Football: Starting from the Ronaldinho template

Chapter 345 A Grand Celebration!
"You guys played really well!"

Back in the locker room, Qin Ming raised his chin and spoke to his teammates.

"Isn't this what should be done?"

Morata chuckled.

Everyone else is waiting for an upset or to see Arsenal's weaknesses, but the more that happens, the more they need to win decisively and show their style and momentum in the first round of the league.

Otherwise, how can they achieve their goal of replicating the undefeated season that they mentioned during the holidays?

"Alright, let's look at this first."

Wenger tapped the tactics board. "Leicester City still poses a certain threat, especially their striker Vardy. Last season, Leicester City's performance was mediocre, but he was fifth in the top scorer list. He has a strong ability to seize opportunities."

“Ngolo, keep an eye on him and don’t give him too much space. Keep him out of the team.”

"And on the offensive end, Qin, you must be bold in pushing forward. Don't just play as an attacking midfielder. In the second half, you can play freely and do what you want."

Wenger said.

Qin Ming rested his chin on his hand, lost in thought, then nodded to indicate that he understood.

The second half of the game started soon.

Arsenal's slightly adjusted tactics put Leicester City under even more pressure.

Qin Ming's range of movement was also rapidly expanding, roaming between Leicester City's midfield and defense, making Maguire extremely nervous.

Despite the bright sunshine in London in August, he felt a chill in his heart.

I always feel that if I'm not careful, my skills will be overtaken.

It was like walking a tightrope at 10,000 meters in the air, but fortunately, Leicester City captain Morgan, with his rich experience, assisted him in defense.

The first 10 minutes of the second half went smoothly.

Arsenal, who were planning to speed up the game, made a mistake in their coordination in the attacking third. Dembele wanted to dribble past his opponent before passing the ball, but Qin Ming thought he would pass it directly.

This caused the two players' passes to each other to overlap.

The ball was intercepted by James, who then launched a long, over-the-top pass.

Neither Van Dijk nor Mertesacker noticed that Vardy's position was tricky.

Kanté saw it, but as he closed in, Vardy leaned heavily against him, using the momentum to accelerate his sprint.

"He's one-on-one with the opponent!"

"A golden opportunity for Leicester City to counterattack!"

"Vardy shoots! Cech couldn't save it, and it's in!"

"Leicester City pulled one back in the 60th minute!"

Paul Dutton scratched his head.

How could such a basic mistake happen to Arsenal?
Very strange!

On the pitch, Vardy retrieved the ball from the goal and waved to his teammates to stop celebrating.

They didn't come to the Emirates Stadium to suffer defeat.

They have to leave with points, no matter what, to dampen the morale of the defending champions.

"Could you please stop what I was doing?"

Dembele glanced cautiously at the sidelines and breathed a slight sigh of relief when he saw that Wenger hadn't let Cazorla warm up.

Even the most rebellious young players are afraid of sitting on the bench.

However, Wenger's usually good temper makes him seem less like a coach and more like an elder to the players.

Therefore, the feeling of oppression is not high.

Now that they know when to be ruthless and have learned from Mourinho, the team is indeed easier to manage.

And Qin Ming.

He's not exactly known for his good temper either. People who can become good friends with De Bruyne are usually known for their fiery tempers during matches.

In other words, wearing the captain's armband suppressed Qin Ming's violent temper.

"Just be more careful next time."

Qin Ming nodded expressionlessly. They were teammates, yes, but they were also professional players, and they couldn't always accommodate him.

If you really can't adapt, you'll be eliminated.

This is the cruelest and most realistic rule in professional football.

However, in the 70th minute of the match, Dembele was substituted off, and after Cazorla came on, Arsenal's attacking level improved significantly.

The first attack after the substitution.

Qin Ming initiated the passing and cutting on the right flank, making three passes to Roberto who was making a forward run, and Roberto curled a pass to the far post.

The ball bypassed both Maguire and Morgan.

Sanchez arrived quickly and scored with a powerful shot.

3-1! ! !

"The goal went in!"

Arsenal didn't give Leicester City a chance to gain momentum!

"Still a beautiful attack!"

"Furthermore, I believe that the sooner problems are exposed, the sooner they can be resolved, thus avoiding subsequent impacts!"

Zhan Jun explained.

At the Emirates Stadium, waves of red and white rippled as Qin Ming and his teammates celebrated.

Leicester City fans looked helpless.

It seems almost impossible to get points from Arsenal.

Let's try to secure another Champions League spot.

Leicester City is still too weak right now; they've only had their glorious moments and almost created a miracle.

