Football: Starting from the Ronaldinho template

Chapter 187 Kante's distinctive French accent! He ran into Guardiola's daughter! A victory in the second round of the Champions League!
"The game is over! The game is over!"

Arsenal defeated Leicester City 4-1 at the King Power Stadium, extending their winning streak in the Premier League to seven games!

"This is also their first seven-game winning streak in 13 years!"

"The last time was back in the 2002-03 season, also known as the undefeated season!"

"By the way, Arsenal also achieved their longest winning streak in history with 14 consecutive wins in the 2001-02 season!"

"I wonder if they can match this record now!"

Wenger thought it was unacceptable.

After the September tournament ended and October began, their schedule became even more packed.

They will not only face French Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain, but also Premier League powerhouses such as Manchester United, Chelsea, and Everton.

He will inevitably have to make some choices at that time.

Therefore, the winning streak will most likely be broken.

However, being fixated on those records is actually a kind of constraint.

Wenger walked onto the pitch and hugged the players, sharing in the joy of victory.

"Qin! It's a pity you didn't get a hat trick today, otherwise you could have taken the match ball home."

It's a bit of a shame about Giroud.

"Alexis was just one goal short." Qin Ming also felt a little regretful.

Sanchez was in great form today, making breakthroughs and shots with ease.

In the later stages of the game, they started to control the game through passing and possession, and their attacking frequency decreased.

"Two goals is already quite good."

Sanchez is easily satisfied.

That's how people are; when they get rid of desires that are incompatible with their status, they can calm down and become more clear-headed.

"When I get back, I'll find someone to choreograph a dance for us, and then everyone can practice for ten minutes every day."

Qin Ming felt that his previous dance was just average, so he decided to come up with something more creative.

"Okay!"

Arsenal players laughed.

This is actually a way to improve relationships among players. When everyone is immersed in learning the celebration moves, they unconsciously get closer to each other.

"N'Golo, change your jersey?"

After finishing his conversation with his teammates, Qin Ming walked over to Kanté and began speaking and gesturing.

"Okay... okay."

Kanté quickly took off his jersey and politely said, "Thank you!"

But Qin Ming on the other side had a completely black face.

Kanté's "Thank you" sounded like "Fuck you," but the key was that Kanté's expression was sincere, and there was no hidden meaning at all.

That's a damn accent.

"Not Fuck you, Thank you!"

Qin Ming corrected Kant's accent, otherwise, if he were ever interviewed, he would definitely be criticized by the British media.

Kant blushed slightly, but no one could tell, and he silently imitated Qin Ming's pronunciation.

He also knew that his French-English was terrible.

"Looking forward to seeing you next time."

A few minutes later, Qin Ming waved and left, seemingly reluctant to leave.

It wasn't that he was still interested in teaching Kanté, but rather that he felt Leicester City's targeted approach in today's match, especially with Kanté marking him closely.

But Leicester City has clearly not yet undergone a transformation, and Kante has not yet become the defensive midfielder who will dominate the world.

So he didn't get to enjoy the game.

Post-match press conference.

"We faced a great team away from home, but our players were in great form. Even when the opponent scored first, we remained calm and composed."

"I think we should all play like we did today from now on, knowing that we need to play well and knowing that we can do it."

"That's right, there are specific tactics involved, but the most important thing is the executor."

Wenger said this to reporters.

Arsenal is now on the right track, and the players are performing better and better.

But he was still a little uneasy.

Injuries and illnesses.

The season has only just begun, so this problem won't surface yet.

But we can wait until after the winter transfer window.

The Champions League, the league, and several English cup competitions will keep Arsenal busy.

There's no doubt that injuries will occur.

We need to take advantage of our good form now to score as many points as possible, so as to avoid falling out of the championship race and ending up empty-handed.

As for the Community Shield, FA Cup and other titles, Wenger really doesn't want to win them anymore; they're all just meaningless competitions.

Didn't you see Mourinho throw away the runner-up medal?
the other side.

Is Arsenal's number 10 really as good as he looks?

The Sun reporter immediately stirred things up.

But Ranieri wasn't about to fall for that. He nodded modestly and said, "Yes, he is very strong. Everyone knows what Arsenal was like last season, but after he joined, Arsenal got what they were missing and completely transformed their tactical system."

"Even now I still can't believe that he is a player who has just turned 18."

“When I was unemployed in 2005, I wrote columns for the media. Now I think I can produce several informative reports for him.”

