Football: Starting from the Ronaldinho template

Chapter 185 Cazorla's skillful breakthrough, Qin Ming's silky smooth shot! A classic feint pass!
After the game restarted, both teams maintained their tactics.

Leicester City focused on counter-attacking, while Arsenal played a slow, possession-based style of play, with neither side easily increasing the pace.

Time flies in positional warfare.

"Qin Ming is under pressure from Mahrez when he gets the ball, and Kanté is also assisting in the defense from the side!"

"A powerful touch and a direct burst of speed!"

"This is quite different from his style, but the effect is surprisingly good!"

"What a pity! De Laete arrived in time and cleared the ball out of bounds. He was just a step away from breaking through Leicester City's flank and threatening their goal!"

On the court, Qin Ming sat on the ground adjusting his shin guards, feeling that sometimes things shouldn't be complicated.

For example now.

Kante, Mahrez, and De la Ete are all slower than him.

If we continue to rely on technological breakthroughs at a slow pace, we will probably have been surrounded and robbed of our resources long ago.

"We can't let him keep driving like that. Our defensive focus is already shifting, and the other side is under a lot of pressure."

Kante sees further than his teammates.

Arsenal had used a similar tactic before, having Qin Ming draw the opponent's defensive formation and create space for Sanchez to break through.

Therefore, when Qin Ming got the ball again, Leicester City immediately increased their intensity.

Bang! Qin Ming felt an impact from behind and knew it must be De Laet. He also saw Kant next to him.

Did Mahrez also drop back to participate in the defense?
"Francis!"

Qin Ming knew that breaking through would be very difficult.

The key is to avoid conceding a goal in this situation, otherwise Leicester City will launch a direct counter-attack.

After he passed the ball to Kirkland, he was just about to make a diagonal run into the flank and combine with Kirkland.

Kanté followed him closely.

"Are they targeting me?"

Qin Ming didn't hesitate and decisively pulled to the side, drawing Kant back to the sideline.

Kirkland then passed the ball across to Flamini.

This veteran, who is over 30, is Arsenal's richest player, and the company he founded is worth nearly £20 billion.

GF Biochemicals
This is the world's first company capable of large-scale production of levulinic acid, a fat substitute.

Currently, it has its own factory in Italy and employs over 400 people from various countries.

Keep in mind that Arsenal's current market value is only £10 billion.

Playing football isn't about money, it's about physical exercise. Flamini saw an opening on the right and immediately passed the ball to Sanchez, who was there to receive it.

Chilean player has been in good form lately. Facing Schlupp's simple changes in rhythm, he broke free with two consecutive sudden stops and starts.

When he was searching for Giroud in the passage, Morgan intercepted him halfway.

Leicester City's defense around the penalty area was excellent. Drinkwater headed the ball behind him, and England winger Albrighton made a powerful run.

A thrilling scene unfolded on the sidelines of the King Power Stadium.

Two figures sped away at an extremely fast speed.

But Bellerin was faster, catching up with Albrighton and seizing the opportunity to steal the ball.

"Beautiful! The Spaniard, who came through Arsenal's youth academy, has been performing better and better in the last two seasons!"

"The gunmen's counterattack has begun!"

"Transfer via Flamini and find Cazorla ahead!"

Where is Qin?

Commentator Paul Dutton has developed a habit of targeting Qin Ming on offense.

Qin Ming has already rushed into the penalty area.

He knew that Kanté wouldn't let his guard down, so he simply took Kanté away to make room for Cazorla.

"They're coming!" Wenger stood with his arms crossed in the command area, his gaze filled with anticipation as he looked into the distance.

Even though he gave Qin Ming a core position, a gunman is never a one-man show.

team!

Everyone can take on their responsibilities at crucial moments.

Cazorla understood Qin Ming's meaning, dribbled the ball to the left flank, and faked a shot at Drinkwater.

"Watch out!" Leicester City captain Morgan shouted a warning.

Just as Drinkwater was about to block, Cazorla quietly pushed the ball past him, smoothly completing a fake shot and then a real dribble.

"Well done, Third Brother!" Qin Ming thought to himself.

He silently took two steps back, and sure enough, Kanté didn't follow.

French marinated eggs are now in a state of forced defensive measures.

Qin Ming glanced at Bai Sha, one of the Black and White Duo, giving him the illusion that he was about to push towards the bottom line.

Followed up!
"Third brother!" With a sharp shout, he suddenly changed direction and moved sideways.

Cazorla delivered the pass the very next second.

The Leicester City players inside the penalty area were greatly alarmed.

The screams and roars mingled together, causing them to rush forward in a flurry of activity.

Schmeichel, however, remained calm.

Qin Ming ignored the noise around him and had planned everything before even receiving the ball.

