Football: Starting from the Ronaldinho template

Chapter 102 A Second Blossom! Choosing a Professional Agent! (25)

"Qin, you take this penalty kick; after all, you were the one who drew it."

Wolfsburg's first-choice penalty taker was originally Olic, but he is now on the bench.

As for the second penalty taker, De Bruyne?
He knew that Qin Ming had just returned to the Bundesliga and needed to score goals to improve his shooting touch.

So he generously gave it up.

"Then I'll take it."

Qin Ming naturally accepted the offer with a smile.

After he placed the ball on the penalty spot, he slowly took three steps back amidst the anticipation of the crowd, and then quickly stepped forward after the referee blew the whistle.

One, two, three swings of the arm, volley!
During the Asian Cup, Perrin had them practice penalty kicks extra to prevent the game from going to a penalty shootout.

It's just that I didn't have the chance to use it back then, but now I have the opportunity.

Bang! The football blasted to the left like a cannonball, and even though Baumann guessed the right direction, he was powerless to stop it.

The speed and power are too great.

The football grazed his glove and went into the goal, igniting the passion of the fans in the stadium.

Qin Ming lifted his jersey again, revealing the words: I'm back!!!

He scored twice in his first game back, and he felt incredibly cool.

The teammates also gathered around. Although this match seemed ordinary, Wolfsburg had just been held to a draw by Frankfurt a few days ago.

If we don't have another big win, morale will definitely start to decline.

Teams that habitually collapse in the second half of the season often do so because they lose their fighting spirit.

So scoring four goals at home this time directly awakened Wolfsburg's fighting spirit.

"This kid really knows how to surprise people!"

Dieter Hecking celebrated with Thorn Lockhoff with a high five.

Moreover, he felt that Qin Ming seemed more confident now compared to before the Asian Cup.

He seemed confident he could break through any defensive player.

"Boss, I think we need to consider fighting on multiple fronts."

"Torn-Lockhoff said."

Wolfsburg definitely can't hold out with a three-front war; that's a no-brainer.

As for the league, it is definitely the highest priority, because the benefits of breaking Bayern's monopoly are unimaginable.

Next up is the Europa League.

Although it can't compare to the prestige of the Champions League, it is still a major event.

Then it becomes clear which tactic to abandon.

"I know."

Dieter Black Gold lived for so many years and learned a lot about life.

One of them is: you can't have your cake and eat it too.

Sometimes, making decisions early can prevent you from being influenced by them.

On the other side of the field, the Hoffenheim players looked ashen-faced, clearly having been brought to their knees by the kicks.

I originally thought we could steal three points while Wolfsburg was in bad form.

But no one expected Qin Ming to be so fierce after his return, directly breaking down their defensive system and boosting their own offensive system.

De Bruyne and Qin Ming's chemistry hasn't diminished over time.

Instead, the two complemented each other more and more.

At this stage of the competition, unless a miracle occurs, the outcome is already decided.

After making substitutions, Dietrich replaced Qin Ming and Ding Ding, and began to solidify his defense and stall for time.

Beep-beep-beep!
The score remained unchanged until the end, and Wolfsburg won their second match after the winter break with a resounding 4-0 victory over Hoffenheim at home.

Congratulations to Wolfsburg on securing all three points!

"After this match, the Bundesliga standings are as follows: Bayern Munich leads with 49 points, Wolfsburg is second with 47 points, followed by Borussia Mönchengladbach, Bayer Leverkusen, and Schalke 04!"

"The Bundesliga season is now past the halfway mark, with 14 rounds remaining!"

"As for who will ultimately win the championship, I think there is still a lot of suspense, but it should be decided between Bayern and Wolfsburg!"

"Qin Ming, who won third place in the Asian Cup, we hope he can continue his efforts and strive to win the second Chinese title in one of the top five European leagues!"

He Wei sincerely offered his blessings.

As for who the first person is, it is of course Dong Fangzhuo from Manchester United.

He not only won the Premier League title with the team in the 2006-07 season, but also won the Champions League title in the 2007-08 season.

However, fans who know him well know that he has hardly ever played.

Therefore, in a sense, there is still no Chinese player who has won a title in one of the top five European leagues as a key player.

at the post-match press conference.

Dieter Hecking brought Qin Ming along to the event in an effort to stabilize public opinion, given the numerous transfer rumors surrounding Qin Ming during the winter transfer window.

"Today's match proves that what happened before was just an accident, and that we have the strength to compete for the league title."

"Who performed the best today? To be honest, it's really hard to choose, but since Qin is by my side, my answer is definitely him."

Dieter Black Gold also cracked a joke.

