Football: Starting from the Ronaldinho template

Chapter 119 A spectacular volley that finds the net! Competition between friends! Europa League match against Inter Milan preview!
2015 3 Month 7 Day.

Wolfsburg hosted Freiburg at the Volkswagen Stadium.

But the match didn't go as they expected; Freiburg played with great determination.

why?
Because I don't want to be demoted.

"After Freiburg tested the referee's limits, they clearly increased the intensity of their confrontations, and they also used a lot of dirty tricks with their hands!"

"Should Wolfsburg make some adjustments?"

"During the break from the set piece, Dieter Hecking called De Bruyne to the sidelines, seemingly to discuss the game with him!"

"."

"Wolfsburg has started using more frequent short passes to penetrate Freiburg's midfield!"

"De Bruyne's sudden long pass over the top!"

"Dost scores with a diving header, finally breaking the deadlock!"

"Wolfsburg should have an easier time once they take the lead!"

"."

"Freiburg has started to push forward and attack, which is exactly the situation Wolfsburg wanted!"

"Träsch intercepts Franz in the backfield, passes the ball to Maranda, and then looks for De Bruyne!"

"Wolfsburg's short passes are precise and swift!"

"Persic breaks through to the right side of the penalty area and loops a pass to the far post to find the unmarked Qin Ming!"

"Wow! He faked a shot and then dribbled past Ritter's sliding tackle!"

"He feinted again in front of the goal! He skillfully maneuvered past Torrejon and slotted a shot into the far corner to score!"

"Tor!!!" Amid cheers from Wolfsburg fans, the scoreboard numbers were changed.

After scoring, Qin Ming put two fingers together in salute to the mascot Wofei on the sidelines.

Today is Wolf's birthday, and this goal I scored is a birthday present for him.

The game soon resumed.

Even after taking a two-goal lead, Wolfsburg maintained their defensive strategy, waiting for Freiburg to press forward and create openings before launching a counterattack.

The camera pans to the coaching bench on the sidelines.

Dieter Hecking's thoughts were racing as the Bundesliga reached its 24th round, with 11 matches remaining.

The fatigue of the Wolfsburg players was clearly visible.

Competing on three fronts – the league, the Europa League, and the German Cup – without acquiring suitable players during the winter transfer window can put immense pressure on the players.

This could easily lead to a complete collapse.

"Qin"

Dietrich noticed that Qin Ming's overall performance had improved significantly since the Asian Cup, and he had hardly experienced any injuries.

But football is not a one-man game.

He has to consider other factors, so strategically withdrawing from a competition is the best option at present.

If you continue to cut off, you will be subject to chaos.

It's better to make a decision sooner rather than later.

As for which event to withdraw from?
There's really no need to think about it.

The German Cup is not very prestigious and cannot be compared with the league and the Europa League.

Whoosh! Suddenly, the Volkswagen Stadium erupted in cheers again as Qin Ming skillfully dribbled past Klaus on the wing.

He then passed the ball to De Bruyne, who then played a through ball to the Dutchman.

"Bass!"

Upon hearing Qin Ming's voice, Dost recalled the tactics they had practiced and flicked the ball to his side and back.

Amid the expectant gazes of Wolfsburg fans.

Qin Ming met the ball with a graceful stretch of his body, and his right foot slashed down with lightning speed.

Bang! The instep struck the middle of the football hard, turning it into a cannonball that flew straight into the left side of the goal!
Freiburg goalkeeper Bürki was completely caught off guard.

“Vamos!”

Qin Ming thoroughly enjoyed unleashing his full power as he watched the football go into the net.

Previously, when his progress in skills such as "Poké Ball Sense" and "Devil Shot" slowed down, he began to train other skills.

For example, "precise volley" and "bicycle kick".

In the early to mid-stages of practicing these skills, the rate at which proficiency improves is quite remarkable.

"As long as I keep mastering Ronaldinho's skills, my strength will continue to increase until the template fusion reaches 100%!"

Qin Ming thought to himself.

He couldn't help but look forward to what kind of changes would happen to him on that day.

Even whether I can continue to become stronger.

He knew from the reward for finishing third in the Asian Cup that as long as there were results in the competition, the system would give some rewards.

For example, improvements in template integration or skill proficiency, or injury detection and treatment modules.

Will there be even better rewards in the future?

He was certain it existed.

"call!"

The more Qin Ming thought about it, the more excited he became.

Not far away, De Bruyne took several deep breaths, his eyes filled with determination.

He could sense Qin Ming's progress recently.

