When Qin Xiong pushed the luggage cart out of Bloemfontein, the judicial capital of South Africa, there were already countless reporters waiting for him at the scene, as well as fans from countless countries!

As a world-renowned football superstar, even if Qin Xiong represents the Chinese team, which is the fish belly team in the eyes of the green powers, he still has super popularity!

The pomp and circumstance outside Bloemfontein Airport was unprecedented, almost causing traffic jams, and Qin Xiong, who was dressed casually, answered a few questions from reporters after walking out of the airport with his team.

"The probability of the Chinese team qualifying? I never think about these boring questions, because a team with a 99.9% chance of qualifying may be eliminated, a team with a 0.01% probability of qualifying may do a miracle, it doesn't make sense to think about it, all we have to do is do our best and not let ourselves regret it.

Me, and my teammates, we're halfway around the world to Africa, not to go on holiday or just to be in the World Cup, we're here to finish the game and make our dreams come true! ”

"Winning the championship? Hehe, is it possible for the Chinese team to win the championship? Is this realistic for a Chinese team that has never made it to the knockout round? We don't go too far, we don't daydream, we go one step at a time, we do everything we can to reach our limits, that's enough, that's my idea. ”

"It's hard to say how I'm in shape right now, after all, I haven't trained regularly for more than a week, and my mental slack at the end of the season is likely to lead to a decline in form, which is a problem that cannot be ignored, and I will join up with the national team and then adjust my physical and competitive condition according to the actual situation."

Qin Xiong answered some questions and put on his backpack, he also had a suitcase to help his personal trainer hold, he signed some fans, and then got in the car and left, going directly to meet the national team.

After coming to South Africa, the Chinese team has started the warm-up matches before the World Cup.

One of the three warm-up games has been played.

Qin Xiong arrived at the hotel where the national team was staying. First of all, go to Alihan to report for duty.

If there are no accidents, this World Cup will be the last major tournament for Alihan to coach the Chinese team.

He will leave his position as manager after the World Cup.

It's not hard to guess.

It is because of Qin Xiong that the Chinese team will inevitably have higher expectations from fans and the Football Association.

Therefore, if Alihan can't lead the Chinese team to achieve good results in this competition, then the fans and the Football Association will definitely not agree, and he will be terminated!

And if he leads the Chinese team to achieve good results, it will be very difficult to work for another four years. Because the Chinese team will face the problem of large-scale replacement, it will be very difficult to complete a breakthrough after four years.

In addition, the position of the coach of the Chinese team actually does not have much gold content, Alihan will not choose to renew the contract with the Chinese Football Association if he is sensible, and simply work hard to achieve good results in this tournament and then retire honorably.

After consultation between the team doctor and Qin Xiong's private team, Qin Xiong first conducted recovery training in the training camp.

In the second warm-up match with Nigeria, Qin Xiong still did not participate.

It wasn't until the third warm-up match against Sweden that he made his debut.

And this kind of warm-up game is just to find the feeling of the game between him and his teammates, and he will not really fight with his opponent to give it his all.

On June 11, the 2010 World Cup in South Africa was grandly opened in Johannesburg, the capital city!

The World Cup is officially lit!

The Chinese team will face their first group game in three days' time, and they will not stand out on the World Cup stage. The attention received is very low, even if there is Qin Xiong, he is still not optimistic in Group E.

Cameroon, which has the advantage of being local, the Netherlands, the top European team, and Denmark, the second-rate European team, the Chinese team is not underestimated, but the opponents in the same group are very strong.

June 13, pre-match press conference.

Alihan and Qin Xiong attended together.

As the captain, Qin Xiong spoke the hearts of the players.

"I don't want to answer any more questions about qualifying from the group.

In the eyes of the outside world. We're going to lose to the Netherlands, we're going to lose to Cameroon and Denmark.

Case. Does the media hope that the Chinese team will simply abandon the game and go home?

As for the qualifying strategy of drawing with the Netherlands, beating Denmark and so on, sorry, football is not a math problem, as a player, especially the captain of the Chinese team. All I can say is that we give everything we can to win and then see what the result will be! ”

The Chinese football media still has the original intention of firmly supporting the Chinese team, but sometimes worrying too much will also affect the Chinese team.

For example, celebrities publish remarks every day to design a strategic plan for the Chinese team to qualify. To be honest, it's a bit salty and a little bit of a radish to worry about!

Football is not that complicated sometimes.

Especially for the weak.

The Chinese team is the weak on the World Cup stage, what qualifications does the weak have to calculate? There is only one way to fight!

June 14, 3:30 p.m., Bloemfontein Free State Stadium.

The stands were crowded, and the participation of Chinese fans in this World Cup was significantly higher than in the past.

In 2002, 2006, and 2010, this was the third consecutive World Cup in which the Chinese team participated, and it became a craze for fans to come to the World Cup site to cheer for the team.

This will certainly be of great help to the Chinese team.

The Chinese team played Cameroon for the first time.

There's still a bit of a gimmick to this game.

Qin Xiong and Samuel Eto'o met again in the ring half a month later.

This sparked media hype.

It is claimed that Eto'o has a chance to complete his "revenge" against Qin Xiong in the World Cup.

More than half a month ago, Qin Xiong led Liverpool to beat Inter Milan, and Eto'o was one of the losers.

If you think of another opponent in the same group, the Dutch team, Qin Xiong's relationship with Dutch football, plus the main lineup of the Dutch team has his former teammates and opponents, needless to say.

Qin Xiong looks like he will be "revenged" by many people after coming to the World Cup, Sneijder, Robben, including former teammates such as Robin van Persie, who is an opponent in the Premier League

Compared with four years ago, Qin Xiong's appearance in the World Cup as the captain of the Chinese team is more attention-grabbing, and he is also more calm in temperament.

When the national anthem was played during the kick-off ceremony, the Liberty State Stadium reverberated with a shocking sound.

In addition to the players of the Chinese team, both on and off the field, sang the national anthem in unison, and the Chinese fans in the stands, which filled about one-fifth of the stadium, also sang loudly.

It seems that the Chinese team is using the sound of the national anthem to make the world pay attention to them and transmit their voices to the world.

They're not just here to just play in the World Cup!

Just like four years ago, they want to complete a breakthrough, and every breakthrough will create a new history and glory for Chinese football! (To be continued.) )
