Football: Starting from the Ronaldinho template

Chapter 249 The Merseyside Killer is still on the move! Is Arsenal going to falter this spring? FA Cup!

"I feel that Everton is much weaker than Liverpool."

After scoring, Qin Ming crossed his arms in a Mbappe-style celebration, while his teammates looked on with curiosity and asked him how he did it.

"How did you do that?"

Qin Ming countered with a question.

"How did the ball fly up when my ankle didn't move?"

Professional players have sharp eyes, but even though Monreal was not far from Qin Ming, he still couldn't figure it out.

"Oh, actually it's not about flicking the ball, it's about squeezing the ball with the instep. As long as you're fast enough, you can flick the ball from a standing position."

Qin Ming made a similar gesture.

"I've seen Ronaldinho do it before, but it seems like no one else has done it."

As a South American player, Sanchez played freestyle football as a child, which included this move.

However, the football used in five-a-side football is smaller and has less elasticity than a normal ball.

Therefore, they can perform many more incredible feats.

For someone like Qin Ming to be able to perform a stationary lob using a size 5 ball in a top-tier league, one can only say that his technique and explosiveness are off the charts.

"There's something even more intense coming up."

Qin Ming raised an eyebrow.

The talents of Henry and Quaresma, whom he recently acquired, are steadily improving.

Once his running ability in the second half of the race reaches the required standard, he might be able to unleash a Kaka-style sprint.

Also, the outer instep.

The three techniques of volley, curl, and outside-of-the-foot shot can surprise any goalkeeper in the world.

"abnormal!"

Cazorla and the others exchanged glances and then spoke.

Courtside.

Everton manager Roberto Martinez is used to it.

From last season to this season, he led the team in five games against Wolfsburg and Arsenal, witnessing Qin Ming grow from a substitute player to who he is today.

He had even considered buying Qin Ming.

He remembered it was during the Europa League group stage, but who would have thought that after the winter transfer window, Qin Ming's value would skyrocket dozens of times, and he still had no intention of leaving Wolfsburg.

Since.

He knew Everton couldn't afford it.

the other side.

Wenger was somewhat used to it, and today he wasn't wearing a down jacket, but a black suit instead.

Pat Rice, on the other hand, always wears casual clothes.

Both men looked relaxed; clearly, Everton, a mid-table team in the league, didn't make them nervous.

After the game restarts.

Arsenal's possession rate is increasing, which makes Qin Ming very comfortable playing.

In fact, Wolfsburg's tactics last season were more defensive, with De Bruyne looking for opportunities to deliver threatening passes, and then he would move forward to receive the ball and seek a breakthrough.

The efficiency is very high.

But for him, he still prefers to control the ball more, keep it under his feet, and control the rhythm from his own center.

The 38th minute of the game.

After Qin Ming retrieved the ball to his rib area, he delivered a cross with the outside of his foot!
A distinct arc suddenly appeared, bypassing the bewildered Stones and arriving in front of Giroud.

The French were also a bit confused.

In addition, Qin Ming's pass was a bit too long, and he couldn't control the ball on the first touch, which was saved by goalkeeper Robles.

"What is this?"

Wenger has been busy with tactics lately and has paid little attention to player training.

"Qin practiced the outside of his foot a few days ago."

Pat Rice gasped.

Wenger unscrewed the bottle cap, took a few gulps of water, and said incredulously, "He only practiced for a bit?"

"Qin has excellent ball control and makes precise contact with the ball with all parts of his body. It's not surprising that he can play such a game."

Pat Rice gave his own reasons.

The two were shocked off the field, while Giroud was shocked on the field. He really hadn't expected it; otherwise, if he had sprinted a couple of steps, he probably could have caught up with the ball.

what?
You said Qin Ming's pass was too long?

That's impossible. It can only be that I was too slow and didn't arrive in time.

Qin Ming tapped his sneakers, a satisfied smile on his face.

As expected, compared to Henry's natural speed, it requires day-to-day training to achieve sufficient results.

Quaresma's outside-of-the-foot talent is something he can master more quickly.

Similar to what Pat Rice said, it's because he has a very high sense of the ball and knows which part, angle, and power to use to strike the ball.

"Keep going, keep going!" Qin Ming was intrigued.

However, they failed to score again in the first half.

