Football: Starting from the Ronaldinho template

Chapter 273 UEFA Best Player Nominee! Champions League Draw Results, Griezmann's Provocation! League!

"All the top teams in the Premier League had plenty of preseason preparations, and there were no upsets in the second round of the league!"

"Manchester United under Mourinho easily defeated Southampton 2-0. Ibrahimovic, who was signed on a free transfer, scored twice. In a post-match interview, the Swede said he would compete for the Premier League Golden Boot this season!"

Manchester City beat Stoke City 4-1, with Aguero scoring twice, Sterling adding a goal, and De Bruyne providing two assists!

“利物浦1-0伯恩利，热刺1-0水晶宫，还有阿森纳3-0沃特福德，英超BIG6都拿到了三分！”

"."

Qin Ming watched the interview on TV and casually switched to another program.

Let's talk about Zlatan.

The Devil's Dictionary: Bits and Pieces of Zlatan

The program host was explaining Ibrahimovic's past, and from the perspective of these two books.

For example, the second book begins with the phrase "Air Zlatan," meaning "Zlatan flies, but never in first class or business class; Zlatan only flies in Zlatan cabin," and then moves to the verb "Zlataner," meaning "to take on something by force, to achieve a dominant position and a state of rule."

have to say.

When it comes to showing off, Ibrahimovic is probably unmatched in the football world.

"That's what true confidence is."

Qin Ming recalled his time with Bendtner two years ago. Bendtner was a man of pure confidence, but he didn't have the strength to match it.

"I came like a king, and I left like a legend."

The host recounted what Ibrahimovic said when he left Paris Saint-Germain.

Qin Ming, however, felt that Ibrahimovic hadn't done enough. What, then, is the standard for a legend?

No one can provide that.

But Qin Ming believes that in the world of football, one person playing for one city is legendary, and breaking a monopoly is legendary.
Ibrahimovic shouldn't be considered a legend in Paris Saint-Germain.

"During his time at Barcelona, ​​Ibrahimovic and Guardiola had a fierce conflict, which started with a car."

“Ibrahimovic drove his Ferrari to training, and Guardiola told him that this was not the Barcelona style. Due to commercial operations, the club prefers that the players drive more understated Audi cars from the sponsors.”

"This triggered a series of events, which ultimately led to him being benched."

"."

Qin Ming opened his phone and glanced at the news, only to find that his social media account had suddenly been flooded with comments from fans.

Anyway, we just want him to work harder and not let Ibrahimovic break the record and snatch the Premier League Golden Boot in the new season.

For Arsenal fans, the three most hated teams are Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, and Barcelona.

Therefore, even though Ibrahimovic has a lot of charisma, he won't be loved by the Gunners as long as he plays for Manchester United.

Qin Ming suddenly felt playful and posted a selfie.

In the photo, he is holding up four fingers.

What do you mean?
He scored four goals in two league matches.

It's competition.

He's only 20 years old, while Ibrahimovic is already 35.

What is there for him to be afraid of?

Just do it!

Before the start of the third round of the Premier League at the end of the month, Qin Ming's villa welcomed a group of guests.

UEFA staff.

"Qin, congratulations! You've been voted third in the first round of UEFA's Best Player in Europe poll by the media and journalists!"

Clive Powell, dressed in a black suit, extended his hand.

"Thank you. Shall we proceed with the interview first, or do we need to do some preparation first?"

Qin Ming laughed.

Previously, UEFA had contacted him and would conduct an exclusive interview with him before the awards ceremony.

This is something that all the top three players have to do.

"We'll set up the equipment first, please wait a moment."

Clive Powell gestured to the staff behind him to get to work.

Lighting panels, cameras, microphones, and so on were quickly placed in their positions.

"The second round of voting will be held on-site. The journalists who participated in the first round of voting will use electronic voting devices to determine the three seats in real time. In case of a tie, the one with the higher score in the first round of voting will be ranked first."

Cliff Powell explained first.

Finally, he smiled and asked, "What kind of year was 2016 for you?"

Qin Ming stared at the camera, lost in thought, as memories flooded back.

His departure from Wolfsburg to Arsenal was undoubtedly bittersweet, but the packed Premier League schedule and the pressure of the £90 million transfer fee kept him fully focused on the game.

I grew alongside the team and improved rapidly myself. After playing match after match, we finally won the treble.

"It's actually quite incredible, and I'm proud of my performance."

"But it seems there is still a lot of room for improvement."