That speed was unheard of, which made him feel a sense of crisis.

He didn't want to fall behind his good friends.

Therefore, he never relaxed, and even when he was in the honeymoon phase with Mitchell, only continuous progress could make him feel at ease.

He has gradually come to realize this recently.

Competition between friends is not about winning or losing, but about mutual encouragement and growth.

This will not spoil the friendship; on the contrary, it will bring the two people closer.

Let's improve together!

De Bruyne has finally met someone who shares his ideals, so naturally he won't watch himself fall behind.

In the end, the match ended with Wolfsburg defeating Freiburg 3-0.

Qin Ming has now developed a habit of paying attention to Bayern Munich's match results. When he opened the app, a match result report was pinned to the top.

Werder Bremen 0-4 Bayern Munich: Lewandowski scores twice, Müller has one goal and two assists, and Alaba adds another. Bayern are unstoppable in their pursuit of a third consecutive Bundesliga title!

Qin Ming was somewhat numb after seeing it.

got used to.

In fact, many experts predicted before the season that Bayern's path to a three-peat would not be smooth, and that the huge advantage they had shown in the previous two seasons, winning the title by 25 and 19 points respectively over Borussia Dortmund, would be difficult to maintain.

But the facts proved that the experts were just wishful thinking.

Borussia Dortmund left the title race early and became one of the relegation contenders.

Wolfsburg has become the team that was supposed to be Bayern Munich's rival.

"In the past three seasons, Bayern Munich has only lost five league games. With their star-studded squad, it is only natural that they will win the title this season."

"As for Wolfsburg, their pursuers, given their lack of squad depth, they will likely fall behind towards the end of the season."

"But it is foreseeable that it is impossible for Bayern to replicate last season's success of winning the title in just 27 rounds and breaking the Bundesliga record for early title wins."

"The Bundesliga title this season should be decided after 30 rounds."

Clifford Payne, editor of Bild, offered his opinion.

Qin Ming scrolled down and saw Guardiola's post-match interview.

[Yes, as you can see, we concede goals, but we can improve, and our attack can be even more incisive.] The post also included Bayern Munich's top scorers in a single match this season.

打进4球以上的比赛多达14场，不进6个都不好意思叫大胜，6-1竟然排不进榜单前5。

"Truly worthy of being called the Bundesliga giants!"

Qin Ming picked up the soccer ball from the table and juggled it in the small area.

The next day, he met with Barnett, and the two signed an agency contract in the presence of Volkswagen's legal department.

Barnett also began to work diligently to plan the overall business strategy.

There's nothing he can do; his star player, Bale, doesn't seem to have any hope of suppressing Ronaldo at Real Madrid.

Therefore, it was decided to give Qin Ming more resources.

Consider it an investment in the future.

Anyway, he felt that Qin Ming was still young, and if he could increase his commercial value sooner, even if Ronaldo and Messi remained strong for a few more years.

Qin Ming can wait.

First and foremost, Barnett wanted to secure a shoe endorsement. For an excellent player, shoes are like a sword in the hand of a swordsman.

The importance cannot be overstated.

Moreover, as giants in the sports brand industry, Adidas, Nike, or Puma can offer very high endorsement fees.

This is also a significant source of income for most players.

While Barnett was contacting those sports brands, Qin Ming was attending a tactical meeting.

"I believe everyone has learned about Inter Milan to some extent during this period."

"Although their league performance is not good right now, they still have overall strength. Look at their players: Guarin, Shaqiri, Vidic, Icardi, and Kovacic, etc., some of them are very famous, right?"

"Their head coach, Mancini, led the team to Serie A and Premier League titles. Keep in mind that the Premier League title was won amidst strong teams like Manchester United, Chelsea, and Arsenal."

Dieter Black knew that in terms of honors alone, he couldn't even come close.

But he wasn't afraid of the other party.

"Inter Milan's current tactics mainly rely on the midfield, which is a three-defensive-midfielder configuration. This formation has a very strong midfield interception capability."

"They won't press on us proactively, but will use the movement of our defensive lines to disrupt our organization, while they launch continuous attacks themselves."

"But there are problems with their defensive midfield and backline. Kevin, you guys can look for opportunities to improve your tackling and maybe create some chances."

"."

Dieter Black Gold is still the same old thing.

Know yourself and the enemy, a hundred battles will never end.

Qin Ming, on the other hand, was focused on Guarin and D'Ambrosio, as these were the two players he would be facing off against.

