Football: Starting from the Ronaldinho template

Chapter 203 Puskás Award Nominee! EFL Cup Victory Over Sheffield Wednesday! A resounding victory against Swansea, silencing the British media!

Arsenal won their 10th Premier League match.

Some British media outlets have changed their tune and started praising and extolling the artists again.

However, some media outlets believe that Everton is weak and not a good reference point, and that Arsenal is still bullying the weak.

And just as the public opinion was in an uproar.

Voting is currently underway for two of the most prestigious football awards.

First is the Puskás Prize.

This award was established by Blatter on October 20, 2009, after visiting the Puskás Football Academy in Budapest, Hungary.

He stated, "We want to commemorate those who have left a great mark on the history of world football. Puskás was a genius player who won countless honors and deserves to be remembered. Therefore, we are delighted to name this new award after him to express our respect for him."

The selection criteria for this award are not very strict.

1. For aesthetic appeal, the goal must be a beautiful one, such as a long-range shot, a team play, or a bicycle kick.

2. No discrimination shall be made based on the nature of the event in which the goal is scored, the gender of the goal scorer, or the nationality of the goal scorer.

3. Goals cannot be scored due to luck or mistakes by the opposing players.

4. It must comply with the principle of fair competition.

Qin Ming recalls that one year the Puskás Award was given to a disabled professional player.

Who was selected this year?

He clicked on the FIFA website, which had already published 10 candidate goals.

In the League One match between Fleetwood Town and Preston North End, David Ball scored a stunning long-range goal.

In the Copa del Rey final, Messi dribbled past four players before scoring.

In the Women's World Cup semi-final, Carly Loed scored a lob shot from the halfway line.

In the Champions League group stage, Florenzi scored a lob shot from 55 yards out on the wing.

In the Asian Cup knockout stage, Qin Ming dribbled past defenders and scored a goal.

"They all seem pretty exciting."

Qin Ming stroked his chin.

He thought he was a shoo-in for the Puskás Award, but after seeing other players score equally brilliant goals, he could only sigh that heroes are as rare as carp crossing a river.

Then we can only seek support from outside the field.

So he took out his phone and posted a message on various social media platforms to solicit votes.

I don't have much else, but I have a lot of fans.

cast!
It crashed the FIFA website!
Sometimes I have to be thankful that if I weren't a Chinese player, I would have faced far more hardships along the way.

He's not the only one campaigning for votes.

His former Wolfsburg teammates, coaches like Dieter Hecking, and current Arsenal teammates, including Arsène Wenger, are also helping him.

If it weren't for the Puskás Award's requirement for fairness, Arsenal would have wanted to allow fans to purchase jerseys and other merchandise at a discount based on their voting records.

But this is clearly a violation of regulations.

"The winners will be officially announced at next year's Golden Globe Awards ceremony."

After Qin Ming finished campaigning for votes, he stopped paying attention.

As for the second major award...

European Golden Boy Award.

Just like he told Martial, everyone else is just there to make up the numbers.

No doubt about it.

The next day, as soon as he arrived at the training base, he found his teammates winking at him.

"Just say what's on your mind," Qin Ming said helplessly.

Are you close to Cara Delevingne?

"I asked in a cheeky tone," Giru asked.

"We just know each other." Qin Ming was still a little scared when he thought of that crazy old woman.

"Wasn't the 17th Teen Choice Awards held recently?"

Bellerin explained, "She not only won the Teen Choice Award for Breakthrough Filmmaker, but also got a Lapuskás Award ticket after the awards ceremony."

The teammates next to him all had ambiguous expressions after hearing this.

In fact, they had seen the Sun's report before and knew that Qin Ming had a good relationship with Wenger's daughter, Leia.

But judging from their appearances alone, the two are not a good match at all.

Leia has the typical look of a top student, not particularly beautiful, and her profession doesn't seem to fit with that of a football player.

As for Guardiola's daughter, she is only 17 years old this year.

Although Qin Ming is only 18 years old, his behavior and mentality are seriously inconsistent with his age.

"We are all ambassadors for Puma."

Qin Ming couldn't understand Delevingne's thought process either. The two of them hadn't had a pleasant conversation last time, so why was she doing this?

"Alright, let's not discuss Qin's personal issues for now, let's talk about the starting lineup for the League Cup."

Wenger clapped his hands, interrupting the discussion.

As a Frenchman, Qin Ming's private life is not something he cares much about.

As long as you don't get drained like Icardi and affect your performance on the field, or indulge in excessive pleasure like Ronaldinho, that's fine.

How could young people live like ascetics?

If Qin Ming lives a monotonous life with no personal life, Wenger will have to find him a psychologist.

"Our opponent is Sheffield Wednesday, a Championship team, whose overall strength is quite good. We will be using a rotated squad, so we must not be careless."

