Football: Starting from the Ronaldinho template

Chapter 212: Gasps from the Parc des Princes stadium pierced the Parisian night! A blitzkrieg in Paris!
In the players' tunnel.

Qin Ming and Ibrahimovic greeted each other. After the Champions League group stage match, the two exchanged contact information. Although they hadn't chatted much, they felt they were compatible.

Are they all arrogant?
"Two games without a goal?" Verratti was an idiot.

His idol is Messi, and Qin Ming's popularity has skyrocketed, with his number of fans on various platforms almost approaching that of Messi.

He was a little annoyed.

Because Qin Ming doesn't have any particularly impressive honors.

They barely qualify as Bundesliga champions.

Qin Ming ignored him after hearing this. He had offended many people, and many people disliked him.

I don't have the energy to argue with them.

Let's see who comes out on the field.

Of course, if Verratti really wants to cause trouble, then give him a good elbow to teach him a lesson.

The players from both sides did not interact much.

Wenger and Blanc seemed to be having a good chat, as both are French coaches.

Moreover, the latter spent the later part of his career at Manchester United, winning the Premier League title with the team in 2003.

Wenger was Arsenal manager at the time.

Unexpectedly, more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Blanco has become a coach.

See you after the game.

Wenger laughed.

He also recalled the summer of 2004 when Santini's French team suffered a crushing defeat in the European Championship.

Blanco, Tigana, and Domenech have been selected as the new head coach.

After repeated discussions, French Football Federation officials first eliminated Tigana, who has dark skin, and then dropped Blanc, who has no coaching experience.

Ultimately, they chose Domenech, who seemed to be the most suitable candidate.

Years later, Wenger realized that the French Football Federation's decision at the time had caused incalculable damage to French football over the next six years.

It's important to know that Blanco had a great personal charm.

At the time, Zidane was undecided about whether to stay with the national team after the 2004 European Championship.

The decision of whether he stays with the team rests with the head coach.

As a result, Zidane retired from the national team after Domenech took over.

Domenech's year in charge of the team has been incredibly difficult.

In the end, Zidane and others returned, sidelined him, secured a World Cup ticket, and then lost the final due to poor management.

But this also extended his life by four years.

French football has been ruined for another four years.

"See you after the match, Mr. Wenger," Blanco replied with a smile.

He admires Wenger.

He not only went to England alone and pioneered a new football philosophy, but also coached Arsenal for twenty years.

This kind of person deserves respect.

Shortly after, the players from both sides walked out of the tunnel, and an exciting melody began to play.

A giant Champions League logo danced in the hands of staff members in the stadium.

"I get excited every time I hear the Champions League theme song, just like when I hear Gonna Fly Now," Qin Ming thought to himself as he stood in the queue.

He recently watched the movie "Rocky" many times because one line in it stuck with him.

Every champion was once a contender that refused to give up!

Every champion was once a challenger who refused to give up.

And he is now the challenger.

Although we don't know if we can win the championship, what we must do is refuse to give up.

Just do it!

Wenger doesn't like to motivate his players, so Qin Ming motivates himself.

The effect was quite good. He looked up at the stands on all sides, where more than 40,000 fans in black and red seemed to form a crouching behemoth, gradually awakening under the Parisian night sky.

"Good evening, viewers!"

"We are now broadcasting live the 6th round of the 2015-16 UEFA Champions League Group A!"

Paris Saint-Germain host Arsenal!

"Here are the starting lineups for both sides!"

"The team wearing black and red jerseys is Paris Saint-Germain. Blanc has opted for a 4-3-3 formation, their strongest lineup. Goalkeeper:..."

"Recently, PSG has been making great strides in the league. Their attacking trident has quickly gelled and developed good chemistry, and their midfield has also been very stable!"

An article published by L'Equipe recently suggested that Paris Saint-Germain has a very good chance of winning the Champions League this season!

"Let's take a look at Arsenal's starting lineup. Wenger still opted for a 4-2-3-1 formation. Cazorla, Bellerin, and others have recovered from their injuries, and the goalkeeper..."

"Ever since Arsenal's winning streak in the league and their loss to PSG in the Champions League, they have become a thorn in the side of the media. The loss to Norwich a while ago was too embarrassing to even talk about. Traffic is a double-edged sword."

"I wonder if the Gunners can withstand the pressure and pull off a dramatic comeback in the standings at the Parc des Princes?"

