Football: Starting from the Ronaldinho template

Chapter 93 A Hero Emerges from Among the Young! An Olive Branch Extended by a Powerful Family! (16)

"The match is over! Team China has advanced!"

"Since winning the runner-up title in 2004, the Chinese team has been eliminated in the group stage for two consecutive years. Today, they not only broke through the quarterfinals but also defeated the South Korean team to advance to the semifinals!"

"Looking back at today's thrilling match, from conceding the first goal to South Korea, to equalizing and then coming back to win, and then being equalized again by South Korea."

"If you are a fan with a heart condition, I would not recommend watching this game."

He Wei calmed himself down a bit and glanced at the South Korean commentator next to him; sure enough, his face was full of sadness.

"I remember reciting a line of poetry just now, 'If you are not reckless in your youth, you are not worthy of being called a young man.' Now I would like to say: Heroes emerge from among the young!"

"At just 17 years old, Qin Ming became the focus of Melbourne Matrix Stadium. He proved himself with two goals and an assist, making his national team shine in the first Asian Cup!"

"If the game goes into overtime, I think it will be very difficult for the Chinese team to win. However, under such great pressure, he can still see the opportunity and seize it. He must have a very strong heart!"

He Wei looked down at the green field.

The young man is embracing his teammates, embracing the spirit of his youth.

He once said: "Even if Chinese football is everyone's spittoon, it is still my holy grail."

It doesn't seem to be a spittoon anymore.

He can finally stop saying: Time is running out for the Chinese team!
He can finally hold his head high and proudly say: Team China is awesome!
Thinking of this, he choked up a little. As someone who works in the industry and loves football, heaven knows how long he had been looking forward to this day.

He Wei's voice was heard by every Chinese fan watching the game via the internet.

It is 6 p.m. in Australia now.

In China, it's 4 PM. January 22nd is a Thursday, not a public holiday.

But in many office buildings, subways, and on the streets, you can see people clenching their fists and whispering to celebrate their victory.

Like He Wei, they are loyal Chinese football fans.

They know that the national team is not about picking 11 players from 14 billion people to play, but about picking 11 players from thousands of players to compete against players from tens or hundreds of thousands of people in other countries.

When the Chinese team won one victory after another in the group stage, breaking one curse after another and curing their long-standing fear of South Korea.

They believe that if we talk about the 2018 World Cup now, no one will think it's a joke.

"Not every fan is fortunate enough to be born in a football powerhouse, and not every fan can stay with their team at the top forever."

"There can only be one winner in a competitive sport, but that doesn't stop football from being the sport with the most fans, because of its passion, excitement, ups and downs, suspense, and tenacity!"

"These things fascinate us and inspire us!"

"at last!"

"A group of players who are willing to fight for their country sing the national anthem before the game, fight hard during the game, run tirelessly, and tackle fearlessly. I think this is very much like football."

"I think this match should be able to win back the hearts of Chinese fans."

"We hope the Chinese team will continue their efforts; we will always be there for them."

He Wei delivered the closing remarks he had prepared long ago.

Oh, and he also prepared a failed one, but luckily we didn't have a chance to use it today.

Melbourne Matrix Stadium.

The South Korean fans had already left the stadium, leaving only bright red on the stands.

"Brother Zheng, how was that last move? Did it dazzle you?"

Qin Ming showed off his bare chest.

"I can't see anything from that far away."

Zheng Zhi definitely didn't see it clearly.

But Qin Ming managed to shake off the South Korean players in just a few seconds, and he saw it all.

"hiss--"

Zheng Zhi put himself in the shoes of his club teammate Kim Young-gwon, and uncontrollably shivered and trembled all over.

This should be etched into the pillar of shame.

No wonder the South Korean team members were in such a hurry; they left after shaking hands with them.

"Qin Ming, do you think your game-winning goal against South Korea gives you a chance to win the Puskás Award?"

Wu Lei has different priorities.

"Wait! Can goals scored for the national team be nominated for the Puskás Award?"

Qin Ming had never actually looked into it.

"of course can!"

Wu Lei gestured as he spoke, "You forgot last year's World Cup, James Rodriguez chested the ball down and volleyed it in, just like that!"

"Yes! I think there's hope then, after all, I'm quite satisfied with this goal."

Qin Ming felt that he had very high standards, and even he couldn't find fault with them, so he might have a chance at the Puskás Prize.

"Don't worry! It's definitely yours!"

