Football: Starting from the Ronaldinho template

Chapter 197 Unveiling the Secret! The True Identities of the Two Women Accompanying Arsenal Star Qin Ming!
The first half ended quickly, with Chelsea trailing 0-2.

Stamford Bridge.

Before Qin Ming and his teammates even entered the tunnel, they heard boos from Chelsea fans. "Are they provoked?"

"The main reason is that the recent results have been poor, which puts a lot of pressure on the fans."

Giroud can understand that feeling.

They were the Premier League champions last season, but they've already put on a disastrous performance at the start of this season.

Players and coaches are engaged in internal power struggles, and the team doctor is constantly causing trouble.

It's like all sorts of terrible things have happened at once.

"Then we're quite innocent." Qin Ming didn't want to be the one to be bullied.

"Ignore them, just play well and we'll get the points."

Mertesacker offered a reminder.

Back to the locker room.

Wenger tapped the tactical board lightly, and after everyone quieted down, he spoke: "Through the first half of the game, I believe you have also noticed that Chelsea was affected by off-field factors, and their overall competitive state was very poor."

"We were able to score two goals, which is certainly due to our ability, but we shouldn't be too happy too soon."

"Let's talk about the defense first. In the 28th minute, Chelsea launched a counter-attack. Francis, you covered the wing, but Pell didn't push forward, directly exposing the gap in the flank. If the opponent's attacking midfielder moved across, that would be an opportunity."

"And that ball play from the back in the 39th minute—has he been playing too much for the national team and forgotten the simplicity we emphasize?"

"There are problems on the offensive end. Why didn't anyone follow up with Qin's continuous dribbling in the backfield? Otherwise, we wouldn't have to wait for him to get past his opponent. He could have received the ball on his second dribble and delivered it to the forwards at a faster speed."

"Qin, you also have a problem that needs to be corrected. You don't use enough body language. You need to learn to use this method to tell your teammates what you're thinking."

Wenger gradually suppressed his smile.

He knew that Arsenal had been on a winning streak lately, and the players were getting a little complacent.

He has seen similar situations in his many years of coaching.

The final result is the same: pride comes before a fall.

Moreover, people who are too proud often suffer a major setback.

Wenger felt it was necessary to give the players a talking-to.

“Indeed, it’s not that we’re too strong, it’s that Chelsea are too weak.” Sanchez was the first to understand what he meant.

He is now the person in the team who has the clearest understanding of his own role.

"I'll try my best to adjust later." Qin Ming nodded in agreement.

Since joining Arsenal, he has achieved eight consecutive league wins and a perfect record in preseason, which has made him a bit dizzy.

Besides, Arsenal's midfielders are different from De Bruyne; their understanding with each other doesn't need words.

After playing for a long time, I subconsciously accept this situation, thus ignoring communication with my teammates, and sometimes I even act recklessly on my own.

"Okay, I'm not saying this to criticize you, but because we still have a long way to go, and we can only keep improving."

Wenger smiled again.

After being doused with cold water, the gunmen sobered up considerably.

The game entered the second half.

Chelsea's form is much the same as before, and it's clear that Mourinho didn't solve those complex problems at halftime.

Such a Blue Team poses no threat to the Gunners.

Qin Ming also strengthened communication with his teammates, letting them know his thoughts.

It must be said that Wenger has a very keen eye for talent.

He realized that the problem preventing Arsenal's midfield from becoming more fluid was precisely this.

Although it has only improved slightly so far.

But Wenger believes that as time goes on, Qin Ming's chemistry with his teammates will improve further, and Qin Ming is also making progress in a positive direction.

Then the beautiful football in his mind will appear on the green field.

"Body language," Qin Ming was pondering the word.
Does it represent a clear running position, a prominent stance, or something else?

I haven't played football for very long, so there are many things that require experience that can't be improved through the system; I can only learn them through daily practice and matches.

For example, how to position yourself.

It sounds simple, but to reach the level of Inzaghi, Müller, and others, it's probably not something that can be achieved simply through hard work.

Qin Ming felt that he didn't need to reach that level.

"The road ahead is long!" He didn't dare to neglect other skills just because he had a system and templates.

The 67th minute of the game.

Hazard's corner kick from the right was delivered into the Arsenal penalty area, where Diego Costa, with his extensive experience, was spotted. He's a seasoned veteran in the professional football scene.

A concealed elbow strike landed hard on Mertesacker before he calmly headed the ball away.

Cech, who returned to Stamford Bridge, was no longer the same as before.

He is indeed old.

He was only a fraction too slow in his dive, and could only watch the ball go into the net.

Chelsea pulled one back.

