Football: Starting from the Ronaldinho template

Chapter 322 Dream Trio

Qin Ming glanced at the Juventus players; Buffon smiled and waved at him, seemingly in a good mood.

It must have been the save that cheered him up.

Qin Ming smiled and waved his hand, saying that playing against Juventus was different from playing against Barcelona, ​​as the former had a grudge against Arsenal, and a lot of grievances between them.

Let's just pick one to talk about.

Cesc Fàbregas.

Although this was Fabregas's own doing, didn't Barcelona also contribute to it later?
The media certainly stirred things up during that period.

The Juventus players are quite interesting in comparison.

"Peter, I think you should be able to play until he's that age, right?"

Morata asked Cech.

"I think there's a problem. I want to retire early and go play ice hockey!"

During matches, Cech always has a cold face, with the sharpness unique to Czechs, but off the field he actually loves to joke around.

"Let's go play together after this season ends. I'm much more accurate at ice hockey than at shooting!"

Morata patted his chest.

Qin Ming originally wanted to make a few complaints, but after thinking about it, he realized it was indeed possible.

Football is played with your feet.

Ice hockey is played with hands, and Morata played with two backwards feet, but that doesn't mean he played with two backwards hands.

Perhaps the talent lies in their hands.

"Then I'll guard against you!"

Van Dijk smiled, revealing his teeth.

Morata glanced at the muscular Van Dijk, then at his own slightly thinner frame, and said, "Let N'Goro guard me!"

Upon hearing this, Kant scratched his butt.

Arsenal players returned to the locker room in a relaxed atmosphere.

The professor was already standing in front of the tactics board.

Tuk-tuk-tuk!
He tapped his index finger a few times, drawing everyone's attention.

"Alright, Allegri knows how to address the root cause and transform the players to build a defensive system."

"Everyone should have seen the adjustments they made in the first half."

"But I don't know if you've noticed, but when their defensive midfielders are moving left and right, there's a clear gap in their play."

Wenger adjusted the magnets representing Juventus players, turning them into a rotating formation that Juventus used before scoring goals.

Alves, Marchisio, and Dybala quickly advanced from the other side after Mandzukic gained an advantage on the flank.

"As long as we can seize this opportunity..."

Wenger kept talking.

Qin Ming simulated the scene in his mind and instantly understood what the professor meant.

Juventus' Achilles' heel is not Mandzukic, nor Dybala, or Pjanic, but Marchisio.

People nicknamed him "Horse Performance".

"Nacho, stop positioning yourself too deep just because they're attacking. We need to build a numerical advantage on the flanks."

Qin Ming first looked at Wenger, and when Wenger nodded slightly, signaling him to continue, he turned to Monreal and said, "Move forward! When the two of us push forward at the same time, the wing-backs of the three-center-back system will be outnumbered. At this time, the Juventus center-backs on our side will often participate in the defense, which will give Santi an opening to attack."

A few simple words can describe an offensive scene.

Monreal pondered for a moment, then suddenly slapped his thigh. "Yeah, how could I not have thought of that? I was only thinking about defense!"

In the last 15 minutes of the first half, they did indeed fall into a mental trap.

Otherwise, Juventus wouldn't have scored that goal.

"Qin is right. It's the same on both sides. Put enough pressure on them and tear open the gap in the middle through the flanks."

Wenger clapped his hands in admiration.

Last season, his efforts in cultivating Qin Ming's tactical thinking were worthwhile.

On the field, the first commander is never the coach, because they stand outside the white line.

Timeliness is extremely important in competitions.

Therefore, the team's brain and core player must have a sound tactical mindset.

The changing room next door.

Fans say Allegri is the originator of the "XJBT" style, while Zidane popularized it. But without real talent, how could one achieve good results?

Even Luis Enrique, who led Barcelona to five titles and was nicknamed "the dog-tethering champion," had something in his head.

"In the second half, pass the ball more to the midfielders and defenders, while the forwards are responsible for disrupting Arsenal's passing game. Remember that the wingers must make quick runs forward, and the players in the middle must follow up in sync."

"Qin! Everyone should know this player well. He's very strong in terms of individual ability, so don't hesitate to foul him when necessary."

"The final round will not involve a reshuffling of the deck."

Allegri walked to the middle of the locker room, looked around at the Juventus players, and said in a deep voice: "But our first priority now is how to get into the final."

If we don't make it to the finals, it's all for nothing.

"If we control those dangerous positions in front of the penalty area, I'm confident I can prevent them from scoring."

Buffon asked Chiellini to help him put on his gloves.

Having weathered so many ups and downs over the years, he is a man who has been through countless battles.

We will not be intimidated by Arsenal's alarming statistics.

Before the start of the second half.

Qin Ming stood on the left side of the center circle, the scorching lights casting a tall and imposing shadow.

