Xianghe National Football Training Base.

Qin Xiong, Liu Yi and Zhang Pengfei arrived here by car, and walked straight to the locker room.

Qin Xiong observed this training base covering a wide area, and according to Liu Yi, there is a service center integrating training, accommodation, physiotherapy and rehabilitation, and the team can completely prepare for the closed game here without external interference.

Along the way, some people would stop and watch when they saw Qin Xiong, and seemed to be very curious about him.

There were also some staff members who looked at Qin Xiong with a faint respect in their eyes.

Qin Xiong came directly to the locker room, there are already many members of the national team in the locker room, they are preparing for today's training, Liu Yi and Zhang Pengfei know them, but they are not particularly familiar, after all, they are also playing in Europe in the middle of the season, Qin Xiong's appearance seems to make the air in the locker room freeze, and many people stop their movements and stare at him.

Qin Xiong said to everyone with a calm face: "I'm Qin Xiong, good morning." ”

After saying that, several teammates nodded at him, and some were still staring at him, Qin Xiong ignored the gazes of others and began to change his jersey in the locker room.

Although he didn't appear here before.

But the national team has prepared him for the summer preparations.

He had his jersey in the dressing room.

Jersey with number 10 with his name on it -

Qin Xiong took off his casual clothes, changed into a training shirt, and then quickly left the locker room.

He didn't like to talk in the dressing room, no matter how lively it was, he didn't like it, he didn't think it made sense.

He came to the training ground with Liu Yi and Zhang Pengfei. Start with a jog to warm up. Then start doing a set of exercises that stretch the muscles and relax the muscles. Liu Yi and Zhang Pengfei were very curious, and after inquiry, they learned that Qin Xiong learned at Ajax, before the start of high-intensity training, the Ajax coaching staff will ensure that the players fully warm up, and stretch every muscle in the body to avoid training injuries to the greatest extent.

More and more players came to the training ground, and they would pay attention to Qin Xiong for a short time, but no one came up to talk to him. Participating in the warm-up training of the trio on Qin Xiong's side, the three of Qin Xiong were like a closed circle.

9:40 a.m.

Alihan came to the training ground with the coaching staff, and he gathered the players.

Qin Xiong stood at the edge of the first line, and Alihan smiled and nodded in greeting when he saw Qin Xiong.

In front of all the members of the national team, Alihan called Qin Xiong out of the ranks, and then handed him the captain's armband, officially announcing to the national team that Qin Xiong would be the captain.

Regardless of whether these teammates are sincere or not, everyone is applauding anyway, they are not fanatical, they are all big men. Not so many emotional outbursts.

Can Qin Xiong be a good captain, or simply say. Whether he can lead the national team to success will take time to test.

Qin Xiong pinched the captain's armband in his right hand, his eyes swept over his teammates, he didn't make any inauguration declaration, he held his head high and walked slowly back to his position with sharp eyes.

The national team training has officially begun!

Attached is the 2004 current national team squad (there will be no major changes in the short term)

Goalkeepers: Liu Yunfei, Li Jian, Sun Shoubo, An Qi.

Defenders: Wang Liang, Sun Xiang, Zhang Yaokun, Zheng Zhi, Wei Xin, Xu Yunlong, Li Weifeng, Ji Mingming, Xu Liang, Zhou Ting, Liu Jindong.

Midfielders: Shao Jiayi, Sun Jihai, Liu Yi, Zhao Junzhe, Li Xiaopeng, Li Ming, Yan Song, Zhou Haibin, Qin Xiong.

Forwards: Hao Haidong, Zhang Yuning, Li Yi, Li Jinyu, Zhang Pengfei

The pace and intensity of the national team's training did not bring Qin Xiong any pressure.

The lad, who had just been announced captain of the national team, was training in a state that was a drag on his team-mates.

He didn't look tired when others were visibly tired, and the rhythm of training was always the same.

Qin Xiong is extremely eye-catching in training, exceeding the standard to complete the tasks assigned by the coaching staff, and the quality of completion is absolutely outstanding.

Maybe some teammates will slander him in their hearts that he is eye-catching, and he deliberately works so hard, after all, he has the halo of Asia's No. 1 rising star on his head.

But if they knew that at Ajax, Qin Xiong would be able to make the European geniuses look at each other differently, and chase each other with Qin Xiong as a competitor in training, then how ridiculous would this idea be.

