Football: Starting from the Ronaldinho template

Chapter 245 We are Gunners with attacking in our DNA, and the miracle at Wembley Stadium continues!
Wembley Stadium.

Arsenal fans were almost in a frenzy, their eyes reddening amidst the hysterical cheers.

too long.

Since Arsenal built their new stadium and since several veteran players left, the Gunners haven't played like this.

Now all the gunmen in the world believe they will definitely turn the tide.

Holden David waves his hat as he runs away from home to pursue a career in football, despite his father's strong opposition.

But he couldn't continue down this path.

Looking at Qin Ming, who was full of vigor on the field, he felt that perhaps in another world, he would also be the center of attention.

Bertrand Carlsen then hugged his son.

The relationship between father and son has improved a lot recently, at least they are no longer as hostile as before, although they seem more like fans.

Little Hannah also tensed up and screamed.

She still remembers the goal Qin Ming scored for her during the match against Chelsea.

Amidst the red and white waves at Wembley Stadium, everyone gained what they wanted in this match.

Of course, this is far from enough.

"Got the red and white''s all showing them how!"

"Come on you Arsenal, yeah you''re the Hot Stuff!"

The Red and White Legion will teach them a lesson!

Come on, Arsenal! You are the champions!
The EFL Cup, though not particularly prestigious, embodies their hopes, and even more so, their hopes for a brighter future.

"Did you hear that?"

Qin Ming turned his gaze to his teammates, "Regardless of whether the outside world criticizes or praises us, there are always people supporting us. They have not given up, so how can we surrender?"

He had been observing the situation throughout the first half, although most of the Arsenal fans had disappeared in the face of adversity.

But Bertrand Carlsen never stopped.

As a player, once you're on the field, it doesn't matter how many fans there are, or even if there's only one person in the stands, or no one at all.

They all have to fight to the very end.

This isn't just feel-good platitudes; it's Qin Ming's true thought.

Because he felt that he was his first fan.

"Go Liverpool!" Qin Ming turned to look at the Liverpool goal.

Miniore could not see clearly, but he shivered uncontrollably and subconsciously looked up at the electronic scoreboard.

"There are still more than ten minutes left in the game. We just need to hold on and not give them any more chances to shoot."

Mignolet had barely finished speaking when he saw Klopp making a gesture.

attack.

"Listen to the fans' songs. Arsenal wants to be heroes, but we are not cowards either. I would rather not have a championship won by playing defensively!"

Klopp said through gritted teeth in a low voice.

Compared to Arsenal, Liverpool has a richer history, because it is intertwined with life and decades of rivalry.

Liverpool's desire to rise from the ashes cannot be achieved with just one EFL Cup title.

spirit.

What they need is this ethereal, intangible thing.

This is what people often refer to as the "foundation of a wealthy family".

"Arsenal want to create miracles by stepping on us?"

Henderson was substituted on by Klopp, and after receiving the captain's armband and putting it on, he exclaimed, "That's a dream!"

As Gerrard's successor.

He got a lot of details about the Istanbul night from the other party.

Moreover, during a phone call a few days ago, Gerrard, who now plays for the Los Angeles Galaxy, said he would be watching the game live in Los Angeles.

He didn't want to disappoint the old captain.

"Don't embarrass Liverpool!" veteran Lucas added.

Sometimes you can sense an aura or presence.

Qin Ming had a similar feeling, so he patted his thigh muscles to let them relax.

It seems impossible to defeat Liverpool with two goals.

Or rather, this match is no longer just a League Cup final, but a contest of team spirit and player willpower between the two teams.

"Just do it!" Qin Ming found it quite interesting.

If Liverpool falters easily, even if they win the game, it might be a rather uninteresting experience.

Sanchez's eyes seemed to be burning with fire.

Qin Ming scored two goals, but he didn't really perform well. For a player who is also in the top ten for the Ballon d'Or, this is really too disappointing.

He didn't want others to look down on him.

"The game has restarted, and after Liverpool brought on Henderson, Arsenal also made a substitution, with Arteta replacing Ramsey."

"Nobody knows whether there will be overtime today, so both teams are being cautious with their substitutions."

"They're really putting up a fierce fight in midfield!"

After Qin Ming was intercepted by Milner and Moreno on the wing, the ball was cleared out of bounds by the Spanish team.

He was holding his knees and panting heavily.

Two days ago they played a Champions League knockout match, and their energy hasn't been fully replenished yet, but Liverpool played so aggressively today.

He was exhausted.

