Football: Starting from the Ronaldinho template

Chapter 120 The Swiss Messi Arrives! Qin Ming and Ding Ding's telepathic connection leads to a perfectly coordinated goal!
2015 3 Month 13 Day.

Volkswagen Arena.

Crowds of people.

It's worth noting that when Wolfsburg was weaker, they had basically never faced any top foreign clubs, except for Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich.

After entering the Europa League knockout stage this season, they first narrowly defeated Premier League giants Tottenham Hotspur, and then drew Italian Serie A giants Inter Milan.

Inter Milan, on the other hand, excites Wolfsburg fans more than Tottenham.

why?
Inter Milan has a wealth of accolades to its name, including the Champions League and league titles, all of which can be found in their trophy room.

At the pre-match press conference.

"Our form has dipped recently because of the tight schedule. The players have recovered to their best form after rest, and we are ready for this game."

"And anyone who watched our previous matches knows that Wolfsburg is no longer a team that only plays well when they have the advantage; we can also unite and fight for victory when we are in adversity."

"Kevin and Qin? Without a doubt, they are the core of Wolfsburg's attack and the source of my confidence in achieving victory."

Dieter Black Gold made no secret of how much he valued Qin Ming and the other person.

No one can understand what it must have felt when he witnessed two geniuses grow at an alarming rate, showcasing unforgettable talent after two-thirds of the season had passed, and achieving a synergy where 1+1>2.

He could even assert that even if he taught for another twenty years, he would never have a similar experience.

Another conference room.

"After abandoning the three-defender system and returning to the four-defender system, our overall strength has improved significantly, and the players' spirit is completely different from before. The Nerazzurri have regained their fighting spirit and iron will."

"Even though Wolfsburg has been doing well recently, we are confident of taking the victory from here."

Mancini wanted to say "draw," but that would have been too demoralizing for his team.

At this moment, Qin Ming, who was warming up, looked across at the other side, searching for a familiar face from his memory.

If he hadn't done his research before the match, he should have known Icardi, Shaqiri, and Guarin.

Icardi is famous because of his dramatic love story with Wanda Nara.

Shaqiri is because he later played in the Chinese Super League.

Guarín needs no introduction; he was the Serie A Player of the Year last season and later played for a Chinese Super League team.

"Ivan, do you think someone who cheats on their teammate will be ostracized by them?"

Qin Ming asked in a low voice.

"I don't know about others, but if I were cheated on, ugh, no ifs, my friends definitely wouldn't hang out with him."

Perisic hates people who break up other people's families.

"Yeah, that's true! My friend can't do it either."

Qin Ming agreed.

"Do you think that woman, who could cheat on him, might also cheat on him with other men?"

Qin Ming then wentssiped.

Perisic offered his opinion: "This kind of thing only happens once or countless times. I suggest you find a girl who loves herself in the future."

In their blind spot, De Bruyne nodded, finding it quite reasonable.

"Kevin! If you want to listen, just listen. Why are you hiding it?"

Maranda's sudden voice startled De Bruyne.

"I'm here to discuss tactics with them. Inter Milan's full-back Santon has poor discipline and focus. Qin, you can look for an opportunity to help him."

De Bruyne blushed and offered a sophistry.

Qin Ming remained silent for a moment before saying quietly, "Kevin, I'm matched up against D'Ambrosio, while Ivan is matched up against Thornton."

"Oh, I didn't sleep well last night, I might have misremembered."

De Bruyne stubbornly insisted, "Ivan, you better watch out, I'll be sending deep through balls."

Okay, I'll be waiting for you.

Perisic offered a way out.

Soon after returning to the locker room and completing their preparations, both teams went back onto the field.

Inside the broadcast room.

"Good evening, viewers!"

"We are now broadcasting live the first leg of the 2014-15 UEFA Europa League Round of 16!"

Wolfsburg hosts Inter Milan!

"One is a Bundesliga team that has been in excellent form recently, and the other is a long-established powerhouse with a deep history. This match is sure to be very exciting!"

Let's start by introducing the starting lineups for both teams!

"Wolfsburg's starting lineup has been very stable since the winter break, with the goalkeeper as follows:..."

"Dost has gradually replaced Olic as Dieter Hecking's first choice, and his understanding with Qin Ming and the other two has increased over time. Recently, he has scored some very exciting goals, such as the winning goal in the second leg against Tottenham."

"The team wearing blue and black jerseys is Inter Milan. Mancini has deployed a 4-3-1-2 formation. Goalkeeper:..."

"This season has not been easy for Nerazzurri. They first lost Zanetti, and then witnessed the departure of Samuel, Cambiasso and Milito."

