Football: Starting from the Ronaldinho template

Chapter 115 Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather continuing to move forward in the face of fear! Fight like a man.
The impact of being outnumbered was amplified by Tottenham's relentless pressing.

"Seven Tottenham players have pushed into the other half, showing no fear of Wolfsburg's counterattack!"

"Bentaleb's long diagonal pass, is Lamela going to cut inside?!"

"no!"

"Pass it straight to Harry Kane!"

White Hart Lane Stadium.

The cheers of the Tottenham fans grew louder and louder; they couldn't wait to see a goal, to see the score equalized.

Harry Kane remained calm inside the penalty area.

He is a player with a big heart.

His first Premier League goal this season had a bit of a movie "Goal!" feel to it.

In the 89th minute of the match against Aston Villa, a direct free kick helped Tottenham complete a dramatic comeback and secure a last-minute victory.

Then, he scored against strong teams such as Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool.

A last-minute victory against Limassol in the Europa League, and a last-minute win against Arsenal in the league.

At that moment, he knew he had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Then we can't waste it!

Harry Kane feigned a shot, and after Klose was tricked into blocking the shot, he gently flicked the ball to the outside.

Bang! Only then did he unleash a furious shot.

Benaglio, standing in front of the goal, had no time to react and could only watch helplessly as the ball went into the net.

2-1! ! !

Tottenham have completed the comeback and leveled the aggregate score!
"Come on, Spurs!" The entire White Hart Lane erupted in cheers, the Tottenham fans' shouts seemingly about to lift the stadium roof off.

They were flushed with joy, reveling in the thrill of scoring a goal.

"The king's of white hart lane!"

Tottenham fans sang the team's anthem.

We are the kings of White Hart Lane!

Here they always manage to turn defeat into victory, leaving their opponents with no choice but to leave disappointed.

Harry Kane was incredibly excited after scoring the goal. He's only 21 years old this year, yet he's already scored crucial goals in many key matches.

Today, they won twice.

genius?

Previously, various media outlets had been praising Qin Ming extensively.

He wouldn't be jealous of the other person.

It was just that his youthful pride made him want to tell the world that he was just as excellent.

"Come on!" Harry Kane pumped his fist wildly toward the stands, igniting the passion of Tottenham fans.

"One more goal!"

"No need to drag the game into overtime!"

"Charge, Tottenham!"

His teammates ran over from behind to celebrate the equalizing goal together.

Kyle Walker was the most excited, as he had been humiliated in both games and was used as a backdrop several times.

But if we can win, then none of that matters.

Because people only remember the winners; everything about the losers is forgotten.

On the sidelines, Pochettino high-fived his assistant coach, his face beaming with undisguised excitement.

In fact, he had a premonition that a goal would be scored when Knoch was sent off with a red card.

But when the time actually came, I was still very excited.

Having completed the comeback, Tottenham's mentality will definitely be elevated to a new level, which will be helpful in subsequent matches.

Maybe they can go all out and win the Europa League title.

There are similar examples in history.

For example, Chelsea in the 2011-12 season, after coming back from behind to defeat Napoli in the Champions League Round of 16, persevered all the way to the Champions League final and defeated Bayern Munich in a penalty shootout to win the title.

Pochettino couldn't help but imagine himself lifting the Europa League trophy.

On the other side, Dieter Black Gold took off his glasses and rubbed his face vigorously.

"We need a goal."

After a moment, he said in a deep voice.

Tottenham's morale is rising, while Wolfsburg's is falling.

Only a goal can change the situation.

“Boss.” Thorn-Lockhoff hesitated, his expression bitter.

Like him were the Wolfsburg fans at the stadium.

"I feel like Wolfsburg is going to lose."

Mitchell's voice was low.

"Impossible! They're definitely going to win, I'm sure of it!"

Bright continued to cheer with great enthusiasm, even though her clear voice had become hoarse.

She wasn't the only one in the away stands; other fans hadn't given up and were still waving their arms in support.

Their actions gradually influenced others.

Hey! Are you all less capable than a little girl? Get your mouths out of your way!

Fight like a man!

"VFL! VFL! VFL!"

"."

The away stands erupted in cheers once again.

Qin Ming, who was on the field, was struck by what he heard. Football has many charms.

But what's the most fascinating thing about it?
Everyone has a different answer.

Qin Ming enjoys the joy that football brings.

I also enjoy playing with like-minded teammates and fighting relentlessly for victory.

Other Wolfsburg players shared the same sentiment.

They are not the strongest players in every position; they are like small pieces of a puzzle, not particularly outstanding when taken out individually.

But when they are put together, they can create a magnificent scene.

This is something they firmly believe.

