Football: Starting from the Ronaldinho template

Chapter 19 Hoffenheim’s targeting!
"Good evening, viewers!"

"Now live for you is the third round of the 2014-15 Bundesliga season!"

"Hoffenheim plays against Wolfsburg at home!"

"In the three games between the two teams last season, Wolfsburg won two of them, but in the last game, Hoffenheim won 6-2!"

“So I think today’s game will be exciting!”

"Here are the starting lineups for both teams!"

"Hoffenheim lined up in a 4-4-2 formation, goalkeeper:."

"The one worth noting is Firmino. Seeing him reminds me of Ibisevic. If he hadn't been injured during the winter break in 2009, perhaps the Bundesliga landscape would have been changed!"

"Until now I often wonder, if Ibisevic could play in the second half of the 2008-09 season, could Hoffenheim repeat the Kaiserslautern miracle?"

"If Hoffenheim does win the championship, will the management pay more attention to the management of the team and concentrate on forging it in the future, and eventually establish Hoffenheim as a top Bundesliga team?"

"Sorry I got a little off topic, let's take a look at Wolfsburg's starting lineup!"

"Dieter Hecking still chooses 4-2-3-1, which is also the preference of the veteran German coach. Goalkeeper:."

"Among them, the Chinese player Qin Ming deserves our attention. He scored a goal and provided an assist in the last match, making it a perfect Bundesliga debut!"

"Let's wait and see how he performs today!"

Liu Jiayuan's eyes were full of anticipation.

Fans also took the opportunity to chat on platforms such as Tieba and Hupu before the game started.
-
After looking at Wolfsburg's schedule, I realized they'll be playing in the Europa League in six days.
-
[I don't know if Qin Ming can play.]
-
[Let's watch this game first. Hoffenheim's overall strength is still very good. ]
-
[Especially Firmino, he doesn't play like a center forward at all, he plays more like an attacking midfielder.]
-
[And Joel Hummels, who looks like a bear, so big and strong that it's scary.]
-
【.】

The camera returns to the Rhein-Neckar Arena.

Qin Ming listened to the cheers in his ears, his blood seemed to be boiling and his emotions became excited.

After the players from both sides took their positions, the referee blew the whistle and the game began.

Beep! ! !
Hoffenheim guessed the direction of the coin and chose the right to kick off, but they did not rush to launch an attack, but instead made continuous passes in the backcourt.

The purpose is of course simple: to make Wolfsburg press forward.

Only in this way can Hoffenheim get the backcourt and wing space they want.

But Dieter Hecking has more experience. Before the game, he warned the players to be patient and that rash attempts would only lead to bad results.

Hoffenheim passed the ball back and forth for a few minutes before it came to Firmino's feet.

Brazilians have a unique sense of organizing offense.

He found that Wolfsburg's right side, where Sebastian was, was slightly disconnected from his teammates in the middle.

Therefore, after colliding with Modeste, he unexpectedly made a diagonal pass to the wing.

Adam Szalai, who was on the side, started early and received the ball half a body length ahead of Sebastian.

Immediately afterwards, he did not give the opponent a chance to steal the ball, and directly hit the ball to his teammate with his heel.

"Andreas dribbled past Malanda!"

"Want to shoot directly?"

"No. Let's go find Modeste. He looks like the typical dark and tough guy, and can play the role of a fulcrum very well!"

On the field, Modeste held Knoch with his back and passed the ball to Firmino just before Gustavo pounced.

With plenty of space, the Brazilian no longer hesitated and aimed at the goal with a powerful shot.

Bang! Unfortunately, Firmino's shooting skills were poor and the ball flew directly into the distant stands.

However, the fans at the scene were still very enthusiastic. They used loud cheers to cheer for their own players and put pressure on the opposing players.

"How many times have I said this? The midfielder's interception strength must be high, and the wing defense must be fast!"

Dieter Heijin in the command area shouted while shaking his hands.

"Okay, boss!" Caligiuri, who was near the side of the court, responded quickly and then conveyed the instructions to his teammates.

Perhaps drawn back to their senses by Hoffenheim's attack, Wolfsburg's players avoided further mistakes, securing a solid defense while also seeking offensive opportunities.

However, Hoffenheim's defensive strategy was to surround the midfield at all costs and restrict De Bruyne without restraint.

I have to say, the effect is great.

Wolfsburg's ball distribution system was cut off and they could only rely on long passes from the backcourt players.

But with Hummels on board, Hoffenheim has never been afraid of anyone when competing for high balls.

"Wow! Gustavo's footwork is pretty good. This time he didn't look for Caligiuri on the opposite side, but Qin Ming on the same side!"

"Süle's positioning is very sophisticated, come here as quickly as possible!"

"No suspense! The first landing point was taken by Juller, and Qin Ming was almost knocked down!"

At the Rhein-Neckar Arena, Qin Ming rubbed his sore shoulders and thought to himself that Hummels was really fucking strong.

If he hadn't restrained his strength in time, he would have fallen flat on his face.

"You can't fight him head-on."

Qin Ming thought silently, looked at De Bruyne, and pointed behind him.

What do you mean?
De Bruyne understood it instantly, and this meant that he was asked to move his position back to avoid Hoffenheim's midfield encirclement.

As for the side effect of reduced threat, it can only be compensated by footwork.

Soon, Wolfsburg's adjustments took effect.

As De Bruyne took the initiative to retreat, Hoffenheim also pressed forward in order to suppress him.

But this exposes a larger backfield space.

The 33th minute of the game.

Salihovic from Bosnia and Herzegovina wanted to use a lob pass to cross Wolfsburg's defense.

But Hoffenheim has Hummels and Wolfsburg has Knoch.

Knoch, who is 189cm tall, first blocked Modeste closely and then passed the ball to the goalkeeper behind him.

Benaglio!

Wolfsburg's goalkeeper, who also serves as captain, did not hesitate after receiving the ball. He threw the ball into the air and kicked it sideways.

Bang! In the blink of an eye, the football crossed half the field and landed in front of the running Caligiuri.

He has played in all positions except center back and goalkeeper, and his experience is beyond words.

Lift your foot to stop the ball steadily and adjust your movements immediately.

When he kicked the ball hard with his instep, the football flew up and then fell down in a spin.

"A very standard inside-foot arc long pass!"

"I'm looking for Qin Ming at the other end of the court!"

After moving rapidly, the camera locked onto the figure of Wolfsburg No. 13 running at full speed.

On his right was Hummels, who gritted his teeth and tried his best to chase back.

But can an aircraft carrier catch up with a destroyer?

No.

So he could only pin his hopes on the equally flexible Strobl.

Qin Ming glanced at the bearded German full-back who maintained his frequency of touching the ball while moving at high speed.

A sense of oppression. Strobl, who was in a defensive posture, actually felt a strong sense of oppression coming from the young boy in front of him.
