On the morning of January 10th.
Qin Xiong walked into a well-built gym in his villa. The room was very spacious, with more than 400 square meters of space. Half of the space was filled with his usual sports equipment, and the other half was an indoor swimming pool.
Qin Xiong, who was only wearing swimming trunks, stood on the edge of the pool and stretched his body. He slowly sank into the water and stared at the large electronic screen hanging on the wall.
There were many text messages on the screen.
January 8th, the Asian Cup began.
January 9th, the third round of the FA Cup.
Yesterday's message had not been updated today. In last night's game, Liverpool was unlucky and drew Manchester United directly in the draw. The two strong teams met prematurely, and Liverpool was playing in an away game.
Last night, Comain did not let Qin Xiong play with the team, even though Qin Xiong was still in Liverpool.
Liverpool sent the second team to challenge Manchester United. Ferguson did not take such a game lightly and played his main force.
In the end, Manchester United defeated Liverpool 3: 1 at home and won the game.
Liverpool was eliminated in the first game of the FA Cup for the second year in a row!
This morning, the major newspapers on Fleet Street regarded such a record as a disgrace!
Although such a result could not be used to deny Comain, it was obviously able to disgust Comain and let those who did not like Liverpool secretly revel in their success.
In the message below the FA Cup, it was the night of January 10th, the team would go to Zurich.
January 11th, China VS Bahrain!
There were also three striking Chinese characters: Ballon d 'Or!
Although Qin Xiong would go to Qatar to participate in the Asian Cup, he would not play in the first game. In terms of schedule, he had the Ballon d 'Or award ceremony itinerary.
Some people would use such a thing to make trouble out of nothing and think that Qin Xiong ignored the national interest in order to receive personal glory.
In fact, after Gao Hongbo took over the China national team last summer, he had a private communication with Qin Xiong during the 2011 AFC Asian Cup in January.
The AFC Asian Cup was mainly for training. It was better to be able to take into account the glory. Qin Xiong's main focus was still on the European club competitions. Therefore, when the AFC Asian Cup recruited Qin Xiong, he would sit on the substitutes' bench before facing opponents who were not hot favorites for the championship, or before key competitions such as the knockout stage.
This was Gao Hongbo's idea. He hoped that when the China team was being replaced, the new main force of the national team could try to experience the pressure of the game and try to be independent instead of pinning all their hopes on Qin Xiong, which would not do any good for the future.
Therefore, Qin Xiong's next stop was Zurich before he went to Qatar.
On the upper right half of the electronic screen was the English Premier League's scoreboard and the comprehensive scoreboard compiled simultaneously by the top European leagues.
On the Premier League table.
Liverpool 56 points.
Manchester United 44 points.
Manchester City 43 points.
Arsenal 42 points.
Chelsea 38 points.
Liverpool's lead over the second-placed team had expanded to 12 points!
During Qin Xiong's short absence, he had led Liverpool to accumulate enough advantages to completely relieve him of his worries.
However, the Red Army fans were still reluctant to let him go. In the last league game, there were fans who put up slogans hoping that Qin Xiong would return as soon as possible.
In the top European league scoreboard, Qin Xiong topped the list with 24 goals, followed by Ronaldo with 19 goals.
La Liga had a winter break. It could be said that the Red Army had played at least four more league games than Real Madrid. In other words, Qin Xiong and Ronaldo's chances in the second half of the season were almost the same.
There was another schedule below.
February 16, AC Milan VS Liverpool.
March 10, Liverpool VS AC Milan.
That was Liverpool's schedule for the Champions League.
On the one hand, the information on the big electronic screen reminded Qin Xiong of what he had to do in the short term in the future. On the other hand, it gave Qin Xiong motivation.
Ronaldo's name, and Messi's name behind it, would give Qin Xiong pressure. When he saw AC Milan's name, Qin Xiong would also get excited. A European game against a veteran powerhouse team was always something to look forward to.
After submerging in the pool, Qin Xiong stood on a sports bike at the bottom of the water. This was specially designed for him by his team. Exercising in the pool could better help him maintain his physical functions and avoid injuries.
Qin Xiong did not like to listen to music during exercise. He preferred silence. If he entered a regular exercise, he would think.
His eyes suddenly became sharp and spirited. Qin Xiong repeatedly thought of a word.
Ballon d 'Or!
Ballon d 'Or!
Since winning fourth place in the Ballon d 'Or in 2005, Qin Xiong had never fallen out of the top three in the Ballon d' Or selection.
He won the Ballon d 'Or for the first time after transferring to Real Madrid in 2006.
In 2007, he lost to the unbeatable Kaka. Ou Guanzhong's elimination by AC Milan was an important factor that directly affected his defense of the Ballon d 'Or.
In 2008, he led Real Madrid to an epic level of glory and once again won the Ballon d 'Or with an indisputable strong stance.
In 2009, he lost to Messi, who led Barcelona to replicate Real Madrid's glory and won six titles.
In the past four years, Qin Xiong won the Ballon d 'Or twice and was ranked second twice.
This year, he would attend the Ballon d 'Or award ceremony again. He was determined to win the Ballon d' Or!
In addition to the influence of the World Cup, he had defeated his competitors for the Ballon d 'Or in club competitions!
Messi, Snede, and Qin Xiong were the three finalists for this year's Ballon d 'Or.
.....
In the evening, Qin Xiong took his suitcase. After saying goodbye to Sylvia and Qin Ye, he boarded the plane to Zurich with Freddy and his private team.
Because he would rush to Qatar after attending the Ballon d 'Or award ceremony, he did not let Sylvia go with him this time.
After arriving in Zurich, Qin Xiong and his party went to the hotel they had booked.
Before going back to the room to rest, Freddy patted Qin Xiong on the shoulder and smiled at him. "Have a good rest tonight. Dress up tomorrow and then go to receive your third Ballon d 'Or!"
Qin Xiong smiled and said goodnight to him.
Freddy had racked his brains to build momentum for Qin Xiong's Ballon d 'Or. In addition to the club's public relations and diplomacy, Freddy himself said in a tough tone in an interview with The Times, "Qin Xiong's performance in 2010 was extraordinary. No one could surpass it. Even people who don't like Qin Xiong have to admit that he deserves the Ballon d' Or!
Isn't that right?
Don't tell me that the team he represented only made it to the quarterfinals in the World Cup.
We should think about it. How many players in the history of the World Cup can win the best scorer twice in a row? And it was a team that represented China that was ranked outside the top 30 in the world!
The World Cup champion was Spain. There was nothing to discuss about this.
But no one stipulated that the Ballon d 'Or winner had to be a player in the World Cup champion squad.
Spain was an extraordinary team. They had a group of the world's best star players. It was a group of star players that made a champion team!
Which player in Spain could exchange roles with Qin Xiong and lead the China team to the quarterfinals of the World Cup? Who could be more outstanding than Qin Xiong's performance?
No one!
We want to choose the best player of the past year, not the best player of the World Cup. That has already been chosen.
Therefore, in the first Ballon d 'Or d' Or held by FIFA, except for Qin Xiong winning, any other results would be unfair. If Qin Xiong did not win, then there would be no need to hold the Ballon d 'Or d' Or!