"During halftime, I'd like to explain to our fans the origin of Everton's nickname."

"In 1905, Everton signed the outstanding winger Bert Placy, but he often caused dissatisfaction among the managers due to his tardiness."

"On one occasion, when Plessy was late again, the head coach left him standing around."

This made Plessy rather embarrassed, so he asked the coach what he could do, and the coach casually replied: "You can go eat toffee."

"This phrase was later misinterpreted and became the team's nickname."

"."

In South Korea, "toffee" is similar to "maltose" in that it means "go to hell".

After the Asian Cup ended last year, when the South Korean players arrived at Incheon Airport, they were greeted by more than 200 fans and reporters. Among them, some people took out a handful of toffee and threw it at the South Korean players, whom they considered a disgrace.

Zhan Jun also saw the news, and he was quite moved at the time.

After the start of the second half.

Arsenal continued to play possession-based football, maintaining a perfect overall tempo.

He clearly received instructions from Wenger.

The opportunity arose quietly in the 62nd minute of the match.

Sanchez played the perfect role of a workhorse, cutting inside after getting past Baines and passing the ball to Cazorla.

After McCarthy knocked him down, the ball rolled toward Gustavo.

The Brazilian defensive midfielder knew Qin Ming too well, and without stopping the ball, he sent a through pass, the ball gliding between Coleman and Stones.

With his powerful explosiveness, Qin Ming caught up with the football in just a few steps.

Stones couldn't keep up with him.

Robles made a decisive move, without any hesitation.

"The far corner is completely visible!"

Qin Ming spotted the space in a flash.

What's the difference between him in March and in February?
Calm.

After the template integration reached 100%, he achieved the level of peak Ronaldinho and gained more control over the football.

*Thud!* A seemingly casual push with the right foot, appearing slow but actually very fast.

It refers to the movement of weaving in and out while dribbling the ball.

0-2! ! !

Arsenal extend their lead!
Qin Ming scores twice!

In the away stands, the fan cosplaying Leatherface couldn't get his chainsaw model through security, so he could only wave a flag back and forth.

It also roars from time to time, just like a killer in a movie.

The nearby fans were not afraid at all; instead, they put their arms around his shoulders and took photos with him, as the Arsenal players were enjoying the fun of football.

Qin Ming was the same.

His dynamic dance performance gave football a different meaning beyond just winning and losing.

"Come!" Qin Ming invited his teammates to come together.

Strive for success in adversity, and enjoy football in good times.

He finds football increasingly interesting.

Arsenal players danced along, with Sanchez dancing the most enthusiastically, making it hard to believe that he was once a complete sullen guy.

Giroud also danced happily.

Actually, he's been under a lot of pressure lately. The indifference of his family, Wenger's reprimands, the looks from his teammates, and so on, have kept him awake at night.

He also knew he was wrong.

Those things cannot be forgiven by simply saying a few words.

However, he also knew that one should look forward, and he would prove through his actions that he was truly repentant.

Lukaku, watching from afar, had an expression of envy on his face.

Coleman and Stones gave a wry smile.

They're different from people like Rüdiger, who want to hurt their opponents after being beaten.

Looking at Qin Ming's boundless energy, they not only felt genuine admiration but also recalled their own childhood days playing football.

Most people who become professional athletes are passionate about the sport.

finally.

The match ended with Everton losing 1-3 to Arsenal.

Qin Ming scored twice, while Giroud got lucky.

Everton's goal was scored by Lukaku, after Cazorla was knocked down by McCarthy, falling to the ground in pain on his right ankle.

The referee did not blow the whistle.

Stones delivered a precise long pass, finding Lukaku who wasn't yet overweight.

The little monster scored a solo goal.

Qin Ming was very disappointed when he saw it; he thought Lukaku would miss the shot, just like he did with the national team.

The Guardian: Arsenal midfielder Santi Cazorla is reportedly sidelined for at least a month to recover from a recurring right ankle injury, and his return to the team is uncertain.

Qin Ming saw the news online and really wanted to have a cigarette.

But he still held back.

Although there are many heavy smokers in the football world, including some famous ones such as Cruyff, Gascoigne, Sheringham, and Zidane, etc.

However, while some modern professional athletes still smoke, they are generally not addicted.

