Football: Starting from the Ronaldinho template

Chapter 150 Bayern Munich's complete collapse! Advancing to the Europa League final! Facing Borussia Dortmund!

On May 14, 2015, Qin Ming and his teammates arrived at Hamburg Airport, ready to board a plane to Florence.

They will be playing the second leg of the Europa League semi-final there.

Before boarding, Qin Ming checked his phone. "The Bayern Munich vs. Barcelona match is tonight. I wonder if they can turn things around at home."

"It's hard."

De Bruyne analyzed from a rational perspective, "Barcelona, ​​leading by three goals, will definitely play a defensive counter-attacking style, and all three players, including Messi, have strong ball control abilities, so Bayern's counter-attacking efficiency is something Bayern cannot withstand."

"Besides, Bayern just played against us for 90 minutes, and their form wasn't fully recovered to begin with. The situation is probably even worse now."

Qin Ming nodded upon hearing this.

He also didn't think Bayern would be able to turn things around at home, so he put away his phone and went into business class.

night.

When they arrived in Florence, the Champions League semi-finals had already begun.

Just as De Bruyne predicted.

Barcelona started with a defensive counter-attacking style, taking advantage of Bayern's lack of options and poor form.

Suarez and Messi each scored a goal.

Lewandowski's consolation goal couldn't change Bayern's Champions League exit.

After the match, it is said that Guardiola and Rummenigge had a big argument and parted ways on bad terms.

German players, including Schweinsteiger, expressed their lack of understanding of the tactics in interviews and also discussed the departure of team doctor Müller-Wohlfahrt.

The once invincible Bayern Munich seems to have fallen apart because of these three defeats.

Upon seeing this, Qin Ming couldn't help but remark, "Bayern Munich isn't a good fit for Guardiola; he needs a team to start over."

"Qin, stop thinking about those useless things and come watch the Florence video."

De Bruyne waved.

Fiorentina have been performing well in Serie A recently, with a 2-1 victory over Cesena and a 3-2 win against Empoli, achieving two consecutive victories.

"Their opponents were too weak."

Qin Ming shook his head. It wasn't that he looked down on Fiorentina, but rather that he had great confidence in Wolfsburg.

Having overcome the most difficult hurdle, they have completed their transformation.

Florence couldn't stop them.

The next day, in this historically rich and legendary city, the second leg of the Europa League semi-final kicked off.

Wolfsburg's form is absolutely phenomenal!

"Qin Ming made a series of breakthroughs on the wing and received the ball near the byline!"

"Pass back in an inverted triangle shape!"

"De Bruyne made a run from deep and was unmarked, easily unleashing a powerful shot that found the back of the net!"

Wolfsburg took the lead in the 23rd minute!

"The aggregate score has reached 4-1, Wolfsburg has the advantage!"

Zhan Jun was more excited than usual.

He watched the game five days ago and even posted a Weibo post about it.

I'm not a Wolfsburg fan, but Qin Ming's performance was absolutely phenomenal. It's a blessing for Chinese fans to have a player like him!

He thought that since He Wei could commentate on the Bundesliga, he would soon be able to commentate on the Europa League final as well.

I'll need to write the draft in advance.

Otherwise, it would be a shame if a Chinese player performed so well and didn't leave behind a memorable commentary segment for fans.

That would definitely be a pity.

The game continued, and Montella remained calm, having come to terms with the situation.

Fiorentina's current strength is at least two levels below Wolfsburg's.

Sure enough, the score was changed again in the 70th minute of the match.

Qin Ming curled a shot from the left side of the penalty area, finding the top ten corner, leaving Neto helpless in front of the goal.

0-2!

After scoring the goal, Qin Ming ran in front of the camera and made the number 15 gesture.

15 goals in a single Europa League season!
He's already a shoo-in for the Europa League Golden Boot, but he's still 3 goals short of Falcao's record of 18.

In the following matches, the Wolfsburg players all worked hard to achieve this record. Dost made crazy runs to create space for Qin Ming, and Rodriguez frequently overlapped to receive the ball.

And De Bruyne.

His deadly through balls became Fiorentina's nightmare.

Snap! A surgical pass tore through Fiorentina's defense and found Rodriguez precisely.

R. Ronaldo passed the ball across the field without stopping it.

"Qin Ming! He dribbles past Savic with a single step and chips the ball over the onrushing Neto!"

"The goal went in!"

"A brace! His 16th goal in the Europa League, is he in contention for a hat-trick?"

Unfortunately, seeing no hope of a comeback, Fiorentina began to target Qin Ming relentlessly.

Wolfsburg has a crucial match three days later, the 33rd round of the Bundesliga against Dortmund, a game they must win.

