Football: Starting from the Ronaldinho template

Chapter 229 Heavy Artillery in the Snow!

Anfield Stadium.

Before returning to the locker room, Qin Ming glanced back at the famous sign.

This is Anfield!

I heard that Klopp has banned players from touching anything since he took over, unless they can bring Liverpool a championship.

It contains two meanings.

First, as a Liverpool player, you must fight for the title for the team.

Second, you need to stay after winning the championship.

"We were in danger between the 25th and 35th minutes of the game. Our formation had lost its flexibility, and we could only defend our midfield and backfield."

"Fortunately, Liverpool got carried away in attack and invested too many resources in corner kicks."

"Ultimately, it's a matter of midfield toughness. You need to learn to push outwards! Make the formation more flexible!"

Wenger marked the 30-meter line on the tactics board with a red pen.

The 30-meter line is very important in football because the threat level increases significantly when an opponent crosses it.

Therefore, it was equivalent to an important trench.

"Move closer to me in the second half. Their three midfielders are all used to dropping inside, so we can give our two full-backs space to stretch the floor."

Qin Ming looked at Walcott and Campbell.

Liverpool's 4-3-3 formation is suitable for high pressing, but if they can draw multiple defenders, they can create more space on the flanks.

At that time, the two defensive midfielders will have more options for passing the ball, and it will be safer.

“Okay.” Volkert nodded.

He knew he couldn't perform at Qin Ming's level on the left wing, so he simply followed Qin Ming's arrangements.

Wenger smiled when he heard this.

From a tactical perspective, Qin Ming's thinking was correct and very reasonable.

He would have done the same if he were in his shoes.

“It seems Qin has been improving his skills more than just his technique during this time,” Wenger whispered to Pat Rice.

"I often see him watching game recordings in the conference room, and he's even made the data analyst work overtime several times."

Pat Rice chuckled.

Upon arriving in the players' tunnel, Henderson rubbed his iliotibial band, where Qin Ming had bumped into him, and the pain hadn't subsided yet.

Fortunately, it doesn't affect normal activities.

"Don't give him another chance to break through!" Henderson solemnly warned Moreno.

If Moreno had pressed forward to intercept the ball in the first half, even if he had been beaten, a tactical foul would have resulted in a free kick and a yellow card.

It's difficult to get past the wall and shoot directly from that position.

But Moreno's one wrong decision turned them into mere background figures.

"Okay," Moreno said, though he was a little resentful inside.

If Henderson and Emre Can had made interceptions in the attacking third, how could the subsequent troubles have occurred?

The second half of the game started soon.

Snow makes the pitch slippery, making ball control more difficult than on a sunny day.

"Qin Ming should reduce his ball possession! He should make continuous passes and cuts with his teammates, Ramsey passes to Bellerin!"

"The Spanish full-back has picked up speed!"

"Stop abruptly, shake off Moreno, and then look for Qin Ming!"

With Emre Can right next to him, Qin Ming skillfully lobbed the ball towards the penalty area, the ball spinning in an unpredictable trajectory.

The Sako people are as their name suggests.

Like a clown, I jumped up to grab a spot, stretched my head out, only to find that I still couldn't reach it.

A roof fall!

Giroud was also a bit surprised, slipping as he took the shot.

Thud! The French hunk fell flat on his backside, while Mignolet caught the football.

Giroud, ignoring his frustration, quickly got up.

"Defend! Defend!"

Qin Ming roared and immediately turned around, looking up at the football as it swept across the sky and headed straight for Firmino near the center circle.

The former Hoffenheim striker was not good at headers, but his positioning was very skillful.

Before Mertesacker arrived, he headed the ball to Lallana.

The latter was the first player in the Premier League to use the spinning technique.

In Rodgers' system, he lacked speed as a winger, lacked toughness as a midfielder, had poor long passing skills, and lacked vision in short passing. He seemed to be just a jack-of-all-trades, master of none.

But in Klopp's eyes...

His off-the-ball runs and positional interchanges are the lubricant of Liverpool's attack.

His ball control and spinning technique can draw attention and create space for other attackers.

His tireless defensive efforts and tackling perfectly complement the team's aggressive tactics.

As it turns out, a player's success depends not only on himself, but also on the head coach.

"Lallana spinning in place attracted Ramsey!"

"Mertesacker was fooled too, pass the ball to Firmino again!"

"Single sword!"

Anfield erupted in hysterical cheers from Liverpool fans.

"Give it your all, Peter!" Qin Ming's eyes were fixed on Cech as he ran, hoping the Czech goalkeeper could give him a surprise.

Kefeiermino is not a 4000 million fake.