"I will continue to work hard in the new season to strive for more honors and to enjoy the joy that football brings even more."

Qin Ming's answer was very official.

He still wanted to keep many things to himself, after all, he had too many secrets.

"So, a very popular topic lately is how you view your rivalry with Leo and Cristiano?"

Cliff Powell continued to ask.

"Yes, the competition between us is healthy. It makes us both stronger, and the media pays more attention to this kind of thing."

Qin Ming recalled that before he transmigrated, whenever the topic of Messi and Ronaldo came up, the comment section would inevitably explode.

Especially when paired with the music of "We Are Electric".

It directly sparked a Jurassic war, with all sorts of grotesque images flying around.

Some even say that anyone who can reconcile Messi and Ronaldo fans deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.

But now the situation in China has reversed.

Besides Messi and Ronaldo fans, his own fan base has surged, and he criticizes both of them, making him incredibly fierce.

But he really didn't want to get involved.

To be honest, having someone make scary pictures of you isn't just frightening, it's also incredibly embarrassing.

"Okay, what are your thoughts on the Champions League semi-final defeat?"

"That was a painful moment, but defeat makes you stronger, and that's football; we have to learn to look forward."

"."

The interview didn't last very long, ending in just over half an hour.

UEFA staff declined Qin Ming's invitation without stopping, as they needed to hurry back to prepare for the ceremony three days later.

8 month 26 day.

Qin Ming and Wenger arrived at the Grimaldi Conference Centre in Monaco.

As the lights shifted, the fragrance that filled the air seemed to evoke the allure of fame and fortune.

In the process of modern football becoming increasingly commercialized, the only difference from the world of fame and fortune is that it requires you to have sufficient ability.

Therefore, it can't be considered contaminated.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Qin Ming, and Griezmann, the three candidates, walked the red carpet.

The three of them hugged each other warmly.

However, the latter had a stiff expression. He had no goodwill towards China and was often influenced by public opinion, making some trashy remarks.

Moreover, he felt that among the three candidates for best player, why should Qin Ming be ahead of him?

Isn't being runners-up in the Champions League and winning the European Championship Golden Boot enough to rank second?
What Qin Ming has is nothing more than a Premier League champion, a Champions League semi-finalist, a Community Shield champion, and a League Cup champion. His performance in international and national team matches has been mediocre.

Griezmann grew angrier the more he thought about it.

Qin Ming didn't give Griezmann a friendly look either, as he was already unhappy about losing to Atletico Madrid.

Not to mention he knew what Griezmann did later.

Congratulations in advance!

Qin Ming shook hands with Cristiano Ronaldo.

As a former Manchester United fan, he naturally held Cristiano Ronaldo in high esteem.

"The results aren't out yet."

Ronaldo remained modest.

However, he also believes that he is the undisputed UEFA Player of the Year.

With 16 Champions League goals and the title of Champions League winner, there's no reason for them to lose.

"How is Alvaro doing on your end?"

Cristiano Ronaldo and Morata have a good relationship; they worked together during the 2012-13 season.

He also gave Morata an iPhone back then.

"He's doing pretty well. He scored a goal a few days ago. He just needs to improve his physical strength."

Qin Ming answered.

"The intensity of competition in the Premier League is quite high. I remember when I first went to Manchester United, I also had a long period of adjustment."

On the internet, Cristiano Ronaldo gives off an impression of being sharp and aggressive, but in private, Qin Ming finds him to be very talkative.

“I remember Sir Alex Ferguson had some teammates tackle me in the hopes of making me play less flashy, but now that you’re doing quite well in the Premier League, maybe I should have stuck to it back then.”

Cristiano Ronaldo shrugged.

During the seasons he sported that ramen noodle haircut, he definitely made showing off his skills his primary goal.

Young people can understand.

After all, he went from being a key player on a small island in Portugal to becoming a key player for Sporting CP, and then a key player for a top club.

How could they not be young and impetuous?
"Everyone has their own way of playing football, doesn't that prove you're on the right track?"

Qin Ming gestured towards the podium with his lips.

"You're right," Ronaldo said with a smile.

The two walked to the front row and sat down, leaving Griezmann isolated with a hint of anger in his eyes.

He felt that Qin Ming was being a bit pretentious.

Despite being defeated by them last season, they still act so arrogantly.

"I hope I can meet you guys again this season!" Griezmann thought bitterly to himself.

Why isn't Messi here this year?

Qin Ming didn't have the energy to pay attention to Griezmann, so he turned his head and looked around.

