Football: Starting from the Ronaldinho template

Chapter 26: Perfect escape, leaving everyone far behind, and breaking the curse!

“After the game resumed, Everton took advantage of the situation and began to strengthen their midfield possession!”

"The new ideas that Martinez has injected into the team have made the team that seemed boring and conservative under Moyes become synonymous with sexy Premier League football!"

“But Wolfsburg’s defense is also very resolute, especially on the connecting line near the 30-meter line!”

Zhan Jun evaluated the situation on the field very objectively.

When McCarthy received the pass from Stones, he passed the ball to Naismith despite the harassment from Caligiuri.

But before the latter could catch the ball, a green and white figure came and hit him like a boulder.

Bang! The strong Naismith stumbled and failed to control the ball, which was intercepted by De Bruyne.

"Nice interception! He is not only the offensive center of Wolfsburg, but also a key figure on the defensive end!"

"Although Mourinho and De Bruyne have different football philosophies, he has also said that De Bruyne's physical talent is among the best in the entire European football world!"

"Come and see Wolfsburg's counterattack!"

In the eyes of De Bruyne who was dribbling the ball, Goodison Park was a defense that quickly dispersed and reorganized.

To see whether a team is strong or not, we must look at the moment of transition between offense and defense.

The double defensive midfielder configuration of Barry and McCarthy blocked most of the central passing routes, but there were always flaws in the movement.

"Don't let him pass the ball!"

Barry suddenly had a bad feeling and yelled at McCarthy.

McCarthy, who moved from Wigan for £1300 million last summer, became a favorite of Toffees fans in just one season.

His consistently brilliant performances have made him the blue engine in the defensive midfield position.

The average of 3.3 steals per game is the best proof.

He just took a sudden step forward, trying to block the best route for the ball.

That's right, the best defensive player's first consideration is not whether the opponent will pass the ball, but in which direction to pass the ball to get the greatest benefit.

next moment.

There was an incredible scene on the green field.

De Bruyne tilted his body slightly, forming a 45-degree angle with the football, and swung his right foot instep to accurately touch the ball.

Snap! A crisp sound floated out, and the football rolled out along the grass.

In front of tens of thousands of pairs of incredulous eyes, a perfect arc was drawn.

Everton's double defensive midfielder line was precisely cut into two halves by this arc at this moment.

The camera moved rapidly with the football and locked onto Wolfsburg's No. 13.

He ran with all his might, using his long legs, in the breeze blowing from the banks of the Mersey.

People come and balls come.

Wow! The fans at the scene exclaimed at the pass, and Everton fans quickly turned their eyes to Coleman.

The full-back that Everton bought from the Irish League for 7 euros has grown into a player in five years.

And his biggest characteristic is maturity, knowing what to do best on the court.

Qin Ming stared at Coleman with sharp eyes, but found no flaws.

So, he increased his speed again and tried to break through from the wing.

What are the defensive principles of a full-back?
They are placed outside rather than inside, so their body direction is generally closer to the inside.

The instantaneous explosive power was fully released, making Qin Ming shoot out like an arrow.

"Force a breakthrough from the side!"

"He's half a body length away from Coleman, but when will Stones make up for it?"

"His defensive awareness is too strong!"

Qin Ming also discovered Stones' figure, so the breakthrough on the wing could no longer continue.

When he saw Coleman chasing after him out of the corner of his eye, his thoughts and steps were synchronized - sudden stop!

At the same time, he also half-turned and pulled the ball.

"Fuck!" Coleman rushed over and cursed in his heart. But he was not worried because Stones was there.

Stones, who is only 20 years old, not only replaced Distin, but also conquered Martinez.

A player who plays with his brain. This is how Martinez described him.

When Stones went forward with confidence, his eyes widened the next moment.

Because after Qin Ming pulled the ball with his left foot, he immediately pushed the ball with his right foot.

The football left a sharp mark on the grass, avoiding Stones' outstretched long legs.

"Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful!"

"Qin Ming used two simple moves to get rid of the defensive support of Coleman and Stones and ran away!"

"Only Jagielka remains before him!"

Zhan Jun only felt a flash before his eyes, and Qin Ming rushed out of the double-team and then rode away.

Everton's left center back looked at Olic, hesitated for a moment, and then chose to take the initiative to grab the ball.

no way.

Since he is closest to the ball handler, he can only bet on himself to steal the ball.

"Qin!"

However, Qin Ming heard Olic's call, and when he approached Jagielka, he shook his ankle slightly and passed the ball to him.

However, he did not stop, but passed Jagielka and entered the penalty area.

Sure enough, Olic had the same idea as him, which was a simple two-pass.

Catch the ball, stop the ball, and adjust!
All in one go!
In the blink of an eye, he completed his preparations, locked eyes with the far post and pushed with his right foot.

Shoot!

Bang! Howard, who once played for Manchester United and served as Edwin van der Sar's substitute, subconsciously fell to the ground and dodged.

But even if he stretched his body to the extreme, he couldn't stop this tricky shot.

When the football crossed the goal line and hit the net, the away stands erupted in loud cheers.

"The ball goes in! The ball goes in!"

"De Bruyne's magical pass and Qin Ming's brilliant escape from the wing. The two of them made the impossible possible!"

"Look at how he turned and pushed the ball just now. His football talent is almost overflowing from the screen!"

Zhan Jun was so excited that he stumbled over his words.

Zhang Lu took a deep breath and said solemnly into the microphone, "In the 42nd minute of the game, Wolfsburg equalized the score!"

"Not only that, the Chinese player's zero-goal curse in European competitions has also been broken. The one who broke it was Qin Ming, who is only 17 years old this year!"

"Despite the public's doubts and pressure, I think he has proven his ability!"

Goodison Park was much quieter.

Qin Ming ran to the corner flag area and vented his passion by sliding on his knees.

"Vamos!!!"

Then he stood up, pumped his fist and roared.

He once saw in a short video that many players liked to shout this sentence at the top of their lungs after scoring a goal.

You know what. It feels really good.

And this goal means so much, both for himself and for Chinese football.

The excitement that was so intense that it was difficult to control spread along the nerves to every corner of the body.

He seemed to no longer feel tired.

"You kid can do it!"

The Wolfsburg players who followed hugged Qin Ming and yelled. They had previously thought that Qin Ming was double-teamed, and the best possible outcome was that the opponent would knock the ball out of bounds.

But I didn’t expect it would be a surprise for them.
