Football: Starting from the Ronaldinho template

Chapter 106 Bayern, are you going to ruin the Bundesliga? Qin Ming: I desperately want to improve! (Bonus chapter for first-time subscribers)

late at night.

With the conclusion of the 20th round of the Bundesliga, two matches were the most anticipated.

The scores were Wolfsburg 4-2 Leverkusen and Bayern Munich 8-0 Hamburg.

The former is a back-and-forth battle of offense, while the latter is a complete massacre.

Hamburg fans no longer want to stay in the Bundesliga. Rather than being thrashed by Bayern every season, they'd rather be relegated to the 2. Bundesliga and enjoy the games.

It also allows you to sell points to make money and give back to the fans. Isn't that a good thing?
The Bundesliga top scorers list remained unchanged thanks to goals from Robben and Lewandowski.

Sports media outlets are also giving extensive coverage to these two matches, devoting considerable space to describing Qin Ming.

What does it mean for someone under 18 to score a hat trick?
This is meant to set a high bar for our peers and give the world a huge shock.

Bild: The youngest hat-trick scorer in the top five leagues—I think we need to change our assessment of him from three months ago, at least raise it by two levels! If he can continue to develop, he can definitely become a historic player!
The Guardian: Messi and Ronaldo have dominated the Ballon d'Or for seven years, and no one can threaten their position, but now I think everything will soon change!
Bayern Sports Daily: According to reliable sources, Bayern Munich II coach Erik ten Hag banned Qin Ming from using team facilities, including the canteen, gym, and training ground. It can be said that he was the mastermind behind Qin Ming's departure from Bayern!

The Sun: Is it a loss of humanity or a moral collapse? Ten Hag has been suspended from his duties by Bayern Munich's management, and an investigation is underway into whether he violated any regulations in the Qin Ming transfer saga!
Kicker: More noteworthy than the three goals on the surface are the statistics! Qin Ming successfully dribbled 12 times in a single match and created 9 threatening attacks, far exceeding other players in the same position in the Bundesliga!

Every media outlet related to football is reporting on Qin Ming.

It's fair to say he's become incredibly famous and is now attracting attention from fans all over the world.
-
I think I like this kid's singing voice more than his football talent.
-
[I feel like you can't sing with that kind of feeling without having a few girlfriends.]
-
It's too early to talk about the Ballon d'Or. These two legendary stars have faced numerous challenges over the years, but they've always remained at the top.
-
Indeed, and he currently has no honors whatsoever, just a bronze medal in the Asian Cup. He's not qualified to talk about changing the landscape of football.
-
If I remember correctly, Wolfsburg's Europa League opponent is Tottenham, and the match is coming up soon, right?
-
[The game after that.]
-
[Pochettino just won the Premier League Manager of the Month award, and Tottenham's striker Harry Kane is currently the hottest young star in the Premier League.]
-
Just a few days ago, he scored the winning goal against Arsenal, helping Tottenham secure victory in the North London derby.
-
Some say his shooting is like Alan Shearer's, his positioning like Sheringham's, and that he'll definitely lead Tottenham to a championship in the future.
-
So, is this a clash between two geniuses from two different leagues?
-
This is interesting!
-
Looking at the schedules of both teams, Tottenham Hotspur will face Arsenal, Liverpool, and West Ham United – all strong teams – while Wolfsburg will play Hertha Berlin and Werder Bremen, giving them a significant advantage in terms of schedule.

Meanwhile, at the Kearney training ground in London.

Wenger rested his chin on his hand, staring at the screen, reviewing the defeat.

Tottenham's aggressive pressing style is very similar to that of Dortmund in the past, and it is difficult for Premier League teams' midfielders to control it. Of course, the solution is also very simple.

How to do it?
Players need to have the ability to receive the ball, dribble, and pass it in very small spaces.

Arsenal's Sanchez is doing well, but he's injured and out of action.

Suddenly, a pop-up window appeared in the lower right corner of the computer, announcing Wolfsburg's victory over the pharmaceutical company.

Wenger subconsciously clicked in and watched the highlights.

"Ugh!"

A heavy sigh echoed in the room. Wenger couldn't help but wonder if the outcome of the match would change if he replaced the left winger with Qin Ming.

Probably.

Tottenham put a lot of effort into pressing in the attacking third, but there was still a risk of being overwhelmed by Arsenal's counter-attacks.

But this is on the premise that the midfield has strong ball control, dribbling, and counter-attacking abilities.

Thinking of this, he called Perrin, and the two talked for a long time.

Late at night, Wenger looked at the loan that had been paid off and Özil's very poor form, and decided to make a desperate push during the summer transfer window.

The following day, Wolfsburg experienced a warming spring.

Qin Ming rested for a while as usual, then went to see his second agent.