"Hey kid, I know what you're looking for."

"He didn't make it into the final three candidates, so he simply didn't come to the event."

A nonchalant voice rang out behind Qin Ming.

Qin Ming turned around and saw a slicked-back hairstyle and a short beard. Wasn't that the young Buffon?

"Hello."

Qin Ming extended his hand.

"I heard your father is a Serie A fan. I'll sign an autograph for you later."

Buffon shook hands with Qin Ming familiarly.

"Thank you then."

Qin Ming thought that after playing football for two seasons, he had collected a lot of autographs for his father. Even in the world of football collectors, he would be considered a big shot.
Because other people don't have their own resources.

"It's nothing," Buffon said warmly.

His actions were intended to build a good relationship with Qin Ming. Do you know what it means for a 20-year-old player to be among the top three in the UEFA Best Player rankings?

So terrifying.

Buffon was thinking how exciting it would be if Qin Ming left Arsenal and he could be lured to Juventus. He thought that he might be able to actually touch the Champions League trophy at the end of his career.

Not long after.

A veteran Portuguese sports journalist and presenter, he served as a sports anchor for CNN International for many years. He joined UEFA in 2015, where he was responsible for hosting the draws and award ceremonies for major events such as the Champions League and the European Championship.

Pedro Pinto enters the field.

"This season's Champions League has many unique aspects, such as Real Madrid being the defending champions and Leicester City participating for the first time in history."

"I think this will be an even more exciting edition."

"."

UEFA President Ceferin rambled on for a while longer.

The awards ceremony was just getting into the main event when, after a few flashes, the big screen began playing highlights of the three nominees' seasons.

Sports journalists from 53 European countries then cast a second vote.

When the screen displayed the vote counts, Qin Ming showed no surprise: "38, 8, 7".

He defeated Griezmann by a single vote.

Qin Ming chuckled to himself, glancing sideways at the neighbor next door.

Sure enough, Griezmann's jaw muscles bulged, and his suit sleeves trembled slightly; he looked extremely angry.

"Dude, you think I'm not good enough to put you down after breaking decades of Premier League goal-scoring records?"

Qin Ming thought to himself, feeling refreshed and invigorated.

The presenter was George Weah, the 1995 Golden Globe winner. He invited the three nominees to the stage and asked each of them a few questions.

"This is a team honor, thank you to my teammates."

"Winning both the Champions League and the European Championship is a dream come true, but I will continue to pursue more honors."

Cristiano Ronaldo said this.

"Congratulations to Cristiano, he deserves this award."

"How does it feel to get second place? I'm very happy. It shows that my hard work last season has been seen and recognized, which is very meaningful to me."

Qin Ming answered very casually.

"Losing in the Champions League and European Championship finals will spur me on to keep going."

Griezmann said, barely suppressing his displeasure.

After the UEFA Best Player award was presented, it was time for the UEFA Lifetime Achievement Award.

Klose.

The recently retired German center forward won the award.

Tap, tap, tap, tap!

Finally, the main event has arrived: the Champions League group stage draw!

UEFA General Secretary Gianni Infantino first announced which teams were in the four pots.

The defending champions are placed in a separate tier, while the rest are the league champions.

Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Arsenal, Bayern Munich, and so on.

Qin Ming glanced at the second-tier teams, including Atletico Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Manchester City, and Leicester City, and thought to himself that there might be a "group of death".

When Figo and Kaka went up to draw lots...

One by one, the small balls were broken apart, and Buffon even gave Qin Ming a lesson.

"Did you know that UEFA rehearsed the draw for the Round of 16 of the 2012 Champions League beforehand? The rehearsal result was exactly the same as the final draw result. The probability of this is only one in several thousand. Do you believe that this is just a coincidence?"

"Furthermore, former FIFA president Blatter revealed that he personally witnessed a draw cheating incident that occurred in Europe, where an Italian team changed the group assignments by altering the markings on the draw ball or the temperature of the ball."

"."

Qin Ming listened with great interest.

He'd never heard of such a juicy story before, and he didn't even know what kind of event it was.

But how can one cheat in front of hundreds of millions of people worldwide?

Through Buffon's explanation, he learned two methods. First, heating or cooling a specific ball to make its appearance and feel distinctly different from other balls.

Secondly, they manipulated the weight of the balls by using different materials to create significant weight differences in balls that looked the same.

Qin Ming searched for related information.