However, Chelsea fans hadn't even had time to celebrate for a few minutes when Qin Ming broke past Ivanovic on the baseline, only to have the ball cleared out of bounds by Zouma who was covering for him.

Arsenal's corner kick was also delivered into the penalty area, but Mertesacker redeemed himself.

1-3!

With the Champions League match just three days away, Wenger began making substitutions to play a defensive game.

Qin Ming was the first to be substituted off the field.

Cazorla and Ramsey were subsequently replaced by Arteta and Flamini.

The story Chelsea fans were hoping for ultimately didn't happen, and the match ended just like that.

After the 9th round of the Premier League, Chelsea still have 11 points.

Mourinho stood on the sidelines, his back looking somewhat forlorn, as Chelsea fans in the stands booed him.

"Heh!" Qin Ming chuckled upon seeing it.

Fans all over the world seem to be pretty much the same: no matter how many honors a coach has brought in the past, as long as he performs poorly, they forget that he has become completely disrespectful.

Wasn't Arsenal the same before?
Thinking of this, Qin Ming turned to look at Wenger.

Perhaps it was the sight of the scene that stirred up painful memories, for the professor pursed his thin lips, his face, marked by the passage of time, etched with sadness.

He did not mock Mourinho again after the match.

However, according to The Sun, Abramovich is very dissatisfied with the Portuguese manager and has issued an ultimatum: if Chelsea cannot return to the top eight in the league before Christmas.

Then Mourinho should be sacked.

When Qin Ming got home, he almost jumped up as soon as he turned on his phone.

Manchester City 6-0 Newcastle!

Ding Ding, you're going to kill me!

How did he assist in a hat-trick, helping Aguero score five goals?

Am I playing in the Bundesliga? Manchester City has turned into Bayern Munich, attacking with incredible speed and precision, right?

"My buddy finally scored 9 goals in 9 rounds, but then Aguero scored 5 in a single game, and now he's only 2 goals away from scoring."

Qin Ming drew circles in frustration.

Half an hour later, he realized he had misread it.

The Manchester City match data hadn't been updated yet; he was just looking at Round 8. In Round 9, Manchester City beat Bournemouth 5-2.

Fortunately, Aguero didn't play, and Navas, Sterling, and Bony scored goals. De Bruyne also topped the assist chart with two assists, overtaking him.

"Can you make things easier for me?"

Qin Ming leaned on the balcony railing, complaining about the endless darkness.

The next day, he went to Bertrand Carlsen's bar, where Hannah said she would treat him to a nice meal to thank him for the goal he scored to get revenge on his ex-boyfriend.

As for why he came?

He had thought about it a lot before, but perhaps it was Hannah's enthusiasm and her innocent personality that made him feel so relaxed.

This is how you interact with positive energy.

Therefore, he really hoped to become friends with Hannah.

What are you doing here?

Qin Ming had just sat down at the bar when the chair next to him was pulled out with a sizzling sound.

Maria Guardiola's daughter, and Hannah's senior in school.

"Do you speak Spanish?" Maria thought of the information about the Wolfsburg Twin Towers on her father's computer. Although the file was password protected, she couldn't see the details.

However, the size also indicates how vast the data inside is.

To be honest, she had a strong curiosity about Wolfsburg, who upset Bayern Munich last season to win the Bundesliga title.

After all, people yearn for stories that defy common sense.

"No, I only speak German, English, and Chinese." Qin Ming shook his head.

"Shall we go out for dinner together later?"

Seeing Qin Ming frown, Maria quickly added, "Of course, it's my treat!"

"You don't know, Louis likes Hannah. Didn't Hannah break up with Mike? You two go eat alone."

Maria added another explanation.

"Ok."

Qin Ming's slightly furrowed brows relaxed; he could understand Maria.

His reputation is too great.

Hannah is still a high school student and has her own life.

If she were photographed by reporters, it would definitely have an impact, but Maria is not afraid.

As Guardiola's daughter, she already receives a lot of media attention.

There are too many lice and they are not itchy.

As Hannah walked into the bar, Maria confidently raised an eyebrow. "I told you I could convince Qin."

Since Maria was treating, the restaurant she chose was very upscale.

Anyway, it's all Guardiola's money that's being spent.

Qin Ming didn't care.

An unexpected incident occurred after the meal.

"Leia, what are you doing here? Aren't you going to school today?"

Qin Ming greeted with a smile.

During this period, the two would occasionally chat online, and the conversation would naturally revolve around Wenger.

Their relationship changed from strangers to friends.

"We don't have classes every day."

Leia answered with a smile.

