Football: Starting from the Ronaldinho template

Chapter 351 Sevilla was thrashed by a quadruple goal!
After finishing their match against West Bromwich Albion, Qin Ming and his teammates arrived in Spain for the second round of the Champions League group stage.

Their next opponent is Sevilla.

Last season, Sevilla lost their coach and captain, with Emery going to PSG and Koke going to Schalke 04, but they did not experience any turmoil.

Since 2000, Sevilla returned to La Liga under the leadership of veteran coach Caparrós. They experienced a short period of glory under Juande Ramos, as well as "failing" seasons under Marcelino, Manzano, and Mitchell.

However, the team has never fallen out of the European competition group.

All of this is thanks to Monchi, the only person at Sevilla who hasn’t changed positions in nearly 15 years.

He survived three chairmen and nine head coaches.

"Sevilla had a great start to the season, going on an eight-game unbeaten run across all competitions. However, they suffered their first defeat of the season last weekend when they faced their toughest opponent yet, Atletico Madrid, and lost 0-2."

"But overall, the performance is still fine."

"Furthermore, Sevilla has the advantage of playing at home. They have remained unbeaten in 22 home games across all competitions since late November last year. During this period, they faced Real Madrid, the La Liga champions and Champions League runners-up, twice and achieved a record of 1 win and 1 draw. This shows that they are extremely competitive at home."

"Their opponents, Arsenal, have a perfect record of 14 wins in the Champions League."

"The last time we lost was in the 2015-16 Champions League semi-final, where we lost to Atletico Madrid by one goal over two legs."

Can Sevilla defend the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán Stadium?

Sky Sports Spain reported this.

In fact, most people don't have high expectations for Sevilla, even though they are touted as the "Kings of the Europa League".

But the problem is
During his season with Wolfsburg, Qin Ming defeated Tottenham and all the Serie A teams, including Sevilla in the final.

Sevilla scored first in that match.

This has led fans to believe that Sevilla is poised to become the true king of the Europa League.

As a result, Wolfsburg scored four goals in a row, and Qin Ming broke the Europa League all-time goal record, lifting the championship trophy in the most dominant manner.

The Sevilla Killer!
Before the match, Arsenal fans chanted slogans and gave Qin Ming another nickname.

Some people even wrote Qin Ming's nickname on a banner.

Standing before you now is a long list of Champions League, Europa League, and Premier League goal-scoring records holders, Merseyside killers, and Tottenham nemesis – enough to make your head spin.

"Ancient stories are being told, and a miracle was born on October 14th!"

"His mother was Seville and gave him this name!"

"And give him believers to defend him!"

On the day of the match, the Seville team anthem filled the Pizjuán Stadium.

The team songs of La Liga teams are all pretty average. Barcelona's team song sounds like an Ultraman theme song, and Real Madrid's team song sounds like a wedding concerto.

None of them are very good.

However, the team songs of the now-declining Italian A teams are quite good.

Of course, Premier League teams' anthems are also acceptable. In the top ten anthems selected by "4-4-2", Liverpool ranked first, Manchester United ranked second, followed by Juventus, Sampdoria, Arsenal, Bayern Munich, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Chelsea, and Sevilla.

After warming up, Qin Ming arrived at the players' tunnel.

The Sevilla team next door had all arrived; he glanced at them and recognized them all.

Banega has been performing exceptionally well for the Argentine national team recently.

He's said to have a vision comparable to Iniesta's, and he's one of the most important men behind Messi's World Cup victory.

Is it possible for Argentina to win the championship next year?
And then there's Nzonzi, a towering figure almost two meters tall, who plays as a midfielder and scored his first Premier League goal against Arsenal.

His playing style is similar to Vieira's.

There was another guy on the bench, I think his name was Kiyotake Hiroshi.

Qin Ming remembered reading a report before about three Japanese national team players challenging 100 elementary school students, and the result was self-evident.

Two passes tore apart the dense defense of 60 primary school students.

The Champions League theme song suddenly started playing. Qin Ming had heard it many times, but he still found it very exciting.

It's just that the Sevilla fans don't really welcome them.

When the camera came in front of him, the entire stadium booed.

So what if we beat you in the Europa League?
Good evening, everyone!

"This is a live broadcast of the second round of the 2017-18 UEFA Champions League Group A!"

"This match will have a huge impact on the final group winner, as it represents the two teams with the best chance of advancing from this group!"

The camera panned to the stands!

Coach Zhan Jun has once again activated his automatic person recognition mode.

"It's Song Hye-kyo and Song Joong-ki. They're getting married at the end of October, so they're probably on vacation in Spain right now?"