Some say that during the 2013 Champions League quarter-final draw, just before McManaman was about to draw the balls, UEFA General Secretary Gianni Infantino, who had his arms crossed, suddenly placed his hands on the edge of a transparent glass containing eight balls. His left hand seemed to be pressing something, and then his right hand gently lifted the glass a little.

Former Turkish international referee Kakar reenacted the process on a sports program.
He pointed out that Infantino turned on a switch by hand, activating a system that could control the frequency of the ball's rolling.

UEFA controls the balls by manipulating their vibration patterns and frequency, making them appear to move irregularly.

But in fact, each time a ball is drawn, the way it moves is different, and the guests can easily tell which ball it is and then take it out.

It sounds very mysterious, and I don't know if it's true or not.

However, after half an hour, Qin Ming realized it was true, because the lottery result made him a little furious.

A: Paris Saint-Germain, Leicester City, Basel, Ludogorets
B: Benfica, Napoli, Dynamo Kyiv, Besiktas
C: Barcelona, ​​Manchester City, PSV Eindhoven, Celtic

D: Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, Borussia Mönchengladbach, Monaco
E: CSKA Moscow, Bayer Leverkusen, Tottenham Hotspur, Rostov

F: Real Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Sporting Lisbon, Legia Warsaw
G: Bayern Munich, Porto, Club Brugge, Copenhagen

H: Juventus, Sevilla, Lyon, Dinamo Zagreb
Arsenal were placed in Group D, alongside Atletico Madrid, Borussia Mönchengladbach, and Monaco.

It's undoubtedly the group of death.

And their good brother Manchester City, that group is also under a lot of pressure.

"You guys are having a bit of bad luck!" Buffon shrugged.

Arsenal lost to Atletico Madrid last season, Borussia Mönchengladbach is a newly emerging giant-killer, and Monaco has a kid who is quite talented. After being promoted to the first team in January this year, he has put up some impressive statistics.

Arsenal might not even qualify.

The camera pans to the coaching bench on the other side.

Wenger, Guardiola, and Enrique all looked rather grim.

Simone laughed.

He gained a deep understanding of the Gunners from the two matches against them last season.

Their tactics countered their opponent's.

I imagine the first half of this season's Champions League group stage will be easier than expected, right?
"laugh!"

Qin Ming heard a cold laugh from his right and knew without looking that it was Griezmann.

He ignored it.

A smile appeared on his lips.

People usually say that a gentleman takes revenge even after ten years, but he's not a gentleman and prefers to take revenge on the spot.

Unfortunately, being eliminated from the Champions League means they have no chance.

Since God has given him another chance, even if it's just the group stage and not the knockout stage, he feels it's pretty good.

"Some are happy, some are sad—that's the charm of the Champions League!"

Pedro Pinto laughed.

The Times: Is UEFA targeting Premier League clubs? While the possibility of cheating is virtually nonexistent, none of the three Premier League teams received favorable draws! Arsenal and Manchester City were even placed in a "group of death"!
Marca: After the draw, Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone said that beating Arsenal would not be difficult and that they would advance as group winners to continue their run for the Champions League title!

The Sun: Breaking! Griezmann makes a stunning statement. I am very sorry that this ranking does not represent everything, but it is very important to me. Perhaps in the eyes of those judges, the league is much more important than the European Cup! I think I am about to sit at the same table as Messi and Ronaldo, and I know I can do better.

The Sun's report circulated rapidly in Britain and was even shared on Dongqiudi (a Chinese sports betting platform), where it garnered over 20,000 comments within hours.

Griezmann didn't mention Qin Ming at all in his article, but the target was very clear.

He believes that with his honors and statistics, he shouldn't be ranked second.

Qin Ming was still catching up on sleep that night, preparing for the competition the next day, when surfing enthusiast Morata posted an article.

He first posted a cartoon-style photo.

A man is crowning Griezmann, mocking his comparison of himself to Messi and Ronaldo.

The second tweet showed Griezmann with three trophies in front of him, as well as the Premier League Golden Boot, Best Young Player, and four Player of the Month awards.

The meaning couldn't be clearer.

"What the hell?!"

When Qin Ming woke up, he saw the media frenzy and the group chat messages were over 99. He thought something big had happened in the football world.

It turned out to be such a small thing.

He didn't bother to respond to Griezmann; let's see who comes out on the field during the game.

Anyway, the Champions League group stage starts next month.

On the bus to Leicester City, the teammates were still discussing it.

"Guys, you wouldn't believe it, that guy next to me was sneer one minute and rolling his eyes the next, he clearly looked down on me!"

