Football: Three sure-fire weaknesses in every match!

After listening, Lin Qi revealed a faint smile on his face.

"Mr. de Boer is... actually right."

The reporters present were instantly stunned.

"Professional football does indeed have many players who are only briefly outstanding before fading into obscurity."

"They only played well for one or two games, and then disappeared from the scene."

The reporters' expressions gradually became strange.

What happened?

Is it really necessary to be so humble?!

People are mocking you to this extent! Quickly show your youthful arrogance and hot-bloodedness!

next second.

"But I think..."

"Before judging others, it's more important to do your own job well first."

Holy crap.

coming! ! !

Lin Qi continued calmly:

"After all, some people haven't even solved the problems in their own team's defense."

"Yet they've already started planning careers for other people."

"This shows that he... manages his time quite well."

"..."

That's too cruel!!!

That's too cruel!!!

That's a direct slap in the face!

Can!!

"Furthermore, I don't think one game can prove much."

"I completely agree with what Mr. de Boer said."

"so……"

"I hope that when we meet again, he will have the opportunity to continue evaluating me."

"The premise is..."

"He was still sitting in that seat back then."

boom!!!

What does this sentence mean?!

This is a direct mockery of De Boer's precarious position as manager!

Several Chinese reporters standing nearby blushed.

My hands were shaking with excitement.

A new title is here!!!

The main title is here!!!

Lin Qi simply nodded politely.

"Alright, I have to go back now."

Thank you everyone.

After saying that, he turned and left.

Only a group of reporters remained, furiously typing away on their keyboards.

"Killing someone by destroying their spirit! Lin Qi retorts to de Boer: Manage your defenses first!"

"You should keep your job first! A rising Chinese star responds forcefully to criticism from Inter Milan's coach!"

……

After experiencing the life of a professional player these past few days, Lin Qi has become increasingly proficient in using the system.

He gradually began to understand how to be a professional player who truly stands in the spotlight and has a certain reputation.

From the initial instinctive nervousness and restraint when facing the camera.

Now, she can stand calmly in front of countless flashing lights and handle all kinds of tricky questions with ease.

...

And soon.

Lin Qigang's interview video was then uploaded to the internet in its entirety with Italian and English subtitles added.

De Boer's stubbornness after losing a game is not a very likable trait.

Lin Qi's seemingly polite but actually incisive response was a textbook example of a scathing retort.

Sampdoria fans are completely captivated.

They initially liked Lin Qi simply because he scored two goals in his debut.

Now there's another reason.

He's got the skills! He's got guts! And he's got a knack for insulting people!

Who wouldn't like a player like that?!

Even many previously neutral Serie A fans have begun to show interest in Lin Qi.

After all, the world of football is never short of talented players.

However, he is a promising young player with both ability and personality, who dares to confront the head coach of a top club head-on.

That's extremely rare!

As for China, the excitement reached a fever pitch.

Overnight.

Lin Qi's popularity among fans has surged once again.

Sharp and capable, yet not arrogant.

She has a temper, but she doesn't lose her sense of propriety.

They dare to fight back against provocations and remain calm and composed in front of the camera.

This is definitely a future superstar!

……

The next morning.

Sunlight streamed into the room through the gaps in the curtains.

Today is a day off for the team after winning the game.

Lin Qigang finished washing up.

A soft sound of a key turning came from outside the door.

The next second, the door was pushed open.

Elena walked in carrying a tray, her movements as natural as if she were returning to her own home.

This had long become the unspoken routine between the two.

During breakfast or dinner time on weekdays, Elena would always use her spare key to enter the house directly, bring him food, and remind him of various training and daily life arrangements.

of course.

That's because the other person is a young woman.

If it were any other man going in and out of his house every day with his own key...

Lin Qi would probably change the lock that very day, let alone get used to it.

Today, Elena changed into a simple and refreshing home outfit, with her long brown hair casually tied back. She looked less capable than she usually is at work, and more gentle and homey.

On the plate were fried eggs, sausages, toast, and a glass of hot milk.

The aroma is tangy.

You've gotten up just in time.

Elena smiled and placed the plate on the table:

"I made it especially early so we can eat it while it's hot."

Lin Qi smiled, picked up his fork, and took a bite.

The taste was surprisingly good.

While it wasn't particularly amazing, it was clearly made with care.

The two chatted as they ate.

Halfway through the meal, Elena suddenly seemed to remember something and spoke up:

"Oh, by the way, just a reminder."

Don't schedule anything else for this afternoon.

Lin Qi made a meal:

"What's wrong?"

Elena smiled mysteriously:

"You're going to record a TV show."

"...?"

Lin Qi looked up, completely bewildered:

What program are you recording?

"A variety show from China."

Elena took a tablet out of her bag and handed it over:

"The Mediterranean Edition of Holiday in the Rain"

Lin Qi glanced at it, and his brows furrowed instantly:

"Variety show?"

"Who gave that permission?"

Elena said calmly:

"The Chinese program team contacted the club owner, Ferrero, last night."

"The boss agreed immediately."

"Then I contacted Uncle La again."

They all agreed that...

"This is a good thing."

Lin Qi's lips twitched:

"no……"

"I finally got a day off, and now I have to record a show?"

"That's too much trouble."

He slumped into the chair, looking utterly dejected.

"I just want to stay home and play games all day."

Elena couldn't help but laugh:

"Being a professional football player isn't just about playing football."

She patiently explained:

"You're different now than you used to be."

"You're starting to gain recognition."

"A brace in his debut, and he's trending across Asia."

"It's very important to strike while the iron is hot and expose yourself at this time."

Lin Qi curled his lips:

"Is it that important?"

"Of course it's important."

Elena counted on her fingers, analyzing each point carefully:

"First, increase domestic popularity and public awareness."

"Many ordinary viewers don't watch football, but they watch variety shows."

"They'll get to know you after you go on the show."

"Second, increase commercial value."

"When brands choose spokespeople, they look not only at achievements, but also at exposure and influence."

"The more exposure you get, the higher your future endorsement fees will be."

"Third, cultivate a public image."

"Let the fans know that you're more than just a football player."

"You have personality, charm, and a zest for life."

"This is crucial for building a personal brand."

Fourth, increase media resources and discourse power.

"When you become a superstar, the media will naturally favor you more."

"fifth……"

"The boss will be even happier."

"You're his cash cow now."

"Cooperating with this will also help your future status in the club."

Lin Qi: "..."

He remained silent for a long time before finally sighing.

"Why does playing soccer feel more tiring than going to work?"

Elena smiled and rested her chin on her hand:

Welcome to the world of professional football.

Lin Qi shook his head helplessly:

"Alright."

"What time does it start?"

Elena's smile widened even more:

"Two o'clock in the afternoon."

"The location is on Liguria Beach."

"I heard that the Chinese female celebrities who came today are all quite beautiful."

Lin Qigang took a sip of milk and immediately looked up upon hearing this:

"Oh?"

Elena squinted.

The smile suddenly turned dangerous.

"What do you mean, 'oh'?"

Lin Qi immediately coughed:

"...I just said 'oh' casually."

Elena snorted coldly:

"That would be best."