Unlike some coaches, Ranieri rarely argues after a loss.

"Also, I've seen Leicester City's progress. Although they achieved good results in the early stages, our goal is still to avoid relegation, so it's not surprising that they lost to Arsenal."

Ranieri added another sentence.

On the bus back to North London, Qin Ming yawned out of boredom.

"We're playing Shakhtar Donetsk in four days. Do you know anything about that team?" he asked casually.

"I've played against them before, and they're pretty good. They'd probably be in the lower half of the Premier League."

Arteta has gained knowledge of many teams because he is studying for his coaching certification.

"Qin! It's a pity you can't start that game. You need to prepare for the league match in early October. Our opponent is Manchester United."

Wenger's voice came from the front.

This was a rotation plan he had prepared long ago, and it wouldn't be easily changed unless there were major unforeseen circumstances.

Speaking out now is to avoid Qin Ming overthinking things.

"Then I'll take a rest."

Qin Ming didn't care.

After playing so many matches in a row, he also felt mentally fatigued.

Back at the Colney training ground, I got into my assistant's car and drove home, passing by the Arsenal subway station.

"Hey? Isn't that little Hannah? Drive over there and take a look."

Qin Ming looked up and saw a familiar face.

Hannah and another girl were standing at the subway station exit, seemingly trying to hail a taxi.

But at this time.
Qin Ming glanced at the deep darkness and felt that it was probably not very safe.

Because he had encountered many drunkards on the road before.

"Little Hannah, where are you going? I'll take you there."

Qin Ming rolled down the car window and asked.

"Hey! Qin! What are you doing here?"

Hannah was pleasantly surprised.

"I just finished stretching at the club, and I was just about to go home."

Qin Ming shrugged and asked again, "Do you need me to take you?"

"Really? That's great! We're going to Leicester to watch the game today, but our train back is delayed! By the way, Qin, you played fantastic today, especially..."

After Hannah and her friends got into the car, they started chattering away like sparrows.

"Where is your friend going? Take her there first."

Qin Ming simply smiled.

In fact, it's not just Wenger and Pat Rice who enjoy spending time with young people.

So does he himself.

Hannah's passion for football and her optimistic attitude made him feel much more relaxed.

And occasionally hearing others praise me... Hmm, that's pretty good.

"Oh, Qin, this is my senior, Maria! She lives in District 1."

Hannah then remembered and quickly introduced it.

"Hello." Qin Ming nodded slightly in greeting.

Maria nodded.

But her brown eyes kept moving, scrutinizing Qin Ming in the dim light.

It seems different from what my father said.

Qin Ming didn't ask any questions. He had his assistant drive him to the city center and chatted casually with Hannah.

But when he arrived at his destination and opened the car door, his eyes widened in surprise.

what's the situation?
Isn't that Guardiola? Shouldn't he be in Manchester? Why is he in London?
"Ahem! Hello, Mr. Guardiola."

Although the two were rivals in both the Bundesliga and the Premier League, Guardiola criticized the club's behavior and praised himself when he was coaching Bayern Munich.

Qin Ming should still be polite.

Guardiola looked bewildered for a moment, then his face turned ashen.

His gaze shifted between his daughter, Hannah, and Qin Ming.

He also wanted to know what was going on.

I led my team to an away game against Tottenham, thinking we could easily get three points, but Tottenham played like they were on steroids today, treating the game like the North London derby.

The final goal-fest between the two teams ended in a 4-4 draw.

I was in a bad mood.

But since it's his daughter's birthday tomorrow, he finished work early and didn't go back to Manchester with the team. Instead, he came to his residence in London.

But he and his wife had just come downstairs when they saw this scene.

Late at night, daughter, boy. These words together give Guardiola a real headache.

However, he also knew that he might be overthinking things.

"Didn't you say you'd take a taxi back? What happened?"

Guardiola was implying something.

"Oh, Qin is Hannah's friend. He saw us and just gave us a ride."

Maria didn't notice anything amiss.

But Qin Ming is a striker with a keen sense of smell; Guardiola's expression and tone are about 80% similar to Wenger's before.

Oh shit.

Do I look like a blond-haired kid in other people's eyes?

He was a little angry.

"Mr. Guardiola, it's getting late, so we'll be leaving now."

Qin Ming still politely said goodbye.

