Football: Starting from the Ronaldinho template

Chapter 336 The regret of 11 years ago is made up for today.

"The game is over! The game is over!"

"The 2016-17 UEFA Champions League season has come to a close at the Millennium Stadium!"

"The clash between red and white is always a spectacle!"

"With Qin Ming scoring twice and Morata adding a goal, Arsenal beat Real Madrid 3-2!"

"Arsenal, with a 131-year history, has won their first Champions League title, making up for the regret of 11 years ago!"

He Wei was finally able to express his feelings.

"The ironclad rule in the world of football is never survival of the fittest, but rather the winner takes all."

"Arsenal have come a long way, encountering Atletico Madrid who eliminated them last season, Juventus who won consecutive Serie A titles, and Real Madrid who were aiming to defend their title."

"But the string of victories proved Arsenal's honor as 'Kings of Europe'."

"From the very first second the referee blew the whistle, this final was unpredictable. Arsenal scored early, but Zidane's adjustments were too exquisite, forcibly correcting the rhythm."

"After the start of the second half, Real Madrid launched a fierce attack with all their might."

"Arsenal's defense was under tremendous pressure, and when everyone thought victory was out of reach for the Gunners, Qin Ming stepped up."

"He scored the game-winning goal with unwavering perseverance and a tenacious spirit."

"Of course, we should also pay tribute to the great loser Real Madrid. Reaching this point has already proven the greatness of their will, and it is only human nature to want more after getting what they want."

"But the heavens are vast and the way of heaven is merciless. The Champions League final is always a coronation ceremony for the strong, and Ronaldo can only swallow his tears of defeat."

He Wei looked at the dazzling fireworks outside the Millennium Stadium.

Has the Messi-Ronaldo era come to an end?

"The cruelty of competitive sports is that even those with exceptional talent and diligence can never escape the marks of time."

"There will always come a day when you will step down from your pedestal, and there will always come a day when you will be replaced by someone else."

Sometimes, it's just a fleeting moment.

Time never stops its relentless march.

“Is that right?”

"Actually, that's not right. They are still in our sights, still playing in major leagues, and still highly competitive."

"However, I want to say that the years when Messi and Ronaldo dominated the football world were their own glory, but also the tragedy of other players. I think the Messi-Ronaldo era may not be over, but this monopoly has ended."

"Qin Ming has scored 46 goals in the Premier League, breaking his own record from last season and bringing the Premier League single-season goal record to the '4' mark."

"Qin Ming has scored 19 goals in the Champions League, breaking Cristiano Ronaldo's record of 17 goals set in the 2013-14 season, and also setting a new record for the most goals in a single Champions League season."

"Qin Ming, what will his future be like? What records can he set?"

"In any case, this season has been an epic one for him, with the Community Shield, EFL Cup, Premier League and Champions League titles crowning him a quadruple winner."

"I think Arsenal will feel lucky to have him, and Wenger will also be grateful for his decision two years ago."

Let's keep going!

"In the future, we will witness the most incredible miracles and unimaginable records in football!"

"Zhan Jun said."

Millennium Stadium.

A red and white wave had already swept through the stands, with red smoke gradually spreading out, as if to surround the gleaming Big Ears Cup in front of the players' tunnel.

"Arsenal!!!"

The deafening cheers lasted for a long time.

On the field, some people ran wildly despite their exhaustion, while others collapsed from exhaustion. However, unlike the World Cup final, there were no people crying in tears regardless of the outcome.

Cristiano Ronaldo stood with his hands on his hips.

It's impossible not to be heartbroken. He scored his 100th Champions League goal in this match, and everyone thought he could break the curse and lead Real Madrid to defend their Champions League title.

Who knew they would lose to Arsenal.

Even if you don't want to admit it, Qin Ming's final goal was indeed beautiful. He sprinted all the way from midfield to the penalty area, beating all the Real Madrid players, and even Varane's sliding tackle from behind couldn't stop him.

Keep up the good work next season.

He believes that given Real Madrid's overall level, they have a good chance of reaching the Champions League final.

As for what he said during the match, it was purely a case of impatience overwhelming his reason.

No loser wanted to stay and be a foil for the winner. Real Madrid players left the field in frustration, preparing for the awards ceremony later.

Walk through the dimly lit players' tunnel.

Ronaldo ultimately couldn't calm down; what kept churning in his mind was, "If that shot had been higher, if that run had been faster."

People always do this after a failure.

Bale rubbed his sore calves; his competitive form after recovering from the injury was indeed not as good as before.