"Only when I see you in real life can I realize how young you are."

Jonathan Barnett laughed.

He made a special trip from England overnight to show his sincerity.

There was no way around it; after Qin Ming scored a hat trick and became a rising star, he was in high demand.

Those agents would absolutely turn into sharks that smell blood.

He had to act first, otherwise he would definitely regret it for the rest of his life if he missed the opportunity.

This was what Jonathan Barnett's sixth sense told him.

"any drinks?"

Qin Ming called over a waiter, "Please give me a cup of coffee, no sugar and no milk."

"me too."

Jonathan Barnett laughed.

The content of their conversation was not complicated, mainly revolving around career development and business plans.

“We at Stellar Group currently have about 500 clients, have accumulated a wealth of operational experience, and have partnerships with major clubs.”

“I think if I could become your agent, you would only need to focus on how to play football, and I could solve the rest of the problems for you and give you a very satisfactory result.”

Jonathan Barnett doesn't play games either.

Having been in business for so many years, he knows that sincerity is a sure-fire way to win, especially with young players.

And to be honest, he wouldn't dare to cheat Qin Ming.

It's important to know that the Premier League now places great importance on the Chinese market, and all the clubs want to attract more fans. In addition, Qin Ming has Volkswagen's legal department backing him.

I'll give you my answer by the end of the month.

Qin Ming did not make a decision on the spot; he still wanted to meet the others.

After all, choosing an agent is very important.

If you don't choose the right path, your career could be affected.

He must be extremely cautious.

“Okay.” Jonathan Barnett appeared nonchalant, but in reality, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

He decided to reduce the commission rate for brokers and provide more comprehensive services.

Let's roll around with our peers.

After talking with Jonathan Barnett, Qin Ming went to meet with Puma's European head.

That's right.

As his reputation grew, many sports brands, such as Adidas, Nike, and Puma, came knocking on his door.

Puma and Adidas, being German brands, were the first to contact him.

However, Qin Ming still hasn't made a decision. He plans to wait until he signs a contract with an agent before having the agent negotiate with the brand he's endorsing.

Otherwise, it would waste a lot of his time.

Professional athletes train every day, so where would they find the energy to do all this?

Oh, and there's another little incident in his life right now.

Ever since I added Bright on WhatsApp, he sends me messages almost every day.

Sometimes it's photos of my travels, sometimes it's photos of meeting a designer, and sometimes it's even photos of the delicious food I've eaten.

In contrast, Qin Ming's life is rather dull, but he does post some creative videos.

And Bright always provides ample emotional value.

The seven-day break passed quickly.

Volkswagen Arena.

The 21st round of the Bundesliga, Wolfsburg vs. Hertha Berlin, has begun.

"After Wolfsburg's resounding victory over Leverkusen, the entire team is brimming with confidence!"

"Look how proactive they are playing!"

"And the ample rest time makes them even more energetic!"

Wolfsburg controlled the pace of the game and advanced methodically.

Nowadays, midfielders can be divided into several types: rhythm control type, penetration type, and explosive attack type.

However, under the influence of modern football, players' abilities have become more balanced.

In other words: it has no distinguishing features.

De Bruyne belongs to the puncture and penetration type.

His playmaking tends to create opportunities by varying the passing patterns.

In other words, it involves exploiting the gaps and openings in the half-spaces, and based on teammates' runs and the opponent's formation, delivering penetrating through balls to tear apart the opponent's defense near the edge of the penalty area.

And when someone with a keen sense of space has accurate passing ability.

Then he has the opportunity to become a historic attacking midfielder. This happened in the 24th minute of the match.

De Bruyne, while dribbling, unexpectedly passed the ball.

It drew an exaggerated arc on the green field, bypassing Hertha Berlin's interception line.

Qin Ming didn't need to adjust after receiving the ball.

Facing Pekarik, who was rushing out from the side, the Slovakian player who had previously played for Wolfsburg.

He also drew an arc.

Cow's tail!
Pecaric's attempt to intercept the ball failed, and when he turned around, Qin Ming had already dribbled away.

They did not move forward.

He observed that Hertha Berlin's formation had shifted, resulting in a large gap on the right flank.

This is the effect of how he learned from De Bruyne to broaden his horizons.

*Thud!* The ball was switched wide to the right side. Perisic inwardly praised Qin Ming, feeling that he was playing better and better.

"The Croatian has penetrated the penalty area!"

"Find Olic at the near post, Olic pounces and scores!"

"The veteran's experience is indeed invaluable!"

"Moreover, the two are teammates on the national team, so their chemistry goes without saying!"

The cheers at the Volkswagen Stadium were deafening.

They felt that Wolfsburg had changed since the first half of the season, as if it had undergone a transformation.

When everyone is improving, the team will naturally improve as well.

