Football: Starting from the Ronaldinho template

Chapter 169: A Explosive Goal in His Premier League Debut! Arsenal Defeat the West Ham! Player of the Match!
Emirates Stadium.

Forty cameras moved with the football, mirroring the gaze of fifty thousand fans.

When Qin Ming received the ball again, he looked up and glanced around, thinking that it was indeed quiet, not comparable to Westfalenstadion or Allianz Arena.

That is indeed the case, because most of the stands at the Emirates Stadium have been converted into commercial areas.

Otherwise, how could Arsenal make so much money every year?

But in the north grandstand, the formation of over two thousand people, not a single person sat down from the moment the match began.

They shouted and shook their heads, using waves of people and shouts to cheer on the players.

The 19th minute of the game.

After getting past Kouyaté, Cazorla passed the ball low to Qin Ming.

All of a sudden.

Tomkinson and Oxford rushed in, clearly indicating that they had planned a strategy before the game: to surround and press Qin Ming when he received the ball.

Qin Ming had already developed the habit of observing before receiving the ball while at Wolfsburg.

*Thwack!* He pulled the ball away from Tomkinson with his right foot, then swerved it past Oxford.

Draw an L-shaped trajectory in the confined space.

Now the Chief's Library is no longer a source of obsession, and people's attention has been diverted.

"WOW!!!" The die-hard fans in the North Stand let out a deep roar, as if preparing for an explosion.

Surrounded by the alternative melody, Qin Ming forcefully squeezed through the two players and delivered a cross from the left side of the penalty area.

Ramsey followed up and unleashed a powerful shot!

But former Real Betis goalkeeper Adrian made a crucial save.

It's not over yet!

Ogbonna cleared the ball despite Sanchez's interference, and Arsenal gave West Ham United no chance to breathe, continuing to increase the pace under Qin Ming's signal.

The goal is to use a relentless, wave-like attack to expose the opponent's weaknesses.

Doesn't this create a gap in the defense line?

After clearing the ball, Ogbonna positioned himself further forward, creating space for Cazorla to pass the ball, who delivered a precise diagonal pass into the penalty area with his right foot.

Walcott charged out like a tiger.

He ran 11 seconds in the 5 meters in elementary school, made his official competition debut at the age of 16, and participated in the World Cup at the age of 17.

His resume is as impressive as Irving's.

As a typical player who relies on one skill, he has a very fast burst of speed, which allowed him to quickly leave Winston Reed behind.

He adjusted his position a few steps and fired a shot into the far corner, breaching the West Ham United goal.

1-0!

"Yeah!!!" Arsenal fans in the stadium cheered, their first goal of the new season coming in the very first game, a goal worth celebrating.

"Wow, Theo! Scoring a goal right after returning from injury, looks like he's in great form!"

After Walcott finished celebrating, Ramsey said with a smile.

As a gifted speedster, Walcott was not immune to injuries.

从2010-11赛季到2014-15赛季，他的赛后平均得分分别为6.9、6.9、7.2、7.1和6.6。

Almost all the data points reached their peak in the middle and then began to decline sharply.

The cause was a cruciate ligament strain and a groin strain in 2014.

These are all classic injuries.

This made him a player with poor physical strength, average dribbling skills, and a weak ability to seize and create opportunities.

But as long as he isn't heavily targeted, he can still play a significant role.

And now Arsenal has that condition.

Qin Ming and Sanchez on the left and right sides can both attract a lot of defensive players.

After Walcott high-fived his teammates, he glanced at the coaching bench and saw Wenger with a satisfied smile.

But he had mixed feelings.

Because he only had one year left on his contract, he had previously made a deal with Wenger: a weekly wage of £14 and a starting center forward position.

Wenger did not agree.

Qin Ming's salary, which broke the salary cap, has already put a lot of financial pressure on Arsenal, leaving them with little room to allocate as much money to Walcott.

Moreover.

Wenger prefers Giroud as the starting center forward because the Frenchman is good at playing as a utility player; he doesn't have any major weaknesses and his abilities are well-rounded.

Most importantly, Giroud has a very clear understanding of his own position.

This way, Qin Ming can play comfortably, achieving the suggestion given by Dieter Blackkins: to let Qin Ming play freely.

However, Wenger did not make things difficult for Walcott, saying that he could transfer in the winter transfer window or leave as a free agent when his contract expires.

Walcott looked at Qin Ming, who was being subtly surrounded by his teammates, with a hint of annoyance.

Who in this world doesn't want to be the protagonist?

"West Ham United plays a high-ball style, which is very effective against technically skilled teams, and that's exactly the kind of team Arsenal is!"

"Cresswell makes a cross from the wing, plays a one-two with Noble, and then lofts a cross into the box at a 45-degree angle!"