"Mazzarri's coaching has only made things worse for Inter Milan."

"By the way, Inter Milan has an interesting record: they have won the first leg in all four previous matches against German teams and advanced to the next round three times."

“唯一的例外是1988-89赛季，首回合2-0拜仁，次回合1-3输掉，因客场进球而被淘汰。”

"I wonder if this record can provide them with a boost in morale?"

Zhan Jun gave a brief introduction to the two teams.

The comment section of the match report on Dongqiudi (a Chinese sports betting platform).
-
[Inter Milan's peak seems to have been short-lived, with five consecutive Serie A titles and a treble-winning season. How did they fall so far?]
-
"They're broke. Look at the players they had before, and look at them now."
-
I noticed Kovacic and Nagatomo on Inter Milan's bench. Weren't they used to be starters?
-
[Is Mancini planning to play defensively first, and then make predictable substitutions?]
-
To be honest, I felt I could have done a better job if I had substituted him; there was absolutely no improvement.
-
Forget about substitutions; Inter Milan didn't win a single game in March, their form was at rock bottom. They'll be lucky if they don't get thrashed by Wolfsburg today.
-
[They conceded a goal in almost every match.]

Most fans don't have high hopes for Inter Milan, given their recent poor performance. Even though Wolfsburg's win was hard-fought, they still seem stronger than Inter Milan.

Volkswagen Arena.

The two captains chose sides, and Wolfsburg won the right to kick off.

Beep! ! !
With the referee's whistle.

The match has begun.

Qin Ming quickly moved to the left flank, deliberately wandering around the melon grove.

What is the purpose?
This allows De Bruyne to have more comfortable space to handle the ball.

Guarin is like a beggar's version of Vidal.

Although their tactical execution and focus during the game were not high, they also had the problem of making excessive defensive moves.

However, it can still cause some trouble for the opponent's attacking midfielder.

After Qin Ming moved to the wing, De Bruyne shifted accordingly, coming to the open half-space and began to calmly pass the ball out.

"From God's perspective, Inter Milan's three defensive lines were clearly layered, and they also used man-to-man marking. Apart from Qin Ming being marked by Guarin and D'Ambrosio, the rest of the Wolfsburg players were each marked by a defender."

"De Bruyne passes back to Gustavo, and Wolfsburg will have to shift their attack to the other side."

"Vierinia's sudden long diagonal pass!"

"Dost headed the ball across!"

Wolfsburg suddenly accelerated from a calm state, catching Inter Milan somewhat off guard.

After all, the pace of matches in the Bundesliga and Serie A is very different.

The ball was deflected to the wing by the Dutch bald man. Qin Ming had just deliberately moved a few meters to the side, giving him enough space and time to stop the ball.

It was pretty much as he expected.

Guarin couldn't contain himself and pounced, leaving himself no way out.

Snap! A high-frequency dribble and push allowed the ball to avoid being intercepted.

But to Qin Ming's surprise, Guarin suddenly rammed into him.

Does this mean the ball can get past the player but not the player?
Thump! Feeling his center of gravity swaying, Qin Ming immediately tensed his waist and abdomen, his cleats digging deep into the grass, managing to withstand the impact.

It seems the strength training wasn't in vain.

"He held off Guarin, dribbled to the byline, and made a powerful run past D'Ambrosio!" "A cross with a fancy rabona!"

"Dost leaps up and heads the ball towards the goal!"

"Wow! Inter Milan goalkeeper Caruso parried the ball with one hand, and Ranocchia cleared it with a long kick into the attacking third!"

"What a pity! Wolfsburg created some good chances, but failed to convert them into goals."

Zhan Jun felt somewhat regretful.

On the field, Dost, holding his bald head, smiled apologetically at Qin Ming and said, "Mine."

"What do you mean 'yours' and 'mine'? Keep going!"

Qin Ming waved his hand, not caring.

Inter Milan took the goal kick and attempted an attack, with the ball being passed to Hernanes.

His versatility as a former Lazio key player made him an excellent deep-lying midfielder.

He worked with his teammates to break through Wolfsburg's first line of defense, and then made a through pass to Shaqiri, who had dropped back to receive the pass.

As the Swiss Messi, he is 169cm tall and weighs 72kg.

Bang! The dark and hard Maranda rammed into Shaqiri from the side, but it couldn't budge him.

"According to Inter Milan's previous tests, Shaqiri's thigh circumference reached 63cm, exceeding that of 99% of players of the same height!"

"His Achilles tendon is 2cm shorter than average!"

"This unique structure forms a natural spring, which allows him to jump only 68cm high, but his reaction time for a second jump after landing is 0.15 seconds faster!"

