Manchester United's heir apparent, but can't play football.

Chapter 109 Copycat Midfielder?

Chapter 109 Copycat Midfielder?
“We still remember that 19-year-old Bosnian midfielder Pjanic, who scored a goal at the Bernabéu and led Lyon to eliminate Real Madrid in the Champions League.”

"His free kicks were learned from young Juninho."

"Among the new generation of midfielders, Pjanic and Çalhanoğlu have a large number of free kicks and an extremely high accuracy rate."

Other aspects might raise questions.

But free kicks are something that are actually kicked.

Pjanic's free kicks were learned from Juninho for three whole years.

His teammates and head coach at the time all thought so, but Pjanic himself disagreed. In an interview with the media, he stated, "While I learned some crucial things from Juninho, my free kicks were entirely developed through my own hard work."

Wolfsburg captain Benaglio was carefully directing the human wall.

The entire defensive line was on high alert.

Li Luo also stood in the wall of players, intently watching Roma's penalty kick.

From God's perspective, countless red lines spread out, entangled Pjanic's model.

The reward he received after the first leg of the Europa League match deepened his understanding of the knuckleball. He has been practicing it every day since then, and now he can completely capture all of Pjanic's power movements simply by using the Controller module.

copy.

"Did Totti really let Pjanic take the penalty?"

"As he gets older, his temper has improved. A few years ago, when Oswaldo took a penalty from him, he didn't mind at all and even offered a few words of encouragement."

"Alright, the referee blows the whistle."

"Pjanic."

"Start your running start!"

Pjanic felt a little uncomfortable, as if his whole body was being tightly bound by something strange.

Perhaps they are unfamiliar with the climate and soil of Lower Saxony.

He completed his run-up.

Arrive at the ball.

Bah!
Football is on the rise.

They climbed over the human wall.

Then it changed direction and started falling!

Wolfsburg goalkeeper Benaglio, after a desperate save, realized in an instant that the clean sheet bonus was gone.

The white net ripples.

0:1! ! !

The arena echoed with gasps of amazement.

The huge red wolf tore the husky's armor apart.

The Roma players rushed into the net, picked up the ball, and ran towards the center circle.

We're still down by one goal on aggregate!
It's not time to celebrate yet!
As Pjanic ran, he clenched his fists, his expression confident: Tonight, I will not lose to any Wolfsburg genius!
"Pretty!"

"Leaf ball!"

"Looking at the slow-motion replay, there was a very obvious change in direction during the fall, so it's normal that Benaglio couldn't stop it!"

Pjanic breaks the deadlock!

"His skill amazed everyone."

"The suspense of advancing is back!"

"That's the magic of football! Roma is fighting back! Wolfsburg won't let their guard down."

Studio.
-
That was a beautiful knuckleball!
-
I think I see a bit of Juninho Jr. in him.
-
It's unbelievable that the young Metz team back then could have gathered so many talented players like Pjanic, Mane, and Koulibaly.
-
[I saw an interview where they said Mane didn't know how to play back then. When the coach told him to go left, he'd go right. His teammates thought he was stupid. But once the game started, Mane's speed and changes of direction were like he was on fire.]

They conceded a goal right at the start?
Wolfsburg's defense is under a lot of pressure.

The captain was a bit confused, stunned by that arc.

Can understand.

Back in the day, Juninho's dipping shot stunned many goalkeepers.

Courtside.

Black Gold's face darkened, his expression becoming grave.

He held down the flustered teaching assistant.

"do not be afraid!"

"The game has just begun."

“We have Li.”

The other side.

Rudi Garcia patted his chest and pumped his fist twice in celebration.

He then loudly reminded the Roma players on the field not to forget the pre-match instructions.

The game restarted in the middle circle.

Bendtner's kickoff pass went directly back to Li Luo.

Rome doesn't seem to be in a hurry.

After pulling one back, they patiently built up their central defense: their confidence in local matchups and their strategy of shortening transition distances demonstrated their determination.

"Let's see how Li Luo organizes it."

"Rome did not form a double defensive line tonight; they will fight this counterattack in the most decisive way."

The football is near the center circle line.

Nainggolan quickly pulled out from the central defensive line and charged fiercely at Li Luo.

This time, there was no hesitation in refusing to seize the opportunity.

There were many people behind him.