Zhan Jun had never realized before that Arsenal was so hated.
-
Isn't this the same lineup as before?
-
Can we win without making adjustments? We'll probably lose again. It's better to give up early, aim for second place in the group, and focus all our efforts on the Christmas schedule.
-
What if we finish second in our group and then face Bayern Munich, Barcelona, ​​or Real Madrid in the knockout stage?
-
[Then it'll be the round of 16.]
-
Therefore, we still need to strive for first place in the group and try to avoid those strong teams.
-
I think Arsenal has made significant progress compared to October, although their record isn't as impressive. Considering the numerous injuries they've suffered in the past two months, it's already quite an achievement that they haven't fallen off the top of the table.
-
Today's match shouldn't be too intense; PSG will definitely want to secure a draw to avoid making mistakes due to overly aggressive play.
-
It all comes down to who makes the first mistake.
-
【.】

The Princes Park stadium.

Beep! ! !
The match began with the whistle, and Paris Saint-Germain had the right to kick off.

Ibrahimovic passed the ball across to Di Maria, who then passed it back to Verratti, and the two began passing the ball around.

What about Arsenal?

They opted for the same tactic as before: pressing!

However, instead of a mirror defense, they focused on pressing the opponent forward, with Qin Ming, Cazorla, and Sanchez serving as the benchmark.

"Force them to the side road!"

Qin Ming made a gesture and took the initiative to approach Aurier.

The latter didn't dare to hold the ball for long and quickly passed it to Verratti.

Before the Italian diminutive striker could even get the ball, Coquelin rushed up and blocked his way, preventing him from turning and passing.

At the same time, Cazorla blocked Motta's path, cutting off the passing lane towards the middle.

Five midfielders surrounded and attacked three midfielders.

This is the start Wenger wanted. Now that the basic foundation has been laid, it's just a matter of whether they can win possession.

Verratti does have some skills.

After struggling to control the ball, he tried to find Matuidi on the far side.

Ramsey has already pushed forward.

During the entanglement, Sanchez attacked from behind and hooked the ball back from between Matuidi's legs.

"Speed ​​up!"

Without Qin Ming's prompting, Sanchez accelerated and cut inside towards the middle lane.

"Why not go down the wing? There's enough space on the flanks to try crossing!"

This is Zhan Jun's question.

But Sanchez's goal is clear: to challenge David Luiz, the Brazilian with the afro and an aggressive playing style.

Therefore, Arsenal's set-piece tactics are specifically designed to target him.

"Don't stick your foot out!" Thiago Silva sensed a conspiracy.

But David Luiz instinctively stretched out his foot towards Sanchez, who quickly changed direction to the right.

pat!

The ball went past the player but not past him.

A typical defensive foul.

The referee did not hesitate and awarded a free kick to the attacking team, but did not show a yellow card.

This relieved Blanco.

"Follow the training?"

"Cazorla asked in a low voice."

“Okay, I’ll stand on the left, you stand on the right, I’ll kick directly.” Qin Ming nodded.

He silently assessed the distance; it was just right, neither too far nor too close.

Sanchez chose a perfect spot to fall. "Arsenal's number 10 has a 72% chance of hitting the top left corner when he's standing on the left, an 18% chance of hitting the top right corner, and the rest are tactical set pieces."

Trapp recalled the data provided by the coaching staff.

Then I need to focus on defending the top left corner. After he adjusted the position of the wall, he moved a few steps to my right.

Qin Ming kept a close eye on the Paris team's movements.

He then looked through the wall of people to the upper left corner, giving his opponent a clear signal.

David Lewis's hand, behind his back, points in the direction of Trapp Station.

He felt he had seen through Qin Ming.

Beep! ! !
After the referee blew his whistle.

Qin Ming exhaled a puff of white mist, and in the Parisian night breeze, he took a running start, swung his arm, and shot!
He chose the finesse shot that he was best at!
boom!
The beautiful arc of his foot spinning out from the inside resembled the scythe of death, bypassing the wall of Paris team members.

The top left corner wasn't kicked!

He never intended to be taller than the human wall; he intended to use the human wall as a shield!
German goalkeeper Trapp was startled and quickly moved to his side to dive.

But he was too close to the left goalpost earlier, and it took him too long to move to the right goalpost.

Swish! The football, 10cm from his hands, spun and flew into the Paris goal.

0-1! ! !

As the electronic scoreboard ticked, Arsenal fans in the away stand erupted in a wave of red and white.

The gasps from the Parc des Princes stadium pierced the Parisian night sky.

Beneath the gray sky, gunmen reveled.

After scoring, Qin Ming raised his hands, ran to the corner flag, and gently shook his index finger.

This move was concise and powerful, full of provocation and confidence.

I am still strong!
This is his way of declaring war on the media, using Ronaldo's own methods.

"Come on!" After celebrating, he pumped his fist and slapped the team logo hard.

"That was a great free kick!"

