Football: Starting from the Ronaldinho template

Chapter 362 The year draws to a close as we strive for the 91st goal of the year!
Paris in December is very cold. Qin Ming was dressed rather lightly, and even though he was in good physical condition, he was still freezing.

At the staff's suggestion, he picked up the Golden Globe and took the elevator back to the first floor of the Eiffel Tower, where the awards ceremony was being held.

Camera shifts.

Arsène Wenger, Thierry Henry, China national team coach Alain Perrin, Qin Ming's family and teammates witnessed this moment.

The first couple invited to the stage were Qin Zhihong and his wife. Since their English proficiency was not very high, Qin Ming acted as their translator.

"Yes, they were very happy and honored."

“They are proud of me.”

Qin Ming translated to the world with a bright smile. Once upon a time, he was confused and bewildered by his transmigration, but now he has already integrated into this identity.

Qin Zhihong and Tian Man didn't say much.

Wenger, however, spoke eloquently after taking office, recounting everything from Qin Ming's joining Arsenal to his own nervousness during that period.

"People always talk about talent, as if it determines everything, but I want to tell you that I have seen too many talented players."

"When I first saw Qin's training video, I saw not only talent, but also an understanding of the essence of football."

"There was a light in his eyes, not the look of a young man who wanted to become famous, but the look of a man who had found his place in life."

"Tonight, when he lifted the Golden Globe, what I was most proud of wasn't how many records he broke, or how many trophies he won."

"What I am most proud of is that throughout the entire process, he never betrayed the beauty of football. He proved that the purest form of football can overcome the most utilitarian era."

Wenger spoke softly, as if he were talking about something trivial.

"So I think this award is not just given to a player, it is given to football itself. It tells us that when you persist in beautiful things, beauty will eventually reward you."

Wenger concluded with this statement.

"Qin, after hearing Mr. Wenger's words, what are your thoughts?"

The host laughed.

"Maybe I just like playing football?"

Qin Ming shrugged and joked, "Of course, I will stick to my principles, just like my coach."

Wenger smiled and patted Qin Ming on the shoulder.

Inside the CCTV live broadcast studio.

"2017 was a dream year for Qin Ming, as he led Arsenal to win the Premier League, Champions League, Europa League, Community Shield and UEFA Super Cup titles."

"His performance in the Champions League was dominant. He scored 11 goals in the knockout stage, leading Arsenal to defeat the defending champions Real Madrid. He also beat Ronaldo and Messi to win the Champions League Golden Boot."

"His 46 league goals set a new record for the English top flight, leaving Premier League players feeling deeply powerless; it's a statistic that's hard for them to catch up with."

"However, they seem even more powerless this season because Qin Ming has scored 24 goals so far, averaging 2 goals per game, which is too efficient."

He Wei said.

"He also won the Ballon d'Or, which he had always dreamed of. As he said, last year's Silver Ballon d'Or was gilded with a dazzling gold, which also proved that at this moment, he stood at the top of the world football scene."

He Wei looked at Qin Ming on the screen and was filled with emotion.

Inside the venue, Perrin, Cazorla, and others also said a few words, and finally the microphone came to Qin Ming's hands.

"Receiving the Globe Award at the Eiffel Tower is a unique experience."

Qin Ming has received many awards, but when he receives the Golden Globe, his heart still races.

The future will likely be the same.

This award is so significant; for a professional player, it represents recognition.

"Except for feeling a bit cold standing up there."

Qin Ming calmed himself down and said, "I am very happy about this. This is an important moment in my career, and I have been waiting for this moment for a long time."

"Finally, we had a great season last year, winning the Premier League and the Champions League, and I personally won the Champions League Golden Boot. It is these honors that led me to the Ballon d'Or today, so I want to thank Arsenal and my teammates at the club and the national team."

Qin Ming waved and stepped off the stage with the Golden Globe Award.

Before taking his seat, he shook hands with Ronaldo, Messi, and a few others, and he saw the resentment in their eyes.

