Football: Three sure-fire weaknesses in every match!

Elena crossed her arms, adopting a businesslike demeanor:

"This is something Uncle La specifically instructed me to do."

He said…

"You are currently in the rising phase of your career."

"You absolutely must not become addicted to life off the court."

"Especially..."

She paused deliberately.

His gaze swept over Lin Qi's phone screen.

"Women's beauty".

Lin Qi: "..."

Elena continued in a serious tone:

"Many talented players are ruined by women, alcohol, and nightlife because they become famous too quickly."

"You must stay focused."

"Maintain self-discipline."

"Stay away from temptations that will affect your performance."

Lin Qi listened without refutating.

He simply nodded slightly.

"clear."

Elena stared at him:

"Do you really understand?"

Lin Qi smiled and waved his phone:

Don't worry.

"This method of contact is a work requirement."

"It's just a matter of social interaction."

"I can distinguish between what's important and what's not."

Done.

His expression gradually calmed down.

to be frank.

Those female celebrities were indeed very beautiful.

Her temperament, appearance, and style... among ordinary people, she is definitely at the level of being stunning at first glance.

But Lin Qi also knew the answer in his heart.

She's pretty as pretty as she is.

At most...

She's pleasing to the eye and has a great figure.

Do you really have other thoughts?

Not quite.

He has only one thing on his mind right now.

Become stronger.

Because he knew it very well.

The reason why I am surrounded by flowers and applause is because of this.

It's not because I'm handsome.

It's not because I can talk.

It's because!

You played well!

If one day my performance declines, I'll become just another ordinary person.

Everyone who revolves around you today will unhesitatingly idolize the next genius tomorrow.

This isn't just true of the professional football world; society as a whole has always been this realistic.

Thinking about this...

Lin Qi clenched his fist slightly.

His eyes sharpened again.

The next round of matches...

Coming soon.

"We need to keep up the good work."

He muttered to himself.

……

After returning home.

Lin Qi looked down at his phone.

Several unread messages were prominently displayed at the top of the screen.

They were all sent by Ouyang Nana.

Are you home yet?

I had a lot of fun recording the show with you today, haha.

You're amazing at volleyball!!

Let's play together again next time!

Lin Qi glanced at it.

His expression remained unchanged.

I turned off the screen and put it directly on the table.

There was absolutely no intention to reply.

next second.

He turned on his computer.

Put on your headphones.

A familiar name quickly popped up on the screen...

Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Ibrahimovic's incredible bicycle kick highlights

Just when you thought he couldn't shoot, he scored.

One of the most incredible strikers in football history

What is a real cactus-making machine?

The video just started playing.

The rousing background music instantly filled the room.

In the video, Ibrahimovic's tall and slender figure flashes by repeatedly.

Volley, bicycle kick, scorpion kick, half-turn blast...

Various unconventional ways of scoring goals were staged one after another.

The commentator's almost screaming voice reverberated through the headphones:

"This isn't a goal! This is art!!!"

"This isn't a shot! This is genius trampling on the physical laws of football!!!"

"Nobody knows how Ibrahimovic will handle the ball next, because even he seems to be improvising!!!"

Lin Qi's gaze gradually became serious.

The body unconsciously leans slightly forward.

They began to analyze Ibrahimovic's changes in center of gravity, the angle of his leg lift, and the extent of his body extension.

……

Meanwhile.

On the other side of China.

Today, behind-the-scenes footage from the preview episode of "Variety Holiday: Mediterranean Edition" has been edited into a short video and released ahead of schedule by the production team.

In just a few minutes.

The content is extremely simple and crude.

Lin Qihai makes his appearance at the beach.

White T-shirt, shorts, and sunglasses.

His first appearance was a slow-motion close-up.

Several female celebrities took the initiative to surround and chat with them.

The beach volleyball player leaps up and spikes the ball.

The entire audience screamed.

Lin Yun blushed and praised, "You're so handsome."

Ouyang Nana smiled and leaned closer, saying, "You're even more handsome in person than on TV."

Guan Xiaotong joked, "Many girls in China are searching for you."

The final shot freezes on Elena's words:

"I am Lin Qi's 24-hour personal assistant."

Coupled with her slightly "murderous" smile.

