Football: Starting from the Ronaldinho template

Chapter 225 2015 Ends! Mid-Season Champion! 2016 Begins! League and FA Cup!

On December 29, the first half of the Premier League season ended, with Arsenal still at the top of the standings, leading second-placed Manchester City by 3 points.

Leicester City is in third place, just four points behind Manchester City, followed by Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, Southampton, and West Ham United.

Just then, Chelsea dropped a bombshell: Mourinho was sacked.

the reason is simple.

Halfway through the season, Chelsea trailed Arsenal by more than 20 points and were only one point above the relegation zone.

This is Mourinho's second departure from Chelsea.

His second stint managing Chelsea lasted less than three years.

According to The Sun, Mourinho hid in the trunk of goalkeeper coach Lauro's SUV to avoid media attention, and had the club's player liaison officer go out first to attract reporters' attention before leaving himself.

"Will the 'Special One' be back at Manchester United?" Qin Ming muttered to himself after seeing the news.

He wasn't sure if, due to the butterfly effect he had instigated, things would still develop the way he remembered.

However, this matter has little to do with him.

As long as Arsenal remains unaffected.

"The Ballon d'Or ceremony is on the 12th, there's a league match on the 2nd, and the FA Cup match on the 9th. Playing football in England is really tiring."

Qin Ming glanced at the schedule and sighed.

During the Bundesliga winter break last season, he didn't really rest much, as he went to Australia early to prepare for the Asian Cup.

Even without national team matches this year, there's still no chance for a rest.

Tired.

When people are tired, they want to spend money to buy things. He walked to his garage and looked at the several sports cars displayed there, including a Bugatti Veyron, a new Porsche 911 Carrera, and a Lamborghini Huracan.

He purchased them all at internal prices after he got his driver's license.

The Volkswagen Group has done a pretty good job in this regard.

When he placed the order, the factory worked overtime to manufacture it ahead of schedule.

Moreover, the price is offered at the maximum discount possible.

"Let's go to Silverstone Circuit for some fun later." Qin Ming sometimes craves excitement.

The Mirror: 2015 is over, the first half of the Premier League season has ended, and a Chinese player has scored 19 goals, setting a new Premier League record! If he can maintain his current scoring rate, he has the potential to break the single-season record of 34 goals set by Andy Cole and Alan Shearer!
The Guardian: Manchester United and Chelsea's poor performances have left both clubs' management quite dissatisfied. Mourinho has already been sacked by the club, and how long can Van Gaal hold on?

The Sun: Arsenal in danger! Arsenal finished second at the halfway point of each of their six English top-flight league titles, but this season they are in first place, so they are unlikely to win the title!
Arsenal has become a hot topic in the world of football, rivaling Real Madrid and Barcelona in terms of discussion.

In Chinese football, however, it has dominated the sports world.

On CCTV's sports channel during the New Year's Eve program.

He Wei said, "Recently, there's a very popular term online called 'small but certain happiness,' which comes from Haruki Murakami's essays and means small but certain happiness."

"For Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger, Qin Ming's arrival is a great blessing, and the Gunners have also beaten Manchester City and Leicester City to win the Premier League mid-season title this season."

"When Wenger acquired Qin Ming for a record £9000 million in the summer of 2015, many people did not understand the decision, which was indeed very different from Wenger's previous cautious approach in the transfer market."

"But in the first half of the season, Qin Ming delivered a brilliant performance, scoring 19 goals in 19 league matches, just 11 goals away from Van Persie and Henry's club record of 30 goals. Keep in mind that there are still 19 rounds left in the Premier League."

"As for the Champions League, only Henry and Odion have scored more than 5 goals in a single season. Now we have to add Sanchez, and Qin Ming has already scored 4 goals."

After He Wei finished speaking, the screen flickered a few times and began playing a highlight reel of Qin Ming's goals.

Finally, there's a video of Wenger being interviewed by CCTV.

"I haven't seen many players like Qin yet, and I'm very lucky to have met him in my coaching career."

"Is he the best player in the Premier League? Look at his stats, those numbers will speak for themselves."

"Dennis Bergkamp? Using similarity to describe him is not quite accurate. Dennis is more of an organizer, while Qin is a penetrator."

"However, they all possess unimaginable talent."

"Finally, I wish Arsenal fans in China a Happy New Year."

Wenger even cupped his hands in a gesture of respect.

Then, Qin Ming and his teammates, all wearing red jerseys, sent their blessings to Chinese fans in a video.

Among them, the Kyrgyzstan speaks the most standard Mandarin.

His efforts to frequently seek out Qin Ming to correct his pronunciation were worthwhile.

