Football: Starting from the Ronaldinho template

Chapter 344 The opening match of the 2017-18 Premier League season
"With just two days to go before the start of the new Premier League season, the opening match will be between Arsenal and Leicester City, marking the first time in Premier League history that the opening match will be played on a Friday!"

"During this holiday season, Premier League teams are waving their chequebooks and recruiting new players for their teams."

"In the new Premier League season, we will see some new equipment, new faces, and new rules that we need to adapt to."

"The Premier League now boasts the highest club television broadcasting revenue share in the world, and clubs have raised their budgets to a new level. As of today, Premier League teams have spent £10.34 billion on transfers this season."

"With three weeks left in the transfer window, Premier League teams are likely to break the £11.65 billion record set last summer."

"Two years ago, Qin's transfer fee of 90 million pounds broke the world record. Now, Neymar has doubled that record. However, I think if Arsenal were willing to sell Qin, there would definitely be a team willing to pay 250 million pounds."

"For the new season, the Premier League has also changed its official match ball to the Nike Ordem V, provided by Nike. The new ball is described as having the best feel for the ball."

"So, what will Wenger's 22nd Premier League season be like?"

See you in two days.

The Sky Sports presenter said this on the show.

However, the Premier League's popularity has recently been overshadowed by one thing: the unsolved pizza scandal from 11 years ago.

"Like I said on the radio a few years ago, I know it was done by a very skilled Spanish guy. Even when he was throwing pizzas, his technique was so good, like throwing a frisbee."

Three years ago, well-known commentator Martin Keown said this on the radio.

But Ferguson said, "I suddenly found myself covered in pizza, and everyone said it was Fabregas who did it, but I really didn't see who threw it."

Wenger said, "I know who did it, and you know too."

Until a few days ago on the A League of Their Own program.

Fabregas finally admitted it.

The host asked him, "Can you unravel the mystery of 'Pizzagate' today? Did you do it?"

"Yes!"

Fabregas's answer was simple.

"I suddenly heard a noise and I was thinking, what's going on? Then I took a slice of pizza and went outside, and I saw Campbell, Ferdinand, and Keown. They were pushing each other."

“I wanted to help, but I didn’t know what to do, so I threw the pizza, and then I saw who it hit on the head. That wasn’t my original plan.”

Fabregas smiled wryly.

"Where exactly did the pizza hit Ferguson?"

The host asked another question.

Fabregas didn't respond, but instead patted his face. "I apologize to Sir Alex Ferguson. I really didn't mean to throw it at him."

Many people participate in this program.

Qin Ming was among them; he simply smiled and made no comment.

Until the host asked him a question.

"Qin, I heard that when you were in Wolfsburg, you stepped on Rudiger's ribs and even brought him a gift to visit him. Now that he's come to the Premier League this season, is there anything you want to say to him?"

The host really doesn't mind the excitement; he started stirring up trouble right from the start.

Even if Qin Ming dislikes Rudiger, he wouldn't publicly criticize him. "The intensity of the Premier League is much greater than that of the Bundesliga. I hope he can find his rhythm soon. I'm also looking forward to the match against Chelsea."

He played for three seasons and encountered many players, but Rudiger was the most disgusting, even more disgusting than Ramos.

The new Premier League season has not yet introduced VAR technology.

If Rüdiger wanted revenge, he wouldn't mind making the other man recall his time in Stuttgart.

"Haha, just kidding. Qin, next month is your 21st birthday. What are your hopes for your 22nd birthday?"

The host skipped over this topic.

"Yes, Ronaldo at 21, Best at 22, Owen at 22, and Messi at 22."

Qin Ming gave a half-smile to the camera.

The host immediately understood, "It seems Qin wants to become the fifth player under the age of 23 to win the Ballon d'Or."

This is indeed a very difficult thing to do in the world of football. It's a pity that even if Qin Ming wins the award, he will not be able to break Ronaldo's record of 21 years and 96 days.

Unless the Golden Globe Awards can be presented in November, but that's almost impossible.

"Then I wish Qin will achieve his dream soon."

The host didn't rule out any definitive statements.

Who knows what might happen? In the season Bayern Munich won the treble, Ribery had already won an award, but FIFA postponed the ceremony and held a new vote to select Ronaldo.

However, if Qin Ming doesn't win the Globe Award this year...

The authority of France Football would likely be greatly diminished.

After all, Qin Ming's stats are terrifying, beyond the reach of players like Ronaldo and Messi, and his online support is also far ahead.

As for commercial value...

Thanks to Barnett's meticulous efforts, the products Qin Ming endorses have gained increasing international influence, which has already had a positive effect on him.

In addition, his technical style is unique.

2017 8 Month 12 Day.

The Premier League opening match was held at the Emirates Stadium.

This summer, the Emirates Stadium underwent renovations, and there were plans to erect a bronze statue of Herbert Chapman next to his statue.

