Football: Starting from the Ronaldinho template

Chapter 271 I Don't Want the Future, I Want the Present! Community Shield vs. Manchester City! A Mid-Air Bull Tail!

2016 8 Month 8 Day.

There is a warm-up event before the start of the Premier League season.

Community Shield Cup.

It features the league champions against the FA Cup winners, namely Arsenal and Manchester City.

Guardiola, who took over Manchester City last season, ultimately did not end up like he did at Bayern Munich, failing to win any of the four major trophies.

At least they won the FA Cup.

Moreover, the financial backers behind Manchester City still trust him and provide him with substantial financial support, allowing him to indulge in a buying spree.

Stones, with his more than 50 million dollars, is the best proof of this.

If you say he's really worth that much money, other center-backs would probably disagree; his household registration alone adds at least ten million.

Even Arsenal, the treble winners, couldn't beat Manchester City.

At the pre-match press conference.

Wenger led Qin Ming to the interview area, intending to gradually introduce Qin Ming to the public.

why?
Modern football is no longer like it was thirty years ago, where simply fighting hard on the field could make you a Ballon d'Or winner.

Popularity has become just as important.

Moreover, a player who can stand on his own must learn to utilize the media.

Qin Ming had spoken with the professor yesterday, and he was happy with this arrangement.

"The players performed very well in the pre-season friendlies and warm-up matches, which I think is a good sign. I believe we will achieve new breakthroughs in the new season."

Wenger told reporters this.

"Mr. Wenger, does the new breakthrough refer to the Champions League title?"

Reporters in the audience pressed for answers.

Wenger smiled but did not answer; instead, he glanced at Qin Ming.

Reporters followed closely with their eyes and cameras.

"Cough cough."

After testing the microphone and confirming it worked, Qin Ming stated his goal in a sharp tone.

"That's right. For our team, we've won too many league titles, Community Shields, EFL Cups, and FA Cups. We need to reclaim the Champions League title we missed out on ten years ago!"

Before the reporters could ask any questions, he continued softly, "For me personally, breaking the Europa League goal record was two years ago. Now my goal is the Champions League goal record!"

Unlike other players who are humble, he laid bare his inner thoughts in front of the flashing cameras.

"In an interview after the European Championship, Cristiano said, 'I am the most complete and greatest player in history. No one can compare to me.'"

A reporter from The Sun started stirring things up, asking, "If you want to break the Champions League goal record, you have to break his record first. What do you think of that statement?"

“Leo and Cristiano both have extremely high status and influence, and I have the utmost respect for them.”

Qin Ming's words disappointed the reporters, who thought he was scared and backing down.

But then he changed the subject, and a serious look appeared in his eyes as he looked into the camera. "People always say the future is mine, but I don't want to wait that long. What I want is now."

The reporters gasped at the words, their fingers flying across their notebooks, each cold word seemingly imbued with a powerful desire to conquer.

Wenger pursed his lips but did not stop him.

It's a good thing for young people to have ambition, and he believes that Qin Ming now has the qualifications to challenge Messi and Ronaldo.

With twenty days left in the transfer window, do Arsenal still have any unfinished transfers?

The reporters felt a bit pressured and turned to Wenger for more questions.

"No, our transfer budget has been used up, and we also need to consider the player salary structure."

Wenger didn't throw out any smokescreens; he felt there was no need.

Another conference room.

“Building a new system is not something that can be accomplished in a short time. I completed half of it last season, and I will continue to move forward this season.”

"The newly signed players will give Manchester City fans a surprise."

"We will certainly do our best to win the Community Shield and have a great start to the new season."

Guardiola's head gleamed with confidence.

After Qin Ming and Wenger returned to the locker room, he looked at the familiar surroundings and people and said with a smile, "Sometimes I find it quite amazing. We were here last season, only as FA Cup champions."

Aside from a few newcomers like Kanté, everyone couldn't help but reminisce.

