Football: Starting from the Ronaldinho template

Chapter 349 Military Training, Route 66, Arnold
The sound of gasps of amazement echoed throughout Anfield Stadium.

Although Liverpool fans don't like Qin Ming, and even dislike him a little because of the consecutive losses to Arsenal.

But it must be admitted that watching Qin Ming play football is indeed a pleasure.

Klopp's expression remained calm, seemingly unaffected, but in reality, he was at his wit's end.

The initial tactical approach was almost perfect.

They also lured Arsenal into a trap, but Arsenal used the simplest method: letting Qin Ming use his individual strength to forcefully break through the tactical trap they had set.

This is a player who can bring his skills to their fullest potential and perfectly integrate into the team's overall operation.

That's absolutely outrageous.

Klopp believes that Qin Ming at this stage is even stronger than Messi at his peak.

Because Qin Ming has too many offensive methods.

He can do everything from dribbling and passing to headers and free kicks.

If Qin Ming had gone to Dortmund instead of Wolfsburg after being banned from the cafeteria by Ten Hach, he probably wouldn't have left.

He might even have a second spring in his career at Borussia Dortmund.

Reaching the Champions League title they were just one step away from back then is not entirely impossible.

"Ugh!"

Klopp grew increasingly frustrated and let out a heavy sigh.

I heard that at that time, Qin Ming sent emails to several clubs, containing his personal information, hoping for a training opportunity.

Borussia Dortmund, Stuttgart, Borussia Mönchengladbach, Bayer Leverkusen, Mainz, and many others—16 Bundesliga clubs have received the offer.

However, most clubs felt that Qin Ming's resume was average at the time, and since he couldn't even stay with Bayern Munich, his potential was naturally questionable, so they didn't take him seriously.

Only Wolfsburg, the financial backer of the Volkswagen Group, gave Qin Ming a trial opportunity in order to boost sales in China.

"Ugh!"

Klopp sighed heavily again.

Sometimes a single thought can make all the difference, and the impact of Qin Ming joining Wolfsburg has now spread throughout the entire football world.

Ten Hach became a laughing stock.

Apart from Wolfsburg, other Bundesliga clubs have also become a laughing stock.

FIFA has begun to pay attention to the treatment of young players, and has even set up a special department to conduct key investigations into club canteens to see if there are any restrictions on youth training players eating there.

What frustrated Klopp even more was that Qin Ming could maintain that state after unleashing his inner power.

abnormal!
The midfield defense was on the verge of collapse due to Qin Ming's attacks, and the penalty area became a tense and chaotic place.

Beep!
They barely made it to the end of the first half.

"That shot just now was a pity."

Qin Ming turned back, still savoring the moment, and looked at Karius in front of the goal. This guy's goalkeeping skills were pretty good.

If Karius hadn't flicked the ball on, my shot would definitely have gone in.

The Liverpool goalkeeper tensed up, instinctively focusing his attention and preparing to make a save at any moment.

It took me a moment to realize that it was halftime.

"Come on!"

Karius addressed Henderson and the other two.

"Ah."

Emre Can nodded sullenly. He plays as a right winger and has faced off against Qin Ming in the seasons before last and last.

Therefore, one can clearly perceive the changes in Qin Ming.

The technique has become smoother, especially the body movements, which seem to be accompanied by touches on the ball, as if they can change direction at any time.

It's hard to predict.

And then there's that insane footwork; all sorts of unbelievable skills can be performed by those magically enhanced feet.

They were willing but powerless.

Henderson rubbed his calf. He wasn't known for his talent, but rather for his hard work.

He was almost sold by Liverpool, but he recommended himself to the manager and was even prepared not to play or be included in the squad. It was only then that he gradually found his own style.

The excessive running caused him to develop plantar fasciitis.

This type of injury cannot be completely cured; recovery can only be achieved by gradually reducing running volume.

Previously, Liverpool's opponents were of average quality, so he could control his running, but today in the first half, he was almost run to death.

He estimated that he must have run nearly seven kilometers.

Keep in mind that this is only 45 minutes. He definitely won't play the full match today; he'll probably be substituted after 70 minutes.

Salah stared intently at Qin Ming's retreating figure.

He hates the nicknames fans give him.

Egyptian Messi.

Previously, Qin Ming was also said to be Ronaldinho's successor, but starting from the second year of Qin Ming's professional career, no one said that anymore.

Ultimately, it all comes down to strength.

Become stronger!
Salah silently encouraged himself.

Back in the locker room, Wenger reviewed the first half and told the players to prepare that Liverpool would apply the same pressure in the second half as they had in the first.

In short, it's about "getting a head start".

Arsenal does need time to get into rhythm and form through passing and movement, which makes it easy for opponents to seize opportunities during this period.

