Football: Starting from the Ronaldinho template

Chapter 361 The view from the top of the Eiffel Tower, the pinnacle of football

"Arsenal played very aggressively after scoring, giving Tottenham absolutely no time to breathe!"

"Don't be fooled by Tottenham's numerical superiority in midfield, Arsenal are clearly going to go head-to-head with them. Qin's move to break free was incredibly daring!"

"Pretty!"

"It really happened!"

Paul Dutton has lost count of how many times he has said this.

Moussa Dembélé was forced to commit a foul and received a yellow card from the referee. Moussa Sissoko, who shares the same name with him, prompted Alido to drop back and participate in the defense.

The two of them couldn't hold on at all.

However, Alli also had something to say: if he drops back, Fabinho and Kante will have to rely on Eriksen, and the Dane clearly can't handle two players at once.

Harry Kane rubbed his thigh and said, "How about we move the defensive line back a little?"

"no!"

Vertonghen immediately objected.

Once their defense pushes back, it's out of their control. Arsenal can do a lot in the attacking third, which is also within Qin Ming's shooting range.

Therefore, you can only move forward, not backward.

Even if you can't hold on, you have to.

Once the game resumed, Tottenham really couldn't hold on. The two Musas were running left and right, being pulled around in a sorry state.

The 31th minute of the game.

Dembele suddenly burst out, dribbling past Ben Davies on the wing and then cutting inside to get past the covering Musa Dembele.

"Wait for your teammates to come up!"

"Looking for a combination, look at this shot!"

"Pretty!"

"The ball is in!"

Paul Dutton watched as Qin Ming received a pass from Dembele at the edge of the penalty area and unleashed a powerful shot, finding a tricky path through the crowd and sending the ball into the bottom right corner of the goal.

Arsenal's lead has been extended.

This goal also symbolized the complete failure of Pochettino's tactics.

He considered Arsenal's tactics but failed to properly assess the level of both teams' players, resulting in what seemed like a well-designed setup that ultimately yielded less than ideal results.

Newly crowned FIFA World Player of the Year Qin Ming celebrates with a fist pump after scoring twice.

As he watched the vibrant red and white crowd in the stands, a huge wave surged through his heart.

I still feel more comfortable playing against Tottenham.

The historical significance of the North London derby made the goal all the more exciting.

The Gunners kept raising their arms and chanting, occasionally taunting the Tottenham fans who had recently vandalized their memorial tiles.

We have to teach them a lesson today and let them know who's in charge in North London.

From now on, the king of London will no longer be Bayern Munich, but only Arsenal.

“Come on you Arsenal!!!”

The cheers that resounded through the sky continued for a long time.

The first half ended with a score of 2-0. After the start of the second half, Tottenham made adjustments and launched two threatening attacks.

Harry Kane pulled one back in the 51st minute with a header.

But before Tottenham fans could even celebrate, Arsenal also scored from a corner kick, with Morata getting to the first ball and finding the net.

The score reached 3-1, and neither team gave up.

Keep fighting!
However, the high-pressing tactics caused Tottenham to lose energy quickly after 70 minutes, which significantly reduced their performance.

Qin Ming found an opportunity to advance forward in midfield.

His graceful and agile figure swayed back and forth, successively dribbling past Mousa Dembélé, Vertonghen, and Dier.

He broke into the penalty area and scored with a shot before being dispossessed by Ben Davis.

The score remained 4-1, which left the Gunners somewhat disappointed. It was a real shame they couldn't treat Tottenham to a 7-Up.

But winning is fine.

Sky Sports: Qin Ming scored a hat-trick in the North London derby, bringing his goal tally to 22. He may be able to reach the total number of league goals in the previous few seasons that the Premier League Golden Boot winner has achieved before the halfway point of the league season!
4-4-2: Terrifying goal-scoring efficiency! The annual record of 100 goals may seem as fragile as a piece of paper in front of him!

The Guardian: Nobody is saying whether Qin Ming can break Messi's or Ronaldo's records now, because he is making his own history!

Six days later, in the Champions League group stage, Arsenal will face Sevilla.

Qin Ming did not play. He had played too many tough matches in early November, so Wenger told him to take a break. You should know that in December, Arsenal will face Manchester United, Southampton, West Ham United and Liverpool in the league schedule.

There are a total of nine matches in December.

On average, there are more than one game every three days, which is very frequent and intense.

Arsenal won 1-0 against Sevilla in this match. Two days later, in the 12th round of the league, Arsenal played away against Burnley. Qin Ming, who started the match, killed the suspense early on.

His brace helped Arsenal secure their 12th consecutive league win.