In that match against Chelsea, they secured the Community Shield title with a hard-fought victory.

Mourinho even threw the medal to the Arsenal fans.

Then they started a dream new season, taking the top spot after the fourth round of the league, only to be overtaken by Manchester City during that period, before returning to the top after Christmas.

They led the pack until the end of the season.

"I'm turning 20 next month, so guys, you guys better do your best today and help me win a trophy as a birthday present."

Qin Ming's position in Arsenal is not only that of a core player in the tactical system, but he has also gradually become the Gunners' spiritual leader.

That is, the captain's armband was not worn on his left arm.

"WOW!"

Morata yelled, "We must crush Manchester City today!"

Of the eleven positions on the football field, the center forward is the most adept at navigating interpersonal relationships; in fact, Qin Ming has encountered almost all of them.

Gao Lin, Dost, and Giroud, and now we have to add Morata.

When Morata first joined Arsenal, he brought a gift for everyone and even rented a house near Qin Ming.

He would visit them every day when he had nothing else to do to maintain their relationship.

The two are quite familiar with each other now. In contrast, Kanté is diligent and conscientious, completing his daily training with high quality and quantity, and also seeking out a strength and conditioning coach for extra training.

"Alvaro, since you've chosen the number 7 jersey, you have to be at your best!"

Bellerin, who was standing next to him, laughed.

He and Morata are teammates on the Spanish national team, so their relationship goes without saying.

"rest assured!"

Morata patted his chest and made a guarantee.

Arsenal's number 7 jersey can't compare to those of Manchester United or Real Madrid, but the players who wore it are also very famous.

George Armstrong, Liam Brady, and others; the previous owner was Rosicky.

Rosicky has returned to the club where he started his career.

Sparta Prague.

"take it easy."

Qin Ming noticed that Kante was taking deep breaths. "I rarely lose possession of the ball, so you won't be under too much pressure."

"You can dribble the ball with confidence. Even if the opponent steals it, I will do my best to get it back."

Kante's emotional intelligence is truly worrying.

Qin Ming laughed upon hearing this, "Then I won't be going back to defend!"

"It's okay, I can do it!" Kant took it seriously and nodded vigorously.

After greeting De Bruyne, Qin Ming and his teammates walked out of the tunnel.

Wow! The cheers at Wembley Stadium hit the hearts of Arsenal and Manchester City players like a hammer blow.

Inside the broadcast room.

Let's take a look at the starting lineups for both teams!

"Arsenal continue with last season's 4-2-3-1 formation, goalkeeper:"

"With all three newcomers starting, Wenger probably wants to give them experience, since the Community Shield isn't exactly a very prestigious title."

"But all three have experienced major competitions. Kanté, as Leicester City's defensive midfielder, is the complete opposite of Kanté from the Thunder. Last season, his interception and tackle statistics were both ranked in the top two in the Premier League."

"Moreover, his role cannot be fully reflected in the numbers. His tireless running and clever positioning make him stick to his opponents like glue."

"Let's take a look at Manchester City's starting lineup. Guardiola had the same idea and also chose new players."

"Joe Hart, who was not good at passing the ball, was sold and replaced by Barcelona's goalkeeper Bravo."

"Last season, Bravo had the highest pass completion rate among the top five European leagues, at 84.3%, and was also the second-highest save percentage in La Liga."

Zhan Jun believes that today's match will be extremely exciting.

Studio.
-
Arsenal's financial resources give them a significant advantage; on paper, they even have the upper hand over Manchester City!
-
Have you noticed that both teams' full-backs seem rather average, with no particularly famous ones?
-
Bellerin and Meng Lei seem to be doing alright.
-
[Excellent full-backs are just as rare as center-backs in football right now; there are only a handful like Carvajal, Juanfran, Danilo, and Alves.]
-
Bellerin is consistently ranked in the top ten by Sky Sports.
-
The key is that Monreal and Qin Ming are a good match.
-
Arsenal's squad has both strength and possession-based football; their ambition to contend for the Champions League title is not just empty talk.
-
Go Qin Ming!

