Football: Starting from the Ronaldinho template

Chapter 319 Arsenal's journey is not over yet!

“自从英超时代开启后，阿森纳1997-98、1998-99、2001-02、2002-03、2015-16和2016-17赛季，六次在四月份登顶英超积分榜首！”

"That corresponds to four championships, two before the millennium and two after the millennium!"

Congratulations to Arsenal for winning the Premier League title with three rounds to spare!

The Sky Sports commentators didn't say much.

But other parts of the commentary booth erupted in cheers, especially Paul Dutton and He Wei.

"The whistle has stopped!"

"An incredible match has ended! A crazy, epic match that is destined to go down in the history of the North London derby has ended!"

"7-1! Arsenal have completed a great victory at the home ground of their arch-rivals Tottenham Hotspur, securing the 2016-2017 English Premier League title with three games to spare!"

He Wei paused for a moment, then stole a glance at the small note.

Although he had finished writing the manuscript half a month in advance.

They also memorized it very well.

However, in the heat of the moment, some oversights are inevitable, so it's better to take another look to be on the safe side.

"At this moment, White Hart Lane became a witness to two extreme emotions. One end was hell, a place of heartbreak, shame, and unbearable escapes!"

"And on the other side is heaven, a place of ecstasy, tears, and the release that has been waiting for so long!"

"This ecstasy belongs to the defending champions, Arsenal!"

"This is Arsenal's 15th English top-flight league title, and Qin Ming, who scored five goals in this match, is Arsenal's biggest contributor!"

"The annual league, from August to June, is like a ruler of time, measuring the players' triumphs and sorrows. On the field, there is only one winner!"

The camera panned to Qin Ming, who was celebrating with his teammates. But his career wasn't all smooth sailing. He suffered a disappointing exit from the German Cup in the 2014-15 season, finished third in the Asian Cup, and reached the semi-finals of the 2015-16 Champions League.

"He also has his own sorrows!"

"But I think he's happy today!"

"If Qin Ming is a towering man and an elegant player with boundless charm now, then he was still very immature three years ago when he was only 17 years old!"

He Wei started to stray from the script as he spoke.

He couldn't help but recall his time at Wolfsburg, when he was transferred from another department to commentate on Bundesliga matches.

The monotonous days suddenly became something to look forward to.

"At this moment, Qin Ming could fully enjoy the cheers from the fans, and his long-suppressed passion was fully displayed in this 21-year-old!"

"With three rounds remaining in the league this season, he has already scored 43 league goals, significantly breaking his own record, and that record is still going strong!"

"He has had his breakout year, and even his goal-scoring methods are the most diverse: long-distance runs, consecutive dribbling moves, left foot, right foot, and even headers, which are generally considered his weakest skills!"

"Moreover, this season, Qin Ming, who has won the Premier League, Community Shield, and League Cup titles, has become increasingly confident. He has adapted well to the Premier League and has shown his style to the fullest. His imaginative football has also brought a brand new and unique style to the Premier League!"

"Look, miracles require miraculous heroes. Even the usually reserved Professor Wenger is cheering for this moment!"

He Wei finished speaking fluently.

Paul Dutton next door is almost going crazy. Compared to He Wei, he loves Arsenal more, and his own team has achieved two consecutive championships after 84 years since the 1932-33 season.

"Congratulations to Arsenal! Congratulations to Arsenal fans, congratulations to Arsenal players, congratulations to Mr. Arsène Wenger!"

"He endured so much doubt and criticism, but his unwavering philosophy of beautiful football finally bore its most splendid and sweetest fruit on such an incredible night!"

"With an exceptional attacking performance, he achieved the perfect conquest of Tottenham and thoroughly proved himself!"

"For the Gunners today, they don't need to climb; they're already at the top of the Premier League! Enjoy the night, and savor the Arsenal anthem resounding at White Hart Lane!"

Paul Dutton shouted with great enthusiasm.

At White Hart Lane, Qin Ming stood with his hands on his hips, watching his teammates and coaching staff hugging, jumping, and crying wildly!
Fans in the stands took out "Champion" banners and commemorative scarves that they had prepared beforehand.

And so the championship celebration began!

His gaze shifted, and he noticed that the Tottenham players had fled the scene as quickly as possible. White Hart Lane, which may have once represented honor, had now become a place where they suffered a great humiliation, and they didn't even dare to look back.

