Football: Three sure-fire weaknesses in every match!

Chapter 26: A Renowned Coach Breaks Down?! De Boer's "Blessing" and the Media's

At this moment, de Boer changed the subject, and the smile on his lips seemed more like a forced smile:

"but……"

"In the world of football, stories like this are actually quite common."

"Every season, there are always young players who deliver amazing performances in a particular game."

"The media will shower it with praise."

"The fans will cheer excitedly."

"It's as if the next superstar has already been born."

"But the real problem is..."

"How long can he maintain this?"

The scene immediately fell silent.

Many reporters' eyes lit up.

The smell of gunpowder is rising.

"One game doesn't prove much."

"Truly great players need to consistently deliver high-level performances over a long period of time."

"Instead of being praised to the skies by the outside world just because you're in a good state one day."

Speaking of it.

He shrugged slightly and gave a rather charming smile:

"Of course, I wish this young man all the best in the future."

"only……"

"The history of professional football tells us..."

"There are far more people who are short-lived and only have a fleeting moment of fame than those who truly succeed."

A slight commotion immediately arose from the audience.

Many reporters have already started frantically typing away to take notes.

……

The press releases swept across the football scene in China and Eurasia like a tidal wave.

De Boer's seemingly complimentary but actually sarcastic remarks sparked a media frenzy.

Countless reporters rushed over, drawn by the smell of tension, eager to make this spectacle the top headline story.

Losing the game and losing face! De Boer's post-match sour grapes! While praising Lin Qi, his words subtly implied that he was just a flash in the pan!

Inter Milan suffers a shock defeat! De Boer refuses to concede, his attempt to maintain composure at the press conference betrays his envy!

Sore loser?! De Boer breaks down against a rising star! He offers blessings while simultaneously cursing – where is the sportsmanship of this top manager?!

"De Boer's mentality was shattered by a newcomer's brace! He sarcastically remarked after the match: 'I've seen plenty of young players like this!'"

The most sour press conference ever! De Boer tries to appear refined by commenting on Lin Qi! Netizens exclaim, "Jealousy can distort one's true nature!"

Of course, South Korean and Japanese media also joined in the fun.

South Korean media outlet A: Japan's stalwart defender was completely outmatched by China's prodigy! Yuto Nagatomo was relegated to the background throughout the match, and the myth of Japanese football has been shattered!

South Korean media B: Once Asia's top full-back? Nagatomo was utterly helpless against China's rising star! The decline of Japanese football is a fact!

South Korean media C: A shift in Asian hegemony! Japan's core has suffered a humiliating defeat! The true king of Asia has always been South Korea!

...

Japanese Media A: A formidable foe has emerged! China's sharpest weapon tears through the defenses; the next generation of Blue Warriors must train even harder!

Japanese media B: A new challenger has emerged in Asia! Yuto Nagatomo accepts defeat calmly after the match, saying his opponent possessed the power to change the game!

Japanese media C: A thrilling clash between East Asian teams! A rising Chinese star shines in Serie A; the Blue Samurai's future is not to be underestimated!

……

As one trending topic after another emerged, major sports forums, Weibo, Tieba, Hupu, and Dongqiu communities across China exploded with excitement!

The comment section immediately turned into a massive attack.

- [Wait, what's with this Dutch coach, Dennis?? He led Inter Milan and got thrashed twice by Lin Qi, and instead of reflecting on his terrible tactics and leaky defense, he's just being sarcastic and saying Inter Milan's performance was a flash in the pan?? That's such an ugly face! If you can't handle losing, don't be a coach! I hate people who pretend to be all refined and easygoing on the surface, but are secretly as sour as lemons!]

- [This is hilarious!! De Boer probably hadn't even heard of Lin Qi before the match, and then he got thrashed like this in his debut. His face turned green after the match, but he had to pretend to be calm! And then he said, "I've seen plenty of young guys like this." It almost made me die laughing. Isn't this a classic case of being stubborn after your defenses are broken? It's like that clown who gets crushed by the top student in an exam and then sourly says, "He only played well this time."]

- [De Boer's actions are hypocritical; he's clearly emotionally broken but pretending to be rational and objective! If he really dislikes Lin Qi so much, why did he have Nagatomo and Medel surrounding him? They were practically four people swarming him from behind, yet he's still acting like he doesn't care. He's shameless!]

- [Honestly, I almost cried watching Lin Qi play today! How many years has it been since I've seen a Chinese player play like this in one of Europe's top five leagues? And he wasn't just a substitute in garbage time, nor was he just a fringe player running back and forth. He started right away, went head-to-head with Inter Milan, was the man of the match, and scored twice!!]

- [Chinese football has finally seen hope!!! I've been waiting for this day for over a decade!!! Before, I always envied other countries' talented players when I stayed up all night watching games, but now it's finally our turn to have our own superstar!!!]

- [James Paul is absolutely a talent scout! A genius like Lin Qi, if he were a coach, would probably be kept on the bench and slowly developed because he's Chinese. But Paul boldly used him, and after one game, he became a legend! A coach who dares to use rookies, has guts, and has vision deserves to win!!]

- [To exaggerate a bit, LeBron James's move today was reminiscent of Zhuge Liang's brilliant strategy or Zhao Yun's decisive battle at Changban Slope. The whole world thought you were crazy, but you calmly smiled and said, "This boy can defeat the enemy." Then Lin Qi went up and utterly crushed the entire team! So cool! Absolutely so cool!]

Inter Milan has now been taken over by a Chinese board of directors, hasn't it?! The head coach is so disrespectful to the Chinese players, why aren't you firing him?! Are you keeping him around for the holidays?! If you don't fire this guy, Inter Milan will be blacklisted for life!!

……

After taking a shower.

Lin Qi changed into simple casual clothes, his hair still a little damp, and a sports bag slung over his shoulder, preparing to leave the court.

I just walked into the outdoor interview area.

A familiar shout in Chinese came through:

"Lin Qi! Lin Qi! Over here!!"

Several reporters wearing domestic media credentials were waving excitedly at him, their faces beaming with joy.

"Could you do a brief interview? Just a few questions!"

Lin Qijian, being from the media in his hometown, naturally stopped and nodded.

The microphone was handed to him instantly.

The lead reporter, suppressing his excitement, spoke rapidly:

"Lin Qi, congratulations on your brace in your debut and for being named Man of the Match!"

"However, Inter Milan coach De Boer just commented on you in the post-match press conference, saying..."

The reporter paused, clearly considering his words:

He said... "Many young players like you are just a flash in the pan, and it's hard to say what the future holds."

"Do you have anything to say about this?!"

The surrounding reporters all held their breath.

The camera lens zoomed in instantly.

Everyone knows that this issue is very sensitive.

A bad answer can easily cause trouble.

But no matter whether Lin Qi replies or not, or how he replies, it will become the next trending topic.
