How to hit the NLG on the runway with 1.88G but near to zero pitch rate?

Edit:
After looking at Figura 2 and 3 for a while, it seems to me he was overcontrolling the plane before the landing and was caught with the control column in the wrong half wave at MLG touch down. One of the "digitial pilots" I try to avoid sharing the cockpit of a light aircraft with.
