Football: Starting from the Ronaldinho template

Chapter 99 Return to the Bundesliga! (22)

The Chinese national football team dominated the trending topics on social media platforms such as Weibo, Baidu Tieba, and Hupu.

Pengcheng Daily: In the past, we needed to watch the top five European leagues, the European Championship, and the World Cup to experience the charm of football. Now we can finally watch our own team again and experience the charm of football! Go China! Go Qin Ming!

Guancha.cn: This young Chinese national men's football team has won back the hearts of Chinese fans with a record of five wins and one loss in the Asian Cup, securing third place!

Dongqiudi: You can't get fat in one bite, and you can't build a strong team overnight! China's Asian Cup journey has come to an end, but there are even greater challenges ahead. Hopefully, the Chinese team can continue on the right path!
"."

Chinese fans can finally hold their heads high.

It should be noted that belittling Chinese football has become a social habit in the past, mainly due to the poor performance of the national team players, but the public opinion environment also bears some responsibility.

"Why are you drawing the curtains? Are you watching the Chinese team play?"

"Watch porn!"

This is a meme created by fans before, which is both funny and quite sad.
-
Go China!
-
Qin Ming's family lives in the building right next to ours. I even held him when he was little!
-
【I don't believe you! Unless you get me an autographed jersey and have Qin Ming record a video for me while you're at it!】
-
You're eating and taking things with you!
-
If they can maintain their current momentum and grow for another four years, do they have a chance to win the next Asian Cup?
-
Yes, bro, yes! You have to understand, Qin Ming is only 17 years old. Four years later, he'll be 21, right in his prime!
-
We've been runners-up twice before, and we really want to experience what it feels like to be champions!
-
【Me too! 】
-
I saw in the post-match interview that Wu Lei expressed his desire to play abroad. I wonder if he can make it to one of the top five leagues during this summer's transfer window or next winter's?
-
[Go practice your shooting skills in the Bundesliga. Look at that one-on-one chance earlier, he actually shot at the goalkeeper! Luckily Qin Ming scored, otherwise he would have been roasted!]
-
【.】

The midday sun in Australia was scorching, and the air seemed to distort.

"call--"

Qin Ming opened his eyes groggily and stretched comfortably.

I slept for about 16 hours.

Of course, he didn't forget the most important thing, and stared at the system panel that had been opened.

At the very bottom of each data item, a new information panel appeared.

[Injury Detection and Treatment Module: Small amount of fluid in the left knee, inflammation of the medial gastrocnemius muscle in the right leg, and localized muscle injury in the right shoulder. Treatment requires 23 points!]

Only then did Qin Ming understand what the points were for after the system activated its new features.

So this is where I was waiting.

He glanced at his remaining 71 points, which he assumed was the same as the league's points system.

Winning the game earns you 3 points, a draw earns you 1 point, and a loss earns you nothing.

Qin Ming chose to receive treatment without hesitation.

Then he felt a warm sensation all over his body, as if he had suddenly lost several pounds.

"The system is still awesome!"

Qin Ming's mood improved considerably, and he hummed a little tune as he went to the bathroom to wash up.

After packing my luggage, I went downstairs to chat with my teammates, and then it was time to say goodbye.

"I'm going to miss you!"

Gao Lin, a rough and unrefined guy, is surprisingly sentimental.

"You'd better stop thinking about me and practice your shooting!"

Qin Ming made a joke.

He chatted with Perrin for a while on the way, and the topic, naturally, was to say good things about Arsenal.

It can be said that with the end of the Asian Cup, Qin Ming's reputation has reached a new level.

All nine goals in the cup match were spectacular, and the agility displayed during the game captivated the fans.

As a champion of beautiful football, Wenger naturally wouldn't want to let such a player slip through his fingers.

However, the winter transfer window is nearing its end, and Wolfsburg has issued a statement indicating that Qin Ming will not leave the team.

Even if they can buy in the summer transfer window, how much money will they need to prepare?

Wenger set his sights on Özil. How about selling him for a high price? Wouldn't that solve the money problem?
But Özil is also a key figure in the organization.

Wenger was caught in a dilemma, but he soon lost interest in it because the North London derby was just around the corner.

And Tottenham Hotspur will always be the highest priority!
After flying from Australia to Singapore and then transferring to Hanover Airport, it was nearly 24 hours later.

Qin Ming stepped back onto German soil, wearing sunglasses as he walked confidently out of the hall.

"Qin, they've all gone to Frankfurt for the competition, so I'll have to pick you up."

Club staff member Stephen took the suitcase.

Has anything happened at the club recently?

Qin Ming hadn't been back for nearly forty days, and he usually chatted in the group chat, so he inevitably missed some information.

