Football: Starting from the Ronaldinho template

Chapter 69 The Goal That Broke the Deadlock!
The football fell from the air, and Qin Ming deftly controlled it with his right foot, his eyes sweeping across the ball with sharp focus.

This is a symbol of his high level of concentration.

Kobber lunged at him, but Brouwers didn't lose his position.
In a flash, Qin Ming made a decision, feigning a breakthrough towards the baseline, but actually flicking the ball with his right foot.

Snap! De Bruyne kept his promise and was ready to provide support at any moment.

He paused slightly after receiving the ball.

He deliberately waited until Brouwers pressed forward before sending out a slow through ball.

The football wasn't rolling fast, but Albero was startled because Olic suddenly darted past him.

"Olic's timing for the reverse insertion was superb!"

"Sommer takes the initiative!"

"A perfect shot! Beautiful! The ball nestled between Sommer's legs and into the goal!"

Wolfsburg opened the scoring in the 57th minute!

After scoring, Olic pointed both fingers to the sky, seemingly thanking God.

Qin Ming didn't go over to celebrate, but instead looked at Sommer lying on the ground. He was quite curious about this goalkeeper.

In a recent ranking of goalkeepers by British media, Neuer was ranked first, De Gea second, and Courtois third.
Sommer and Benaglio didn't even make the top ten.

However, Qin Ming felt that, judging solely from strength, Sommer should be no weaker than Casillas.

"I don't know why Joe Hart is ranked fourth. Is it just because he's English?"

Qin Ming mentally complained.

Thinking of Joe Hart, he was quite looking forward to meeting him, after all, he had already encountered Karius, one of the future goalkeepers who caused several major disasters.

Ter Stegen only went to Barcelona in the summer transfer window, and the two missed each other.

However, there will definitely be opportunities to face each other in the future.

"Qin, what are you thinking about? Why aren't you celebrating? Your backheel flick just now really startled me."

Perisic patted Qin Ming on the shoulder and laughed loudly.

Previously, when he recovered from his injury, he didn't miss a single Wolfsburg game.

When he saw that Wolfsburg lost to Bayern Munich because of their ineffective attack on the flanks, he was honestly quite relieved.

After all, this shows that Wolfsburg cannot do without itself.

But as Qin Ming played one, two, three, and more games, he realized he had encountered a formidable opponent.

After the two got to know each other and became familiar with each other, Perisic disregarded Qin Ming's age and treated him as a good friend.

"Ivan, do you want to learn? I'll teach you!"

Qin Ming put on a mysterious expression.

"You're not even as old as I am in my career, so if anyone should be teaching, it should be me teaching you!"

Perisic is very stubborn.

Who wouldn't want to perform magic on the court and outmaneuver the defenders?

But this is not something you can learn just by talking about it.

After the Wolfsburg players finished celebrating, Mönchengladbach immediately launched a counter-attack.

During Favre's journey to lead Borussia Mönchengladbach from relegation to the top of the league, the team's players developed a tenacious spirit.

"Xhaka has become more active; you can feel his desire to win in his movements!"

"And Kramer has also moved forward, wanting to go head-to-head with Wolfsburg in midfield?"

"Wow! De Bruyne's defense is very strong. He doesn't play the technical game against Xhaka; he defends purely with his body!"

Previously criticized by Mourinho for not being strong enough, De Bruyne increased his physical training.

His talent allowed him to transform himself in just one season.

What Zaka, a technical player, fears most is direct confrontation.

He needs safe space to organize his attacks, and when his passes are disrupted or fail to go through, Borussia Mönchengladbach's attacking rhythm comes to a standstill.

Relying solely on Cramer will not be enough to make progress.

The ball was quickly moved to the wing, and as soon as German winger Hahn received the ball, Qin Ming pounced on him.

Bang! The sound of muscles colliding rang out, and Qin Ming staggered and almost fell.

"Damn it! Do they all like using big, muscular guys as wingers?" Qin Ming regained his balance and continued chasing.

With his 185cm height and 82kg weight, Hahn outmaneuvered Rodriguez and delivered a 45-degree cross.

The football flew towards the penalty spot.

Knoch, perhaps out of form, misjudged the ball's trajectory and headed it out of bounds. Naldo, standing nearby, broke out in a cold sweat and quickly cleared the ball out of bounds before Kruse could reach it.

"Robin! What's wrong with you?"

Benaglio was also taken aback.

"I feel some pain in my inner thigh, and I can't concentrate."

Knoch felt he might be injured.

Upon seeing this, Dietrich on the sidelines had no choice but to make a substitution.

Klose replaced Knoch.

The former's name alone suggests a powerful header. He transferred for 600 million euros in the winter transfer window last season. Although he has been on the bench recently, his performance has been quite remarkable.

His current transfer value has reached 1100 million euros.

Wolfsburg's forced substitutions have yielded good results!

"Borussia Mönchengladbach's strategy of crossing from the wings was broken by Klose and Naldo, and Mönchengladbach's two strikers, Kruse and Rafael, are not the kind of powerful center forwards!"

"We need to play ground balls! Stop using useless crosses!"

"Xhaka plays a through ball to Rafael!"

Brazilians are typically small, fast, and agile, with similar height and weight to Messi, but their footwork is several levels below.

He used a series of stepovers to get past Klose, but it was clear that his final touch was too heavy, and he couldn't generate enough power when he shot.

Bang! Benaglio easily caught the ball and launched another long kick towards the left flank.

Repeated tricks!

The Borussia Mönchengladbach fans in the stadium tensed up instantly, their eyes glued to Wolfsburg's number 13 player.

Qin Ming wanted to try again, but Yang Keqi had learned his lesson and did not rush to steal the ball.

After stopping the ball, he probed repeatedly, pulling and flicking it. Every movement was very realistic.

Yang Keqi resisted the urge to steal the ball, but then he suddenly realized something.

Is he waiting for his teammates?

When Qin Ming's right foot shot out again, Yang Keqi could no longer suppress his impulse and instinctively turned to intercept.

Snapped!
But Qin Ming wasn't waiting for his teammates; he was waiting for Yang Keqi's weakness.

The right foot subtly changed from pushing to hooking.

Immediately afterwards, he took advantage of the space Yang Keqi had created and swept past like the wind, ball and all.

"Beautiful! His right foot seems to be imbued with magic, always causing defenders to misjudge!"

"Borussia Mönchengladbach's flank defense has been breached. Can Wolfsburg seize the opportunity?"

"Oh dear! Brouwers, who was covering, acted decisively and grabbed Qin Ming's jersey!"

Qin Ming was dragged onto the grass and rolled around several times, but he wasn't angry when he got up. Instead, he smiled and reached out to Brouwers.

He doesn't really care about fouls that aren't intentional and designed to harm himself.

Because this is essentially exploiting the rules.

I'm afraid I won't be able to stop you.

Brouwers grasped Qin Ming's hand and stood up, his face showing a helpless expression as he spoke frankly.

"You're not the only one who thinks this way."

Qin Ming raised an eyebrow.

Brouwers: "."

People always say that Chinese people are very modest.

But actually, he felt that Qin Ming was more real, which made him feel a little more favorably towards him.
