Argentina was defeated by Germany.
Puyol defeated Germany.
Iniesta defeated the Netherlands in overtime.
The World Cup in South Africa was completely over.
Spain had won two major championships in two years. Their hegemony was complete!
.....
When the Spanish national team returned triumphantly with the World Cup, Qin Xiong, who was far away in China, had just started his vacation.
He had to attend various meetings of the China Football Association while resting.
This was a phenomenon that made him feel very strange.
A group of administrative staff had to summarize the performance of the China team in the World Cup in South Africa. They also had to discuss how China's football should develop and whether the next manager of the China team should be a foreign coach or a local coach …
It seemed that the development of football had become the top priority of the whole country, but it was a group of people who had the gift of gab but had not played much football making decisions …
Of course, in addition to the endless meetings, there was also a celebration party where everyone was beaming with joy.
The top leaders of China received the China national team and gave high praise.
The leaders of China Football Association at all levels came to China's national team and gave high praise.
China's media interviewed China's national team and gave high praise …
Many things were still undecided in the end, but time passed just like that. According to the information that the outside world understood, it seemed that China's football had done a lot of big things recently.
But the pressing issue of the manager was still undecided.
Qin Xiong expressed his position on the selection of the manager.
A foreign coach had the advantage of a foreign coach, which was naturally his professionalism, but whether a foreign coach could understand China's football and integrate into China's football was a hidden danger that could not be ignored.
A local coach also had the advantage of a local coach, which was that he knew China's football inside out. As for the disadvantage, it was nothing more than whether he could lead China's football on the right path.
In fact, China's football was developing, and there was a huge gap between it and the advanced countries in the world.
Although China's football ranking was expected to reach the top 30 in the world, the actual level of China's football was still terrible.
If the world's top teams were compared to adult men, then China's football was still a child who could just walk and run.
In such a practical situation, finding a wise and farsighted elder to guide the rational brawny man might be like adding wings to a tiger, but with an immature brat, no matter how insightful and insightful he was, it would only be a waste of time and energy.
As for who would lead the China team in the end, Qin Xiong did not pay much attention to it, because once he participated, it would consume a lot of energy. He also had to consider the club's new season.
However, the new manager must be able to withstand the pressure and gain the support and trust of the China Football Association.
At the very least, the China national team had reached a turning point. The older generation of players such as Sun Jihai, Li Weifeng, and Shao Jiayi would definitely not be able to contribute to the China team four years later. Their retirement was the general trend.
At most, he could stay on the national team for another year or two. It would be best if he could help the newcomers grow quickly.
Therefore, the China team would experience the pain of a new generation.
In mid-July, the China Football Association announced the new general manager of the China national team: Gao Hongbo.
.....
Qin Xiong's career development made a breakthrough in the summer. With the help of the World Cup, his personal influence reached a new peak in China and the Asian region. His personal brand with the same name opened up a territory in the entire Asian market and gained a lot. It even had a place in the European and American markets.
At the same time, under the operation of Sylvia, Qin Xiong's personal brand began to enter the high-end men's accessories and fashion market.
Perfume, watches, handbags, belts ….
His endorsement fee also rose sharply under the operation of Freddy.
According to foreign media predictions, Qin Xiong would become the highest paid football player of the year.
There were many things that Qin Xiong did not have to worry about. He stayed in the mansion in Jiangcheng and enjoyed a happy family life with his wife and children.
At the end of July, Qin Xiong uploaded a video on his personal website, which immediately became a hot topic for the fans.
In the video, Qin Xiong stood on the edge of his swimming pool in swimming trunks. Sylvia was the photographer and did not appear in the video. Qin Xiong's son, Qin Ye, stood beside Qin Xiong, but there was a diving board in front of him.
Qin Ye had a mischievous smile on his face and looked back at Qin Xiong from time to time. Qin Xiong bent down and gently pushed his back, saying, "Son, do your best."
Qin Ye walked step by step onto the diving board. When he reached the edge, he seemed to be a little scared. He restrained his smile and looked back at Qin Xiong. Qin Xiong smiled and gave him a thumbs up.
Qin Ye saw his father's encouraging gesture and seemed to have made up his mind. He turned around to face the pool and jumped in impulsively!
Sylvia let out a cry of surprise or worry, not knowing if it was a cry of surprise or worry.
She quickly walked to the edge of the pool with her camera and aimed it at the water.
She saw Qin Ye instinctively waving his hands in the clear water and kicking his legs in the water. In just a few strokes, his head popped out of the water.
Then he giggled and swam to the edge of the pool like a "dog paddle". Then Qin Xiong picked him up from the water.
The video ended.
This video became a hot topic among Qin Xiong's fans and quickly spread to other places.
Some people felt that Qin Xiong was a little cruel to his child!
What if the child chokes?
What if the child suffers from other side effects because of this?
Another voice felt that Qin Xiong had honed his son's willpower from a young age and that this kind of courage was extraordinary.
Many of the fans who were already parents supported Qin Xiong and felt that Qin Xiong's way of doing things was better for his child to grow up healthily. Of course, it was on a psychological level.
Qin Xiong was proud of his son and didn't care what other people thought. Anyway, he wanted his son to stop being spoiled from a young age.
At the beginning of August, Qin Xiong returned to England with Sylvia and Qin Ye.
They didn't go back to the villa where they lived before. Freddy bought a new villa for him in the summer.
The area was more spacious and the villa had more advanced sports facilities. The back garden was transformed into a small basketball court.
There were three new cars in his garage.
After having dinner with Freddy at a restaurant in the city, they drove to the harbor.
Enjoying the pleasant sea breeze and looking at the beautiful harbor, Freddy asked with a smile, "Do you really plan to stay in Liverpool for a long time?"
Qin Xiong nodded with a smile.
In fact, there were clubs that wanted to buy him in the summer.
For example, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain, who also didn't lack money, and Real Madrid, who changed their minds.
When Manchester City's offer of 150 million pounds arrived at Liverpool F.C., who dared to say that the board of directors wasn't tempted?
But Qin Xiong was firm in his belief. He temporarily stopped the idea of drifting. On one hand, he wanted to give his family a stable environment. On the other hand, his dream of being in the club had not been fully realized.
After the restructuring of the Champions League, no club had been able to successfully defend their title.
Qin Xiong had not become the player with the most Champions League titles.
He was ambitious and now was not the time to be satisfied!