But the professor stopped him, saying he didn't want to do these commemorative works during his tenure.

Arsenal Football Club has reconsidered the plan to lay two rows of paving stones with special markings on the main road leading from the subway station to the stadium.

The left side shows the information for each of the 49 unbeaten matches in the 2003-04 unbeaten season.

The right side shows the match information for each game of the quadruple winners in the 2016-17 season, and the end shows the date and score of the Champions League final.

When fans walk onto the field following the footsteps of history, they can feel a strong sense of pride and honor.

"North London forever!"

Arsenal's new team song is gradually filling the area around the Emirates Stadium.

At the pre-match press conference, when a reporter asked the professor about his expectations for the new season, he flashed the bright gold cufflinks on his sleeve, saying, "Let Arsenal fans be excited about the game on match day mornings."

No matter how many championships and honors he wins, he is still Arsène Wenger.

His football philosophy, which he has upheld for most of his life, will not change.

Former Leicester City assistant coach Shakespeare was promoted to head coach in March of this year.

He said he would do his best to make up for the regrets of the season before last.

Before the match started, the players' tunnel was bustling with activity. Qin Ming raised an eyebrow at Maguire, a player he had faced off against the burly center-back many times before.

Maguire looked serious.

He felt immense pressure every time he faced Arsenal because Qin Ming's technical characteristics were too restrictive for him.

Hopefully, James and Ndidi, the two defensive midfielders, can step up their game.

"I heard Real Madrid formed an anti-PSA alliance. I wonder if our club is involved?"

As is customary, Morata chatted with Qin Ming about gossip before the match.

"Probably not, we're not considered a wealthy family."

Qin Ming shrugged. Although Arsenal is one of the Premier League's Big Six, it doesn't quite meet the standards of a top club yet.

Unlike Real Madrid, Juventus, Milan, Barcelona, ​​and other clubs with numerous Champions League titles.

"That's true."

Morata nodded and began explaining the science.

It's said that Paris Saint-Germain's big-money move for Neymar has angered other European giants, and a few days ago, Real Madrid and Juventus formed an anti-PSA alliance, demanding that UEFA thoroughly investigate PSG.

Essentially, it reflects the deep-seated fear among traditional powerhouses of Paris Saint-Germain's rule-breaking tactics.

Platini's Financial Fair Play policy for clubs was not supported by the top European clubs. After Platini was ousted by Blatter, UEFA's control over the top clubs and major leagues continued to decline.

Paris's unconventional approach made the big clubs realize that the old rules of the game had been overturned.

No matter how rich and powerful a football club is, it cannot withstand the erosion of football by Qatar's sovereign wealth fund.

Whether a new order can be established or the old order can be maintained depends on who can prevail over whom.

Qin Ming neither confirmed nor denied this.

In today's football world, it's truly difficult to get anywhere without money.

"The match has begun!"

"Welcome to the first round of the 2017-18 Premier League season!"

Arsenal host Leicester City!

"In a World Cup year, all players will give their all to strive for a good performance in order to qualify for the national team!"

"With all the Premier League teams strengthening their squads, it will be much more difficult for Arsenal to win a third consecutive Premier League title than it was two seasons ago!"

"I wonder if they can overcome the difficulties?"

詹俊解说道。    目前，只有曼联做到过三连冠，还是在1998-99赛季、1999-00赛季和2000-01赛季。

Nineteen years have passed.

The competition in the Premier League is becoming increasingly fierce, and almost no club can replicate Manchester United's three-peat.

Currently, Arsenal has the lowest odds in the betting market.

Leicester City still plays like a small team, and they have managed to balance the impact of Kante's departure through tactics.

The departure of players like Drinkwater still had some impact.

After Qin Ming noticed this, he directed his teammates to attack the right flank and surround Albrighton.

The Englishmen were immediately thrown into a panic.

Compared to two seasons ago, Arsenal now knows how to accelerate whenever they want.

"go!"

Qin Ming made a move to pass the ball to Dembele, who was making a forward run.

In reality, he faked a dunk, brushed past Albrighton in the paint, and then dunked to accelerate past James.

Dembele, Morata, and Sanchez quickly moved forward, with the two full-backs following suit, instantly forming a fan-shaped attacking formation.

"Go away!"

Qin Ming directly chose to teleport to the remote end.

boom!
Sanchez threw himself out and slid in to shoot.

Arsenal fans were all ready to celebrate when Kasper Schmeichel flicked the ball, sending it hitting the outside of the post and bouncing out of play.

A series of sighs of regret echoed through the Emirates Stadium.

They were just a hair's breadth away from scoring and getting off to a dream start.

Qin Ming held up one finger.

Gestures actually change every season, otherwise they would be easy for others to decipher.

For example, Arsenal's first corner kick tactic last season was to control the ball, slowly penetrate from the sideline, and look for opportunities to shoot from long distances.

What now?
Leicester City fans in the away stands nervously rubbed their hands together.

