Football: Starting from the Ronaldinho template

Chapter 215 The Unspeakable Football Demon King Conquers Paris! Champions League Draw! League Progress! Golden Boy Award!
The European football scene was bustling late at night.

Since the Arsenal vs. PSG match was the last one in the Champions League group stage, the qualification spots were determined immediately after it ended.

There were no upsets.

Apart from those lucky teams that drew favorable draws, none of the other weaker teams advanced.

On a flight to London.

Qin Ming couldn't sleep either, so he lay in his chair playing on his phone.

The Times: The pride of English football! Arsenal secured three points at the Parc des Princes and overtook Paris Saint-Germain on goal difference to advance as group winners! Chinese player Qin Ming scored twice, captivating fans with his outstanding performance!
The Guardian: Before the match, many were pessimistic about Arsenal, predicting a defeat for the Gunners in Paris! But they achieved a brilliant victory through excellent tactical execution and outstanding individual and team adaptability! This also marks Arsenal's first time finishing first in their group in four years!

Kicker: Arsenal players and Qin Ming are under the spotlight, scrutinized with a magnifying glass. Any shortcomings are bombarded by the media. This behavior is essentially cyberbullying! Similar situations have never occurred with other young players!
The Sun: Arsenal's perfect night in Paris, Qin Ming's outstanding performance on the field, he dispelled online rumors and proved his worth at 90 million! Also, the Federal Reserve announced an interest rate hike, ending its zero-interest-rate policy!
Dongqiudi: Bonaparte is advancing rapidly, but he will never be able to enter Paris! But tonight, the football monster from China has taken over the Parc des Princes!
"."

Most media outlets in the world are opportunistic.

Even more shameless media outlets went so far as to kneel and apologize, and then began to lavish praise on the media.

Praise for killing?

Maybe it is, maybe it isn't.

They've thrown away all their integrity just for traffic.
-
[The unspeakable football devil is approaching Paris!]
-
[His Majesty the Supreme Emperor has arrived in his faithful Paris today!]
-
Why is everyone making Napoleon references?
-
The Sun is very similar to the old Proverbs newspaper; both started out using clickbait headlines, and we're just imitating them!
-
[By the way, when will the Champions League knockout stage draw be held?]
-
[December 14th, that's four days from now.]
-
Hopefully, Arsenal will get a good draw, and not be matched against strong teams like Juventus and Roma.
-
To be honest, Qin Ming's win rate against Serie A teams seems to be 100%?
-
Anyway, they eliminated all the Serie A teams last season.
-
Juventus is still very strong, I feel they're even stronger than PSG.

【.】

After reading the comment, Qin Ming touched his chin.
His nickname "King" means king, and he could barely be considered an emperor, so this joke is actually quite realistic.

In the future, will playing away games mean I've reached a place that truly belongs to me?

"Hehe!" Qin Ming found it quite interesting.

"Olivier, next time you come to Paris, show me around! I didn't get to do anything this time!"

He leaned out and spoke to Giroud next door.

Because there is a league match in three days, they cannot stay in Paris and need to go back early to prepare for the game.

Qin Ming is quite interested in Paris, the city of romance.

The Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral, and so on—the latter will be burned down in a few years. If you don't look at them now, you can only play Assassin's Creed.

"Sure! After this season ends, I'll take you all over France!"

Giroud is very magnanimous.

The next day.

In a newly published report, Gazzetta dello Sport stated that Arsenal's victory over PSG was due to Wenger's use of unfamiliar tactics; otherwise, Qin Ming would not have been able to score two goals. The report also expressed hope that the criteria for the European Golden Boy award would consider the impact of team strength on player performance.

What do you mean?
I don't want Qin Ming to win the European Golden Boy Award.

After all, in last season's Europa League, five Serie A teams advanced to the knockout stage, only to be eliminated one by one by Wolfsburg starting from the round of 16.

Is it a shame?

What a shame!

The entire Italian football community is ashamed of this.

Teams like Inter Milan, Roma, Napoli, and Fiorentina, who lost their matches, were often ridiculed by fans of other clubs.

Now the European Golden Boy award is to be given to the culprit.

Just thinking about it makes me feel terrible.

But what can Tuttosport do?
If they really pull some dirty trick and don't give it to Qin Ming, then there's no point in doing it anymore.

After all, anyone who understands football knows the significance of several honors combined, such as the Europa League title, the Bundesliga title, and the Europa League all-time Golden Boot award.

Moreover, Qin Ming broke the historical transfer fee record and scored 15 goals in the league and 4 goals in the Champions League in the first half of this season.

