Football: Starting from the Ronaldinho template

Chapter 160: Techniques to Conquer Arsenal! Sanchez's Ambition! The Premier League Asia Trophy Begins!
On the court, before the training match began, Qin Ming looked back.

Petr Cech, who just joined the team for €1000 million, is now wearing a tank hat.

At 34, he showed no signs of aging.

They even become more monstrous with age.

This is Qin Ming's personal experience from recent training. No wonder Terry said in an interview that he believes Cech can help Arsenal gain 10-15 more points.

Cech keenly noticed the gaze directed at him, and smiled when he saw it was Qin Ming.

Contrary to his aloof appearance, he is humble and polite, and even a little introverted.

This is related to his childhood experiences.

"If Cech had Kahn's voice, he'd probably be invincible, wouldn't he?"

Qin Ming responded with a smile.

He greatly admires and even reveres the Czech goalkeeper.

Because of Reading's Hunter's flying kick in 2006, Cech suffered a depressed skull fracture, and doctors later removed five bone fragments from his head.

Later, people began to speculate whether Cech would retire.

But he soon disappointed the well-meaning people, returning to the field in just three months.

However, from then on, he always wore a protective helmet when he appeared in competitions.

This was hailed as a sports miracle by the media at the time.

Cech's indomitable spirit pulled him back from a precipitous decline at a turning point in his career.

Clang clang clang, clang clang clang.

Cech tapped each of the left and right goalposts three times with his right index finger.

This is a Czech folk tradition for exorcising evil spirits.

It gradually became his personal habit.

This is a way to pray for good luck and thus receive the favor of the doorposts.

Beep! ! !
Assistant coach Polo Pamolik acted as a temporary referee.

Giroud passed the ball to Ramsey, a midfielder with Arsenal DNA who was deployed as an attacking midfielder in a 4-2-3-1 formation today.

It took him nearly four years to recover after his leg was broken by Shawcross in 2010.

The problem that remains is the lack of combat capability.

"Aron!" Qin Ming glanced at Bellerin, moved sideways, and called out loudly for the ball.

Ramsey's short passing game was quite good, so after passing the ball to Qin Ming, he opened his mouth wide as he was about to make a forward run to receive it.

*Snap!* It was as if Qin Ming had eyes in the back of his head; with a gentle flick of the outside of his foot, he changed the direction of the ball, which just slipped through Bellerin's legs.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Ming smoothly turned around from the other side, bypassing Bellerin to catch up with the football.

"This is King!"

Giroud in front was incredibly excited.

Because the stronger Qin Ming is, the more goals he will score.

Giroud actively moved diagonally to the same side, restraining Koscielny while also preparing to act as a pivot.

After Bellerin was beaten, he put all his effort into chasing back.

He was seen sprinting at nearly 9.65 meters per second.

He was closing the distance rapidly, and it looked like he had a chance to steal the ball.

Snap!
"Joel!"

Qin Ming seemed to have anticipated this, but instead of looking for Giroud, he looked into the distance and curled his left foot into an arc.

As the White Team's overall defensive line shifted, the gap on the right side was naturally exposed.

Campbell, who rose to fame in the Brazil World Cup, is young but has a wealth of experience.

After joining Arsenal in 2011, he was repeatedly loaned out due to work permit issues, and over three years he played for Lorient, Real Betis and Olympiacos.

The Olympiacos coach gave this assessment: High-level players mostly rely on a combination of rhythm changes and foot frequency in their dribbling, and Joel is a prime example of this. What surprised me even more was his high-quality low crosses, which are hard to imagine coming from a 21-year-old player.

Campbell looked up to observe after receiving the ball.

Wow! It's so spacious, you could run a horse there.

"Qin is drawing too much defensive resources on the left flank."

Campbell immediately figured out the answer. He kept moving forward and crossed the ball from the right side of the penalty area.

The football flew toward Giroud at waist height.

Just when Qin Ming thought the ball was going to be lost, the French hunk flicked it with his heel.

Scorpion swishes its tail!

boom!
Unfortunately, the swing was too wide, and the ball flew directly over the crossbar.

"Olivier, you're amazing!"

Qin Ming didn't hold back his praise, giving a thumbs up.

Giroud nodded proudly, "Qin! I'm not bragging, but in the entire Arsenal team, I'm probably the only one who can keep up with your thinking."

