Football: Starting from the Ronaldinho template

Chapter 228: A series of dribbles past multiple Liverpool players! A long-distance run across the entire stadium!
Liverpool have been pressing very aggressively lately!

"By shortening the distance between the three lines of defense and strengthening their connection, we can make high-pressing even more threatening!"

"Without Cazorla, Arsenal's ball distribution has become a problem!"

"Arsenal are now forced to defend in their own half!"

At Anfield Stadium, the cheers of Liverpool fans rose higher and higher, growing stronger and stronger just like the Liverpool players' offensive onslaught.

Even Giroud dropped back into the penalty area to act as a center-back during corner kick defense.

"Our tactic today is not possession but counter-attack," Wenger said calmly from the sidelines.

You need to adjust your strategy based on the cards you have.

This is after Arsenal went many years without winning the league title, Wenger changed his philosophy and compromised with reality.

"Last season, Wolfsburg's main tactic was counter-attacking. They would use De Bruyne's threatening passes to instantly transition the midfield and find Qin, who was making a quick forward run."

Wenger looked at the pitch through his glasses. "We definitely can't play like this. We need to let Qin use his individual skills to handle the midfield transition alone."

This style of play really tests a player's skill level.

But Wenger had no other choice but to resort to this tactic.

“Maybe it’s a good tactic,” Pat Rice had a different opinion.

During the live broadcast of the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, the moment he saw Kaka, he inexplicably thought of Qin Ming.

Do the two have anything in common?
It seems there isn't.

However, if we blur their technical characteristics, they are all potential offensive threats to the team.

As for the disadvantage in terms of speed...

This can be compensated for through technology.

Pat Rice was lost in thought when he heard cheers. He looked up and saw Lallana shooting, threatening Cech, who was wearing a tank helmet, once again.

Liverpool fans believe they are close to scoring.

"Stand by plan, I'll wait on the outside." Qin Ming realized that he wouldn't be closely marked during corner kicks.

That would be the perfect time to strike back.

“I’ll keep an eye on your location,” Mertesacker nodded.

The group quickly finished discussing tactics, and Giroud returned to the penalty area to play as a center-back.

The next point of attack is Walcott.

"Lallana passes the ball to Milner, and Liverpool cross it again immediately!"

"Sakho's header!"

"Cech is on fire today!"

"If someone saves the ball with both hands and pushes it out of the penalty area, who gets possession?"

Sky Sports commentator Jamie Carragher tensed up the moment he saw Arsenal's number 10.

“Emrecan was right next to him—”

Before Carragher could finish his sentence, he got off his seat.

On the field, Qin Ming saw Emre Can extend his leg, but it wasn't in the best position. With a gentle flick, he got rid of him.

The Germans seem to be used to playing in the Premier League.

His footwork is much faster than that of the rough-and-tumble players in the Premier League.

"There's someone else!" After Qin Ming passed Emre Can, he saw a red figure.

Henderson!
A Liverpool spirit heir who would rather stay at Liverpool as a substitute than be loaned out.

He is also Gerrard's successor.

However, compared to Gerrard, he is physically weaker and lacks explosiveness.

What deserves praise is its extremely strong running ability and coverage.

"I'll knock you over!" If the opponent were Emre Can, Qin Ming might have chosen to control the ball, but Henderson just charged straight at him.

Just as Henderson was about to block his position, Qin Ming suddenly pushed off the ground and charged forward, colliding solidly with Henderson from the side!
Bang! A dull thud of hand-to-hand combat came from the close-up sound recording equipment.

"Shit!" Henderson realized he had overestimated Qin Ming's explosive power.

Liverpool's captain could only fall to the ground in frustration.

Fortunately, Qin Ming's average speed wasn't too fast; if it were Bale, he would probably reach the penalty area in three seconds.

"Walcott and Campbell are both pushing forward," Qin Ming decided after seeing this.

Take the side road.

He widened the distance between himself and Liverpool's full-back Clyne, while simultaneously creating space for Walcott and the two of them to stretch the floor.