"Wow! Look at the impact force, like a barrel full of gunpowder!"

Before Inter Milan fans could even cheer, Gustavo made a fierce sliding tackle, snatching the ball away from Shaqiri's feet.

The two were teammates when they played for Bayern Munich, so they know each other.

Gustavo knew that although Shaqiri was called the Swiss Messi, his footwork was on a completely different level from Messi's.

All you need to do is intercept the ball during the gaps in contact.

The ball was tackled to Vieirinha's feet, and the Portuguese player, seeing Persic, passed the ball along the sideline.

However, Wolfsburg failed to get the ball into the attacking third, as it was intercepted by the second line of defense.

However, Inter Milan's attack couldn't break through either, and the combination of Maranda and Gustavo made Wolfsburg's midfield very tough.

De Bruyne and others will press high up the pitch, preventing Inter's three defensive midfielders from easily passing the ball out.

As possession changed hands repeatedly, Wolfsburg gradually gained the upper hand, a result of their five-midfielder formation.

Inter Milan's formation has been pushed back!

"They are waiting for an opportunity to counterattack, but only if they can withstand the pressure!"

"Wolfsburg has initiated positional warfare on the left flank!"

In the footage, Qin Ming drew several circles with his right foot, testing D'Ambrosio.

Who knew that the other party would deliberately reveal a weakness?

Qin Ming didn't hesitate and pushed hard, intending to use his explosive power to break through.

But D'Ambrosio twisted his waist and slid in with a tackle.

Bang! The ball was poked out of bounds by his toe, eliciting cheers from Inter Milan fans.

Everyone knows that a young player with a playing style very similar to Ronaldinho has emerged in the Bundesliga.

Many teams, including those in the Premier League and the Bundesliga, couldn't stop him.

And their full-backs did it.

"Impressive!" Qin Ming reached out to D'Ambrosio, a genuine smile on his lips.

No wonder people say that Serie A has many players with excellent defensive skills.

Looking back, there were players like Maldini, Cannavaro, and Nesta. Although there aren't any particularly famous ones now, the overall level of ability is still very high.

"You too."

D'Ambrosio grabbed Qin Ming's hand and used it to help him get up.

He is a typical player without natural talent, so why has he always been a starter?

It's all about solid defense and strong mental attributes.

Qin Ming simply responded with a slightly excited smile.

He hadn't faced a technically solid defender in a long time, whether it was someone from the Bundesliga or Kyle Walker from Tottenham.

They rely more on physical fitness.

Rather than defensive skills.

D'Ambrosio is different; he's truly something.

"Louis!"

Rodriguez throws the ball in from the sideline, and Gustavo stops the ball and observes.

The teammates in front were all being marked.

He could only pass the ball to De Bruyne, and Guarin made a fierce save at that moment.

Why do I say he lacks discipline?
It is precisely because he is so easily out of position.

Qin Ming's eyes lit up when he saw Guarin pushing forward, and he immediately took a step to his left side.

"Kevin!" he shouted, asking De Bruyne for the ball, even though D'Ambrosio was right next to him.

De Bruyne had no doubts.

There is unconditional trust between the two, which stems not only from their relationship but also from each other's strength.

Qin Ming leaned against D'Ambrosio, preparing to back down and pass the ball past him.

But D'Ambrosio seemed prepared, constantly pushing him forward.

That way, even if the ball gets past, the player will still be blocked.

no way.

Qin Ming took two steps to the side and passed the ball back to De Bruyne.

During this time, he made a gesture discreetly.

Just as D'Ambrosio breathed a sigh of relief, he unexpectedly made a run into the penalty area.

Snap!
The ball left De Bruyne's foot, and like a sharp scalpel, it tore apart Inter Milan's defense!
"Beautiful through ball!"

"Qin Ming! Catch the ball!"

"coming!"

In the shot, Qin Ming received the ball and took a half-step lead before Carrizo stepped up to challenge him.

But there were still two Wolfsburg players standing in front of the goal.

When the ball was passed to him, Perisic calmly took the shot.

Bang! With a dull thud, the football nestled into the bottom right corner of the goal!
1-0! ! !

"Perisic! Perisic!"

"Wolfsburg's continuous passing and movement on the left flank caused chaos in Inter Milan's defense, successfully creating an opportunity to score!"

"Watch the replay of Qin Ming and De Bruyne's teamwork; the two are practically telepathic!"

"Their teamwork is off the charts!"

"I thought there was no chance and we would have to pass it back and reorganize, but Qin Ming made a counter-run and De Bruyne made a through pass, which opened up the game!"

"In the 31st minute of the match, Wolfsburg took the lead at home!"

Zhan Jun exclaimed in admiration.