The same goes for Arsenal players.

Beep! ! !
A piercing whistle cut through the night sky.

Morata kicked off and passed the ball across to Qin Ming, who then passed it back to Cazorla.

Juventus players have already surged forward.

Seize the initiative at the start.

The stronger the team, the more they like to seize the initiative from the start, just like in martial arts, where taking the first step leads to continuous advantage.

Even for a team like Juventus that prioritizes defense.

"Arsenal's passing and possession game remained intact, and their league title win three rounds early this season has proven the stability of their tactics!"

"They beat Atletico Madrid in the Champions League group stage and then defeated Dortmund and Barcelona in the knockout stage. These are all teams that are good at pressing, but they still couldn't achieve the desired effect against Arsenal!"

"coming!"

He Wei raised his voice.

As arranged during halftime, when the ball came to Qin Ming's feet, he glanced to his left.

Monreal made a quick forward run.

Alves hesitated, turning his head left and right. Only after seeing Marchisio's gesture did Marchisio feel reassured and rush towards Alves.

The middle space has emerged.

Qin Ming didn't pass the ball; instead, he dribbled straight ahead.

Its body swayed slightly, like a pendulum.

Marchisio felt dizzy and looked down, trying to judge Qin Ming's intention to break through by observing his footwork.

But the smoothness of his cycling motion made it impossible for him to tell.

The distance between the two closed rapidly, and Barzagli had moved up, ready for his teammate to be breached.

"Santi!"

Juventus fans watched in disbelief as Qin Ming passed the ball across to the middle.

Sandro and Pjanic on the right side are positioned close to the flank due to the quick forward runs of Sanchez and Bellerin.

The distance between them and Marchisio has widened.

"Arsenal have so many passing options that it's impossible for opponents to defend against them!"

"The midfield defense has been breached!"

"Morata's position is good, he doesn't look offside!"

Having spent a season at Juventus, Morata has a fairly deep understanding of the habits of the BBC defense.

We've faced each other in training matches before.

Therefore, he did not repeat his previous mistake of frequently scoring two goals offside, which he did at Arsenal.

Pjanic arrived just in time to find that things had gone terribly wrong.

He committed a foul by gritting his teeth.

They gave Arsenal a free kick right in front of the goal, from about 28 meters away.

He even received a yellow card himself.

"it's okay no problem."

Marchisio gently patted Pjanic on the shoulder to comfort him.

If there hadn't been a foul and Cazorla had passed the ball out, could Arsenal have scored?
do not know.

But it's at least more likely to result in a goal than from a free kick.

"Yes, that's it, don't move anymore!"

Buffon was rubbing his hands together, directing the wall of players with great enthusiasm.

On the other side of the human wall.

Qin Ming and his teammates whispered their plans.

"Do you remember what we practiced before?"

"Isn't the risk too high?" "They think the same as you, that we'll take a regular penalty, a direct shot to the top left or right corner, but Buffon..."

"That!"

"Alexis, you take the first step, Santi, you take the second step. Pay attention to the height of the ball."

After giving his instructions, Qin Ming stood behind the football.

He nodded to the referee, indicating that they were ready. The referee then looked towards the goal, and Buffon raised his right hand.

Beep! ! !
The brief whistle made the nearly 60,000 fans at the Emirates Stadium hold their breath.

Everyone knows that Qin Ming has a beautiful free kick, and he can kick with his left foot, right foot, and outside of his foot.

The question is, why is Sanchez standing in front of the ball?

To set up a ball?

Allegri's eyes were also filled with doubt, while Wenger shook his head with a wry smile.

He knew that Qin Ming often led his teammates to practice some very difficult tactics.

But from a professional coach's perspective, the more precise the execution, the harder it is to score. Wenger sat back on the bench and said, "I can see that the players are in good spirits."

On the green field, where everyone's attention is focused.

Sanchez took two running steps and swung his leg dramatically.

The moment before the sneakers touch the soccer ball.

Everyone thought he was going to shoot, and the Juventus players forming a wall of defenders were about to leap into the air.

But Sanchez simply pushed forward with the instep of his right foot, seemingly casually.

"What is he doing?"

Paul Dutton has lost his voice.

The football only rolled slowly to the side for a few dozen centimeters.

At the end of the ball's rolling trajectory, Cazorla was already waiting there, extending his leg with almost no adjustment.

Down, up!
A perfectly timed lob shot.

"Get on top!"

Buffon saw the red and white figure roaring through the gaps in the wall of men.

As if waking from a dream, the Juventus players split up in an instant, rushing towards the ball with all their might.

They saw it too.

"call!"

Watching the football fall from the sky, Qin Ming took three steps and adjusted to his optimal posture!
The left shoe spike is firmly planted in the grass.