It seemed unlikely they could hold on into overtime. Qin Ming observed his teammates' expressions and realized that, apart from a few rotation players like Ta Zi, Sanchez, Cazorla, Giroud, and others were all at their limits.

"Then we can't play overtime."

Qin Ming gritted his teeth and stood up straight.

The more tired you are, the less you should stand still. Just like searching for life in the desert, once you stop, it's hard to take another step.

"Phew!" The rest of the Arsenal players were also exhausted.

For a time, Liverpool's formation pushed past the halfway line. Although Henderson's playmaking ability was average, his coverage area was very large.

People who can run themselves into plantar fasciitis are pretty ruthless.

He increased the defensive intensity in midfield, allowing his teammates to attack freely.

Snapped!
The ball came to Coutinho's feet; the Brazilian had previously scored a spectacular goal, but Arsenal were tightly marked.

Arteta just came on as a substitute and is full of energy.

After some back and forth, Coutinho passed the ball to the wing, looking for Joe Gomez who was making a run forward.

At only 19 years old, he is also a genius, and the kind of person who is very pragmatic. After receiving the ball, he did not think about showing off, but sent out a cross from near the baseline.

We still need to focus on Benteke, the aerial champion.

Benteke also managed to get a point, but Cech, despite his age, remained focused.

Bang! He dived to the side and saved the ball with one hand.

Mertesacker, still shaken, quickly came to the rescue.

Arsenal fans had no time to celebrate and quickly shifted their attention to the scene.

The football was kicked into the area behind the center circle.

With Cazorla dropping back to participate in defense, this position is currently unoccupied.

Lucas was the closest.

"Alexis, run!"

Sanchez couldn't hear Qin Ming's shouts; all he could hear was the noise from the fans.

However, he clearly saw the gesture.

Without hesitation, he turned and sprinted, with Joe Gomez overlapping on the flank to attack, leaving Liverpool's flanks completely undefended.

As long as Qin Ming can pass the ball to me.

"This is fucking exhausting!"

Qin Ming felt his legs getting heavier and heavier. He complained inwardly but gritted his teeth, his face turning red.

Lucas is only 30 years old this year, which is considered to be in his prime.

However, defensive midfielders require a lot of running, especially with his and Sanchez's frequent breakthroughs, Lucas had to cover for them countless times.

You can never outrun yourself.

With this belief in mind, Qin Ming increased his speed by a little.

Take off!

There were no fancy techniques; it was just a jump header.

"Lucas didn't manage to grab a single penny!"

"The ball was headed to Sanchez, no! Lovren is right there!"

"Oh oh oh!"

Paul Dutton was so excited he couldn't speak.

Lovren, nicknamed "Leaky Lovren," seemed to have exhausted himself; he touched the ball, but didn't quite make contact with it.

This caused the ball to slip behind him.

"Well done!" Qin Ming landed and lay on the ground, looking up at Sanchez with the ball. His dark thighs exerted fierce force, sending the Chilean speeding towards the penalty area.

As for him, he simply didn't have the energy to keep up.

However, he still forced himself to get up and jog forward.

There might be a chance.

But before he could run more than a few meters, Sanchez dribbled into the penalty area. Joe Gomez was not there, and Lovren covered for him, leaving the ball unattended.

No one can defend against Sanchez.

Mignolet had to do it himself, holding his breath and watching the other person.

boom!
Qin Ming was still craning his neck to see what was happening when the football mercilessly crossed the white goal line from under Mignolet's arm.

"Goal!?"

"The ball went in!!"

Commentators Jamie Carragher and Paul Dutton had contrasting expressions.

The former is a gloomy helplessness, the latter a bright red excitement.

Immediately afterwards, the commentary booth erupted in wild cheers.

"In the 88th minute, Arsenal equalized! Alexis Sanchez scored the crucial goal!"

"Liverpool wants to compete with us in attack?"

"Why should we? We have a £90 million man, two Ballon d'Or winners in the top ten, and we're still the Gunners whose attacking style is ingrained in our DNA!"

"The miracle at Wembley Stadium continues!"

As far as Paul Dutton's eyes fell was a surging wave of red and white.

On the field, Qin Ming suddenly felt a surge of energy, perhaps from an adrenaline rush, and he ran towards Sanchez to celebrate together.

"Well done, Alexis!"

Giroud was affected by public opinion today, and his performance was terrible. After being scolded at halftime, he finally stopped sleepwalking on the field.

But this is not enough.

One person's strength is limited.

Fortunately, Sanchez stepped up.

