commanded.
Tuchel was already a little angry after the press conference because of coach Jens Keller's comments, and he was even more angry when he was notified by the club. Because after the press conference, it was already ten o'clock in the evening, and at this time he went to the club to see Watzk, and he returned home at least midnight.
By the time Tuchel drove to the team's training base, the club's staff had all left work, but the office of the club's chief executive, Mr Watzke, was still lit, and this was the destination of the coach's trip.
On his way here, Thomas Tuchel has been wondering why the club boss is looking for him, as the two usually don't cross paths. The most interacting with Tuchel coach is his immediate boss, Borussia Dortmund FC sporting director Zorc Zolke. Coach Tuchel, who couldn't figure it out, simply didn't want to think about it, anyway, he would know when he met.
"Mr. Watzke, are you looking for me?" Tuchel asked quietly.
'Yes, Coach Tuchel!' "Please sit down, I'm sorry to call you so late, but I have something important to talk to you about!" ”
"No, you're so kind, it's my pleasure to meet you!" Coach Tuchel humbly said.
"It should be Zolke who is docking with you, but I think it is better for me to talk to you in person about today's words, and I want to tell you some of the club's thoughts clearly!" Watzke said seriously.
"Speak, please." Tuchel looked serious.
"The first thing I want to tell you is about the European Golden Boy Award, what do you think about that?" Watzke asked.
"Although the European Golden Boy Award is an individual award, it is also an honour for the club and it is worth celebrating...... In fact, as soon as the players and I found out about Pang's win, we congratulated him......" said Tuchel slowly.
"Very good, since you also agree with the European Golden Boy Award, it will be easy to do." Watzke cast an appreciative look, "Tonight, I discussed the matter with the sporting director Zorke, and decided to give great publicity to Pang winning the European Golden Boy Award to expand our club's influence in Europe, so I hope you and the players can cooperate with the club's publicity and give Pang enough support in an interview with the media, after all, this is the second European golden boy that our club has come out of......"
"Good...... Okay" Coach Tuchel agreed, but his heart was as disgusting as a fly, and it was too hard for him to praise the Chinese boy.
"The second thing I'm going to tell you is about Pang's agent, Mendes, what do you think about that?" Watzke continued.
Seeing Mr. Watske ask again what he thinks, Tuchel secretly complained. He didn't want to answer these questions, but he didn't dare to refuse, so he had to say something against his will.
Mendes is a big European agent, and it was a lucky thing that Pang Neng was signed by him...... In the future, the club's communication with Pang is expected to be smoother......" Tuchel replied hesitantly.
"It's not that Pang was signed by him because of a lucky thing, it's Mendes who signed Pang is a lucky thing, Mendes flew from Lisbon to Dortmund in order to sign Pang, and Mendes is the lucky party for this signing." Watzke corrected, "And after Mendes signed Pang, Pang's communication with the club was not smoother, but even less smooth......"
"Ah, it's even more uncomfortable, why do you say that?" Tuchel was puzzled.
"Mendes came to visit the club in the evening and said something very excessive, and this guy came here to get us in trouble......" Watzke said angrily.
"Looking for trouble, why?" Tuchel continued.
'He complained to the club that his clients were not treated with enough respect and fairness, let's change the situation as soon as possible, otherwise his clients will be looking for a transfer, it's not ......looking for trouble,' Watzke said angrily.
"It's really troublesome, how can he say that?" Coach Tuchel echoed.
Mendes is really qualified to say that, because he is a predator in Europe and has a lot of influence in the European football market. If his client is not doing well, we can ignore his unreasonable demands, but if his client is doing well, we can't ignore his opinion, because he can always put out some unfavorable remarks against our club through the media, which can cause some problems for our club operation......" Watzke continued, "so my advice to you is that if his client behaves well, you have to give his client more opportunities to play......"
'It's not just the performance that determines whether a player plays or not, there are other factors and Mendes is completely interfering with the work of our club when he says that......,' the Tuchel coach countered.
"Other factors, what other factors?" Watzke spoke suddenly.
"That's it...... Injuries like injuries and of course there are some similar factors...... ' explained the Tuchel coach.
"You're the manager, and you've thought more about these things than I do, so I'm not going to interfere with your work, but I hope you can be careful in your decisions and don't cause unnecessary trouble for the club's operation......," Watzke said in a warning tone.
"Okay, I'...... I understand! Coach Tuchel said helplessly.
"The third thing I want to tell you is about some contradictions between you and Zolke." Watzke spoke again, "I know that you have some disagreements with him in terms of recruiting this season, and this is the source of your conflict. But this kind of thing is very common in the Bundesliga, so there's no fuss. What I want to say to you is that I hope you can put aside your prejudices and work together because at the end of the day, you two are a community of interests. It's the team's results that decide your fate, good grades, both of you have jobs, bad grades, you both are unlucky together, so I hope you and Zolke can seriously think about this......"
'I'll seriously consider it......' said Tuchel in a low voice.
'The fourth thing I want to tell you is about the team's goals for this season. Watzke continued, "Last season, we finished double and this season the club aims to go to the next level and break through on three fronts. Before the start of the season, Gundogan, Hummels, Mkhitaryan and other players in the team left, but we also spent 150 million euros on reinforcements, so the minimum goal for the club this season is to win a title on three fronts, which is also the minimum requirement for the club to execute a third year contract with you......"
'I see what you mean, Mr. Watzke, I'm here to be the title and I'm going to lead the team to the title,' said Tuchel'......s coach.
'Very good, Coach Tuchel, I and the club will fully support you in your work...... 'Watzke encouraged.
"Thank you for your support, Mr. Watzke." Coach Tuchel is thrilled.
"The last thing I'm going to tell you is about Pang." Watzke said slowly, "In fact, the first four things are all related to Pang, Pang is the winner of the European Golden Boy Award, Pang is a customer of Mendes, Pang is a focal point of the conflict between you and Zolke, and Pang is also the key to whether Dortmund can make a breakthrough this season, especially the last one, I feel the same way, because I watched tonight's game ......"
Thomas Tuchel came out of the base with a groggy head and Borussia Dortmund boss Mr Watzke talked a lot about him, but in the end there was only one goal, that is, he had to rely on the Chinese boys, and he had to give the European golden boy a chance, otherwise he could risk being sacked.
In fact, Tuchel's coach wanted the club to sign German international Gomez, but the club rejected Gomez's request on the grounds of his age, which also caused him to have a conflict with Zolke.
'What the hell am I going to do?' Do I really have to change my mind because of pressure from the club's hierarchy? Coach Tuchel was at a loss.