As Hemingway said: Courage is not the absence of fear, but the ability to go on despite fear.

If a team can only play when it's winning, it will never go far.

Because no one can always have smooth sailing.

Setbacks always happen unexpectedly.

"Go for it!" Qin Ming glanced at the scoreboard, clenched his fist, and roared.

The spirit, being such an ethereal and intangible thing, can never be materialized.

But it allows people to truly feel it.

"Stabilize the defense in the backcourt first. Their offensive intensity is decreasing, which should be due to insufficient physical reserves."

De Bruyne remained calm, saying, "Let's adapt to their rhythm first, and then look for opportunities around the 65th minute."

Although he has a bad temper on the field, it doesn't mean he can't think rationally.

On the contrary, his brain was constantly at the juncture of excitement and calm.

De Bruyne's words were soon proven true.

Tottenham, who had battled West Ham United, relied entirely on willpower to hold on under intense pressing and running.

Wolfsburg, with their compressed defensive formation, demonstrated a high level of cohesion.

They gradually adapted to Tottenham's attacking intensity.

In the 61st minute of the match, Eriksen had the ball in midfield and had just passed it to Kyle Walker.

Qin Ming rushed up and harassed him closely.

Kyle Walker's technique was already rough, and with Qin Ming limiting his speed, he could only hurriedly pass the ball.

But before Paulinho could even receive the ball, he was knocked aside by Gustavo.

"Wolfsburg's defense is noticeably more resolute!"

"They've regained possession; can they launch a counter-attack?"

"What a pity! Gustavo's long diagonal pass was a bit too long, and Perisic couldn't reach the ball!"

"The momentum is back in Tottenham's hands!"

At this moment, the Tottenham players were in a state of excitement and subconsciously overlooked certain details.

Five minutes later, Danny Rose tangled with Tresch and passed the ball across the middle just before it went out of bounds.

Bentaleb chipped the ball into the penalty area without stopping it.

They even found Harry Kane, who's on fire!
But Benaglio was highly focused and took the initiative to punch the ball away with both fists!
"VFL!!!" Wolfsburg fans continued to pump their fists in support, even though their numbers were small and their voices were drowned out by Tottenham fans.

De Bruyne got the second ball, turned around while carrying Paulinho, and with his head down, he made a diagonal pass.

*Thud!* The soccer ball slid along the ground in a beautiful arc.

"Opportunity!" Qin Ming saw Kyle Walker push forward too far, leaving him unmarked. He seized the opportunity and charged forward, unleashing a devastating attack!
"Foul! Foul!" Pochettino shouted impatiently on the sidelines.

Fazio couldn't hear but he understood, so he lunged at the player instead of the ball.

He pulled on the jersey and grabbed the shoulder.

Thump! The two tumbled and fell to the ground in a struggle. Qin Ming got up and looked at the referee. Sure enough, Fazio had been shown a yellow card.

It's a tactical foul without even attempting a steal.

It seems that he really gave himself enough respect.

Qin Ming wiped the grass clippings off his face, made a gesture to De Bruyne, and prepared to attack using a set piece.

"Kyle, stay in the back! Don't fucking push forward!"

Pochettino roared in anger.

If Fazio hadn't been able to stop them, Wolfsburg would have scored another away goal.

What concept?
That means even if Tottenham scores another goal, they will still lose.

At least two goals need to be scored.

They might let Wolfsburg drag the game out until the end.

“Okay, okay,” Kyle Walker replied listlessly.

He just wanted to be more involved in the attack so that when people recall this game, they won't forget any of his highlights.

But now he's been snapped out of his daze by Pochettino's words.

I felt a wave of fear wash over me.

As the saying goes: Once, twice, thrice, but the effort will eventually be exhausted.

Tottenham's morale has begun to decline after several unsuccessful attacks.

The impact of certain details is gradually becoming apparent.

"Wolfsburg's defense seems to be getting better and better!"

"Tottenham wasted several chances, and their passing and shooting were somewhat careless. Shouldn't Pochettino make some adjustments?"

"What you say comes true, the fourth official raises his placard!"

Tottenham substituted Townsend for Chadli and Stambouli for Paulinho!

"Stambouly was originally the vice-captain of Montpellier in Ligue 1. After joining Tottenham, he didn't have many opportunities to play, but his defensive experience is very good, so he has become a regular rotation player!"

"Pochettino's reason for bringing him on is definitely to limit Qin Ming!"

"As for bringing on Townsend, the goal is still to strengthen the attack and create opportunities for Harry Kane on the wings!"

Zhan Jun calmly analyzed the situation.

To be honest, he previously thought Tottenham had a better chance of winning, but given the current situation, it's hard to say.

"It all comes down to who scores the next crucial goal first."