"The curve is completely rounded, it can bypass the wall of people, and it's very fast!"

"Magic Right Foot!"

"We have the same goal difference now, and if we can maintain that until the end, we'll be first in the group!"

Arsenal players celebrated with great joy.

"There won't be just one goal in this match!" Qin Ming said confidently.

He felt that given Paris Saint-Germain's pride, they would not accept second place in the group and would definitely choose to fight to the end.

Let's see who gets in more.

Each heartbeat of Qin Ming brought a sense of power.

He still needed to play against strong teams to really enjoy himself. He glanced at the noisy stadium and looked towards the Paris Saint-Germain goal from afar.

"A modern-day Battle of Agincourt!!!"

Arsenal fans in the stands were still celebrating.

What do you mean?
In 1415, more than 5,000 English archers defeated a French army of more than 30,000.

"Joan of Arc beat you all to a pulp!"

"Napoleon swept across the European continent, and you had no chance to fight back!"

"."

French fans also started mocking them.

The two teams' fans continued to hurl insults, and some even threw punches at each other. The camera quickly returned to the field.

The Paris Saint-Germain players were still a bit confused.

Only 12 minutes into the game, they were looking for an opportunity to attack when Arsenal scored.

Blitzkrieg?

This was a situation they had never imagined, but they are, after all, a French Ligue 1 powerhouse, and their players have very strong mental fortitude.

"Since we're already behind, there's no need to play it safe, let's attack!" Ibrahimovic's eyes seemed to hold the power of a lion.

He's never been a player who likes to play defense.

Moreover, seeing Qin Ming perform so well, his competitive spirit was also aroused.

"Damn it! They stole one! We'll tie the score later and make them realize reality!"

Verratti was cursing and swearing.

Matuidi was very apologetic, saying that if he hadn't lost the ball, there wouldn't have been a free kick.

The PSG players quickly adjusted.

The game continues!

"Move the forwards back to reduce the distance between the two lines and fight them in midfield!"

Blanco, standing on the sidelines, was not as disappointed as he had imagined.

Coaches who have had a illustrious playing career generally have a strong capacity for endurance.

For example, Blanc, Zidane, Guardiola, and so on.

They understand how quickly the game can change.

"The defense should move forward and avoid creating an offside line, as they will have no one pushing forward!"

Wenger stood in the command area wearing a bulky down jacket.

Both coaches are fine-tuning their tactics to better suit the current situation.

Once Paris Saint-Germain goes all out, their intensity will undoubtedly be at its peak.

Arsenal's different formation compared to the first game allowed them to have an extra player in midfield, turning their numerical advantage into a spatial advantage.

"Ibrahimovic and Di Maria have both dropped back to participate in the midfield transitions!"

"Matuidi's physicality allows Cavani to remain in the attacking third as a counter-attacking threat!"

"Qin Ming's pass was slightly off, intercepted by Thiago Silva, and the Brazilian center-back launched a long pass!"

Those who have partnered with Nesta generally possess well-rounded skills.

Thiago Silva's long pass landed precisely in front of Cavani, and the Uruguayan striker began to accelerate with the ball.

Bellerin chased back very quickly.

However, Cavani has developed excellent footwork skills after years of experience in Serie A.

Stop abruptly and flick the ball towards the center.

He brushed past Mertesacker and went one-on-one with Cech!
"WOW!" Paris fans' hearts pounded and their hands trembled with excitement, hoping the electronic scoreboard would start ticking again.

Cech's icy gaze was so cold that it revealed no flaws.

This is the Czech goalkeeper who has weathered countless storms.

As the epitome of joyful football, Cavani hesitated a bit in front of the goal.

Hesitation will lead to defeat.

When Cavani hastily took a shot, Cech had already made the save, and his figure in the shot was very imposing.

Snap! The football was flicked by his fingertips, grazing the goalpost and rolling out of bounds.

"Peter! Beautiful!" Qin Ming exhaled a deep breath and almost jumped up in celebration.

Such a save is truly inspiring.

Arsenal players were also extremely excited.

But the PSG players were stunned, especially Thiago Silva, the Brazilian who held his head in disbelief.

They scored 99 out of 100, but the final push only brought them to 59.

It's better to have the ball stolen by the opponent.

This way, morale won't be damaged.

"What are you standing there for? Keep attacking!" If Ibrahimovic were a few years younger, he would have already started yelling.

He doesn't have a good temper.

When he went to Los Angeles Galaxy in the future, he said something like this: passing the ball to his teammates is useless, I can score goals myself.

Cavani ran back in embarrassment.

He felt it wasn't his fault; it was just that Cech was too calm and his eyes were so intimidating.