But his gaze subtly bypassed Qin Ming, landing on the two girls behind him, before he asked with a half-smile, "Aren't you going to introduce them?"

"Hello, Maria Guardiola."

Maria stepped forward, stood to Qin Ming's right, and extended her hand to introduce herself.

"That... Hannah Taylor, is currently attending St. Paul's Girls' School."

The moment Hannah saw Leia, it was as if she saw the headmaster.

The academic atmosphere was so strong.

Sure enough, she subconsciously became nervous. Even though she only needed to say her name, she blurted out information such as her school and age.

"Hello, Leia Wenger, currently studying neurology at Cambridge University."

Leia smiled gently at Hannah, then looked into Maria's eyes.

From Maria's self-introduction, she instantly understood Maria's relationship with Guardiola.

But what puzzled her was why Qin Ming was having dinner with Guardiola's daughter.
Logically speaking, the two shouldn't have any personal relationship, after all, Qin Ming was kicked out by Bayern Munich.

Or is Guardiola resorting to using his honey trap to poach players?

Leia's mind raced, and she instantly made a lot of connections.

Maria was also sizing up Leia.

Wenger's daughter?
She didn't know what the relationship was between Leia and Qin Ming, but judging from the way they greeted each other, they must be quite familiar with each other.

It's still Cambridge University.

Hannah was trembling a little, because being sandwiched between the two of them, she could feel the atmosphere changing.

"Ahem. If there's nothing else, we'll be going now."

Qin Ming interrupted Leia before she could finish speaking.

During the time it took for the group to talk, quite a few people had already come to watch.

If the restaurant weren't so upscale, people would probably be taking pictures with their phones, so it's best to leave as soon as possible.

"Row."

Leia nodded understandingly, then shook his phone a few times, saying, "I have a few football-related questions. Let's talk about it on WhatsApp later."

"no problem."

Qin Ming responded with a smile.

In his mind, he was actually thinking, "If we want to discuss football, we should talk to the professor."

There probably aren't many people in the world who know more about football than him, right?

After finally taking the two girls home, Qin Ming felt inexplicably tired and went to sleep early.

But the editors at The Sun weren't asleep; they were excitedly yelling with dark circles under their eyes.

They had been watching Qin Ming for nearly three months.

The results of it?
They can't even find the slightest scandal, and more importantly, they don't dare to make things up.

Because the legal departments of the Volkswagen Group and other major brands are very effective.

Barnett had warned them beforehand that minor news stories were fine, but if Qin Ming's reputation was damaged, he would definitely pursue the matter to the end.

Now, people have even taken real photos.

Does this count as making it up?
The Sun: Unveiling the truth! Arsenal star Qin Ming was seen entering and leaving Alain, and the real identities of the two women accompanying him were revealed!

Nothing seemed to be said.

Guardiola was in a great mood because of the big victory the day before yesterday, but the news that popped up on his phone made his heart skip a beat.

With trembling hands, I clicked on the pop-up window and saw the misaligned photo that made us look intimate.

It's black in front of you.

What's wrong with Qin Ming, that bastard? We've only known each other for a few days, and he's already taken me to a restaurant?
It's not over yet.

When he saw the bottom of the news article, he exclaimed, "Isn't that my credit card?"

He's a bit overwhelmed.

Now, in his eyes, Qin Ming is more than just a blond-haired guy.

Guardiola took several deep breaths, forcibly suppressing his anger, before managing a smile and making the call.

"Dad! Can you trust The Sun? A few days ago they said Rooney's wife, Coleen, is going to be on 'I Am a Celebrity,' and that Coleen believes Rooney can get better so she can go to work without worry. Do you believe that?"

"."

Guardiola was speechless.

Arsène Wenger in North London was also a bit confused, because the photo he was looking at showed Leia smiling and waving at Qin Ming.

I wonder if it's been photoshopped.

Anyway, his smile was very ambiguous.

It makes people wonder what the relationship between the two is.

Wenger recently separated from his wife and didn't dare to call to inquire, fearing he might upset his daughter again.

The key issue was that he couldn't very well ask Qin Ming.

It's all because The Sun is so good at making things up. If there's nothing between the two of them, isn't his inexplicable question just annoying?

The managers of the top two teams in the Premier League standings were not in a good mood after their victories.

Louis, on the contrary, was very happy.

Qin Ming has an ambiguous relationship with those two people, so he can't have an ambiguous relationship with Hannah.

Then your chances will be much greater.

It's no wonder he lacked confidence; Qin Ming was just too outstanding, and he wasn't much older than them.

He even made a point of going to the bar several more times.

This made Bertrand Carlson very happy, as he felt his son had seen his transformation.