Training doesn't prove anything, training is determined by only two factors.

The first is the body, and the second is the attitude.

Qin Xiong, the slightly silent captain of the team, showed aggression that his teammates couldn't adapt to during the training session before the end of the afternoon training session.

After a personal cooperation with Zhang Pengfei in the frontcourt, he entered the penalty area, facing the goalkeeper Anqi had already blocked the angle, and Qin Xiong had no teammates to respond, he chose to force his feet to shoot!

Bang!

He hit Anqi in the chest with a powerful volley from close range, and Anqi instantly fell to the ground, clutching his chest as if he was seriously injured.

After Qin Xiong shot the goal, he stepped forward to ask about Anqi's state, and got the other party's personal reply that it hurt, and after slowing down, he straightened up and walked towards the backcourt with a calm face.

Many of the teammates were dumbfounded.

Obviously, it didn't seem like there was much of a chance, but Qin Xiong still forcibly got up.

It was just a training match, but he seemed to shoot with all his might.

Isn't it too late to pay attention to Anqi after shooting?

If you're worried about him getting hurt, why volley so hard?

At this point, Qin Xiong believes that there is no need to give any explanation to his teammates.

At Ajax, even if they know it's impossible to shoot, all players will see it as an opportunity to shoot in an official match, and decide whether to hit the angle or burst the shot.

Lobon was better, and Stekelenburg had a lot to improve in his selection of positions in front of goal, so in training matches, Stekelenburg was the goalkeeper who was shot the most, but he never complained.

Qin Xiong seemed to exude indifference on the court, fighting safely without hesitation about his teammates.

Before the end of the training match, in a midfield scramble, Qin Xiong and Zhou Haibin competed for a 55-open opportunity, when Zhou Haibin stood up one step ahead of him, Qin Xiong rushed up to confront the opponent physically, and secretly knocked Zhou Haibin directly away, to Qin Xiong's surprise, Zhou Haibin also fell to the ground.

He immediately turned around and instigated an attack after taking control of the football, and he was not interested in looking back at Zhou Haibin at all.

This made his teammates feel that Qin Xiong had gone too far in training and ignored the safety of his teammates.

After the training, Qin Xiong walked in front of Zhou Haibin, who was less than a month younger than him, and faced the youngest international player in the history of Chinese football, Qin Xiong asked calmly: "Why did you retreat in the last scramble?" ”

If it weren't for Zhou Haibin's strength, Qin Xiong would not have knocked him to the ground, to put it simply, it was Zhou Haibin who coaxed him!

Zhou Haibin's face was not very natural, and said: "It's just training, everyone is teammates, let's avoid injury, we still have games in a few days." ”

Qin Xiong lowered his head when he heard this, and couldn't help but show a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth.

After he raised his head again, his eyes became extremely cold and oppressive, and he stared at Zhou Haibin and said in a deep voice: "Let? Why let? Wounded? You play in the midfielder, I also play in the midfielder, you let me get injured in a reasonable scramble, you go to play, don't you have more opportunities to play? ”

Zhou Haibin was dumbfounded.

He didn't expect the captain to say this, and asked, "Isn't that easy to cause conflict?" Everyone knows that they also serve the country, isn't it okay to have contradictions? ”

Qin Xiong patiently asked him, "Who do you think I have the best relationship with here?" ”

Zhou Haibin pointed at Liu Yi and Zhang Pengfei, Qin Xiong nodded, then raised his right hand, raised two fingers, and said: "Liu Yi put me to the ground twice when defending me, and Zhang Pengfei also did it twice, but the former was reasonable, the latter was rude, Zhang Pengfei reached out and pulled my jersey to make me lose my center of gravity, and once he used wrestling moves." ”

After finishing speaking, Qin Xiong turned around and left, leaving a thoughtful Zhou Haibin.

Maybe most teammates have such doubts, is Qin Xiong's attitude in training too unkind?

But Qin Xiong noticed that players like Sun Jihai, Hao Haidong, Li Jinyu and other players had normal expressions and took it for granted.

Maybe it's because I've been to Europe and really experienced how European football treats training, so I understand that Qin Xiong's appearance in training is actually the most normal.

If you're a sheep in training, how can you be sure you'll be a lion in the race? (To be continued......)
