Football: Starting from the Ronaldinho template

Chapter 323 More Useful Than Scoring
After Arsenal scored that incredible goal, the Juventus fans in the away stands remained silent for a long time. They simply couldn't reconcile such an acrobatic goal with the highly prestigious Champions League semi-final.

Arsenal fans in the other three stands were singing and dancing.

They remembered a phrase Qin Ming often mentioned, which Wenger had also once said.

"When your supporter wakes up in the morning, he thinks, 'Oh, maybe I'm going to have a wonderful experience today,' and he becomes hopeful of winning the game and seeing something beautiful."

They had just seen something beautiful.

As the time quietly approached the 87th minute, Juventus' two flanks were overwhelmed by Qin Ming, Sanchez, and three other players, leaving them scrambling to make ends meet.

Mandzukic received no support from his teammates and couldn't even touch the ball.

Juventus' tactics were thus broken down. Wenger stood on the sidelines with his arms crossed, rhythmically tapping the ground with his right foot.

"A 2-1 victory at home is neither good nor bad."

He said to Pat Rice.

Juventus has an away goal, meaning that if the final score remains unchanged, Juventus only needs to score one goal at home to eliminate Arsenal.

This is also the charm of the away goals rule.

A heaven, a hell.

Have more faith in the children!

Pat Rice, however, remained optimistic.

He believes that while Arsenal's current squad may not have superstars in every position, it is the best-coordinated squad in recent years.

Everyone revolves around one central figure.

Unlike before, they are no longer unable to fight when they are behind. Last season and this season, they have come back from behind many times and played many games that have allowed Arsenal to stand tall.

There's no need to worry too much.

"That's what you said."

Wenger smiled nonchalantly.

His lack of success in the Champions League over the years has made him somewhat anxious and uncertain.

On the field, Qin Ming glanced at the fourth official; there were only three minutes of stoppage time.

Because there were fewer interruptions in the second half.

"come on!"

Qin Ming waved his fist at his teammates, but he was also a little unwilling.

A one-goal lead isn't enough!
Since it's a home game, we should try to widen the gap as much as possible and establish a sufficient advantage.

It swept through Juventus' solid defense.

Qin Ming understood Allegri's intention, which was to tacitly accept the final score.

We'll figure something out when we get back to Italy.

"Give me the ball!"

In this situation, there are three options: first, create opportunities using individual skills; second, break through Juventus' defense through teamwork; and third, wait for Juventus to reveal their weaknesses.

The latter two options were only briefly considered before Qin Ming abandoned them.

"Santi, keep going!"

Qin Ming received the ball and directed Cazorla to make a forward run, while he himself quickly rushed towards Alves.

He needs to make a breakthrough in his area of ​​expertise.

Alves felt a little flustered, but when he saw his teammates nearby out of the corner of his eye, he felt much more at ease.

Lower your center of gravity to prepare for a pressing attack.

The Brazilian full-back wasn't going to make a tackle; he felt that if he tried to make a move, he would most likely be beaten.

It would be safer to force Qin Ming into a narrow area near the edge of the line before breaking him out of bounds.

Qin Ming squinted, carefully examining the other person, while his feet moved rhythmically.

In a one-to-many situation.

Fancy techniques waste time; the simplest approach is to break through with rhythm.

The two faced off for a brief, almost imperceptible time.

A sharp glint flashed in Qin Ming's eyes, and his right foot suddenly traced an arc.

Snapped!
The football seemed to be glued to his feet as he moved.

Alves is no longer young; his mind can process information, but his body is a beat slower.

The two conflicted forces caused the center of gravity to sway.

Qin Ming seized the opportunity to adjust his footwork and pushed the ball forward forcefully after touching it again.

The fact that he could unleash such speed in the final moments of the game shocked Allegri and Juventus, but fortunately Marchisio's defensive awareness was excellent.

He took a big stride and lunged towards the football.

Qin Ming's movements suddenly changed again, displaying an exaggerated footwork frequency.

He casually flicked the ball to the right.

Caught off guard, Marchisio felt a chill in his groin.

Whoosh! He seemed to hear the sound of wind breaking in his ears. He tried to completely lose his balance and fall to the ground, but the football had already left his reach.

He tried to reach out and grab Qin Ming's jersey, but felt a pulling sensation in his hand.

So fast?
Marchisio completely panicked and looked back at the edge of his own penalty area.

Morata made a run and took Barzagli away, while Sanchez ambushed at the far end, rendering Chiellini unable to move.

Qin Ming's sprint speed decreased slightly.

Bonucci dared not retreat any further; he was now outside the penalty area, even if...
He desperately stretched out his right foot to try and intercept.

Qin Ming was exhausted after bringing the ball here. He forced his legs to stay upright and gritted his teeth to make fried meatballs.

