Football: Three sure-fire weaknesses in every match!

As he ran back, Muriel raised his hand to signal to Lin Qi.

He even exaggeratedly patted his head, as if apologizing to the entire stadium.

B. Fei first gave Lin Qi a thumbs up, then couldn't help but shrug and smile wryly at Muriel.

Lin Qi didn't complain about his teammates, and instead clapped his hands in response.

When I first saw the vulnerability warning within the framework, I clearly felt that it was much more complicated than before.

He thought he might not be able to execute it well, feeling like he was facing a boss battle in a video game.

"So it seems that as long as you are in the right situation, and you combine the football-related knowledge you have learned, as long as you think clearly about the next steps, your body will reflexively carry them out."

"This is simpler than I thought."

……

Inside the VIP box.

Owner Ferrero sat with other club executives, and he was extremely excited:

"See that?! Everyone saw that! How many players could kick that ball like that?!"

"18 years old! First time playing in Serie A! Against Inter Milan! Facing three players pressing him! He remained so calm and composed!"

"Yellow skin, black eyes, black hair! I am Chinese!"

"Do you know what this means?!"

"I would say that this signing of ours could become the most cost-effective and profitable example in Serie A history!"

……

There were noticeably more comments in the live stream than before.

Lin Qi is amazing! That pass was incredible!

- [I initially thought Sampdoria was just rushing Lin Qi into the starting lineup for the sake of the Chinese market! Looks like this guy actually has some talent!]

- [Awesome! I predicted Lin Qi would choose to shoot directly! I didn't expect him to be so selfless. Such composure at such a young age!]

- [What a pity! Such a good opportunity wasted! Inter's defense is already impenetrable, and this kind of one-on-one chance will probably only happen once in the whole game! Wasting opportunities will likely be punished!]

……

In the stands, there were also many professional scouts, including those from teams from other countries.

After what just happened, they were all trying hard to remember something.

Many people originally came to scout Bruno Fernandes and Torreira.

But now, many people's attention has quietly shifted.

Turning to the young Chinese player who had just broken through the defense with an unconventional tackle.

Among these scouts are observers from top clubs.

"This Chinese player is very interesting. If he can stabilize his ball-handling choices... we may need to intervene earlier in the future."

"Ahead of schedule? Once this type of player proves it's not just a fluke, he won't be a promising prospect anymore; he'll be a hot commodity! You won't be the only ones making moves then! They'll only come to elite teams like ours!"

"A powerhouse? Manchester United still dares to call themselves a powerhouse? How long has it been since you won the league title?"

"Hey! Watch your mouth! We have plenty of money!"

……

The home team's coaching bench.

Giampaolo and his assistants were having a heated discussion.

"That damn Muriel! I was so hesitant about whether to start him or Quagliarella, but now it seems I made the wrong choice!"

"Actually, that's not wrong. Since Lin Qi's playing style doesn't involve much running, we can't afford to field another slow veteran. I think this choice is fine!"

"It's alright. Even if we lose to Inter Milan, we won't feel much pressure. Besides, it's a draw now, and we even have a slight advantage in the game. Don't panic!"

"If Muriel wastes any more chances, I really need to reconsider my striker selection for the next game!"

"If Lin Qi hadn't passed the ball and had chosen to shoot himself, he probably would have scored already."

James Paul was satisfied with Lin Qi's performance, although it still didn't fit his tactical style.

But even fans could tell from that brilliant pass that only someone with top-tier football intelligence could make.

……

The coaching bench on the other side.

Despite his team nearly conceding a goal, De Boer's expression remained unchanged.

He clearly saw the defense line collapse just now.

The midfield is disjointed.

The central defense was affected.

The defensive layers were completely shattered by an unconventional kick.

That last shot already gave a clear enough signal.

That young man on the other side doesn't follow the usual rules.

He narrowed his eyes, his gaze fixed on Lin Qi.

a few seconds.

There was no extra expression.

Then, pointing at Lin Qi, he shouted to the defenders of his team:

"Keep a close eye on him! Don't hesitate when it's time to take advantage!"

"Nagatomo Yuto! You need to provide timely defensive support; reduce your involvement in the offensive end for now!"

That's fine. This young Chinese man has just arrived, and people don't pay much attention to him yet.

If you keep a close eye on things and make a few big movements, there won't be any problems.

Young players like these generally don't have strong mental resilience. If they get tackled a few times, they'll hold back their moves, leading to technical distortions and a decline in their performance.

"Unless he's one of those once-in-a-lifetime geniuses! That can't be it! Otherwise, how come we've never heard of him before? If he were, he would be known to the world like Messi by now!"

De Boer shuddered involuntarily at the thought of Messi.

In the Champions League two seasons ago, Ajax, under his leadership, suffered two complete defeats against Messi.

That profound sense of powerlessness still chills him to this day. Messi's three goals and one assist made him realize that in the face of genius, any adjustments he makes are futile.

……

The game continues.

"We've seen Inter Milan tighten their marking of Lin Qi!"

"Yuto Nagatomo is now dropping back into his own half more often, and whenever Chi-Ichi Hayashi gets the ball, he goes over to help defend and try to steal it!"

"Yes, it must have been a last-minute adjustment made by Coach De Boer on the sidelines. Now it's more difficult for Lin Qi to attack."

"Oh no! Lin Qi just got the ball, and four players suddenly appeared, giving him absolutely no space!"

"Hopefully, Coach De Paul will have a strategy to deal with this, and Sampdoria should also change its attacking style!"

"Inter's two full-backs are now intentionally dropping back, and their attacking desire has decreased a lot. Sampdoria's three midfielders should move forward more to receive passes and create space for passing. They shouldn't be so conservative."

"Muriel can't just focus on his own positioning anymore. When Lin Qi is double-teamed, he needs to come over and get the ball, and work together with Lin Qi in tight spaces!"

However, it is clear that Muriel himself had no such intention.

He was extremely frustrated by missing the one-on-one opportunity earlier, and now his mind was full of thoughts of making amends, wanting Lin Qi to pass him a ball like that again.

Besides, he didn't even have a chance to get the ball; those three midfielders, plus Bruno Fernandes, were only willing to pass the ball to Lin Qi.

...

[Vulnerability identified!]