Gao Lin kept everyone in suspense, and only after everyone looked at him with curiosity did he slowly say, "Do you know how the Puskás Award is selected? FIFA uploads the videos of the goals to the official website and lets fans all over the world vote. Whoever gets the most votes wins the award, and we fans have a lot of votes!"

"Then you guys have to help me campaign for votes!"

Qin Ming, with his left arm around Gao Lin and his right arm around Zheng Zhi, said, "I'll treat you to morning tea after we win the award."

"Just dim sum?"

Gao Lin rolled his eyes at him, "It has to be the Bauhinia Gathering no matter what!"

After thanking the fans with smiles and laughter, the group returned to the locker room.

at the post-match press conference.

"I want to thank every player who sweated it out; it was their hard work that led us to victory."

"That's right, there's no doubt it was a tough match. My tactical setup went wrong at the start, which made things increasingly difficult as the game progressed."

"Fortunately, our attack improved significantly after we moved Qin Ming to the right side. As for his consecutive lobbed breakthroughs, to be honest, I really didn't expect that."

"But my teacher once told me: geniuses can always play football that will amaze you without you even realizing it."

"It's a pity I only understand the meaning of that sentence now."

Perrin smiled and first praised Qin Ming.

"So what are your next goals?"

A reporter in the audience asked a question.

"The goal is to move forward with all our might."

Perrin suppressed his smile.

He didn't mention any championship, because that wasn't realistic.

If they can't even beat South Korea, how can they compete with Australia, especially since there's still the semi-final to play?

Their opponent will be the winner between Japan and the UAE.

To be honest, he felt that the Chinese team's Asian Cup journey might soon come to an end.

But he still hopes the players will have no regrets. As for how to avoid regrets, just give it your all.

Even if you lose, lose like a man.

The atmosphere in the next meeting room was eerie.

"The South Korean team has gone 55 years without winning the Asian Cup, and this record will continue for another four years, which means we will go 59 years without winning the Asian Cup!"

"Mr. Stielike, who among you is responsible for this failure?"

"Why attack at the end of regulation time? Wouldn't a safer approach have been to drag it into overtime?"

"Son Heung-min scored South Korea's 100th goal in the Asian Cup, but his performance still can't compare to Qin Ming of China. Was it a mistake to put him in the right winger position?"

The South Korean reporters in the audience began to settle accounts.

The Asian Cup knockout stage, which was not originally a very influential tournament, has become a sensation in the world of football due to three spectacular goals.

The Guardian: Qin Ming, one of the most talented players in football history, has set many records at just 17 years old. It is reported that several Premier League clubs have made offers to Wolfsburg, with Manchester City's offer exceeding 4300 million euros.

The Mirror: Editor John Cross said he simply couldn't understand how Qin Ming could do all that, and he would be very disappointed if he had such talent but didn't become a legendary player.

Marca: In an interview, Rivaldo said that Qin Ming must be very smart, but because football changes a lot, he needs someone around him to talk to and help him grow in his career so that he can become the best player in the world. Rivaldo suggested that Qin Ming join Barcelona, ​​where there are the best players in the world.

Xinhua News Agency: Playing in high-quality leagues is very helpful for a player's development. We encourage more Chinese teenagers to train in Europe, learn different styles and tactics, face different coaches, and experience different mindsets.

"."

Fans are also commenting wildly.
-
I can hear Rivaldo's inner thoughts even in China!
-
[Speaking of which, Barcelona's recent performance has been quite good; they've only lost one game since January, winning the rest!]
-
[In the 3-1 win against Atletico Madrid, MSN each scored a goal. I actually think Barcelona's attacking line is too strong, and Qin Ming would have to compete with Neymar, so there's absolutely no need for him to go to Barcelona.]
-
Yes, Real Madrid doesn't really need to either. The BBC trio is in good form right now, so I suggest they stay at Wolfsburg and at least finish one season.
-
[Exactly, there's no point in joining a top team now; they can't play in the Champions League and their performance is inconsistent. Developing at Wolfsburg is the best option.]
-
With eight goals in four matches, three ahead of Mabkhout of the UAE and four more than Cahill of Australia, I think the Golden Boot in this Asian Cup is practically guaranteed.
-
[It felt like the game would get very difficult later on. After battling South Korea for 90 minutes, Qin Ming seems to still have a minor injury; four days of rest might not be enough.]
-
[Hopefully the UAE can beat Japan. Given our current situation, I think it's very difficult for us to win against Japan.]
-
Reaching the semi-finals has already exceeded my expectations. After all, I saw confidence, teamwork, trust, and fighting spirit in the national team, which is exactly what we fans want.
-
[Keep it up!]