In their final match of November, Arsenal will host Huddersfield Town, who are currently fifth from bottom in the standings and just two points away from the relegation zone.

Beep-beep-beep!
The Emirates Stadium erupted the moment the final whistle blew.

8-2!

Just now, Cazorla chipped the ball over a defender in the penalty area, Morata's shot from close range hit the goalkeeper, and Qin Ming followed up to score.

Happy Fourth of Year!
Another quadruple win!

"Arsenal, the second most valuable team in the Premier League, has shown great strength at home!"

"As the defending champions, aiming for a three-peat, they have remained undefeated in the first 13 rounds of the league, firmly holding their place in the top group of title contenders!"

"However, in such a fiercely competitive Premier League, Arsenal knows the importance of every game, and they must maintain their winning streak to avoid falling behind in the intense title race!"

"Facing Huddersfield Town, a newly promoted team and currently at the bottom of the table, Arsenal gave their opponents no chance, easily winning 8-2!"

"This victory not only demonstrates Arsenal's strength and deep foundation, but also foreshadows their firm steps on the road to a three-peat in the Premier League!"

Paul Dutton remarked.

The current Arsenal has an even stronger presence than last season.

They never falter when playing against strong teams, and they perform consistently well against weak teams.

As for brushing the ball?

If you only rely on scoring in high-stakes matches, you won't be able to reach the record of 100 goals in a year.

That's absolutely impossible.

"Pretty!"

"After Qin's signature pendulum dribble, all that remained for his opponent was his back!"

"This is Arsenal's absolute core!"

In the match against Manchester United in early December, Qin Ming, under the spotlight, dribbled past Smalling one-on-one and went one-on-one with De Gea.

Instead of taking an easy shot, they opted for a pendulum attack.

The massive left-right swaying left De Gea completely bewildered, and his proud K-shaped block was thwarted.

The goal was breached in the next second.

1-0! ! !

The faces of the Manchester United players were a mix of emotions, with Pogba's expression tinged with despair. Since entering the top five leagues, he had never felt so powerless in front of one person.

He put aside his pride and played pragmatic football, but in the end, he was still completely outplayed by Arsenal.

Lingard, Martial, and Lukaku sighed. They were all still young, but the thought of Qin Ming made them feel hopeless about the future.

When the gap between the two sides becomes too large, they lose even the courage to chase.

Mourinho also looked dejected in the cold wind.

Once a man full of youthful vigor, his first words upon landing in Britain were, "I am the special one." More than a decade has passed since then.

Gray hair replacing black hair.

The pride that was ingrained in his bones seemed to have been wasted.

Wenger looked on with some emotion. In the summer of 2004, Mourinho arrived at Chelsea with the aura of a Champions League winner, and won the league title twice in three years, which impressed both Ferguson and himself.

However, Mourinho is indeed too stubborn.

That's just how football is; the turnover rate is incredibly fast. Guardiola played possession football, Klopp went for a heavy metal style, and he himself has always been pursuing a youth-oriented approach.

Mourinho's defensive counter-attacking strategy was an advanced concept more than a decade ago.

In today's context?
doesn't work.

The harshness of this industry doesn't just apply to the players.

The same goes for coaches.

"Every time Arsenal takes the lead, they control the tempo of the game, making it very difficult for Manchester United!" "Huh?"

"Pogba seemed to lose his temper, colliding with Sanchez and then stamping on him. Let's see how the referee will rule."

"At least one—"

Before Paul Dutton could finish speaking, referee Marina pulled out a red card.

Pogba was stunned, as if doused with cold water, and instantly calmed down, quickly explaining to the referee.

But Marriner urged him firmly to leave immediately.

Pogba opened and closed his mouth several times, but still couldn't say anything. He turned and walked towards the players' tunnel.

Manchester United, already trailing, faced an even tougher challenge with a player sent off.

The counter-attacking strategy turned into pure defense, because Pogba's role at Manchester United was to bridge the gap between the back and the front.

Without him, Manchester United can only blindly launch long balls to find their strikers.

However, Lukaku, Martial, and Lingard had no chance against the tight marking from Kanté and others.

"De Gea received the highest rating after the match!"

"Even with the team down to ten men, he made eight consecutive saves against Arsenal's shots, leaving Qin Ming sighing in frustration!"

"But Arsenal still managed to win 2-0!"

Paul Dutton was completely convinced.

On the field, Qin Ming walked over to De Gea to exchange jerseys, his words conveying a sense of helplessness.

To deal with De Gea, you have to get past him one-on-one.

Otherwise, it would be much more difficult for him to score with a long-range shot than for players like Courtois and Lloris.

De Gea's smile was bitter.

