256 Nation, State, Dignity

When Hao Haidong broke his head and bleed, and more than 60,000 Chinese fans shouted wildly, the Chinese team was completely infected in the stadium and was inspired to be bloody as Chinese!

They fought bravely against the Iranian team, and they didn't care about falling and being rough!

They are on the offensive and trying to create opportunities, but the quality of the kick is really poor!

A few goalpost kicks in a row simply drove the fans crazy.

But Iran equalized in the second half!

As the race came to the second half, Qin Xiong, who had to follow the team's rhythm to slow down, began to highlight his physical strengths.

The opponents who were encircling him began to lose track of his speed.

When Li Yi, who replaced Hao Haidong in the 77th minute of the game, hit the goal frame again with a shot that popped up, the fans of the Chinese team were in despair.

It was as if the fear of "the sky is going to kill me" spread in the bottom of my heart.

The ball that could pop out of the penalty area was stopped with his chest in the forward rush, and when he entered the box again, all the Chinese fans opened their eyes and stared at the figure that could not be ignored.

Qin Xiong!

He got rid of the Iranian team's marking and entered the penalty area with unbeatable speed, but in the face of the Iranian team's goalkeeper, he shot the ball in a very dexterous way, pushing the ball when it landed, the power was not great, but the angle was extremely tricky!

The moment he saw the football roll into the corner of the goal, he smiled hideously, rushed to the sideline and jumped high and waved his fist, letting out a huge roar.

"Qin Xiong! Qin Xiong stood up! After the Chinese team missed many good opportunities in front of goal, Qin Xiong stood up! He helped the Chinese team to take the lead again! Will this goal make China reach the Asian Cup final? Will it? ”

Chinese fans erupted in earth-shattering cheers from the stands!

The Iranian team was not willing to lose, and the atmosphere of the game was still very tense.

When the Iranian team pressed heavily and tried to equalize. The Chinese team suddenly made noise in the penalty area. forced Qin Xiong to also have to go back to the rescue.

82nd minute of the game. Li Weifeng and Hashmian won the header battle, but the header was not far away, but fortunately, Liu Yiren stood up and pushed the ball to Qin Xiong's place in the form of a header relay.

Qin Xiong was in front of the penalty area near the left wing.

He paddled the ball with the arch of his foot, and after the ball was unloaded and bounced to the ground, he made his next move, which was about to be surrounded by the Iranian team's frontcourt players.

Bigfoot!

Probably everyone thought it was a kick in the way.

But when the trajectory of the football flew out was clear, the fans at the scene, as well as the coach of the Iranian team. Even Alihan was dumbfounded.

Long pass!

Threatening ball delivery!

Qin Xiong made a long pass directly from the left side of the penalty area and kicked the ball to the right side of the Iranian team's half.

After the opponent pressed hard, their backcourt became open.

Zhang Pengfei, who quickly inserted forward from the right side, successfully countered offside, cut into the inside line from the side, waited for the football to bounce to the ground again, and then went to the meeting alone!

He doesn't have a fancy way of passing people, and maybe even ordinary people will seem less handy.

So when the goalkeeper of the Iranian team abandoned the goal, Zhang Pengfei shot directly with his feet, in order to ensure the quality of the shot, he deeply understood that the focus was not on speed. It's the angle!

The outside instep kicked the ball out of the in-rotation ball and the low flat ball, Zhang Pengfei gritted his teeth and clenched his fists after the shot.

He saw the ball go around the goalkeeper. And after rolling into the small penalty area, he closed his eyes and gritted his teeth and roared.

Entered!

The Iranian players froze in despair, like a bolt from the blue.

Zhang Pengfei took off his jersey and waved it in his hand, running wildly along the edge of the court.

The cheers at the scene have turned into fans shouting championship slogans!

"Zhang Pengfei and Qin Xiong teamed up to kill the Iranian team! We will advance to the final of the Asian Cup! Definitely! Definitely! It's 3:1 now, and time is running out for the Iranian team! In such a critical game, in such a game of great pressure, we saw Qin Xiong withstand the pressure, even if he went back to participate in the defense, he was also thinking about how to lock the victory for the Chinese team, his big foot clearance was no accident, he saw his friend Zhang Pengfei, he understood that Zhang Pengfei's speed was useful at this time, he sent the most perfect assist, an unimaginable assist, a long pass assist of more than 50 meters! Zhang Pengfei confidently faced the Iranian goalkeeper, his shot was not denied by the post again, he helped the Chinese team extend the lead to two goals, and the Chinese team won in sight! The Asian Cup final is waiting for us, and the Asian Cup champion is waiting for us! ”

Before the restart, Alihan made a conservative substitution, removing Li Jinyu and replacing him with Xu Yunlong.

