Football: Starting from the Ronaldinho template

Chapter 254 Arsenal's Nemesis, the Gunners' Nightmare! Wenger's Memories! Another Battle Against Barcelona!
2016 4 Month 6 Day.

Emirates Stadium.

Crowds of people.

As the Barcelona team bus, emblazoned with the team crest, arrived, it drew loud shouts and cheers from Barcelona fans dressed in red and blue.

In fact, they have never won at the Emirates Stadium.

But today, they are filled with absolute confidence, determined to defeat Arsenal once again and shatter the Gunners' Champions League dreams.

In the meantime, a victory would sweep away the gloom of losing the Spanish derby.

On the bus, seeing that Messi was almost finished with his mate tea, Rakitic quickly took it over to refill it.

Who is the world's number one fan of Mei Lanfang?

He should take the lead without hesitation.

"Rio, people say you're Arsenal's nightmare. You've scored six goals and have one assist so far."

Rakitic placed the cup in front of Messi, sat down next to him familiarly, and said, "I believe you can score a goal today too."

"Hopefully."

Messi rubbed his calf. He had been tackled by Ramos during the match against Real Madrid. Although Ramos received a red card, Messi couldn't completely avoid the tackle.

Although the examination showed no major problems, there was still slight pain.

I don't know if I can make it through today.

"Hey, what's so scary about Arsenal? Why are you all so serious?"

Pique played for Manchester United in his early years, coinciding with Wenger's construction of stadiums and player sales, so he won more than he lost.

After returning to Barcelona, ​​he won several more matches against Arsenal.

Therefore, he believes that even though Arsenal are currently first in the Premier League, they will eventually be able to secure a place in the semi-finals.

"Dani, the Arsenal number 10 who's getting a lot of hype online, give him a real challenge today."

Pique always seems to have a strange sense of superiority.

"I will be careful."

Alves plays as a full-back, so he naturally knows Qin Ming's performance and his level.

He even thought he was seeing another Ronaldinho when he watched Qin Ming's highlights.

However, he wasn't too worried.

Because he plays on the same right wing as Messi, he understands Messi's value better than his national team teammate Ronaldinho.

When Messi has the ball, he is a unique presence on the field.

Arsenal's flanks will be completely shut down by them.

Suarez looked at the familiar pitch, where he always performed well against Arsenal when he was at Liverpool.

Now, revisiting this place again, I feel excited once more.

Then he ground his teeth.

"Luis, I heard that when you were negotiating the transfer, Arsenal offered 4000 million plus 1 pound?"

"Pique asked."

"This is a bit complicated," Suarez said, reluctant to discuss it.

His contract at the time included a clause that Liverpool had to release him if the offer exceeded 4000 million.

Arsenal made this ridiculous offer in order to test the authenticity of this clause.

It turned out that this clause was not in the contract at all.

Seeing this, Pique didn't ask any more questions.

Enrique turned his gaze away from the statue. His goal for this season was clear: to defend his Champions League title and strive to replicate last season's glory.

Therefore, even knowing that the Champions League was approaching, he still fielded his strongest lineup against Real Madrid.

Qin Ming, on another bus, saw the red and blue lights from a distance, and his heart began to race.

They can play against last season's Champions League winner and Ballon d'Or winner.

It's impossible not to be nervous.

But his nervousness was also excitement; it was the impulse to challenge the former champions and overthrow Barcelona.

Pre-match press conference.

"Barcelona are the favorites to win the Champions League. They are not perfect, but they are very close to that level."

"Therefore, all our players must be highly focused when facing Barcelona; only in this way will we have a chance to win."

"With conviction and confidence, we are ready."

Wenger held the microphone, his eyes filled with reminiscence.

The night in France during the 2005-06 season was a lifelong tragedy for him.

That was the closest he ever came to the pinnacle of his coaching career. Before the final, his team went 1005 minutes without conceding a goal in the Champions League, giving them a great chance to become the fifth team to win all three major European competitions.

Despite goalkeeper Lehmann being sent off just 18 minutes into the game for a foul on Eto'o on the edge of the penalty area, they took the lead in the 37th minute through a free kick.

His dream seems to have come true again.

Unfortunately, Rijkaard's team had a more complete squad and stronger overall strength. With the combined efforts of Ronaldinho, Eto'o, Deco, Iniesta, Belletti, and others, his Champions League dream was ultimately shattered.

He will never forget that day.

Now, ten years later, we meet Barcelona again.

The mood is very complicated.

"Mr. Wenger, where do you see the threat to Barcelona coming from?"

