The next day, Qin Shou returned to Madrid with the team. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
They were greeted by the Atletico fans all over the city, carrying the first Champions League trophy in the club's history, taking the bus around the city, cheering everywhere they went.
The players and fans alike were smiling brightly under the gleaming silver trophy.
Afterwards, the club held a grand celebration for the team in the town hall - not only the Champions League trophy, but also the other three trophies won by Atletico this season, all of which were carried to the open square outside the town hall, and the players and fans once again celebrated and cheered wildly, and the atmosphere reached its climax.
It was also the highlight of Atletico Madrid's history.
The afterglow of the Champions League final has not yet dissipated, and the city of Madrid is still immersed in the team's ascension to the top of Europe and the achievement of the quadruple crown, but the team has announced the end of the season and disbanded, and Qin Shou also flew to France, after meeting with Anderson, and then at Charles de Gaulle Airport, the two took a flight to Seoul, South Korea.

The East Asian Cup, the full name of which is the East Asian Football Championship, is the East Asian semi-finals that Chinese fans are familiar with. This is a bit of a stretch, and in fact, only the final week can be called the East Asian semi-finals. Only after going through the preliminary round and semi-finals can you advance to the final week, which is the East Asian semi-finals.
The East Asian Cup, formerly known as the "Donghuang Cup", was first held in 2003 and initially only had a men's competition, but in 2005, the second tournament added a women's division.
In fact, the Chinese team has a very good record in the East Asian semi-finals, they have won the championship once in this competition, and won the runner-up twice.
Of course, this is directly related to the low gold content of this event. After all, it is just a chicken rib event, and first-class Asian teams like Japan and South Korea can't recall all the main international players to the team, plus the scope of the event only covers East Asia, and Asian football powers such as Iran and Saudi Arabia cannot participate, and it is not too sensational for the Chinese team to have a good result.
Before the final week of this competition, domestic fans did not have much hope for the Chinese team to travel to South Korea. On the one hand, in the past 2012, the Chinese team's performance in various friendly warm-up matches has become worse and worse, and in the Asian Cup qualifiers, it has suffered two consecutive defeats at the beginning, which can be said to have fallen to the bottom of morale.
On the other hand, the Chinese team has just experienced a major personnel turmoil, Spanish coach Camacho and the Chinese Football Association are still fighting each other, and the acting head coach Fu Bo has just taken office, and it is estimated that the control of the team is not in place - in fact, even if Fu Bo is a famous coach, it is estimated that it will be difficult to establish his prestige in the national team, for no other reason, the national team now has a great god named Zhu Gui, how can it be impossible to let the power fall into his hands.
The morale of the team is low, the team is full of confusion, and the outside world is shouting and shouting against Chinese football.
Of course, there are not too many illusions about the Chinese team, but fans are still full of expectations for some players of the national team. That's right, the object they are looking forward to is Qin Shou, who has just led the team to win the Champions League and achieved the great cause of the quadruple crown.
Don't look at Qin Shou who was drafted into the national team before, and he didn't even get a minute of playing time, but the shadow of the famous tree, fans want to see Qin Shou's performance after he plays. That's pretty much the only thing they have to look forward to.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
The venue of this year's East Asian Cup final week is Seoul, South Korea, and the players of the national team have been assembled one after another and arrived in the capital of South Korea ahead of schedule. Now that I have dealt with a series of things, I will fly directly to South Korea.
Before studying and working in the United States, and then fighting in European football, Qin Shou can be regarded as a professional household abroad. However, Qin Shou has really not been to a few Asian countries, at least South Korea is the first time he has been there.
Qin Shou really didn't have much impression of the country of South Korea, except for knowing that this country was still a vassal state of China a hundred years ago, Qin Shou didn't have much interest in the rest.
As for the things that are often exposed on the Internet, such as traditional Chinese medicine was created by them, Chinese characters were created by them, Qu Yuan was their ancestor, and the Dragon Boat Festival was their festival...... Qin Shou had also heard about it, but he only laughed it off.
People don't want to be embarrassed, they have to wipe shit on their faces, what kind of strength do you have when you deal with such a person?
