244 Captain

As for what Zhou Haibin said, it caused a conflict between teammates.

It's just too normal.

Every season, the famous clubs are more or less exposed to clashes between players on the training ground.

Most of the causes are also unnecessary in the eyes of the Chinese in training.

Isn't it necessary?

Is it really too much?

In training at Ajax, Qin Xiong often witnessed scolding, swearing, and even infrequent rough movements between players due to scrambling or coordination problems in training.

But when the training is over, everyone will forget about it.

Quite simply, that's how European players grow up from an early age.

They are used to this state.

After bathing, Qin Xiong, who had changed his clothes, had dinner with his teammates in the cafeteria.

Zhou Haibin joined him at the table with Liu Yi and Zhang Pengfei, and asked Qin Xiong some questions with great interest, including the intensity of the game, pressure, feelings and so on in the top field of European football.

Finally, he asked: "I watched the news yesterday, Arsenal officially announced that it is applying for a labor certification for you, is it true?" Are you moving to Arsenal? ”

Qin Xiong nodded while eating.

Zhou Haibin turned his gaze to the other table and said, "Then you and Ji Hai and Li Tie will meet in the Premier League next season." ”

Qin Xiong still nodded, feeling that there was nothing to make a fuss about.

However, he only then learned that in addition to Sun Jihai, there is also a Chinese player who plays for the Premier League team, Li Tie, as for why he was not recruited to the national team, whether it was because he had not played at Everton for a long time, or because of injury, Qin Xiong did not know.

Qin Xiong began to adapt to the training of the national team, which is actually less intense than his training in the club, and in team training or training matches, he needs to slow down, slow down, and slow down again to be able to cooperate with his teammates.

Taking the most basic passing and running coordination of team football as an example, Qin Xiong runs fast, his teammates can't pass, Qin Xiong can see the vacancy, and his teammates can't run, this is the problem.

When his teammates can't keep up with him, he has to reduce his speed to adapt to his teammates.

This made the change of direction prove that he was right to start in Europe.

The Chinese national team represents the level of Chinese football, if he starts his career in China, maybe after a season, he will not only slow down to adapt to this football environment, but assimilate it in being slowed down!

Fortunately, there are not many games in the national team throughout the year, so he can't just adjust his mentality and play more relaxed than in Europe.

Instead of motivating his teammates with impassioned enthusiasm, the young captain infected his teammates with a wild state.

Alihan realized at this time that it was the right thing to do to let Qin Xiong be the captain, and Qin Xiong's training attitude and aggressive posture were a good example for the team.

During the training, Qin Xiong also paid attention to the technical characteristics of his teammates, thinking about how to maximize the characteristics of his teammates, which is very important for a midfield commander

After three consecutive days of closed training at the Xianghe National Football Training Base, the national team went to Tianjin to prepare for the World Preliminaries.

After Qin Xiong returned to China, there were reporters waiting outside the Xianghe training base, hoping to interview Qin Xiong, but the national team was in closed training, although Alihan knew that he relied on Qin Xiong, but he did not want to give Qin Xiong too many privileges, he deeply understood that in a team, players can have competitive privileges in the team, but not life privileges.

When the national team arrived in Tianjin, he was warmly welcomed by a large number of fans, many of whom hoped to see him in reality.

The dismal end of the 2002 national team in the World Cup in South Korea and Japan will not discourage the enthusiasm of fans too much, after all, it is the first time that the national team has participated in the World Cup, and there are the final champions in the same group, Brazil, the third runner-up Turkey, and the Chinese team returned with a heavy defeat, what is the surprise?

It's just that the confidence of fans is hit by the shady scandal in Chinese football, coupled with the fiasco of the East Asian semi-finals at the end of last year.

Fortunately, the national team has a good table in the games since the East Asian semifinals, with 7 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss in 10 games, and the lost game was in Barcelona, which was defeated by a world-class giant, which did not hurt the feelings too much, but made fans once again soberly realize the gap between the national team and the world-class football level.

Now the fans are still very supportive of the national team, especially for the start of the 2006 World Cup Asian qualifiers, the Chinese national team got a perfect start.

Prior to the Asian quarterfinals, there will be 32 teams in eight groups, with the winners of each group advancing to the quarterfinals.

The Chinese team was divided into the fourth group, the first two games, against Kuwait and Hong Kong respectively, the Chinese team won two consecutive victories, ranked first in the group, and has a good hope of qualifying for the Asian quarterfinals as the group leader.

In the third round of the group stage, they will host a weak Malaysia in Tianjin.

After coming to Tianjin's home stadium and training in the stadium the day before the game, Qin Xiong felt that he was in good shape, but after all, it was a season of competition without rest, and he felt that his recovery from fatigue would be a little slow.

At the press conference before the World Preliminaries, Alihan took Qin Xiong to attend.

This has cheered up the sports media across China.

Just two days ago, they also complained that Alihan regarded Qin Xiong as the pearl of his palm and "raised in the deep boudoir", and finally let Qin Xiong show up at this time.

Alihan was very confident in the match against Malaysia, and he believes that the national team's performance in the first half of the year proves that the Chinese national team is first-class in Asia and has the quality to beat any Asian team.

Anyway, he resolutely refuses to admit that it is normal to lose to South Korea and Japan in the semifinals of East Asia.

After the reporters began to interview Qin Xiong, the topic deviated from the World Preliminaries.

A reporter asked Qin Xiong about the club's performance in the past season, and Qin Xiong avoided it with diplomatic rhetoric, but he didn't want to talk about topics that had nothing to do with the national team.

This made him look a little unconvinced, but the media reporters didn't say much, and reporters like CCTV Sports who covered the game highly praised Qin Xiong's live Q&A session in the news, believing that Qin Xiong's professionalism is a model for Chinese players.

When you come to the national team, don't talk about the club.

No matter how famous he is in Europe, now that the national team is going to play, the topic should stay within the scope of the national team.

And a reporter asked such a question.

"What do you think about being given the captaincy of the national team for the first time? Is this normal? ”

Qin Xiong replied calmly: "I don't know what kind of factors made me the captain of the national team, I don't care. I just know that a team needs a captain, there should be a captain, and since I'm the captain now, I'm going to do my best to do my best, as for why me? I don't think about it, it doesn't matter. Maybe one day when I'm not worthy of being the captain of the national team, you'll talk about it again. ”

Regarding the evaluation of the strength of the national team and the strength of his teammates, Qin Xiong replied righteously in the face of such a question: "In my opinion, players should not make too much self-evaluation in football, if you think you are weak, you will be pessimistic and depressed, if you think you are strong, you may be complacent." The reality is that the players of a national team are selected by the head coach, and the selection criteria are based on the team's comprehensive consideration. Who's strong and what? It doesn't matter, he's one of the best characters among us, and there's no better character to replace! Don't ask me such stupid questions, maybe the team is not the strongest in history, but it is the strongest now, as for whether we can get honors, whether we can get better results, we do our best, even if we can't get it, it doesn't mean that we can change the status quo by choosing another 11 or more than 20 Chinese players. When we came to the national team, we should show attitude and awareness, rather than immersing ourselves in comparison, who is strong and who is weak, whether we can beat who and who we can beat, it doesn't matter, football is played, spelled out, not spoken, not debated! ”

The scene was silent.

Then a reporter took the lead in applauding!

They're tired of the clichΓ©s of too many celebrities in Chinese sports being interviewed in a formulaic way.

It's too rare for a star like Qin Xiong to be self-assertive and dare to express his personal opinions!

The content of the interview on this day appeared on the news network, and a famous quote by Qin Xiong was born.

Football is played, spelled, not spoken, not debated! R1152