"Alright, the match has started, Sevilla kicks off."

"Montella's coaching style is characterized by a lack of distinctive features. Recently, in the list of the ten worst coaches evaluated by foreign media, Montella ranked seventh. During his time coaching Fiorentina, he only won six out of 27 games, with a win rate of 22.22%, and his average points per game was a pitiful 1.08."

"The top-ranked player is Howard Wilkinson, who has managed Sunderland for 27 games with a winning percentage of 14.81%."

Zhan Jun introduced the game while it wasn't very intense at the beginning.

Sevilla, playing at home, were not in a hurry. Instead, they quickly passed and moved in their own half, patiently waiting for an opportunity to advance.

Arsenal's defensive positioning was just too solid.

They didn't give them a chance.

The difference between Spanish and English teams lies in their technique.

The low standards of refereeing in the Champions League have resulted in many Premier League teams performing poorly in the competition.

But Arsenal is an exception.

Their footwork was even better than Sevilla's, and once they gained possession by pressing forward, the game completely changed.

Arsenal play more like a La Liga team.

Sevilla could only find opportunities through sporadic counter-attacks.

"Take it towards the center!"

Qin Ming pointed with his index finger, and Dembele immediately moved inward, allowing Roberto to make a run to the wing.

This is one of Arsenal's most frequently used tactics.

However, they have many variations. When Sevilla compressed their defense, Roberto suddenly received the ball and made a long diagonal pass.

Find Sanchez on the other side.

The long-distance pass created a gap in Sevilla's defense.

Qin Ming didn't hesitate to move to the left to provide support, but En Zongqi kept following him, and his 1.9-meter height made him a formidable opponent.

Qin Ming could only admit defeat.

But he was never a player known for his physical strength, and suddenly he turned around and ran back and forth.

Enzongqi was startled.

However, Arsenal's coordinated attack had only just begun when Sanchez made a sudden stop and passed back to Monreal, who then played a through ball.

Wow!
The dazzling passing and cutting skills finally came into play.

"Beautiful positioning, beautiful pass!"

"Arsenal's passing and movement are like works of art!"

"coming!"

Paul Dutton hadn't finished speaking.

Qin Ming has broken into the penalty area and is facing Lenglet, the defender who was scouted by Barcelona and even offered 30 million euros, but Sevilla did not sell him.

She pedaled the bicycles smoothly for two minutes.

Lenglet reacted instinctively.

Snapped!
The football rolled toward his supporting foot, and Qin Ming followed closely behind like a gust of wind.

A dull thud was heard, and the white net was lifted up, like white waves surging.

0-1! ! !

"My God! Qin's individual performance is amazing. When he's in the penalty area, he's the most efficient killer!"

"Every touch of the ball makes the defender's heart race!"

"In the 25th minute, Arsenal scored the first goal, and the scorer was—"

"Qin!!!"

Paul Dutton roared.

A brief silence fell over the Pizjuán Stadium as Sevilla fans looked at Arsenal's number 10 and thought of Wolfsburg's number 14 three years earlier.

His figure remained as graceful and elegant as ever. It seemed that time had left no mark on him.

wrong!

Sevilla fans suddenly remembered that Qin Ming is neither Messi nor Ronaldo, and is older.

He's only 22 years old!
Sighing and lamenting, they knew they would likely be unable to defend their home turf today.

Let's stick with competing with Roma for second place in the group.

On the field, Qin Ming had finished celebrating with his teammates, and when he looked back at the goal, his eyes were filled with longing.

He genuinely wanted to break Messi's record—or rather, to raise his annual goal-scoring record to triple digits.

In this process.

Breaking Messi's record is just the beginning.

It's impossible not to score goals; Sevilla's performance today was clearly poor.

"Keep it up, guys!"

Qin Ming clenched his fist.

"Ow!"

Morata is now playing with energy against his former club and against teams in La Liga and Serie A.

Roberto was also eager to try.

His arrival at Arsenal wasn't a pleasant experience; it was more like he was forced by the club to be swapped with Bellerin.

He has lost all illusions about the club he admired since childhood.

From now on, I'll work hard at Arsenal and try to beat Barcelona in the Champions League this year, just like Morata did.

The game starts again.

Montella stood anxiously in the command area, realizing that Arsenal's tactics were very effective against his team, and he was unsure whether his on-field adjustments would be effective.

Wenger crossed his arms and remained silent.

He observed silently for a while and came to a conclusion.

The more Montella directs the players, the more chaotic things become.