A reporter interrupted Wenger's recollection.

"Barcelona's biggest threat comes from their attacking duo."

Wenger never hesitates to praise others: "They are highly efficient, the best of the best. Every single one of them is a superstar, and the only way we can stop them is to unite and defeat them with collective strength and wisdom."

"If you were to compare Qin and Leo, who do you think is better?"

The reporter asked again.

“I’ve seen many great strikers, but I’ve never seen a Rio score 300 goals in 340 games.”

"He was unable to play due to injury when they faced Barcelona in the 2006 Champions League final, but that was already surprising. Now, 10 years later, he is still in great form."

After Wenger finished speaking, he changed the subject.

"If I remember correctly, he was 19 years old that year, and Qin was also 19 years old."

"I just said, 'I've never seen a performance like this before,' but Qin broke that statement this year."

"How should I put it? From the past to the present, among players of the same age in global football, no one has impressed me more than Qin Neng."

Wenger didn't give a clear answer, but everyone knew what he meant.

And that's where the topic comes from.
The reporters wrote furiously.

Another conference room.

Enrique actually looks down on Wenger a bit.

why?
He believed that Arsenal's tactical philosophy was plagiarized from Barcelona.

When asked about Wenger's 20 years managing Arsenal, he said: "My God! It's impossible for me no matter what. In today's football world, no coach could do it."

“I’m very radical on this issue; I will never sign a contract longer than six months. It will be cheap for the club, and they won’t spend too much when they fire a coach.”

"As a coach, if I can't help my team, there's no point in me being a coach."

"The future trend will also be towards shorter, better."

What did Enrique mean by that?
Is this a compliment to Wenger's excellence?
But the reporters, upon closer examination, discerned the underlying meaning in the words.

If he were Arsenal's manager, he would have left long ago after so many years without winning a title.

Instead of staying for so many years like Wenger.

"People say that 19-year-old Qin Bili is more outstanding. What do you think of this statement?"

The Sun reporter had barely settled down for a few days before he started causing trouble again.

“I’ve seen many talented young players, but they’ve all been gradually phased out by professional football. Only Rio has remained at the top.” Enrique didn’t give a direct answer, but his meaning was clear to everyone.

When Wenger returned to the locker room, he found Qin Ming giving a speech.

He leaned against the wall, listening attentively.

"Okay, let's stop mythologizing Barcelona too much, and let's stop mythologizing Messi too much!"

"Am I right?"

Qin Ming looked at Sanchez at the end of his sentence.

"Correct!"

Sanchez answered with great enthusiasm.

"People are saying they don't care if Messi can score goals, but how many goals he can score?"

"Peter, can you let him score and break the clean sheet record?"

"Nacho, you've been outmaneuvered in La Liga for so many years, today you have to contain him! The same goes for Francis!"

"As for me?"

"In the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final in 2010, 90,000 people at Camp Nou witnessed Messi score four goals. Today, I'll show you what I'm all about!"

Qin Ming's tone was exaggerated.

Actually, he noticed that his teammates were all too nervous, including Cazorla, Kirkland, and Monreal, so he thought of using this method to relieve their pressure.

Now I see them smiling.

The effect is quite good.

"They've never won at the Emirates Stadium before!"

Qin Ming extended his right hand, and after his teammates stepped up, he said, "It'll be the same from now on!"

"Arsenal!!!"

"Forward! Forward! Forward!"

Wenger looked at Qin Ming, who was surrounded by people, and thought to himself that he was becoming more and more responsible, while Arteta couldn't even get a word in edgewise.

This kid is developing in the direction of Arsenal's spiritual icon.

Wenger and Pat Rice exchanged glances and smiled knowingly.

That's the kind of team that's interesting to lead.

boom!
Qin Ming pushed open the locker room door and met the Barcelona players.

He naturally had nothing to say to the Barcelona players.

Bellerin was quite enthusiastic.

why?
Players who come through Barcelona's youth academy all seem to dream of playing for Barcelona.

For example, Cesc Fabregas.

Bellerin also hopes to return to Barcelona someday.

In the Barcelona squad, Messi, Neymar, and others all looked at Qin Ming.

As the hottest player in football this year, Qin Ming is just over 200,000 followers away from surpassing Messi on Twitter.

This indirectly demonstrates his popularity.

Neymar is envious. He feels that he played well and was good-looking during his two and a half years at Barcelona.

But he was always overshadowed by Messi.

In this world, who doesn't want to be the boss?
Seeing Qin Ming so impressive, not only the core of the team but also admired by countless people, he felt genuine envy.