The Ballon d'Or is far more popular than the FIFA World Player of the Year award, spreading like a powerful shockwave from Paris to the global sports world.

"The monopoly of Messi and Ronaldo has been broken, just like Kaká ten years ago, who led Milan to an impossible victory by defeating strong opponents one after another to win the Champions League title."

"I saw a similar scene in the Champions League final a few months ago."

What will the future be like?

"The era of the two peerless heroes has ended, and a situation of one superpower and many strong contenders has emerged?"

"Maybe so, but judging from Qin's current performance and data, even Messi at his peak could only keep up with him."

"Of course, a professional player's true evaluation should include the number of years they have played."

"If Qin can maintain this level of performance, or even deliver an even more outstanding performance, I think his potential will be even higher."

Liverpool legend and presenter Jamie Carragher commented on the show on Sky Sports.

Amidst global buzz, Qin Ming returned to London with the Ballon d'Or, and in the league match against Southampton, he delivered a stunning hat-trick to help Arsenal secure a dominant victory.

In this match, full-back Maya Yoshida was so badly outmaneuvered by the combined attacks of Sanchez and Qin Ming that he questioned his existence.

Four days later, in the match against West Ham United, the Hammers, known for their Robin Hood-like style, scored the first goal through Chicharito Hernandez. But before West Ham fans could even celebrate, Joe Hart delivered another memorable moment.

The clearance inside the West Ham United penalty area was made by Qin Ming's old rival, Winston Reid.

At a distance of nearly thirty-five meters, Qin Ming didn't hesitate and immediately sidestepped into the air.

Bang! A solid world-class kick left Joe Hart stunned on the spot.

This goal ignited Arsenal's comeback.

Not long into the second half, Sanchez and Dembele scored goals from both sides to turn the game around and extend the lead.

Arsenal ultimately defeated West Ham United 3-1 away from home, continuing their winning streak.

Two days later, in the 17th round of the Premier League, Arsenal played against Newcastle United at home. Benitez parked the bus at the Emirates Stadium, but still couldn't stop Arsenal.

Morata scored from the corner kick.

Qin Ming was rested for this game and although he sat on the bench, he didn't get a chance to play.

With such a dense schedule.

Arsenal will also be traveling to the Abu Dhabi peninsula, and they will take this opportunity to ask the FA to postpone the 18th round of the league to the second half of the season.

The FA has no reason to refuse.

Due to the tournament rules, Arsenal, having won the Champions League, advanced directly to the Club World Cup semi-finals, where they easily defeated Al Jazeera, the UAE league champions.

Qin Ming controlled the tempo and constantly tore apart the opponent's defense by relying solely on his initial series of dribbles and goals. After the 60th minute, Al Jazeera was completely overwhelmed. Dembele was brought down outside the penalty area, and Qin Ming seized the opportunity of the free kick, curling an unstoppable shot.

Scored twice!

"Wow! He only needs nine more goals to equal Messi's annual goal record!"

"Does Qin really intend to break Argentina's greatest record after defeating Ronaldo to win the Champions League?"

"It's incredible!"

Paul Dutton gasped.

Because of a basic mistake by the Al Jazeera defender, the ball was passed to Morata, who was taking a stroll.

Morata was completely bewildered before he received the ball.

But he knew he couldn't miss the opportunity, so he dribbled into the penalty area and even made a sudden stop.

He only glanced at the door after he saw Qin Ming following behind.

Bang! A simple, unskilled shot sent the ball straight into the goal.

hat trick!

Qin Ming received the adoration of countless fans in the UAE.

In the final against the slightly stronger South American champions Grêmio, Arsenal maintained the upper hand throughout the match.

Qin Ming has once again become the key player.

Fabinho delivered a lobbed pass, Morata flicked it on with his head, and Qin Ming seized the opportunity to make a forward run.

He dribbled past the goalkeeper one-on-one and slotted the ball into the empty net.