And for Korean football, Qin Shou doesn't know much, the only Korean player he has an impression of is Park Ji-sung, in Arsenal for more than half a year, Qin Shou and Park Ji-sung also had a direct experience of fighting, as for the rest, Qin Shou is really not very familiar.
But it is undeniable that South Korean football has been at the forefront of Asian countries, and it can be matched by Japan and Australia, which has just joined the Asian football circle.
People will hardly be absent from every World Cup, but what about the Chinese team? Except for reaching the World Cup finals in 2002, there are no commendable results at all. If it weren't for the fact that there was a Saudi Arabia that was abused by Germany, it is estimated that the Chinese team would be the biggest "bright spot" in the world.
And the most speechless thing is that the Chinese team still has a disease, that is, "Koreanophobia" -- needless to say, in fact, the Chinese team is not only "Korean-phobic", but also fears Japan, Iran, Australia, and Saudi Arabia...... Almost all the stronger teams in Asia, they are scared all over again, which can be regarded as a wonder.
Thinking of this, Qin Shou's mood was not very happy. Also, how can he say that he is also Chinese, and now he is a member of the national team, before the trip, there were reports about the domestic media unanimously singing and declining, and not optimistic about the prospects of the Chinese team abounded, can Qin Shou not be blocked after watching it?
Although he was not criticized by the domestic media, and was even selected as "the most anticipated player in the national team", his team was not optimistic about being criticized like this, and he was indeed speechless.
Speechless is speechless, the current situation of Chinese football is not something he can solve alone, and he does not have the ability, all he can do is try his best to do his duty and show the best of himself.
After nearly 12 hours of sleep on the plane, when I opened my eyes again, the plane had landed at Incheon International Airport in Seoul.
Incheon International Airport is the largest civil airport in South Korea and the sixth busiest airport in Asia. In addition, according to a poll conducted by the Geneva Airports Council International from 2005 to 2010, Incheon International Airport was ranked No. 1 in the "World's Best Airport" for six consecutive years.
Incheon International Airport has done a good job of greening, and the hardware and software facilities are very good, and it is also very user-friendly to prepare pastime activities for passengers who have been waiting for their flights for a long time - there are book shops, Internet cafes, and of course, there are some special buses to take passengers to sightseeing spots not far from the airport......
In terms of service attitude and service quality, this airport really has nothing to say.
But that's about it.
Incheon International Airport is indeed very modern and spectacular, but Qin Shou has been to more places and seen more, not to mention that the airports of Spain, Britain, and France are as magnificent as imperial palaces, even if they are several well-known airports in China, they are not worse than Incheon Airport.
Of course, Qin Shou didn't come here specifically to comment on other people's airports. So as soon as he got off the plane, he and Anderson contacted the staff of the Chinese team, and the other party said that they were already waiting outside the airport, and as long as Qin Shou and the two got out of the airport, they could take the two to the hotel where the national team was staying.
It's just that what Qin Shou didn't expect was that just after leaving the airport, he was "besieged" by hundreds of people.
It was already around 11 o'clock in the evening, but there were quite a few Korean fans waiting outside the airport, at least four or five hundred. These fans all knew that Qin Shou would arrive in South Korea today and specially came to pick up the plane.
These people are all fans of Qin Shou, there is no way, the current Qin Shou is too popular in Europe, and it is not an exaggeration to compare him to top players like C. Ronaldo and Messi. Moreover, Atletico Madrid has just won the Champions League again, achieving the four crowns in the club's history, and the prestige is unparalleled for a while, and Qin Shou's prestige and influence have reached a peak in the world.
South Korea, as a neighbor of China, is also an Asian country, so they also feel honored. Without mentioning Qin Shou's fame, let's just say that Qin Shou is also Asian, and in South Korea, Qin Shou also has a large number of fans.
There are even some fans who expose the brazen character of Koreans, loudly proclaiming that Qin Shou actually has Korean national blood.
This is an old stalk, when Qin Shou saw it before, he still had an urge to laugh, and he was really amused by the Koreans' behavior of putting gold on their faces for everything.
