Football: Three sure-fire weaknesses in every match!

In the blue and white stands, Sampdoria fans practically lifted the entire sky.

cardboard.

Handwritten banner.

Giant portrait.

Everything is shaking.

Especially on the main grandstand side.

A large number of fans held up signs with Lin Qi's photo on them.

The photo shows him celebrating a hat trick with his arms outstretched at the San Siro.

Below were various exaggerated slogans.

LIN, THE KING OF SAMPDORIA!

FROM CHINA TO THE STARS!

San Siro has been conquered; Rome is next!

Keep scoring! We'll be cheering!

Lin Qi, don't stop! We need your magic!

There was also a huge banner that was even more outrageous.

The painting depicts Lin Qi standing on three basketball courts.

Meazza.

Allianz.

San Siro.

It says next to it:

Next stop: Italy.

The most eye-catching group was a small group of young female fans near the exit of the players' tunnel.

One of the blonde, blue-eyed girls was holding up a pink signboard.

It says a very straightforward sentence:

Lin, will you date me after a hat trick?

There was also an Italian girl holding a sign nearby:

I can learn Chinese, just look at me!

Another one is even more outrageous:

Lin Qi, if you score a goal, I'll change my dad's status to a Sampdoria fan!

The director clearly understands how to create a good program.

The camera focuses directly on these billboards.

The entire venue appeared on the big screen.

Laughter, screams, and applause from the fans instantly blended together.

Lin Qi saw it too.

His lips twitched slightly.

He could only lower his head and straighten his jersey, pretending not to see it.

B, who was standing next to him, came over.

"It's quite popular."

Lin Qi said calmly:

"They just love scoring goals."

B nodded.

"Then you'd better keep going."

The players from both teams walked out of the tunnel.

Step onto the lawn.

The lights at Ferraris Stadium went out.

Blue and white waves surged in from all directions.

Just then.

The broadcast footage cuts in.

A familiar voice rang out.

"Zhuang'er TV Station! Zhuang'er TV Station!~"

Good evening, everyone!

"You are now watching a key match in the fourth round of the 2016-2017 Italian Serie A football season!"

"Sampdoria, currently top of the table with three wins out of three, will host Roma at their home stadium, the Stadio Luigi Ferraris, who are also unbeaten at the start of the season and currently ranked second!"

He Wei's voice was as full of emotion as ever.

Xu Yang continued:

"This match can be said to be the most watched game of this round of Serie A."

Sampdoria went all out in the first three rounds.

"Lin Qi, in particular, scored an astonishing eight goals in three matches."

"In the last round, he even scored a hat-trick against AC Milan at the San Siro."

"This performance goes beyond simply being in good form."

"It was a phenomenal explosion."

He Wei nodded.

"That's right."

"So, can Sampdoria continue to deliver a goal-fest for us tonight?"

"Can Lin Qi continue his incredible goal-scoring streak?"

"This is an issue that all Chinese football fans, and even many European fans, are concerned about."

As he said this, his tone suddenly changed.

"However, the opponents they face today are different from those in the previous rounds."

"Roma has two wins and one draw in the first three league matches."

"More importantly..."

"Not a single goal conceded."

Xu Yang immediately said:

"Yes."

"Roma is currently one of the teams with the best defense in Serie A."

"De Rossi anchors the midfield."

"Nainggolan covers a vast area."

"The back line is strong in physical confrontations."

"Goalkeeper Szczesny is also in excellent form."

"Therefore, this match is a true clash of contradictions."

He Wei continued:

"On one side, Sampdoria's attacking line is making a furious run."

"On one side is Roma's rock-solid defensive system since the start of the season."

"The sharpest spear meets the hardest shield."

"Who will ultimately prevail?"

Let's wait and see.

The camera focuses on Salah of Roma.

He is doing some stretching exercises for his hands and feet.

He Wei said:

"In addition, there is another very interesting aspect to this match."