Qin Xiong also warned his teammates to keep a steady state of mind and calmly control the situation on the field.

In the end, the Chinese team stubbornly held the score of 3:1, and at the moment when the whistle blew at the end of the game, maybe all the fans across the country were cheering and celebrating!

The Chinese team reached the final of the Asian Cup!

This is a real test of the Chinese team, and the Chinese team overcame difficulties to win the game, which has greatly improved their self-confidence.

Next, they waited for the final opponents to be announced.

Japan defeated Bahrain in the other semi-final to reach the final of the Asian Cup!

The Sino-Japanese battle became the focus of fans across the country.

August 6, the day before the Asian Cup final.

Alihan took Qin Xiong to the pre-match press conference.

Hao Haidong is sure to play with an injury in the final.

Qin Xiong faced the reporter's question and replied lightly: "Before the final results came out, the Chinese team actually didn't get anything, the gap between the runner-up and the champion is obvious, football is a sport with only one winner, the runner-up and the team that was eliminated in the group stage, at least I don't think there is much difference." I can't make any guarantees because the history of the feud between China and Japan is now in the public opinion of the fans, because football speaks by strength, but the decision of the game does not rely entirely on strength, there will be many complex factors that affect the result, and the promise we can make is to absolutely go all out to win and give a qiē, instead of regretting whether we have regrets in tomorrow's game. ”

The morale of the national team is high, and the positive influence that Qin Xiong has brought to this team as captain has almost undergone a qualitative change.

But Qin Xiong understood.

If it would be a pity to fall in the quarterfinals, then if you fall in the finals, such a blow will be unbearable!

Well, all the internal or external changes in the national team in the recent period will be in vain!

Achievement is a qualitative factor that determines whether a team can improve, and hard work and improvement are only a quantitative change accumulation process.

Aug. 7, 7:45 p.m.

The Beijing Workers' Stadium was packed.

In addition to the enthusiastic Chinese fans, there were also officials from the AFC, the Chinese Football Association, and the Japanese Football Association.

Everyone is waiting for the announcement of the winner of this Asian Cup.

When Qin Xiong led the Chinese team as the captain with a caddie in his hand, the atmosphere of the scene immediately reached its peak.

This young man with a strong physique, strong will, and always high fighting spirit has become a totem in the hearts of Chinese fans, and he has an inspiring effect, and every minute he is on the field seems to be able to touch people's hearts.

The Chinese team entered the stadium with the Japanese team and stood in a row in the stadium.

The opening ceremony of the finals is underway.

When the master of ceremonies said "play the Chinese national anthem", tens of thousands of Chinese fans began to sing in unison with the music of the national anthem.

The drumming and cheering stopped for a while, and Qin Xiong's deep gaze swept over the stands.

He saw the red flag fluttering, heard the national anthem reverberating, and the scene was magnificent and spectacular.

He didn't speak, he was thinking about something else.

Just this summer.

He became a billionaire.

It seems that he has easily earned a shocking fortune that ordinary people can't look up to.

But what makes him rich?

Skills? Club achievements?

No, no, no!

The market for football depends on the fans.

Without fans watching the game, tickets can't be sold, and TV broadcast rights can't be sold at sky-high prices.

Without fans paying, how can the value of the players start?

Playing for the national team is an obligation, but the national team doesn't make you rich!

It can be said that Qin Xiong can suddenly get rich today, relying on tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of fans in China!

Why?

Because everyone is Chinese!

It's as simple as that.

Qin Xiong closed his eyes, and in the solemn and majestic national anthem, his right hand gently stroked the emblem of the jersey, which was also the pattern of the Chinese national flag.

At this moment, he was enlightened.

In addition to his strong desire to win in football, he has a new motivation.

The fight in the national team is actually a fight for the fans of the whole country!

The fans who supported him, made him rich, and made him more and more influential are his food and clothing, and they are the objects he must pay in return.

There is a kind of cohesion called nation.

There is a kind of mission called the state.

There is a kind of honor and disgrace called dignity.
