In the past two days, Xu Qi has also received considerable attention in Donetsk City.

Originally, he didn't pay much attention to joining the Miners team. After all, it is really difficult for a player from China to excited this group of fans with high vision.

However, after seeing Xu Qi's performance after coming off the bench in the first leg with Tottenham, many fans of the Donetsk Miner team changed their views on Xu Qi a little.

They believe that Xu Qi will win the team's main position on the right in a very short time.

Especially Xu Qi's flirtatious pass from the outside and tore the ball open the Tottenham's defense line with one kick. It was too wonderful.

Such a wonderful pass was indeed impressive and also added a lot of points to Xu Qi.

Some Miners fans have even fallen in love with him because of his artistic style of playing football.

Although it is not a direct assist or goal, his pass is indeed the most critical first pass, so it has been touted by many fans.

In fact, the Donetsk Miners only regarded Xu Qi's performance as a surprise, and the voices that really made Xu Qi's wild voices come from the country.

After all, domestic fans hope that Xu Qi will perform well abroad and don’t come back, and want him to keep going in Europe!

On the Internet, a large group of fans have begun to nickname Xu Qi.

Donetsk fans generally give nicknames more bluntly, and they only give clichéd nicknames such as "Chinese Dragon" and "Football Bruce Lee".

But after this trend spread to China, domestic fans liked to use some strange nicknames, such as some European players' nicknames called wizards, and they called Xu Qi's "Tianshi" and "Taoist" with more Chinese characteristics, as well as "Jade Flying Foot" and "Li Xunhuan on the Field", which made Xu Qi feel a little amused and cry after seeing it.

Regarding the second leg of the match with Tottenham, Xu Qi is not sure whether he can enter the starting lineup, but in his opinion, his training has improved a lot during this period, and coupled with his performance in the game in the middle of last week, it is still very likely that he will win a chance to start.

Judging from the team grouping and confrontation training before the game, Xu Qi has been arranged to be the main player.

Obviously, Lucescu is now asking Xu Qiduo to cooperate with his main teammates and get along with each other.

This is also preparing for Xu Qi to become the starter next.

Lucescu also saw Xu Qi's training on external instep technology during this period. At this time, he had to admit that Xu Qi did have extraordinary talent for this technology.

On the training ground, even though the second round battle with Tottenham is about to begin, Xu Qi is still practicing his own extra training.

Xu Qi likes to stand at the top of the right side of the penalty area arc on the court, constantly shooting the arc with his outer instep. He feels that the arc of the ball kicked out of the outer instep is not as obvious as that on the inside of the foot, but the ball speed is faster.

"It's more sudden and more concealed, but the accuracy still needs to be improved." Lucescu nodded on the sidelines, and gave some comments on Xu Qi's shot from the outside instep.

Xu Qi turned his head and smiled, and walked to the sidelines.

"You can continue to practice. In terms of these personal skills, the players still need to explore them by themselves. I have nothing to teach you." Mircilucescu said with a smile.

He likes Xu Qi's fighting spirit in training very much. This kind of player who likes to practice for himself can easily win the favor of coaches.

"Mr. Mircha, with my current level of shooting outside instep, if I encounter the opportunity to shoot outside instep in the game, can I choose to use the shooting outside instep?" Xu Qi asked.

Lucescu squinted his eyes and smiled, then said, "Of course it depends on yourself. If you think you can shoot, then you can shoot, but please don't go too alone. In terms of specificity, I will not impose too much restrictions on you."

Indeed, some players, even if the coach restricts him, will still force the shot when he shouldn't shoot. Some players, even if the coach encourages him to try more shots, they always lack confidence and dare not take responsibility.

When the situation comes, what choices should be made, the key is to rely on the players, not the coach.

The coach is just a general policymaker, and the ball still depends on the players' feet.

After Lucescu finished speaking, he gave Xu Qi some time to digest and turned around and left the training ground.

Xu Qi nodded and began to analyze some specific situations again. He really wanted to show his new abilities at home in the next game.

He felt that his external instep strength and ankle control were pretty good recently.

Recently, he has been taking care of his ankles. If he wants to use the external instep, the strength and flexibility of the ankles are crucial. As his ankles are now more flexible and the muscles on his calf are more outstanding, his interest in shooting outside instep has also become very high.

If you want to use your outside instep outside the penalty area, you can only use your strength to shoot a powerful shot. Therefore, if Xu Qi wants to score with a curved ball, he must try to get closer to the goal as close as possible.

After this period of training, Xu Qi really wanted to enjoy the fun of shooting from the outside instep during the game.

He wanted to try whether his shot from outside his feet could cause trouble to the Premier League level defense line.

After thinking for a while, Xu Qi raised his right foot and pulled the ball under his feet towards the goal.

"Bang!"

After the ball drew an arc, it hit the goal post hard.

The first home game after the winter break actually puts a lot of pressure on the team.

This season, the Donetsk Miners under Lucesku's leadership actually didn't play very well.

As the defending champion, the Miners team lost many times in the first half of the league or were forced to draw to opponents who were far inferior to their strength. So far, Dynamo Kiev has been left with a thirteen-point gap in the standings.

As common sense, Dynamo Kiev would not make so many mistakes to get the miners to recover the points.

Although they still rank second in the standings when they were thirteen points behind, if they were not careful, they might be surpassed by Dnipro, who ranked third.

At the same time, in the Champions League venue where many fans are paying more attention, although they were assigned to the group where the strong Barcelona team was located, they did not achieve the goal of qualifying for the second place in the group.

The final third in the ranking group was eliminated, and the UEFA Cup qualification, which was ranked third in the Champions League group stage, was more like the team's life-saving straw now.

Lucescu urgently hopes that the team can eliminate the strong Tottenham Hotspur club and stabilize the morale. Only when the UEFA Cup goes further can the team's pressure be reduced.

Moreover, the pressure on the team's players is not actually because Xu Qi joins, so Lucescu wants to give the team a change choice on the offensive end.

The team's boss Renato Akmetov has spoken out and wants to introduce more powerful players to strengthen the team's strength.

Regarding the voice of the team boss, Lucescu also chose to default. Indeed, he also hoped that he would have more outstanding players under his command to choose from.

But this winter they only introduced Xu Qi, a new player.
Chapter completed!