Everyone says that weak teams have good goalkeepers because they get shot at a lot, but he doesn't want to be in the spotlight at all.

Tired!

At the post-match press conference, Wenger brought Qin Ming with him.

The reporters asked a few casual questions about the game before shifting the conversation to the Golden Globe Awards ceremony five days later.

"Qin, are you confident that you can win the Golden Globe Award?"

The Sun reporter got straight to the point.

"I'm quite confident, what about you?"

Qin Ming smiled.

After announcing the list of 30 candidates on October 9, which was then voted on by journalists selected by France Football, France Football published the final rankings of the 30 candidates in reverse order.

The final three winners were announced on the spot.

He certainly couldn't say that France Football had already approached him to film a short film.

Moreover, this year, the Golden Globe Awards held its first-ever awards ceremony, choosing the iconic Eiffel Tower as the venue.

"Qin, have you obtained the relevant information yet?"

The reporter asked again.

"Not yet, but the answer will be revealed in five days, and I'm really looking forward to it."

Qin Ming answered.

Who wins the Golden Globe?

In fact, all fans, players, and journalists around the world have the same answer.

They just weren't sure until they received confirmation.

But Qin Ming dared to do so, not because of the phone call from France Football, but because of his absolute trust in himself.

This year's Golden Globe will be his.

"Qin, everyone is saying that you're aiming for an undefeated season, or even a perfect championship. What's your take on that?"

Another reporter, knowing there wouldn't be any explosive news, simply changed the subject.

"The unbeaten season is Arsenal's proudest moment in history, and we are following in their footsteps. If we can surpass them, that would be even better."

Qin Ming nodded in agreement.

He has already carved 13 "W"s on that wall, and tomorrow he will carve another "W" from today. He doesn't know if he will lose in the future.

All he can do is give it his all.

On December 7, Arsenal defeated Roma in the Champions League group stage, ending their group stage journey.

Sevilla advanced to the knockout stage as the second-placed team in their group after defeating APOEL Nicosia on goal difference.

In the early hours of the morning, Qin Ming, along with several teammates and a professor, set off for Paris, France.

They were there to attend the 62nd Golden Globe Awards.

Standing beneath the Eiffel Tower, with the chilly Parisian wind blowing, Qin Ming thought back to the previous year.

He won the Silver Globe Award.

When the runner-up becomes the cruelest praise, perhaps there will be a reunion in a different hue.

The Eiffel Tower, the most memorable building in Paris, is a must-see for every tourist.

The lights are on full display tonight.

The annual feast of the football world is about to begin.

The eyes of fans all over the world are focused on it.

Messi and Ronaldo still showed up here. Last time, UEFA and FIFA both said that players should not be absent without a valid reason.

They attended those two matches but not this one. Aren't they disrespecting France Football?

Do you still want the Golden Globe Award in the future?
The awards ceremony was held on the first floor of the Eiffel Tower, and this year's host was David Ginola, former French Footballer of the Year and Premier League Player of the Year.

However, he played for Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.

The faces of legends such as Ronaldo, Kaká, Roberto Carlos, and Cannavaro were captured by the camera.

Good evening, everyone!

David Ginola spoke with some emotion, because he was about to present an award. The recipient's life was beautiful.

not like him.

Sometimes, people put in hard work but may not achieve the success they desire; instead, they may encounter numerous obstacles in their lives.

On a gloomy day in November 1993, he made a basic mistake during the World Cup qualifier between France and Bulgaria, shattering the French dream of winning the World Cup.

Some call him a traitor to the nation.

He was truly heartbroken at that time.

As a wanderer who had drifted overseas, he set out with hope, and his season at Newcastle United was quite successful.

They finished as runners-up in the league.

Unfortunately, Manchester United is even stronger after their rebirth.

It goes without saying that he went to Tottenham.

No crown.

"Third place goes to Lionel Messi from Argentina, who plays for Barcelona!"

Messi stood up to accept the applause, then silently sighed and sat back down.

"Second place!"

"Cristiano Ronaldo, from Portugal, plays for Real Madrid!"

Cristiano Ronaldo stood up with a polite smile.

But anyone could see the bitterness in his eyes. This year he was actually very, very close to the Ballon d'Or, so close that he was just one goal away.

pity.

Cristiano Ronaldo seemed a bit down.

"Next, we'll announce the final winner!"

David Ginola glanced at the card and, in the silent hall, clearly called out a name.

"He is Qin from China, from Arsenal!"

Congratulations to him!

The large screen flashed, and the dazzling Eiffel Tower appeared on the screen, rapidly zooming in as the camera zoomed out.

The young man's back came into view.

He turned around, extended one index finger, and then clenched his fist in celebration.
