The night before the national team match, because the training camp and preparation were closed, Qin Xiong talked to Sylvia on the phone outside the dormitory.

After the phone call ended, he found Zhang Pengfei and Liu Yi standing on the balcony chatting, so he walked over to join them.

Three friends who have worked hard in European football exchanged experiences.

Zhang Pengfei was relatively easy at the end of the season, Maritimo was not high or low in the Portuguese Super League, and he was relieved of relegation, and he had no ambition but no strength to enter the European competition.

Liu Yi is in a similar situation to Qin Xiong, but Qin Xiong is under great pressure to win the championship, and he is helping Nuremberg to relegate in the Bundesliga very hard, whether the relegation can be successful depends on the success or failure of the key battles in the last two months.

They also talked about the prospects of the national team, and all three couldn't help but sigh.

From the end of the Asian Cup to today, less than a year has passed, but in this less than a year span, they have already felt that compared with the Asian Cup, the three of them are stronger than their teammates, and the gap has been opened unconsciously.

They are still young, and even if their teammates are young, if their teammates can't keep up with them, the gap will get bigger and bigger, and at a certain stage, the gap will be obvious.

No way, that's the current state of the national team.

Liu Yi informed Qin Xiong and Zhang Pengfei of what he saw and heard in Germany, and German football has opened a new round of youth training storm since 2000, and a new life of change is brewing in German football, and the new atmosphere is enviable.

In Asia, it is not difficult to understand that South Korea and Japan have become the backbone of Asian football with steady development.

Qin Xiong just listened, and would not express any opinions.

Because it's useless.

They are not decision-makers. Nothing will change.

You can only do what you can.

In a nutshell. As the richest player in Chinese football. And Qin Xiong, who relied on the Chinese football market to get rich overnight, must shoulder some responsibilities and obligations.

The national team, if you can afford it, you can carry it.

If you can't bear it, you have to carry it!

Or else?

Earning the selfless monetary benefits of Chinese fans, but ignoring their care and expectations, do they disappoint?

Qin Xiong can't do it, he is not a selfless person, but he knows that he is rich now. It is inseparable from the support of Chinese fans, which is not his dedication, but his return

March 26.

Beijing Workers' Stadium.

The entire stadium was full, and when Qin Xiong walked into the stadium holding the caddy's hand, the scene erupted in deafening cheers.

In addition to the Chinese team's emblem, flags, and cheering slogans, most of the others in the stands are Qin Xiong's personal portraits, and fans love to support Qin Xiong's cheering slogans.

There is no doubt that the Chinese national team jersey worn by Chinese fans in the stands. More than 90% of them are the No. 10 jerseys worn by Qin Xiong.

The overall strength of Uzbekistan is actually not stronger than that of the Chinese team, but it is a fact that their confrontation strength is stronger.

If you only look at the club their players play for. Then you must mistakenly think that the Chinese team's opponent today is the Russian team!

Because more than 80% of Uzbekistan's players play for Russian football clubs.

They come from Russian or Ukrainian teams such as Dynamo Moscow, Dynamo Kiev, Lokomotiv Moscow, CSKA Moscow, Dennis, Kuibyshev, Kazan Rubin, etc.

The Chinese team is at its own home stadium, and the opponent's strength is not comparable to its own, so naturally it can no longer fight back defensively, at least Alihan thinks so, so he wants to show the momentum of the Asian Cup champion!

From the beginning of the game, Qin Xiong's position was relatively backward, and today the Chinese team played a 442, and in the middle of the midfield, Qin Xiong and Liu Yi combined the offensive and defensive system, and he continued to use his skillful ball control and accurate passing ability to create opportunities for his teammates.

Sun Xiang and Sun Jihai kept shuttling up and down the side road.

Uzbekistan focused on containing Qin Xiong, but when Qin Xiong's position was delayed, there would be problems with their backfield marking, because of the lack of troops, most of the players were concentrated in the middle of the midfield, for fear that Qin Xiong would be unstoppable all the way.

In the 31st minute of the game, Shao Jiayi assisted Zhang Pengfei at the back point with a cross from the side, and the Chinese team led 1:0.

Just before half-time, Uzbekistan equalised from a corner kick and Zheng Zhi lost a header battle with a tall defender.

In the second half of the game, Qin Xiong began to break out, he constantly made personal breakthroughs to create opponents' fouls, and repeatedly threatened the opponent's goal with his strong long-range shooting ability and set-piece ability.

In the 67th minute of the game, Qin Xiong was once again put to the ground by the opponent's midfielder Maminov, he immediately got up, and then took a free kick quickly, his waist was not straightened, but the football had been passed out by him.

A penetrating pass sent Uzbekistan's back line into a flurry.

Shao Jiayi, who consciously cut into the penalty area, crossed the ball horizontally in the penalty area, and Li Jinyu outflanked the middle and shot hard!

The Chinese team is leading again!

Alihan still has a set in training, knowing that the Chinese team actually only relies on a few players to support the backbone, it is difficult to achieve an overall advantage in the game, and the battle with the South Korean team is even more incisive, even if the Chinese team wins away from home, but throughout the game, the Chinese team does not occupy the overall advantage at all, especially when the South Korean team comes to its senses, the Chinese team is completely only beaten.

Therefore, Alihan mobilized a qiē power in training, set pieces, free kicks to open quickly, simple routines of combining side and middle matches, etc., focusing on these, as long as there is an opportunity in the game, the Chinese team will try.

Uzbekistan drew with Saudi Arabia in the first round, and if they get one point against the Chinese team in the second game, they can still accept it, after all, it is an away game.

But if they lose, then they naturally can't accept it, which means that they are almost out!

Qin Xiong led a counterattack after Uzbekistan pressed hard, he dribbled the ball all the way forward from the right side of the back in the 82nd minute of the game, and passed the ball to striker Zhang Pengfei when he was frantically surrounded by the opponent's midfield.

Qin Xiong took advantage of the situation to step forward and then changed direction in front of the defender to break through, and he smashed into the penalty area to form a single knife.

In the face of the goalkeeper's attack, Qin Xiong chose to wait for the goalkeeper to get close behind him, then suddenly accelerated the ball and shook the goalkeeper, and pushed the ball with his left foot into the door with a small angle.

"Our captain helped seal the win! 3:1！ If the Chinese team wins this game in the second round of the Asian quarterfinals of the World Preliminaries, we will be at the top of the group with 6 points! This will be a great foundation for us to qualify for the 2006 World Cup! (To be continued......)