Under the spotlight, the football drew a 120-degree zigzag line!

Bonucci felt no relief whatsoever as his right leg was extended again.

Thud! Qin Ming was tripped up as if by a tripwire, lost his balance and rolled forward to dissipate the force. When he looked up, he saw Buffon's miserable face.

They rolled into the restricted area.

However, the referee indicated that the foul occurred in front of the penalty area line.

"This position is not good for shooting."

Qin Ming was still lying on the ground, muttering as he stretched out his hand.

Buffon was taken aback.

What do you mean?
He helplessly pulled Qin Ming up, thinking to himself that Qin Ming really didn't treat him like an outsider.

Arsenal fans at the stadium were extremely excited.

Having witnessed that dreamlike trio, how can we not look forward to seeing it again?

"It's difficult!"

Just as Qin Ming was about to discuss tactics with his teammates, he saw the referee pull out a yellow card, then a red card and point it at Bonucci.

Hey!
Although this attack was unlikely to result in a goal, Bonucci's red card will result in a suspension, causing him to miss the second leg of the Champions League semi-final.

That's even better than scoring a goal!

Today, the BBC defense is putting more pressure on Qin Ming than Manchester City, Manchester United, and Chelsea.

The second goal also had an element of luck.

The BBC will be missing their most important B in the second round, which greatly increases their chances of advancing.

Bonucci sighed heavily, didn't argue, and turned to walk to the sidelines. He knew that in this situation, even if he hadn't received a yellow card before, he would have received a red card directly.

Because they prevented Arsenal from having a chance to score.

Allegri plopped back down on the bench, feeling like God was playing a joke on him.

Just as the game was about to end, some terrible news came.

On the field, the wall of players completely blocked the shooting angle. Qin Ming was confident in his footwork, but it was impossible to get around the wall, so the only way to shoot was to get over it.

Just as an airplane needs distance to land, a soccer ball also needs enough distance to fall. If the distance is too short and the force is too great, it won't fall.

Unable to come up with a solution after racking his brains, Qin Ming decided to take a risky tactic and kick the ball directly after the referee blew the whistle.

However, the wall of Juventus players did not budge.

The ball hit the wall and was cleared by Barzagli.

Beep-beep-beep!
The referee blew his whistle at the appropriate time.

"The first leg of the 2016-17 UEFA Champions League semi-finals has concluded!"

Arsenal 2-1 Juventus at home!

"Qin Ming scores twice, Higuain scores a goal, Bonucci is sent off with a red card!"

"Looking back at today's match, it was arguably the most impressive Champions League knockout stage match so far! The tactics of both coaches, the physical battles between the players, and the incredible free-kick combinations!"

"If the Puskás Prize could be won multiple times, I think this year's Puskás Prize would be a sure thing!"

"Alright, fans, see you in ten days!"

He Wei swallowed back what he wanted to say.

Let's wait until Arsenal advances before making any decisions. Right now, Arsenal seems to have a big advantage, but as the saying goes, anything can happen in football.

No one can predict what will happen in the future.

At the Emirates Stadium, Qin Ming and Buffon exchanged jerseys and even took a smiling photo together.

Buffon's smirk was so pronounced it could hold an oil bottle.

Now that he's just a background character for Qin Ming, how can he be happy?

I can't be happy.

On the sidelines, Allegri shook hands with Wenger, saying, "I envy you having a player like Qin."

The players he had, Dybala and Pjanic, were also considered geniuses.

Compared to Qin Ming, they were utterly crushed, there was no comparison whatsoever.

Allegri couldn't help but think what if Juventus had emerged victorious in last season's battle for Qin Ming?

I'm afraid they've already displayed their third Champions League trophy in their museum.

“I also feel very lucky.”

Wenger laughed.

In that world-record transfer, he essentially staked his future, especially if Arsenal hadn't achieved a mediocre season and failed to win the league title.

He will only face a humiliating dismissal from get out of class.

Even if it doesn't lead to complete disgrace, the regrets hidden in one's heart will never have a chance to be filled.

The Mirror: No need to watch Qin Ming's match, he'll wake up to another victory! Arsenal are aiming for the Champions League final!
The Sun: In the first leg of the Champions League semi-final that ended last night, Arsenal scored a spectacular free kick. Let’s see if professional freestyle footballers can replicate it.

Pengcheng Daily: The theme football park project in Nanshan District of Pengcheng has officially started and is expected to be completed by the end of this year, providing the people of Pengcheng with more than ten 11-a-side football fields, twenty 8-a-side football fields and twenty 5-a-side football fields!

