Qin Xiong voluntarily suspended the contract renewal negotiations with Arsenal.
He knows that he has only two options now, one is to fight with the club and use all kinds of threats to force Arsenal to meet his contract renewal conditions.
But in that case, he could be in the same position as Ashley Cole, who would not have the support of the fans and would be at odds with the coaching staff.
The other is what Qin Xiong intends to do: impress the Arsenal club with a better performance.
Instead of negotiating, it is not too much to use your own strength to prove your demands.
In the 22nd round of the Premier League on January 14, Arsenal, who did not invest their main players in the FA Cup match, fired on Highbury, creating a massacre in the top row of this season and even the Premier League.
9:0 bloodbath in Middlesbrough!
The ageing Middlesbrough have been completely beaten through a sieve by the Parlour Southgate Ethiogu defence, and they have yet to recover from the devil's schedule as they went all out in the FA Cup, resulting in a departure from Highbury in the same rhythm as Arsenal.
Thierry Henry put on a horrific performance of scoring five goals in a single game.
Qin Xiong scored two goals and added 4 assists.
He completely destroyed Parloer in the game and made the veteran Gareth Southgate look ugly.
When Fleet Street released the battle report the next day, the headline of the Guardian was: Henry + Qin Xiong, the nightmare of Premier League defenders!
The article details the defenders or defensive midfielders who have been abused by Qin Xiong and Thierry Henry in the Premier League this season, and although there is water in the list, it is not far from the truth.
If you want to ask the attacking combination that most defenders in the Premier League fear the most. It has to be none other than the Arsenal duo.
Before the 23rd round of the Premier League. Liverpool City's The Echo has published an article about Everton's preparations for the game against Arsenal.
The Echo is Liverpool's local mouthpiece newspaper. There is no choice between Liverpool and Everton, and the news they have revealed is very credible.
The article revealed that Everton were very nervous, for fear that the crazy Arsenal would beat Everton into a sieve at Goodison Park.
Despite repeated denials in his pre-match press conference, Moyes has developed a sense of fear for Arsenal.
In the past year and a half, the two teams have met several times, and Everton not only lost all of them, but also had a shameful record of being slaughtered by eight goals.
After Arsenal's nine-goal slaughter of Middlesbrough, Everton's cowardice without a fight was understandable.
Moyes, who has a harder tone, is in full swing at home.
In addition to playing a lone striker, Everton's midfielders and defenders are all defensive and do not dare to overdo it at home. Although Arsenal is mainly anti-guest, Everton's stubborn defense and a group of defensive players frantically intercept it, which still makes Arsenal encounter great difficulties, and finally can only shake hands with the opponent.
After the game, Arsene Wenger angrily declared that Everton were on the wrong path, not wanting to win at home or having the audacity to play against Arsenal, and Everton's performance was a disgrace!
Arsene Wenger's frustration is understandable, as Arsenal's lead over Chelsea has been cut to two points by the start of the new year, and a draw at Goodison Park could well have been erased by Chelsea on the table.
It was only Chelsea who played the next day that they unexpectedly did not win Charlton Athletic at home. Chelsea, who also picked up a draw, missed out on a chance to level Arsenal on points.
The Chelsea Devils have had a good fixture, winning all four games.
But in January. Due to the start of the Africa Cup of Nations, the two main players in the team participated in the Africa Cup of Nations and missed the league, which made Chelsea's overall strength decline during the Africa Cup of Nations, and Drogba and Essien are indispensable key players on the central axis!
Heading into February, the knockout stages of the Champions League will be played at the end of the month, and Arsenal are on a surge in the league.
On February 1, he narrowly defeated West Ham United 4:3 at home, and it was Qin Xiong's solo savior at the last moment, which earned Arsenal a valuable three points, and Arsenal also due to the impact of the Africa Cup of Nations, resulting in no one available at right wing-back and back line, so that the defensive line is full of holes.
After almost every Arsenal victory, Qin Xiong will make headlines on Fleet Street, although he does not score as many goals as Henry, but his contribution to the key moments on the field is becoming more and more dazzling!
If in the first half of the season against the defending champion Arsenal, many teams of players lost to Qin Xiong in the duel caused fear, then in the second half of the season, they were mentally prepared but still could not restrain Qin Xiong, and many opponents changed from fear to admiration and admiration for Qin Xiong.
After the win over West Ham United, Hammers defender Gabiton said in an interview: "We had the opportunity to lead twice, and it was a draw three minutes before the end of the game, but in the end we lost the game, because Qin Xiong was too strong to guard him at all, I studied a lot of his game footage, I wanted to stifle his play in this game, but I failed, he was unstoppable on the pitch, but I know he is a good lad, outside of the game, I am willing to be friends with him, game?" I never wanted to run into him. ”
As Gabiton said, many players who have galloped in the Premier League have a very high evaluation of Qin Xiong, and Qin Xiong's recognition of his strength is shifting from a little boasting in the media to creating a topic to being admired by his peers.
In the same round, Chelsea were held to a draw by Aston Villa at Villa Park!
The gap in points shortened in the Devil's schedule is back to 4 points.
On February 4, in the 25th round of the Premier League, Arsenal challenged Birmingham away from home, although Birmingham also hoped to exchange a draw for a draw like Everton, but their players were really not as good as Everton, and Arsenal won 2:0 away.
In the same round, Chelsea returned to form at Stamford Bridge and were beaten by two goals from visiting Liverpool.
There is still a round of fixtures before the FIFA matchday, followed by the FA Cup, followed by the Champions League quarter-finals at the end of the month.
Qin Xiong has worked hard in training, he has been in very good physical condition this season, and the reasonable game schedule is the reason why he has played well and has been able to maintain his best form.
However, the day before the 26th round of the Premier League, Qin Xiong collided with his teammates in a 15-minute confrontation match and suffered an ankle sprain.
As a result, Arsene Wenger had to remove Qin Xiong from the squad before the game.
Qin Xiong, on the other hand, was depressed and could only witness the team's performance from the stands, which made him very uncomfortable.
Hearing that Qin Xiong could not play, Arsenal fans were a little worried, they were worried about Qin Xiong's injury, but they were not too worried about the opponent in the 26th round, because the opponent was not strong.