Soon, the two were surrounded by their teammates, whose faces were filled with joy and a desire for victory.

One goal, two goals, three goals.
Instead of surrendering to Liverpool, they launched their fiercest counterattack.

The thrill of leveling the score is indescribable.

not far away.

Liverpool players showed signs of collapse.

Henderson's words were excellent and have ignited their fighting spirit.

What if they concede another goal?

Lovren's hands were trembling. He usually had a habit of missing the ball, but those were in unimportant games.

I don't know if it's a decline in physical fitness or too much psychological pressure.

He missed a goal in the EFL Cup final when his opponent scored two goals in quick succession and his team was only leading by one goal.

This brought him to the brink of collapse.

"It was my fault, I'm sorry."

He could only lower his head and apologize to his teammates.

One mistake by him could render all the efforts of his teammates futile.

"It's alright." Henderson tightened his captain's armband.

What words of blame could he possibly say?

No.

Moreover, the score is still 3-3, and they haven't lost the game yet.

We still have a chance, don't give up easily!

Henderson's tone was firm.

Liverpool's captains have had their share of incompetents, but none of them have ever been cowards.

Klopp is not prepared to give Lovren another chance.

He had Kolo Toure warm up, and Liverpool's current situation is similar to Arsenal's in the first half.

Desperate situation.

We need a veteran to step in and stabilize the pace.

Kolo Toure, who helped Arsenal achieve an unbeaten season, would be a good fit.

Kolo Toure glanced to the other side out of the corner of his eye while warming up.

"Qin has ignited our counterattack!" Wenger raised his hands on the sidelines, his tie already ripped off.

"The first goal is the most crucial!"

Pat Rice nodded in agreement.

For Arsenal, trailing by three goals in the first half, even if they regain their morale, they still need to score to maintain their lead.

Qin Ming's earth-shattering long-range shot was like a battle cry.

This boosted their morale, pinned Liverpool back into their own half, and created subsequent opportunities.

"I really miss those days."

Kolo Toure looked away.

Fight for whichever side you're on.

Lovren was substituted off the field just like that, and he actually breathed a sigh of relief.

Not everyone has the courage to fight to the very end.

Arsenal made a similar adjustment, with Gibbs replacing Bellerin.

"Should we save the substitution for overtime?"

Wenger hesitated.

A moment later, he had Walcott warm up again, as they had no advantage in overtime.

Qin Ming thought the same thing, and his tone was fierce: "To hell with the Miracle of Istanbul, we won't play penalty shootouts with them, we'll beat them in stoppage time!"

He was nearing his physical limit.

He didn't want to score twice only to be substituted and watch the game from the bench.

The template integration is just one step away from being perfect; he absolutely must win this championship.

You must take control of your own destiny.

"Let's do it!" Sanchez transformed into a family-oriented hero, his energy at that moment was off the charts.

"Leave the defense to us old guys!"

Arteta laughed.

The game soon resumed.

Klopp signaled to his players to slow down the pace, though he still wanted to attack.

Arsenal were exhausted, so how could they be any better? After nearly 90 minutes of frantic running, it seemed like the game would end early, but Arsenal launched a counterattack in the second half.

Their stamina bars had long since been flashing red.

Therefore, Klopp did not want the game to go into extra time.

Qin Ming's long-range shot deflected off Kolo Toure and went out of bounds.

Giroud was substituted by Walcott.

The Frenchman's expression was one of utter dejection; he knew he had performed terribly today and had accomplished nothing so far.

If he hadn't regained his form in the second half, he probably would have been substituted much earlier.

But he was truly unwilling to accept this ending.

He may be unwilling, but he has to accept reality. No one should be responsible for his off-court affairs, and he can no longer affect his teammates.

"Qin! Go to Olivier's position and have Theo run around more!"

Wenger said, gesturing as he spoke.

"it is good!"

Qin Ming nodded.

Anyway, he can't run very fast, so he'll have more opportunities as a lone striker and can also tie down the opponent's defense.

As for his headers...
It can only be described as a last resort, but the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.

Qin Ming ran to Kolo Toure's side, making the former Arsenal player tense.

"I'm just here to attract attention; his real trump card is him." Qin Ming's eyes darted around, searching for a possible opportunity.

Kolo Toure ignored him.

After the tactical corner kick was taken, Arsenal continued to control the ball and made quick lateral passes.

"The referee has added four minutes of stoppage time!"

"The stoppage time is almost over now. If it really comes to a penalty today, I think Arsenal has a better chance!"

"After all, the difference in goalkeepers between the two teams is quite obvious!"