"But he doesn't look down on me, he looks down on our entire team!"

"."

Qin Ming's acting was exaggerated.

"They only beat us by one point. Next month, we'll teach them a lesson they won't forget!"

Morata shouted energetically.

“We haven’t even arrived yet last season,” Kanté whispered a reminder.

"I've been following Arsenal since I was a child, and I even predicted this day would come!"

Morata lies without thinking.

However, his interruption made the Arsenal players laugh, and the atmosphere eased considerably.

"Virgil, Atletico Madrid are playing a 4-4-2 formation now. You'll be matched up against Griezmann; you'll shut him down completely!"

Qin Ming turned around, leaned over, and patted Van Dyke on the shoulder.

"Don't worry!" Van Dyke didn't say much, but he was definitely a ruthless person.

"Let's take down Leicester City today!"

Qin Ming raised his fist and shouted.

Kanté didn't join in the shouting; after all, it was his former team, and he needed to show sufficient respect.

Wenger smiled helplessly as he looked at his boisterous team.

But this is good too, everyone is motivated.

Moreover, will Arsenal, after completing their reinforcements, still fear Atletico Madrid?
Wenger doesn't think so.

Local time 3 p.m.

King Power Stadium.

“英超历史中，两队曾经交锋过20场，阿森纳13胜6平1负，射入48球失球有18个！”

“其中在客场的10场比赛里，阿森纳取得4胜5平1负的成绩，射入20球失球有11个！”

"Due to Mertesacker's strain during training, Koscielny has returned to the starting lineup, partnering with Van Dijk in central defense. There are no changes in the other positions!"

"After losing to Liverpool in the first round of the league and being held to a draw by Swansea in the second round, Ranieri has once again paired Shinji Okazaki and Jamie Vardy as strikers!"

The match on the pitch has already begun, and Leicester City hasn't changed much from last season.

Mahrez, Drinkwater, and others stayed with the team, and €4000 million was spent to sign Slimani, Musa, and Mendy.

Mendy is Kante's replacement.

However, the results were clearly unsatisfactory, with the once-promising Fox City only managing to secure one point in the first two rounds.

"Compared to last season, Arsenal has reduced the frequency of passing and movement, making their style of play more direct and threatening!"

"This is an advancement in response to the changes in modern football!"

"Let's take a look at Qin Ming's long-range shot. Morgan blocked the ball with his body, and Arsenal got a corner kick on the left!"

Morata couldn't touch the ball under the marking of Morgan and Huth.

Their ability to fight back is still not strong enough.

Leicester City's tactics are clear: compress their formation and focus on defense.

Then launch a counterattack.

Simpson was beaten too many times by Qin Ming last season, so he was extremely cautious today, in addition to Mahrez's frequent defensive retreats.

Qin Ming really couldn't find a solution in a short time.

This is also a weakness of Kanté behind him. As a pure defensive midfielder, Kanté puts almost all his energy into defense.

That's why his coverage area is so large.

This will inevitably lead to a decrease in the intensity of attacks on the same side.

There are many solutions.

Let Sanchez make more runs down the right flank to draw Leicester City's defensive focus.

Or perhaps...
Wenger crossed his two index fingers, signaling to his players to change formation.

Upon seeing this, Qin Ming immediately moved sideways, looking for an opportunity to switch positions with Sanchez, a familiar tactic between the two.

Although it's an old-fashioned approach, it's very effective.

"Kante's tackle in the backfield was very decisive!"

"Show no mercy to his former team, then pass the ball to Cazorla!"

"There's a chance!"

Arsenal fans' eyes shone with intense anticipation.

"Qin!"

Cazorla delivered a diagonal pass ahead of Leicester City's new signing, Mendy.

"Don't let him break into the penalty area!"

Schmeichel gave a stern warning.

In the 2014-15 season, Fuchs, who played for Schalke 04, also faced Qin Ming twice.

He stood ready in his position.

Snap! Qin Ming suddenly cut the ball inward with his right foot, seizing an opportunity in the confined space.

This hit Fuchs completely off guard.

Mendy chased after the Senegalese who were running back.

Have the opportunity!
He saw that Qin Ming's spike was too high, and he didn't have time to adjust his footwork.

I am absolutely certain I can intercept the ball before it's shot on goal!
But the next second his pupils contracted slightly, and he hurriedly quickened his movements by three seconds.

Useless!

