Chapter 211 Premier League Round 15 Match Against Sunderland! Arsenal Defeat the Black Cats! Heading to Paris!

12 month 2 day.

The EFL Cup quarter-finals have begun.

Arsenal defeated Stoke City 3-0 thanks to goals from Qin Ming and Sanchez, advancing to the semi-finals.

12 month 5 day.

The 15th round of the Premier League has begun.

Arsenal vs. Sunderland.

“阿森纳近11次联赛对阵桑德兰取得7胜4平。双方英超联赛历史交锋28场，阿森纳16胜9平3负占据上风，主场9胜5平保持不败。”

"Sunderland's last away win against Arsenal was in the EFL Cup in November 2002, and their last away league win dates back to 1983."

"However, Arsenal just lost to Norwich in the last round, so I wonder how they'll be in form today?"

"The match has begun."

The Emirates Stadium was bustling with activity.

Qin Ming received Arteta's pass and suddenly felt a little unaccustomed to it.

Due to the packed schedule in November, coupled with the tough match against Tottenham, Cazorla has not yet fully recovered from his injury.

Sanchez also suffered a muscle strain after scoring his hat-trick.

Therefore, Arsenal's attacking lineup became Giroud, Qin Ming, Arteta, and Walcott.

Two key members are absent.

Arsenal fans can only hope that Qin Ming can deliver a decisive blow to Arsenal.

"Sunderland's defense is very well-organized!"

"They recently changed head coaches, and Allardyce has led the team to three wins in the last six league games, exactly the same number of wins in the last 17 games when Advocaat was in charge!"

"Furthermore, Sunderland have now won two consecutive league matches. Their last three-match winning streak in the Premier League was during their miraculous survival run in May of last season!"

Zhan Jun sounded a little worried as he spoke.

He was afraid that Qin Ming would be targeted again and unable to perform at his best.

The early stages of the competition were indeed quite boring.

"Everyone come and defend me!" Qin Ming ran calmly and deliberately dropped back to receive the ball, but the Sunderland full-back closed in.

What do you mean?
It's obvious that wherever you go, I'll go!
Using his elbow to separate Yedlin, Qin Ming turned with his back to the goal and executed an L-shaped backheel pass, breaking free between Yedlin and Watmore.

"WOW!" The Arsenal fans had just exclaimed when they saw the ball being passed diagonally.

Right flank!
Walcott isn't as fast as before, but he's still enough to handle Van Aanholt.

His somewhat rough technique resulted in a slightly large stop on the ball.

However, due to the limited defensive resources on the same side of Sunderland's defense, it takes time for another defender to cover.

Walcott could then deliver a powerful stab before Kaboul arrives.

Keep the trains running at full capacity!

When the ball reaches the baseline, pass it in an inverted triangle shape towards the top of the arc!
"Let it through!" Giroud heard it clearly and let the ball through without the slightest hesitation.

This action caused O'Shea's attempt to cut off the opponent from the side to miss.

Qin Ming, carrying Yedlin, unleashed a precise shot!
Unfortunately, former Manchester City goalkeeper Pantilimon reacted quickly and pulled the ball up over the crossbar.

"Again!" Qin Ming felt no discouragement; on the contrary, he felt he was in good form.

Norwich has provided a standard answer for Premier League teams.

How to prevent?
Close-quarters defense, absolute restriction!
But he's not a robot who can only play football according to a program; he can also make changes.

The simplest way is to use the opponent's attention to create space for your teammates.

Furthermore, he can continuously create long and short passing opportunities with his excellent footwork.

Allardyce quickly realized something was wrong.

Qin Ming stopped wandering the side lanes and started moving more frequently towards the middle.

This caused Sunderland's overall formation to tuck in.

The space on both sides of the road has increased.

"Nacho!" Qin Ming crossed his legs and, without stopping the ball, volleyed Ramsey's pass to the left wing.

Monreal is the best full-back since Ashley Cole, and has been the best since the Wenger era.

Due to his speed and delicate footwork, and being a Spanish player after all, his crosses were of very high quality.

However, because Qin Ming's offense is too strong, he has been camping out in the trenches to defend recently.

But that doesn't mean he needs to attack.

He can't keep up.

Whoosh! Monreal received the ball, made a slight adjustment, changed his rhythm to get past Coates, stopped abruptly on the left side of the penalty area, switched to his right foot, and curled a shot towards the far post of the penalty area.

Giroud drew defenders to the penalty spot, causing O'Shea and others to misjudge their headers.

Walcott quickly moved in and fired a shot.

