Football: Starting from the Ronaldinho template

Chapter 339: Sweeping Premier League Individual Honors, FIFA Global Cover Star, Transfer Stories

The Premier League awards ceremony was held in June, and Qin Ming took some time to return to London.

Eleven players stood on the luxurious and dazzling podium.

2016-17 Premier League Team of the Year.

Goalkeeper: Petr Cech (Arsenal)
Defenders: Bellerin (Arsenal), Stones (Manchester City), Van Dijk (Arsenal), Kyle Walker (Manchester City)

Midfielders: Mane (Liverpool), Kante (Arsenal), Hazard (Chelsea)

Forwards: Lukaku (Everton), Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur), Qin Ming (Arsenal)
Arsenal have five players in the best XI.

De Gea originally had a chance to compete for the best goalkeeper, but Cech's honors this season were just too impressive.

However, there are gains and losses. De Gea made 30 appearances this season, conceded 24 goals, kept 12 clean sheets, and won the Golden Glove award.

De Gea stepped down from the podium and glanced at it helplessly.

There were hardly any teammates in the entire venue.

Although Manchester United won the Europa League title, their league performance was not satisfactory, but fortunately they secured a Champions League spot.

They can play in the Champions League next season.

Given the current injury situation within the team, it's unclear how long Ibrahimovic will need to rest.

The road ahead is fraught with difficulties!

"Now let's welcome the Premier League's best player!"

"Qin Ming!"

The host gestured an invitation, then stroked his chin and said, "Well, let's present a few awards together: the Premier League Player of the Year, the Premier League Young Player of the Year, the Premier League Golden Boot, and the Premier League Goal of the Season."

The large screen behind him was replaying Qin Ming's 46 league goals this season.

clap clap clap!
Thunderous applause filled the hall, and Ferguson, sitting in the audience, was filled with memories, recalling the 2007-08 season.

The competition in the Premier League was unprecedented at that time.

Every team gives their all for honor.

Cristiano Ronaldo, a 23-year-old Portuguese youngster, dominated the field with unparalleled dominance.

He scored 31 goals in 34 league matches, winning the Premier League Golden Boot.

He scored a total of 8 goals in the Champions League and won the Champions League Golden Boot.

He not only achieved a grand slam of personal honors, but also went on to become a Ballon d'Or winner and FIFA World Player of the Year.

Qin Ming is stronger now, and his stats are even more impressive.

Everything is sending a clear signal: the landscape of the Premier League has been completely transformed, and a beautiful and powerful new era led by Arsenal has arrived.

I wonder if Manchester United will ever have that day?
Qin Ming straightened his clothes, smiled, and walked onto the stage. The host pointed to the four trophies next to him and said, "Qin, you can't win them all by yourself. Give others a chance in the future."

"I will continue to work hard next season."

Qin Ming pretended not to understand and said something that made Harry Kane, Lukaku and others look bitter.

Should we keep trying?
Is he going to break Messi's record of 50 league goals?
Or is it the 100th goal of the year?
Each one is a terrifying record that makes people hesitate to even think about it.

"Then I'll look forward to it."

The host handed the stage to Qin Ming, saying, "Please give your acceptance speech, winner of our four major awards."

Qin Ming stepped to the center and looked down at the crowd below.

Each of them is a well-known name, and some have even created miracles in the past, leaving a deep impression on people as coaches and players.

But I stand under the brightest spotlight.

pride?

No one would not be proud at this moment.

Qin Ming's already upright posture seemed to straighten even more out of thin air as he grasped the microphone and gave a brief acceptance speech.

After the awards ceremony.

Qin Ming and his teammates gathered together, and Morata patted the trophy as if he were the one who had it.

"The summer transfer window opens tomorrow; I wonder what news we'll get."

Qin Ming, Morata, Kante, and the others had all spoken and had no intention of leaving Arsenal, so there was no need for them to be too careful about what they said.

The Premier League summer transfer window opens on June 16, while La Liga's opens on July 1. Serie A, Ligue 1, and the Bundesliga follow the same schedule as La Liga.

The Premier League closes four hours earlier than other leagues.

"Olivier is preparing to go to Chelsea. I heard that Diego Costa has a conflict with the coach, and Chelsea is currently short of a center forward."

Morata sighed.

He could understand Giroud's thinking; no one wants to stay on the bench forever, especially a player of Giroud's caliber.

If it were me, I would probably make the same choice.

"Qin, I heard that Paris Saint-Germain wants to pay 2.5 million euros to buy you. Do you think our club will agree?"

Morata suddenly whispered.