Wenger isn't very interested in the EFL Cup.

If there's even a slight conflict in the schedule, he'll definitely choose to give up.

However, Arsenal's current form allows for rotation.

Hillsborough Stadium two days later.

Qin Ming led a rotation of players including Iwobi, Campbell, and Camara into the game.

Because of his injury treatment module, he has maintained a good condition.

Therefore, Wenger decided to let him play in the first half to see if he could create a goal first, and then solidify the defense in the second half.

Championship teams really have a hard time stopping him.

The 13th minute of the game.

After Qin Ming broke into the penalty area, he used a feint to trick the defender into making a tackle. He was tripped and rolled several times, and the referee promptly awarded a penalty.

They punish themselves for their own actions.

Moreover, Qin Ming looked back and realized that apart from Flamini, there weren't many people who could take penalty kicks.

Chamberlain is an example.

But the Englishmen saw the situation clearly.

He can't even guarantee a starting position now, and he'll most likely be sold in the winter transfer window. Why should he get the penalty kick?

"Qin Ming takes a running start and shoots!"

"Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper Wildsmith guessed the right direction!"

Qin Ming scores on a rebound!

"What a thrilling goal! We almost missed a golden opportunity!"

Zhan Jun loosened his clenched fist.

The EFL Cup isn't considered a very prestigious competition, but as a fan of Qin Ming, he still hopes Arsenal can win.

After all, given Arsenal's tendency, they tend to collapse in the mid-to-late stages of the season.

Rather than ending up with nothing, it's better to win some titles like the Thermos Cup or the League Cup; at least that's a consolation prize.

Taking a one-goal lead made several young players relax.

Arsenal gradually put Sheffield Wednesday under pressure and steadily controlled the pace of the game.

The 38th minute of the game.

Iwobi made a quick breakthrough on the right wing, cut inside, and then cut back to find Chamberlain.

Before he became a meme king, Chamberlain met the ball and slotted it home to change the score.

The match proceeded as Wenger had anticipated. In the second half, he substituted Qin Ming with Bennacer.

Defense.

However, even after losing its core player, the youth team still inevitably encountered problems.

The 82th minute of the game.

Sheffield Wednesday capitalized on a quick counter-attack to break through Arsenal's defense, with João pulling one back for Arsenal.

Fortunately, Arsenal withstood the pressure and held on until the final whistle.

1-2!

Arsenal advanced to the EFL Cup quarterfinals with a rotated squad.

Wenger was actually quite satisfied with this, but the British media stepped in again.

The Daily Mail: Arsenal, as the Premier League leaders, struggled so much against a Championship team, failing to deliver many impressive moments throughout the match. In a sense, this reflects a decline in the league's prestige!
Other media figures also joined in the ridicule.

Gary Neville even stated that if Qin hadn't started, Arsenal would have lost the game in a sorry state and been eliminated by the Championship team.

and also.

The two teams were valued at over €100 million each, yet Arsenal ultimately won by a narrow margin. It just doesn't seem right.

Public opinion did not affect the gunmen's mentality.

Who says you have to win by a large margin when playing against a Championship team?

Some teams, even with their full starting lineup, can still lose due to unexpected events.

Such examples abound.

"Brainless criticism."

The next day, Qin Ming casually complained during dinner.

"We are now the enemy of all the people of England."

Arteta smiled.

"We have another match in two days, against Swansea, an English Premier League team. They want to see us score, right? Well, we'll show them!"

Seeing the comments from the outside world, Qin Ming felt like he was surrounded by flies, buzzing around him in a very annoying way.

Especially Gary Neville.

He was fine as a player, but once he became a commentator, his mouth really became foul.

He just wants to slap all these flies to death.

"Goal!" Giroud pumped his fist.

2015 10 Month 31 Day.

Swansea, Wales.

Free Field.

"Compared to Arsenal, Swansea's advantage lies in the fact that the team did not have a cup match in midweek, and Swansea's squad has not been affected by injuries. Jack Cork's timely return will also add a barrier to the team's midfield."

"Swansea beat Arsenal twice last season, which gave them a psychological advantage."

"But they have gone three home games without a win recently, which is the team's longest home winless streak since February last year. By the way, Swansea never went four home games without a win under Monk's management."

"Also, Swansea's victory over Aston Villa in the last round was their only win in the last 6 rounds."

"This shows that Swansea's form is not good. Can they still beat Arsenal three times?"

on the field.

Qin Ming received a pass from Cazorla and was immediately marked by Ki Sung-yueng.

This is the task the head coach assigned to the South Korean defensive midfielder.

Close marking defense.

Qin Ming raised his arm to block Ji Chengyong, and twisted his body suddenly.

Cruyff turned around.

"A beautiful crotch puncture!"