The entire video is brimming with tension, ambiguity, and entertainment value.

The comment section exploded instantly.

[Holy crap?! Lin Qi, you're having a blast, aren't you?!]

[He beat Inter Milan badly the night before, and today he's surrounded by beautiful women filming a variety show? What a winner in life!]

[I'm stunned! This setup is even more satisfying than a wish-fulfillment novel!]

[Wait, there are three top-tier actresses surrounding him?? Dude, are you playing soccer or are you the male lead??]

[Lin Qi is truly something else! After bringing glory to the country, he immediately started enjoying life!]

soon.

The focus of the discussion among netizens gradually veered off course.

They started arguing about which actress was prettier.

I'm rooting for Lin Yun! His gentleness is like a celestial presence!

[Bullshit! Ouyang Nana's youthful first love vibe is unbeatable!]

Guan Xiaotong's long legs are truly amazing!

[You know nothing! Elena wiped them all out in a second!!]

Holy crap, that foreign assistant was amazing!

[Blonde wavy hair + aloof face, I'd switch sides immediately!]

Followed by.

Some insiders suddenly came forward to reveal:

According to rumors, Lin Qi seems to prefer foreign girls in private.

My friend works on the show, and he said his relationship with that foreign assistant was clearly more than just friendship.

Is it true? Lin Qi likes this kind of thing?

[Nonsense, look at his assistant's looks and figure, could any normal man resist?]

[Understood, Lin Qi's aesthetic sense is international.]

The comments section went awry.

Some people have even started to seriously analyze Lin Qi's criteria for choosing a spouse.

……

And at this very moment.

Lin Qi, who was far away in Italy, knew nothing about this.

Beauty?

Variety show?

Online rumors?

Put them all behind you.

Because he knew it very well.

In a few more days.

What truly determines everything...

It's still the stadium.

……

at the same time.

Far away in Turin.

In Juventus's huge tactical analysis room, only the screens flickered with a faint blue light.

Massimiliano Allegri sat alone in front of the screen.

And what's playing on a loop on the screen...

It's a video recording of the Sampdoria vs. Inter Milan match.

To be precise.

It's a compilation of all of Lin Qi's ball touches.

Allegri rested his chin on his hands, his gaze fixed intently on the screen.

After a long pause, he muttered to himself:

"This young man... is indeed quite interesting."

He slowly leaned back in his chair, his eyes slightly narrowed.

"However, Sampdoria's real attacking engine is Bruno Fernandes."

"That kid's passing and forward vision are the core of the whole system."

Allegri tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his tone growing increasingly resolute:

"As long as we cut off Bruno Fernandes' passing lanes."

"Don't give him the space to calmly observe and deliver a through pass!"

"Sampdoria's overall attacking threat has been reduced by at least half!"

Speaking of it.

His gaze returned to Lin Qi.

The footage shows Lin Qi's ghostly run before his second goal.

Allegri's brows furrowed slowly.

His expression became somewhat serious for the first time.

"As for this Lin Qi..."

He recalled what the youth team coach Grosso had said to him a few days earlier.

"This kid can't be defended using the same standards as a regular striker."

"His positioning and goal-scoring instincts are exceptional."

"If he finds space, he might only need one chance to kill the game."

At the time, Allegri didn't really take it to heart.

but now……

After watching the video.

He had to admit it.

Lin Qi is quite capable.

Allegri rubbed his temples and murmured:

"Although I scored two goals in the first game, to be honest..."

"This kid isn't the type who can overwhelm others with just one absolute ability."

"Speed? Not the fastest."

"Physical strength? Not the strongest."

"Dribbling? Not exactly top-notch."

But unfortunately...

He stared at the screen and slowly exhaled.

"It's all thanks to Bruno Fernandes' passes; without them, he'd have a hard time scoring!"

"As for that goal that involved a powerful collision with the defender, it was entirely because Inter Milan's defense was made of paper."

This type of player is a typical rim protector.

You know he's dangerous.

But it's hard to predict...

Where exactly will he appear from?

Allegri remained silent for a long time.

Finally, he muttered to himself:

"We can only restrict the source of the pass first."

"Make sure the defense is more focused."

"Don't give him a chance to get started easily."