Otherwise, Real Madrid would still have a chance.

Casemiro, Modric, and Toni Kroos did not conduct a post-match analysis as they usually do.

Their journey this season has been very bumpy, and they finally won the La Liga title after going through many hardships.

Therefore, they came to the Champions League with an unwavering determination to win.

The result, however, was not satisfactory.

"There will be another chance to meet Arsenal next year."

Modric patted his two partners on the shoulder. He was a man who had been through life and death and would not wallow in frustration.

Look ahead.

Casemiro nodded.

Only Ramos remained with a gloomy face, with traces of blood still on his face, and he dared not breathe too hard.

Qin Ming's elbow really hit him hard.

The key point is that the media has previously reported that Qin Ming lacks sportsmanship.

But they ignored him completely.

Fans actually like him more, because nobody likes a softie. If you get hurt on the field, it would be too unrealistic to just solve the problem with a goal.

Carvajal and Marcelo, the two full-backs, didn't even have the strength to speak.

tired.

Today, Qin Ming ran from left to right and then back from right to left, putting them under immense pressure.

My nerves were constantly on edge, and I dared not relax.

Even so, he was still passed several times, leaving him in a sorry state.

"Congratulations."

Zidane walked over to Wenger and said.

The two are from the same country in France, so they naturally know each other. Zidane even had a conversation with Wenger in France before he became the coach of Real Madrid.

Wenger gave him a lot of guidance that day.

"Thank you. Your tactical skills have improved rapidly, especially the adjustment in the 60th minute. To be honest, I really had no other choice."

Wenger wasn't being modest; he genuinely couldn't think of a solution.

Real Madrid's squad depth is unmatched by Arsenal's; players like Bale and Asensio on the bench can deliver decisive blows in the later stages of a match.

"President Qin can find a solution when there seems to be no other way, or rather, he is the best solution."

Zidane gave a wry smile.

Arsenal's victory today wasn't entirely unexpected. In the early stages of the match, Wenger's well-structured tactical arrangements did indeed gradually drag Real Madrid into a quagmire.

It was a struggle to climb out.

He was ruthlessly kicked back by Qin Ming.

Wenger smiled but did not answer. Indeed, in some predicaments, individual ability becomes the only way to break the deadlock, but very few people in the football world can do it.

Fortunately, there is one in the Arsenal team.

See you next season.

Zidane didn't say much, quickly walking towards the players' tunnel; he still needed to comfort his players. That's how football matches are.

Every year's major tournament, every year's Champions League, is like a day in life; when the day ends, some people are happy, and some are sad.

But no matter what, whether happy or sad, tomorrow will come on time.

We have to keep going.

On the pitch, the Arsenal players, still immersed in joy, were celebrating when Qin Ming took the neatly folded red cloth handed to him by Qin Zhihong.

The people in the vicinity had doubts.

Qin Ming grabbed the two corners and lifted it up. A gentle breeze blew in Cardiff, allowing the red cloth to unfold completely.

It was a bright five-star red flag.

How about we drape our national flag after winning the Champions League final?
Qin Ming didn't actually think too much about it, or perhaps he did think a lot about it, such as the fact that countless compatriots were watching the game late at night.

So what's wrong with letting this flag, which symbolizes his roots and glory, fly in the highest arena of football?

Wouldn't it be better to share this joy with our fellow countrymen?
Qin Ming draped the five-star red flag over his body.

Golden stars shone brightly on his red and white Arsenal jersey, which was soaked with sweat and grass stains.

The soil for Chinese football has been turned over and fertilized, but it's still not enough.

"What you are witnessing now is the greatest moment in the history of Chinese football! Without a doubt!"

"This scene will become even more iconic than Liu Xiang winning gold at the Athens Olympics or Yao Ming being selected as the NBA's number one draft pick!"

"We have seen this flag fluttering in the wind countless times at the Olympic Games and on the track and field!"

"But tonight it appeared in the highest hall of European football, a place we could only look up to before!"

"I am Zhan Jun, and like everyone else, I am incredibly fortunate to have witnessed this night!"

Zhan Jun is already looking forward to next year's World Cup.

On the stands, Tian Man and Qin Zhihong looked at Qin Ming with pride. "Winning glory for the country"—these four simple words represent the biggest dream of so many people.

Morata was also draped in the Spanish flag with great pride.

Spanish fans just weren't fond of him. If it weren't for that goal he scored, which was an exaggerated fake shot followed by a real cut, Real Madrid might have actually been able to defend their title.