He could engage in head-to-head battles with Li Luo without any restraint.

The midfield maestro, ranked second in all defensive interception statistics in Serie A, has reached its peak in terms of fighting power.

come on.

Let's settle this once and for all.

A genius of China.

far away.

De Bruyne kept turning his head, observing the situation on the field.

It's hard.

Roma's central defensive line has also been extensively optimized.

Wolfsburg will be difficult to conquer in a short time!

'Li is under immense pressure, having to deal with Nainggolan on one hand, and figuring out how to break the deadlock on the other.'

Snap! Snap! Snap!
The football is passed between the green jerseys.

Followed by.

Nainggolan reacted with lightning speed, immediately pushing off the ground! He launched an aggressive tackle! Like a Collie chasing its prey, he was determined to intercept Li Luo, who was turning to meet the ball, preventing Wolfsburg's key player from connecting and breaking through.

Cut it off!

Sever Wolfsburg's control chain!

In the public arena, tens of thousands of spectators held their breath: the maneuvering between the playmaker midfielder and the predator midfielder was being reenacted once again.
But then, something completely unexpected happened!

Snapped!
The Chinese boy's instep did not get entangled with the football at all; it only touched it lightly, like a dragonfly skimming the water, before separating.

A dragonfly touches the water.

A tremendous force.

The ball flew like an arrow, heading straight for the weak spot on the right side of Roma's central defensive line.

87 points in passing, Maradona's ball control.

The two are perfectly united.

Nainggolan quickly adjusted his center of gravity, stopped the inertia, and his gaze froze for a moment.

He looked up again, gazing at the trajectory of the football.

what?
In such a high-pressure environment, how could he deliver such a precise long-distance shot with just one kick?

Black Gold was so startled that his jaw dropped slightly.

Garcia stood frozen in place, his face full of astonishment.

The stands of the public arena resounded with gasps of amazement.

"That arc?"

"Wow!"

"A long pass of this quality, without any adjustments, can actually be kicked out in one go?"

"Like an antelope hanging its horns, leaving no trace! How elegant!"

"Look at his posture when he takes the first step, that movement... is incredibly elegant!"

"Almost everyone in the world thought he would stop and dribble past Nainggolan, confront him head-on, and then use his intelligence to break down Roma's central defense. No one expected him to choose a one-touch pass!"

"Vision! Li Luo's pass precisely exploited the most fatal gap on Roma's weak side!"

"A perfect blend of spatial awareness and one-touch passing, coupled with top-notch passing skills, catches opponents off guard!"

"Absolutely brilliant!"

The commentator rattled off a rapid-fire monologue, speaking at the fastest pace he'd ever been.

Studio.

Chinese fans also used their fastest typing speed ever.
-
【handsome!】
-
Even a butcher like Nainggolan couldn't slow down Li Luo's passing speed?
-
[Li Luo's passing seems to have improved. Even under pressure, his long passes are still at that level?]

The camera followed the trajectory of the football. De Bruyne suddenly appeared in the frame.

He ran while trying to suppress his shock:
"Even with Nainggolan's killer midfield pressure, Li's pass still managed to precisely pierce the weak side of Roma's central defense?"

"The power, trajectory, and lead of the pass were all perfect."

"Is this Li's wisdom in not getting bogged down in how to break through Rome's optimized central defensive line?"

"Correct."

“Make it simple!”

"A master's mindset. His long pass wasn't just a pass to me; he also accurately calculated the opponent's defensive turning speed and positioning."

Amid cheers.

De Bruyne easily controlled the ball on the wing.

He then leaned forward, raising his arms and swinging his legs.

Snapped!
The football skimmed along the grass, tracing an rainbow-like arc as it slid towards the vacuum zone in Roma's half.

That's really impressive.

Like a marble.

"rainbow!"

"Pretty!"

"The Wolfsburg twins' connection! Easily dismantling Roma's defensive depth."

Wolfsburg's attack surged forward like a tidal wave.

Rome's defensive line adjusted extremely quickly, showing no signs of panic, and deployed and retreated in an orderly manner.

Bendtner, who is over 1.9 meters tall, shoved Manolas aside as the ball came in.

Followed by.

The moment he received the ball, the Arsenal legend was brought down.

Beep!
The referee blows the whistle.

"Yellow card!"

"Mbia received a yellow card."

Wolfsburg has been awarded a free kick.

