Qin Xiong left Craven Farm Stadium with his head held high with the perfect statistics of one shot and three passes.

This is his Premier League debut.

The tone of the outside world immediately changed drastically.

Sarcasm turned to praise.

As Wenger said, Arsenal does not need him to stay on the bench for a year or more, but needs him to integrate into the team this season and make an indelible contribution to the team.

Qin Xiong is naturally unwilling to be a substitute, not because he underestimates the Premier League, but because he has always been confident in himself, and he thinks he can show himself in this passionate arena.

After the game, Wenger always had a smile on his face when he was interviewed. When talking about his performance against Arsenal in this game, he said: "Arsenal has always maintained the desire and ambition for the championship. Some people say that we won the league championship last season. Will relax this season, the team's performance in the opening stage of the league has strongly countered this view. Henry has recovered from his pre-season injury, Vieira continues to give everything for the team, and we have people like Qin Xiong I have to say that Qin Xiong and Arsenal's beautiful football philosophy are a match made in heaven. He makes Arsenal's midfield run quickly, and he can repeatedly and effectively attack the opponent. Once, twice, under the continuous strong impact, Created a strong pressure on the opponent, and finally seized the flaws exposed by the opponent's panic. Arsenal destroyed Fulham. We are the team with the most goals in the Premier League and maybe even the whole of Europe in the new season. I think We should no longer be criticized as conservative by some people, we not only won, but also won beautifully, five consecutive victories in the new season is not the end, we will always pursue victory."

It can be seen that Wenger is in a good mood, but there are also suspicions of making trouble. After all, in the same round, Manchester United was tied 2:2 away by Bolton, which caused Manchester United to fall behind Arsenal by 9 points.

Of course, Wenger will not let go of the opportunity to respond to Ferguson's remarks that he questioned Arsenal's unbeaten championship last season.

Other teammates also talked about Qin Xiong in interviews, such as Henry and Vieira praised Qin Xiong's performance.

Qin Xiong himself was very low-key when he was stopped by reporters for an interview in the mixed interview area after the game.

"Winning is the most important thing. I am very happy to win the game with my teammates in the first Premier League game. It will give me spiritual encouragement. Imagine if it were a draw or a loss. It would make I'm in a bad mood and naturally I'm under more pressure. I'm happy to play for this team. We don't need too much verbal communication. Our playing style is very similar and it's easier to cooperate in the game. Henry? He is A fantasy striker, he will find the most suitable space in the frontcourt, so that you will pass the ball to him without getting into trouble. I am not surprised that he scored two more goals in this game, and I even think he may still Missed a good chance or two and he deserved a hat-trick."

Since most of the teammates came back from the national team game, they were a little exhausted after playing the Premier League. There will be a Champions League group match in the middle of the week, so everyone did not celebrate the victory of the game.

Qin Xiong talked on the phone with Sylvia during dinner, and the other party congratulated him on his performance in the game, and kept telling her how she felt watching the game through TV broadcast.

Qin Xiong must never have imagined that Sylvia was watching the TV broadcast of the Premier League game in China.It was at night, and I was already on the bed in the school dormitory when I chatted with him.

After a day's rest, Qin Xiong returned to the club to start preparing for the Champions League group stage.

Slightly tired compared to other teammates.Needing more time to recover, Qin Xiong was in high spirits.He took the initiative to come to the gym after training.

When he started exercising the muscles of his lower body, a teammate appeared beside him. He turned his head and saw Cesc Fabregas, who was also looking at him.

From the beginning of September, the quality and intensity of Qin Xiong's training also faintly began to stimulate many young players.

Fabregas did not chat with Qin Xiong in the gym.The relationship between the two is not close, just like ordinary teammates.But Cesc Fabregas was strongly stimulated after witnessing Qin Xiong in the game against Fulham.

In terms of physical fitness, Qin Xiong is obviously far superior to him. Apart from his natural height and frame, Qin Xiong has shown qualities that surpass his peers in terms of running speed and enthusiasm.