"Speaking of Bergkamp, ​​I think Arsenal's reliance on Qin Ming now is obviously higher than their reliance on Bergkamp 18 years ago when they won the double."

"I think the Gunners can expect more than just a mid-season championship."

He Wei continued.

After the New Year's Day program ended, the sports forum was very popular.
-
This year must be the most promising year yet?
-
You say the same thing every year, always aiming for next season.
-
Arsenal might win the Premier League title, but it's unlikely they will.
-
What promises and pledges?
-
[Actually, the professor's rotation was quite good in the early part of the season. Even with injuries, it didn't affect the results. Qin Ming, Sanchez, and others persevered.]
-
Be careful in the second half of the season. There's an additional FA Cup competition, plus the EFL Cup, Champions League, and league title race. Fighting on four fronts will be exhausting.
-
[We definitely have to give up on a few. If you ask me, we should make a decision sooner rather than later. We should just throw away the FA Cup and the EFL Cup, since they're not very prestigious anyway.]
-
Don't throw away your thermos!
-
Let's see what we buy in the winter transfer window. At least we need a defensive midfielder, someone dark-skinned, strong, and capable of doing the dirty work.
-
Defensive midfielders are hard to find.
-
[I heard the Chinese Super League is going to start spending money; Teixeira, Jackson Martinez, Ramirez, and others are all reportedly coming.]
-
[Wu Lei is confirmed to be going to Augsburg, while Zhang Xizhe is going to Mainz. Many of our players are set to join the Bundesliga.]
-
【.】

Qin Ming's actions accelerated the financialization of the Chinese Super League and catalyzed the atmosphere surrounding Chinese football.

Everything is going in the right direction.

There have been no major transfer news breaking in the top five European leagues so far.

After spending New Year's Day with his parents in London, Qin Ming joined the team the next day to begin the second half of the season.

Premier League Round 20.

Arsenal vs. Newcastle United.

Emirates Stadium.

Crowds of people.

Newcastle United have been performing poorly this season, currently ranked one place above Chelsea and right in the relegation zone.

"Let's take a look at the historical records of both sides!"

“阿森纳近20次对阵纽卡斯尔仅负1场，其余19战取得14胜5平！”

“双方英超历史交锋43场，阿森纳24胜10平9负占据上风，其中主场15胜2平4负！”

"This is the 178th encounter between the two sides in history!"

"The match has begun, Arsenal kick off!"

Unaffected by the New Year's Eve celebrations, the Gunners remained in top form. As for Qin Ming, who spent New Year's Day, he didn't indulge in a feast, only eating a few glutinous rice balls.

Just two minutes into the game, Qin Ming got past Janmaat and then used his "bull tail" to get past Coloccini.

Cross!

Who knew that Giroud, who was unmarked, would head the ball over the bar?

"Mine!" The French hunk rubbed his hair, thinking that he hadn't used enough hairspray, making his header less accurate.

"Keep going, keep going!" Qin Ming didn't say anything.

Giroud's role in the team is that of a workhorse, so it's completely understandable that he makes occasional mistakes, especially since he passed the ball a bit too quickly just now.

It's really hard to handle.

Courtside.

Wenger nodded in satisfaction as he watched his players continue to apply pressure and not let their guard down despite being the mid-season champions.

It seems that the game against Southampton taught them a lesson.

That is to say, victory is never easy.

Even though they are top of the Premier League, they cannot let their guard down.

“This has been a very important emotional journey,” Wenger told Pat Rice.

"Indeed, I can sense the changes in them."

Pat Rice nodded.

He looked at Qin Ming, who was running actively, receiving the ball, passing it, and breaking through, and it was as if he saw the other Arsenal players, who were making smooth attacks around him.

This is the importance of a key figure. Like a lighthouse in the sea, when you are lost and confused, just seeing that light can bring you a lot of peace of mind.

The 27th minute of the game.

Sanchez made a series of breakthroughs, drawing the Newcastle defense's attention and delivering a long diagonal pass with his right foot.

"Your passing skills have improved." Qin Ming stopped the ball comfortably, controlled it with his thigh, and then took control, easily getting past Janmaat who was trying to steal the ball.

This time he didn't cross the ball to Giroud because there was space on the left side of the penalty area.

Cut inwards!

Bang! The inside of his right foot gripped the soccer ball, giving it enough friction to make it spin violently and soar into the air.

The sharp arc of the ball flew straight into the top right corner of the goal.

1-0!

His first goal of 2016 was a chip shot.

"Wuhu!" Qin Ming glanced at the system while sliding on his knees in the corner flag area.

really.

Yesterday it was 96% of the shots, now it's 97%.

Although it's only a 1% improvement, details such as feel and power generation allow him to perform even better.

