Football: Starting from the Ronaldinho template

Chapter 248 A Miracle Belonging to the Rotating Gunners! The league progresses, first Swansea, then Everton!

"Arsenal's home victory over Manchester United this season ended their previous four-season winless streak against the club, which consisted of three draws and five losses in eight league matches."

"But Manchester United have won 6 and drawn 2 of their last 8 league home games against Arsenal. Arsenal's last league away win against Manchester United was in 2006."

"For Manchester United, young Rashford continued to start, De Gea returned from injury, and Rojo was rotated into the starting lineup."

"For Arsenal, Welbeck, Walcott and Gabriel were among those who rotated into the starting lineup."

"The match has begun."

In a private box at Old Trafford, Qin Ming approached Wilshere and they chatted casually.

In fact, the two had only met a limited number of times.

Wilshere has been sidelined with injury since the beginning of the season and is still not fully recovered. It is unknown when he will be able to return.

He had also looked at Wilshire's resume before.

He joined Arsenal at the age of 9, signed a professional contract at 16, and made his Premier League debut in 2008 before turning 17.

Wilshere, who possessed outstanding skills and the demeanor of a great general in his youth, was also given ample opportunities for development by Wenger without hesitation.

Then, Fabregas's betrayal and Van Persie's departure led Arsenal fans to place too much expectation on him.

As a result, geniuses often face many setbacks.

He was plagued by various injuries, and this season was the darkest time for him. He was injured and unable to return to the team, and his son was diagnosed with epilepsy.

He even considered retiring.

Wilshire glanced at Qin Ming out of the corner of his eye. Had the Gunners' expectations of him been transferred to him now?

It wasn't jealousy, but rather a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, deep feelings) about my own experiences, and the faint flame in my heart that had grown stronger in the wind.

Even if he can't contribute to the team, he still wants to see Arsenal win the title.

"Now that I see you, I can't even find any excuses anymore."

Wilshire smiled wryly.

In the past few years, when he was frequently injured, he would think of going to nightclubs to vent his frustrations or smoking to distract himself.

Back then, when fans mocked him on social media, he immediately responded with a picture of Zidane smoking.

"Await your return."

Qin Ming smiled.

But the next second he couldn't laugh anymore.

On the pitch, Herrera intercepted the ball in the attacking third and crossed from the right wing. Gabriel managed to block the cross, but Rashford, unmarked, followed up and scored.

1-0!

Manchester United's prodigy Marcus Rashford imitated Cristiano Ronaldo's celebration, eliciting wild cheers from the Red Devils in the stadium.

"I've never seen Ronaldo at 19, but I have seen Rashford at 19. Old Trafford has welcomed a genius player!"

The on-site commentator was extremely excited.

Since the last century, Arsenal and Manchester United have had a long-standing feud, mainly involving their two managers.

Arsenal have now spent £90 million to buy a genius.

And in the youth training camp, they discovered a genius.

How could this not be exciting?

They hope that Rashford can show his talent in his debut season, just like Qin Ming, and advance Manchester United's revival.

"They're probably all talking about you right now."

Rosicky was also present today.

"Maybe." Qin Ming crossed his arms, not really caring.

Rashford?

If he remembers correctly, the two should be the same age this year.

That makes it much easier to compare.

In terms of honors, statistics, and performance, he can easily surpass Rashford in all three dimensions, right?
To be honest, he doesn't think about comparing himself to others every day; comparing people all the time is really exhausting.

The game reached the 54th minute.

Flamini's long pass caused Rojo to misjudge the header, allowing Welbeck to pounce and score past De Gea.

1-1! ! !

"Everyone played very aggressively today."

Qin Ming laughed.

"After watching the game against Liverpool, I know they're not stone men; they're definitely going to fight."

Rosicky understands the idea of ​​rotating players very well.

Humans are emotional beings. We witnessed the Wembley miracle and saw Qin Ming and others fight hard to win a trophy for the team.

Can they remain indifferent?

The team is currently in a crisis, facing a strong opponent in the league.

These rotation players should step up.

Miracles are not just for heroes; ordinary people can also participate in them.

Today's Old Trafford is their Wembley.

After equalizing, the Gunners became rock solid. With several players missing in attack, they focused all their efforts on defense.

"Rashford takes a long-range shot from outside the box! Too far from the goal to threaten Ospina!"

"Actually, Manchester United's performance this season has improved, but it hasn't been much better. De Gea has been the best player in many consecutive games!"

"What does this mean?"

"Perhaps Manchester United only has one world-class player left!"