"Ha ha!"

Qin Ming couldn't help but laugh out loud. It was so satisfying to beat Tottenham like that.

"Qin, don't forget to get the match ball! You almost wore two hats today!"

Pat Rice suddenly thought of this.

"it is good."

Qin Ming saw the referee team waiting for him, and Oliver handed him the ball with a smile, saying, "This is the most exciting game I've officiated since I became a referee."

"Thank you."

Qin Ming took the ball, held it with one hand, and politely shook hands with the others.

Oliver's ruling today was indeed very fair.

He truly is a master of impartiality. If the Tottenham players hadn't been so reckless, it would have been quite difficult to get two players sent off.

"Come on!"

Immediately afterwards, Qin Ming was surrounded by his teammates, and the football was thrown into the air along with him.

Courtside.

Wenger, who seemed to be reminiscing about something, finally broke into a broad smile.

He has an idea now.

The beautiful dream of football that I've held onto all my life seems to have ultimately taken the form of this child.

The staff wanted to come up and give them a high five.

Wenger slightly raised his hand to stop him; he wanted to watch a little longer and feel it a little more.

The celebration did not last long.

According to the rules, Arsenal will hold a title-winning ceremony after their final home game, the 38th round of the Premier League, against Everton.

"Tonight is your time, but tomorrow, in May, we will move on."

Wenger said in the locker room.

Arsenal's journey is not over yet; the Champions League semi-final against Juventus is a hurdle they need to overcome.

In the summer of 2005-06 in France, Arsenal narrowly lost the Champions League final to Barcelona, ​​who boasted Messi, Eto'o, and Ronaldinho.

That match remains a painful memory for all Arsenal players.

From then on, Barcelona's dynasty began, while Arsenal's glory seemed to come to an abrupt end.

Since then, Arsenal have never reached the Champions League final again, but now they have finally defended their Premier League title.

So, the 4015 days of desolation should finally come to an end.

They want to fight their way into the Champions League final again, so that Arsenal can live up to their reputation as a top club.

"rest assured!"

Qin Ming pulled the soccer ball out from under his buttocks. If this had happened in the past, he would definitely have been scolded by the coach.

They say you can't sit on a football.

"Hey guys, can I get your autographs?"

He raised an eyebrow. For such a memorable moment, he felt he should leave behind something unique besides photos and videos.

For example, this game ball.

Perhaps when I'm seventy or eighty, I can still say this to my grandson: "Back in the day, your grandpa scored five goals in a single game and led Arsenal to win the title three rounds early at White Hart Lane."

Hey, this is so interesting.

Thinking about it, Qin Ming chuckled twice. Morata was the most enthusiastic about this kind of thing. He stood up abruptly, as if writing his name for the first time, taking every stroke very seriously.

The football passed from one player to another from Arsenal.

Everyone signed their name on it, and then passed it along with the marker to the next person.
Even the professor, Pat Rice, and several staff members were no exception.

at the post-match press conference.

Pochettino was absent, but Wenger and Qin Ming were present, and the spotlight was flashing wildly.

"I'm very happy to have helped the team win the title early with a career-high five goals in a single game, but as Mr. Wenger said, every major tournament and every league season is like a day in life. When the day ends, some people will be happy and some people will be sad."

"No matter which side we are on, tomorrow will still come."

"Our goal is not just to defend our Premier League title."

Before Qin Ming could finish speaking, the reporter raised his hand.

"So what is your goal?"

"It might be too early to talk about winning the Champions League, so I'll say we've reached the final. After all, we couldn't do it last year, and we hope to do it this year."

"Juventus is a very strong team overall. Are you confident you can beat them?"

"I think if you ask any player who has scored 41 goals in the league, he will give you a sincere answer from the bottom of his heart: Yes, I have confidence, and so do my teammates, coaches, and supporters."

"."

After the post-match interview, Qin Ming and his teammates returned to the Kearney training base.

As the bus drove along the road, horns blared and cheers erupted continuously.

Chelsea fans in London sighed, having thought that with Conte taking over from Mourinho and developing a three-man defense adapted to the Premier League, Chelsea could win the Premier League title again.

But Arsenal was like a boulder pressing down on them.

In the end, it was all for naught; it seems this season will end in nothing.