Therefore, Qin Ming was substituted off the field in the 65th minute of the match.

Dieter Hecking signaled to his players to defend and minimize their energy expenditure in order to cope with Dortmund regaining their form.

"The match is over! Wolfsburg, playing away, defeated Fiorentina 3-1, advancing to the Europa League final with a 6-2 aggregate score!"

"And their opponent will be the defending champions, Sevilla!"

"The Spanish team defeated Dnipro 4-1 on aggregate yesterday, with Colombian striker Bacca scoring two goals and providing one assist. He is currently fourth in the Europa League top scorers list!"

"Let's meet at the National Stadium in Warsaw, Poland on May 28th to witness who will win this season's Europa League title!"

Zhan Jun's heart had already drifted away.

Frankie Stadium.

Qin Ming and his teammates thanked the Wolfsburg fans who had traveled from afar, and he even took off his jersey and threw it to Bernhard in the stands.

This kid passed the trial at Wolfsburg's youth academy last month.

Hmm. I don't know how someone from Hoffenheim ended up in Wolfsburg's youth academy.
"Qin! I already know, there are no dragons in the world!"

Burn Harder waved his jersey, his small face showing dissatisfaction.

"It's alright! No dragon, no dragon, I'll bring you the championship!"

Qin Ming laughed.

"Okay! When you win the championship trophy, I can borrow it to take a look!"

Burnhardt instantly forgot about the dragon.

"Qin, you get along really well with kids. Ivan's son keeps saying he wants to be your teammate in ten years."

Olić was a little envious of Qin Ming, who didn't know how to get along with children.

"Because I'm a child too!"

Qin Ming poked the slightly immature face.

"Haha! We almost forgot you're only 17. Of course kids can play together!"

Persic is at it again with his sharp tongue.

Back in Wolfsburg, the group had no time to have fun.

The second day was for stretching and relaxation, the third day for resuming training, and the fourth day for the competition.

Volkswagen Arena.

Crowds of people.

"The last four rounds of the Bundesliga will all have the same match time."

"Could one reason be to prevent match-fixing?"

"After all, similar situations have occurred in leagues around the world before, and there are already comprehensive plans in place to prevent communication issues, team playing time, and delays caused by unforeseen circumstances."

"Alright, the match has started, let's get back to the field!"

The camera pans to the coaching bench.

Klopp's expression was somewhat somber, and he didn't seem to be in a good mental state.

In April, Borussia Dortmund announced that they would terminate his contract at the end of the season, and former Mainz coach Turche would take over.

Dortmund's performance this season has been terrible. They dropped into the relegation zone in the first half of the season, and they still had a chance in the Champions League. But they were recently eliminated by Juventus and are currently seventh in the league. Even if they win both of these matches, they still won't be able to qualify for European competition.

Klopp initiated the termination of the contract, ending it before 2018.

Even though he had made preparations, he still felt sad when the time of parting approached.

After all, he has been coaching Borussia Dortmund for seven years, leading the team to two Bundesliga titles, one German Cup title, and two German Super Cup titles.

According to an analysis by the German media outlet Bild, Manchester City may sack Pellegrini this summer, and Klopp has a chance to take over as manager of the Citizens!

"However, the British media holds a different view. They believe Liverpool is more likely because Manchester City has previously flirted with Guardiola, and Liverpool's Rodgers has had a poor record, so Liverpool's management may want to rebuild the team!"

"Hey! Wolfsburg intercepted the ball in their own half, they're about to launch a quick counter-attack!"

He Wei then changed the subject.

On the pitch, Dortmund's corner kick was delivered to the near post, but Benaglio punched it away with both fists.

The two points were right in front of Qin Ming.

He looked up at Durm, Dortmund's right-back, a perennial bench player.

I doubt he'll be as difficult to deal with as Piszczek.

Therefore, Qin Ming did not choose flashy dribbling techniques, but instead opted for the simplest and most explosive drives.

Deng Deng Deng!
Qin Ming's burst of speed in an instant left Durm completely unable to react.

The two were quickly separated by distance.

"Hummels is chasing frantically, he's a bit out of reach, it's a one-on-one situation!"

"Qin Ming shoots!"

"The football bounced off Langerak's foot and went into the goal!"

"1-0! Wolfsburg opened the scoring in the 21st minute, seizing the opportunity on the counter-attack!"

Volkswagen Arena.

"Vamos!" Qin Ming ran towards the corner flag and slid down on his knees, carving two tracks in the grass.

Today's Dortmund team felt like they had lost their fighting spirit.

Take the counterattack just now, for example. Apart from Hummels chasing back, everyone else was just strolling around.

But you can understand it if you think about it.