The moment Mendy made his tackle to steal the ball, Qin Ming slashed out with the back of his right foot!
boom!
With the sound of leather rubbing together, the football sliced ​​through the air like a blade, hurtling towards the top left corner of the goal.

Swish! Schmeichel couldn't even react effectively and helplessly watched as his own goal was breached.

"Goal!!!"

"Goal! Qin's amazing performance on the right wing has given the Gunners the lead!"

"With this goal, he proved why he ranks higher than Griezmann, because he can score with magical skill whether he's on the left, right, or in the middle!"

"Atletico Madrid's clown should just keep his European Championship Golden Boot hidden, because that's one of the few awards you can win!"

Paul Dutton immediately initiated the discussion.

King Power Stadium.

"Yeah!" Qin Ming jumped up and pumped his fist in celebration. Quaresma's outside-of-the-foot talent finally paid off today.

His extra practice time every day was well spent.

"Score one more! Score one more!"

Arsenal fans are in high spirits.

"The left and right positional switches can be more frequent. Leicester City can't keep up with the pace, especially their defensive midfielders, whose defensive awareness is much worse than N'Golo's."

Wenger called Qin Ming to the sidelines and gave him some instructions.

It's fair to say that Leicester City without Kanté is like a fox showing its tail.

There are too many vulnerabilities.

If they play steadily and methodically, winning the game shouldn't be a problem.

Ranieri next door rubbed his temples.

He realized after the first round of the Premier League that letting Kante go was a terrible thing.

What was he thinking at the time?

He believes Kanté's style relies on running and worries that his form may not be sustainable in the long run.

In addition, when Kante joined Leicester City in 2015.

The contract includes a termination fee clause, which took effect in the summer transfer window of 2016.

Arsenal don't need to negotiate with Leicester City; they only need to pay the £3200 million release clause to bring Kante away from Leicester City.

In addition, Kante's salary demands are a bit high for Leicester City.

Therefore, the club chose a strategy of buying low and selling high.

Arsenal got a bargain this time. If it weren't for the release clause, Kante would be worth at least 50 million.
Amid Ranieri's anxieties, the match has already restarted.

"Qin Ming's goal has broken Arsenal's shackles, giving them more tactical options!"

"We're gradually increasing our possession!"

"This is Wenger's usual tactic: first, speed up the pace to take the lead, then slow down the pace to look for opportunities; you could say it's just killing time!"

Zhan Jun analyzed.

Meanwhile, Qin Ming was still looking for opportunities on the right flank. Bellerin was different from Monreal; his speed allowed him to coordinate with Qin Ming, creating two continuous waves of attacks.

This kept Leicester City players constantly on the go.

In the 45th minute of the match, Qin Ming received a pass and began to break free, then suddenly poked the ball.

Schmeichel was highly focused and made a clean save.

"Ha!" Qin Ming smiled helplessly at his teammates.

He likes to shoot unexpectedly, which is already well known to Premier League goalkeepers. It is likely that he will have very few opportunities to score in the future.

"The first half is over! Arsenal orchestrated many attacks, but after the first goal, they clearly reduced their attacking intensity!"

"They must be worried about Leicester City's quick counter-attack!"

"I wonder what changes will occur in the second half?!"

"."

Fifteen minutes later at the King Power Stadium, Mahrez made a series of breakthroughs on the wing and successfully passed the ball to Vardy.

The grassroots player wanted to outmaneuver Van Dijk with his agility.

The 193cm tall Dutchman displayed agility that belied his stature.

Thud! He slid the ball into Bellerin's hands, who unleashed a storm of speed down the wing.

"Send it over again!"

After getting past Albrighton, Bellerin played a one-two with Qin Ming, broke into the penalty area, and fired a low shot.

Schmeichel still didn't touch the ball.

0-2! ! !

"Arsenal's counter-attacks are incredibly accurate!"

"It has to be said that Arsenal's new center-back Virgil van Dijk has excellent timing when it comes to making tackles; this tackle really shows his skill!"

"Arsenal's defense is at least a level above last season!"

"With Kanté's transfer fee included, this £70 million was well spent; it was absolutely worth it!"

"."

Considering that there are two weeks of international matches from the end of September to the beginning of October, they will face Liverpool as soon as they return, as well as Champions League and EFL Cup matches.

Wenger substituted Qin Ming early on.

Ultimately, the match ended with Leicester City losing 0-2 to Arsenal. The later stages of the game became a showcase for Kanté, whose coverage area brought Leicester City fans to tears.