They always hold onto hope deep down.

But hope is often accompanied by reality.

Beep-beep-beep!
The match ended quickly, with Arsenal winning 3-1 against Leicester City at home, securing a winning start to the 2017-18 season!

Arsenal fans walked contentedly through two rows of commemorative paving stones into the subway station.

However, people's attention was not drawn to this, but rather to Barcelona's panic buying spree, signing Coutinho from Liverpool for a record-breaking €1.1 million fixed plus €4000 million in add-ons as a replacement for Neymar.

Liverpool had their sights set on Sanchez, but Sanchez decisively rejected their offer.

He finally managed to switch from right winger to left winger after two long seasons, allowing him to return to his preferred position.

How could I possibly leave now?

Moreover, over the years he has come to realize that he is not someone who can stand on his own, and although this is a very unfortunate reality, he has no choice but to accept it.

So let's pursue more honors within our capabilities.

Liverpool then turned their attention to Wolfsburg's Draxler, who joined the German in August 2015 as a replacement for Qin Ming.

The performance was mediocre.

He made 31 appearances that season, scoring 8 goals and providing 7 assists.

The following year, he was internally suspended for expressing his dissatisfaction with the club on several occasions.

Wolfsburg was eager to act quickly and agreed to Liverpool's offer, and the two sides reached a swift deal.

There are still two weeks left until the summer transfer window closes.

All teams are rushing to make signings, and two days later, news broke that Arsenal had signed Swansea striker Fernando Llorente.

The Lion of the Basque Country!
Standing at 194cm tall and weighing 94kg, he possesses exceptional heading and physical strength abilities and has won the 2010 World Cup and the 2012 European Championship with the Spanish national team.

Although he is relatively old now, almost 33 years old, he is just right to be a substitute.

The problem lies in finding a center-back. Arsenal scouts have contacted many excellent center-backs, such as Barcelona's Umtiti and Skriniar, but have all been turned down.

The first round of the Premier League season concluded during the final stretch of the summer transfer window. There were some upsets.

Chelsea drew 3-3 with Burnley. Giroud's arrival at Chelsea has not yet been a successful integration process.

The chaos in the locker room may have been caused by Diego Costa.

其他的比赛，利物浦3-1沃特福德、曼城3-0布莱顿、热刺2-0纽卡斯尔联、曼联4-0西汉姆联，除了切尔西的强队都踢出了该有的表现。

"At the Champions League group stage draw and awards ceremony on August 25, the best player of last season's Champions League will be selected, and Chinese player Qin Ming currently has the lowest odds!"

"Following the Champions League play-offs that concluded midweek, 32 teams have qualified for the Champions League group stage. For the first time, the Premier League will have five teams in the Champions League group stage, while La Liga and the Bundesliga will each have four teams."

"For the first time since the 2013-2014 season, Serie A has had three teams participating in the Champions League group stage."

"It is understood that UEFA requires the best player nominees to be present, meaning that Messi, Ronaldo and Qin Ming will all be present at the awards ceremony."

"The situation where candidates with no hope of winning the award are absent will no longer occur."

August was a busy month for European football, with the transfer market in full swing and the highly anticipated new season of the Champions League.

People were still reeling from Arsenal's triumph in Europe.

A new chapter has begun.

Can the curse of defending the Champions League title be broken?
Fans are starting to look forward to the performance of Qin Ming, the curse breaker, in the Champions League.

Soon it was August 19th.

The second round of the Premier League begins with Arsenal playing away against Stoke City, a typical league of underdogs.

"Since Stoke City's promotion to the Premier League, they have been in the mid-table, but the team has always been known for its tough playing style, including victories against giants such as Arsenal and Liverpool."

"In attack, they have former England international striker Crouch, last season's Bundesliga striker Choupo-Moting, former Real Madrid star Jesé, and Diouf."

"In midfield, there's veteran Charlie Adam, former Dutch starlet Afellay, Fletcher from the Ferguson era, the team's biggest name, former Bayern and Inter Milan player Shaqiri, and one of Liverpool's many former players, Joe Allen."

"The defense is undoubtedly Stoke City's biggest problem this season, with a former Liverpool player Glen Johnson, former Dutch international center-back Indi, and Zouma returning from injury."

"Even England's goalkeeper Butland couldn't stop this old and injury-plagued defense."

"Arsenal were already leading by three goals by the 34th minute of the match."

Paul Dutton clicked his tongue, thinking that a tragedy might occur on the banks of the Trench River today.