Bang! It's hard to react to a shot from close range, and Pantilimon just waved his hand, making a symbolic save gesture.

1-0! ! !

"Yeah!" The Arsenal fans' worries dissipated with the cold wind, and they raised their hands to cheer and celebrate the goal.

Walcott was also overjoyed.

He once wanted the second-highest salary on the team, as well as the starting center position.

Wenger told him very clearly that it was impossible.

Now, his Arsenal career may be nearing its end, because he knows his own technical characteristics and cannot be a supporting player for Qin Ming.

However, he also hopes that the final season can be more successful.

After scoring, the Arsenal players ran in front of the camera, lined up, and gestured a few numbers.

These are the numbers of Arsenal's injured players.

They wanted to use this goal to wish their opponent a speedy recovery.

Courtside.

Wenger breathed a sigh of relief, as he was afraid the game would become a stalemate and repeat Norwich's mistake.

Now that we're in the lead, it's much easier to play.

At least there are more tactics to choose from, such as counter-attacking or midfield passing and control, and the opponent will also expose more weaknesses.

the other side.

Allardyce, a renowned Premier League relegation expert, is similar to Dieter Hecking.

He is very good at coaching defense.

But in terms of offense, without Wolfsburg's twin stars, his offensive tactics are limited to flanking maneuvers, high-altitude bombing, and so on.

However, after the game restarted, Arsenal quickly capitalized on Sunderland's mistake and regained possession through multi-man pressing and counter-pressing.

Then they started passing and controlling the ball.

"Hoo!" Qin Ming was wearing a long jersey and two black gloves today, and his breath turned into white mist.

Once he got into the zone, he thought to himself, and his movements became even faster. He stepped on the ball with his right foot, turned around, and pulled it back.

Marseille turn.

This time, Sunderland learned their lesson, and the two couldn't stop the three from coming.

Arteta saw M'Vila lunge forward, "Watch out!"

His voice reached Qin Ming's ears, and Qin Ming had a flash of inspiration. He flicked the ball with his right foot as he was about to finish his spin and sent it out.

The unconventional pass caught M'Vila off guard.

"Arsenal retrieved the ball from midfield, Arteta played a through ball to Giroud, and Giroud laid it off to Walcott!"

"Dribble into the penalty area, then sweep the pass to the middle!"

"Giroud gets on the end of the cross! Goal! Goal!"

"2-0!!!"

Zhan Jun shouted excitedly.

Arsenal, who are in the lead, play very well and know how to pass and control the ball to force their opponents to make mistakes.

Moreover, Sunderland is betting on their ability to intercept Qin Ming's pass.

The results of it?
Can't get it.

This means that as soon as the ball is passed out, Sunderland's midfield defense collapses instantly.

"Arsenal!" The passion at the Emirates Stadium melted away the winter chill.

Giroud grinned as he celebrated after scoring.

He played really comfortably today. When Sunderland focused their defense on Qin Ming, he received fewer defensive resources.

This was no easy goal.

If all opponents play like this in the future, wouldn't he be able to win the Golden Boot?
"From now on, Premier League teams will know that if they want to win, they can't play like this, otherwise they'll just be slowly worn down." Wenger said with a warm expression, his hands in his pockets.

If Arsenal were a small team with other players who were simply terrible, then this targeted tactic would be very effective.

But whether it's Giroud, Sanchez, or Walcott, they all still have the ability to score goals.

"With a two-goal lead, we should stabilize the tempo first, look for opportunities to make substitutions in the second half, and fight with all our might against PSG to try and qualify as group winners." Wenger glanced at the electronic scoreboard.

Once Arsenal has seized control of the game, they have no intention of giving it back.

76nd minute of the second half.

Arsenal broke through on the right flank, with Bellerin and Walcott, two speedsters, launching several consecutive attacks.

Even if Sunderland allocates defensive resources, it won't be enough.

When Bellerin delivered a cross, Giroud headed it into the net.

3-0! ! !

Victory is decided!

Wenger substituted Qin Ming first, and then brought on a defensive player after 80 minutes, denying Sunderland any scoring opportunities.

Beep-beep-beep!
Arsenal ultimately defeated Sunderland 3-0 at home, with Giroud scoring twice and Walcott adding another goal.

Qin Ming got nothing.

However, he wasn't too concerned, as he was still leading the scoring charts.

Moreover, today's game taught those teams that if they want to limit me, they should be prepared to have their other positions completely dominated.

After the game.

During a media interview, Giroud was sweating profusely and was also very excited.

He demonstrated his qigong skills right in front of the camera.

He was smoking all over.

Qin Ming and his teammates were laughing hysterically.