A thunderous applause poured down from the stands.

The audience was breathing heavily, their cheeks flushed, and they exclaimed: "That was amazing! Li Luo's attack was brilliant! It's a pity Bendtner isn't a top-class striker, otherwise that ball would have gone in!"

Courtside.

Hei Jin crushed the mineral water bottle.

Almost there.

Rome was just a hair's breadth away from falling into the abyss.

"If Wolfsburg scores just one more goal, how many goals would Roma need to score to overtake them and advance?"

The teaching assistant was rambling incoherently.

The coaching staff were completely focused on the game and didn't count the goals.

The other side.

Rudi Garcia tugged at his hair in exasperation.

"Letting Bendtner go doesn't seem to be a problem. He might not be able to score. De Sanctis has already made his move."

"Now, we will face Li Luo's crescent moon blade."

The Roma assistant coach quickly said, "Boss, you've made thorough preparations for defending set pieces, and the goalkeeper has carefully studied Lee's free kick!"

"Correct!"

On the green football field.

De Sanctis was carefully directing the human wall.

Adjust the height and width.

Intentionally leaving one side open to misdirection.

On the outermost edge of the wall, De Rossi walked up to Mbiwa and whispered a reminder: "You have to be like Ayala, with my lightning-fast reaction time, jumping the instant Beckham kicks Li Luo!"

The little black egg widened its eyes and pointed to its face: "Me? Ayala?"

The camera zooms out slightly.

Li Luo arranged the soccer ball.

Take a few steps back.

From God's perspective, the red line extends.

"It's that familiar prelude again! We may soon witness a crescent moon slicing through the night sky!"

Take a deep breath.

"Looking towards the goal."

Beep!
The referee blows the whistle.

Li Luo began his running start.

The Roman wall was a little surprised: this running start... doesn't seem like a crescent moon scimitar.

Pjanic looked disdainful.

Bah!
The crisp sound of the instep striking the ball touches the hearts of countless people.

The football lifted off the ground, drifting up with a slight topspin arc. As it passed the top of the wall, its height clearly exceeded expectations, as if it were about to glide across the top of the crossbar towards the stands.

The players inside the Roman wall looked up, some relaxing their tense bodies, and some even letting out a long sigh of relief: "That ball was too high, it's definitely going out of bounds."

The cheers from the stands subsided as everyone's eyes followed that trajectory upwards until...
The football in mid-air suddenly seemed to lose all its strength and abruptly lost speed.

No longer climbing upwards, it is like a withered leaf on a branch in late autumn, exhausted and without the support of the wind, it suddenly gives up struggling, and the originally gentle arc becomes steep in an instant, as if it is being pulled hard to the ground by an invisible hand.

During its descent, it carried a very slight side spin, grazing the lower edge of the crossbeam as it fell.

Continuous changes of direction!!!

A dreamlike moment.

The Roma goalkeeper, who had been retreating towards the outer line along his initial trajectory, suddenly had his pupils contract and was launched into the air as if by a spring.

That's too late.

The white net ripples.

1:1! ! !

It's not a crescent moon blade, it's fallen leaves!

Pjanic was dumbfounded.

Li Luo stood still, the night wind blowing her clothes.

Instead of running away, he calmly opened his arms to welcome the cheers of the audience.

Crash.

The Volkswagen Arena erupted in a thunderous roar of cheers as tens of thousands of fans rose to their feet, responding to Wolfsburg's number 10 with the utmost enthusiasm.

Wolfsburg teammates swarmed in!

De Bruyne was stunned for several seconds, unable to come to his senses.

Benaglio was incredibly excited: Tonight's backdrop will definitely be the opposing goalkeeper!

"Pretty!"

"The ball is in!"

"Fallen leaves!"

"A leaf that far surpasses Pjanic's fallen leaves!"

"An unbelievable trajectory, with continuous subtle changes in direction in the air, leaving the goalkeeper completely baffled!"

"Like...like a withered leaf slowly falling in the autumn wind!"

"This is Li Luo!"

"A genius midfielder, Li Luo!"

The commentator was so excited that he became incoherent.

Coach Zhang was utterly shocked. There really are some things in the world of football that reflect the beauty of nature.

Studio.

The barrage of comments flew by.
-
Wow, that's amazing!

Pjanic, his resolve is broken.