They like this Wolfsburg.

"Qin Ming had the ball on the wing again, and after a one-two with Rodriguez, Genki Haraguchi rushed in!"

"Japan's key player, number 8!"

"The two didn't have a chance to face each other during the Asian Cup, but now..."

He Wei's eyes widened before he finished speaking.

Qin Ming took a small half-step to change his rhythm, and just as Haraguchi Genki stretched out his leg to steal the ball, he easily flicked the ball past him through the groin.

Seeing this scene, Chinese fans had four words in mind: "doing whatever one pleases".

Qin Ming became increasingly relaxed during the match.

Perhaps that's why he was able to unleash his imagination and creativity to the fullest extent.

On the court, Qin Ming broke free but was suddenly grabbed by his jersey. He managed to poke the ball into Ding Ding's penis before falling to the ground.

The referee signaled that the attack was in the favor and the game continued.

De Bruyne advanced a few meters and then passed the ball directly to Dost, who made a quick forward run.

The latter swept past the defender.

Perisic received the ball and unleashed a powerful shot, sending it into the top left corner of the goal.

2-0!

Genki Haraguchi looked at the yellow card helplessly, thinking to himself, "I've already done all this, how come I still can't stop Qin Ming?"
He was depressed.

He suddenly thought of a question: if the Japanese team were to face the Chinese team in the quarterfinals of the Asian Cup, could they win?

I think it should be possible.

Because the Chinese team's defense is not as strong as the UAE's, and their possession-based style of play is a counter to the Chinese team.

With this in mind, Genki Haraguchi hoped to face the Chinese team in the World Cup qualifiers so he could get his revenge.

"."

"Wolfsburg played more cautiously in the second half because they have a Europa League match in six days against Tottenham, a strong team in the Premier League, and they need to conserve their energy!"

"Qin Ming was substituted by Caligiuri, and De Bruyne was also substituted by Arnold. Dieter Hecking is really audacious. Isn't he afraid of being overturned after having two key players off the field?"

"It seems I was overthinking it. Wolfsburg's defense is very solid. Unlike Leverkusen, they can attack when they're in the attacking phase and defend when they're in the defensive phase!"

"."

"Full time! Wolfsburg 2-0 Hertha Berlin, securing 3 points at home!"

"Let's take a look at another match!"

"Wow! Bayern Munich 6-0 Paderborn, Lewandowski scored twice, Robben had two assists and two goals, what is Bayern trying to do? Are they trying to ruin the Bundesliga?"

"Winning the Bundesliga Golden Boot this season is just too difficult!"

Even He Wei couldn't help but complain.

Qin Ming finally had a chance to compete for the Golden Boot, but Bayern Munich just kept thrashing weak teams.

The key is that Wolfsburg can't imitate it yet.

After all, they don't have that much bench depth, and an unscientific rotation could lead to a collapse at any time.

Qin Ming felt a little numb after seeing it.

If Lewandowski and Robben continue to dominate, the Golden Boot award this season will be at least 30.

It’s a lot of pressure!
"Kevin! I haven't scored a goal in this game yet, and I feel like they're pulling further and further behind!"

Qin Ming held De Bruyne and wailed.

However, he was just complaining; Wolfsburg didn't buy any good players in the winter transfer window, and their bench depth was really limited.

He'll definitely get injured if he doesn't rotate players and plays every game.

Points are limited, so use them sparingly; it's best to maintain good health.

"Phew! We can't let ourselves be affected, we can't let ourselves be affected!"

Qin Ming dismissed those thoughts. Everyone's situation is different, and he still had to prioritize the overall situation.

Compared to the Golden Boot award, the champion is more important.

"Look, he's in a hurry."

Olić patted Qin Ming on the shoulder, adopting the air of someone who's been there, and said, "Let me tell you, people who are patient often get the results they want in the end."

“Ivica, I really want to improve.”

Qin Ming said casually.

Upon hearing this, Olić was speechless.

He's thirty-six and not in a hurry, why should Qin Ming, who's only seventeen, be in such a rush?
Today's young people are indeed different from those of their generation.

"Kevin, we're going to England at the end of the month. I've made plans with them to come watch our game against Tottenham. Pass the ball to me a lot then."

Qin Ming thought that since the league was too difficult, could he try the Europa League?

Anyway, it's not the Champions League.

Without those two goal-scoring machines, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

"Shouldn't you be the one sending it to me?"

De Bruyne countered with a question.

"Oh dear, next time we play Chelsea, I won't even shoot in front of the goal, I'll just pass it to you and let you score!"

Qin Ming made a joke.

De Bruyne: “.”

You can't get over this hurdle, can you?

But the feeling of scoring against Kuvatul's goal... well, just thinking about it makes me feel really good.

There's a sense of satisfaction, like getting revenge.