Twenty-five boys!
Florentino's face was ashen. He regretted not having Arsenal sign an agreement to ban Morata from playing against Real Madrid.

How much money has Xia Chuang lost now because of those eight or ten million?

inestimable!

Florentino's expression gradually softened as he gazed at Qin Ming, who was celebrating with his teammates.

Cristiano Ronaldo's dominance is declining with age, although his influence is gradually increasing. However, compared to the rising star Qin Ming, Ronaldo and Messi seem to be no match for him.

After all, Arsenal's Champions League journey this year was quite impressive.

They topped the group in the "Group of Death," beating Atletico Madrid to advance, then defeated Dortmund, Barcelona, ​​and Juventus in the knockout stage, and finally beat Real Madrid in the final.

They wiped out all three of La Liga's top teams.

Bale, whom he had intended to support, had performed poorly due to injuries.

"The core puzzle of the new Galactic warship has emerged."

Florentino is a businessman.

Qin Ming's performance in the competition and his enormous commercial potential made him extremely covetous.

Florentino got up and dialed the phone.

He plans to orchestrate a takeover battle during the summer transfer window aimed at reshaping the world of football.

Barnett, standing not far away, was all smiles. Mendes had often mocked him, saying he couldn't develop a Ballon d'Or winner.

What now?
Is there still any suspense regarding the 2018 Golden Globe Awards?
The decade-long dominance of Messi and Ronaldo is coming to an end, and a new era is about to begin.

"Comfortable."

Barnett stretched, his eyes sharpening again.

For players, the end of the season means a short break; for agents, the end of the season is when they get busy.

He wants to leverage other teams' interest in Qin Ming to demand the biggest contract extension in Arsenal's history.

Who would mind having too much money?

This time, none of the Arsenal players dared to bring champagne into the locker room.

After all, AC Milan's experience was too disastrous, so they quickly changed into new jerseys and returned to the pitch.

The podium has been set up.

Below is a carpet printed with the UEFA Champions League logo, and the Champions League trophy, symbolizing the highest honor for European clubs.

Suddenly, rousing music began to play.

First, the runner-up team went on stage to receive their awards. UEFA President Alexander Ceferin, special guest Ian Rush, Welsh football legend, and other UEFA officials stood in the center of the stage and presented each member with a silver medal.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Ramos, and others remained expressionless, shook hands, and immediately walked off the stage, unwilling to linger for even a second longer.

Then he quickly took off the medal.

This seems to be not an honor, but a great disgrace.

After the Real Madrid players received their medals, it was the champions' turn.

Substitute players, staff members, and starting players took turns stepping onto the podium, beaming as they received their medals.

Qin Ming was the second to last to appear.

Arsenal fans erupted in a loud cheer.

"If I had known the boss would let me be the captain, I would have been more modest," Mertesacker said enviously.

When selecting a team captain, the length of service was not considered.

Instead, it's a vote.

Without a doubt, Morata, Kanté, and others voted for Qin Ming, and Wenger even specifically asked Mertesacker for his opinion.

He said it was perfectly acceptable.

Because he knew that Qin Ming was the one who could lead Arsenal to greater heights.

I still feel envious.

Wenger walked onto the stage with a smile amidst cheers, and Alexander Ceferin solemnly raised the trophy and handed it to Wenger.

"Now it's yours."

Alexander Ceferin is very satisfied with today's match.

It wasn't a boring 1-0 scoreline, but a fierce 3-2, which boosted the ratings.

"Now it's ours."

Wenger then handed the trophy to Qin Ming, who immediately felt its weight upon holding it.

It truly lives up to its name as the Big Ears Cup; it's heavier than the Bundesliga trophy, the Europa League trophy, the Premier League trophy, the Community Shield, and the EFL Cup trophy.

Qin Ming walked up to the Arsenal players and bowed slightly.

"coming!"

He suddenly raised the trophy.

Behind them, dazzling fireworks and billowing red confetti erupted.

Those faces, brimming with joy, were captured on camera.

"Arsenal are the champions!"

On the night the Champions League final ended, Qin Ming and his teammates returned to London, which was only a two-hour drive away.

But to their surprise, London was already completely blocked.

Keep in mind that it was late at night, and it took a lot of effort to get to the Colney training ground, where the area was already surrounded by Arsenal fans who had come to celebrate.

"I can't go on anymore, I want to sleep!"

Qin Ming was really not in the mood to celebrate, so he just randomly picked a dormitory room and didn't plan to go home.

The other team members, full of energy, sneaked off to enjoy the nightlife.