After the reporters finished laughing, they turned their microphones toward Qin Ming and asked the questions they just wanted answered.

"Qin, congratulations on scoring twice in your first game back in the Bundesliga. Is there anything you'd like to say to the fans?"

"I am very grateful for everyone's support and I am happy to be liked by everyone. However, I hope this is just the beginning. I want to have a perfect season."

What constitutes a perfect season? Is it the Bundesliga title, the league's Golden Boot, or the Europa League title?

"Children make choices."

What does this sentence mean?

"You can go back and look it up; I think you'll like it."

Qin Ming kept the answer a secret and did not give it.

If he still wanted the championship before, he has been working hard ever since he found himself rising from seventh in the top scorers list to third, surpassing players like Müller and Aubameyang.

With only Robben and Lewandowski ahead of him, he began to consider competing for the Bundesliga Golden Boot.

Dieter Black Gold understood Qin Ming's meaning, and his gaze toward him became increasingly satisfied.

Ambitious and hardworking players are often very popular.

"That's the goal that's so hard to achieve!" Dieter Blackkin couldn't help but look forward to what the end of the season would look like.

After returning home with De Bruyne, Qin Ming received a phone call from an unknown number.

“Hello, I’m Volker-Strutt, an excellent professional agent. I’ve contacted you before.” “If it’s alright, I’d like to schedule a time for us to talk. I think you really need a scientific development plan right now!”

"."

Half an hour later, Qin Ming hung up the phone, reflecting on what Strutt had said.

He is Germany's most famous agent, representing players such as Reus, Götze, and Toni Kroos.

Qin Ming searched for relevant information online and found that there had been recent revelations.

Bild: Götze's agent, Strutt, criticizes Guardiola, claiming that Guardiola's boring tactics are the cause of Götze's slump!
Qin Ming glanced at the detailed report.

"Guardiola is ruining Germany's talent; he can sense that the coach doesn't really trust Mario!"

"Also, Mario can only play some easy games now, and I'm surprised that no one at Bayern realizes this and defends Mario!"

"."

As for the exact reasons behind this, Qin Ming, as an outsider, had no idea, but he felt that Strutt's actions were ill-considered.

Guardiola is now the head coach of Bayern Munich.

But you questioned them in front of the media, aren't you just forcing them to put a bad word to your head?
Such issues are best addressed through one-on-one communication between the player and the coach.

If that doesn't work, we'll think of other solutions.

Therefore, he had already mentally ruled out Strutt.

Kicker: Wolfsburg's true attacking core? 17-year-old Qin Ming's performance on the offensive end was perfect, helping the team to a 4-0 victory over Hoffenheim.

SPORT1: Qin Ming is the youngest player to score 10 goals in Bundesliga history! According to betting odds, he has the odds of winning the Bundesliga Golden Boot this season at 1.43.

Sports Bild: After Bayern Munich's 2-0 victory over Stuttgart, Kahn told reporters that Bayern Munich in Germany does not lack talent, but rather that talent needs Bayern, and that Qin Ming will eventually return to his family.

The comments below are also varied.
-
I previously thought Messi was already very strong for joining Barcelona's first team and scoring goals at 17, but I didn't expect Qin Ming to be competing for the Bundesliga Golden Boot at 17.
-
[But you should know that when Messi was 19, Inter Milan was willing to pay his €1.5 million release clause to bring him from Camp Nou to the San Siro.]
-
[Guess how much Qin Ming will be worth in two years? I think if he continues like this, without injuries or further growth, even if his value drops, he'll still be able to compete with Bale, right?]
-
I get the feeling that Bayern's management has a strange sense of superiority, as if everyone else is begging to play for them. I don't know where Kahn got that confidence.
-
This guy is a big mouth; he often says nonsensical things.
-
[Hopefully Wolfsburg can snatch the Bundesliga title from Bayern Munich!]
-
[If I win the championship, my next car will be a Volkswagen, to help salesman Xiao Qin boost his sales targets!]
-
Qin Ming must be the best car salesman in China. I saw that Volkswagen's domestic sales increased by 15.4% last quarter, which is almost 3 more cars.
-
[Could Xiao Qin introduce me to some cars next time I go for a test drive?]
-
You're dreaming!

Qin Ming looked
As Qin Ming's performance improved, Bayern's management faced increasing difficulties, and Ten Hag was also frequently criticized.

After all, you might overlook a pearl that shimmers with a faint light for some reason.

But how can you not see 24k pure gold that can dazzle people?
Unless you're blind.

Now Ten Hah is labeled as blind.

Even though he led the team to achieve good results, he could still feel the strange looks he received.