"Qin! Your left-footed passing accuracy seems different than before?"

Cazorla, standing not far away, sounded puzzled.

In order to better integrate with the future core, he has been watching a lot of Wolfsburg videos recently and has a certain understanding of Qin Ming's technical characteristics.

But as a typical 55-foot player, he discovered that Qin Ming's left foot had made very obvious progress.

More refined ball control and more precise passing.

"I've been practicing extra lately."

Qin Ming wasn't lying. Despite having Davor Suker's talent, he still changed his training plan, increasing the weight given to his left foot.

"You've improved quite quickly. I remember when I injured my right foot, I had to use my left foot more. Later, I trained actively and gradually improved."

Cazorla remembers it took him several years to master it.

Is this genius?

The Spanish midfielder sighed inwardly.

The training match resumed quickly, and Sanchez got really into it after Team A gained possession of the ball.

However, Wenger noticed that he seemed to be deliberately detached from the overall team.

As a veteran winger with a natural attacking flair, his greatest strength lies in individual dribbling, cutting inside, and long-range shooting.

Bang!
The Chilean, standing at 168cm, was not intimidated by the derby. His muscular physique allowed him to push past his opponent and head towards the center, where he executed two stepovers before unleashing a powerful shot.

Cech, wearing a tank helmet, remained highly focused in front of the goal, diving to his side and deflecting the ball out of bounds with one hand.

"Well done, Peter!"

Qin Ming dislikes dull teams, so when he was in Wolfsburg, he would loudly praise his teammates whenever they made a brilliant move.

After getting up from the grass, Cech smiled and nodded at Qin Ming.

He suddenly realized that leaving Chelsea and joining Arsenal wasn't a bad thing; at least he would be more energetic playing alongside young players.

"Have you noticed that this kid's impact on the team goes beyond just his ability?"

Wenger said in a satisfied tone from the sidelines.

“I’ve discovered that Rice, who speaks with a Cockney accent, always brings energy to the team.”

Pat Rice, who looks like a Northern Irishman, agreed wholeheartedly.

He joined Arsenal in 1964 when he was only 15 years old, and played 528 games as a right-back.

After retiring, he began coaching Arsenal's youth team.

Before Wenger took over, he served as caretaker manager and won all three league games during his tenure.

This is what is known as a 100% win rate coach.

"coming!"

Wenger suddenly narrowed his eyes and stared intently at it.

Inside the penalty area, Cech caught the corner kick delivered by Cazorla, looked up to observe, and then launched a long ball towards the left flank.

Qin Ming quickly observed the situation and positioned himself accordingly.

Bang! Bellerin lunged forward, trying to disrupt Qin Ming's control of the ball.

"Nacho!"

Qin Ming tightened his core and remained as steady as a rock, then used his shoulder to knock the ball towards Monreal.

The latter instinctively made a cross-field pass to reorganize the play.

"The pace is so slow."

Qin Ming frowned slightly upon seeing this.

If it were Wolfsburg, Rodriguez would either make a forward run or send a through ball down the flank.

But this kind of thing can't be solved in a short time.

He continued running, actively seeking opportunities.

at last.

The football spun around and came to Ramsey's feet.

The Welshman, who had the Grim Reaper's List, saw Qin Ming cutting in front of him and reaching for the ball.

“It’s not safe.”

Ramsey discovered that Wilshire was lying in ambush in Qin Ming's blind spot.

However, trusting his teammates and considering that Qin Ming had just arrived, he still passed the ball to him.

moment.

All eyes turned to Arsenal's number 10.

Wilshere was even prepared to steal the ball.

It's worth noting that Robin van Persie has been wearing the number 10 jersey ever since he transferred to Manchester United.

Wenger had approached him, appealing to his emotions and reason, hoping he would relinquish it. Faced with his mentor's request, he could not refuse.

But he also wanted to know if Qin Ming was truly worthy of the jersey.

"Hoo!" Wilshere stared at Qin Ming's feet, ready to intercept the ball the moment he stopped it.

But the next second he knew that this conventional stealing tactic was useless.

*Snap!* Qin Ming's right foot, held horizontally, drew a brilliant rainbow as it passed over Wilshire.

"Perfect touch!"

Qin Ming mentally assessed the situation, but his feet moved quickly, twisting his waist and turning around.

A gasp rippled through the stadium, with Giroud letting out a strange cry.