Gremio, the South American champions, took an early lead in the 15th minute and played aggressively afterwards, seemingly taking advantage of Arsenal's tight schedule and the crucial period of the league's mid-season title race.

But after being elbowed a few times by Qin Ming and messed with by Fabinho and Roberto a few times, he obediently reduced his dirty tricks.

Roberto, as expected of someone from La Masia, has acting skills that seem to be ingrained in his very being.

The foul resulted in the opponent receiving a yellow card.

In this match, Arsenal defeated Gremio 3-1, winning their sixth title of 2017 and achieving a sextuple.

Qin Ming won his second title.

It can be considered a perfect ending.

"In 2009, Barcelona won the Copa del Rey, La Liga, UEFA Champions League, Spanish Super Cup, UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup in just one year."

"To become the first and only team in history to win all six major titles in a single calendar year."

"Currently, Arsenal has the EFL Cup, Premier League, Champions League, Community Shield, UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup, but the Community Shield may not meet the requirements."

Therefore, Barcelona remains the only one at present.

Marca reported it this way.

These factors did not affect Arsenal at all. They returned to London with the Club World Cup trophy, but their 18th league match would have to wait until later, meaning Arsenal had one less game.

six!
The giant tifo hanging in the north stand of the Emirates Stadium reads this.

Six goals to go!

In the London derby against Crystal Palace, Arsenal showed no mercy, and after a short break, they were even more in form.

A cold wind howled through the Emirates Stadium.

But they were immediately drowned out by cheers, and the data on the electronic scoreboard made Crystal Palace fans feel colder than the weather.

5-2!

Arsenal clearly intended to play an attacking style today, with even Kanté pushing forward relentlessly to create opportunities for Qin Ming.

"hat trick!"

"Qin Zaichao launches his final assault on the annual record of 91 goals!"

"Who can stop him?"

"Barcelona must be very frustrated right now, wondering why they can't protect Messi's honors since they're not in the Premier League!"

"here we go again!"

Paul Dutton's voice is hoarse but full of passion.

In his field of vision, Qin Ming skillfully maneuvered around the ribs, not only getting past Cabaye and Dann, but also shaking off Benteke who was chasing back.

He then unleashed a powerful shot that sent the ball into the goal.

"Qin! He has scored four goals this season more times than many players have in their entire careers!"

"so horrible!"

"He is embarking on his own path to godhood!"

After the match, The Guardian published statistics showing that Messi has scored 37 hat-tricks and 5 four-goal hauls since his debut at Barcelona.

The first time was in the Champions League, against Arsenal.

In 2012, Messi scored four goals in three games throughout the year, including five goals in one of them.

When Messi won the Ballon d'Or with a record number of votes and was named FIFA World Player of the Year, he was only 22 years old.

But Qin Ming's data on the second page was even more jarring.

It seems that only then did people realize that Qin Ming had made Messi, who was only 30 years old, seem as unfamiliar as if he were from the last century.

Because those miraculous goals seemed to have become commonplace.

After the match, Benteke looked at Morata with envy, also wanting to join Arsenal and ride his coattails.

But Arsenal isn't going to be taken by just anyone these days.

The last match of 2017 was Arsenal's away game against West Bromwich Albion.

The two teams didn't play too intensely at the start.

After Arsenal took the lead, West Brom's Gibbs, also a former Arsenal player, assisted Barry to equalize.

"Arsenal's attacking firepower is fierce this season, but their defense has some problems!"

"Of course, this could be due to an overall tactical bias!"

"I think Wenger might make adjustments in the second half of the season under these circumstances, because there's a saying that fans should hear often!"

"Defense wins championships, offense wins fans!"

The match at The Hawthorns continued, and even West Bromwich Albion fans joined Arsenal fans in chanting.

They want to see a new record set!
Leaving the annual goalscoring record in the Premier League, even if West Bromwich Albion becomes a mere backdrop, at least they'll be remembered, not forgotten.