【.】

Wembley Stadium.

Beep! ! !
With the sound of a whistle, the match began.

The two teams, both focused on possession, played a somewhat boring game; twenty minutes into the first half, no goals had yet been scored.

But the intensity of the competition was by no means low.

The offense and defense shifted very quickly.

"De Bruyne's signature long diagonal pass! Sane is running very fast on the wing, Monreal can't keep up!"

"Huh! Oh! Kanté! Where did Kanté, wearing number 35, come from?"

"He got the ball back!"

At Wembley Stadium, Qin Ming witnessed this scene and was reminded of his past self, who was always being dispossessed by Kanté from his blind spots.

If it weren't for his long legs, he probably wouldn't have been able to handle it.

"Look here! Look here!" Qin Ming shouted as he turned and ran forward, afraid that Kant wouldn't know.

Kanté was also aware of his weaknesses.

At Leicester City, he was a purely defensive midfielder, not good at making runs or long passes.

So he developed a habit.

After intercepting the ball, look up and observe the positions of your teammates.

Snap! He sent the football forward, right into Qin Ming's running path.

The only problem is that the lead time was a bit too large.

As Qin Ming arrived, Sania also came.

The two are old rivals.

Qin Ming stopped the ball in mid-air, luring Sagna to take a shot.

Don't be fooled?
Sania has suffered too many losses; how could she possibly repeat them?

Then I won't be polite. Qin Ming's right foot made a cow tail shape in the air, as if threading a needle to embroider.

"What the hell!"

This is not only Sagna's sentiment, but also the fans' opinion.

Is the ground no longer enough for you?
Now Sanjaya had no choice but to make a tackle, or rather, he couldn't control his body and instinctively followed up to steal the ball.

[Davor Suker's golden left foot (95%)!]

With a ball control comparable to his right foot, Qin Ming executed a pinpoint maneuver, nutmegging Saga and sending him sprawling to the ground.

Guardiola, just a few meters away, was swaying slightly, as if his center of gravity had crumbled.

Wenger even grinned, which was out of character for him.

The fans in the stands didn't even have time to react; in the blink of an eye, Qin Ming had already shaken off Sagna.

"What kind of operation is this?!"

"We'll watch the replay later, let's watch this attack first!"

"Qin Ming cuts inside to the mid lane, huh?! What's Morata doing?"

Unlike Giroud, Morata, despite being 189cm tall and considered a center forward on the field, has exceptional mobility.

However, his flaws are also quite obvious.

They are relatively weak in physical confrontations, and their ability to receive the ball with their back to the goal and their ability to organize and connect the ball are also poor.

However, this is exactly the kind of unconventional center forward Wenger wanted.

Perhaps Morata himself didn't realize that his runs disrupted Manchester City's defense, subconsciously drawing Otamendi's attention.

"Watch out for his long-range shot!"

De Bruyne knows Qin Ming too well; given the space and angle, he would definitely take a shot.

A cacophony of sounds surrounded my ears.

Qin Ming's eyes were fixed on the upper right corner of the goal, and with a twist of his waist, he dribbled the ball to the middle!
Bang! The exaggerated arc, accompanied by the sound of wind breaking, gave the Copa America Golden Glove winner, the former Barcelona's "Bronze Wall," a jolt of spirit.

At 183cm tall, his wingspan is average, but his advantage lies in his quick reaction speed.

With a flick of the fingertip.

Clang! The football deflected off the goalpost and bounced towards Morata in front of him.

"Why do both my feet feel so awkward?!"

Morata felt as if he were holding a knife in his left hand and a fork in his right.

But shooting feels awkward, and passing feels awkward too!
He hadn't forgotten who Arsenal's star player was; his gaze swept past the onrushing Otamendi and turned back to Qin Ming at the edge of the penalty area.

