Football: Starting from the Ronaldinho template

Chapter 232 A series of one-two passes shatter Chelsea's defense! A lob that turns Courtois into a stake! A brace!
Beep!
"First warning, second yellow card!" Clattenburg pulled out his yellow card directly from his pocket.

"You're targeting me!"

Mikel also recalled that five or six years ago at Stamford Bridge, Clattenburg's rulings were very unfriendly to him.

As for the reason?

According to The Sun, Clattenburg made racist remarks, and Mikel, in a media interview, publicly denounced him in front of numerous reporters, and later questioned him on her personal social media account.

Clattenburg remained silent throughout.

But the referee is also human and has personal emotions.

He just wouldn't show it, since racial discrimination is a big taboo. You can say it in private, but you absolutely can't bring it up in public.

Today, Mikel feels that being targeted is Clattenburg's way of holding a grudge.

But in reality, Clattenburg's ruling was not problematic from a rules-based perspective.

Because once Qin Ming gets past Mikel, he can move into the middle unmarked, giving Arsenal a numerical advantage.

Is this a way to thwart a favorable attack, or a second one?

Giving a yellow card is perfectly justified.

"If there's a next time, it'll be a red card!" Clattenburg stuffed the yellow card into his pocket, his calm tone full of warning.

He's a referee even Pepe wouldn't dare argue with.

"Let's do it again." Qin Ming raised an eyebrow. He was naturally unhappy about being fouled twice by Mikel.

But if Mikel could get a red card and be sent off, today's game would be much easier.

The experienced Mikel wasn't fooled. He pursed his thick lips and walked back, determined to change his playing style.

but.
If he can't use physical strength to fight back, how can he defend against Qin Ming?
He felt a deep unease.

Ivanovic was even more frustrated, because with Kirkland's return, Qin Ming could confidently and boldly break through without worrying about leaving no one to clean up his mess.

The game reached the 30th minute.

Qin Ming has already achieved seven breakthroughs, with a success rate as high as 86%.

He also extended his advantage from the flanks to the middle.

"Running into Mark was really bad luck!"

Hiddink frowned.

The referee's decisions today severely limited his tactics and disrupted all his plans.

This is a major boon for Arsenal.

He couldn't think of a good solution for the time being, after all, he had only been in charge of the team for less than a month, and it was already difficult to restore the players' fighting spirit.

On the other side, Wenger looked relaxed; the situation was now tilting in their favor.

It should only be a matter of time before he scores.

"Third brother! Don't rush, pass it back!" After Qin Ming passed the ball to Cazorla, he saw that Chelsea's defense was solid and thought that it would be difficult to break through head-on, so he had to come from the flanks.

Cazorla shared the same idea.

Thud! The football rolled back to Qin Ming's feet. He looked at Mikel and Ivanovic, who were positioned one in front of the other.

After one person is attacked, another person can quickly cover for them.

Qin Ming wasn't in a hurry and passed the ball back to Monreal.

"Go for it!" Ivanovic roared like an orc rushing to battle, no longer wanting to be tortured.

Mikel knew he was in trouble when he saw this.

As expected, with Kasorah's retreat, Qin Ming received the mid lane.

Cazorla, Monreal, and Coquelin made a series of passes and cuts, successfully breaking through the pressing of Willian, Ivanovic, and Diego Costa.

"Qin!" Cazorla received the ball again and passed it straight to Qin Ming.

With his back to Mikel, Qin Ming caught a glimpse of Sanchez out of the corner of his eye and thought to himself that the Chilean was improving quite quickly. He had learned to pass the ball before, and now he was also quite active in receiving passes.

Snap! So he passed the ball over, and then turned and made a 90-degree forward run.

Mikel couldn't keep up with him.

*Thud!* When the ball was passed to Qin Ming's feet, he once again slammed the ball against Giroud, leaving the elderly Terry to watch helplessly as the ball went in his hands.

