Qin Xiong returned to Beijing, the capital of China, in a low-key manner. When he appeared at the Xianghe National Men's Football Training Base, the media flocked to him.

As the leader of the Chinese national team, Qin Xiong himself will occupy the headlines of the football media for a long time when he plays for Real Madrid.

If the Spanish media will pay attention to Qin Xiong's contribution and role in the Bernabeu, then almost every match day, when the Chinese media reports European football news, Qin Xiong will definitely occupy the headlines.

During this period, the Chinese national team temporarily got rid of the vicious circle of "rebuild, break, rebuild, break" in the past.

The overall situation is very stable. Overseas players are emerging in European clubs. Zhao Junzhe and Zheng Zhi can play games in England. Shao Jiayi has a good start in Germany. Sun Xiang has not yet gained a firm foothold in the Netherlands. Zhou Haibin has no games to play for a long time .

The status quo of the Overseas Legion is mixed, but the attitude is still very positive, and the momentum is relatively rapid.

Especially in terms of the attitude and philosophy towards professional football, it can be seen from the team training camp that the attitude of overseas players has undergone a great change.

The "human touch" that used to appear in the training has disappeared, and the opportunities that should be grabbed and fought are never missed, and there is no fear of hurting harmony or accidentally causing injuries to teammates.

Training is also risky. Looking at the news of European clubs, players are injured in training every week. This is a norm, not an accident.

The third group match of the Asian Cup qualifiers was held at the home court of the Chinese team. The national team came to the home court in Tianjin. Qin Xiong led the army wearing the captain's armband.

The visiting opponent is the weak Singapore team.

In the competition, Qin Xiong took the lead.In 70 minutes, he helped the team end the opponent.

Zhang Pengfei, Han Peng and Zheng Zhi each scored a goal, and Qin Xiong scored twice and sent an assist. The team secured a 70-5 victory at 0 minutes.

Alihan did not replace Qin Xiong, probably because he had a political mission. After all, Chinese fans really want to see Qin Xiong on the court, so Qin Xiong took the initiative to reduce the pace to avoid excessive consumption.As long as he's on the pitch, the fans are happy to watch.

After killing Singapore with five goals, the Chinese team rushed to Singapore non-stop. The third and fourth games in the group stage were back-to-back, but the home and away games were reversed.

Staying in a hotel in Singapore, Qin Xiong accepted a personal interview.

An interview with my old friend Yan Qiang.

This interview is considered a routine, and it is a media interaction in the capacity of the captain of the national team.

It's just that Qin Xiong's identity and football status are a bit special.It became a high standard like an exclusive interview.

Dress casually and sit in the window seat of the hotel restaurant.Qin Xiong's eyes wandered from time to time to the scenery outside the window. Singapore is sunny and beautiful, and it is a good place to relax.

When Yan Qiang arrived, Qin Xiong didn't even come to his senses, and Yan Qiang didn't see him, he said hello and sat down.

There is also a videographer beside Yan Qiang, it seems that it is not just as simple as a written record of the interview.

Yan Qiang noticed that Qin Xiong's face was a little haggard, and asked with concern: "Did you not take a break from the recent journey?"

Qin Xiong lifted his spirits and smiled.He said softly, "Maybe, let's start the interview."

He is not used to showing his vulnerable side in front of the outside public.

After all, he is a man, how dare he show his weak side, even if he feels heavy after waking up this morning and yawns, he still needs to take a bath to refresh himself, and there is still a game waiting for him.

Yan Qiang sorted out his thoughts and officially started the interview.

"As the champion of the last Asian Cup, the Chinese team canceled the qualification of the defending champion to directly enter the Asian Cup due to the reform of the AFC. Do you think this is a good thing or it will increase the schedule of the Chinese team? Will it bring spirit to the Chinese team? pressure?"

Qin Xiong said without hesitation: "The reform is definitely not aimed at the Chinese team. We just caught up with this time. I think as the champion, first of all, there should be no pressure, but self-confidence! We can win the Asian Cup. Why? Are you still afraid of the Asian Cup qualifiers? As for whether there will be more tasks on the schedule, this must be treated rationally. I think playing more official games will help the Chinese team to run-in and mature, which is a good side.”

"The Chinese team is currently ranked first in the group, so it should be no problem to qualify?"

"The game is played out, not calculated. As players, our task is to play every game well, perform well, and qualify enough to qualify, then we will qualify. It is meaningless to draw conclusions prematurely, especially It's just the Asian Cup qualifiers."

"In the next Asian Cup, there will be an Australian team that will 'get out of the big and enter Asia', including in the Asian qualifiers for the World Cup in the future. Australia will participate. How will this affect the Chinese team?"

After a moment of thought, Qin Xiong replied: "Good thing, Australia's overall strength will definitely rank among the top in Asia. This will intensify competition, and only with competition can we make progress. After just experiencing the World Cup, I think my teammates and I We all realize that Asia is just a well, we can’t sit on the well, we need to climb out of the well to see what the world is like, where we are in the world, and then work towards a higher direction, Australia can make The competitiveness of Asian football has increased, I think this is a good thing, and I personally look forward to playing against the Australian team."

"well, why?"

"Because they did well in the World Cup!"

"Hahaha."

Qin Xiong told the truth, Yan Qiang could hear Qin Xiong feeling a little lonely in the Asian competition.

Just like the Chinese team playing against Singapore, victory will have a positive impact on the Chinese team, but from the perspective of strength improvement, the value of the game is not great!

The Chinese team needs to see the world more and appreciate different styles of football, so that they will have the opportunity to not be at a loss when they compete with masters in the future.

For the players of the contemporary Chinese team, it is definitely difficult to make a significant leap in technical strength, but there are still many things that can be changed in terms of mentality and experience. They can hone a better mentality and accumulate richer experience. , which will also have a positive effect on overall strength.

Yan Qiang returned the topic to Chinese football.

"Now the national team is relatively stable, but what about the future?"

Qin Xiong smiled wryly, and shook his head: "It's meaningless for us to talk about this topic. How many children play football, the scale of the formal football training system, and the development of the football industry chain are all realities rooted in China. These are what determine the future development of Chinese football.

Now?Now we can only hope that the only poor young players can plan their careers reasonably, don't waste their youth, waste their talents, avoid detours, and provide fresh blood to the national team in the future. "(To be continued~^~)