Qin Ming ignored the noise around him and accelerated his dribble toward the penalty area.

At the same time, he was also observing the positions of his teammates and opponents.

Because Wilshere was positioned too far forward and Kirkland was close to the wing, the two defensive midfielders were too far apart, and no one could cover them in time. So there was no room for hesitation!

Qin Ming's hawk-like eyes locked onto the goal, he raised his left arm behind him and swung his right leg high.

Bang! With a dull thud, the football, like a cannonball, roared towards the right side of the goal.

Arsenal youth academy product, goalkeeper Matt Messi, is feeling immense pressure at this moment.

He instinctively lunged to save the ball, but unlike Cech, he didn't even touch it.

Qin Ming, who had just finished shooting, looked up and saw the football lying in the goal. He couldn't help but clench his fist and wave it a few times.

Although there haven't been any high-quality matches since the end of the Europa League, he has maintained his training and it seems that his level has not declined. On the contrary, his shooting accuracy is even higher than before.

This can be seen not only from his skill proficiency but also from his feel for shooting.

"Well done, Qin!"

Giroud is preparing to take over from Dost and become the first "hanger" on his thigh.

"not bad."

Qin Ming didn't feign modesty.

Then he raised an eyebrow at Ramsey, as if to say: Trust me, you won't go wrong.

Ramsey took a deep breath.

After witnessing Qin Ming's miraculous handling of Wilshire, he couldn't help but have a strong sense of unease.

I can give Qin Ming my absolute trust.

No matter how complex the environment, Qin Ming can always break free when he asks for the ball.

This confidence differs from Bentana's; it stems from his own abilities.

"A remarkable young man has arrived in Kearney!"

On the sidelines, Pat Rice was deeply moved, realizing that such inspired handling was not as simple as it seemed.

The choice of point of contact with the ball, the control of the amount of force, and all sorts of other details.

Do you know why I had to sign him?

Wenger's brown eyes behind his glasses held a hint of reminiscence: "He showed me the shadow of Dennis."

Pat Rice was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then smiled.

indeed.

Qin Ming and Bergkamp have different characteristics, but they both possess a kind of spirituality that leaves a deep impression on people who see them.

On the field, after scoring a goal, the white team faced the red team and began to constantly pass and move around in midfield.

However, Qin Ming keenly noticed that there were no sufficiently threatening vertical passes.

Having partnered with De Bruyne for a season, he's finding it a bit difficult to adjust.

But he also knew that teammates like Ding Ding were rare finds.

Always placing your hopes on others is essentially the behavior of a weak person.

He wanted to take control of the pace.

How to speed it up?

breakthrough!

But it's not just about breaking through; it's about integrating his ball control into Arsenal's passing and possession game to increase the pace.

This was an idea that Wenger had suggested to him.

Qin Ming had thought about it for a long time and felt that it was indeed a good idea.

"Nacho!"

This time, when he asked for the ball, Monreal did not hesitate.

Qin Ming turned his back to Bellerin, passed the ball to Ramsey on the side, and then passed it diagonally after a wall pass.

Looking for Giroud!
The French hunk had watched how Dost played, so he deliberately turned his back to protect the ball and waited for Qin Ming to get into position before passing it back.

"Why do I feel like I can't touch the ball?!"

Bellerin is used to playing in the Premier League.

Every time Qin Ming made a move, he would subconsciously stretch out his leg.

After several such encounters, no matter how fast he was, he would eventually fall behind.

However, Qin Ming discovered that Bellerin wasn't as bad as he thought.

A player who can be a starter in the Premier League cannot be mediocre. Bellerin can design defensive routes to lure himself to the outside.

But what he didn't consider was his own abnormally delicate footwork.

opportunity!

After Qin Ming had ridden two bicycles, he noticed Bellerin turning to his left and used the momentum to push off the ground and break through from the outside.

"Flower-shaped kick!" Bellerin reacted and used his powerful speed to forcefully throw himself out.

But he was met with a sharp crack.

*Thud!* Qin Ming stopped the ball with his left foot, pulled it back, created space, and then crossed it.

The football spun as it flew towards the near post of the penalty area.

Giroud was already prepared there.

His height of 192cm makes him decent at heading, but his footwork is really not impressive, and his ability to withstand physical challenges is also just average.