Brazil's unconventional center forward remained calm, adjusting his footing before firing a low shot into the right post.

1-1!

Liverpool equalized in the 54th minute.

"This is Anfield!" The die-hard fans in the stands raised their arms, their fervor radiating despite the freezing weather.

Klopp also threw a punch from the sidelines, but missed.

He has been holding a grudge about losing to Arsenal and former Wolfsburg player Qin Ming in the early part of the season.

Arsenal scored the first goal again today.

He was incredibly frustrated, and now he could finally vent it.

"The second half is just the beginning of the comeback!" Klopp's face, hidden beneath his baseball cap, was filled with the desire for the championship.

He didn't come to the Premier League just to make money.

Making history!
Liverpool haven't won a top-flight league title since the Premier League was restructured, and apart from their Champions League victory in Istanbul, they seem to have nothing else to boast about.

Will it fall into ruin like Nottingham Forest did?

Klopp's down jacket was mostly soaked, but his body was burning with excitement.

He rediscovered the fighting spirit he had lost at Dortmund.

the other side.

Wenger recalled that at Anfield, Baptista and Arshavin's four goals indirectly cost Liverpool two titles.

It seems that Arsenal's rise is always accompanied by Liverpool's fall?

But now he feels that history will not repeat itself. Klopp has brought great changes to Liverpool in the six months since he took over.

oppression.

Even when he was off the court, he could empathize with the situation.

"As people get older, they tend to overthink things. Qin, you guys can try long-range shots; Liverpool's goalkeepers aren't that great."

Wenger called Qin Ming to the sidelines and gave him some instructions.

"I had the same idea," Qin Ming nodded.

The football became more slippery than usual after being exposed to rain and snow.

Therefore, high-quality long-range shots will cause more trouble for the goalkeeper.

It's just that shooting opportunities are hard to find.

Qin Ming glanced at Emre Can, then found Campbell and said, "We can switch positions if we have the chance."

He felt that Milner was easier to break through than Henderson.

And Bellerin can also support him.

66nd minute of the second half.

Qin Ming was bumped by Emre Can. Luckily, he was wearing long-studded boots today, otherwise he would definitely have lost his balance. Emre Can also had more power in his touch because of this collision than expected.

"There's a chance!" Ramsey immediately sprinted forward, poking the ball to Qin Ming first, while he himself was knocked down by Emre Can.

"The ball is still in Arsenal's possession, the referee signals for play to continue!"

"Qin Ming turns and leads forward! Milner provides support on the flank, Qin Ming moves to the side!"

"Bellerin and Moreno face off one-on-one!"

The former has a very strong burst of speed, but he doesn't dare to sprint at full speed in the snow, for fear that he won't be able to stop due to inertia.

After a few seconds of entanglement with Moreno, Giroud finally got close.

This move put pressure on Liverpool's defense.

Milner was also drawn in for a moment, when he subconsciously turned around and looked at where Qin Ming had been.

His face suddenly changed.

What about people?

"middle!"

Kolo Toure's roar gave him a hint.

"Playing on the flanks was definitely the right choice." Qin Ming's movement was cunning; he hid in Milner's blind spot and changed direction when Milner wasn't paying attention.

When he reached the 30-meter line, Giroud received a cross pass from Bellerin, looked up and saw Qin Ming pass it again.

"Don't let him shoot!" Milner and Kolo Toure rushed over hysterically.

The former even slipped and did a split on the spot because he exerted too much force.

What a surprise!
Qin Ming decisively flicked the ball to the right, widening the distance between himself and Kolo Toure. He took a deep breath to establish a stable core, swung his left arm back to his shoulder, and his right leg snapped out of the air like a spring!

Bang! The sound of the instep hitting the soccer ball was like the roar of a cannonball before it was fired!
The football whistled as it flew toward the goal.

The angle wasn't particularly tricky, but the power was immense, and the speed was so fast that it became a black shadow.

The cheers of the Liverpool fans came to an abrupt halt.

Almost instantly, they saw the net bulge out, the swaying white net nest chilling them to the bone more than snowflakes.

1-2!

What annoyed them even more was that Miniore, lying on the ground, was rubbing his wrist and looked to be in pain.

Slow motion replay.

Mignolet touched the ball, but his wrist strength wasn't enough to clear it out of bounds.

His wrist was injured when the ball hit him.

"A world-class goal!" Qin Ming ignored Mignolet and sprinted across the pitch through the snow.

He was very satisfied with that shot.

Especially after exerting all your strength, the feeling that comes back to your body is so satisfying!

"Pretty!"

"A devastating long-range shot!"