The morning news the next day.

"In the Premier League Round 35 match that ended at 10 pm last night, Arsenal defeated Tottenham Hotspur 7-1 away from home, securing the title three rounds in advance!"

"In this match, Qin Ming scored five goals, increasing his single-season league goal tally from 38 to 43, and raising the Premier League goal record from the 30s to the more difficult 40s!"

"It is reported that in Pengcheng, Qin Ming's hometown, the municipal government announced plans to build several more sports fields in the city and open them to all Pengcheng residents free of charge!"

"Similar themed stadiums have been built in Shenzhen before."

The subway stations in Shenzhen were packed with people during the morning rush hour.

After all, it's a top-tier city.

Busy office workers are either wearing headphones and resting with their eyes closed, scrolling through novels, or looking at the news on their phones horizontally.

Wang Wei yawned, his eyes showing dark circles.

The game ended early last night, but he spent several hours browsing forums and online communities, and watched highlights with commentary in multiple languages. Before he knew it, it was already five o'clock.

Then why bother sleeping?
I got up to have a long-awaited breakfast, and it was time to go back to work.

"The boss said if we do well this year, he'll take us to the World Cup next year. I don't know if that's just empty promises."

Wang Wei's company focuses on the field of digitalization in football.

It primarily provides comprehensive digital solutions for football management departments, professional clubs, professional sports teams, schools, sports training institutions, event organizers, and football players.

The prospects are great.

After all, Qin Ming made a name for himself abroad, led the national team to a third-place finish in the Asian Cup, and even qualified for the knockout stage in March.

The football-related industry has flourished in just a few years.

It was definitely tiring.

Wang Wei smiled as he recalled the several outstanding young players he had helped discover for domestic clubs.

I used to hear jokes about whether the Chinese national football team would ever qualify for the World Cup in my lifetime.
Now we can not only see, but also see much more.

Perhaps in the future, the national team will include players selected through intelligent screening.

When Wang Wei arrived at the company building, he found that his colleagues were already there, and everyone had dark circles under their eyes.

It's like a panda zoo.

"Hurry up, the technical director of the Hellende youth academy is giving a lecture today. If we get there late, we'll probably have to stand at the back."

The Hellende youth academy serves as Arsenal's youth training base.

When Wenger took over in 1996 with new ideas, he planted the seed of a youth training revolution.

"Oooo!"

Arsenal's youth academy technical director accompanied the team to visit several youth training bases in Shenzhen and took the opportunity to talk about Arsenal's talent selection process.

So there must be a lot of people going today.

When Wang Wei finally arrived at the venue, he found the conference hall packed with people.

"At Arsenal, we follow a four-dimensional evaluation model encompassing technical, tactical, psychological, and physical aspects."

"We will also customize a dual-track curriculum combining football and education for players aged 16 and above, covering practical skills such as finance and social media management. This dual-track training model allows young players to establish themselves in other fields even if they do not make it into football."

"Because the football training model is underpinned by a brutal competition mechanism."

“我们每年从180名青训学员中筛选20人进入U18精英梯队，但最终只有2到3人能与一线队合练，萨卡的成长轨迹就是典型案例。”

"At the age of 13, he was almost abandoned because of his thin physique, but the coaching staff discovered his ability to play with his brain and designed a special muscle-building program and tactical role for him."

"By the way, Saka has also been coached by Qin many times. This inclusiveness of not denying strengths based on weaknesses is the key to Arsenal's difference from Chelsea's assembly-line youth training system."

Arsenal's advanced youth training philosophy may not be suitable for China, but smart clubs can certainly benefit from it.

Whether one can profit from a booming industry depends on individual ability.

"To be honest, Arsenal's results used to be mediocre, but their youth academy players are really impressive."

Wang Wei's fingers tapped incessantly on the computer screen.

Their large-scale models are still quite immature.

Arsenal's model from ten years ago was probably more advanced than theirs.

"The results weren't bad either. With only so much money each year, we not only secured a Champions League spot, but we also almost won the title several times."

My colleague next to me, a die-hard Arsenal fan, shook his head and expressed a different opinion.

Time passes day by day.

London enjoyed much-needed good weather in May.

The Premier League title didn't have a big impact on Arsenal, since they had already won it last season, and everyone was focused on preparing for the Champions League semi-final.