Qin Ming shook his head, indicating that it was unlikely. Although Arsenal used to be very poor, who would want to come up with that much money? Not to mention the captain, even the vice-captain could be taken away.

But it's different now.

To be honest, Paris Saint-Germain is really rich. The owner behind them is no wonder he's in the oil business; he must be making money faster than a printing press.

If I remember correctly.

Neymar was apparently bought for over 2 million euros during the summer transfer window, and PSG also signed Mbappe.

Unfortunately, Ligue 1 is too weak in competitiveness and doesn't attract as much attention as the Premier League and La Liga.

Therefore, Qin Ming wouldn't go to Paris just for the money.

Qin Ming didn't rest during his holiday; he traveled all over the world to secure endorsements. When he came to the United States, he participated in an EA event and shot a global promotional cover.

He also specifically recommended Kanter to EA.

People like Morata, who are not short of money and come from wealthy families, cannot understand why Kanté still lives so frugally.

Therefore, Qin Ming doesn't mind bringing Kant along when making money.

After all, Kante does the dirty work in the game so that I can attack without any worries and without the risk of losing the ball.

“I feel very proud and honored to be the global cover ambassador for FIFA 18. I am very fortunate to have been chosen. I can hardly express my feelings right now.”

"My time has come!"

This is a statement he made on his personal social media platform.

It's not that he's that immature, but rather that EA requires that the spokesperson for FIFA games must be the strongest.

FIFA 18 producer Mike Hardy believes Qin Ming is the perfect choice to be the spokesperson for the new game.

“Our cover ambassador has always been the world’s best player. He has a unique way of playing football, and he is such a special person.”

"FIFA 18 will be officially released on September 29th. In addition to the standard game version, there will also be a Qin Ming special edition waiting for everyone!"

This is what he said in a media interview.

However, Messi's fans were not convinced, because starting with FIFA 2013, Messi appeared as the global cover ambassador for the FIFA game for four consecutive years.

Of course, this is not surprising. Before signing with EA, Messi won the FIFA Ballon d'Or for three consecutive years in 2010, 2011 and 2012.

According to the "player selection criteria" of the FIFA football game, Messi was naturally the best choice at the time.

However, Messi's four-year contract expired.

The two sides did not renew the contract.

The spokesperson for 2017 was not Cristiano Ronaldo, who won three Ballon d'Or awards in the four years from 2013 to 2016.

It was Reus.

Perhaps it's because he's handsome? However, the FIFA endorsement curse has always been a topic of discussion in the football world.

Kaká was the spokesperson for FIFA 11, Barcelona was the La Liga champion at that time, and Brazil also performed poorly in the World Cup.

Rooney was a spokesperson for both FIFA 11 and 12, and as a result, Manchester City won their first Premier League title.

Messi became a FIFA brand ambassador starting with FIFA 13, and Real Madrid won the league title that year, ending Messi's monopoly on the Ballon d'Or.

Look ahead further.

David Beckham was the ambassador for FIFA 98, Thierry Henry graced the cover of FIFA 02, and Ronaldinho appeared on the cover of FIFA 2004.
Almost his entire career was filled with setbacks.

Moreover, last season's regional representatives, James Rodriguez, Martial, and Hazard, have all suffered setbacks. Martial is in poor form at Manchester United, James Rodriguez has become a substitute at Real Madrid, and Reus has been plagued by serious injuries.

Hazard also performed exceptionally well at Chelsea but missed out on the title.

"Osman, you're pretty good at games, have you considered coming to Arsenal?"

Qin Ming put down the controller and looked at his side, at Dortmund's rising star Dembele.

Suddenly he remembered something.

Dembele's performance was mediocre whenever a good game came up, and he even let Messi down later, only to pay back a big price.

There are quite a few good games this year.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, Assassin's Creed, etc.

Maybe we shouldn't buy Dembele?
"I usually play games a lot, Qin. If I go to Arsenal, will I still be able to play games? I heard you guys train a lot."

Dembele was actually quite interested.

Keep in mind that this is Arsenal. To become a player under Wenger and a teammate of Qin Ming is undoubtedly the greatest temptation for any young player.

"It's alright, it shouldn't be as tiring as Dortmund, I feel quite relaxed."

Qin Ming shook his head.

Wenger's training methods differ from Klopp's; he doesn't require players to run like mules, but rather to master ball control.

Not very tired.

Of course, the annual physical conditioning period is when you really train like crazy.

This was inevitable. If it weren't for their excellent physical reserves, it would be hard to say who would have won the Champions League final.
In modern football, which emphasizes total football, the most important thing is to meet physical fitness standards.