"The club has signed several new players, but none of them are particularly outstanding. We had our eye on Danilo from Porto, but he said he wanted to go to Real Madrid."

Stephen was quite helpless.

In fact, right-backs are generally not expensive in football these days, for example, Darmian of Torino, Clyne of Southampton, and Vidal of Sevilla.

But after asking around, no one in Wolfsburg was willing to come.

After all, the cost of a winter transfer window is too high; not only do they have to go to a new league, but they also have to face unfamiliar teammates.

"So, who did we end up signing with?"

Qin Ming asked.

"It looks like Sassuolo's Croatian player, Vrsaljko?"

Stephen didn't remember very clearly either, but he knew that the skill level was average.

Qin Ming remained silent upon hearing this, it seemed that even if Wolfsburg had money, it would be difficult for them to buy players.

After all, it's not very well-known.

Qin Ming soon returned to the VFL training center. After putting his things away, he went to the conference room.

Wolfsburg's form after the winter break is so-so!

"Are the players getting too carried away?"

"Oh! Frankfurt scored first in the 60th minute! Takashi Inui crossed from the wing to find Aigner in the penalty area!"

"Aigner outjumps Knoch to head the ball into the net, giving Frankfurt the lead!"

"."

Qin Ming frowned slightly as he listened to the commentator's voice.

He could also tell that his teammates weren't in good form.

Moreover, Frankfurt's tactics were very targeted, with Makoto Hasebe containing Kevin De Bruyne while maintaining a tight defense in the midfield and backfield.

The Japanese defensive midfielder performed poorly in the Asian Cup, but seemed like a completely different player back in the league.

Most importantly, Wolfsburg's left and right flanks, with Perisic and Caligiuri, lack the ability to make consecutive breakthroughs.

This allowed Frankfurt to thrive in positional warfare.

When the match reached the 88th minute, Frankfurt fans thought the victory was already secured.

Olic, who came on as a substitute, used his movement to stretch Frankfurt's defense and create shooting space for De Bruyne.

Dingding, who recently started dating someone online, equalized the score with a tricky shot.

In the end, the two teams shook hands and drew, with each player taking one point.

After watching the match, Qin Ming checked Bayern Munich's record. Fortunately, they were also held to a draw by Schalke 04.

It seems everyone has become a bit lax after the winter break.

As long as the gap in points doesn't widen, it's fine. Qin Ming felt that in this season's Bundesliga, Bayern Munich and Guardiola had multiple conflicts, and Borussia Dortmund had even fallen into the relegation zone.

That gives them a chance to win the championship.

Qin Ming felt that not only he thought so, but Dietrich and even the Wolfsburg team members had the same idea.

He turned his head and glanced at the Asian Cup final, discovering that Australia had defeated the UAE 2-0 to win the 26th Asian Cup.

"Australia is still very strong!"

Qin Ming sighed.

The VFL training center was bustling the next day. "Qin, long time no see! I missed you so much!"

Everyone took turns hugging Qin Ming, conveying their longing for him.

It's worth noting that Qin Ming is the youngest member of the team.

Not only does she speak pleasantly, but she also performs exceptionally well in competitions, which naturally makes her popular.

"Ivan, why were you so listless in yesterday's game? Are you planning to have a second child with your wife?"

Qin Ming made a joke.

"Get out! I'm used to playing on the right wing now, and I'm not comfortable switching to the left! If you ask me, you're the one who should bear the biggest responsibility for this loss!"

Perisic said nonchalantly.

"If I'm not even here, how can I be held responsible? Then I'm even more wronged than Benzema!"

Qin Ming's words left everyone completely confused.

He didn't offer any explanation, after all, it was early 2015, and the Benzema meme hadn't become popular yet.

"Qin, your medical report is out. Did you really play in the Asian Cup?"

Assistant coach Thorn Lockhoff held a tablet and looked at Qin Ming's incredibly healthy body with a bit of disbelief.

"I went to a temple to pray before I went abroad. Maybe it was a blessing from the gods."

Qin Ming made up a reason on the spot.

Although modern medicine is very advanced, the human body still holds many mysteries.

For example, why can Nedved run? Is it because he has three kneecaps, or because his metabolism is faster than that of an average person?

There's still no conclusion.

"Then take me to pray next time, maybe I can win the Golden Globe!"

Maranda thought that if it really worked, he would leave God's embrace.

After chatting with his teammates for a while, Dieter Black Gold strolled over slowly, and the smiles on everyone's faces vanished instantly.

"Let's talk about yesterday's game! Frankfurt is a mid-table team, while we are second in the standings. I know that's not fair!"

"But judging from your performance in the game, you don't deserve this position at all! You had 17 shots but only 6 on target, and you only scored 1 goal!"