He decided to post this on Twitter tomorrow to guarantee it would attract more traffic.

Giroud, unaware of the impending outcome, humbly stated while holding the MVP trophy that he couldn't have scored twice without his teammates' help.

at the post-match press conference.

"Santi and the others' injuries are not serious and they can play in the Champions League group stage match on the 5th. Of course, they still need to undergo examinations to confirm that their injuries have healed."

"Today? Today's game proved a lot; we are not as bad as the media says."

Wenger has been criticized for twenty years, and he's long since gotten used to it.

He was too lazy to engage in verbal sparring with the media and generate buzz like Mourinho did, and his scholarly nature also prevented him from putting aside his pride.

"Qin has gone two games without scoring?"

When Wenger heard the reporter's question, he almost burst out laughing. "When did a goal drought become so cheap? Two games without scoring can be used as a term?"

"If you had actually watched the game, you would know his contribution to the victory. Without him holding Sunderland's defense back, the goal wouldn't have come so easily."

In fact, Qin Ming, like Arsenal, is surrounded by a huge amount of attention at this stage.

Then his every move will be scrutinized under a magnifying glass.

Just like Messi and Ronaldo.

Qin Ming was used to this, and besides, the influence of public opinion on him was negligible.

In the following days of training.

He glanced at the system interface when he had a moment.

[Host: Qin Ming]

【.】

Proficiency in various skills has steadily improved, and template integration has also progressed.

He really wants a championship right now.

If there's an Asian Cup next January, it would be great to have a template fusion bonus that raises it to 100%.

"I have so many points I can't possibly spend them all!" Qin Ming exclaimed.

He then adjusted the training plan, still focusing on functional training, while increasing the proportion of volley shots in ball training.

The training also includes set pieces, which are not limited to chip shots, but also include left-footed, right-footed, and volley shots, etc.

However, he hasn't mastered the techniques of the drop shot and the elevator shot yet.

But if we only consider the skill level of his finesse shot, he would definitely rank in the top three among active footballers.

As for who is number one, opinions vary, and there is no definitive answer.

12 month 4 day.

Qin Ming and his teammates boarded a flight to Paris.

The final matches of the Champions League group stage are about to begin.

Paris is cold in winter, and the gloomy, smoggy weather makes it feel like a frozen layer of ice on the sea, blocking out the distant, warm sunlight.

gristre.

This is a French word specifically used to describe this kind of gloomy state.

There was no time for sightseeing in Paris. After the first day of scouting, I returned to the hotel for my daily training to keep my body in good shape.

the next day.

The City of Lights in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, near Porte Saint-Cluck.

There is a magnificent building.

The Princes Park stadium.

Many French flags can be seen around, a tribute to the victims of the terrorist attacks.

But there wasn't a sad atmosphere today.

Even the most difficult things will pass; one must always learn to look forward.

Paris Saint-Germain fans wandered the streets.

“ICI C'EST PARIS!”

This is Paris!
Paris fans are confident they will beat Arsenal at home and advance as group winners.

Some even shouted slogans such as "Ligue 1 is better than the Premier League", "The £90 million man is a flop" and "Di Maria is stronger than Qin Ming".

The Arsenal fans who had traveled a long way didn't make a sound.

They silently walked towards the stadium entrance, conducting a security check that was as meticulous as could be.

After all, they were a little unsure of themselves.

However, the Arsenal players sitting on the bus had a different opinion.

"Who says we're bound to lose? All our key players are back from injury, and I'm in top form today, my instep is even a little hot."

Qin Ming muttered as he ate a banana.

A few days ago, he read a post on a popular football forum and found that fans were saying, "Ibrahimovic + Cavani + Di Maria = two kings with four 2s."

Are there any bigger brands?

No.

But he, Giroud, Sanchez, and Cazorla together are definitely not bad.

Qin Ming has this confidence.

"Qin is right. Don't put too much pressure on us. We need to use our footwork and create more set pieces when we have the ball."

Wenger's calm voice echoed through the bus.

Some time ago, after talking with Perrin, he remembered the Chinese team's tactics.

Since Qin Ming's set-piece technique is excellent.

Why not use it?
"Too much focus on passing the ball." Wenger is a self-reflective person.

So they've been practicing a lot lately, including how to arrange the human wall, which area to focus on for setting up positions, and how to use multiple players to deceive opponents.

Anyway, a lot of effort was put in.

Now we'll see if we can pull this off against PSG.

After the pre-match preparations were completed.

It got dark early in Paris, and although there was no rain or snow, the temperature was very low.

Around 3℃.