*Thwack!* Guide the ball towards the center, then forcefully chip the ball with your right foot!

The shot, executed with fluid grace, curved into a beautiful low arc.

With his attention fully focused, Schmeichel knew the quality of the chip shot the moment he dived to the side.

He couldn't catch it.

As expected, the friction between the fingertips and the football did not change its trajectory.

1-2! ! !

"The goal went in!"

"Arsenal's beautiful combination play on the left flank, with Cazorla drawing multiple players away, assisted Qin Ming's chip shot into the net!"

"reverse!"

"In the 27th minute, Arsenal turned the game around and took the lead!"

"It's truly a feast for the eyes!"

In the broadcast room, Zhan Jun shouted excitedly. Having watched Qin Ming solo his way through so many challenges, he suddenly felt a little unaccustomed to seeing the other members of the Gunners occasionally burst into action.

But a team that relies on only one person will definitely not go far.

However, there seem to be exceptions. In the 2006-07 season, Kaká carried that aging team to win the Champions League title.

But now it's almost impossible to do that.

"Arsenal have broken through Leicester City's midfield encirclement."

Zhang Lu analyzed the game situation, saying, "They only have one Kanté, but they have multiple players who can break through, such as Qin Ming and Cazorla, and Sanchez on the right, which directly creates a multi-pronged attack."

On the pitch, Qin Ming also felt that Leicester City was a bit different from what he remembered.

weak.

How did Blue Fox, with such strength, create such a miracle?

That season, the big teams were all pretty bad, or did Leicester City complete their transformation in the middle of the season?
I think both of these are likely reasons.

Therefore, it shouldn't be too difficult for them to take three points away from the King Power Stadium.

Qin Ming stopped thinking about these things and started celebrating with his teammates. If he hadn't just started learning to dance, he would have loved to perform a song.

"Qin! How was my breakthrough just now? Did it match your flair?"

Cazorla raised an eyebrow, looking quite proud.

"You're just a tiny bit worse than me!" Qin Ming pinched his index finger and thumb together.

"Haha! Qin always says that, Santi, don't believe him, you still have a lot of room for improvement!"

Giroud joked.

After the comeback, the Arsenal players were relaxed, chatting and laughing as they walked back to their own half.

Kant and the others looked at those red and white figures, feeling somewhat dejected, with Kant feeling the most distressed.

He felt that although his coverage area was wide, he couldn't create several clones.

Despite Arsenal's multi-pronged attack, it's still necessary to build a multi-layered, dense defensive line to disrupt Arsenal's rhythm before making interceptions.

"Just follow the coach's pre-match plan!"

"Arsenal are top of the table, but we just scored against them, which shows they're not invincible!"

"come on! Come on!"

Leicester City captain Morgan roared.

Teams capable of creating miracles, regardless of their strength, must have high mental attributes.

Vardy stared at the Arsenal goal in the distance. Kante, meanwhile, discussed with Drinkwater in broken English how to defend.

The other team members are also reflecting on their own problems.

"We'll retreat a bit later, then launch a counterattack!"

After celebrating with Pat Rice, Wenger went to the sidelines to direct the team.

He felt that with the temperature at 35 degrees Celsius today, and having just finished playing in the EFL Cup a few days ago, it would be best to choose a style of play that conserves energy.

Passing and possession are fine, as are counter-attacks.

But considering Leicester City's strong performance in open play, he still felt the latter was more suitable.

the other side.

Ranieri, like a seasoned captain, soothed the bewildered hearts of his crew with his calm and composed expression.

"Okazaki, you need to run back and forth, connecting the midfield and the attack, and..."

Shinji Okazaki played a significant role in Ranieri's tactical system.

Although his job is to run.

But it is the lubricant that makes Vardy and Mahrez play more smoothly.

The game soon resumed.

Vardy wandered around Mertesacker, occasionally throwing in a few trashy remarks.

In lower leagues, he often plays 90 minutes and can exchange hundreds of words with opposing defenders.

Mertesacker glared at Vardy with annoyance.

This guy not only curses, but he also speaks German, and it's a terrible mix of languages.

Vardy smiled and didn't seem to care, instead continuing his provocations.

Born into humble circumstances, he had long ago integrated pragmatism with psychological warfare.

"Arsenal's counter-attacks weren't going well! Their midfield lacked intensity, and Leicester City managed to penetrate them!"

"Shinji Okazaki is very active!"

"In the first six rounds of the Premier League, his tireless running revitalized Leicester City's attack, and he also scored his first Premier League goal against West Ham!"

"Drinkwater makes a long diagonal pass!"

The Algerian Messi, Mahrez, lifted his left foot and perfectly controlled the ball.