This guy is probably not suited to be a coach; no wonder he made that list.

"Qin scored a hat-trick in his first Champions League match. How many more will he score in this game?"

"By the way, so far, since the Champions League format change, only two players have scored five goals in a single match: Messi in the 2011-12 season when Barcelona beat Bayer Leverkusen 7-1!"

"The second person is Adriano, a player with the same name as the Brazilian striker. In the 2014-15 Champions League group stage, Shakhtar Donetsk beat BATE Borisov 7-0 away, and it was in this game that Adriano equaled Messi's record!"

Paul Dutton looked at the screen expectantly.

But scoring seven or eight goals against Sevilla is no easy feat.

Paul Dutton felt there was little hope.

Perhaps Qin Ming can do it against APOEL Nicosia.

However, the next second he opened his mouth wide.

Qin Ming received a pass from Dembele on the right side of the penalty area and scored with a powerful shot from a tight angle.

Sevilla goalkeeper Rico had no chance to react.

Another one?
Scored twice!

Paul Dutton celebrated just like countless other Arsenal fans.

In the 31st minute of the match, just six minutes after the previous goal, Arsenal extended their lead.

The Sevilla players looked completely bewildered.

Something is wrong!

I've never felt this way playing against Real Madrid or Barcelona in La Liga.

Enzongqi was panting heavily, clutching his knees. He wanted to overpower Qin Ming with his physical strength, but Qin Ming was like a slippery eel.

You're just wasting your energy running around for nothing.

"Start the offensive!"

Montella understood one thing well: he absolutely couldn't let Arsenal play smoothly, and that simply defending was meaningless.

We must put defensive pressure on Arsenal.

Even strong defenses like Real Madrid and Juventus couldn't withstand Arsenal's firepower.

"Sevilla's advance was very determined!"

"We need to find Correa, the right winger!"

When did Kanté come out?

"Fuck!"

Spanish commentator González clutched his head.

The dark-skinned Kanté appeared like a ghost, suddenly emerging from the blind spot to steal the ball to his feet.

He doesn't stick to the ball.

He decisively passed the ball to Fabinho on the flank, letting the former Monaco midfielder organize the attack.

"I'm here!"

Roberto made a decisive forward run, received the ball, and then passed it along the wing to find Dembele who was accelerating.

Cross from the byline.

Morata's header, which slammed into the crossbar, sent a chill down the spines of Sevilla fans.

It's not over yet!

"Watch out!" Lenglet saw the ball bounce back to the edge of the penalty area and caught a glimpse of that familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.

His partner, Pareja, immediately went to block the way.

Qin Ming stopped the ball with his chest, but did not completely dissipate the force; instead, he exerted a slight force.

Let the football bounce up a second time.

Just as Pareja came to intercept, he deftly flicked his right foot upwards.

The football evaded Pareja's foot, spinning as it fell onto the grass. Qin Ming was already prepared, taking a half-step back with his right foot to support his body, and then swung his left foot out with a powerful strike.

boom!
The football hurtled towards the goal like a cannonball.

Sevilla goalkeeper Rico reacted this time, but the powerful force transmitted through his fingertips told him that the ball was going in.

As expected, the ball was deflected but still couldn't get off the goal frame.

"A hat trick?"

"In Qin's first three seasons, oh, this is his fourth season, and he has always performed better in European competitions than in the domestic league!"

"Especially in clashes between strong opponents!"

Paul Dutton feels like a five-goal game is really on its way.

Three goals had already been scored before the first half was even over.

"Look at Qin Ming's handling this time, his dazzling skills are full of charm, fully demonstrating his ingenuity and dynamism!"

"Those who can play football to an extraordinary level will always leave you speechless without you even realizing it!"

How could Arsenal fans not be excited?

He Wei sighed.

So beautiful.

Montella, standing on the sidelines, suddenly felt dizzy and quickly grabbed the assistant coach next to him.

Qin Ming played a part in helping me leave Florence back then.

Could it be that I've only been in Seville for a short time, and now Qin Ming is going to make me unemployed again?

Wenger clapped lightly.

He could tell that the Arsenal players had found their form, and today's victory should be assured.

Of course, scoring three goals in the first half is still risky.

Paul Dutton's five-goal tally didn't materialize, and Arsenal left the Pizjuan Stadium with a 5-1 lead. Qin Ming scored four goals, bringing his Champions League tally to seven.

The other goal was scored by Morata.

4-4-2: We are witnessing the most efficient team in football history in terms of goalscoring! Arsenal has also proven one thing: a perfect attacking trio is better than simply piling on superstars!
