Football: Starting from the Ronaldinho template

Chapter 31 The Spittoon and the Holy Grail

Volkswagen Arena.

Crowds of people.

Last season, Leverkusen surpassed Wolfsburg by 1 point to rank fourth in the league, thus qualifying for the Champions League play-offs.

Wolfsburg can only play in the Europa League with great difficulty.

Therefore, when Wolfsburg fans saw Leverkusen fans, their unhappiness was almost written on their foreheads.

With the home advantage, they kept booing at the away stands, and Leverkusen fans were not to be outdone, responding harshly with middle fingers and curses.

"Look at Leverkusen's head coach: Schmidt!"

“I heard he used to be Loc’s quality manager. I wonder if he used 5S or Six Sigma when he coached the team!”

"Haha! When it comes to automotive quality management, I'm much better than him. So, could I also be able to coach a Bundesliga team in the future?"

"."

The die-hard fans in the stands chatted and belittled Schmidt.

Fans in the away stands mocked Dieter Hecking, saying that he could only lead a relegation team and that Wolfsburg would be trampled under their feet every season in the future.

The endless verbal battle between the two sides made the atmosphere extremely heated before the game even started.

At the pre-match press conference.

Leverkusen head coach Schmidt told the media: "Wolfsburg recently had a kid who could fly the ball all the time. I watched a few of his games and I can only say that he is very talented."

"I wonder why Bayern Munich let him go?"

"But I suspect they'll have him within half a season. By the way, does Bayern have a buy-back agreement?"

Schmidt said maliciously.

Leverkusen has had a tough time recently. Two important offensive players are being sought after, and they have also stated that they do not want to renew their contracts.

So he wanted to create some difficulties for Wolfsburg.

You know, Qin Ming is now a hot new star in the Bundesliga. Who wouldn't want to bring him to their own club?

But Bayern is the mountain standing in their way.

You know, there are many dreamers in football: for example, Ersa and Huang.

And the players who grew up in the Bundesliga seem to have dreams of becoming successful.

Who knows if Qin Ming is one of them.

In another conference room.

"No, no, no, Qin Ming still has a lot of room for improvement. Compared to focusing on a young player, I think Leverkusen's Son Heung-min and Calhanoglu already have mature technical characteristics and are definitely more worthy of everyone's attention."

"Also, the contract Bayern signed with Qin Ming is a youth training contract. There are no unnecessary clauses, such as forced repurchase, secondary profit sharing, etc."

When Dieter Hecking heard the reporter's retelling, he angrily changed the subject.

In the players tunnel.

Qin Ming saw Son Heung-min with thick bangs, and the latter also looked over and observed him carefully.

There was no communication between them. After a moment, they both looked away in tacit understanding.

Qin Ming glanced at Calhanoglu. This guy will have a famous name in the future: the born rebel king of Çalhanoğlu.

He has been making spectacular moves since he entered professional football.

For example, he received a signing fee from Trabzonspor, but then went back on his word and joined another team. In the end, he was banned for four months and had to give back the 10 euro signing fee.

Also, he pretended to be sick and went on strike to force Hamburg to agree to his transfer.

Soon, players from both teams, led by the referee, walked out of the slightly dim player tunnel.

"Good evening, viewers!"

"Now we are broadcasting the 4th round of the 2014-15 Bundesliga season!"

"Wolfsburg vs. Leverkusen at home!"

"Leverkusen had a perfect start to their Bundesliga campaign, beating Dortmund 2-0 and then Hertha Berlin 4-2, but since the international break, their form has clearly been off. "First they were held to a 3-3 draw by Werder Bremen, and then lost 0-1 to Monaco in the Champions League group stage."

"In comparison, Wolfsburg is in great form. After losing to Bayern at the start of the league, they defeated Frankfurt and Hoffenheim to win two consecutive games, and even drew with Everton, a rising star in the Premier League, away from home."

Commentator He Wei gave a brief introduction.

After finishing his World Cup commentary duties, he began to serve as the host of "Football Night".

But recently the station transferred his job again.

That’s right, the Bundesliga.

Because with the retirement of several old commentators, the Bundesliga does not have enough good people to take charge.

That's why I thought of He Wei, who performed outstandingly during the World Cup.

It's just that he had been commentating on La Liga before, so he has been staying up late to study related knowledge recently.

The eye sockets look slightly blue.

"Now let me introduce you to the starting lineups of both teams!"

"Wolfsburg wore their green and white home jerseys. Dieter Hecking lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation. The goalkeeper was:."

"The difference from the last game is the striker. Veteran Olic may be physically exhausted and will be absent. The starting player is Dutch striker Dost."

"He scored the equaliser against Everton."

"Let's take a look at Leverkusen's starting lineup. Schmidt also chose 4-2-3-1. I have to say that this formation is used a lot in the Bundesliga."

"It's mainly about a more balanced attack and defense, and it doesn't demand too much from the players. For example, Bayern Munich's recent three-center-back system, without sufficient individual ability, would be hindered in defense."

"Oh, Leverkusen's starting lineup is as follows, basically all the main players are playing."

"You know, although Wolfsburg only had two days of rest, Leverkusen only had one more day than them, and the intensity of the Champions League is higher than that of the Europa League."

"Okay, the full game has begun, let's turn our attention to the field."

He Wei looked at the screen with great interest.

After he finished commentating the World Cup this year, he couldn't help but fantasize that one day he would be able to commentate on his country's game at the World Cup.

But what happened before made him lose confidence.

But as he said:

Football is my love and where my faith is stored.

Chinese football is not that great, but I can't help but love it, because it is the embodiment of me and my compatriots. Its excellence and humility reflect my soul.

Even if Chinese football is a spittoon for many people, it is still my holy grail.

Now that he sees hope, he naturally wants to follow him and witness his growth.

The camera returns to the court.

Wolfsburg planned an attack right after the kick-off, trying to advance from the left.

Leverkusen is weird.

In the writings of many football commentators, they are typical of those who only attack and not defend.

Beckenbauer once said: If you have 100 reasons to trust his offense, you have 100 reasons to discredit his defense.

Perhaps this is the football philosophy of the former automotive quality manager.

When Qin Ming received the pass from De Bruyne, he took a step forward, faked a move, and stopped suddenly to shake off Rasband.

He is the twin brother of Sven Bender who plays for Borussia Dortmund.

The two of them also completely conform to the principle that twins have different personalities.

The older brother is good at defense, while the younger brother likes to attack.

"Don't stretch your legs!" Rasband reminded Donati, and then he hurriedly chased back.

Seeing that there was no chance of a breakthrough, Qin Ming pretended to sprint with the ball, but in fact he played a No Look Pass.