Therefore, he decided to leave at the end of this season and return to the Netherlands to find a head coaching job. He will then use the Eredivisie as a springboard to eventually coach a top club in one of the top five European leagues.

He wants to prove himself!

Even if we fail to recognize Qin Ming's talent, it's just an occasional mistake. He will discover more talented players.

However, under intense public pressure, he developed a pathological mentality.

Yes. It means cultivating a genius stronger than Qin Ming, preferably one whose specialty is breakthroughs.

That way, people won't pay attention to him losing Qin Ming anymore.

Qin Ming had no idea what Ten Hach was thinking. After taking some time to talk to Strutt, he subtly indicated that he could not cooperate with him.

He then received calls from Casey Wasserman, Jonathan Barnett, Raiola, and Mendes.

That's right, top-ranked agents in the football world have all come knocking on their door.

After all, anyone can see his potential. At the age of 17, he was already among the top three scorers in the Bundesliga and led the national team to a third-place finish in the Asian Cup.

It's important to know that Chinese football is notoriously weak in the world.

Who wouldn't want to sign a player like that? He might even have a chance to win the Ballon d'Or in just a few years.

That represents the pinnacle of football.

The potential profits involved are outrageously high, without even needing to think about it.

Of course, the most crucial factor is the Chinese market behind Qin Ming. Volkswagen has already proven with its impressive fourth-quarter report that Qin Ming is the best spokesperson.

No matter what kind of product it is, as long as it meets the requirements, it can leverage Qin Ming's influence.

Countless brands had previously approached Qin Ming, wanting him to be their Asian brand ambassador, but Qin Ming postponed all of them because of the Asian Cup.

The immediate priority is to select a suitable agent and develop a promising career development plan.

Otherwise, what if I end up endorsing some junk product?

The consequences could be disastrous.

"Kathy Wasserman's base is in the Premier League. WMG Group is currently the world's largest sports agency. They represent many big-name Premier League players, such as Gerrard, Carragher, Michael Owen, and Keane, who have all been their clients. In addition to football, they also provide agency services for athletes in basketball, golf, cycling, and other fields."

“The Stellar Group, founded by British agent Jonathan Barnett, is now one of the biggest agencies in football. He was instrumental in Gareth Bale’s £8600 million transfer to Real Madrid, and he represents many other well-known players, such as Joe Hart, Luke Shaw, and Adam Lallana.”

"Raiola has influenced the careers of many top football players, and of course, the fate of several top clubs."

"Mendes has players like Cristiano Ronaldo, James Rodriguez, Di Maria, Diego Costa, and Falcao under his management, and even Mourinho is with him."

After reviewing the information on the individuals, Qin Ming stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.

Which one is more suitable?
Qin Ming thinks he might go to the Premier League or La Liga in the future, after all, the salaries are high and there are the world's strongest clubs there.

Furthermore, if we consider the longer term, he aims to compete for the Golden Globe Award in the future.
Agents often have limited resources.

For example, at the Ballon d'Or ceremony that just concluded in January, Cristiano Ronaldo won his third Ballon d'Or with 37.66% of the vote, beating Messi (15.76%) and Neuer (15.72%).

Messi is just one shy of winning his fourth Ballon d'Or.

His agent, Mendes, played a significant role in his success. It's worth noting that the Ballon d'Or now considers many more factors, including commercial value.

Cristiano Ronaldo's commercial value is beyond doubt.

"After considering all the options, Barnett seems more suitable. He dropped Bale because he wanted to win the Ballon d'Or, but unfortunately..."

Qin Ming knew that Bell would not get what he wanted.

The fact that Real Madrid's flounder, Barcelona's groin, and Bayern's adductor muscles have become an almost unbreakable curse has become a curse.

An agent can't be finalized in a day or two, but the 20th round of the Bundesliga kicks off in three days.

Qin Ming and his teammates embarked on their journey to Bayer Leverkusen.

Despite its relatively low profile, the city is home to Bayer, an internationally renowned chemical giant.

The chemical industry has extremely high barriers to entry, but the profits are also incredibly high.

Otherwise, Bayer would not have been able to rank 240th in the Fortune Global 500 last year.

Qin Ming leaned against the car window and looked out, seeing a city that was different from what he had expected.

It lacks the heaviness of industrial cities, but instead boasts beautiful mountains and rivers, carrying the poetry and tranquility of the countryside.

It's quite suitable for retirement.

He silently made his assessment in his mind, and when the club bus drove near the BayArena, he saw groups of Leverkusen fans again.

They weren't as excited as Schalke 04 fans; their mood was more relaxed, like they were on a family holiday outing.