The first goal came in the 17th minute when Fabinho made a long diagonal pass to the left wing. Sanchez received the ball, made a slight adjustment in the penalty area, and passed it across the middle. Qin Ming bypassed the defender and easily pushed the ball into the net.

The second goal came just two minutes later. Qin Ming made the same move, sending a through ball into the heart of the penalty area to Dembele, who was making a run down the right flank. Dembele then passed the ball across to Morata in front of the penalty area, who easily fired a powerful shot into the top corner of the goal.

The third goal came from Qin Ming, who, on the edge of the penalty area, left Fletcher, Joe Allen, and Zouma dizzy before unleashing a powerful shot that caught Butland off guard.

"King!!!"

Arsenal fans unfurled a poster that had been split in two in the away stand.

The image on the left is a black and white photograph.

The image on the right is a color photograph.

Seventeen years ago, in 2000, an elderly man passed away peacefully in Stoke-on-Tren in the West Midlands at the age of 84, having completed the final leg of his journey.

What is little known is that he left a valuable legacy in the history of modern football.

He invented many of the most creative football moves, such as feints.

and.

He was also the first Ballon d'Or winner before the Ballon d'Or was redesigned, and the first generation of football kings in modern football history. That black and white photo is of him, Stanley Matthews.

The one on the right is naturally Qin Ming.

Arsenal fans came today with respect, hoping that the former star player who once played for Stoke City could break the record of no one winning the Ballon d'Or in the Premier League since 2008.

Paul Dutton became increasingly uneasy as he spoke, if Stanley Matthews knew that his team had been thrashed by Arsenal.

What would you think?
Whether it was Stanley Matthews' blessing or not, Stoke City, nicknamed "Sky City," launched a beautiful counterattack.

Shaqiri cut inside from the right and passed to Jesé, who then chipped the ball to Choupo-Moting.

The latter headbutted Mertesacker's shin and bounced into the goal.

"Pretty!"

"Stoke City has won a point, so they need to play aggressively and decisively!"

"Let's throw this out-of-bounds grenade and teach the Gunners a lesson!"

The commentator on site shouted.

A few minutes later, Stoke City actually had a chance, and the wind direction was very favorable.

Britannia Stadium is one of the toughest away games in the world.

This is the away game that Robin van Persie mentioned he least wanted to play in an interview, the same place where Ramsey broke his leg years ago.

However, it lacked Delap, the grenade expert who could throw the ball more than 30 meters from the out-of-bounds.

Stoke City's throw-ins are generally ineffective.

Arsenal seized the opportunity, with Kante dispossessing Shaqiri and delivering a through ball to Sanchez.

The latter relied on Zuma to distribute the points to Monreal.

"here!"

Qin Ming quickly moved forward to receive the ball, then lowered his shoulder and changed direction.

In the howling winds along the Tren River, one could almost see the dashing and agile Matthews of the last century.

Qin Ming, who had just emerged from the space, no longer hesitated.

boom!
The football hurtled toward the goal like a cannonball. England's goalkeeper, Butland, dove to the side, but the immense force he felt from his fingertips sent a chill down his spine.

Sure enough, I looked back.

The football was deflected, but it still slammed into the goal.

"Ooooooh!"

"hat trick!"

"Qin! The first hat-trick of the new season came so quickly, is he really going to break the 50-goal record?"

"35 goals in the first season, 46 goals in the second season, what about the third season?"

"You'll never see the limits in him!"

Paul Dutton shouted passionately.

However, Paul Dutton didn't dare to dream, as Arsenal rallied again in the second half.

In the 60th minute of the match, Dembele received the ball outside the box and passed it to Qin Ming on the side. Qin Ming made a slight adjustment and unleashed a powerful shot from outside the box.

After conceding four goals, Butland's form deteriorated, and he was once again outmaneuvered by Qin Ming.

1-5!

Happy Fourth of Year!
After scoring, Qin Ming paid tribute to the Trench River, as he knew the legendary player Matthews very well.

Because there is a frequently used action.

Matthews slumped his shoulders.

Stoke City fans were unsure whether to boo or applaud at the sight.

Let's keep quiet.

Arsenal fans screamed, hoping to see five goals in a single match.

"Arsenal dominated the entire match, with possession reaching around 83% in the first 30 minutes, and their passing accuracy of 91% was also key to their high number of goals in this game."

"In contrast, Stoke City's performance was lackluster because they were down by three goals at halftime."

"And here they conceded another goal!"

"Here it comes again! Arsenal's attacking play, Dembele fires a shot from a tight angle, and it's in!"

"Stoke City has been completely wrecked!"