"Furthermore, the average passing and steal statistics are significantly different from what we had in the first half of the season!"

Dieter Hecking, with a sour face, reprimanded you mercilessly: "I told you before that the matches after the winter break are very important, as they directly determine whether we can keep up with Bayern, but it seems you still didn't take my words to heart!"

"All vacations for the past three weeks have been cancelled, and training time will be moved up by one hour!"

Although modern football is not like it used to be, where the head coach has absolute power.

But Dietrich Wolfsburg enjoys a high reputation.

"Qin, how have you been feeling lately? Let's play a scrimmage later."

Dieter Black Gold's tone softened somewhat.

"Okay!" Qin Ming could understand Dietrich's concerns. After playing in the Asian Cup for so long, he might not be able to adapt to the pace of the Bundesliga.

There have been precedents for this, so we must first get the status back.

Otherwise, it will definitely lead to a big mistake during the competition.

During the afternoon's eight-on-eight offensive and defensive drills, Qin Ming faced off against Rodriguez and indeed felt greater pressure.

After all, there are no full-backs worth 2500 million euros in the Asian Cup.

However, during the Asian Cup, he improved his template integration and skill proficiency, and to put it bluntly, his teammates somewhat dragged him down.

Therefore, its strength is not low.

Qin Ming quickly regained his form from playing in the Bundesliga, but he still needed more time to adapt to the rhythm of the game.

"The next game is in four days, that should be enough time for you to adjust, so let's start."

Dieter Hecking finalized the roster immediately.

"Okay." Qin Ming wasn't intimidated at all; on the contrary, he was very excited.

why?
He discovered that Wolfsburg's next opponent, Hoffenheim, had their old friend Kim Jin-su as their starting left-back.

The two had a deep grudge. Qin Ming was deliberately stepped on, and although he retaliated on the spot, he was a petty person.

If the Asian Cup wasn't enough, let's keep going with the league!

While Qin Ming was training hard in Wolfsburg, the Asian Cup awards ceremony was held as scheduled.

According to the AFC official website: At the 26th AFC Asian Cup in Australia in 2015, Australian player Massimo Longo won the Best Player award, Chinese player Qin Ming won the Golden Boot award, Australian goalkeeper Matthew Ryan won the Best Goalkeeper award, and Iranian referee Fahani Ariza won the Best Referee award.

Dongqiudi: In this Asian Cup, Qin Ming has made a stunning lead in the top scorer list and has been selected for the best lineup. He has now returned to Wolfsburg to prepare for the 19th round of the Bundesliga on February 4th!
The next day, Perrin called Qin Ming to say that the trophy had been mailed to him and told Qin Ming to take good care of himself, as he would not be called up for the upcoming friendly matches.

Qin Ming glanced at the Chinese team's schedule and saw that, apart from the East Asian Cup in August, the Asian qualifiers would be held in September.

The East Asian Cup is not particularly prestigious, as it mainly features young players, giving them experience in the competition.

Qin Ming naturally doesn't need to participate.

"My focus now is on club competitions!"

Qin Ming got up with great ambition and was just about to drive to the training base when he heard De Bruyne's voice.

"Qin, I'll introduce you to Mitchell today. She said she brought a good friend, and I found her to be very beautiful."

De Bruyne served Qin Ming a bowl of spaghetti.

"Didn't the boss say there wouldn't be any holidays?"

Qin Ming dared not miss training.

Otherwise, even if you are favored, you will still be severely criticized.

"Just for coffee. They're going to England for a trip in a few days. Didn't I promise you you'd get to meet them?"

De Bruyne laughed.

He felt that introducing the person he liked to his friends was a very happy thing for him.

"Ok."

Qin Ming shrugged.

Actually, he remembered some time ago that Dingding's online boyfriend, Mitchell, should be his future wife.

The couple had a very happy married life.

Therefore, he felt that as Dingding's good brother, he had to act as his wingman and help their relationship heat up faster.

However, he didn't expect that De Bruyne had similar thoughts to his.

One wanted to strengthen the bond between the brothers, while the other wanted to help his brother get out of being single.

Arriving at a coffee shop not far from the training center, Qin Ming saw two pretty girls; the one on the left must be Mitchell.

why?
Because De Bruyne's gaze never left her.

She's so love-struck!

Qin Ming silently complained to himself, thinking that he should learn from this experience.

De Bruyne, blinded by lust, went over and hugged Mitchell before finally remembering his good brother.

Qin Ming: “.”

His silence was deafening.

Mitchell chuckled. "This must be Qin. Kevin often mentions you to me, saying that you are the person he values ​​most in his career."

Take a look!

What is emotional intelligence?

That's called emotional intelligence!