"The goal went in!"

"Arsenal retaliated just five minutes after Liverpool scored!"

"With many Arsenal players injured, Qin Ming, who had only joined the team for half a season, used a goal and an assist to tell the world that he is now the core of Arsenal!"

"No one else can! Because he will step forward!"

"The £90 million man continues to dominate the Premier League with unparalleled prowess after the Ballon d'Or ceremony!"

He Wei provides passionate commentary from inside the CCTV broadcasting studio.

As for Zhan Jun, he really couldn't say anything, and could only smile and sigh helplessly.

The Arsenal fans in the away stands melted the snow with their passion and shouts, allowing Qin Ming to fully enjoy this moment.

With Sanchez and Cazorla injured, he can still defeat strong opponents with a group of substitute midfielders.

At the Ballon d'Or ceremony two days ago, he saw Messi, who was number one in goals, assists, and goal creation for the year.

是45球13助的C罗、45球12助的莱万、42球15助的内马尔和39球23助的苏亚雷斯。

He also knew that he needed to snatch the Ballon d'Or from the two greatest players.

How difficult is it?

So he needs to score more goals, become the king of statistics, and then climb to the top of the football world.

Courtside.

"That's it!" Wenger swung his fists a few times, seemingly retaliating against the arrogant Klopp.

Klopp, however, did not remain silent and roared at the pitch.

"Where's the protection around the penalty area? Run, run!"

"Cover every danger zone with your running!"

Klopp's tactical philosophy is crazy, like rock music in the music world.

Liverpool happens to be the birthplace of the Beatles.

"Come on! Come on!" Henderson clapped his hands to encourage his teammates, then pointed to the die-hard fans in the stands who were singing "You'll Never Walk Alone".

"The spiritual foundation that all wealthy families possess."

Qin Ming also heard the familiar melody. Although he was not a Liverpool fan, he felt sentimental about the team's past.

The Heysel Stadium disaster, Hillsborough disaster, and other similar incidents have added a tragic dimension to the red color of Liverpool.

"But you should rise to power later."

Qin Ming brushed the snowflakes off his black hair.

Many teams have a glorious history, such as Arsenal's unbeaten trophy.

"But what I want to do is create a glorious history."

Just like Klopp's ambition to make history, Qin Ming's ambition was no less, and he even wanted more.

After the game restarts.

"According to the team doctor's diagnosis, it seems that Mignolet cannot continue!"

"Substitute goalkeeper Danny Ward enters the game!"

"Seeing Cech's tank helmet and Mignolet's injured wrist, you have to admit that being a goalkeeper is a really high-risk profession!"

Liverpool make another substitution, Benteke replaces Milner!

"Liverpool's formation has changed a lot. Lallana has dropped back to play as a left winger, Firmino has become a left winger, and Benteke is now playing as the center forward!"

"I think Liverpool is preparing for an aerial bombardment!"

Zhan Jun suddenly perked up.

He felt that Benteke, as a target man, should excel in positional attacks.

Liverpool might be able to turn the tide.

Wenger's adjustments were timely: Campbell was replaced by Gibbs, and Walcott was replaced by Arteta.

He needs to hold onto his one-goal lead in the away game.

"Why don't you go forward?" Qin Ming stood between Henderson, Kolo Toure, and Emre Can, holding back the three of them along with Giroud.

Even Klein on the wing didn't dare to push forward too much.

Henderson ignored Qin Ming. When he saw Benteke get the ball, he tried to imitate Lukaku's wing breakthrough, but Bellerin intercepted the ball. His vigilance instantly became extremely high.

really.

Arsenal don't bother with midfield transitions; they just launch long balls from the back to find the forwards.

After all, playing a passing and control style in snowy weather is just asking for trouble.

"Move back!" After seeing Giroud take his position, Qin Ming used his explosive power to shake off Henderson.

Giroud also managed to grab a few.

"I'll take it!" Kolo Toure's timing for the tackle was impeccable.

He spent the peak of his career at Arsenal, playing 36 out of 38 league games and helping the team win the title unbeaten.

In the 2005-06 season, he scored the winning goal in the semi-final, helping Arsenal advance to the Champions League final.

Unfortunately, they lost to Barcelona.

The 35-year-old veteran suddenly felt old when facing Arsenal's rising stars.

Because Qin Ming used a faster ball-touching frequency to complete the nutmeg.

*Snap!* Kolo Toure gritted his teeth, reached out, grabbed Qin Ming's jersey, and pulled him off balance.

He knew what the price would be.

But with little time left in the game, if Arsenal scores another goal, their hopes will be very slim.