Zhang Lu provided the answer.

After 75 minutes, both sides were showing signs of fatigue.

The number of times possession was lost was also increasing.

But neither side was able to create any significant opportunities.

The atmosphere at White Hart Lane grew increasingly tense; no one knew what would happen next.

Wenger stood in the stands with his hands in his pockets, his gaze fixed on Qin Ming.

What is Arsenal lacking right now?
It's not a pretty vase.

Rather, it refers to those who can break through their limitations in adversity, who are not afraid of making mistakes and dare to take risks.

Before we knew it, the game had reached the 81st minute.

Stambouli played a through ball to Lamela, who was about to dribble past the defender when he was bumped from the side.

Bang! De Bruyne's physique is top-notch in the Premier League, and he made a steal while Lamela was in disarray.

Tottenham's immediate counter-pressing was very quick.

It was another solid collision, with De Bruyne knocking Eriksen down, causing the fans in the stadium to erupt in gasps.

Mourinho deliberately gave up on such a player?

This is no different from Guardiola giving up on Qin Ming!

Two of the world's top football coaches have made poor judgments in the last two years.

"Wolfsburg doesn't have a true attacking midfielder or a number 9.5 player right now, but their attack is actually flowing more smoothly!"

"De Bruyne takes the shot!"

"They delivered a precise long pass over the top!"

"Qin Ming!"

Tensions reignited at White Hart Lane as Tottenham fans stared intently at the figure, fearing he might pull off another spectacular move.

no way.

Qin Ming's escape from the penalty area just now completely shattered their understanding.

"So fast?!"

Qin Ming had already made a run, but Kyle Walker still caught up with him, so he had no choice but to stop the ball.

But after the emergency stop, he initiated a second start.

Kyle Walker, who had been reprimanded by Pochettino, pursued him again.

He always manages to compensate for technical shortcomings with his incredible speed.

Qin Ming noticed Fazio's rapid approach, and Kyle Walker, not wanting to make a move easily, decisively stopped the ball in place.

It rotated half a circle counterclockwise!
Without Olic drawing attention in the attacking third, he had to rely on his own ability to break through.

"Watch out!" Lori shouted to warn his teammates as he saw Qin Ming turn around and cut inside towards the mid lane.

Fazio's face was etched with tension.

Even with such a strong defense, the opponent still managed to find an opportunity.

Despite his thoughts, he didn't slow down at all and launched a flying shovel at Qin Ming.

Bang! Qin Ming's chip shot hit Fazio and bounced off towards the bottom left corner of the goal.

"Hey hey hey——"

"pity!"

"Just a little bit of luck, he slid out of bounds just past the goalpost!"

"I regretfully said."

Wolfsburg fans also expressed their regret continuously, wishing they could go on the field and move the goal a little to the left.

"Keep going!"

Qin Ming didn't pass on his negative emotions to his teammates; instead, he flashed his bright white teeth and encouraged them.

Wolfsburg's left-side corner kick didn't involve many players in the attack.

After all, if Tottenham seizes the opportunity to launch a quick counter-attack...

This is even more disadvantageous for them.

"Qin!"

Therefore, De Bruyne did not pass into the penalty area, but instead passed the ball to Qin Ming with a low ball.

Stanbury was charging at him fiercely.

With his low center of gravity, Qin Ming was like a spring, contracting and then suddenly pushing off the ground to release his power!

Not only that.

Swish! The sticky feeling between the instep of his right foot and the football was something Stambury could see and react to.

But I just can't keep up.

Shocked, Stanbury turned around quickly, but could only see the other person's back.

Qin Ming felt the pressure coming from his knees, gritted his teeth and quickly adjusted his steps, twisting his upper and lower body into exaggerated angles.

Bang! The right foot slammed into the middle of the soccer ball, creating a sharp arc!

Lori hurriedly moved sideways, leaping high into the air and reaching out.

clang--

The crisp sound of the football hitting the crossbar became the most beautiful sound Lloris had ever heard in his life.

The same goes for Tottenham fans.

But Wolfsburg fans were on the verge of collapse as the shot hit the crossbar.

They felt as if they were fighting against fate, unable to change the outcome no matter what they did.

"Damn it!" Qin Ming's mentality also collapsed a bit, and he threw two punches at the air.

He dared to say he was in top form, and his finesse shot was aimed at the ten-point mark.

But it was just a little bit off.

"Qin! Calm down!"

De Bruyne came over; he knew Qin Ming was under a lot of pressure, as was he himself.

But it is precisely in times like these that we must remain rational.

"I just wanted to vent."

Qin Ming took a deep breath and looked up at the Tottenham goal; the white netting looked so tempting.