Even if we win the game, we won't be able to enter the European competition zone anyway, so we might as well just tank.

Moreover, many Dortmund players have a very poor relationship with Klopp.

On the bench, Reus sighed silently. He loved Dortmund deeply; otherwise, he would have left for Bayern long ago.

But seeing his teammates perform like this, he couldn't help but doubt his own philosophy.

Will Dortmund change after changing coaches, or will they be even worse than Klopp?

His mind is a complete mess right now.

When Klopp saw his team concede a goal, he simply adjusted his baseball cap and didn't make any significant reaction.

Even Dortmund fans felt the same way.

Rather than beating Wolfsburg to secure three insignificant points, they would much rather see Bayern Munich lose the title.

After all, it doesn't matter if I'm upset, as long as you're even more upset.

Under these circumstances, Wolfsburg gradually gained control of the game and launched wave after wave of offensives.

The 73th minute of the game.

Persic broke through on the wing and cut inside, his left-footed shot causing Neto to fumble.

Dost, standing at the door, gladly accepted the generous gift.

2-0! ! !

However, not long after that goal, Qin Ming was brought down on the left side of the penalty area. He saw the panic on Durm's face, which revealed his pearly white teeth.

Bang! The football flew over the wall and headed straight for the near corner, leaving Neto no time to make a save.

The score was rewritten again.

"Wow! Qin Ming's finesse shot has reached a very high level. He can decide whether to shoot into the left or right corner based on the goalkeeper's position!"

"Moreover, both the trajectory and speed have improved significantly compared to before!"

"He really doesn't seem to have any limits!"

Volkswagen Arena.

"VFL!!!" Wolfsburg fans cheered tirelessly, some even starting to celebrate prematurely.

I want to write a book about how I lost 3-0!
"After defeating Dortmund, only Cologne remains!"

"The Bundesliga title is beckoning to us!"

"Wolfsburg marches to victory!"

"."

Time slipped away quietly amidst the cheers of the Wolfsburg fans.

Beep-beep-beep!
The game is over!
Sizzle! The Wolfsburg players huddled together, arms around each other's shoulders.

"To recreate the glory of the 2008-09 season!"

"Bundesliga champions!"

Feeling the warmth on his shoulder and the enthusiastic atmosphere around him, Qin Ming was filled with anticipation for the match seven days from now.

"Thorn, how's Bayern doing? Did they lose to Freiburg?"

Perisic suddenly asked.

"Unfortunately, they beat Freiburg 3-1, with Lewandowski scoring twice."

Thorn-Lockhoff shrugged helplessly, "Qin, you probably have no chance of winning the Bundesliga Golden Boot this season."

"It's ok."

Qin Ming smiled.

He knew long ago that he couldn't compete with Lewandowski, after all, Bayern had a deeper bench, and his goal tally was limited because his teammates were frequently rotated.

Of course, the bottom line is that he's not strong enough; if he had a level far exceeding his current skill.

Then it can be broken by force.

"Then let's get ready to win the championship in Cologne on the Rhine!"

Dieter Blackgold looked at the Wolfsburg players with a smile.

After the match, someone dug up an interview from April in which Robben told the media: "I will miss him. Although it is a pity that he left, we will not hold back. We will make him end the season empty-handed."

The reporter then relayed this to Klopp.

"Perhaps we won't be the ones who end up empty-handed this season."

"Everyone has seen Wolfsburg's performance; they may be the ones who truly deserve the championship, while we still have a German Cup final to play."

"Maybe we'll surprise Bayern at the end of the season, just like Wolfsburg did?"

Klopp gave a half-smile.

He could tell that Bayern Munich, having lost in the Champions League and the league, was already at their limit.

Dortmund isn't much better off.

So, with both teams in poor form, it's really hard to say who will win.

If only I could annoy Bayern Munich one last time before leaving the Bundesliga.

Hmm. That feeling must be wonderful.

Klopp decided to give the players one last pep talk.

The days ahead of the final Bundesliga match became increasingly difficult.

Qin Ming wished he could speed up the passage of time.

But clearly he couldn't do it. On May 21, he drove to Hanover Airport 96 to pick up his parents who had come from afar.

"Mom and Dad, you must be tired from flying all the way here. Let me take you to the hotel first."

Qin Ming took the luggage and put it in the trunk. "The game is in three days. I'll have the staff take you to the stadium. The tickets and everything else are ready. Just enjoy yourself!"

"You can't let your guard down! Be careful not to ruin everything at the last minute!"

Qin Zhihong was even more nervous than Qin Ming.

"Dad, don't worry. At such a critical moment, who dares to relax? Everyone's on edge."

Qin Ming comforted him.