Can Martial compare?

Even if you double his stats, he still can't compare to Qin Ming.

So there's no need to even think about it.

If you just give out awards honestly and make the ceremony a bit extravagant, you can at least leave a good reputation.

Belmont Philippe, editor-in-chief of Tuttosport, received a call a few days ago from Holf, editor-in-chief of Kicker and a giant in the sports media industry.

In any case, whether it's openly or covertly, they're talking about Qin Ming.

And with Barnett's crazy moves, he's finally figured it out: Bale can only be a supporting player at Real Madrid, and it'll be difficult for him to steal Ronaldo's thunder.

Furthermore, Bale is very introverted and doesn't talk much in the team. His favorite thing to do is play golf.

Can someone without ambition rise to power?
It's hard.

Barnett adjusted resource allocation and began to focus all his efforts on promoting Qin Ming.

Why did those media outlets smear Qin Ming before?

Part of the reason is Barnett; England's agents are too ruthless, stealing the spotlight from other players.

But Barnett thought it was good too.

Regardless of whether the traffic is legitimate or illegitimate, as long as Qin Ming can deliver results, it will eventually translate into profit.

The London Daily News: It is reported that several Arsenal players suffered injuries after the match against Paris Saint-Germain. In addition to Wilshere, Rosicky, Welbeck and others who were already injured, Koscielny pulled a thigh muscle and limped after the match, looking very painful!
Kearney Training Base.

The office was filled with smoke. Wenger glanced at the injury list, and the joy of just defeating Paris turned into worry.

The grueling schedule in December is only halfway through.

Two days later they play Aston Villa, on the 22nd they play Manchester City, on the 27th they play Southampton, and on the 29th they play Bournemouth.

Are players being forced to play?
Certainly not.

Then we can only rotate the players.

Moreover, Qin Ming's condition was not good either. Although he had a wound healing module, he could not eliminate his mental fatigue.

The intensity and pace of the Premier League are still too high.

"have a rest."

Wenger sighed.

Because after playing Aston Villa, they will not face Manchester City for another nine days.

If they start resting now, they can be in top form for the crucial match against Manchester City.

Moreover, a six-point game is definitely more important than a three-point game.

Therefore, in the 16th round of the Premier League two days later, Wenger replaced almost half of his key players.

Kirkland, Sanchez, Qin Ming, and others did not appear.

Aston Villa are currently ranked 20th in the standings, which is last place, so their strength can only be described as average.

"Has Wenger been possessed by Mourinho and parked a bus in front of the goal?"

"The match was ugly!"

Aston Villa's on-site commentator, Keller Zion, mocked.

But no matter how much he talks, he can't change the fact that Villa's attacking intensity is limited and they can't break through the defensive wall composed of substitute players.

Moreover, Walcott was positioned up front, putting a lot of defensive pressure on Villa.

Because the tiger cub is very fast.

Ultimately, the two teams played to a 0-0 draw, with Arsenal taking one point.

Wenger was quite satisfied with the result.

Before losing to Norwich, Arsenal were 3 points ahead of Manchester City, but in the 14th round of the Premier League, Manchester City and Liverpool drew.

The point difference between the two teams then becomes 2 points.

Arsenal have only managed 1 point, while Manchester City beat Swansea 2-0, bringing the two teams to the same point total.

Manchester City had won by four or five goals in their previous matches, and even though they performed poorly at the beginning of the season, their goal difference was still higher.

"Three more than us?" Qin Ming thought to himself, "That guy in prison is really something. With the striker being the happy Sterling, he still managed to create so many goals for Manchester City. Impressive."

"Number 22 must beat Manchester City!" He slammed his hand on the table, startling Sanchez.

Since there were no matches for the next nine days, Qin Ming went to Switzerland with Wenger to attend the Champions League knockout stage draw ceremony.

As for the other teammates, they can rest and recuperate at the training base.

Get well soon from your injury and give it your all against Manchester City.

Nyon, Switzerland.

It's an unremarkable town, but its dock offers boat rides to the flower-filled town of Ivar across the water.

Therefore, there are also many tourists.

"Messi and Ronaldo aren't coming, so the draw ceremony isn't generating much buzz." Qin Ming didn't go with Wenger; instead, he strolled around the town.

He wasn't there to participate in the lottery ceremony either.

travel.

I've been under a lot of mental strain lately in preparation for the match against Paris Saint-Germain.

It's time to relax.

It was because Dee was in the US for an event that he felt a little lonely at night.

Strolling along the shores of Lake Geneva, gazing at the shimmering surface and breathing in the fresh air.

