Football: Three sure-fire weaknesses in every match!

[Set piece (new): 0→65!]

[Pass: 55→70!]

[Vision range: 60 → 70!]

[Decision: 60 → 65!]

Then the selected diamond card was flipped over!

After several blinding flashes of white light, Pirlo appeared wearing a red and black military uniform!

The constant stream of pop-up messages made Lin Qi's eyes shine brighter and brighter.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a diamond card; its free kicks have instantly risen from zero to the level of a top player.

I should now have the basic ability to open up the game with free kicks, which will give me more options in the game!

Andrea Pirlo! He is one of the most elegant midfield maestros in football history!

He wasn't just passing the ball! He was "writing the game"!!

World Cup Champion! Champions League Champion! Serie A Champion! He once stood at the center of an era, dominating the football field with unparalleled ease!

He possesses a time-lapse rhythm as precise as a clock! He has a mind that can slow down the entire game!!

[When it comes to "free kicks," he doesn't simply shoot! He's practically writing the ball's fate in advance!]

That was a silent and elegant figure! Standing in front of the ball, it seemed as if the entire stadium fell silent, awaiting his decision!

He can curl the ball over the wall with a single shot! Even though the goalkeeper can clearly see the ball, he can only watch it drop into the corner of the net!

He is the "Sleepy Master" on the football field! The ultimate commander who blends calmness, wisdom, and artistry!

Unfortunately... his speed and physical strength were never top-tier!

If he possessed even greater athleticism, perhaps he wouldn't just be a midfield maestro, but a true creator of the football field, dominating everything!

Lin Qi looked at the name.

I sat up a little straighter.

Pirlo.

He had certainly heard of that name before.

But he didn't know exactly how strong it was before.

So he picked up his phone and started searching.

soon.

A series of resumes popped up.

Although he is now quite old and far from mainstream leagues, he still plays in MLS.

Italian midfield maestro.

He played for Inter Milan, AC Milan, Juventus, and other teams during his professional career.

During his time at AC Milan, he formed a highly dominant midfield system with Gattuso, Seedorf, Kaká, and others.

He won the Champions League and Serie A titles with AC Milan.

He later transferred to Juventus, where he helped the club rebuild its dominance in Serie A.

At the national team level.

2006 World Cup Champion.

One of the key figures in Italy's victory.

In the final against France, he played the full match and calmly converted the penalty in the shootout.

A man who can control the rhythm of the entire game with passing in the midfield and backfield.

Long pass.

Short pass.

Rhythm.

Transfer.

Set piece.

Free kick.

All top-tier.

Many people say that watching Pirlo play is not like watching an athlete compete.

It's more like watching an artist write poetry on a lawn.

Especially free kicks.

His footwork is very unique.

It can kick in an arc.

They can also play the knuckleball.

It can also find the goalkeeper's most uncomfortable position in a very small space.

Lin Qi's eyes grew brighter the more he looked.

nice one.

It's definitely a good product.

What he lacks most right now is set-piece ability.

He already had quite a few tactics for mobile warfare.

Positioning.

sprint.

Header.

Dribbling.

End.

However, the area of ​​free kicks was previously almost entirely unexplored.

it's good now.

A picture of Pirlo.

Address the shortcomings directly.

Especially in matches between strong teams.

Opportunities for mobile warfare are becoming increasingly rare.

The opponent's defense is becoming increasingly targeted.

In situations like these, a single free kick in the attacking third can decide the game.

Lin Qi couldn't help but start making plans.

Free kicks count.

What about corner kicks?

If it's a set piece master technique.

A corner kick should also be somewhat relevant, right?

……

The thought had just arisen.

He hadn't even fully processed the surprise brought by the diamond card.

Suddenly, new text popped up in the frame again.

[New achievement point achieved: First time in my career helping the team keep a clean sheet!]

[Achievement Completion Rate: 4/100]

[Reward: One Golden Legendary Skill Card!]

In Lin Qi's field of vision.

Rows of golden cards were slowly laid out.

Unlike the brilliance of a diamond card.

This time, the golden light was extremely sharp.

"A clean sheet victory..."

"That counts as achievement points?"

Lin Qi was slightly taken aback.

They quickly realized what was happening.

Football is never just about scoring goals.

One shutout.

It represents the defensive integrity of the entire team.

This means that the goalkeeper, defenders, midfielders, and even forwards worked together to complete the defensive task.

not to mention.