"He cuts past Norton, tearing apart Swansea's flank defense, and sends a cross down the wing to Giroud!"

"Oh! What a pity, former Arsenal goalkeeper Fabianski made a brilliant save to keep the goal intact!"

Free Field.

The Swansea fans cheered loudly.

They've been reading a lot of British media reports lately and feel that Arsenal's fortunes are over and Qin Ming's golden age is over.

However, when Cazorla took the corner kick from the left...

Swansea center-back Williams made a clearance error, touching the ball to the right side of the penalty area.

Arsenal fans stood up.

Because Qin Ming was lying in ambush there, and he kicked out before Ki Sung-yong could make any mistakes!
Bang! He fired a powerful shot without even considering the angle.

The momentum is strong and sinking.

Fernandez felt a chill on his testicles.

Whoosh! The football whistled past his legs and smashed into the goal like a cannonball.

Fabianski was completely unable to respond effectively.

"Yeah!!!" The gunmen who went on the expedition raised their hands and cheered.

Qin Ming ran towards the corner flag, bent down in front of the camera, made a disgusted face, and waved his hand in front of his nose.

He was alluding to those media outlets that are like dog shit.

"It's not over yet!" After celebrating, Qin Ming turned around and stared intently at the goal.

"Keep going!"

Arsenal players were also provoked.

Fabianski sighed helplessly, then glanced at Wenger.

Wenger had actually tried to persuade him not to leave, but he ultimately chose a new challenge.

"The former Arsenal goalkeeper couldn't stop Qin Ming!"

"Arsenal scored a goal in the 8th minute!"

"Speaking of which, Arsenal has had quite a few goalkeepers in recent years, such as Fabianski, Martinez, Szczesny, Ospina, and so on."

"But the most successful one is Jens Lehman."

"Because he helped the Gunners achieve a record of 49 unbeaten games in the Premier League."

Zhan Jun believes that Cech will be the most successful in the post-Lehmann era.

Before he could continue explaining to the fans, the situation reversed instantly, with a pace so fast it was breathtaking.

Shelvey intercepted the ball in the middle and made a through pass, but Mertesacker's risky tackle failed.

Bellerin was very fast in chasing back.

After tracking back to position, he made a sliding tackle from the side, passing the ball to Cech in front of the goal.

Arsenal's counterattack is on.

Cech passed the ball to the wing, Monreal received the ball and passed it to Cazorla, then passed it to Qin Ming who had moved laterally into the heart of the field.

Ji Chengyong followed suit step by step.

Useless.

Qin Ming pulled the ball back and turned, facing Ki Sung-yueng directly, his ankle twitching slightly.

An exaggerated trajectory suddenly appeared.

Ki Sung-yong's consciousness and body clashed, causing him to lose his balance and fall to the ground in a sorry state.

"Signature Bull Tail Dribble!"

"Swansea's defense isn't organized yet. Qin Ming and Giroud combine with a one-two, and Qin Ming is one-on-one with Fabianski!"

"A lob pass!"

"Beautiful! A delicate lob pass, and he scores another goal!"

"Two goals!"

"Arsenal today, and Qin Ming today, are both in absolutely incredible form!"

Zhan Jun was extremely passionate.

Seeing Arsenal being criticized for almost half a month, he also felt a lot of pent-up emotions.

on the field.

Qin Ming ignited the away stands with a rising dragon punch.

"It's not enough. Even if we beat Swansea, they'll still say that only by beating PSG can we prove those people wrong."

Qin Ming looked at the excited expressions of the Arsenal fans and thought to himself.

But this doesn't affect his desire to win by a large margin against Swansea.

On the sidelines, Wenger, wearing a cashmere suit, asked, "Pat, do you know what special meaning this goal has?"

"Huh?" Pat Rice was a little confused.

"This is my 2000th goal in 19 years since I started managing Arsenal in 1996."

Wenger laughed.

"So much time has passed."

Pat Rice was lost in memories.

Arsenal continued their offensive pressure while the two were talking.

Perhaps spurred on by Qin Ming, Sanchez was in high spirits today. When he made a series of breakthroughs on the right wing and delivered a cross, Giroud's header caused Fabianski to fumble.

Faced with a seemingly impossible opportunity, Giroud quickly dove to the ground and poked the ball into the goal.

Before the first half was even over, Arsenal were already leading by three goals.

The Swansea players were stunned by the kick.

However, Swansea fans only began to feel despair after the start of the second half.

In the 76th minute, Qin Ming nutmegged Ki Sung-yueng and delivered a low cross.

Who knew Giroud would kick too hard and miss?

This gave Sanchez the advantage at the far post, and the Chilean powerhouse unleashed a first-time shot, making the score 0-4!

finally.

Arsenal returned to North London with a four-goal difference and three points.
