Evening of June 9, 2004.

Qin Xiong's first appearance for the national team has arrived.

Host Malaysia in Tianjin.

The stadium was packed.

When Qin Xiong walked into the stadium with his head held high with a caddie wearing the captain's armband and wearing the No. 10 jersey of the national team, his sharp eyes saw the spectacular scene of red flags fluttering in the stands and tens of thousands of Chinese fans shouting and cheering.

While the kick-off ceremony was underway, the TV cameras locked on him for a long time.

Liu Jianhong, a commentator on CCTV's live broadcast of the game, said: "As the most accomplished player in the history of Chinese football and about to celebrate his 19th birthday, Qin Xiong, who is about to celebrate his 19th birthday, finally joined our national team and put on the jersey of the Chinese national team. Judging from what we have learned in recent times, as well as Qin Xiong's interviews, including the superficial understanding of witnessing his entry now, we can see that Qin Xiong's mental temperament as a player is obviously different, he looks very confident, and he is also very calm, perhaps the great success he has achieved in the Netherlands and made himself a European champion, his confident and convincing aura is understandable.

In my personal opinion, the captain of a team cannot be selected based on the seniority, age, skills and other factors of the players, the first thing should be the mental outlook! Infect your teammates in a fighting temperament!

I think Qin Xiong is trustworthy in this regard, his temperament is not ostentatious, he is confident but not arrogant, he is a soldier who is ready for battle, he can be expected to lead by example, but he is not a big talker.

The competition is about to start, and we wish the Chinese national team a good performance in this game and lay a good foundation for us to advance to the quarterfinals of the World Cup in Asia! ”

Qin Xiong exchanged team flags with the captain of Malaysia to decide who would kick off first, and then took a group photo with the starting players before the game.

The Chinese team kicked off first.

Hao Haidong and Li Jinyu, the two starting forwards, stood at the kick-off point.

As for what kind of tactics the team plays, Qin Xiong respects and accepts any deployment of Alihan, and he does not bring personal ideas into this team.

There have been too many stories of discord between generals and coaches in football, and it is easy to understand that there are big-name players who are not convinced by the manager.

After all, big-name players are well-informed, and if he thinks a manager is incompetent, he will resist the manager's line-up and technical and tactical arrangements.

It's hard to draw conclusions about who is right and who is wrong, but from a theoretical point of view, the players are definitely wrong, because the most important thing in a team is discipline, and discipline includes obedience.

Alihan believes that China's 442 is the best formation, and Qin Xiong will not discuss this issue with the head coach, but will think about his role in the team and how to maximize the team's combat effectiveness.

Although he was taught at Ajax that the 442 formation was a product of the times, for the Chinese national team, the most advanced technical and tactical style of play was not something they could climb.

The thing that does what is good is also very common on the football field.

China kicked off first, with Hao Haidong kicking the ball to Li Jinyu, who returned the ball to Qin Xiong in midfield.

The Malaysian striker immediately rushed up to scramble, and to the cheers of the Chinese fans all over the field, Qin Xiong turned and kicked the ball to defender Zheng Zhi, who then passed the ball to right wing-back Wei Xin.

After Qin Xiong came out of the ball, he observed the distribution of Malaysia's formation, and at the beginning of the game, Malaysia's same 442 positions were evenly distributed, which seemed very reasonable.

If he moves forward, Malaysia is likely to directly tighten the three-line formation, so that the attacking Chinese team faces a frontal battle.

Qin Xiong ran to the right side of the midfield as usual, almost in a straight line up and down with Wei Xin, and Wei Xin handed the ball straight to Qin Xiong.

Before Qin Xiong received the ball, a Malaysian player came up to force it closely.

When it comes to the player's physique, Qin Xiong is obviously tall and strong among Chinese players, but he looks very ordinary in front of European players.

Stronger, taller, and confrontational in terms of speed and scramble, the Chinese team has a clear advantage.

Qin Xiong leaned on his back to his opponent who was close to him, and it was easier to hold the position than he would in the European arena, as if a mountain was hard for his opponent to shake.

Having an advantage in this easier individual confrontation is more conducive to Qin Xiong's ability to use his feet.

