Football: Starting from the Ronaldinho template

Chapter 209 Kyle Walker's Attempt to Steal a Chicken Backfires! The French heartthrob's kung fu football! The North London derby comes to an end.
In the home team's locker room.

"It stopped raining towards the end of the first half, and it should be the same in the second half."

"Also, Tottenham's pressing intensity wasn't that high earlier, so their stamina wasn't as depleted as one might expect."

"So we can increase possession, but we must be careful not to lose possession in our own half."

As the overseer of the Emirates Stadium, Wenger was very familiar with the stadium's drainage system.

The grass field, formed by mixing sand and soil in a 95% and 5% ratio, can quickly drain away water even in heavy rain, preventing players from playing water football.

Not to mention the 15-minute halftime break.

The slope of the pitch itself allows water to drain from the grass.

"It's already been agreed upon over there."

Pat Rice went into the locker room after he had gone to the stadium management to ask them not to spray water during halftime.

The current humidity level is just right.

If it gets too wet, it will not only make them more slippery, but it will also hinder their passing and control.

"A football match is more than just a game," Qin Ming remarked after hearing this.

Logistics, tactics, and so on are also part of the game.

He only remembered a few Bundesliga teams, who sprayed water like crazy and played like they were ice skating.

He also heard that in the vegetable fields of several Chinese Super League teams, the players were passing the ball on the ground, but it hit a hole and bounced directly into the air.

If you can also avoid the defenders, that would be amazing.

"Be careful of long-range shots in the second half, especially Tottenham's number 23, whose shooting technique is very good."

Wenger added a reminder.

Then he left the locker room to the team members so they could take the time to rest and change.

"I feel like our first goal had an element of luck."

Qin Ming casually remarked as he fixed his hair in front of the mirror.

"Indeed, there was still a lot of water on the field at the time. If the last two shots had been ground balls, I estimate they would have been intercepted most likely."

Giroud nodded.

Then he became proud again, "That's why I gave Qin a ball that was suspended in mid-air!"

"Amazing! Amazing!" Qin Ming praised without thinking.

"The second goal was simply unbelievable. Tottenham's very fast full-back was beaten by Qin so many times that it could be a highlight reel, right?"

Cazorla couldn't help but laugh when he thought of Kyle Walker.

How could someone be so miserable that being a background character once wasn't enough?

But if he puts himself in someone else's shoes...

He was playing for a Premier League team in the Europa League, and Qin Ming toyed with him so badly in the penalty area.

As a result, in the second season, Qin Ming even made it to the Premier League, where he continued to face off against him.

Just thinking about it makes me feel hopeless.

"A two-goal lead is not enough. This is the North London derby. Don't underestimate them. Stay vigilant in the second half!"

Flamini, as a veteran, provided timely guidance to his teammates.

That's why a team can't consist entirely of young people.

Young people are easily blinded by emotions, and even Qin Ming was not immune to this.

"Okay!" Everyone quickly suppressed their smiles and replied.

The away team's locker room.

"People don't say we lost to Arsenal anymore!"

Pochettino rarely motivates his players, but today he was furious. "They say we lost to one person! From the Europa League last season, to the EFL Cup, and now the league! They say we're going to keep losing!"

"I don't know what you're thinking, but I truly feel ashamed!"

"A team lost to one person?"

Pochettino's low voice betrayed his undisguised anger.

"If you don't want to be remembered with shame, then play something in the second half. Don't let your attacks stall in midfield. Use your bodies to push Arsenal outwards. That's the simplest and most effective way!"

Pochettino drew four or five arrows.

All forward.

"Tottenham have substituted Lamela, with Son Heung-min coming on as a substitute!"

"The Argentine player held onto the ball too long, causing Tottenham to miss several chances. It's said that Tottenham will sell him at the end of this season!"

"But I think it's unlikely that anyone will be willing to take it on!"

After the start of the second half, Son Heung-min acted very cautiously. He had been benched because he hadn't been playing well recently.

With no one to rely on, they are now facing a very difficult situation.

Fortunately, Pochettino likes to give young people opportunities.

"Qin!" Without the influence of rain, Arsenal's passing and movement became more fluid.

Qin Ming received a through pass from Kirkland and immediately shielded the ball to the left.

Bang! Son Heung-min was moved to the right wing, not only to attack Arsenal's defense, but also to better support Qin Ming.

"Wow, that was way too intense!"

Just as Qin Ming was about to pull the ball back, Dale pounced and cleared it out of bounds.

"I'll observe the situation around me later and try to find another side."

Qin Ming was also knocked to the ground, his clean jersey, which he had just changed into, was now covered in wet mud.

Sanchez is doing a better and better job as a workhorse now.