This is Sampdoria's first clean sheet in an official match this season.

Still in San Siro.

They're still facing AC Milan.

This is indeed of high quality.

"If the captain knew this shutout would give me a huge boost in card usage..."

Lin Qi couldn't help but chuckle.

"He probably wants half of my bonus."

He stretched out his hand.

He paused for a moment in front of the row of gold cards.

This time.

He didn't hesitate much.

Press it directly.

"Let's get tough."

Flip the card.

A burst of golden light suddenly erupted.

Like lighting a cannon.

Like a war god drawing his sword.

next moment.

The system text appears.

[Card draw complete! Golden Legendary Skill Card now available!]

Congratulations on obtaining the "God of War Skybreaker: Batty Heavy Cannon" skill!

[Passive Effect: Significantly enhanced shooting ability from outside the penalty area! Improved instep power, stability of the supporting foot, shooting explosiveness, and long-range shot speed! When given space to shoot from the edge of the penalty area or its outer perimeter, the threat of long-range shots increases dramatically!]

[Active Effect: Can trigger "Batistuta Cannon" outside the penalty area! Unleash a powerful shot with the instep of your foot, propelling the ball at cannonball speed, creating a shot that is extremely difficult for the goalkeeper to save even if they correctly anticipate it!]

[Additional effects: Increased shooting power, ball speed, and penetration! If the shot hits the target area, it will greatly increase the probability of the goalkeeper fumbling the save, the defender's second clearance being chaotic, and the opportunity for a follow-up shot in the penalty area!]

[Limitations: Requires a high level of support from the supporting foot, body balance, and sufficient space to take the shot! Shooting accuracy will be affected if the shooter is closely marked, their shooting posture becomes distorted, or their physical condition significantly declines! High-intensity use will place additional strain on the thigh muscles and ankles!]

Lin Qi looked at the name on the card.

His breath hitched slightly.

Batistuta.

Argentine warrior.

Heavy artillery outside the penalty area.

This card is completely different from the abilities he currently possesses.

If Inzaghi is a ghost...

Ronaldinho is magic.

Pirlo is elegant.

Batistuta was pure violence.

The most direct way.

The most domineering.

The most unreasonable.

Lin Qi stared at the line of skill names.

The corners of his mouth slowly turned up.

"A long-range shot from outside the penalty area..."

"Now it's all made up for."

Previously, when facing a dense defense.

He relies more on positioning, breakthroughs, counter-attacks, and handling the situation in the penalty area.

But things are different now.

If the other party retreats too far.

If the restricted area is blocked.

If the middle lane suddenly gives you half a second to kick.

Then he can just bomb it directly.

It's not about looking for opportunities.

Instead, we use our strength to create opportunities.

The system frame continues to display text.

Gabriel Batistuta! He is one of the most aesthetically pleasing and violent strikers in football history!

He wasn't shooting! He was "smashing the goal"!!

[Argentine legend! Florence, an eternal icon! He once made the entire Apennine Peninsula tremble with his powerful shots!]

He possesses explosive power like a beast! He has a powerful instep shot that strikes fear into the hearts of goalkeepers!!

When it comes to "long-range shooting," he doesn't look for the right angle! He forces the angle out of the way with sheer force!

That was a ferocious and arrogant figure! Just a single sweep of his leg on the edge of the penalty area sent an instinctive sense of danger through the entire defense!

He can unleash a shot without warning! With a powerful, cannon-like strike, the ball tears through the air like a cannonball and crashes into the net!

He is the "executioner outside the penalty area" on the football field! A super striker who combines power, killer instinct, and the desire to finish!

Unfortunately... the era and team environment he played for prevented him from remaining at the pinnacle of the Champions League for an extended period!

If he had a more stable system with top clubs, his goal-scoring legend might have been even more phenomenal and unstoppable!

[Shots on goal: 90 → 92!]

[Strength: 60 → 70!]

[Physical fitness: 30 → 50!]

Lin Qi finished reading the last line.

She leaned slowly against the headboard.

That night at San Siro.

The benefits he gained were enormous.

Pirlo's free kick.

Batistuta's long-range shot.

An elegance.

A violent one.

One is responsible for circling the ball into a dead end.

One of them is responsible for blasting the ball into the goal.

Lin Qi looked down at his right foot.

Suddenly I'm looking forward to the next match.

If the opponent blocks the penalty area again.

Let's give it a try.

War God Heavy Cannon.