Of course, not everyone has that ability.

Liverpool clearly has that, so they need to be prepared and deal with high-pressing tactics in advance.

The fifteen-minute break passed quickly.

"Liverpool's attack after the kickoff was exactly the same as in the first half!"

"We still need to use Kanté as the breakthrough point. Sanchez has retreated very deep; he's completely turning himself into a sapper now!"

"But there don't seem to be many workhorses in the football world with such good statistics!"

Zhan Jun couldn't quite manage a smile.

He is a die-hard Liverpool fan, but his exceptional professionalism allows him to remain neutral during commentary.

Whether or not the commentator will criticize the content after finishing the explanation is another matter entirely.

Arsenal's style of play changed from the first half; they began to avoid direct confrontation, passing the ball more wide and reducing possession in the midfield and backfield.

They immediately counter-press after losing possession in the attacking third, putting pressure on Liverpool's organization as well.

Liverpool fans noticed their team constantly switching between attacking and defensive modes, panting heavily from exhaustion.

Qin Ming suddenly retreated to receive the ball.

Dembele and Sanchez tucked in, with both full-backs pushing forward in unison.

Klopp was invigorated.

Arsenal are being too daring; if this formation makes a mistake, both flanks will be breached instantly.

Henderson was also aware of this.

Taking a deep breath, ignoring the burning sensation in his trachea, he gritted his teeth and lunged forward frantically.

Meanwhile, Phil Minnow was also secretly preparing a sneak attack.

"careful!"

Van Dijk shouted a warning, but Qin Ming didn't turn around and sprinted forward.

One-on-one?

The nerves of everyone in the room suddenly tightened.

Liverpool fans were stunned; it was completely different from what they saw on TV.

Qin Ming seemed to easily get past Henderson, Liverpool's captain and Gerrard's successor, with a low shoulder and an outward flick.

Suddenly another red figure rushed out.

Wijnaldum, the Dutch midfielder, is a versatile player and a hard worker.

Klopp called him the perfect midfielder.

He is the third most expensive player in Newcastle's history, after Owen and Shearer, and he also scored four goals in a single match.

Qin Ming listened to the sound of the wind rushing past his ears and saw Wijnaldum adjust his footwork and launch a shovel!

The timing was good.

Qin Ming had no intention of continuing to break through. After getting past Henderson, he prepared himself and made an outside push.

The ball was passed to Roberto on the right.

The former Barcelona full-back adapted quickly to Arsenal, using a simple one-two pass to continue his forward run. Dembele received the ball and flicked it with his heel.

Seemingly knowing Qin Ming would be there, and Qin Ming actually received the ball, then passed it to Sanchez on the left.

The football traces a simple yet sharp trajectory on the green field.

Sanchez then sprinted forward with the ball, forcefully dribbling past Matip, and as Karius approached...

He stopped abruptly, evaded Matip's pursuit, and delivered a backhand pass.

The cameras could barely keep up with Arsenal's pace. When that blue figure entered the frame, the Gunners immediately recognized him from those shoes.

The camera pans rapidly, focusing on Arsenal's number 10!
Qin Ming, carrying Emre Can, curled a shot with his right foot.

Karius was still on the left side of the goal at this point.

Aside from teleporting, you can't catch the soccer ball.

Arsenal then scored the winning goal.

1-2! ! !

"Arsenal found their form in the second half against Liverpool!"

"Look how beautifully that goal was scored!"

"The passing and movement of multiple players advancing together was like the gears in a precision machine, perfectly coordinated!"

Zhan Jun praised him wholeheartedly.

The tide has turned in Arsenal's favor, but Liverpool are never a team that gives up easily.

This is also why Zhan Jun likes Liverpool.

The melodious tune of "You'll Never Walk Alone" filled Anfield.

After celebrating, Qin Ming clapped his hands. Putting aside the fact that they were opponents, he also admired Liverpool quite a bit.

Liverpool's tactical design today was also very interesting.

While others avoided Kanté, Liverpool focused their attack on him, first containing Arsenal's key defensive midfielder.

Their midfielders simply couldn't withstand their firepower.

The attacking players also had a slightly poorer ability to capitalize on opportunities, so it seems that Coutinho's departure has had an impact.

But think about it.

Coutinho plays a very important role in Klopp's tactics.

Joe Gomez was the first to give out, and Qin Ming was positioned further to the left wing today compared to the previous game.

This resulted in Joe Gomez being attacked by Qin Ming and Sanchez several times.

The player who came on was Trent Alexander-Arnold, Liverpool's Young Player of the Year last year, who has decent attacking ability.

Wenger then substituted Cazorla for Sanchez.

Wenger whispered a few words to Cazorla.