Our two lines of defense were so easily breached?

Courtois, standing in front of the door, had no time to complain. He observed Qin Ming's shift in center of gravity, trying to determine the other party's intentions.

Qin Ming made no attempt to hide his intentions and directly shot into the bottom left corner.

With fast enough footwork and short enough adjustment time, even if the goalkeeper can guess the movement, he still can't make the save.

This is Qin Ming's confidence.

"Qin! The shot was too tricky; it hit the inside of the post and bounced into the goal!"

"Arsenal have finally scored!"

"After more than 30 minutes of play, Chelsea's aggressive tactics, which started off strong, became increasingly passive as the referee tightened his officiating!"

"The Gunners finally seized their chance and put the ball into the opponent's goal!"

Paul Dutton felt victory was within reach.

Chelsea currently boasts a star-studded squad, but they've had a dismal first half of the season, much like Dortmund last season, where some players simply couldn't perform to their potential.

How could they possibly be a match for Arsenal?
On the pitch, Qin Ming didn't even glance at Courtois, raising his hand to welcome the cheers of tens of thousands of Arsenal players.

Go back to your West London and cry!

"Mourinho was sacked by us, how long can Hiddink hold on?"

"To create an even longer undefeated record!"

"."

Arsenal fans were incredibly proud.

They had been consistently overshadowed by Chelsea, unable to compete in terms of money or accolades. They had been the target of much ridicule.

There are also nicknames like "expert in failure" and "voyeur," which keep the gunmen seething with resentment.

Now that the season is halfway through, they have beaten Chelsea twice and are aiming for a third.

This means that the balance of power will be reversed from now on.

"Wouldn't this be considered biased by the referee?" Since Qin Ming came to the Premier League, he has been targeted in almost every game.

Today I encountered a Clattenburg who was less daring.

It felt really good to kick.

“This is a normal ruling, how could it be considered bias?” Giroud said matter-of-factly.

"Exactly! When Chelsea used to play against us, their tackles were so aggressive it was unbelievable. Alexis knows that best."

Cazorla was reminded of the 2014 match.

That day, Sanchez had just joined Arsenal and was violently fouled by Gary Cahill, causing Wenger to lose his temper and get into a fight with Mourinho on the sidelines.

"At that time, I almost thought my career was over."

Sanchez nodded with a wry smile.

As the players celebrated on the field, Wenger breathed a long sigh of relief.

Hiddink's Chelsea was just as violent as Mourinho's, and in some ways even dirtier.

He had met Ramsey, Walter, Eduardo, and others whose lives were changed by a single violent foul.

That's why he couldn't help but shove Mourinho after hearing Sanchez's scream.

the other side.

Hiddink really wanted a cigarette, and after pacing back and forth a few times, he finally called Mikel over.

"Arsenal's number 10 position is not fixed, so don't keep an eye on him the whole time. Instead, focus on zonal defense."

"Run! Get the lads moving, that'll help stabilize the defense, and then we can look for opportunities to attack."

After Hiddink finished speaking, he looked around with a headache.

With Fabregas, Diego Costa, and Hazard, who wouldn't say this lineup is great?
But in reality, Chelsea is all bark and no bite.

Without a complete tactical system, the players are still mentally exhausted.

Even if he gives the Chelsea players a pep talk, to maintain their passion and fighting spirit, he needs to score first in this game.

However, it was Arsenal who scored first.

The Chelsea players' morale collapsed immediately, and everyone looked listless and dejected.

"There's not much hope for today's game." Hiddink saw it clearly; if Chelsea wanted to regain their form, they needed to build a good mentality.

This is not something that can be done in just one month.

Chelsea made changes after the game restarted, but with little effect.

Time just slips away little by little.

Beep!
The referee soon blew the whistle, ending the first half of the match.

Fabregas turned his head and saw Qin Ming and Wenger high-fiving each other; the two seemed to have a good relationship.