"Arsenal's aerial dominance relies entirely on Mertesacker and Koscielny!"

"But the defense on the perimeter wasn't good enough. Argentine striker Salak followed up with a shot that hit Mertesacker and deflected into Arsenal's goal!"

In the 33rd minute, West Ham United equalized the score.

"The Hammer Gang's Robin Hood-like tactics are truly something else," Qin Ming thought to himself.

However, despite scoring and conceding goals, he felt that the formation needed to be changed, and the two wingers needed to move inwards, otherwise the two balls would all be left to Coquelin, which would give the opponent an opportunity.

Sure enough, Wenger pointed to the two flanks, indicating that the two players should not stay too far to the side.

That would facilitate the subsequent counterattack, but it would also greatly increase the defensive pressure and lead to other problems.

"Ok!"

Ramsey and the other man nodded repeatedly.

Arsenal were not greatly affected after conceding the goal, and continued to make quick passes and moves in the midfield and attacking third, looking for opportunities to pass the ball forward and create scoring chances.

After several consecutive cross-field passes, West Ham United could no longer sit still.

Immediately afterward, Qin Ming made a rapid forward movement, which in their training had only one meaning: to increase speed!
*Thud!* Cazorla sends a through ball down the sideline.

Qin Ming let the ball pass between his legs, turned and accelerated to make a breakthrough.

"Don't let him break through the rib area!"

Winston Reed roared at his teammates.

However, Kouyate, who failed to keep up in the first step, was immediately left behind by Qin Ming's acceleration.

"Qin!" Walcott moved to the middle lane to prepare for support.

But Qin Ming didn't even glance at him, instead focusing intently on looking ahead.

Winster Wood!

The dense defense offered no shooting opportunities; they had to break into the penalty area.

With that thought in mind, he accelerated again, keeping his right foot on the side of the ball, waiting for Winster Wood to steal it.

coming!

Winster Wood's well-timed steal attempt missed everything.

In his wide-eyed stare.

Qin Ming flicked the ball from his right foot to his left, the movement smooth and effortless, like Dove chocolate.

Fried meatballs!

It's not over yet!

After getting past Winster Wood, Qin Ming dribbled to the right, preventing Tomkinson from making a steal.

Bang! A low shot pierced Adrian's defenses, causing the electronic scoreboard at the top of the Emirates Stadium to change.

2-1! ! !

With exceptional individual skills, one can break through multiple lines of defense and deliver the fatal blow.

This caused the Chief's Library to instantly become bustling with activity.

Can we blame them for being so quiet before? It's because the team wasn't playing excitingly; they were just passing the ball around all the time. If they had played better earlier, they wouldn't have been shouting themselves hoarse.

"Louder!" After scoring, Qin Ming ran to the North Stand, facing the crazy Arsenal fans, and put his right hand to his ear as if listening.

"King!!!" The red and white waves gave him an even stronger response.

handy!

Qin Ming felt incredibly satisfied listening to this, and wished he could score another goal.

library?
Because wherever he is, this saying doesn't apply.

At home, you let your own fans cheer; away, you let the opposing fans curse. Either way, you have to get excited.

"Beautiful Qin!" Cazorla looks a bit older than his age, and with his hairstyle, he looks more than twenty years older than Qin Ming.

"Well done, Third Brother!"

Qin Ming chuckled.

Santi Cazorla's full name is Santi Cazorla, and Santi sounds like "third brother".

"Something feels off," Cazorla thought, unable to figure it out either, so she simply stopped thinking about it and high-fived Qin Ming in celebration.

Please give us a few more assists like that.

It's so easy.

Walcott, standing next to him, was still processing his emotions; his mind was filled with the scene from earlier.

This is exactly how he dreams of playing football.

But he knew he could never play like that in his life, because all his talent points were allocated to speed.

Now, due to injuries, even his speed has slowed down considerably.

Mertesacker and Koscielny were whispering to each other in the backfield.

"Have you noticed that scoring goals has become much easier for us since Qin came?"

"Nonsense! What does ninety million pounds mean? If it could only spin in circles like a compass, would it be worth that much?"

Do you think he can become the team leader in the future?

"Forget it, let's not let him take the position, let Mikel do it instead."

"We feel that the pressure has been reduced a lot after the intensity of the attack increased."

"really."

As the two were talking, Monreal joined in, saying, "I used to have to cover for Mesut all the time. Although I'm still doing the same job now, it's obviously much easier."

The first half ended quickly, with Arsenal leading by one goal as they returned to the locker room.

Wenger emphasized defensive issues, particularly the protection of the second ball.
On the offensive end, Sanchez should pay attention to his teammates. Although the Chilean has shown visible improvement recently, it's not something that can be changed overnight. He still needs to cultivate the habit of teamwork in matches.