"Salah, the Egyptian attacker in the Roma squad, was also in excellent form in the first three rounds of the season."

"They've scored five goals so far."

Xu Yang smiled and said:

"Moreover, Salah spoke very confidently in his pre-match interview."

He said he would catch up with Lin Qi in goals after this match.

"It was also stated that Roma's defense would prevent Lin Qi from scoring in this match."

"That's quite a boast."

He Wei added:

"But he said it with great certainty."

"This also gives the impression that Roma did indeed have some special plans in place today."

"How exactly will they restrict Lin Qi?"

"Could it really be as Salah said, making Lin Qi stop in his tracks?"

"This is also one of the biggest mysteries of the night."

The camera then cut to the sidelines.

A brief pre-match interview session.

Giampaolo stands in the interview area.

Behind me was the roaring stands of Ferraris Stadium.

The reporter held up the microphone, and the question was very direct.

"Mr. Giampaolo."

"Your team is missing Muriel for this match."

"And their opponent, Roma, is a team that is very physically tough."

"There are even concerns that they will use excessive physical contact to restrict Lin Qi."

"In this situation, would you consider having the team play more conservatively?"

"For example, should we aim for a draw first to protect our key players?"

After hearing this, Giampaolo simply laughed.

It wasn't a sneer.

I genuinely find this question very interesting.

He looked at the reporter.

He patiently said:

"first."

"Muriel is indeed unable to play today due to some unforeseen circumstances."

As he said this, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

Clearly, even he himself found this "uncontrollable external force" absurd.

"This certainly has an impact on us."

"He is a very important member of the team's attacking line."

"His speed, impact, and ability to create opportunities in chaos are helpful to us."

"But that's football."

"There will always be someone absent."

"Someone will always need to step up."

The reporter continued to ask:

"So you're not prepared to be conservative?"

Giampaolo shook his head.

"No."

"We will not give up the fight for victory."

"This is our home ground."

"The fans didn't come here to see us thinking about a draw from the first minute."

As he spoke, he looked at Lin Qi, who was warming up in the distance.

"certainly."

"I am indeed worried about Lin Qi."

"Roma has many players who are very strong and aggressive in physical duels."

"If they resort to overly forceful methods, we will certainly be very vigilant."

"But competitive sports cannot allow players to back down prematurely just because they are worried about getting injured."

"I believe Lin Qi thinks the same way."

"He won't be afraid of the game just because the opponent is tough."

"We will not change our football style just because our opponents are tough."

Giampaolo's tone gradually became firm.

"Sampdoria will continue to attack today."

"We respect Rome."

"But we also believe in ourselves."

"If the opponent wants to take the top spot."

"Then they have to really beat us on this field."

The interview has ended.

Giampaolo turned and walked back to the coaches' area.

The camera cuts back to the studio.

Xu Yang sighed:

"Genuine Paul spoke with great confidence."

"Even without Muriel, we still insisted on taking the initiative to attack against a tough team like Roma."

"This shows that Sampdoria's confidence has indeed returned."

He Wei nodded.

"Yes."

"A winning streak will bring about a smoother technical performance."

"It also brings courage on a psychological level."

"When a team believes it can beat any opponent."

"It is no longer just an accumulation of strength on paper."

"It is a burning fire."

The camera returns to the stadium.

The players from both sides have begun shaking hands.

Lin Qi and De Rossi shook hands.

De Rossi's expression was calm, but his hand was very strong.

Lin Qi and Nainggolan passed each other by.

The other person glanced at him.

There was no smile in his eyes.

Rüdiger stood at the back.

Like a black city wall.

Salah then lightly jumped twice in the attacking third.

His gaze swept towards Lin Qi.

It carries a clear sense of competition.

The referee took the ball and walked towards the center circle.

The noise at Ferraris Stadium grew louder and louder.

This battle for the top spot.

It's finally about to begin.