I wonder what the effect would be if it reached 100%?
"I'll try to get the template integration to the highest level before the season ends," Qin Ming thought to himself.

The nearly 150 points he had accumulated had no use other than for routine injury treatment.

If the system enables new features, such as when the template integration rate reaches 75%.

What will it be like?
New templates, new skills, or can they be purchased with points?

Qin Ming thought it must be related to points.

"Your pinpoint shots are getting more and more perfect!" Cazorla said with a smile.

Premier League teams are now terrified whenever they see Qin Ming on either side of the penalty area.

However, Sanchez cannot be ignored, and once too many resources are invested, Qin Ming will arrive on the other side.

This tactic of stretching the flanks has caused headaches for major Premier League clubs.

Unless their own full-backs are exceptionally capable and can single-handedly contain Arsenal's wingers.

But where do so many excellent full-backs come from?

The 67th minute of the game.

After half a season of adjustment, Sanchez learned to cooperate, hitting a wall with Cazorla before finding Giroud.

Giroud acts as a pivot, backing down the ball to create space.

Sanchez surged into the penalty area and scored with a low shot from a tight angle.

2-0!

Arsenal, when they go all out, should have no problem beating a relegation-threatened team.

With their next match in seven days against another relegation-threatened team, Sunderland, their opponent is another relegation-threatened team.

Wenger didn't make any adjustments early on.

But Newcastle United took the initiative to put pressure on the Emirates Stadium, hoping to make a chance there.

The attack failed, and Arsenal launched a counter-attack.

Snap! Cazorla delivers a long pass, giving Giroud a chance to dive and head the ball.

3-0!

Arsenal has made things even worse for Newcastle United, who were already struggling financially.

McClaren, who just took office this season, held his head in his hands, thinking that he would probably be sacked soon.

When he saw Qin Ming, he sighed helplessly.

Why didn't he encounter players like this when he was coaching Wolfsburg in 2010?

Otherwise, he wouldn't have ended up changing teams eight times in seven years.

Back when he was Ferguson's assistant coach, he won three Premier League titles, one Champions League title, and one Intercontinental Cup title.

Beep-beep-beep!
Arsenal ultimately defeated Newcastle United 3-0, securing their first win of 2016.

"Why do I feel so relaxed today?" Qin Ming was still a little puzzled when he returned to the locker room.

"Isn't it better to relax?"

Giroud scored a goal and smiled very happily.

"It's just a bit strange. Maybe December was too tough, and I'm suddenly not used to this situation."

Qin Ming recalled his time playing against Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City, and Southampton.

Tsk tsk, it was indeed very difficult, both wins were by a single goal.

"You're about to have a tough time again. We play Liverpool the week after next, Chelsea at the end of the month, the Champions League in February, Benfica is waiting for us, the North London derby in March, April should be the easiest, but in May, the final Premier League match, our opponent is Manchester City."

Pat Rice said, looking through his schedule.

"Pat, what are the club's transfer plans? Can you tell me?"

Qin Ming wanted to hear something that would lift his spirits.

"Well, we definitely need to add a defensive midfielder, but I don't know the specifics."

Pat Rice wasn't very familiar with Arsenal scouts.

"Okay, hopefully a real hunk will come along." Qin Ming shrugged.

He didn't expect someone like Kanté; he just wanted someone like Kirkland, someone with sweeping ability.

After all, Arteta and Flamini are quite old.

The date was March 9nd.

FA Cup third round.

Arsenal host Sunderland at the Emirates Stadium.

“两队过去10场比赛交锋，阿森纳取得了7胜2平1负的好成绩，射入17球失球为7球。”

"However, their only defeat came in the FA Cup, where Arsenal were eliminated 2-0 by Sunderland at the Stadium of Light in February 2012."

"So today can be considered a revenge battle."

"Today, Cazorla and Sanchez are resting, while Qin Ming, Giroud, and Walcott will play, along with Gabriel, Gibbs, Chambers, and Iwobi."

"."

"Walcott was tripped in the penalty area, Arsenal are awarded a penalty!"

"Qin Minglai takes the penalty kick, runs in, and shoots!"

"He swung the ball decisively towards the left side of the goal, and Pickford had no time to react!"

Arsenal 1-0 Sunderland!

"."

"Here he comes! Bellerin has been very active lately, playing a one-two with Campbell, then crossing from the right byline, Ramsey sweeping the ball into the net!"

"In the 44th minute of the first half, Arsenal extended their lead!"

"."

"Match ended! Match ended! Arsenal 4-1 Sunderland, with goals from Qin Ming, Ramsey, Walcott, and Mertesacker. They advance to the fourth round of the FA Cup!"
