Football: Starting from the Ronaldinho template

Chapter 12: Coming on as a substitute, Bundesliga debut!

In the Volkswagen Arena, Wolfsburg fans were very dissatisfied. Losing to Bayern was understandable, but Frankfurt was not strong, so how could they be forced into this?

Dieter Hecking's face on the sidelines was even more livid. His performance in the previous training match had already made him dissatisfied with Sebastian, but he still patiently gave him another chance.

But the result was obviously that Sebastian failed to live up to expectations.

"The defensive support from the defensive midfielders and wingers must be in place to prevent the opponent from easily breaking through the 30-meter line."

Dieter Hecking called Arnold and said.

However, Wolfsburg strengthened their midfield and backfield defense, which led to a decrease in the number and intensity of their attacking players in the frontcourt.

Even if De Bruyne is good at organizing, he can't cook without rice. Coupled with Hasebe Makoto's targeting, he feels like he is stuck in a quagmire.

Time passed quietly, and when two whistles sounded, the first half of the game came to an end.

"It seems that Wolfsburg still hasn't found their form. Perhaps Perisic's absence has had too much of an impact."

"After all, they were used to using their speed on the left side last season to assist De Bruyne in the middle to threaten the opponent's goal."

"I hope they can make good adjustments during the half-time break and try to play their best in the second half."

CCTV commentator Liu Jiayuan said that, but in fact he still hoped that Wolfsburg would fall into crisis, because then the probability of Qin Ming appearing would be greater.

However, to his disappointment, 15 minutes later, when the second half of the game began, Qin Ming was still sitting on the bench.

But Wolfsburg adjusted their tactics and began to consciously bypass De Bruyne, frequently shooting at Olic from both flanks.

The Croatian veteran is already 36 years old and is at the end of his career, even though he was once known as the legend who can never die.

But no one can resist the power of time.

So his performance in Frankfurt's defense was mediocre and nothing worth mentioning.

The 56th minute of the game.

The sideline ball thrown by Rodriguez was grabbed by Gustavo and headed to De Bruyne, who retreated unexpectedly and got the long-lost safe space.

He stopped the ball steadily in front of him, his eyes fixed on Frankfurt's backcourt.

The defense is positioned high up and Olic is making a run forward. Two key pieces of information are transmitted from the retina to the brain.

Then, he tilted his body slightly and swung his right leg hard!
Bang! The football drew a sharp arc and headed straight for the expected area.

"Frankfurt's defense is forward, and Zambrano has no time to retreat!"

"Is Olic going to have a one-on-one attack?!"

"No! Hasebe Makoto, he anticipated De Bruyne's pass and targeted Olic in advance!"

"Beautiful! He stopped Wolfsburg's one-on-one chance at the cost of a tactical foul and a yellow card!"

The camera turned to the sidelines, where Frankfurt head coach Schaff applauded gently with undisguised appreciation in his eyes.

Although Hasebe Makoto is only 180cm tall, his physical condition is not outstanding in the entire Bundesliga.

But his experience, skills, vision and ability to read the game are all excellent.

He can play with ease in Frankfurt's defensive system.

"He's the smartest defender in the Bundesliga!"

Scharf exclaimed.

As for the people next door, they were silent. Dieter Heijin took off his glasses and rubbed his eyebrows hard.

The opportunity that was finally found was blocked by the opponent.

When he looked up and saw Hasebe Makoto, he subconsciously turned to look at the bench and happened to see that young face.

Immediately, he no longer hesitated and said in a deep voice, "Nicholas, Junior, and Qin, warm up and get ready to go on the court."

He planned to replace three players at once and try to win in the latter stages of the game to see if he could completely secure the victory.

There was no other way, mainly because if it continued, it would just be a stalemate. After all, Olic's physical condition had seriously declined, and it was difficult to put much pressure on the opponent.

But if he only replaced Bendtner, we can only say that the strength of the Confident Emperor cannot be compared with his confidence.

Hearing this, Qin Ming raised his eyebrows. Although he had been prepared, it was still a difficult moment.

Well, I'm still a little excited.

Fortunately, the Volkswagen Arena can only accommodate 30,000 fans.

If the first game was at the Allianz Arena, I might have performed poorly due to too much pressure.

Bendtner, who was standing next to him, raised his head proudly, patted Qin Ming on the shoulder and said, "Don't be nervous. Look at my position. You just need to do what you are supposed to do."

Immediately, he looked at Frankfurt's goal, and flames seemed to burn in his eyes.

He wants to prove himself to the world.

Qin Ming was too exhausted to complain. He had searched for Bendtner a few days ago.

The news that left the most profound impression on him was that Arsenal's sports psychologist disclosed a test report to the Swedish magazine "Offside" in 2011, which aimed to show the players' self-confidence, concentration and determination.

As a result, in the [Self-awareness] column, Bendtner's score not only far exceeded that of his teammates, but he also managed to get 10 points out of a 9-point test paper.

The emperor is worthy of his reputation.

Bendtner knelt on the grass, lowered his head and kissed the grass, then stood up and jumped on the spot.

"Damn, this guy is not only confident, but also a histrionic personality! Danish boy, stand at attention!"

Qin Ming complained in his heart.

The whole audience's attention was attracted by Bendtner, and a glimmer of hope rose in the hearts of Wolfsburg fans again.

Because the confidence that Bendtner exudes from the inside out infected them.

As for the Frankfurt fans, they were a little panicked because Bendtner made such a big scene, giving them the feeling that the king of football was making his debut.

Qin Ming, who was standing next to Bendtner, was naturally ignored.

No one cares about this Asian player.

Even Hasebe Makoto on the field just took a quick glance and then looked away.

Soon, the game continued, and after substitutions, both sides obviously wanted to take this opportunity to break the deadlock.

But during the live broadcast on CCTV Sports Channel, Liu Jiayuan said excitedly:
"Our young player Qin Ming's Bundesliga debut is here!"

"After three years, a Chinese player finally appeared in the Bundesliga again!"

"The last Chinese player to play in the Bundesliga was Hao Junmin."

"On April 23, 2011, he started for Schalke 04 as a right-back, which was his only Bundesliga appearance."

"I remember clearly that behind him was Neuer, in front of him was Farfan, and up front were Raul and Edu."

"But unfortunately, Hao Junmin only had 14 Bundesliga appearances with zero goals and zero assists."

"I hope Qin Ming can score a goal or get an assist today!"

"Haha, maybe this will put too much pressure on him. As long as he performs well, it's fine."

Liu Jiayuan felt a little sad.

I don’t know when it started, but they no longer have expectations for Chinese players and no longer have hope for Chinese football.

Maybe there are many, many reasons.

But the ones who suffer the most should be the Chinese fans. They often come with high expectations, but end up leaving disappointed.