"That feels good." Qin Ming was thinking that after he retired, he would buy a few properties in the Alps and lakes to live out his retirement.

"I've heard that Lake Como in Milan is quite nice, and many celebrities have bought houses there."

Qin Ming still remembers the scene when he traveled to Italy in the summer.

The houses are just too expensive. George Clooney's villa, which he bought in 2002, cost him nearly 1200 million euros.

It will definitely multiply many times over now.

However, if you don't buy a villa or estate, buying an apartment or a regular villa shouldn't be too expensive.

But if you're going to buy something, you should definitely buy a good one.

"We still need to make money," Qin Ming sighed.

By the time he arrived at UEFA headquarters by train from the town, the draw ceremony had already ended.

The draw was done by Javier Zanetti, the ambassador for the Champions League finals.

Arsenal have been drawn against Benfica.

The latter is a powerhouse in the Portuguese league and the second club in history to win the Champions League. Their seven appearances in the Champions League final are second only to Real Madrid, AC Milan, Liverpool, Bayern Munich, Barcelona, ​​and Juventus.

But these are all outdated.

Benfica is now a European black market, nurturing young, talented players and then selling them to teams in the top five leagues for high prices.

Overall, their strength is neither particularly strong nor weak.

"The draw results were pretty good." Wenger's smile indicated that he was in a good mood.

"I think it's fine too."

Qin Ming opened FotMob, found the Benfica match, and saw the lineup of Ruben Diaz, Lindelof, and Ederson.

"You don't even know anything about Benfica?"

Wenger was surprised.

“He is my rival for the Golden Boy award,” Qin Ming said, pointing to Ruben Diaz’s portrait.

"You have no competitors."

Wenger was joking.

Qin Ming then laughed and said, "That's what I think too."

Apart from Arsenal and Benfica.

The remaining draw results are: Atletico Madrid vs. PSV Eindhoven, Real Madrid vs. Roma, Barcelona vs. Gent, Chelsea vs. Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City vs. Dynamo Kyiv, Bayern Munich vs. Juventus, and Wolfsburg vs. Zenit St. Petersburg.

A total of 16 teams.

而1/8决赛首回合将于明年2月16/17日和23/24日举行。

After relaxing in Nyon, Switzerland, Qin Ming returned to London.

Training, training, and more training.

During this period, a contract was signed with Puma. When it came to choosing a brand name, Qin Ming hesitated for a few days before finally choosing "King".

He thought the nickname Wolfsburg fans had given him was pretty good.

And I've gotten used to calling it that.

“There will be a new product launch after Christmas,” Barnett said.

"I know."

Qin Ming nodded, "With Rihanna and the others."

"This is a great publicity opportunity, but first we need to go to Turin to receive your Golden Boy award."

Barnett brought his private jet with him.

2015 12 Month 19 Day.

Turin, Italy.

"Golden Boy Award! Selected by football journalists from various European countries, the evaluation period is one calendar year, and the winner must be a player under the age of 21 and must play in a European league."

"The media outlets participating in the awards include authoritative media from various countries such as Bild, L'Équipe, France Football, Marca, Mundo Deportivo, and The Times!"

"It's practically the Golden Globe for those under 21!"

The entire event will be broadcast live on CCTV5 Sports Channel.

He Wei is the host.

"Last season, Wolfsburg defeated Sevilla to win the Europa League title and broke Bayern Munich's monopoly in the Bundesliga!"

"Our players have broken many records, including the all-time leading scorer in the Europa League and the youngest player to score a hat-trick!"

"We saw him at the event, while Martial and others were absent from the awards ceremony!"

He Wei did not see any other players.

He can understand.

Because nobody wants to be just a background figure.

The Golden Boy Award was established in 2003 and is now in its 12th year! The first recipient of this award was Rafael van der Vaart!

"Later, Rooney, Messi, Fabregas, Aguero and others also received this award, and they went from being rising stars to superstars!"

"But in recent years, Golden Boy winners such as Pato, Balotelli, and Götze have been given the script of a fallen genius!"

"Alright, the awards ceremony has begun. We see famous players such as Maldini and Zanetti, famous coaches such as Wenger and Allegri, and Turin Mayor Piero Facino in attendance!"

Even though He Wei already knew the result, he still couldn't help but feel excited.

in the lens.

Maldini opened the envelope in his hand, glanced at Qin Ming in the audience, and said, "The winner of the 2015 Golden Boy Award is Qin Ming of Arsenal Football Club!"

Golden Boy!

At the top of the screen behind him are two words, and below them are Qin Ming's various statistics and the honors he has received.
