Lying on the bed in the hotel, Qin Xiong was thinking about what he had been born today.

The franchise debut ceremony was much better than he thought.

He did wonder if his arrival would be rejected by Liverpool fans because he used to play for Arsenal to hit Liverpool at Anfield.

As a result, the spectacular sight of Anfield made him realize that his worries were completely redundant.

Red Army fans regard Chinese capital as a savior and regard Qin Xiong's arrival as a good medicine to boost their spirits, which makes fans have higher expectations and greater confidence in the new season.

The Times interview was formal, just like the official interview.

However, the interview with the Audio News is more like Tony Barrett helping Qin Xiong better understand the current situation of Liverpool and facilitate Qin Xiong to integrate into Liverpool.

Although the club has been acquired by Chinese capital, in England, the emotional belonging of football clubs is local fans, and the largest market and survival basis are also local fans. If foreign capital comes, it will definitely be a loss-win situation.

Therefore, Qin Xiong must have a deep understanding of what Liverpool needs now, especially being accepted by fans, it will be easier to integrate into the team.

This is different from the situation when he joined Arsenal that year. Arsenal's situation is not complicated. In the o4 season, everything is thriving and the team is moving forward steadily.

In any case, Qin Xiong is very grateful to Tony Barrett's interview.

The next day, Qin Xiong woke up in the early morning, finished packing up and having breakfast, and took a bus to Melwood Training Base.

Outside the training base early, there were fans wandering around. When they saw Qin Xiong get out of the taxi and walk towards the training base, they burst into cheers.

Now, they can't wait to see Qin Xiong join the Liverpool team training.

Qin Xiong waved to the fans and said hello, then walked into the Melwood training base.

When he walked to the door of the first team locker room, Qin Xiong knocked on the door politely, and then pushed open the door himself, but there was no one inside.

He walked in and found the wardrobe of player No. 7. It was already a brand new name tag on it, and it was Qin Xiong.

While changing clothes, someone came in from outside. Qin Xiong saw the visitor and greeted him: "Good morning. Stephen."

Captain Gerald unexpectedly saw Qin Xiong coming so early. He walked towards Qin Xiong and took the initiative to reach out and said, "I heard that you are a training model player before, but I didn't expect that you are indeed worthy of your reputation."

Qin Xiong and him are old acquaintances. During the days of British competition, they were old opponents with Gerald. He went to Real Madrid and also met for two consecutive seasons in the Champions League.

"Haha, I just can't sleep anymore, I'm a little excited, wanting to get familiar with the new environment and get to know my new teammates."

Gerald smiled and said, "Don't worry, Anfield doesn't have so many intrigues, but unlike the Bernabeu's locker room, we can only be happy and unhappy. It's that simple, and our teammates are easy to get along with."

Qin Xiong originally planned to go to the gym to warm up first. However, since Gerald arrived early, he waited for Gerald to change his clothes. The two left the gym together and went to the training ground.

Since the teammates and coaching staff have not arrived yet, Qin Xiong suggested playing passes with Gerald.

The two people started passing the ball five meters apart, and there was only one rule: to ensure that the football did not land.

This will enhance the ball feel.

Qin Xiong picked up the ball with his toes, then pushed the ball a little and kicked it to Gerald. The latter stopped the ball with his thigh and kicked it gently to Qin Xiong without waiting for the ball to land.

The two of them went back and forth, because the ball was not fast and the strength was very light. In addition, the pass was accurate, so the football never landed. The two of them used their thighs, shoulders, foreheads, calves, and even Qin Xiong would use their heels to stop the ball, and pass each other in an air relay manner like juggling.

The distance was gradually widened, from five to ten meters apart, and then fifteen meters apart. It was not until twenty meters that the two made mistakes, and the football finally landed at Qin Xiong's feet.

Gerald smiled and raised his hand to show his apologies. His passing power was a bit strong, which made Qin Xiong difficult to control. Although Qin Xiong stopped the ball perfectly, he could not connect the action to keep the football in the air.

Outside the training base, the fans who saw Qin Xiong and Gerald passing the ball to each other were particularly excited. They seemed to have watched a football performance for free, and they even applauded.

Gerald and Qin Xiong played for about 10 minutes, and Mascherano and Torres came to the training ground and directly joined the pass game between the two.

The four players narrowed the distance and turned into four corners of passes. Mascherano, who has the weakest ball control skills, always made mistakes, which made him very depressed.

However, during the passing game, he could also feel that the ball Qin Xiong passed to him was the most comfortable.

At 9 a.m., first-team players and coaches gathered on the training ground.

Benitez briefly introduced Qin Xiong and started training.

Since Qin Xiong was training under the guidance and supervision of his personal coaching team before the transfer, his physical fitness and physical condition were completely fine, and he did not fail to keep up with the rhythm because he missed a few days of pre-season training in the middle of the transfer.

The latest training period is in the physical reserve stage, and Qin Xiong's various indicators in the team are outstanding.

He was on par with Torres in the sprint, was comparable to Gerald in the strength test, and was indistinguishable from Kuyt in the endurance competition.

Training at this stage always makes the players feel refreshed, as if they are completely released, and infinitely raise their physical limits.

After the morning training, the players dined together in the restaurant at the Melwood Training Base.

By this time, Qin Xiong was able to get along with many teammates in the team.

In Liverpool, Qin Xiong also has his junior brother Babel of the past. Although the two of them took different paths less than a month after they met in the Ajax youth team, the meeting again at Liverpool allowed the two to have many topics.

The afternoon training kept Qin Xiong sweating all the time. When it came to dusk, Benitez asked the players to relax and train and play football games.

At this time, Qin Xiong sat aside to rest. What surprised him was that Alonso took the initiative to come over and sit down next to him.

"Have, we're meeting again."

Qin Xiong's words "Meet again" naturally mean that the two will meet at Liverpool after the Champions League match six months ago.

Alonso smiled gently and said, "I thought this sentence should be what I said to you at the Bernabeu."

Qin Xiong recalled the recent offensive of Real Madrid against Alonso in the transfer market.

He looked serious and said, "Will stay in Liverpool, okay?"

Alonso turned his head and stared at Qin Xiong, and then he said in a deep voice for a long time: "Then let's have a meal together tonight?"
