Eight watches are over! ――

After Cannavaro's official website released a statement, Freddie came to Qin Xiong's home.

Sylvia was by Qin Xiong's side, and Qin Xiong's expression looked calm.

Cannavaro would not have made such a statement for no reason, and he would only do so if he was very sure of winning the Ballon d'Or.

Freddie sighed, "He must have received the exact news, and now it seems unlikely that you want to become Mr. Golden Globe this year." ”

It's not that Freddie gave up, but he recognized the reality.

Cannavaro must also have a team behind him, and as the captain of the Italian national team, his influence and interpersonal network in European football are definitely stronger than Qin Xiong's.

In other years, it may not be much, but in this special year of the World Cup, Cannavaro's chips are very decisive.

Qin Xiong smiled when he heard this, and said, "I still have next year, the year after that." ”

Freddie stopped talking, but finally turned into a sigh.

He could hear that in fact, Qin Xiong's words were not comforting himself, but comforting him!

Because Qin Xiong will not give himself any excuse for the next chance, the next time he will work hard, and start all over again.

He'll give it his all, just this once, every time!

In fact, whether Cannavaro releases this personal statement or not will not affect Qin Xiong's state of mind, and he still has to fully devote his energy to the game.

Real Madrid begin preparations for the Champions League group stage against Lyon, which can be seen as a battle for the top spot in the group, with Real Madrid having to win the game to have a chance of progressing to the knockout stages as top of the group, with a loss or a draw being the final result of the top two finishes.

8:45 p.m. on Nov. 22.

Santiago-Bernabeu was packed.

Real Madrid fans rushed in the stands to cheer on the team, and everyone thought it was a shameful match for Real Madrid!

Beat Lyon to reclaim top spot in the group. Revenge for the defeat at the Gelland Stadium!

The players from both sides lined up to enter the field, the atmosphere of the big battle was slightly dignified, and the French team was shocking, and came to the Bernabeu with confidence with their heads held high, as if they had no reverence here!

Real Madrid is also full of confidence with the recent form, and everyone wants to get back the lost dignity in Lyon!

"Matchday 5 of Group E of the UEFA Champions League group stage has arrived. Real Madrid sat at the Bernabeu to meet the challenge of Lyon, this game for the two teams that have joined hands to qualify, is nothing more than a battle for the first or second place in the group, Real Madrid lost a 2:3 at the Stadium in Gerland, if it can win today, it will almost be able to tie the score, the record advantage of Lyon to win the top, of course, if Lyon wins against Real Madrid. Then the last group game becomes irrelevant, even if it is a draw, Lyon are firmly in the top spot of the group!

In order to avoid the top spot in the other groups in the knockout draw, both teams will have to give it their all for victory.

Now let's look at the starting line-ups for both sides.

Real Madrid started 433.

Goalkeeper: Casillas.

Midfielders: Diarra, Qin Xiong. Emerson.

Forwards: Reyes, Ruud van Nistelrooy. Raul.

Lyon starting 451.

Midfielders: Claire, Thiago, Juninho. Tulalang, Malouda.

Striker: Karui.

Well, the game will start soon, and Real Madrid will kick off first. ”

As soon as the game began, Real Madrid quickly instigated an attack.

Qin Xiong, who has been in great form recently, confidently flicked the ball sideways and then diagonally after receiving Raul's return pass in midfield, getting rid of Kalou's pressing. Then he immediately burst into acceleration and rushed forward, and when Juninho Jr. came to press, he stopped the ball on the spot and flicked it sideways, and the emergency stop changed direction to shake off Juninho.

He won the applause of Madrid fans, and now seeing Qin Xiong playing on the pitch is the greatest enjoyment of Real Madrid fans.

Tulalang and Thiago were targeted before the game by coach Houllier, and the defensive target was Qin Xiong!

The two moved very tacitly to block Qin Xiong's advance.

With Qin Xiong's fame in European football, more and more teams will list him as the number one target in midfield when it comes to targeted defense.

As we all know, if Qin Xiong is contained, then Real Madrid's attack will lose order and fluency.

But the accompanying question is, can Qin Xiong be absolutely restrained?

He's a team player.

Never hard!

Seeing that Tulalang and Tiago were in a tight battle and their attention was clearly on him, Qin Xiong decisively slashed the ball behind Tulalang.

Raul, who cut inside from the wing, stopped the ball in front of the penalty area, and the Lyon back line mainly blocked the through ball pass between Raul and Ruud van Nistelrooy, but Raul crossed the ball to Reyes on the right.

Reyes tried to break through Abidal at the moment of stopping.

It's a pity he failed!

Abidal cut the ball right at his feet, and after breaking the ball, he passed it straight to Malouda in front of him, who kept the ball and passed it sideways to the feet of Juninho, the heart of Lyon's playmaker.

Juninho Jr. dribbled through the midfield and sent a through ball through Real Madrid's waistline, and Karui retreated to meet the ball directly laterally.

Clark, who ran up from the side, shot straight from the distance!

The football was slightly raised over the crossbar, startling the Real Madrid players in a cold sweat.

Obviously, in today's game, although Real Madrid has not yet put on a very aggressive posture, Lyon has made up his mind to use defensive counterattacks to deal with Real Madrid.

In the 5th minute of the game, Qin Xiong pulled the side and exchanged positions with Raul and went down to the bottom, he shook Levier on the left side and then crossed with a flower arrangement, Raul grabbed the ball and shook his head in front of the goal!

Bang!

The ball bounced off the post, and Raul held his head in regret.

The Bernabeu erupted in deafening applause and cheers.

Qin Xiong's delicate display of skills caught the eye, and the audience was fascinated.

However, many Real Madrid fans who were still applauding suddenly stopped.

Because they saw that Lyon was seizing the opportunity and playing a very dangerous attack.

Qin Xiong and Raul both rushed up, so the midfield and the defense on the side were slightly empty.

Clark receives Tulalang's diagonal pass and rushes forward on the right flank!

He quickly pushed Lyon's attack into Real Madrid's dangerous zone.

Just as Carlos stepped forward to make an interception, Clark crossed the ball to Juninho Jr., who ran up from behind.

Striker Karui ran in position, Juninho Jr. observed the layout of Real Madrid's defensive line, and his confidence suddenly exploded! (To be continued......)