In Sky Sports' ranking of the best ball control in the Premier League.

Qin Ming ranked first with 34% of the vote, while Mahrez ranked fourth.

"WOW!" Leicester City fans at the King Power Stadium stood up.

Mahrez's ability to cut inside is somewhat inferior to that of Robben in his prime.

But there's a sense that you know it but can't prevent it.

Mahrez has scored three goals in the Premier League this season, all with left-footed curling shots.

He is also ranked second on the top scorers list.

With a high frequency of touches, he deceived Koscielny into making a tackle, then touched the ball again and cut towards the edge of the penalty area.

Or aim for the top left corner and curl a shot.

If a shot is made, no one in the Premier League except De Gea can save it.

But Kirkland made a hidden collision from behind him.

It's similar to the incident where Kanter collided with Qin Ming.

Bang! The football was sent flying into the stands, drawing curses from Leicester City fans.

"Sir, isn't this against the rules?"

Upon his arrival, Mahrez spread his hands and questioned him.

"Reasonable physical contact," the referee said, shaking his head.

Qin Ming watched from the sidelines, secretly amused. Sure enough, players from other leagues would have a period of adjustment when they came to the Premier League.

So does he.

However, his ability to adjust is strong enough; he strengthened the Community Shield Cup champion by giving him a 1% template integration bonus.

Don't underestimate this improvement.

Once the template integration rate exceeds 90%, even the slightest improvement becomes significant.

After all, this represents the template of peak Ronaldinho, when his body and technique were at their best, a limit that even Ronaldinho himself may not have reached.

For various reasons, he adapted to the Premier League very quickly.

Moreover, Arsenal's tactical adjustments have allowed him to thrive.

"Damn it!" Mahrez angrily shook his hand and cursed in Algerian.

Before we knew it, 40 minutes had passed in the game.

The high temperatures caused both teams' players to expend a lot of energy, and the referee did not give them time to replenish their water.

Qin Ming seized the opportunity, taking advantage of his opponent's momentary lapse in concentration.

In matches that often last over ninety minutes, no one can maintain focus the whole time, but when both sides expose their weaknesses, timely intervention is crucial.

Because, in a sense, offense can mask the problem.

"Grab him!"

When Drinkwater regained possession and tried to find Mahrez again...

Veteran Flamini gave the order.

Sanchez's powerful leg swept aside Drinkwater, allowing Flamini to steal the ball.

The two worked together very well.

"Don't retreat, press and seize the opportunity on the spot!"

In his haste, Kant even spoke in French.

He knew that if they moved their formation back, exposing space in the midfield...

Arsenal would quickly move and cut, disrupting their defense while also creating opportunities for through balls.

Other Leicester City players understood this as well.

Flamini, who played for Arsenal for 11 years, developed a decent defensive skill and some respectable footwork under the tutelage of Vieira and Gilberto in his early years.

Thud! The football flew from his feet, spinning as it fell toward the left flank.

Leicester City's midfield defense was breached.

Qin Ming glanced at the ball before receiving it; De Laet didn't try to intercept it.

It seems like he's waiting for his teammates to help defend.

Then let's use the same old trick and deliberately create an opening.

Qin Ming is increasingly fond of entrapment tactics.

as predicted.

When he stopped the ball a little too far, the Belgian full-back, like a fisherman who instinctively pulled back his rod when he saw the float move.

De Laetit's response was a spike, leaving him only with his back turned.

"Wow! Look at that beautiful breakthrough, without any unnecessary movements!"

"He tore apart Leicester City's flanks!"

"Does Arsenal have a chance to score before halftime and extend their lead?"

King Power Stadium.

Thirty thousand fans held their breath involuntarily.

The figure they were looking at, speeding away, arrived in the restricted area in the blink of an eye.

None of them dared to come up and press Qin Ming. Seeing that Hu Te was also on high alert, lowering his center of gravity and blocking the inside line, he sighed helplessly to himself.

So he began to slow down.

Hu Te felt his nerves tighten, and even though sweat was streaming into his eyes and the stinging sensation made him afraid to blink, he looked directly into Qin Ming's eyes.

"I'm waiting for my teammates, what are you waiting for?"

Qin Ming caught a glimpse of Sanchez in place out of the corner of his eye, and turned his head to look at the empty space on his left.

Hute also subconsciously turned his head.

No Look Pass!

The next second, he heard a crisp sound of the ball being struck, and then he suddenly realized what had happened.

But by then the ball had already been passed to the edge of the penalty area.

During the counterattack, Sanchez kept moving forward and towards the center, all for this moment.

Bang! With ample time to adjust, he completed a high-quality shot!

Schmeichel once again witnessed his goal being breached.

1-3! ! !