【.】

Qin Ming has become like a piece of Tang Monk's flesh, coveted by countless clubs, all wanting to lure him back.

Will Wolfsburg tolerate this?
Dieter Black Gold didn't even finish his vacation before rushing back to the base.

Qin Ming also saw the news about his transfer flying around, and he called Dieter Blackkins and talked for a long time, mainly to express that he had no intention of transferring.

He had no dreams of becoming a son of a king, a son of a concubine, or a son of a benevolent ruler.

Moreover, he clearly understood that it was better to stay in Wolfsburg than to go to a top club.

With good teammates, a good coach, and a good environment, and with the league and cup competitions progressing smoothly, anyone who leaves would be a complete fool.

Dieter Hecking finally breathed a sigh of relief and urged the transfer department to hurry up and sign suitable players, such as full-backs and forwards, before the winter transfer window closed.

While the winter transfer window was in full swing, Australia was also bustling with activity.

The day after the match against South Korea.

Qin Ming and his teammates went to the conference room to watch the match between the Japanese team and the UAE team.

“这是本届亚洲杯1/4决赛中，唯一的东西亚区球队对决，双方历史上总计交手过16次，日本队以5胜8平3负稍占上风。”

"."

"Wow! Japan created a threat right from the start. Takashi Inui unleashed a sudden shot from outside the penalty area, but Nasser saved it!"

"It seems the Japanese team is in great form! With South Korea's unexpected elimination, Japan and Australia have become the favorites to win the championship!"

"."

"The UAE is adopting a defensive, counter-attacking mentality, clearly intending to play the defensive counter-attacking game!"

"Japan's passing and ball control makes it difficult for them to penetrate the defense without a physical advantage!"

"The UAE's chance has arrived! Look at their counter-attack! Abdulrahman sends a long pass down the right flank, Mabkhout controls the ball and then fires a right-footed shot into the top left corner!"

"The UAE became the first team to score against Japan in this Asian Cup!"

"."

"The two teams have vastly different possession rates, with Japan at 64% and the UAE at 36%, and Japan is also on the offensive!"

"They had nine shots on goal before the first half was even over, but none of them threatened the UAE's goal!"

"The UAE successfully held on for the first 45 minutes!"

"."

"In the 54th minute of the match, after a series of passes in the attacking third, Japan crossed the ball from the right wing into the penalty area. Yoshinori Muto followed up in the middle and, with no one marking him, headed the ball wide!"

"The Japanese team had really bad luck today!"

"Could it be that?!"

"."

"Japan's possession rate is still increasing, but possession doesn't guarantee goals!"

"Look at this time, Yuto Nagatomo received the ball on the left wing, cut across and passed it to Gaku Shibasaki. Gaku Shibasaki controlled the ball and then played a one-two with Keisuke Honda. Gaku Shibasaki followed up with a powerful shot to equalize the score!"

"."

“加时赛结束！在67比33的控球比，32比9的射门比，63比16的危险进攻次数中，阿联酋竟然把比赛拖到了点球大战！”

"That's football! When facing a team that's far stronger than yourself, you have to adopt a conservative tactic, but miracles often happen!"

"."

"The match is over!"

"Shinji Kagawa and Keisuke Honda, the two strongest players, both missed their penalties!"

"Do they want to go back to play in the European leagues?"

"That's possible. Dortmund is desperate to avoid relegation, and AC Milan is also in a difficult position!"

"Just kidding, so China's opponent in the semifinals will be the UAE, who won with a conservative strategy!"

"."

There was a moment of silence in the meeting room before Wu Lei finally spoke: "Holy crap!"

They had all previously assumed that the Japanese team would advance.

But now a miracle has happened, and it's good for them.

After all, the UAE team is weaker on paper than the Japanese team, but then again, can the underdog win?
Once he wins, he will no longer be the weak one.

"When we face this tactic..."

Gao Lin paused for a moment before continuing, "The UAE probably won't park the bus against us, and the Japanese team's luck has been just too bad."

"Their play was also problematic."

Perrin clapped his hands with a smile, "I think this result is pretty good. You guys get some rest. Training starts tomorrow, we need to get ready."

I originally thought I could at most make it to the semifinals and then play in the third-place match.

But Perrin now wants to go further.

finals!

"You really didn't play well." Qin Ming nodded.

Since Shinji Kagawa returned to Borussia Dortmund from Manchester United, his technical and tactical skills have visibly declined.

Qin Ming had a feeling about it during the match against Dortmund before Christmas.