"Martial, who was signed before the season, cost half the price of Qin Ming, but so far this season, his stats are abysmal and he's in a goal drought!"

Zhan Jun believes that if the team continues playing like this, Arsenal can indeed take away a point.

We might even be able to win.

Finally, he glanced at Manchester United's injury list, which included 11 players: Schweinsteiger, Rooney, Valencia, Ashley Young, Smalling, and others.

That's just enough to make up the starting lineup.

If Arsenal field their full-strength squad, they might just hand Manchester United a humiliating defeat.

On the pitch, Rashford, as the starting center forward, was increasingly anxious, which gradually caused him to lose his composure.

Frequent long-range shots from the perimeter.

However, the gap between him and his idol Cristiano Ronaldo is obvious to the naked eye. Not to mention Ospina, even Matt Messi could save his shot.

The 86th minute of the game.

Arsenal's corner kick from the right was delivered into the penalty area, where Welbeck fired a low shot with his right foot towards the near post, but De Gea reacted quickly and blocked the ball out of play with his foot.

Two seconds later, he made two consecutive saves to block Walcott's follow-up shot.

He then sat on the ground for a long time, clearly trying to calm himself down and sighing at the lapses in Manchester United's defense.

"David is just too outrageous!" Qin Ming couldn't help but complain.

"His goalkeeping skills are excellent, especially his reaction speed, which is better than most goalkeepers."

Cech provided a professional answer.

If they can score this goal, they will most likely win.

Pity.

Injury time.

Rashford changed tactics, trying to break into the penalty area.

Gustavo's tough challenge sent the ball to the wing, where Lingard received it and skillfully outmaneuvered Gibbs.

Manchester United fans were energized.

However, Lingard's shot inside the penalty area was blocked by Gabriel's body.

Manchester United have won a corner kick!

"Gustavo gets a touch, Elneny clears the ball!"

"The referee has blown the whistle! The match is over! Arsenal 1-1 Manchester United!"

The Arsenal players in the away stands raised their hands and cheered.

They were quite satisfied with the result.

March in London is already springtime.

Taking advantage of the last days of winter, Qin Ming took on an advertising job—an ad for Puma.

But this time his partner is Wenger.

"After a thorough study of Mr. Arsène Wenger's hand movements, we created a new zipper that is smoother and will never jam again!"

This is an advertising slogan.

The content was as simple as it could be: Qin Ming and Wenger, wearing down jackets, unzipped their coats from bottom to top and gave each other a thumbs-up with smiles.

"Recently, Twitter users have been saying that you've managed 720 Premier League games, speak 8 languages, but still can't zip up your jacket."

After the shoot, Qin Ming said with a smile.

“Actually, I think I always have a pretty good time zipping up my zippers.” Wenger shrugged.

Qin Ming remained silent, but simply took out his phone and opened an article.

It contains several animated GIFs.

Wenger smiled awkwardly after seeing it and thought about zipping up the zipper.

After all, it was still a bit chilly in London in early March.

As a result, it couldn't be zipped up; the zipper got stuck halfway through.

Back home, Qin Ming opened the system again to check the refreshed products.

[1. Zidane's Marseille turn technique (30 points)]

【2. Denilson's Cycling Techniques (30 points)】

3. Beckham's free-kick skills (50 points)

"I'm not very lucky. It's all about skill. Is there no talent?"

Qin Ming wasn't very interested in any of these things.

I might as well keep the points and use them next month.

3 month 3 day.

Emirates Stadium.

"Today is the 28th round of the Premier League, the match between Arsenal and Swansea."

"By the way, in the last round, Arsenal drew with Manchester United, Leicester City beat Norwich 1-0, and Manchester City beat Newcastle United 2-1. Arsenal are still at the top of the standings, but the gap with Manchester City has narrowed to 3 points."

"The match has begun."

"."

"Cazorla makes a long pass to Giroud, the French striker heads the ball back, and Sanchez receives the ball and curls a pass to the far post!"

"Qin Ming! He ran into space and slotted the ball home to give Arsenal the lead!"

"After the baptism of the EFL Cup final, Arsenal players seem to have undergone a transformation. Today, they pinned Swansea back in their own half, preventing them from even launching an effective attack!"

"Qin Ming hasn't even exerted his full strength yet!"

"."

"In the 52nd minute of the match, Qin Ming made a series of breakthroughs on the wing, and Norton couldn't stop him at all. Can Fabianski do the same?"

"A finesse shot! The sharp arc hit the post! Sanchez followed up and extended the lead!"