"Shall we play one more round?"

Dembele shook the controller, finding it quite enjoyable to be able to dominate Qin Ming in the game.

"come on."

Qin Ming silently switched to another person and created "himself".

It has an overall score of 98, a 5-star rating for its weak foot ability, a 5-star rating for its fancy foot skills, and also possesses a unique mechanism.

When it comes to numbers, nothing else matters.

Even if Dembele plays well, Qin Ming controls himself and only needs to accelerate and push off, and no one can keep up.

Dembele stared in disbelief at the ultimate gold card.

Before the game is officially released, it will definitely be nerfed a lot, otherwise how will other players play it?
Although Qin Ming in reality seems even more unsolvable.

The European football scene has been bustling since the summer transfer window opened.

Every day, there are breaking news stories and all sorts of rumors. According to those editors, Qin Ming has already split into countless people, going to various teams.

"What if I offered him a weekly wage of 500,000 euros?"

"It's not like we can't afford it. If Qin can join us, with our strength, we'll definitely be stronger than Arsenal, and winning the Champions League will be within our grasp!"

"Let's suspend the transfers of Neymar and Mbappe for now and focus all our funds on Qin!"

"If 250 million isn't enough, then 300 million!"

This scene is unfolding at the Paris Saint-Germain training ground.

Club president Nasser Al-Khlefi, with a sharp gaze, looked at sporting director Antero Henrique across from him and said, "Antero, we've all seen it, and you and I both understand, he's no longer just a player, but a phenomenon, a phenomenon we must have!"

“I understand, Mr. Chairman. But Arsenal will never sell Qin, and Wenger will refuse the transfer. As for the player himself, having just become a Champions League winner, his motivation to leave is almost zero.”

Antero Henrique gave a wry smile.

"Tell Arsenal that we can pay in full upfront, yes, that's enough for them to rebuild the club!"

Nasser Al-Khlefi feels heartbroken when he thinks about missing out last season.

"Also, contact Qin's agent and tell him that we can give him 100% of his image rights, and we only need the part related to the club. We will set up a personal brand fund for him, and the Qatar Investment Authority will be directly involved!"

“Tell Barnett that Qin will be the flagship of our Qatar 2030 National Vision in the field of sports!”

Nasser Al-Khlefi's words made Antero Henrique's eyes widen.

crazy!

Such scenes are not unique to Paris.

Barcelona, ​​Spain, inside the FC Barcelona training ground.

“Robert, Ernesto, we all saw it, that kid. He reminds me of Ronaldinho, no, even earlier Cruyff.”

"That magic, that joy, he was born for Barça."

Barcelona president Bartomeu said.

Opposite them were sporting director Fernandez and the newly appointed head coach, Valverde, who replaced Enrique.

“Mr. Chairman, I completely agree. His skills and imagination may even surpass Leo’s. However, the Parisians will throw money around like madmen, and our finances will be very strained after renewing Leo’s contract.”

Fernandez was in a difficult position.

“Tactically speaking, he is the perfect piece of the puzzle. He can play as a left winger, filling in for Neymar. He can also play as a false nine, becoming Messi’s perfect partner.”

"He can even drop back into midfield and organize the attack with Andre."

"But how do we persuade someone who has just won everything to leave?"

Valverde gets excited just thinking about the attacking trio of Qin Ming, Messi, and Suarez.

Fernandez is right, Barcelona has neither money nor fame compared to other clubs.

After all, Barcelona is unlikely to offer Qin Ming the same treatment as Messi.

So why did they leave Arsenal?
Not everyone has a dream like Fabregas or Bellerin.

"Didn't Neymar want to leave?"

Bartomeu tapped the table. He shook his head, thinking that there was no such thing as trading Neymar for Qin Ming.

But I don't know if adding another 100 million euros would be feasible?

The atmosphere in Real Madrid's president's office was somber; the sting of defeat in the final still lingered.

"Cristiano is still great, but he is no longer young. Gareth, we can no longer pin our hopes on uncertainty."

"We all know Qin's performance, we know it better than anyone else. He not only won the game, but also showed us the potential ceiling of future football."

"He must be ours."

Florentino is not only interested in Qin Ming's abilities, but also in the commercial value behind him.

If Qin Ming joins Real Madrid, then Real Madrid will have the opportunity to become the greatest club in football history, bar none.

Just as fans were making wild speculations.

On the last day of June, Arsenal's official website released the news.

To all Arsenal players, it is with immense excitement and pride that we announce that the club has reached an agreement with Qin Ming on a new contract.

The whole world is shocked!
