Football: Starting from the Ronaldinho template

Chapter 58 Two consecutive powerful breakthrough goals!
"We played very well in the first half, especially in the wide-ranging passes between the left and right sides, which met my expectations before the match."

"However, Qin Ming, your coordination with your mid-lane teammates needs to be further improved."

Perrin knew that Qin Ming had only been there a short time and that the national team players couldn't compare to his club teammates, but this was a problem that only he could overcome on his own.

It's unrealistic to expect the national football team players to improve their skills in a short period of time.

Furthermore, he found that playing Wu Lei as an attacking midfielder was not a good idea, although it allowed him to repeatedly attack the opponent's defense and unexpectedly create space.

However, their control of the midfield will decrease.

We still need to adjust our tactics to better coordinate with Qin Ming's performance.

"I won't say much about the defense. We've practiced it many times before. We need to press high up the pitch and fight for points, and not let them make long passes easily."

Perrin tapped the tactics board.

New Zealand's high-ball tactics can easily lead to goals if they are lucky or if their defenders make mistakes.

Soon, the second half of the game began.

"Force him to pass the ball!"

Zheng Zhi shouted from behind, and Qin Ming decisively stepped forward to block James.

The latter looked around, hesitated for a moment, and was then pushed aside by Qin Ming, almost losing possession of the ball.

After finally passing the ball back to his teammate, Yu Hai quickly pounced on him.

Winston Reid remained unfazed. As a key center-back for a Premier League team, he used a simple dribble and positioning to push Yu Hai aside.

Immediately after adjusting, he sent out a long pass to Smith, who was making a quick forward run down the wing.

The tall and strong Smith carried Mei Fang and headed the ball into the middle.

Barbarosses followed up with a first-time diagonal pass, finding Chris Wood who had run in front of Zheng Zhi.

However, what the Leicester City striker didn't expect was that he was suddenly hit in the back.

It was very powerful!
His first touch was too heavy, allowing Wu Xi to poke the ball away from the side.

"Pretty!"

"Zheng Zhi and Wu Xi paired up well in the defensive midfield; Perrin is indeed a man of substance!"

"Zheng Zhi has a high enough defensive intensity, while Wu Xi has excellent running ability and can sweep the area in front of the defensive line!"

"Model worker. That nickname really suits him!"

On the field, Wu Xi dribbled forward quickly. His dribbling, vision and ball transfer ability are average, so he did not hold onto the ball for too long and passed it to the right wing early on.

There, Ji Xiang received the ball and suddenly accelerated, but Storm was very close to defend him.

Fortunately, he can pass the ball with both feet.

*Thud!* With a crisp sound, the football arced straight towards the left wing.

It's a bit big.
Qin Ming estimated the ball's landing point and muttered it to himself.

It shouldn't be a big problem.

Tommy Smith pushed forward to participate in the attack, resulting in the nearest defender to him being West Ham United's Winston Reid.

The next second, the fans in the stadium stared wide-eyed as Qin Ming used a flying kick to steadily control the ball.

His ball control skills are simply amazing!

Winston Reed learned from his previous experience, boxing out Qin Ming and waiting for Tommy Smith to get back on defense.

"Rob!"

Tommy Smith was seething with anger; anyone would be hard-pressed to remain calm after being attacked by his opponent a few times.

He was known for his aggressive style in the Championship.

Qin Ming subconsciously tensed his waist and abdomen, as if he had eyes in the back of his head. The moment Tommy Smith made the steal, his right foot pulled the ball back and flicked it like lightning!

Thud! The football traced an L-shaped trajectory on the grass and once again slipped out of the two players' encirclement.

Wow! The fans who witnessed it all burst into cheers mixed with shock.

It's not over yet!

Qin Ming repeated the scene from the first half of the game, almost following the same route.

Bang! The football was powerfully struck towards the top right corner, disappearing into the goal as Moss helplessly watched.

