Chapter 23 Getting Better

Within five minutes of the game, Martinez and Echeta were booked for elbows and tackles. The scene where players from both sides often fall together also illustrates the intensity of the game. Qu Jing didn't have many chances to touch the ball, and the high pressing of the Athletic Bilbao players was very successful, creating a fault line between Real Sociedad's back line and midfield.

Suseta and Raul Garcia were always pressing and interfering as soon as he got the ball, making it uncomfortable for him to push forward comfortably, and he tried to take advantage of the depth of the opposition players' compressed space.

Seven minutes later, he sent a long ball from Susetta's close defence, Canales took the ball from an offside position on the right side of the pitch and cut to the box, and scrambled to his feet in Valenziaga's quick return to defend and the ball bounced off Laporte, who had stepped forward to block.

Athletic Bilbao's style of play is extremely simple, just now the ball was still at the feet of Canales, in the blink of an eye has been hoisted back to the Real Sociedad penalty area, Aduriz could not take advantage of the scramble with Martinez who was close to the defense, when he tried to pass back to San Jose with a header, he was intercepted in the air by the warp that saw his intentions, he rubbed the ball with his left foot, and his body went around the right side of San Jose who pounced, this time he stopped and stopped, very simple and practical, and won a warm applause from the fans.

Just as he was about to give the ball to Pardo on the left, San Jose, who had already been freed, quickly brought him down from behind with a tackle. The speed was so fast that the commentator immediately screamed at the brutal foul before he could praise Qu Jing's action, and the home crowd also booed San Jose to express their displeasure.

High pressing can be very destructive for offense, but the biggest problem is that it is difficult to hold on for long periods of time and is prone to fouling. After San Jose received a yellow card, he did not dare to press too much and play easily, Qu Jing made full use of this mentality, when his teammates are suitable to receive the ball, he will choose to pass the ball first, and when there is no better space, he begins to consciously control the ball and get rid of it.

He has enough confidence to get rid of the defense and intercept the ball in tight spaces, which comes from his "ability" that is almost peculiar: "He can judge the real movements of opposing players with extraordinary accuracy, and can be one step ahead of others in the frequency of movements." ”

That's why he was able to make the leap from an amateur player to the professional league, and he became more and more confident as he tried his best in training and his fitness and technique improved dramatically under Corone's tutelage.

In the 14th minute, Qu Jing used his heel to cushion the throw-in thrown by Erutondo on the left side of the opponent's half, and cleverly stuffed it to Bella, who took the ball through the crotch and broke through Demarcos and chose to knock back, and Canales, who received in the middle, followed up with a kick, but unfortunately was blocked by Echeta, who reacted quickly.

Qu Jing's seemingly understated but murderous "flash of inspiration" won the applause of the fans, and also made Zhang Lei, who was watching the live video broadcast in front of the computer, excited, he paid close attention to several well-known sports forums, and also watched the instant messages sent by domestic fans in the chat room of PTTV live broadcast:

"Wo groove, is this Qujing Chinese?"

"With the same question, the style of the ball looks very elegant and awesome."

"Yes, yes, this heel knock just now is just right, isn't Zhang Chengdong, who logged in La Liga, in Rayo Vallecano? Is this a Korean? ”

"MB: Look at the sticks, when will our players be so awesome."

Zhang Lei laughed and replied with the registered name of "Football Circle": "Qu Jing is an out-and-out Chinese, who operated from Qianbao Company to Real Sociedad in the summer transfer period, and entered the first team with manager Agusli after playing a few B team games, and today is his debut in La Liga. ”

The chat room suddenly flashed with an exclamation:

"Worship the god upstairs, where is Xianxiang, where did you get the news?"

"Upstairs Godman, may I ask which team Qu Jing was from, why have you never heard of such a person?"

"Yes, yes, although labor and management don't pay attention to domestic ball games, but the poor Taoist knows the ball emperor, how can he know nothing about this person?"

"Seek the background of the Sutra."

Zhang Lei smiled and knocked out a message on the screen: "For the topic of Qujing, you can download the 'Football Circle' APP, which will have a detailed introduction and first-hand information, and interested friends can also join the circle of the Real Sociedad team in it and grow up with Qujing in the Real Sociedad team." ”

", the water army upstairs~

"Your Uncle's Advertising Party"

"I feel like I'll never love again, you liar."

Zhang Lei smiled slightly, and saw that several sports forums that were hotly discussing the Qujing had already been posted by the company's employees to explain their doubts, without exception, arousing a curiosity, the company's planning department has uploaded the "Qujing Topic" recorded on Friday to the "Football Circle" APP, and they have also communicated with the major media in advance about tomorrow's press release, and now, in addition to concentrating on watching the Qujing game, is waiting for the reaction and data of domestic fans tomorrow.

Real Sociedad gradually took the initiative on the field, with "Martinez - Qujing - Canales - Vela" as the core of the central axis began to operate benignly, the wide coverage of the curved and central pass control made the team continue to advance to the Athletic Bilbao half of the field while maintaining the formation, except for a few mistakes in the quick kick of Sanz and Aguirreche, Real Sociedad maintained a very high pass success rate, especially the continuous passing of Qujing on the left and middle with Canales and Pardo is very pleasing to the eye, Let the fans on the pitch and watching the live broadcast frequently exclaim.

In the 32nd minute, Qu Jing picked up the pass to Canales when receiving the pass from Sans, Canales kept the ball under the left foot and knocked the left gap to the left, Pardo plugged in at high speed, easily broke through Demarcos's defensive area, cut inside and saw that Vela was marked more tightly, an inverted triangle passed and handed over to the plugged Canales, the whole coordination was smooth and free, and the defenders of Athletic Bilbao completely penetrated, but unfortunately Canales' shot was blocked by the defenders, Canales looked up and sighed, Then he let out a long breath, and several failed shots made him look very frustrated.

Seeing that the team was relatively passive on the field, head coach Valverde kept gesturing on the sidelines, and the Athletic Bilbao players quickly played two very threatening counter-attacks:

In the 34th minute, taking advantage of the defensive gap between Martinez and De La Bella, Bennet passed a precise through ball to Sabien, who suddenly crossed Raul Garcia after attracting the defense of Sans, Martinez and De La Bella, but unfortunately Raul Garcia failed Sabien's big gift, and the unmarked shot hit the plane directly.

On 36 minutes, Bennet, who had good technique, chose to force a breakthrough against Sans, who tripped Bennet after being shaken to the ground and gave Athletic Bilbao a well-placed free-kick on the left.
