Chapter 26 The True Genius (One Hundred and Three/One Hundred and Thirty-Four)

Thanks to the overwhelming boos from the Real Madrid fans, Benitez was silenced. m

Lazio finally waited for their best opportunity.

In the 21st minute of the game, Real Madrid organized an attack from the midfield. After the football was passed to the midfield, a passing error occurred.

The passing force was too light, and Casemiro's fierce tackle made the Real Madrid players doubt and hesitate whether they could catch the ball.

So the football was shoveled by Casemiro, and the football he touched eventually fell to the feet of Ji Ming who was right next to him.

The young Chinese player quickly turned around after catching the ball.

Then facing the Real Madrid midfielder Christian Benavente who was lying in front of him, Ji Ming made a move to pass the ball to Faraoni who was on the wing, deceiving Benavente to focus on it. One side over there.

Ji Ming immediately twisted his hips, stretched out his foot to dunk the football, and then followed up with his left foot to push the football forward!

He broke through Real Madrid's midfielder Benavente so easily!

"season!"

the narrator exclaims.

Bernabeu...no, the boos in the stands at Microsoft Stadium suddenly grew louder.

This time it was against Lazio.

Ji Ming's sudden breakthrough caught Real Madrid off guard. They all thought that the most important way for Lazio to advance in the midfield was to pass the ball. Unexpectedly, Ji Ming chose to break through with the ball himself.

Sharp breakthrough and perfect rhythm control allowed Ji Ming to easily break through Benavente's defense.

Two other Real Madrid players immediately rushed over from two different directions, one on the left and one on the right, trying to flank him.

Ji Ming didn't hesitate at all, he moved the football forward. Keep accelerating!

This young player, only twenty years old, is extremely fast!

He rushed over before the two Real Madrid players closed the door!

Behind him, the two players collided. The man fell on his back!

"Beautiful! Beautiful straight line breakthrough! Ji!"

"Real Madrid's midfielder just let Ji penetrate it! Their defense is facing a big crisis!"

Because of Ji Ming's unexpected straight-line breakthrough,

Real Madrid's midfield defense didn't even have time to organize itself before it was penetrated by Ji Ming. In this way, Ji Ming directly faced Real Madrid's back line. Then he has many choices.

He can continue to break through, shoot on his own, or pass the ball.

All in all, so many options will make it very difficult for Real Madrid's players to defend.

When some players counterattack, they clearly have good opportunities, but they waste them because of their own indecision. For example, when they are really faced with the opponent's defense, they don't know what to do and have too many choices. Sometimes it's not a good thing for offensive players.

These players tend to be ordinary players.

Really top players have to know what they should do. They will make the right choice in a very short time.

in this regard. Ji Ming has such a talent!

When he faced Real Madrid's defense directly, he didn't hesitate or even slow down. He still maintained a very high speed, and then he passed the football to center Cavani who dropped back to receive him.

He didn't slow down after passing the ball. Instead, keep pushing forward.

Cavani did not pass the football directly to him. He turned his back to the offensive direction, and the accuracy of the pass was difficult to control.

And the football was given to Mario Gotze.

Gotze stopped the ball and directly passed the ball!

The ball went over the heads of Real Madrid's defense and dropped directly behind them.

At the same time, Ji Ming just broke out of Real Madrid's defense and crossed the line!

"Beautiful overhead pass! Chance for Lazio!"

※ ※ ※

Amid the boos and exclamations, Ji Ming, who rushed into the penalty area at high speed, looked back and determined the position of the football.

Then when he looked back, he saw the Real Madrid goalkeeper who had already attacked.

When the goalkeeper faced him, he made a "starfish save", which was invented by the legendary Manchester United goalkeeper Danish Schmeichel. He jumped up, spread his limbs like a starfish, and tried his best to expand. own defensive area.

In one-on-one close defense, there is a high blocking rate.

Twenty-year-old Ji Ming showed his extraordinary calmness at this time.

Facing the menacing Real Madrid goalkeeper, he didn't panic. He didn't even slow down or adjust his steps.

After the football fell from his head, he raised his right foot on the same side.

It's not a powerful volley, nor a stop, but a slight upward kick! This movement is done in one go, like flowing clouds and flowing water, very graceful!

The football flew up again in front of the Real Madrid goalkeeper, and then passed directly above his head between his hands!