"Moreno can intercept outside the penalty area!"

"Go up! Go up!"

"Don't let him advance any further!"

Carragher wished he were on the pitch himself.

However, Moreno, the full-back who joined Liverpool from Sevilla, has very serious deficiencies in defense. Moreno is hesitant to press forward easily because he is afraid of being beaten.

But he didn't notice that Walcott and Campbell were about to move forward and into position.

Two against one!

With Sakho involved in the corner kick attack, only Kolo Toure remained as the center-back.

"Why not intercept?" Qin Ming noticed Moreno's hesitation and decisively flicked the ball.

Moreno's hesitation caused Klopp to roar in frustration.

Kolo Toure didn't care about anything else and rushed to block Qin Ming.

"Theo!" Qin Ming ran from the backfield to the penalty area, even battling with Henderson and others, knowing he didn't have the strength to shoot.

But he can't shoot either.

He timed his pass perfectly, bypassing Kolo Toure, and passed it to Walcott.

Arsenal's young star strikes the ball with a low shot.

0-1! ! !

Mignolet was helpless against that shot.

"Arsenal's counter-attacks are sharp! Qin! Qin dribbles past three players and passes the ball, Walcott scores!"

"Arsenal score in the 38th minute!"

"With two key players missing, the $90 million man stepped up, making a series of breakthroughs in the backfield and passing the ball to Walcott!"

"Look how well that pass was made! Even my grandma could score that!"

Paul Dutton became more and more excited as he spoke.

Carragher's face darkened. He regretted not inviting Paul Dutton as a guest commentator.

However, he recalled the goal.

Beautiful indeed.

Qin Ming dribbled past Emre Can and Henderson in the backfield, made a long run, and then got rid of Clyne and Moreno before delivering a cross that led to Walcott's goal.

Everyone who sees it has to say it's good.

On the field, Qin Ming and Walcott high-fived in celebration. Only now did the latter fully understand why Sanchez was no longer vying for the core role.

It's not just that we can't win the competition, it's that there's no point in competing.

Isn't it satisfying to score like that?
Moreover, looking back, whenever Qin Ming was heavily guarded, Sanchez performed well. Wasn't that because someone was helping him absorb the defensive resources?
"Qin! I should have known better than to go back to the restricted area!" Giroud said with a hint of envy.

They scored a goal with ease.

He wants to too.

"If you were in front, I might reach the restricted area while you're still outside."

Qin Ming knew Giroud's 100-meter record.

“That makes sense.” Giroud rubbed his hair.

But then he wondered, if the team was going to play a defensive counter-attacking style, why was he being started?
Courtside.

Klopp recalled his time coaching Dortmund.

Powerless.

Qin Ming is even stronger now than he was back then. This goal can be attributed to Moreno, but Emre Can and Henderson's failure to intercept the ball is a huge problem in this offensive and defensive transition.

the other side.

After celebrating, Wenger put his hands in his pockets and then scurried to the coaching bench.

Although he exercises regularly, his age is a factor, and he can't compare to "younger" players like Klopp.

If your clothes get wet in the snow, you're guaranteed to catch a cold tomorrow.

The game resumed.

They dominated Arsenal for over twenty minutes, only to concede a goal on a counter-attack.

The Liverpool players' mentality was somewhat affected.

This meant that for the next few minutes, they were unable to mount a threatening attack, nor did they dare to launch a full-scale offensive as before.

After all, the image of Qin Ming's long-distance raid was still vivid in everyone's mind.

We must not repeat the same mistakes.

This resulted in their ineffective attack; after several attempts to advance, they not only failed to achieve any results but also lost possession to Arsenal.

"Liverpool's high pressing was also affected by multiple factors!"

"The first problem is physical fitness, and the second is that we're afraid to press forward!"

"Beep-beep!"

"The referee has blown the whistle; the first half is over!"

"Arsenal, playing away, have taken a quick counter-attack and are currently leading Liverpool 1-0!"
