While fans gathered on Chinese football forums in ever-increasing numbers, their desire to watch the matches live growing more intense, Wang Shuo, far away in Mainz, Germany, was suffering through Klopp's torment.
Torment!
That was how the Mainz first-team players described Klopp's training.
The intensity was just too high!
Many of the first-team players competing with Wang Shuo for a spot had initially been content to sit back and watch the show, hoping to see the rookie from the U19 team get absolutely crushed by Klopp's training.
Ideally, he would run back to the U19 team in tears.
But the outcome left them disappointed.
Not only did Wang Shuo adapt to the first team's training intensity, but his performance was steadily improving.
This was especially true in the second week, after the match against Frankfurt U19.
Wang Shuo had even managed to unlock some new Skills.