"Ji——L!!!"

"Ji Ming! He went in! Breaking into the penalty area! Beautiful! Beautiful lob! A masterclass goal!!"

"Lazio 1:0! Ji! Ji! Ji——!!"

"An amazing attack! Lazio's speed was very fast, and Real Madrid's defense did not react at all! Their two carefully constructed defense lines were like a layer of window paper, which was penetrated by Ji Ming with one breakthrough!"

"The best goal of the game! From Ji——!"

When the football flew into the Real Madrid goal, the commentators were all crazy.

Because this goal was so wonderful!

Ji Leng's sudden breakthrough and acceleration were done in one go, just like a dragon, penetrating the Real Madrid defense.

But the most wonderful thing was his last shot.

Facing the ball from the air from behind, he did not stop the ball, nor did he volley it hard, but he made a very light lob shot with his inside foot while running, which was completely different from the previous rapid breakthrough. It was really a piece of cake!

A 20-year-old player. To have such a football IQ, it really makes people feel that he should have a bright future!

And at the age of 20, he is already the core of the Chinese national team, which is also very remarkable.

This goal explains. Why can he become the core of the national team at such a young age, and be favored and pursued by many giants.

※ ※ ※

After scoring the goal, Ji Ming seemed very excited. He turned around and ran all the way, declining those teammates who wanted to come up and hug him. Then he plunged into the coaching seat and hugged Chang Sheng!

He knew what this game meant to his godfather.

Godfather needed victory, he really needed victory.

Then he had to solve problems for his godfather and work hard to bring victory.

This ball, he hoped to give Lazio a good start in this game!

Others followed Ji Ming and ran over, quickly drowning the two of them.

Being able to take the lead away from home was of great significance for Lazio to win the game.

※ ※ ※

"Ji Ming! He is not the first Chinese player to score in the Champions League, but he is definitely the most dazzling figure in Chinese football now. Although he is only 20 years old! It is not easy to play as a main player in a team like Lazio. But I think his future is not just as simple as a main player! Thank you Lazio, thank you Changsheng, for training such an outstanding player for us! At the age of 20, he has the same maturity and calmness as a 30-year-old!"

Watching Ji Ming, who had finished celebrating, run back to the court surrounded by everyone. The Chinese commentator suddenly felt very emotional.

Although he has seen many Chinese players come to Europe to play football through the "Star Plan" agency in recent years, no one can bring him such a big shock like Ji Ming.

If some of those Chinese players can barely be regarded as excellent players. Ji Ming is obviously a superstar embryo.

In the past, Chinese media always reported on those players who went abroad to study as "geniuses", but in the eyes of this senior commentator of CCTV, it was all exaggerated, just to cater to the national self-esteem of Chinese fans.

Maybe they are "geniuses" compared to ordinary people, but compared to professional players, they are just ordinary professional players, not too outstanding.

Wu Lei did have a good performance when he played for Lazio, but everyone knows that even in Lazio, a player like Wu Lei is at most a quasi-first-class player in Europe, far from the top.

The main reason why he can succeed is because of the role of the Lazio team. Relying on this strong team, he will naturally have many honors.

And what about Ji Ming?

Everyone who watched him play football, even if they only watched him for more than ten minutes, could say with certainty that the child would have a great future.

This is Ji Ming's ability.

He dreamed that in the future, there would be a Chinese world-class star who could stand at the awards ceremony of the World Ballon d'Or and the European Ballon d'Or, take the glittering trophy, and announce to the world that China, as a populous country, can also produce world-class players!

After Ji Ming scored, the game resumed.

Lazio started their controlled play again, while Madrid was eager to attack and played more and more simply - they also realized that the team had problems in the midfield, and Lazio's pressing made it difficult for them to organize the attack easily, and they made too many mistakes.

So they played simply on their own initiative.

This was not Benítez's arrangement and adjustment, but purely the players' own intention.

This was certainly not Benítez's idea, because how could Benítez make such a stupid arrangement?

Benítez's Real Madrid is not a team that is good at long passes. They will cooperate on the ground and emphasize the two flanks.

And the organization of the midfield is very important.

Just bypassing the organization of the midfield and passing the ball forward is not what this Real Madrid is good at.

Benítez frowned even more when he saw the team playing like this.

Playing like this against Lazio is completely a dead end!