Guarín is a typical all-rounder who can play in any position in midfield, and his role is more like that of Ballack.

Its primary task is not organization or defense.

Instead, they create a second line of attack between the forwards and defensive midfielders.

Of course, he can also use his strong physique to establish the team's first line of defense.

"The steal was reckless."

Qin Ming noticed this after watching the recording for a while.

Guarin's tackles are like a one-off deal; if he can get the ball, great; if not, oh well.

And they are very emotional.

As for D'Ambrosio, he's just an average full-back.

However, he possesses a near-perfect professional attitude and focused spirit.

"Let's talk about Inter Milan's attack. With Icardi and Palacio as the two strikers, the former is good at shooting and poaching, but dribbling is his weakness."

"The latter is a technical guerrilla who often pulls out of the penalty area to assist his teammates. Eddie, you need to remind your teammates not to overlook him."

Dieter Hecking clapped his hands. "That concludes the tactical meeting. Everyone, practice the tactics tomorrow! Let me say it one last time: we must win at home, and try to minimize the number of goals the opponent scores, to avoid a situation like what happened at White Hart Lane."

After a thrilling match against Tottenham, Dieter Hecking doesn't want to go through that again.

Otherwise, his old heart might not be able to handle it.

Milan, Italy.

"Our opponent is Wolfsburg, who have had a very good season in the Bundesliga. You probably know their two players, De Bruyne and Qin Ming."

"It's a fact that we have no hope in the league this season, and we can't even qualify for European competitions. There's nothing wrong with admitting that."

"And the Europa League winner will directly qualify for the Champions League group stage next season."

Mancini tapped the table lightly with his index finger. "So we have to keep winning."

Inter Milan, heavily influenced by UEFA's Financial Fair Play regulations, has faced significant restrictions in player recruitment.

They must recover their losses through the Europa League.

"Mauro, you'll stay in the dormitory for the next few days until this round of the Europa League is over."

Mancini glanced at the blond-haired man in the corner of the conference room.

Two years ago, Icardi set his sights on his brother's woman: Wanda.

Not only did he personally star in the "friend's wife scandal," but he also openly and blatantly expressed his love for his sister-in-law afterwards.

Ultimately, Lopez and Wanda divorced, and his younger brother Icardi took over, suddenly gaining three more sons.

It is said that the reason for their divorce was not a breakdown in their relationship, but rather disharmony in their sex life.

Wanda later revealed how Icardi felt to her.

He was so violent that he ruined the mattress and made her take painkillers every 4 hours.

But what are the consequences of young people indulging in excessive sexual activity?
Virtual!
Recently, Icardi has seemed a bit out of sorts in matches.

In the recent Wanda Derby, Icardi had a poor performance, while Lopez of Torino, a relegation-threatened team, delivered a winning assist in stoppage time.

Unfortunately, it was also the birthday of Lopez and Wanda's 6-year-old son.

Those who cheat on their partners will never have good luck.

Mancini was forced to warn Icardi, otherwise Inter Milan would have no good strikers available.

"Ok."

Icardi nodded obediently this time.

Mancini is different from other head coaches; he was once a top player and held a high position in Italy.

During his time coaching Fiorentina, he used his strong personal charisma to reunite the team, which was suffering from a debt crisis and was in disarray, and even led them all the way to the Italian Cup final and successfully lifted the trophy.

Even Ibrahimovic and Balotelli have a good relationship with him.

Icardi just likes his sister-in-law; he's not stupid enough to provoke Mancini.

"Qin Ming! His highly innovative technical skills will put a lot of pressure on our defense, especially so you can't overdo it with how closely you guard him."

"And then there's De Bruyne, the playmaker for Wolfsburg, who's particularly good at delivering penetrating, threatening passes. We need to be careful to protect the depth of the defense, compress the three lines as much as possible to reduce their space, and at the same time create offside lines."

Mancini's expression was extremely serious.

The reason he was sacked by Inter Milan was because of his poor performance in European competitions.

At that time, Inter Milan was invincible in Serie A, but was blocked from the quarterfinals by Valencia and Liverpool.

Later, when he managed Manchester City, although he won the Premier League title, they failed to advance from the Champions League group stage twice.

The reason is very simple.

His on-field command was terrible, and his coaching style was too soft, the complete opposite of Mourinho's.

Making substitutions is just like playing Football Manager.

The first substitution was made around the 75th minute of the match, and a striker was substituted for a defender in the last 10 minutes.

This has almost become his well-known substitution strategy.

This also exposes his shortcomings in handling tactical details.