Snapped!
An imaginative backheel flick!
"Awesome!" Qin Ming thought Morata was going to shoot, and he was prepared for the opponent to miss.

I didn't expect this kid to be so savvy.

He strode forward to meet the ball and deftly pushed it to the left.

In!

1-0! ! !

Bravo's two consecutive saves were useless; this time, there was no goalpost to save him.

Wembley Stadium was boiling like a kettle.

"Yeah!!!" Arsenal fans raised their hands in celebration, releasing their passion.

They're going to defend their Community Shield title!
"In the 32nd minute of the match, the Gunners broke the deadlock!"

"Let's watch the full replay of this goal!"

"He touched the ball continuously in the air, so fast that it was hard to see even in slow motion. Qin Ming used his feet to weave a phantom, orchestrating a spectacular dribble in his own unique way!"

"Morata's choice was also very rational. He noticed that Bravo was approaching him and Otamendi was ready to block him at any time. He then brilliantly flicked the ball with his heel!"

"No wonder he's a center worth over 40 million!"

Zhan Jun excitedly explained.

At Wembley Stadium, the fans, still reeling from the shock, stared at the Arsenal players with bewildered expressions.

"Alvaro, you're here. Santi, you sit down below. N'Golo, you're in the back."

Qin Ming directed his teammates methodically.

During the preseason warm-up, in addition to training, they also practiced a lot of celebration moves.

For example, this one now.

"I am coming!"

Once his teammates formed a "human bicycle," Qin Ming jumped onto Morata's back and placed his feet on Cazorla's hands.

Then I started cycling in the real sense.

Arsenal fans burst into laughter.

What is enjoyment?

This is!
It wasn't just a beautiful goal, but also an unforgettable celebration.

Isn't that how football should be?

The Manchester City players couldn't help but laugh along.

no way.

Even though they were opponents and Qin Ming had scored a goal against them, they still found the scene before them amusing.

"Playing football with Qin must be fun, right?"

Sterling asked quietly in a low voice.

“Yes.” De Bruyne recalled his time at Wolfsburg, and after a moment, smiled and nodded.

Sterling looked on with envy.

He felt happy playing football, but he just couldn't reach Qin Ming's level.

"How can I do this?" Sterling muttered to himself.

"You might not be happy if you score the goals you're supposed to, but I will be very happy."

De Bruyne's sarcastic remark made Sterling scratch his head and chuckle awkwardly.

If Qin Ming's happiness is based on scoring goals, then his happiness is based on not scoring goals.

That's what fans on Twitter are saying.

I'll score in a minute!

Sterling made a solemn promise.

De Bruyne let it go in one ear and out the other; he was genuinely terrified of Sterling.

On the sidelines. "Qin's technique is still improving, especially his timing for switching between his left and right feet, which is better than before."

Pat Rice has a different focus.

"I can no longer see his limits."

Wenger exclaimed in admiration.

He inexplicably thought of Henry, and his time at Highbury, where Henry, with his agile dribbling and thunderous goals, ushered in an era of speed and passion for Arsenal.

A true king of guns.

During his time at the Emirates Stadium, Qin Ming became Arsenal's trademark, his dazzling skills and infectious footwork like a cool sea breeze.

This infused Arsenal with a different soul.

the other side.

Guardiola rubbed his bald head, pondering where the tactics had gone wrong.

Kanté.

Arsenal's defensive midfielder covers a coverage area that Gustavo and Arteta cannot match, and his defensive awareness is outstanding.

I just predicted Sane's breakthrough.

And then there's Qin Ming, whose three-dimensional ball-handling strategy left Sagna completely helpless.

but it does not matter.

Conceding a goal was expected, given their sharp attack.

Just as Guardiola was pondering, the situation on the field changed; Manchester City was no pushover.

After its evolution, the strikerless formation is now better able to penetrate enemy lines.