When the ball rolls over, he uses the outside of his right foot to pick up the ball that is rolling to the ground, and at the same time as the ball rises into the air, he turns and runs backwards, and after taking two steps, he moves a step to the side, still blocking the Malaysian defender behind him!

Carry the ball with your back and rainbow over!

The passion in the stands exploded!

Just opened, Qin Xiong's rainbow kick was outstanding, arousing the blood of many boys and pouring the hearts of many girls!

Qin Xiong ran forward two steps after turning around, the football was picked a little high by him, he did it on purpose!

Because he has observed the height of the Malaysian players, he has an advantage!

He got past the left wing-back of the opposition midfield, and as he ran forward, he met one of the two midfielders head-on, and he jumped up and easily swung the ball into the right front.

Zhang Pengfei waited for an opportunity on the right side, and instead of directly hitting the front line, he waited to cooperate with Qin Xiong.

Strictly speaking, Zhang Pengfei is not a qualified traditional winger, relative to the top European arena.

His speed in Asian football should be considered first-class, but in Europe it can only be regarded as mediocre, his shooting skills are still strong, his stopping and passing ability is relatively good, but only the breakthrough with the ball is not good, he can only rely on speed to eat, he will not learn to deceive the opponent's center of gravity like Qin Xiong, especially in the high-speed dribbling flexible change of direction, he can't do it.

However, compared to the Asian arena, his characteristics are still useful.

Moreover, he and Qin Xiong have played together since childhood, and they are familiar with each other, so they can naturally complement and activate each other.

Zhang Pengfei, who was dribbling the football at high speed along the side, paid attention to Qin Xiong's running direction, and Qin Xiong always followed up in a straight line two positions behind him.

The corners of Zhang Pengfei's mouth were filled with a wild smile.

It feels like it's back!

Just like they did when they were young, running on the football field!

He and Qin Xiong continued to cooperate in the front court, and behind the two, there was a strong man like a mountain sitting in front of the back line to act as a barrier, and that was Liu Yi.

He defended and the two of us attacked.

This rhythm has not changed since I was a child!

The only thing that has become: now we are wearing the national team jersey! Play for yourself, for the team, for all Chinese fans!

Qin Xiong showed his top-notch football prowess from the start, using a pick-and-turn pass to get past the Malaysian wing-back, and then headed the ball to Zhang Pengfei as it fell.

Now, Zhang Pengfei is advancing with the ball on the right side, so be careful, and the Malaysian midfielder runs quickly to the wing to defend him.

Zhang Pengfei passes!

Qin Xiong inserted the ball in the middle, beautiful!

Two over one!

Qin Xiong came to the penalty area with the ball, Zhang Pengfei approached the middle, Qin Xiong passed, inserted forward, Zhang Pengfei plugged straight!

In one go, it's two over one!

Qin Xiong single-handedly!

This opportunity is not very good, he is too close to the bottom line, Qin Xiong made a shooting posture, Malaysia's defender defense lost its center of gravity, wonderful!

Qin Xiong made an emergency stop in front of the baseline and kicked the ball back from behind with his right foot, what would he do with the ball? ”

When Qin Xiong kicked the ball back in front of the baseline, and the Malaysian defender rushed over to save his gravity, Qin Xiong did not look at the goal again, he crossed the ball in the penalty area with moderate strength on the spot.

Hao Haidong outflanked the back of the goal and faced an empty goal!

Easily pushed the ball into the empty goal, and at the home stadium of Tianjin in the national team game, nearly 40,000 fans witnessed the lightning goal of the Chinese team!

"The ball is in! The Chinese team took the lead! 1-0 lead over Malaysia!

Qin Xiong, the young captain of the Chinese team, and Zhang Pengfei entered the opponent's penalty area after a series of amazing cooperation on the right side of the front field, Qin Xiong was too selfless, he was too calm, he saw Hao Haidong's running position, and also saw Li Jinyu have a chance, but he chose to pass the ball to Hao Haidong who faced the empty goal, instead of Li Jinyu who ran in the middle of the penalty area, this is the best choice!

Does anyone still question whether Qin Xiong can be the captain of the national team?

It took him just 20 seconds to contribute to the national team and he helped the team open the door to victory! ”R1152
