Football: Three sure-fire weaknesses in every match!

After the game restarted.

Without Lin Qi, a key attacking threat, Sampdoria's attack has clearly faltered.

The pace began to slow down.

The formation has also become more compact.

Inter Milan, on the other hand, seemed to have been pushed to the very edge.

They began to press forward, launching wave after wave of attacks.

Finally, in the final stages of the match, their through ball down the middle to break through the defense, and Icardi suddenly surged forward.

Inside the penalty area, stay calm and take a shot.

2 is better than 1!

But in the end...

Beep!! Beep!! Beep!!

The referee blew his whistle three times!

The match is over!!

Sampdoria defeated Inter Milan 2-1 at home!

In an instant, the stadium erupted once again!

And right there in the midst of the commotion.

The DJ's voice, tinged with obvious excitement and trembling, swept through the entire venue via the sound system:

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN—!!!"

"This match was officially selected!"

He paused deliberately.

"MAN OF THE MATCH!!! (Man of the Match!!!)"

Almost all the fans in the stadium had already guessed it.

My breathing became rapid.

next second.

The sound exploded:

"LIN-QI-!!!!!! (林-启-!!!)"

The camera pans to the substitutes' bench.

Lin Qigang stood up and was immediately pulled into the center of the crowd by his teammates.

applause.

Whistling.

cheer.

All the sounds overlapped.

It was like a coronation that was exclusively for him.

The DJ's voice continued, growing ever louder:

"The first game of the new season!!!"

Two goals!!!

"Rewrite the course of the game!!!"

"He used one game!"

"Tell everyone!"

"A new name has been born on the Serie A pitch!!!"

In the stands, some people had already begun to shout in unison:

"LIN!!!"

"QI!!!"

Over and over again.

The rhythm became increasingly synchronized.

Long after the match ended, the crowd did not disperse.

The plaza outside the stadium was still bustling with people.

……

Lin Qizheng was about to walk towards the players' tunnel.

Thinking that I should hurry back to the locker room to see what post-match rewards the system had given me, I decided to hurry back to the locker room first.

Just then, a voice came from behind, and a teaching assistant quickly caught up.

He was still holding the scoreboard from the recent match, his expression clearly showing a serious deliberation as he reviewed the game.

"I'd like to confirm a few details about those two balls."

Lin Qi stopped and nodded.

The teaching assistant skipped the small talk and got straight to the point:

"The first ball, that initial burst of speed you made on the edge of the penalty area..."

"Did you anticipate the defensive line would retreat, or was this a last-minute reaction?"

Lin Qi thought for a moment:

"It's not about judging whether they will back down."

"It's a judgment that they dare not advance."

The teaching assistant was taken aback.

Lin Qi continued:

"I had already successfully contested the ball once, so their center-backs would be more inclined to stay calm."

"So I didn't start it ahead of time."

"I forced my way in the moment they decided not to push back."

The teaching assistant subconsciously made a note on the whiteboard.

His gaze became more focused:

"So... you're reading their decision points, not their locations?"

Lin Qi nodded:

"right."

"Position is the result; decision is the cause."

The teaching assistant took a deep breath and asked the second question:

"That second ball."

"Your heel treatment..."

"Was it a pre-planned action, or improvised?"

Lin Qi answered even faster this time:

"Default".

The teaching assistant was clearly stunned:

"Default?"

"Um."

Lin Qi explained:

"When I retreated, I observed Yuto Nagatomo's defensive habits."

"He will start moving in advance based on the direction of the ball carrier's first touch."

The teaching assistant nodded; this judgment was correct.

Lin Qi continued:

"So my first goal isn't to get past him."

"Let him make the judgment first."

"As long as he moves..."

"He's already halfway to the end."

The teaching assistant glanced down at the whiteboard and couldn't help but smile.

"What about the subsequent coordination with Bruno Fernandes?"

"You two didn't communicate, did you?"

Lin Qi shook his head:

"no."

"How can you be sure he'll kick it back?"

Lin Qi's tone remained indifferent:

"I'm not sure how he'll transmit it."

"I am standing in a..."

He gestured a small angle with his hand:

"That's the only position he can pass the message to."

The teaching assistant stopped completely this time.

Lin Qi added:

"If he wants to speed up, this kick must be a back pass."

"Otherwise, the rhythm will be broken."

The air was quiet for a second.

"One last question."

"The timing of your offside trap..."

"Should we look at the defenders or the passer?"

Lin Qi smiled:

"Look at the shadow."

The teaching assistant was taken aback:

"shadow?"

"Um."

Lin Qi nodded:

"People can lie, but shadows can't."

"Their shadows move before their bodies have fully started moving."

After saying that, he seemed to think it was nothing special.

He gently patted the teaching assistant on the shoulder:

That's about it.

Then he turned around and continued walking into the passage.

The teaching assistant stood still, looking at the notepad in his hand, and then looked up at Lin Qi's back.

Two seconds passed.

He then muttered to himself:

"This isn't a matter of talent anymore..."

Lin Qi breathed a sigh of relief as he walked inside.

Why ask such detailed questions? Then I can only make up some nonsense with a straight face.

You can't exactly say, "Sorry, Coach, I don't really know much about this either, but I have a system that solves everything!"

……

Back in the locker room.

Lin Qi was left alone in the room as his teammates all went to take showers.

He calmed himself down and began to examine the frame in front of him carefully.

[Match ended, settlement process underway!]

[Task completion rating: S-]

[He scored twice in his Serie A debut, rewriting the game's course with incredible efficiency! He demonstrated a tactical understanding and finishing ability beyond his years!]

Despite facing intense competition, he still managed to score a crucial goal and successfully drew the defensive attention, providing strategic value to the team's overall attack!

[However, due to the lack of performance from his teammates, he only managed to score two goals in this match!]

[Overall Assessment: You have initially demonstrated the ability to establish yourself in a top-tier league, but there is still room for improvement!]

[Mission Reward: One Golden Superstar Skill Card!]

Ok? !

S-?! They even gave out Golden Superstar skill cards?!

Does this mean that the reward pool contains more than just gold, silver, and bronze cards?!

If we can get an S rating in the future, will even more powerful cards appear?!

And what exactly is this rating based on?! Is it related to the difficulty of the competition? Or does it place more emphasis on completion rate?!

Or are there other factors involved?

Although Lin Qi has already received several rewards, he still hasn't figured out the system's workings.

Then, streaks of golden light appeared within the frame, as if announcing the rarity of this level of card.

Next, a pile of flat, golden-yellow cards appeared on the back, the patterns on them now transformed into menacing golden dragons, looking incredibly imposing!

Lin Qi was a little nervous when he drew a gold card for the first time, so he put his hands together in prayer.

Then I clicked on one of them...