A series of touches rang out as De Bruyne seized the opportunity to play a through ball, and Sterling passed it across to Aguero.

He was once even closer than Messi to becoming Maradona's successor.

why?
Because he is Maradona's son-in-law, Aguero, who was playing for Atletico Madrid at the time, was called up for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

At that time, the head coach of the Argentine national team happened to be Maradona.

If you said there was no connection, probably no one would believe you.

The two just couldn't stay together until the end. After all, how could two people who were both so promiscuous possibly spend their whole lives together?
The shot shows Aguero dribbling the ball and sprinting.

Van Dijk wasn't watching the football; instead, he was staring at Aguero.

He likes to put pressure on the player with the ball in this way.

Aguero made several feints, looking for space to shoot.

Unfortunately it's of no use.

Van Dijk isn't buying it.

But Manchester City's attacking tactics were one after another.

Sterling made a quick forward run, Gundogan moved up in position, and as Van Dijk retreated, Aguero seized the opportunity to pass the ball.

"Gundogan chips a pass from outside the penalty area!"

"Sané volleys the ball, Cech misses, Manchester City equalize!"

"Pretty!"

"The two teams were evenly matched in the first half, and of course, many problems were exposed during this intense game!"

"I actually think this is a good thing!"

"Identifying and resolving problems before the start of the upcoming Premier League season will allow them to have a smoother start!"

"Zhan Jun said."

After scoring, Sané passionately slid his knees several meters, but the fans' reaction was somewhat lukewarm.

After seeing Qin Ming's creative ideas, they simply couldn't muster any interest in these ordinary celebratory gestures.

"Be careful on the flanks, they're used to making forward runs."

Van Dyke hesitated for a moment before finally offering his reminder.

"No, no, you can't keep retreating. We need to push forward and shrink their space."

Mertesacker has a different opinion.

"What do you think, Ngorongoro?"

Qin Ming looked at Kanté.

Having differing opinions within the team isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Progress is often accompanied by contradictions.

"When marking men, stick close to them. First, get the midfield defense in place so the back line won't be under pressure."

Kanté is usually a rather shy person, but he can say a few words on the field.

"Okay! Let's leave it at that for now. We'll put it into practice later. We're a new lineup, so we need time to gel. Don't put too much pressure on yourselves!"

Qin Ming made the decision immediately.

The other teammates also agreed with Qin Ming's statement.

The match ended shortly after it restarted.

The two teams returned to the locker room with a 1-1 score. Wenger pulled out his tactical board and said:
"We still didn't manage the distance between the three lines well. Remember that communication is essential on the court, and you need to learn to communicate with your teammates."

I had a similar problem when I first came to Arsenal.

Now it's the turn of the newcomers.

Van Dijk and Kanté both said they would be careful, while Morata stood up straight, just like a Young Pioneer in elementary school.

He thinks so.

Wenger struck him as being like a university professor.

Teachers generally prefer obedient students.

Qin Ming secretly chuckled to himself, thinking that Morata had quite the inner monologue.

"The reason we need to push our defensive line forward is because of our two defensive midfielders."

Wenger gestured with his hand.

His 191cm height made him look incredibly out of place standing next to Kanté.

Kirkland isn't tall either.

This gives the opponent an objective opportunity to get past their defensive midfield line through lob passes, long passes, and other means.

Therefore, Mertesacker and Van Dijk, the two center-backs, need to step up in time.

"Let's talk about the offensive end."

Wenger looked at Qin Ming and said, "Qin, if you have the chance, you can play with Alvaro and take advantage of the space created by Manchester City's high press to launch a fast attack from the back."

In the various data tests before the season, Qin Ming's explosive speed did not change much, but his average speed in the 100 meters improved significantly.

Especially in the middle and later stages.

It made Wenger feel as if he saw Henry, that lightning-fast figure.

Therefore, Arsenal also made tactical adjustments.