Unlike Cruyff and others who consumed at least 20 sticks a day.

The reasons are simple: professional standardization and the fact that smoking is indeed harmful.

For example, Szczesny, who was exiled by Wenger.

He was caught smoking, but he showed no remorse and even said: "My lung capacity is always up to standard."

That's right.

Performance on the field is the only true judge.

This statement is true for players.

"But I'm also Shenzhen's No-Smoking Ambassador." Qin Ming picked up a can of sugar-free cola and gulped it down.

It's surprising to think that Cazorla will be out for a month, meaning he won't be able to return until early April.

He was still quite sad.

After all, he and Cazorla had excellent chemistry and their personalities were very compatible.

"Then I might have to play as an attacking midfielder again."

Qin Ming thought about it carefully and realized that there weren't many players in the team who could play as an attacking midfielder. Besides Cazorla, there were only Ramsey and Arteta.

However, their effectiveness as attacking midfielders is generally limited.

With limited organizational skills and insufficient energy, I have to do it myself.

The next day, during a team meeting.

Qin Ming proved his idea right when he played as an attacking midfielder in the next FA Cup match against Watford.

3 month 13 day.

FA Cup sixth round.

Arsenal host Watford at the Emirates Stadium.

After an eight-day break, the Gunners did not go all out, but instead rotated some players.

Mainly the midfield and defense.

The defenders Chambers, Mertesacker, Gabriel and Gibbs lined up in a row.

The defensive midfielders are Coquelin and Gustavo.

The attacking lineup remains unchanged.

"After winning the EFL Cup, Arsenal are now on their way to the FA Cup!"

"By the way, Arsenal won the first two FA Cup titles. If they can defend their title again, it will be a three-peat in the FA Cup!"

"Let's see if they can successfully advance to the semifinals!"

The 10th minute of the game.

Qin Ming, positioned as an attacking midfielder, made a forward run, received the ball, and fired a shot into the net.

However, the play was ruled invalid because the player was offside.

"It's different from the flanks; the surrounding situation is more complex, and there are more things to pay attention to."

Qin Ming thought to himself.

In the following matches, he began to learn to adjust.

Playing as an attacking midfielder is definitely more difficult than playing as a winger.

This is a consensus in the football world. After all, attacking midfielders have a lot of space when they have the ball and face many defenders. They need to make the most advantageous judgment for the team in the shortest possible time.

It requires a relatively high level of vision and footwork.

Fortunately, the coach adjusted the tactics before the match, making Qin Ming not only an attacking midfielder, but also a shadow striker.

The 25th minute of the game.

Watford full-back Aké broke through on his own but was dispossessed by Chambers, the young talent who joined Arsenal last season and Arsenal's second manager.

"Keep moving forward!" Qin Ming shouted, waving his hand.

Chambers has had very few appearances this season, so he was a little insecure when he got the ball, but after hearing Qin Ming's voice, he still decisively dribbled forward.

This move prevented him from being immediately surrounded and tackled by Watford players.

"Chambers found space to pass the ball and laid it off to Qin Ming!"

"Ak is chasing back very fast!"

"Wow! Qin Ming dribbled at high speed and even nutmegged Aké!"

"Shoot directly from this distance!"

"Pantilimon made the save, things are chaotic in the penalty area! Sanchez gets a shot off!"

"Have it!"

Zhan Jun watched with delight as the score was changed.

In fact, he felt that given Arsenal's current situation, competing on three fronts was almost impossible, and the best course of action was to decisively abandon the FA Cup.

However, the schedule in March is not particularly tight.

In the Champions League, they had a significant advantage with two away goals against Benfica.

Only Tottenham Hotspur poses a threat in the league.

If Arsenal advances in the Champions League, the schedule will become much more difficult in April or May.

Beep-beep-beep!
"Match ends! Arsenal defeat Watford 2-0 at home, advancing to the FA Cup semi-finals!"

Sanchez scores twice!

"Qin Ming wasn't very lucky today; he hit the crossbar twice in a row!"

"Vydra's Reading is currently leading the FA Cup scoring charts with six goals!"

"Qin Ming is in third place with four goals!"

Indeed, if Arsenal fails to win the league title, relying solely on the Community Shield and EFL Cup victories will not be a satisfactory result for the management.