There's no reason not to let the Chilean star share the pressure, after all, he's the second highest-paid player on the team.

“Okay!” Kirkland had limited organizational skills, but he was good at listening to others’ opinions.

The 59th minute of the game.

When Eriksen dropped back to the center to organize the attack, the offense was noticeably different with him involved, and Tottenham gradually found their form.

Dembele!
He shares the same surname as a future gaming legend, but his overall skill level is inferior.

However, both De Bruyne and Hazard praised him highly.

"If football were a five-a-side game, Dembele would be the best in the world!"

Snap! Dembele and Eriksen combined to avoid Cazorla's pressing, with Dembele even using a crossover dribble to get past Flamini.

"Dembele is a football genius. I compare him to Ronaldinho, Maradona, and Okocha."

"Dembele is one of the most talented players in football history."

These two sentences are Pochettino's assessment of him.

Was he bragging or not?

It's definitely over!

Just look at the way Dembele's tail moves and the subsequent actions.

That would make it obvious to people that there is a visible difference between him and Qin Ming.

However, it's enough to deal with the tall Mertesacker.

"Harry!" Dembele stopped abruptly again, changed direction, and created enough space to pass the ball to Harry Kane.

The British Empire is carrying Koscielny.

When K6 first joined Arsenal, the team was definitely at a Ligue 2 level and was the epitome of the red card and penalty package.

But defenders are different from forwards; defenders have to pay their dues.

The ups and downs of the past few years have allowed him to grow rapidly, shedding his "flop" label, and he's been in phenomenal form this season.

"Support him and steal the ball!"

Koscielny shouted at Monreal, but actually took a half step back.

really.

The inexperienced Harry Kane chose to split up and find Son Heung-min.

Snap! Koscielny anticipated the ball's trajectory correctly and intercepted it halfway through its flight.

However, his clearance with a long kick was somewhat flawed.

The ball was passed to Dier in the center circle, but Qin Ming's header was mediocre, and he failed to get to the first ball.

"Don't back out!" Dell yelled.

Eriksen received the ball and looked up.

Arsenal's two defensive midfielders were not in good positions due to their continuous transitions between attack and defense, giving them plenty of shooting space.

Bang! Without hesitation, he also unleashed a long-range shot, aiming straight for the top left corner of the goal.

He has never been a simple midfielder, having scored 13 goals and provided 22 assists in a single season for Ajax.

Offense is his favorite thing to do.

The shot was powerful and heavy, but the trajectory was unpredictable.

This is a manifestation of the Magnus effect.

This caused Cech to misjudge the situation before making the save, raising his hand a few centimeters too low and failing to prevent the ball from going into the net.

"Eriksen! Long shot! Goal!" "Tottenham have made it 2-1 in the 61st minute!"

"Eriksen's beautiful long-range shot!"

Tottenham's official commentator, Wao Leighton, gripped his headset and roared.

Then he began to tell the story of Erikson.

1992 was a significant year for the Danes.

Because in the European Championship held in Sweden that same year, Denmark replaced Yugoslavia, who had been disqualified due to the civil war.

They ultimately fought their way through the competition and won the championship trophy.

Danish fairy tales.

Erikson was born on Valentine's Day of the same year.

He idolizes the Laudrup brothers and dreams of leading Denmark to create another fairytale.

"This is Eriksen's sixth long-range goal for Tottenham!"

"His balanced use of both feet, coupled with his keen observation skills, enhances the quality of his long-range shots!"

"That long-range shot was absolutely beautiful, leaving Czech goalkeeper Petr Čech helpless!"

Zhan Jun praised the replay.

On the pitch, the Tottenham players were in high spirits, running back towards their half with the ball in their arms.

The first goal in a match is very important.

Because it means you can score goals and break through the opponent's defense.

This can greatly boost the players' confidence.

"Come on you Tottenham!" Tottenham fans were also very enthusiastic, imitating Arsenal fans' chants and shouting at the top of their lungs.

"It feels just as good as my long-range shot." Qin Ming wasn't too disappointed; instead, he looked down at the instep.

His proficiency in "precise volley" only recently exceeded 90%, yet it already makes him a significant threat to the goal.

But to execute a long-range shot with little spin and an unpredictable trajectory is difficult.

Greater efforts are needed.

"I'll do extra leg training later."

Qin Ming also hopes that one day in the future, he can kick a powerful world-class goal.

Ideally, it should be like Batistuta's.

"Cheer up!" Flamini clapped his hands, bringing the Arsenal players back to their senses.

Thanks to the constant ridicule they faced from various media outlets after their loss to Paris Saint-Germain, they developed an optimistic mindset.

It's okay if we concede a goal.

Solve problems and continue to make progress.

"I wanted to say something more, but looking at the boys' expressions, I knew I didn't need to."