What shocked Cesc Fabregas even more was Qin Xiong's game reading ability and overall vision.

The Premier League itself leaves little time for players to handle the ball. Basically, it is impossible for you to think about what to do next after you control the ball. Qin Xiong seems to have a clear grasp of the overall situation. Don't get confused, think about what to do next before taking possession of the ball.

This allowed his organizational talents to be brought into full play.

In terms of technical ability, Cesc Fabregas believes that he will not lose to Qin Xiong. He can pass the ball that Qin Xiong can pass, but in terms of timing, that is, the overall situation, he clearly feels the gap. Honing step by step is a change in thinking about playing football, and on the other hand is the gap in physical fitness.

When he saw Qin Xiong go to practice, he silently followed Qin Xiong's pace and walked into the gym.

......

On September 9, the 15-2004 European Champions Cup race officially kicked off.

Arsenal are in Group E.

The opponents in the same group are not too strong, and Arsenal has a strength advantage in the qualifying competition.

PSV Eindhoven, Panathinaikos, Rosenberg.

The opponents in the same group are all from the second-tier league.

The first match of the group stage will be played at Highbury against PSV Eindhoven, who is no stranger to Qin Xiong.

Even in such a small group, Wenger still cheered up the players in the pre-match dressing room.

"I know that our Champions League group situation will make us relax a little bit. Everyone thinks that we will easily qualify. Of course we are the strongest team, but there are 6 games in the Champions League group stage, and 3 games are still away until December. In this process, the Champions League will have an impact on our operations in the local league. Therefore, it is lucky for us to be assigned to such a group. We must seize the opportunity to qualify as soon as possible, so that First, we can focus more on the Premier League. Although Chelsea were tied by Aston Villa in the fifth round of the Premier League and we became the leaders of the Premier League, we must not take it lightly at this time. We must establish a bigger Therefore, we must cheer up and use our due strength to defeat our opponents. If we can qualify for the qualifying round in November, we will be able to better cope with the intensive schedule of the Premier League around Christmas. Our impact throughout the season is critical."

Wenger's words make sense.

The Premier League schedule is intensive and the competition intensity is high. This is obvious to all. In addition to one more cup game, there is no winter break. How to adjust the team's state and allocate physical energy is the biggest headache for the head coach.

Since they are in a group with an easy qualifying situation, they should take advantage of this opportunity instead of facing the game casually.

Qin Xiong continued to qualify for the starting lineup, and Arsenal's lineup remained unchanged from the Fulham match in the league.

Standing in the player tunnel at Highbury, Qin Xiong took a special look at PSV Eindhoven's starting lineup. He saw Park Ji-sung and Lee Young-pyo. When they met each other's eyes, they couldn't help but nodded each other as greetings.

In any case, being an opponent on the court does not necessarily mean that you will be an enemy off the court. For example, he and Park Ji-sung have exchanged jerseys with each other.

With the summer leading the Chinese team to the Asian Cup, Qin Xiong has become the number one star in Asia!

King of Asia!

So like Park Ji Sung, it is not surprising that Lee Young Pyo looks at Qin Xiong more differently.

Less than a year ago, they played against each other in the Eredivisie. Now, they still play for the Eredivisie team, and Qin Xiong has come to the top three Premier League in the world and has become the main player of the giants here.

Under the leadership of the referee team, players from the two teams began to enter the field. When entering the Highbury field, Park Ji-sung couldn't help but turned his head and looked at Qin Xiong, who was always in high spirits in the eyes of outsiders.

He knew that the situation on the team where the two were in had been reversed.

If PSV Eindhoven faced Ajax, they would think they had a [-]% chance of defeating Ajax.

So when they came to Highbury, most of their thoughts were: to avoid losing.

Park Ji-sung's expression became extremely serious, and he said silently in his heart: Chasing you, defeating you, surpassing you! (to be continued~^~)