Once the taillights of the nanny van disappeared into the London night, the Guardiola family of five, heading back home, began gossiping.

How did Hannah come to know Qin?

Guardiola held back his question.

"She broke up with Mike that day at her uncle's bar."

Maria also found it a bit unbelievable.

Finally, she asked curiously, "Dad, are you familiar with Qin? You used to be the coach of the first team, and he was a player on the second team."

Guardiola's expression darkened upon hearing this.

He recalled what was arguably the worst season of his coaching career.

All things are empty.

I still feel ashamed when I think about it now.

Moreover, part of Bayern's collapse last season was due to Qin Ming.

Of course, he couldn't blame Qin Ming, since Bayern had made the mistake first and deserved to be punished.

But sometimes he still can't help but fantasize late at night.

If I had acted sooner and hadn't worried about the transfer issue, would everything have been different?
That way, Qin Ming wouldn't have left Bayern Munich, let alone joined Wolfsburg.

It's all Ten Hach's fault!

Guardiola cursed inwardly.

"I'm not very familiar with him either," he said after a long pause.

"Ok."

Maria recalled Qin Ming's figure and was suddenly filled with curiosity.

How can someone not much older than me accomplish so much: winning the Bundesliga and Europa League titles with the team, breaking the record for the youngest player to score a hat-trick, breaking the Europa League all-time goal record, and setting a new football transfer fee record?
He also seems to be very gentle.

Maria remembered the story Hannah had told her.

"Little Hannah, I want to make a promise to you. Next time we meet Chelsea, I will definitely score more goals. That's for this reason."

That sentence sounds incredibly reassuring.

"Your daughter looks like..."

Christina nudged Guardiola.

She also remembers seeing the Barcelona midfielder at his peak in the summer of 1994, helping the team defend their La Liga title and win their first-ever Champions League title.

At that time, she was a model for Antonio Milutinovic.

However, the two did not immediately spark a romance, but she was also filled with curiosity, which allowed their relationship to gradually deepen.

“Maria, your priority right now is your studies. You said you wanted to come to England from Spain for a different learning environment, and I agreed. But you also need to work hard and not let other things distract you.”

Guardiola almost jumped up, and said earnestly, "And that kid is no good. He elbowed people a lot during the game and even broke someone's ribs."

"Dad, I understand!"

Maria waved her hand impatiently. All rebellious girls are the same; they don't listen to their parents.

Moreover, the more her father forbade her to do something, the more she wanted to do it.

"What a fucking unlucky day!"

Guardiola watched his daughter's retreating figure, inwardly roaring with rage.

First he was held to a draw by Tottenham, and then this happened; he's really on the verge of collapse.

The person who started this had already gone home and taken a cold shower after dropping off little Hannah.

"Today is a good day~"

After taking a shower, he wandered around the living room wrapped in a towel, feeling incredibly happy.

why?
Because the template integration has been improved.

Moreover, they won the game, Manchester City drew with Tottenham, and widened the gap to two points.

This is something to be very happy about.

Liverpool beat Aston Villa 3-2, Manchester United beat Sunderland 3-0, and several strong teams didn't underperform.

Oh, Mourinho's Chelsea have faltered, they also got a draw today, conceding a last-minute equalizer to Newcastle.

The last day of September.

Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal enter the second round of the Champions League group stage.

Their opponents are Shakhtar Donetsk from the Ukrainian Premier League.

Last year, due to the turmoil in the international situation, miners were forced to cross the entire country, moving from Donetsk in the east to Lviv in the west.

Qin Ming sat on the bench, chatting with Arteta while watching the game.

Arsenal's attacking pace slowed down without him on the field.

However, Shakhtar Donetsk is not a strong team, and many talented players transferred to other clubs early on due to the relocation of their home stadium.

After all, nobody wants the football to turn into a bomb while they're playing.

The 30th minute of the game.

Arsenal broke the deadlock when Walcott lofted the ball into the penalty area from the right wing, but Shakhtar Donetsk goalkeeper Pyatov parried it.

Giroud seized the opportunity and easily scored on the rebound.

Then, in the 50th minute of the match...

Stepanenko tackled Chamberlain in the penalty area and was awarded a red card and a penalty by the referee.

Walcott's serve went in perfectly.

Ultimately, Arsenal, with a rotated lineup, conceded a goal in the 78th minute with a header, but managed to hold on until the very end.

They won the second round of the Champions League group stage with a score of 2-1.