"The goal went in!"

"A brace!" "Qin Ming, making his national team debut, has scored his second goal today, the same formula, the same result!"

"Solo adventure!"

"Two consecutive powerful breakthrough goals brought the Hongdu Olympic Sports Center Stadium to a complete boil."

He Wei was also so excited that he could hardly contain himself.

Watching Qin Ming compete on TV is a completely different experience from watching him live.

Often, while you're still immersed in his incredibly infectious strides, he's already broken through and stabbed his opponent like a sharp blade.

On the field, Qin Ming pounded his right fist on the team emblem on his chest and roared excitedly toward the stands.

The fans' response was also very positive.

The hysterical cheers were like a tsunami, making Qin Ming's eardrums ache.

"So handsome."

Wu Lei looked on with envy at Qin Ming, who was basking in the applause.

At this moment, his desire to study abroad reached its peak; he felt he had to go abroad while he was still young.

Otherwise, he will definitely regret it in the future.

"New Zealand's overall strength is not strong enough, especially their midfield interception line. If it were a team like Australia..."

Zheng Zhi, on the other hand, saw things clearly.

With Qin Ming's arrival, the national team's strength will definitely increase dramatically, but it's not as exaggerated as people imagine.

It will take at least longer to get used to each other.

Qin Ming also needs to continue to improve, and they all need to continue to improve in order to achieve the results they want.

Zheng Zhi recalled the 2002 World Cup, in which he missed the tournament for various reasons, a regret that would haunt him for the rest of his life.

"This should be my last chance."

Zheng Zhi watched Qin Ming's retreating figure and thought to himself.

Keep in mind that he is already 34 years old this year. Even if he is very disciplined, how many more years can he play?

Therefore, even as a substitute, he wanted to participate in a World Cup.

"In the 76th minute of the match, Perrin made substitutions, with Hao Junmin replacing Qin Ming, Feng Xiaoting replacing Ren Hang, and Gao Lin replacing Wu Lei."

"The three substitutions are probably to try out new lineups and also to prepare for possible surprises."

"Look, many fans in the stadium stood up and applauded, celebrating Qin Ming's perfect national team debut."

On the field, Qin Ming also clapped lightly to thank the fans for their support.

He was once a member of the stands, a fan sitting in front of the television.

Now, however, their identities have changed.

"Well played."

Gao Lin patted Qin Ming on the shoulder, a surge of pride rising within him.

But his first shot after coming on as a substitute went wide, which made him realize the reality.

As Lippi was right, he is suited to be the fulcrum.

"The game is over! The game is over!"

"After 70 minutes, the Chinese team's physical strength obviously declined. In the 83rd minute, New Zealand seized a corner kick opportunity and Chris Wood scored with a header. In addition, in stoppage time, Brocchi's long-range shot deflected off Zhang Linpeng's shin and went in!"

"Although these two goals did not affect the final outcome of the match, they also show us that the Chinese team currently has many problems!"

"It won't disappear with Qin Ming's return; on the contrary, we must do our best to resolve it!"

"Finally, congratulations to the Chinese team for defeating New Zealand 3-2!"

“截止目前为止，国足在亚洲排名第9，积分为369分，与第8位阿曼队391分和第7位伊拉克队393分还存在一定差距。”

"Furthermore, Gulf teams such as Oman and Iraq will participate in the Gulf Cup in mid-to-late November, and their points and rankings will rise if they achieve excellent results."

"Therefore, the Chinese team should try to win both of these warm-up matches. Now that we have beaten New Zealand, we believe Honduras will not be a problem either."

"See you in Chang'an, my fellow fans!"

　Thank you brothers for the tips, votes, and following the story.

　　It's the same old story: I feel that the Chinese national team coached by Perrin is the strongest in the last 10 years. They were just too unlucky and only managed a draw against Hong Kong (they hit the post too many times in that match and were also cheated out of a goal by the referee).