"."

"Match ends! Arsenal defeat Swansea 3-1, with Qin Ming, Sanchez, and Bellerin each scoring a goal!"

"If it weren't for the tight schedule later on, and Wenger's decision to substitute several key players early, Qin Ming might have scored even more goals!"

"Today, the entire Arsenal team showed a change in spirit. It's true what they say: even champions have to go through setbacks!"

"."

After finishing the 28th round of the Premier League, Qin Ming glanced at his phone.

Leicester City beat West Bromwich Albion 3-2, with goals from Mahrez, Vardy and Andy King.

Manchester City 1-1 Liverpool.

The gap was closed, but Manchester City dropped to third place as a result, while Leicester City moved up to second.

"Leicester City will play even better this year."

Qin Ming speculated that the butterfly effect had led to improved performances for Leicester City, Manchester City, and Liverpool.

After all, people don't know their potential until they're pushed.

That's the situation at Leicester City right now.

They came here expecting to avoid relegation, but they've been playing better and better, and now they even have a chance to win the championship.

The players will definitely work even harder.

"Heroes from all over the world are as numerous as carp crossing a river." Qin Ming felt that Arsenal played well enough, but they still couldn't widen the gap significantly.

But after looking at the remaining schedule...

Two days later, they will play Everton in the league, followed by two FA Cup matches, then the second leg of the Champions League, and then a league match against Tottenham.

March was also quite busy.

He doesn't need to go back for the national team match against the Maldives at the end of March, but he will have to go back for the match against Qatar.

After all, they need to compete for first place in the group.

It's almost time for the Premier League again.

Qin Ming and his teammates arrived in Merseyside, the second most familiar British city to him.

"The Merseyside Killer!"

Arsenal fans paraded through the streets holding signs.

After seeing this through the bus window, Qin Ming felt that he didn't look like a player, but more like a perverted killer.

The fan holding the sign was cosplaying Leatherface from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

"Isn't this damaging my image?"

Qin Ming took two photos with the front-facing camera, which can only be described as slightly inferior to Beckham's.

Until the match begins.

In the players' tunnel, Qin Ming saw old friends such as Coleman, McCarthy, and Lukaku.

Lukaku was very attentive to him, even saying he wanted to exchange jerseys after the match.

Giroud keenly sensed that something was wrong.

Someone wants to take his place as the "leg accessory".

"I need to work harder!"

His performance has been inconsistent due to recent public opinion interference, and he cannot afford to lose his starting position because of this.

Coleman gave Qin Ming a hard time right at the start of the match.

There was no other way; after the previous few matches, he felt that if Qin Ming was allowed to play freely, he definitely couldn't stop him.

However, just a few minutes later...

Facing Coleman's tackle, Qin Ming used a speed that was almost imperceptible to lob the ball into the air.

All Zhan Jun can say is: "His skill is astounding."

Even though he was watching intently, he couldn't understand what Qin Ming did; he only saw Qin Ming's right foot move slightly.

The football seemed to have been magically lifted into the air to avoid Coleman's tackle.

"Isn't this just using football as an excuse to become a magician?"

Paul Dutton was also surprised.

By the time the commentators and fans came to their senses, Qin Ming had already run more than ten meters, leaving Coleman with a dashing silhouette.

Stones has a good awareness of defensive rotations.

However, there is a rule in football that most players must abide by.

Those with good awareness generally have average skills.

Those with good technical skills generally lack awareness.

For example, Balotelli.

Stones' defensive skills, taken individually, might not even be as good as Mertesacker's.

Qin Ming likes this kind of player the most.

With a slight sway of his upper body, he stepped over the ball with both feet.

The skillful technique contains a captivating agility and elegance.

"I hate technically skilled players!"

Stones stretched out his leg with all his might to steal the ball, but he was met with a crisp sound.

No look, pass!

The 100% template integration allows Qin Ming to move more freely between actions.

Giroud played the role of the hard-working ox, never thinking of doing it himself.

He wanted to be a pendant.

Thud! He nudged the soccer ball to the side and in front of Qin Ming's running trajectory.

"His passing skills have improved."

Qin Ming muttered to himself as he faced Robles, the 195cm tall former Atletico Madrid goalkeeper, and unleashed a low shot.

The tall guy falls down much slower than Courtois.

0-1! ! !

The Everton fans at Goodison Park were reminded of the fear of being dominated by Qin Ming.

"The Merseyside Killer lives up to his reputation!"

"I feel like Qin's form has become even hotter since March, especially in terms of technical skills!"