Of course, besides envy, there were other emotions. When Messi was not in good form, he wanted to take his place and lead the team to defeat Arsenal with an absolutely outstanding performance.

This also proves that he is better than Qin Ming.

After all, in Brazilian football, the admiration for Qin Ming goes beyond the ordinary.

If it weren't for my Brazilian citizenship...

Neymar straightened his hair and took several deep breaths.

Qin Ming was unaware that he was receiving so much attention.

However, he didn't care. Whether it was Messi or Neymar, they were just outsiders to him.

Because he was destined to climb to the top while enjoying football.

Play against Barcelona, ​​play against Barcelona, ​​play against Bayern Munich, our team has collapsed!
The rousing Champions League theme song began to play.

Qin Ming looked up at the end of the passage, a faint light entered his eyes, and his feet even trembled slightly.

The challenger has to step in!
"Good evening, viewers!"

"We are now broadcasting live the first leg of the 2015-16 UEFA Champions League quarter-finals!"

Arsenal host Barcelona!

"The players from both teams have entered the field. Let me first introduce the starting lineups!"

"Wenger has opted for a 4-2-3-1 formation, goalkeeper:."

"Gustavo, who has been performing exceptionally well recently, is unavailable, so Wenger has opted for his old partnership of Ramsey and Coquelin!"

"Qin Ming has also returned to his familiar left winger position!"

"Looking at Barcelona's lineup, Enrique has deployed a 4-3-3 formation, with the goalkeeper as follows:"

"The starting lineup is the same as the one against Real Madrid, which shows that Barcelona attaches great importance to Arsenal and wants to gain an advantage away from home!"

After Zhan Jun finished speaking, he looked at the screen and found that the two teams were still guessing which side to choose.

So he continued his introduction.

"Looking at the history of the two teams, Barcelona is definitely Arsenal's biggest nemesis."

“从1999-00赛季小组赛开始，两队在欧冠比赛中7次相遇，阿森纳只是在2010-11赛季1/8决赛首回合主场2-1战胜过巴萨，随后又在客场被巴萨3-1逆转。”

"In 7 games, Barcelona scored a total of 17 goals and conceded 10."

"If Barcelona is Arsenal's nemesis, then Messi is Arsenal's nightmare."

"Since his first encounter with Arsenal in the 2009-10 season, Messi has scored 6 goals and provided 1 assist."

"In the second leg of the quarter-finals in the 2009-10 season, Messi scored four goals. Among them, his goal against Arsenal goalkeeper Almunia, which was acrobatic over the head and then shot, is considered to be one of the top ten goals of his career."

Even Zhan Jun couldn't help but feel sorry for Arsenal.

That's just too tragic.
-
[With Barcelona's lineup in place, it's hard to imagine how they could possibly lose!]
-
How did they lose to Real Madrid?
-
[If you asked someone who's just started watching football, they could recognize the entire Barcelona lineup, including MSN, Busquets, Iniesta, and so on.]
-
Arsenal isn't bad either.
-
[Just hope Messi doesn't throw up again. He ran 8 kilometers in the last game, hopefully he won't run 7 kilometers today?]
-
Does Messi need to run? He's not that kind of player; he just needs to dribble past opponents!
-
Barcelona's recent performance has been poor; the congested schedule and long journeys during international breaks have taken a toll on the players.
-
Arsenal have just caught up with the return of Cech and Cazorla from injury.
-
[And they didn't put in much effort against Watford, unlike Barcelona who battled Real Madrid for ninety minutes and still lost.]
-
I saw Vermaelen, Arsenal's former captain.
-
[Arsenal have money now, will they sell their captain?]
-
Let's win a major championship first, otherwise the financial pressure will remain high, and our results won't be impressive to the outside world.

The pinned post on Dongqiudi has received over 20,000 comments.

Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal won the kickoff at the referee's whistle.

Beep! ! !
Giroud kicked off and passed the ball across to Qin Ming, who then passed it back to Kirkland.

Surprisingly, Barcelona did not press high up the pitch.

"It seems that the physical fitness problem is indeed quite serious."

Qin Ming keenly perceived the problem with Barcelona.

Then there's no need to hesitate.

Try to score first in the first half and establish an advantage before making any further moves.

Barcelona fans quickly became bewildered.

They usually control the ball, while the opponents are pinned back in their own half.

How about we switch roles today?

When Qin Ming made a forward run and received the ball, he faced off against Alves.

Brazil is known for producing full-backs.

Cafu, Alves, Marcelo, and others were all renowned full-backs.