He thought of his past self.

Also like this.

What would things be like now if he hadn't left Arsenal, or if Wenger had taken him in when he returned to the Premier League?
The gunmen should be even stronger.

But he knew that was impossible; Wenger had his own pride and would never accept a traitor.

Wenger and Qin Ming disappeared side by side into the players' tunnel.

Fabregas turned his gaze to the fans in the north stand, but instead of cheering for him, they booed him loudly.

He left the field as if fleeing.

Halftime, in the home team's locker room. "Beware of Chelsea's malicious fouls. Although the referee's rulings are lenient, their emotions are already very unstable."

"Also, we can drop the formation a bit deeper. Their two defensive midfielders are spaced far apart, and their two center-backs are positioned further forward. We can use this to launch counter-attacks."

“Alexis and Qin are both quite fast. Olivier, you can stand in the center circle, receive passes from the backfield, and then pass them to them.”

Wenger said.

“The two of us will cut in from here at an angle, and they won’t have time to react,” Qin Ming gestured with his hand and whispered to Sanchez.

He tormented Ivanovic and Mikel in the first half.

The second half should be easier; if Sanchez provides cover, they might be able to score another goal.

"Ah."

Sanchez nodded.

The changing room next door.

"Forget the referee's decision, focus on the next move, and avoid emotional fluctuations."

"And let me see your professionalism."

"There were reasons for the poor performance in the first half of the season, but we can't continue like this. The defending champions shouldn't be like this."

Hiddink places high demands on the team's physical fitness.

But after accepting Mourinho's mess, they discovered that Hazard liked to eat hamburgers, Diego Costa often skipped training, and the players' physical fitness had declined significantly compared to last season.

For now, he can only try to get the players excited through words.

Even if this is a desperate measure to quench thirst.

Otherwise, they would collapse in the second half under Arsenal's offensive pressure.

If the team suffers a crushing defeat at such a crucial time, their morale will collapse, and they may never be able to recover.

He's not pursuing victory now; he's just thinking about not losing too badly.

Diego Costa didn't react after hearing this; he was thinking about whether there would be an opportunity to leave Chelsea and join Atletico Madrid during the summer transfer window.

Spain is a better fit for him.

"The second half begins!"

"Chelsea's players have shown signs of improvement, but Arsenal's decision to drop back seems to be an attempt to lure Chelsea into pressing forward?"

"Hazard broke through on the wing, Bellerin was beaten, and Mertesacker was also very clumsy in front of him!"

"Cech made a brilliant save! He knows Hazard so well; he knew exactly where Hazard was going to shoot as soon as he saw him lift his foot!"

on the field.

Arsenal fans cheer for the former Chelsea legend goalkeeper.

Cech straightened his helmet, showing little emotional reaction to his former club, having already played against them twice.

But he is somewhat relieved now.

They left early.

Otherwise, staying at Chelsea would not only mean sitting on the bench, but also being forced into power struggles.

What he hates most is the complicated interpersonal relationships in the locker room.

Chelsea erupted in cheers after orchestrating a dangerous attack in the second half. The 3,000 Blues fans in the away stand cheered loudly.

The 65th minute of the game.

When Diego Costa received the ball, tens of thousands of Arsenal fans in the stadium erupted in a chorus of jeers.

"Wanker!!!"

In September of last season, Diego Costa clashed with Gabriel, resulting in the latter being sent off with a red card, while Costa only received a yellow card.

Later, in addition to signing a petition demanding that referee Mike Dean be banned from officiating Arsenal matches again, Arsenal fans also launched a boycott of Costa coffee.

Because this coffee brand shares the same initials as Diego Costa's last name.

It even sparked a trend on the internet at the time.

[Strongly support boycotting Costa Coffee, go to Starbucks like me!]

[We hope Arsenal fans will boycott Costa Coffee from now on, for the sake of honor!]

Boycott all Costa! Whether it's a café or the Diego Costa!