He signaled for Cazorla to play as an attacking midfielder, and for Qin Ming to play as a left winger.

Qin Ming readily agreed.

Having finally come across Highway 66, I definitely had to try it out and see how smoothly it ran.

Arnold defended against two waves of attacks and broke out in a cold sweat.

He was never good at defense.

He was brought on to increase the attacking intensity on the same side as Salah.

Who knew that Qin Ming would switch places? Not only was he restricted to the midfield and backfield, but Salah also had to keep tracking back to defend.

"Hoohoo!"

Taking advantage of the brief moment when the ball went out of bounds, Adno's chest heaved like a bellows as he gasped for breath.

Qin Ming squinted his eyes in comfort.

Sure enough, Arnold's defensive skills were a bit poor. He received the ball on the left wing and easily got past Arnold with a simple change of direction. Arnold couldn't even grab him.

He broke through the out-of-bounds ball with a simple flick, a spike, and an acceleration.

Matip's timely intervention thwarted the attack.

It seems he lost his guard after getting past Arnold, otherwise he should have been able to chip the ball over Matip.

"coming!"

"Their third matchup!"

"Qin Ming didn't need any fancy maneuvers; he simply accelerated down the wing and beat Arnold cleanly. Unfortunately, Morata's volley in front of the goal went high!"

"Arnold got a real beating from Qin Ming!"

Zhan Jun helplessly covered his face.

In less than twenty minutes, Qin Ming was completely unstoppable against Arnold. Data shows that he broke through 3 times and succeeded 3 times, dominating Liverpool's crown prince in a one-on-one battle.

The singing at Anfield was a little quieter.

Liverpool fans don't think Arnold is bad; they just think their young star is unlucky.

They encountered the Great Demon King.

If Qin Ming plays as a left winger, he is the best player currently in the league.

wrong.

It's possible that he'll be removed from active duty now.

If Arnold could defend against that, he shouldn't be called Arnold, he should be called Maldini.

Before Liverpool fans could even feel sorry for them.

Qin Ming changed his breakthrough method again, leaving Arnold to watch him enter the penalty area. Matip tried to block the shooting angle, but Qin Ming suddenly passed the ball back in a triangular shape.

Cazorla met the ball and shot directly!
However, the ball hit Morata, who was twisting his waist as if he were doing a seaweed dance and trying his best to dodge, and then bounced off the goalpost and went out of bounds.

Liverpool fans were finally relieved.

"This"

Morata said, on the verge of tears, "This isn't my fault!"

He had already tried to dodge, but Cazorla's shot was too accurate. He should have just touched it; maybe he could have gotten it in.

However, it would have been pointless for him to score, because he was offside.

"Let's stabilize the pace first."

Qin Ming glanced at the time; eighty minutes had already passed.

Before the corner kick, Klopp substituted Milner for Arnold and Sturridge for Henderson.

He couldn't hold on any longer.

Looking at Arnold being trained by Qin Ming, you can see that he has high blood pressure.

Wenger followed up with substitutions, with Coquelin replacing Kanté and Mustafi replacing Sokratis.

The main focus is on strengthening the defense in the midfield and backfield.

Arnold was substituted off looking dejected. He should have played until the end of the game, as he wasn't exhausted yet, and a substitution was a valuable opportunity.

What does being replaced mean?
The performance is too poor.

Henderson patted Arnold on the shoulder, but didn't offer any comfort. He said that all young defensive players in the Premier League would eventually go through that phase.

Moreover, being trained by Qin Ming is nothing to be ashamed of.

In the final ten minutes of the match, the pace of attack and defense transitions was not fast. Liverpool chose to start aggressively in both halves, expending more energy than Arsenal.

They can no longer sustain an attack of the same intensity.

Arsenal looked for opportunities while in possession, but Milner was much more reliable than Arnold.

Beep-beep-beep!
When the final whistle blew, Liverpool fans were actually a little relieved that they had only lost to Arsenal by one goal.

It's worth noting that during the time Arnold was on the field, Qin Ming tore Liverpool's flanks apart.

To put it bluntly, it's a miracle that they didn't concede a goal. And Cazorla's shot, if Morata hadn't blocked it, would have been a sure goal.

"The key matches of the fourth round of the Premier League have concluded!"

Liverpool lost 1-2 to Arsenal, who secured their fourth consecutive victory and remain firmly at the top of the table thanks to their superior goal difference!

"Qin Ming's league goal tally has reached 11!"

"When the Champions League, the EFL Cup and other cup competitions start, and when the national team resumes its matches, how many goals will he be able to score?"

Will Messi's record of 91 goals in a year, which he failed to break last year, be broken?

"let us wait and see!"

Thinking about this, Zhan Jun's mood improved.