"I will keep Manchester City's center-backs occupied!" Morata shouted in a loud voice.

His weakness in physical confrontations means he needs someone to cooperate with him, preferably a speedy striker.

"Hmm!" Qin Ming was wondering whether to target Stones or Otamendi.

The second half of the game began after halftime.

Both teams made some adjustments.

"It's clear that Wenger and Guardiola aren't too concerned about winning the title; they're more interested in using this opportunity to make adjustments before the season starts!"

"Arsenal's three defensive lines are more solid, making it very difficult for Manchester City to penetrate!"

"Manchester City's immediate counter-pressing was also very sharp, making it difficult for Arsenal to pass the ball out, and the turnover of possession became faster and faster!"

“This is an opportunity!”

When Gundogan tried to repeat his old trick, using Kante's height disadvantage to lob the ball to Sane.

Van Dijk appeared like a wall, heading the ball away halfway through the game.

The diminutive Kanté struggled to carry De Bruyne and passed the ball to Coquelin, who was on the left side to receive it.

The latter heeded Wenger's teachings.

Lean forward and launch a long pass!
Snap! The camera followed the ball from the backfield to the frontfield, then dropped to the back of Manchester City's defense.

What were Cruyff's principles?
Expand the space when attacking, and shrink the space when defending.

Adjustments during the transition between offense and defense are particularly important.

But this is a problem that plagues the whole world, and even someone as brilliant as Guardiola can only solve it by pushing the defensive line forward.

Thierry Henry's speed (87%)

During the off-season, Qin Ming didn't just play around every day. Whether in the United States, France, or elsewhere, he always maintained his training.

Moreover, during his time in the United States, the enhanced scientific training system greatly improved Thierry Henry's speed talent.

After passing Morata, Qin Ming continued walking.

"call!!!"

The gentle breeze that was initially blowing in your face becomes stronger with the added speed.

Qin Ming exhaled scorching gas and charged towards Stones, who had turned around, like a cheetah.

"careful!"

Otamendi exclaimed.

Stones couldn't see what was behind him, but a strong sense of oppression suddenly enveloped him.

He held his breath, trying to pass the ball back to Bravo.

Qin Ming didn't give Stones a chance to touch the ball, and suddenly burst into a second burst of acceleration!
His sneakers swished as they stepped into the grass, propelling him forward.

He got it. The sensation from Qin Ming's foot prompted him to make his next move, gently bumping into Stones.

Bang! Stones was already supporting himself on one leg when he was hit from behind during the movement.

The balance collapsed instantly.

The referee crossed his arms, indicating that there was no foul.

Otamendi had no time to appeal and charged toward Qin Ming with all his might, but Qin Ming showed no signs of slowing down and dribbled straight toward Bravo.

The Chilean goalkeeper, nicknamed "Uncle Wall," has heard a lot of praise from Sanchez while playing for the national team.

Terms like "unbeatable chip shot," "superb ball control," and "exquisite ball feel" are used to describe this.

When I was listening to it, I didn't think much of it, but when I faced Qin Ming head-on, a huge pressure surged into my heart.

However, he also practiced with Messi quite a bit.

He calmly analyzed Qin Ming's center of gravity, but Qin Ming didn't play games with him and changed direction at high speed.

It's not a small-scale event, but a large-scale one.

Bravo knew he was in trouble after his dive.

He bumped into Qin Ming's calf, causing the man to stumble and stagger.

After staggering two steps, Qin Ming used his waist and abdomen to maintain his balance, pushed the ball towards the empty goal, and it rolled a few times on the grass.

To make himself look less disheveled.

He silently got up, sat on the billboard, and crossed his arms.

What kind of feeling does a smiling expression give people?
Everything was under his control, including being tackled by Bravo and then celebrating like this.

"Luckily, the billboards are far away!"

In reality, only he himself knew that it was all a lie.

"How can he be so handsome?"

Morata opened his mouth wide.