The whole world was stunned by Arsenal's dream trio.
-
Even the strongest shield couldn't withstand the strongest spear!
-
[This is outrageous! I can't even kick him out in the game, no, there's no such option at all!]
-
FIFA released a patch overnight; you can log in and check it out.
-
The problem is, I can't get Qin Ming. I've even tried to get a lot of legendary players, but I just can't get Qin Ming, who is the Player of the Week or Player of the Year.
-
That bastard EA definitely tampered with the drop rates.
-
It took me several tries to get it, but it's really fun to use.
-
Holy crap, this guy's rich!
-
The league season starts in four days. Arsenal plays Manchester United. Can they go easy on them and let Manchester United surpass Everton, so they can at least qualify for the Europa League?
-
Manchester United's injury list is so long it's hard to read; Ibrahimovic, Ashley Young, Fellaini, Luke Shaw, and Smalling are all injured.
-
Manchester United are aiming for the Europa League title, so they'll be automatically guaranteed a Champions League spot.
-
That's bad. UEFA rules stipulate that a league can have a maximum of five teams participating in the Champions League. If Manchester United doesn't finish in the top five but still gets a Champions League spot, then it'll be embarrassing for any of the BGI6 teams that didn't qualify.
-
It looks like it will be Liverpool.

The online discussion was heated.

On the night the Arsenal match ended, Qin Ming and his teammates had a gathering at home and watched the Real Madrid vs. Atletico Madrid match.

"Atletico Madrid killer!"

Cristiano Ronaldo!

"He scored the third goal of the game, and he'll be able to take the match ball home after the game!"

"hat trick!"

"Zidane's Real Madrid seems to be enveloped by a mysterious force in the Champions League, allowing the Real Madrid players to perform exceptionally well!"

Listen to the commentator's voice.

Qin Ming's expression wasn't exactly relaxed. It's said that Allegri was the originator of random violence, while Zidane popularized it.

In fact, both of them have a high level of tactical skill.

Zidane has extensive player experience, can control the locker room, and is good at making in-game adjustments.

"We don't need to think about that now."

Cech put down his water glass and said.

"Peter is right, let's focus on advancing to the final first. No team in the world wants to face Real Madrid, but I don't think any team wants to face us either."

Qin Ming spoke with great confidence.

They were able to win the Premier League title early in a competition full of strong rivals, and then defeat Dortmund and Barcelona in the knockout stages.

Arsenal has long been seen as a tough nut to crack by outsiders.

at the same time.

At the Bernabéu Stadium, Cristiano Ronaldo took two steps, jumped, spun, and landed, striking his signature pose.

Siu!!

The Real Madrid fans erupted in a thunderous roar.

Defend the Champions League title!

No team has achieved this since the Champions League was restructured, not even the once-mighty AC Milan or the Barcelona of the Dream Team era.

Now the opportunity is in front of them.

With a 3-0 victory over Atletico Madrid in the first leg, they have a significant advantage and are already one foot in the Champions League finals.

"Arsenal's performance this season has been impressive, but the Champions League is often not about consistency, but about the ability to kill the game!"

"In this respect, we have Cristiano, a goal-scoring machine that can score in any situation!"

"La Liga has recorded five consecutive seasons with over 30 goals, making it the most in Europe's top five leagues. Furthermore, the team has also set records for scoring 15 league goals in the first eight rounds and 20 league goals in the first 12 rounds!"

"After renewing his contract with Real Madrid this season, Ronaldo's performance has become even more impressive. He led Real Madrid to consecutive victories on all fronts and won the Ballon d'Or on December 13th last year, achieving his fourth Ballon d'Or, only one less than Messi!"

"A month later, he once again beat Qin Ming to win the FIFA World Player of the Year award!"

"He not only demonstrated outstanding ability on the football field."

Spanish media outlets are raving about it.

With the football world entering a heated phase, the Premier League title has already been decided, and the 36th round is about to begin.

The players' tunnel at Emirates Stadium.

Qin Ming and Pogba met, and neither of them had a friendly expression.

With several players injured, Mourinho fielded a front three of Rooney, Martial, Mata, and Mkhitaryan, while the midfield and defense consisted of players like Pogba and Herrera.

As for Arsenal, they rotated their squad depending on the situation. They rested for four days and their form has recovered well.

They could definitely start today.

On the contrary, if he doesn't play this game, his form will be affected.

Because players need matches to maintain their form.

"David's been doing well lately."

Qin Ming raised an eyebrow at De Gea.

De Gea was about to respond when he caught a glimpse of Mourinho's gloomy face, remembering how he hadn't been able to join Real Madrid the season before last.

They actually have a chance this season.

But the transfer fee they're asking for isn't low, and they'll have to offer Morata in exchange.

Morata was snatched away by Arsenal.

"Ugh."

De Gea sighed silently. The defense was always causing trouble; he was exhausted playing for Manchester United.

He has a significant gap in the number of saves per goalkeeper compared to the average number of saves made by Premier League goalkeepers.

The key issue is that they still can't get a shutout award.