Therefore, as soon as Diego Costa got the ball today, Arsenal fans, in perfect unison, hurled the most vulgar word.

"Mertesacker and Diego Costa collided! That fall was so exaggerated, it was like he fell over at the slightest touch!"

"Referee Clattenburg didn't blow the whistle, indicating that play should continue!"

"Bellerin reacted quickly, dribbled forward, and got past Matic!"

"Find Cazorla!"

The sudden turn of events on the pitch put Chelsea fans on edge, while Arsenal fans had no time to hurl insults.

Cazorla received the ball near the center circle and pulled it away from Fabregas.

"Qin!" he roared and kicked straight at Qin.

The football traced a precise trajectory.

He swept past Matic and Mikel, arriving at Qin Ming's feet as he made a diagonal run towards the center.

"One on each side!"

After a quick observation, Qin Ming discovered that Gary Cahill was on the left and Chelsea captain Terry was on the right.

The two people are still some distance away from me.

You can dribble forward first, then look for an opportunity to shoot.

But when he saw Courtois standing in front.

What do you mean?
He was afraid that he would accelerate and get past the two center-backs, so he moved in advance to prevent a one-on-one situation.

Or perhaps they were worried about suddenly shooting and expanding their save area by moving forward.

Between the electric light and flint.

Qin Ming made a decision, quickly adjusted his footwork, and effortlessly flicked his right foot.

*Snap!* A rainbow seemed to appear in the sky above the Emirates Stadium.

Courtois's expression changed drastically, but seeing the trajectory in the sky, he knew it was all too late.

The bewildered Belgians stood rooted to the spot, turning back to watch the football fall into the goal.

This is like a hanging for a goalkeeper.

Courtois is now just a background character again, feeling utterly dejected. If he could go back in time, he would never have any contact with De Bruyne's girlfriend.

But who could have predicted that De Bruyne would have such a formidable brother?

"Yeah!!!" The fans in the North Stand were celebrating as if they had won the championship.

No matter how many times they beat Chelsea, they will be just as excited.

Because on the other side there's the traitor Fabregas, and their most hated Diego Costa.

"Chelsea is shit!!!" Some Arsenal fans started mocking the club.

"When he's playing here in a blue jersey, I don't think he's happy inside."

A British man gestured to show respect to Fabregas.

Why don't you boo? He's a bastard!

The young man next to him immediately retorted.

"Cunt! Cunt! Cunt!"

The young man repeated it many times.

Then he patted his Arsenal number 10 jersey and shouted the word "King" loudly in sync with the rhythm of the North Stand.

January is a cold winter month.

London was already bathed in the night sky as it approached six o'clock in the evening.

But tonight belongs only to the 57000 jubilant gunmen.

The 3000 Chelsea fans, who remained completely silent, probably just wanted to end this absolutely terrible day as soon as possible.

on the field.

Amidst a chorus of boos and trailing by two goals, Chelsea players completely lost their fighting spirit.

Qin Ming, who scored twice, was not satisfied and called on his teammates to continue their fierce attack.

He wants a hat trick.

As a result, after Mikel's headbutt tackle, the Nigerian player received two yellow cards and was sent off, and Qin Ming was also substituted by Wenger.

"If you hadn't dodged quickly, you would have been out for the rest of the season!"

Wenger was terrified.

"I'm getting a little tipsy," Qin Ming chuckled twice.

The main reason was the great atmosphere at the stadium today, coupled with a smooth game, which put him in top form.

"Let's rest first. We still have two games to play, the EFL Cup and the FA Cup."

Wenger couldn't bring himself to criticize.

What's wrong with a player wanting to score?
That's right.

With Qin Ming's departure, the situation stabilized.

Chelsea lost their fighting spirit, and Arsenal were happy to do so, as they could win the game easily.

Beep-beep-beep!
In the final round of the Premier League, Arsenal defeated Chelsea 2-0.