Wenger stopped in his tracks.

He then glanced at the next room, where Pochettino had just finished celebrating and was gesturing to his players to intensify their attack.

"Arsenal's goalkeeper is not in good form! They use long-range shots from outside the penalty area or loft shots into the box to create chaos and put pressure on their goalkeeper!"

Pochettino does have a certain level of coaching ability.

But after the restart, he was a little confused.

Qin Ming is holding the ball with his back to goal on the left flank.

Kyle Walker was a little dazed, not knowing what had gotten into him, and actually grabbed Qin Ming's left hand and slapped himself.

"What the hell?!" Qin Ming was stunned, as if struck by lightning.

what's the situation?
He has been in professional football for over a year and has never encountered a similar situation.

"Referee! Referee! I didn't touch him at all! He grabbed my hand and slapped it hard against his own face!"

Qin Ming had to protest his innocence.

Otherwise, if I get a red card, wouldn't I feel incredibly wronged?

His red card was more pathetic than those of Beckham, Zidane, and Kaká.

After all, they really did it, so even if they were betrayed by their opponents, there were reasons for it.

But I didn't do it.

"I saw it very clearly!"

Oliver glanced at Qin Ming, then looked at Kyle Walker.

The Englishmen were still rolling on the ground.

The glint in his eyes through his fingers revealed a mixture of panic, helplessness, and delight.

He thought he was a little genius.

Knowing they couldn't stop Qin Ming, they might as well use underhanded tactics early on.

However, when he saw Oliver pull out a yellow card, he exclaimed, "Don't treat the referee like an idiot!"

Kyle Walker abandoned his act and sprang to his feet, vehemently denying his actions.

"Stop talking! And stop slapping yourself with my hand. If you have that need, I guarantee I'll satisfy you after the match!"

Qin Ming was also disgusted.

If Kyle Walker causes Arsenal to be sent off with a red card, Arsenal will lose this crucial match again.

He'd be furious.

"I'll elbow you later," Qin Ming thought viciously, rubbing his right elbow.

The referee stopped the argument between the two.

However, the nature of the competition changed, and as time went on, the intensity of the competition increased dramatically.

The 73th minute of the game.

Arsenal made a substitution, replacing Debuchy with Gibbs, who had already received a yellow card.

Cazorla was also stepped on by Son Heung-min.

Don't be fooled by how honest Koreans seem; they can be quite cunning in real life.

And he's like Yue Buqun.

After stepping on your foot, I still have to fuss over you and ask if you're alright.

Cazorla couldn't continue and was replaced by Arteta.

Tottenham isn't doing much better.

When Dembele was showing off his footwork in midfield, Coquelin made a frontal collision that almost caused Dembele to lose his balance and do a somersault.

Yellow cards were no longer enough to stop the players from both sides.

“Olivier!”

When Qin Ming got past Dier on the wing, he sent a high ball into the air.

Giroud's eyes were only on the ball, ignoring the defender in front of him, and he jumped up and raised his left foot.

Whoosh! Alderweireld only felt a flash of cold light and quickly turned his head to avoid the oncoming kick.

Beep, beep, beep!

Oliver was nearly scared to death; that move was way too dangerous!

However, when Son Heung-min stepped on Cazorla, he didn't give the South Korean a red card. From a balance perspective, he also didn't give Giroud a red card.

"Sir, I was in a better position; he touched my foot with his head!"

Giroud felt he had been wronged beyond measure.

"You almost shot someone in the head and you still claim to have the advantage?"

Oliver pulled out his yellow card and wrote the number 12 on the back.

"Kung Fu Soccer!" Qin Ming clicked his tongue, thinking to himself that he was still young.

"Can you stop my kick, which represents twenty years of skill?" Qin Ming recalled a classic line and thought that anyone in the football world should be able to stop it.
"I feel like if we keep playing like this, the match is going to turn into a brawl!"

"Hey! Why did Kyle Walker fall to the ground? He looks like he's in a lot of pain. I wonder if he's faking it?"

Zhan Jun is well-versed in the story of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf".

But when he saw the slow-motion replay, Qin Ming raised his right elbow and swung it backward, which collided with Kyle Walker's ribs.

"With 8 minutes left in regular time, Tottenham make a substitution!"

"Onomah replaces Eriksen, Trippier replaces Kyle Walker, Pochettino still wants to get points!"

"But the game's rhythm has been completely disrupted by the constant fouls!"

"Neither side could mount an effective attack; the midfield had become a meat grinder!"

Zhan Jun's teeth ached from looking at it.

The North London derby reaching this level truly exemplifies what it means to be intense.

finally.

When the final whistle blew, the numbers on the scoreboard froze.

Arsenal 2-1 Tottenham Hotspur!