Most importantly, he doesn't have that almost selfish desire to score goals.

This is deadly for a striker, but only if he's paired with someone.

This type of functional center, when placed in basketball, is similar to players like Artest and Kenyon Martin.

Pair him with a sharp and decisive partner, and he'll find his confidence and focus.

Bang! Giroud unleashed a powerful header, sending the ball hurtling towards the goal and slipping between Matt Messi's hands.

"Yeah!!!" the handsome Frenchman roared, clenching his fist.

Since he arrived at Arsenal with the Ligue 1 Golden Boot, the doubts have never been silenced.

Most of the criticisms focused on his ability to seize opportunities.

But no one noticed that although he was good at bouncing balls, he was actually quite well-rounded in all aspects and also made contributions in defense.

"Well done, Olivier!"

Qin Ming transformed into a self-praise party member.

"Your pass was really good, and it attracted several people." Giroud was a little embarrassed at this point.

After Bellerin was beaten, Mertesacker moved to the wing, creating an opening on the left side of the penalty area.

He ran to his position and the ball was passed to him.

It's so great to work with someone like that.

Giroud finally understood why Dost was able to score so many goals: Qin Ming and De Bruyne absorbed most of the defensive pressure, allowing him to perform at a normal or even extraordinary level within his own capabilities.

In just a few tens of minutes, he scored a goal and made an assist.

This completely changed the way Arsenal players perceived the 100 million man.

Sanchez felt a sense of urgency.

He had always played as a left winger, but Qin Ming's position overlapped with his. Although Wenger hasn't said anything yet, it's obvious to everyone that Wenger will make Qin Ming the core player, and the record-breaking transfer fee is proof of that.

Am I supposed to go to the right wing like Perisic?
Sanchez shook his head vigorously. Having come from that kind of environment in his childhood, he would never give up easily.

But sometimes, the more persistent you are, the less likely you are to get a good result.

His breakthroughs differed from Qin Ming's; they were too focused on individual combat, thus detaching him from the overall team effort.

Similar to Qin Ming, who had just arrived in Wolfsburg, yet different.

However, with the help of Dieter Hecking and De Bruyne, Qin Ming gradually broke his bad habit of not looking up to observe.

Sanchez's problem is more of a personality issue.

The Red Team's offense stalled for a period of time, and the score remained unchanged until the end of the first quarter.

"It'll be soon." Wenger smiled after seeing the result.

Previously, Sanchez had too much say in the attack, while the other Arsenal players had limited ability.

Even if he comes by himself, no one can control him.

But now it's different.

Wenger brought in Qin Ming, who is better than Sanchez in terms of dribbling, passing, and even mental attributes.

Sanchez's ambition will change him and give Arsenal a completely new look.

This is a method that Wenger painstakingly devised after Wolfsburg's match against Tottenham.

The remaining two training sessions were not intense; they were more about getting the players back into game shape.

Qin Ming also got to know his teammates during this process.

A few days flew by.

They boarded a flight to Shenzhen.

Premier League Asia Trophy!
Originally known as the Premier League Asia Challenge Cup, it is an overseas competition organized by the Premier League since 2003. It is held every two years in Asia, and to avoid conflict with the World Cup and the European Championship, the competition is always held in odd-numbered years.

There are a total of four teams participating in this year's event, which is being held in China.

They are Arsenal (top six in the Premier League), Everton (mid-table), Newcastle United (bottom six in the Premier League), and Guangzhou Evergrande (local team in the host region).

It's actually not very prestigious; it's more like an exhibition match.

When the Arsenal players walked out of the airport, they were immediately taken aback by the sight before them: a dense crowd of Arsenal fans dressed in red and white.

They erupted in deafening cheers the moment they saw Qin Ming.

"Qin Ming!"

"We, Arsenal, are invincible!"

"Guns, advance!"

"."

"I am not wrong, right?"

Giroud rubbed his eyes; even when he scored at the Emirates Stadium, he never felt this kind of atmosphere.

Who the hell said China is a football wasteland?!

Sanchez and the others swallowed hard, only now realizing that Qin Ming's influence was far greater than what they had seen.

Qin Ming took off his sunglasses and hat, waved to the fans, and smiled sincerely.

Because he likes his fans.

"There will be a book signing event at the St. Regis Hotel tomorrow. Everyone is welcome to come if they have time."

He also reminded the fans.