Sanchez did not ask why Qin Ming was able to do it himself.

He's not that stupid.

Playing football is like doing business; when the benefits outweigh the risks, then you're on the right track.

Qin Ming was able to break through with his individual abilities and tear apart the opponent's dense defenses.

He even scored a goal while driving alone through the defense.

This is where the benefits outweigh the risks, something Sanchez couldn't achieve, or rather, the benefits he brought weren't significant enough.

After the start of the second half.

West Ham United continued their high-pressing, direct attacking style, while Arsenal deliberately slowed down their pace.

Mertesacker passed the ball to Ramsey, who then passed it to Koscielny. With just a few simple passes, the ball was delivered.

"The biggest difference between Arsenal and Wolfsburg is that every player in Arsenal has the ability to pass the ball out, and their ball distribution from the back is more stable, while Wolfsburg mainly relies on De Bruyne."

Qin Ming thought to himself.

This would be more beneficial for him.

Because consistent possession of the ball can lead to more opportunities.

This can also increase the time he has the ball.

A classic core-driven style of play.

He felt that Wenger should have considered this aspect before signing him.

The 79th minute of the game.

Arsenal have made two substitutions: Ramsey was replaced by Arteta, and Walcott was replaced by Giroud.

"Pass the ball!" Qin Ming dropped back to midfield to call for the ball.

But after receiving the ball, he didn't go for it himself. Instead, he integrated into his teammates' passing and control, and used the No Look Pass technique to confuse West Ham United's players.

The football flowed smoothly from the feet of the red and white players, a display of fluidity that drew admiration.

at last!

Qin Ming noticed that Sanchez was being closely marked, but Bellerin was in a good position.

The long diagonal pass technique he learned from De Bruyne was used at this moment.

Thud! The football spun across most of the field and was caught by Bellerin, who was sprinting at full speed.

The Spaniards made a series of stops and dribbles as they charged into the penalty area.

With a good ball-handling environment, he delivered a high-quality cross.

Giroud scored with an effortless header.

3-1! ! !

"The goal went in!"

"Arsenal made a series of passes on the left flank, Qin Ming suddenly made a long pass, Bellerin crossed from the byline to assist Giroud!"

"What a goal that flowed like mercury!"

"It seems that Arsenal fans' concerns about the team's excellent preseason performance followed by a slow start after the league officially begins are no longer valid!"

"Although some issues are noticeable, they've generally gelled quite well!"

"Qin Ming has also enriched Arsenal's arsenal, especially in terms of increasing the tempo. He seems to have a natural talent for this. As long as the ball is at his feet, the pace of the game will speed up!"

Zhan Jun provides passionate commentary in the broadcast room.

"Hehe! This should be the goal that sealed the victory. I wonder if Qin Ming can score again in the following game?"

Zhang Lu is in good spirits today, after all, it's not a European match and he has to stay up until the early hours of the morning.

Unfortunately, Arsenal failed to create any chances until the end of the match.

Qin Ming did manage a few long-range shots, but the Hammers' goalkeeper was very steady. In addition, the Premier League is more intense and has a higher pace than the Bundesliga, so his stamina quickly declined.

Beep-beep-beep!
The referee blew his whistle, and the match ended.

Arsenal beat West Ham United 3-1, with goals from Walcott, Qin Ming and Giroud helping the Gunners secure a winning start.

Who received the Best Player award after the game?

The fans didn't leave immediately; instead, they waited until Qin Ming stood in front of the interview board, surrounded by a large circle of cameras.

"Thank you." Qin Ming accepted the Player of the Game trophy from the staff.

Hmm. It's pretty much the same as what I used to see on TV.

The trophy features the Premier League lion logo on top, the EA logo in the middle, and the words "player of the match" at the bottom.

The texture and appearance are much better than the Community Shield medal.

"Qin! Congratulations on winning the Player of the Match award. What would you like to say about your Premier League debut?"

The reporter, wearing black headphones, handed over the microphone.

"Although I only scored one goal, I am still very satisfied. It was my first Premier League game, so I was inevitably a little nervous and made some mistakes. I am grateful to my teammates for making up for those mistakes."

"I hope to play better and better in the future, score goals and help the team win, and make a run for the championship that we haven't touched in 13 years."

Qin Ming did not say anything about just doing his best out of modesty.

He was a champion before he came to Arsenal, and he has to be a champion after he comes to Arsenal, otherwise what's the point of him coming here?

Do you think you can compete for the Premier League Golden Boot?

The reporter asked again.

"You know!"

Qin Ming imitated Mourinho from a few days ago, giving an answer that was left unsaid but obvious.
