244 Captain

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

This is simply too normal.

Every season, those famous clubs will more or less expose conflicts between players in the training ground.

Most of the causes are caused by unnecessary over-strikes in the eyes of Chinese people during training.

Isn't it necessary?

Have you really gone too far?

During Ajax's training, Qin Xiong often witnessed players' confrontation, dirty words, and even infrequent movements due to fighting or cooperation issues during training.

But after the training, everyone will leave it behind.

It's very simple. This is how European players grew up.

They are used to this state.

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

Zhou Haibin joined his and Liu Yi and Zhang Pengfei's dining table, and enthusiastically asked Qin Xiong some questions, including the intensity, pressure, feelings and so on in the top European football stadiums.

Finally he asked: "When I read the news yesterday, Arsenal officially announced that he was applying for a labor certificate for you. Is it true? Are you going to transfer to Arsenal?"

Qin Xiong nodded while eating.

Zhou Haibin turned his sight to another table and said: "Then next season, you and Ji Hai and Li Yan will meet in the Premier League."

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

However, he only then realized that in addition to Sun Jihai, there was another Chinese player playing for the Premier League team, Li Hui. As for why he was not recruited into the national team, it was because he had not played for a long time in Everton or because he was injured, Qin Xiong didn't know.

Qin Xiong began to adapt to the training of the national team. In fact, the training intensity here is lower than that of his club. In team training and cooperation or training matches, he needs to slow down, slow down, and then slow down to cooperate with his teammates.

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

Teammates can't keep up with his pace. He has to slow down his speed to adapt to his teammates.

This made the change of direction prove his correct choice to start in Europe.

The Chinese national team represents the level of Chinese football. If he started his career in China, perhaps after a season, he would not only slow down to adapt to this football environment, but assimilate with it while being slowed down!

Fortunately, there are not many games in the national team throughout the year. He can't just adjust his mentality and go to the game more relaxed than in the European arena.

Instead of stimulating his teammates with passionate enthusiasm, the young captain infects his teammates with a wild and erectional state.

Alihan realized at this time that it was a very correct thing to let Qin Xiong be the captain. Qin Xiong's training attitude and his due aggressive attitude set a good example for this team.

During the training period, Qin Xiong was also paying attention to the technical characteristics of his teammates and thinking about how to maximize his teammates' characteristics, which is crucial for a midfield commander.

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

After Qin Xiong returned to China, there were reporters waiting outside the Xianghe training base, hoping to interview Qin Xiong. However, the national team was in closed training. Although Alihan knew that he relied on Qin Xiong, he did not want to give Qin Xiong too much privilege. 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, it was warmly welcomed by a large number of fans, including Qin Xiong's fans who hoped to see him in reality.

The 2002 national team ended in the bleak end of the Korean and Japanese World Cup. It would not undermine the enthusiasm of fans too much. After all, it was the first time that the national team competed in the World Cup. There were the last champions of Brazil and third place in Türkiye in the same group, and the Chinese team returned with a crushing defeat. What is there to be unexpected?

It only hits fans' confidence that the shady scandal in Chinese football, coupled with the end of the East Asian semi-finals at the end of last year.

Fortunately, the national team has performed well since the semi-finals of East Asia, with 7 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss in 10 games. The lost game was in Barcelona and was defeated by world-class giants. This is not too sad. It just made the fans once again realize the gap between the national team and 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.

Before the Asian quarterfinals, 32 teams will form 8 groups, and each group will have the top spot to advance to the quarterfinals.

The Chinese team was assigned to the fourth group. In the first two games, they played against Kuwait and Hong Kong respectively. The Chinese team won two consecutive victories and ranked first in the group. It is very likely to advance to the Asian quarterfinals as the top spot in the group.

In the third round of the group stage, they will face the weak Malaysia at home in Tianjin.

When he came to Tianjin home court and was training on the court the day before the game, Qin Xiong felt in good condition, but after all, he had not had a rest for a season of games, and he felt that his fatigue recovery would be a little slow.

At the press conference before the World Cup qualifiers, Alihan brought Qin Xiong to attend.

This has inspired sports media across China.

Just two days ago, they complained that Alihan regarded Qin Xiong as the pearl in his hand and "raised in the deep boudoir", and finally it was at this time that Qin Xiong showed up in public.

Alihan seemed very confident about the match against Malaysia. He believed that the performance of the national team in the first half of the year proved that the Chinese national team was first-class in Asia and had the strength to defeat any Asian team.

Anyway, he firmly refused to admit that it was normal for him to lose to South Korea and Japan in the semi-finals of the East Asian quarter-finals.

After the reporters began interviewing Qin Xiong, the topic deviated from the World Cup.

A reporter asked Qin Xiong about his performance in the club in the past season, and Qin Xiong avoided diplomatic words, but he did not want to talk about any topics that had nothing to do with the national team.

This made him seem a little unpopular, but the media reporters didn't say much, and reporters who came to report on the game such as CCTV Sports highly praised Qin Xiong's live Q&A in the news, believing that Qin Xiong's professional qualities are the example of Chinese players.

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

No matter how famous he is in Europe, the national team is now playing games, and the topic should be within the national team.

And a reporter asked such a question.

"How do you think about being given captain position when you first became selected for the national team? Is this normal?"

Qin Xiong replied calmly: "I don't know what factors make me elected as the captain of the national team. I don't care. I only know that a team needs a captain, and there should be a captain. Since I am now the captain, I will do my best to do my best. As for why it is me? If I don't think about it, that doesn't matter. Maybe when I am not worthy of the captain of the national team one day, you will discuss this issue."

Regarding the evaluation of the national team's strength and the teammates' feelings, Qin Xiong replied righteously in the face of such a problem: "In my opinion, players should not do 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 proud and complacent. The reality is that the players of a national team are selected by the head coach. The selection criteria are based on the team as a comprehensive consideration. No matter how the outside world evaluates, such a national team is the strongest team in China. Who has the strength? This does not matter. He is the best role among us, and there is no comparison

His better role can be replaced! 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 and achieve better results, we do our best. Even if we can't get it, it will not mean that we can change the status quo by choosing another 11 or more Chinese players. When we come to the national team, we should show attitude and awareness, rather than immersing in the comparison. Who is stronger and weak, and whether we can defeat who is who, it doesn't matter. Football is played, made by force, not spoken, not debate!"

The scene was silent.

Then a reporter took the lead in applauding!

They are tired of the clichés about too many celebrities in the Chinese sports world formulating interviews.

It is rare to see celebrities like Qin Xiong who are self-centered and dare to express personal opinions!

The interview content on this day was posted on the news broadcast, and a famous saying was born by Qin Xiong.