The body is stretched to its limit, twisting the waist, swinging the legs, and exerting force!
The entire movement was full of exquisite beauty.

boom!
The next second, a deafening explosion occurred, replacing the original aesthetic with violence.

Every inch of the football's leather seemed to be torn apart, deformed, and then roared out like a ignited cannonball at a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to perceive!

Buffon's save was completely futile.

His body was still outstretched in the air, and the football was already spinning and rubbing violently in the net behind him, creating waves.

The Emirates Stadium fell silent for a moment.

Countless fans in the stands held their heads in their hands, their jaws dropping to the floor in shock.

"GOOOOOOAL!!!"

Paul Dutton snapped out of his daze and went into a frenzy that cracked his voice.

The hoarse voice, transmitted via the internet, startled countless Arsenal fans.

"Incredible! Incredible!"

Is this a football?

"This is a work of art!"

"This is a collaboration from another planet!"

"Sanchez, Cazorla, and Qin Ming, those three have deceived the whole world!"

"They may have scored the most brilliant combination in Champions League history!"

"Arsenal, who uphold the philosophy of beautiful football, have shown football fans around the world today what beautiful imagination truly means!"

"They brought a dream goal to reality!"

He Wei's face flushed with excitement.

"In the 67th minute of the match, Arsenal scored from a free kick in the attacking third in a way that was unimaginable and even unthinkable!"

"Two to one!"

He Wei's partner added.

Emirates Stadium.

After a brief silence came a deafening roar, with Arsenal and Juventus fans from all sides of the stands unable to contain their admiration.

So beautiful!

Under the London night sky.

Sanchez raised an eyebrow and pointed at Cazorla, who laughed and pointed at Qin Ming.

Qin Ming raised his hands, a signature smile on his lips, enjoying the adoration from the fans.

"Qin!"

His teammates rushed over and overwhelmed him in red and white.

"I never thought I would actually get in."

Cazorla's eyes still held disbelief.

This combination looks simple, but in reality, it requires extremely high precision.

Sanchez's push required the ball to move around the entire length of the field, satisfying the first-touch rule for a direct free kick.

You need to precisely lob the ground ball to a suitable height and position for a volley shot.

The first operation was fine, but the second operation became more difficult.

The third operation?
This shows a trend of geometric growth.

Because Qin Ming needs to accurately predict the trajectory of the ball after his teammates have dealt with it twice, and then complete a high-quality volley while taking a running start.

The success rate of the three working together is extremely low.

Although they often manage to kick well during regular training.

But if only I had known this was the Champions League semi-final!

The opponents are not immobile simulated human walls.

He is one of the best players in the world.

The Juventus penalty area was a mess, with Buffon lying on the grass, still not up.

"What the hell is this thing?"

He couldn't help but ask himself the same question.

Throughout his long professional career, he has seen it all; bicycle kicks, own goals, and spectacular long-range strikes—he has experienced virtually every type of goal.

But this kind of teamwork is like acrobatics, more like street soccer.

I have never seen it.

No wonder there's a rumor in the goalkeeper circle: be extra careful when playing against Qin Ming, or you'll just become the background character.

Buffon looked up at the sky and sighed.

At such an advanced age, she's still just a background figure.

Bonucci, Chiellini, and the others weren't much better off, mechanically turning their heads to look at Qin Ming, then at the ball lying in the goal.

Are we playing in the Champions League semi-final?

Chiellini felt like he was playing beach soccer.

Courtside.

Allegri clutched his balding head, unable to believe his eyes.

I checked it several times.

If it actually gets in, it's still effective.

the other side.

"These three people."

Wenger was also stunned, his hand trembling slightly as he pointed at the scoreboard.

"You said Qin and the others practice quite a lot of things. If they succeeded at this, then they can succeed at the others too?"

Pat Rice murmured, recalling those outrageous collaborations.

"There's definitely an element of luck involved, but I think it's possible to do it."

Wenger took a deep breath, thought for a moment, and added: "It's just that some things don't follow the rules of football, such as a rainbow flick followed by a volley, which would be considered a violation of the first touch rule."

On the field, Qin Ming, sporting a messy hairstyle, shook off his teammates and hugged Sanchez and Cazorla with a smile.

This free-kick tactic consists of three highly difficult technical steps linked together, and its failure rate is much higher than that of a direct shot or a simple two-man combination.

If they fail, not only will they waste an opportunity to attack, but they will also look ridiculous.

Fortunately, they succeeded.

"The game restarts! Let's watch Qin Ming's goal again, Sanchez."

The more He Wei looked, the more he felt that his imagination was being stifled.

This kind of free kick, which is more like a show of skill, is not a reliable way to score, and there is no similar case in football history.

But it actually happened in reality, in the Champions League semi-final.

It can only be said that it is a unique, dreamlike trio that is enough to freeze the blood of all witnesses!