Indeed, you can learn a lot from being teammates with outstanding people.

He silently memorized this move, waiting for the opportunity to replicate it in the future.

Meanwhile, the fans in the stands were already imitating them, crossing their arms and leaning against the railings, creating a striking scene.

"Qin is such a show-off!"

Cazorla thought of the dozen or so ways of celebration they had rehearsed over the past two weeks. He had assumed that Qin Ming had run out of ideas, but who knew that he could still come up with something new on the spot in such a complicated environment.

"This is so hard to learn."

After a long pause, Kanté finally managed to utter a sentence.

Some people can pull off a pretentious act with style, while others just end up looking like fools, like Bendtner.

Kanté felt that if he were to imitate it, he would most likely just be copying the cat.

He should just stick to defense.

If the Arsenal players were this shocked, the Manchester City players must have been even more astonished.

Bravo was also shown a yellow card by the ruthless referee.

If an attack is advantageous and results in a goal, a yellow or red card should be issued as a consequence; this is a FIFA rule.

If Qin Ming had fallen to the ground, he might have received a red card.

Bravo accepted the penalty with a sense of frustration, turned around and looked at Qin Ming, who was still showing off, and felt that he was extremely unlucky.

In last season's Champions League quarter-finals, he was sidelined by Ter Stegen and spent two games on the bench.

The results of it?
Barcelona lost.

Now forced to flee to England, she still can't escape her predetermined fate and is used as a background character by Qin Ming.

"Arsenal took the lead again in the 60th minute of the second half!"

"That goal was very un-Arsenal-esque; it was just a simple long pass from the back, using Qin Ming's speed to launch a counter-attack!"

"What's that technical term called again?"

Zhan Jun brought up the topic.

"hey-hey!"

Zhang Lu smiled and said, "A dog carrying a frisbee!"

"When Ferguson was managing Manchester United, they were masters of this. They would receive the ball in the midfield and make long passes to the two wingers. After receiving the ball, the wingers would rely on their own skills to charge forward and eventually score a goal!"

"This tactic brought Manchester United many years of glory, but since Ferguson retired, subsequent managers either felt that the tactic was outdated, or they wanted to use it but were opposed by Manchester United fans!"

"With Mourinho taking over, they'll probably have to pick up this tactic again this season!"

Zhang Lu also mentioned Manchester United.

Arsenal's use of the "dog carrying frisbee" tactic really surprised Guardiola.

Wenger was also a little surprised.

“It works pretty well,” he said to Pat Rice in a strange tone.

“Our staffing is indeed suitable.”

Pat Rice nodded.

On the court, seeing the expressions on his teammates' faces, Qin Ming was completely satisfied.

It's always fun to show off, no matter when.

"Come on! Hat trick!" he cheered himself on.

If they can score a hat-trick in the Community Shield, that would be a great start, and they might even be able to reach 40 goals in the league next season.

"Go, go, go!"

Arsenal players were also infected, waving their arms and shouting.

After the game restarts.

Both sides continued to make adjustments, and after several substitutions, the situation became deadlocked.

Guardiola substituted Zabaleta for Sagna and Navas for Gundogan.

Wenger substituted Gustavo for Coquelin.

The former aims to test the strength of the flank defense, while the latter aims to find the best defensive midfield pairing to give Qin Ming the greatest tactical freedom.

With Sterling and Sané making repeated attacks.

Arsenal's two wingers dropped back, forcing Kante to cover everywhere.

Cazorla's form dipped later in the game, and he was replaced by Iwobi, a young Nigerian player promoted from the U21 team.

Arsenal's attacking players changed positions again.

Qin Ming plays as an attacking midfielder, Sanchez as a left winger, and Iwobi as a right winger.

The effect is good.

They created several threatening attacks, but unfortunately failed to score.

Beep-beep-beep!
In the end, the match ended with Arsenal defeating Manchester City 2-1, thus retaining their Community Shield title!
