Football: Three sure-fire weaknesses in every match!

Chapter 49: Get your body back to its best condition!

From unknown to dominant force! Lin Yong fulfilled decades of Chinese football's dream in just 90 minutes!

"The man even Buffon couldn't stop! Lin Qi's three decisive finishes—this is the template for a top striker!"

"This will happen many more times in the future"—Lin Qi's words shook the football world; what confidence does this demonstrate?

One man tears apart Serie A's most solid defense! Lin Qizheng is becoming a true icon of Chinese football!

Ibrahimovic commented on Lin Qi: "He reminds me of myself when I was young, but he has his own path. This kind of confidence can't be trained."

Cassano reveals: "Lin Qi's appearance made me feel completely at ease leaving. Sampdoria no longer needs me; please ask the club to terminate my contract!"

Lippi's Unusually Tough Stance: Players of This Level Must Be Included in the National Team System! Not Calling Up Lin Qi? That's a Crime Against Football!

National team head coach Gao Hongbo responds to Lin Qi: There are no plans to call up Lin Qi at the moment, no comment.

The national team remains calm: Lin Qi is popular, but there are no plans to include him in the system for now.

South Korean media, on the other hand, were full of sour grapes.

South Korean media: Lin Qi may shine, but football is not about individual heroism.

South Korean media questioned: If Lin Qi wants to succeed at the national team level, he needs a team, not just a performance. Unfortunately, China lacks a team, leaving him isolated and helpless.

"Playing table tennis might increase his chances of winning a gold medal"—South Korean media offers sharp commentary on Lin Chi.

……

The comments section was in an uproar.

Refresh in one second.

That's hundreds of new comments.

Brothers!! Remember this day!! This is history!! This is the first Chinese player to score a hat-trick in one of the top five European leagues!! No matter how many years pass, this moment will be remembered again and again!! The name Lin Qi will be written into history books!!!

[Who's the most outrageous one? It's Zlatan Ibrahimovic!! When has this guy ever praised a young player? Isn't he always the self-proclaimed number one?? He actually said Lin Qi resembled himself in his younger days?? That's incredibly presumptuous!!]

But you know what... this match really had that vibe!! Especially the way that last goal was handled!! That kind of unreasonable finishing, so reminiscent of Ibrahimovic!! Not that the skill level is the same, it's that aura!!

[Lippi has spoken out!! He even said that not being selected for the national team is a crime!! Is this even a question?? We absolutely have to look forward to the national team's performance!! It feels like they're about to take off!!!]

[I want to see him in the national team jersey right now!! Let's give it our all in the World Cup qualifiers!! Maybe we can really make it!!]

But soon.

Another group of voices emerged.

[No, I just want to ask one question: What is Gao Hongbo saying? 'No plans at the moment'? Why aren't they recruiting? What are they waiting for? Waiting for someone else to be naturalized?]

If the national team had a finisher like Lin Qi, would they still have trouble scoring goals? Wouldn't they be halfway to victory in the World Cup qualifiers? I really don't understand this strategy...

[Could it be some internal problem again? Factional ties? Relationships? Resource allocation? Did someone's position get threatened? Is that why they're afraid to act?]

To put it bluntly, aren't some positions in China already 'fixed'? If they were to be replaced, wouldn't a whole host of issues arise? Those who know, know...

The controversy quickly escalated.

But some people have begun to analyze the situation calmly.

[Don't rush to criticize, Xiao Gao might not be wrong.]

[Let's think about this first! Among foreign players in the Chinese Super League, which type is the most sought after? Is it the kind who can dribble, break through defenses, and shoot all by themselves? The kind who can solve problems in one go?]

Lin Qi's current strengths, to put it simply, are finishing ability and space utilization! So the question is: who in the national team's midfield can consistently provide him with the ball?

If you send him to the national team, won't he be effectively shut down if the midfield can't get the ball out of play?

[In that Serie A match, he had someone of Bruno Fernandes' caliber feeding the ball and linking up play! What about the national team? Who's doing that?]

The comment section fell silent for a moment.

Someone added:

[You can recall from national team matches how many times the strikers stood there calling for the ball, only to have it passed across, back, or even lost in midfield.]

[If Lin Qi went to that kind of environment, he'd probably be kicked into hiding! Then you guys would all call him a fraud!]

[So the problem isn't with Lin Qi! It's with the system! It's with the midfield! It's with the overall team ability! It's not something one person can solve!]

Likes surged dramatically.

But someone immediately countered:

[Does that mean we'll never use new people again? If the environment isn't good, we won't use them? Then what's the point of development?]

Strong teams are built step by step! Having good players but not using them, waiting for a system to come along? When will that system arrive?

The debate escalated again.

The two sounds began to collide.

At the heart of all the debate is one name: Lin Qi.

……

The next morning.

The Ligurian sunlight streamed into the room through the curtains.

Quiet.

It even carried a rare sense of ease.

Having rushed back overnight, the entire Sampdoria team was somewhat exhausted.

Head coach Giampaolo was generous this time, giving everyone a day off.

The reason is simple.

Winning away from home.

And they won beautifully.

Lin Qi, however, was not idle.

He was carrying a ball.

Walk down to a small open space outside the door.

With a gentle push of the foot.

Outer instep.

Inner instep.

Another knock.

Cow's tail.

The movements were a bit clumsy at first.

But after a few moves, the rhythm suddenly became smooth.

The ball seemed to be "glued" to his feet.

As the body sways.

Natural flow.

Again.

Faster.

Cleaner.

Lin Qi stopped.

He looked down at the ball.

Then I couldn't help but laugh.

"this one?"

He could hardly believe it.

last life.

He saw these actions on TV.

That feeling was almost divine.

The result is now.

myself actually...

It's already possible to make it?

"This is so awesome..."

He muttered to himself.

If we talk about the improvement in previous abilities...

It also feels like a slight boost to the numerical values.

That's completely different now.

This is a leap forward in technology.

A feeling of being able to play ball however you want.

At this moment, Lin Qi...

I am well aware of this myself.

His ability structure has begun to become exaggerated.

Ground termination.

Positioning awareness.

Combat capability.

In addition, there's the dribbling creativity he's just acquired.

Even aerial capabilities.

That bronze card filled a crucial gap.

Although it's just a bronze card.

But it is precise and deadly.

"The weakest link has been addressed."

Lin Qi was well aware of this.

More importantly, this is just the beginning.

As the types of competitions become more and more diverse.

The opponents are becoming increasingly diverse.

His skill tree will continue to expand.

Shortcomings.

They will be filled in one by one.

"In the end..."

He didn't even dare to think about it further.

Just then.

"What are you doing?"

A voice rang out.