The ball was sent directly into the penalty area by Sanchez.

At the same time, Morata jumped at the near post, and Van Dijk cut in from outside the penalty area, attracting the attention of several Leicester City players.

"Not them!"

Maguire had been instructed before the match to keep a close eye on Qin Ming.

After a quick assessment, I determined the trajectory of the football and that it would land in the back.

He had just spoken.

The scene seemed to darken slightly, and a figure rose up from the ground.

Looking up, I saw Qin Ming.

How did you jump so fast?
Maguire had no time to think and immediately sidestepped to block the shot, but Qin Ming patted his shoulder and, ignoring the loss of balance, swung his head at the goal.

boom!
The football blasted past Schmeichel's outstretched fingers.

Arsenal fans immediately perked up, glancing up at the scoreboard. Only eight minutes into the game, they had already scored a goal.

Looks like we're going to have a great start today.

"Beautiful! Arsenal's first goal of the new season, Qin's first goal!"

"The Premier League goal record for last season stands at 46 goals!"

What about this season?

"I don't think anyone can predict the final outcome, just like no one knows Qin's limits!"

Paul Dutton clenched his fist.

"That goal was not Arsenal at all."

Schmeichel gave a wry smile and got up from the grass.

Maguire nodded in agreement.

He then looked at Qin Ming, who was celebrating with his teammates, and felt that Qin Ming's positioning seemed even more unpredictable compared to last season.

I really want to be Qin's teammate.

Maguire felt that his childhood dream should be the same as Morata's.

Unfortunately, Arsenal didn't want him, saying he was too slow and didn't fit Arsenal's tactics.

Courtside.

"We've been using the 4-2-3-1 formation for too long. We can try 4-4-2 in the future, so Qin won't play as a shadow striker. Instead, he can play as an attacking midfielder. I think the effect should be quite good."

Pat Rice could see that the potential of this formation had been realized.

Arsenal, having reached the pinnacle of European football, will inevitably be studied by countless teams.

The consequence of not seeking change is being kicked off the mountaintop.

"Yes, we could even try a three-center-back formation to increase the number of players in midfield who can control the ball and achieve better control of the game."

Wenger nodded.

He felt that Conte's three-center-back system was quite worth learning from.

Moreover, after a season of growth, Van Dijk is capable of becoming a pillar of the defense, which fits the requirements of a three-center-back system.

The game continues.

Leicester City, who failed to even finish in the top ten last season, have continued to have a mediocre performance in the new season.

After Arsenal scored, they lost their composure and pressed forward as a whole, trying to regain the rhythm.

Arsenal's passing and possession style didn't give them any chances.

Flaws only appear under high intensity and fast pace. Football flows like mercury, and in this process of passing and controlling, Leicester City's defense was unknowingly torn apart with multiple gaps.

Snapped!
Robert's ability to pass forward is better than Bellerin's.

Seizing the opportunity, he delivered a through pass. Qin Ming received the ball and feinted, eliciting gasps from the Arsenal players on the field.

His dazzling skills are full of charm, showcasing his ingenuity and dynamism.

James and Ndidi were both beaten by each other, one in front and one behind.

When Maguire made a clumsy sliding tackle, Qin Ming lifted his right foot and flew over with the ball.

The ball was passed to Morata.

Morata is having a blast; playing for Arsenal is just so enjoyable.

He deliberately slowed down, waiting for Morgan to cover before passing the ball to the wing.

Dembele dribbled into the penalty area with the ball, but before he could pass it, Fuchs hooked his right foot, and he fell down with a thud.

She's just like Lin Daiyu in a forbidden zone.

The referee didn't hesitate and immediately awarded a penalty kick; the action was too obvious.

Dembele looked at Qin Ming expectantly, and Qin Ming smiled and said, "Osman, next time for sure."

Handicap?

impossible.

He's also thinking of breaking Messi's record of 50 league goals in a single season.

Schmeichel prayed to his father.

On August 25, 2007, in the match between Manchester City and Arsenal, Peter Schmeichel saved Robin van Persie's penalty at the Emirates Stadium.

Ten years later.

Schmeichel stood on the goal line with piercing eyes.

On the sidelines, Wenger recalled a comment he made after that match: "I hope I never run into Schmeichel's grandson."

Now that it's my son, he should be alright, right?
Sometimes penalty kicks are truly unpredictable. Qin Ming kicked the ball to his most familiar left side, but Schmeichel anticipated it and blocked it with one hand, sending it out into the penalty area.

Qin Ming was already prepared for a follow-up shot, and he went up and sent the ball into the goal with his left foot.

"Oh! Schmeichel makes a save, Qin Ming—"

"They scored! Arsenal extended their lead before halftime!"

Qin Ming scores twice!

"I think Qin Ming might need to practice penalty kicks more; he can't always stick to the same angle!"

Zhan Jun offered his sincere advice.
