Xianghe National Football Training Base.
Qin Xiong, Liu Yi, and Zhang Pengfei arrived by car and went straight to the locker room.
Qin Xiong observed the vast training base. According to Liu Yi's introduction, it was a service center with training, accommodation, and physiotherapy. The team could prepare for the game in a closed environment without outside interference.
Along the way, some people stopped and looked at Qin Xiong when they saw him. They seemed to be very curious about him.
There were also some staff members who looked at Qin Xiong with a touch of respect.
Qin Xiong went straight to the locker room. There were already many members of the national team in the locker room. They were preparing for today's training. Liu Yi and Zhang Pengfei knew them, but they were not particularly familiar with each other. After all, they were playing in Europe in the middle of the season. Qin Xiong's appearance seemed to freeze the air in the locker room. Many people stopped what they were doing and stared at him.
Qin Xiong calmly said to the crowd, "I'm Qin Xiong. Good morning."
After he finished speaking, several teammates nodded at him, while some people were still staring at him. Qin Xiong ignored the gazes of others and began to change his jersey in the locker room.
Although he did not appear here before.
The national team had prepared everything for him in the summer's preparation.
There was his jersey in the locker room.
The number 10 jersey with his name printed on it.
Qin Xiong took off his casual clothes, put on a training shirt, and then quickly left the locker room.
He did not like to chat in the locker room, no matter how lively it was. He did not like it and felt that it was meaningless.
He came to the training ground with Liu Yi and Zhang Pengfei. He first jogged to warm up, and then began to do a set of stretching and muscle relaxation movements. Liu Yi and Zhang Pengfei were curious. After asking, they learned that Qin Xiong had learned it at Ajax. Before the high-intensity training began, Ajax's coaching staff would ensure that the players were fully warmed up and stretched every muscle in the body to avoid training injuries to the maximum extent.
More and more players came to the training ground. They would spend a long time watching Qin Xiong, but no one came up to talk to him and participate in the warm-up training of Qin Xiong's trio. Qin Xiong's trio was like a small closed circle.
9: 40 in the morning.
Alihan came to the training ground with the coaching staff. He gathered the players.
Qin Xiong stood at the edge of the first row. When Alihan saw Qin Xiong, he smiled and nodded to greet him.
In front of all the national team members, Alihan called Qin Xiong out and then handed him the captain's armband. He officially announced to the national team that Qin Xiong would be the captain.
Regardless of whether these teammates were sincere or not, everyone was applauding. They were not fanatical. They were all big men and did not have so many emotional outbursts.
Whether Qin Xiong could be a good captain, or to put it simply, whether he could lead the national team to success, time would tell.
Qin Xiong held the captain's armband in his right hand and glanced at his teammates. He did not make any announcement. He walked slowly back to his position with his head held high and his eyes sharp.
National team training officially began!
Attached is the 2004 national team roster (no major changes in the short term)

.....
The pace and intensity of the national team's training did not bring any pressure to Qin Xiong.
The young man who had just been announced as the captain of the national team was training in a state of dragging down his teammates.
When others were obviously tired, he did not seem to be tired at all. The pace of training was always the same.
Qin Xiong was extremely eye-catching during training. He completed the tasks assigned by the coaching team and the quality of his completion was absolutely outstanding.
Perhaps some of his teammates would think that he was deliberately trying to attract attention. After all, he was the number one rising star in Asia.
But if they knew that in Ajax, Qin Xiong could make the group of European geniuses look at him differently and catch up with Qin Xiong during training, then they would think how ridiculous this idea was.
Training would not prove anything. Training was only determined by two factors.
The first was the body, and the second was the attitude.
Qin Xiong, the captain of the team who was slightly silent, showed an aggressiveness that his teammates could not adapt to in the training match before the end of the afternoon training.
After cooperating with Zhang Pengfei in the front field, he charged into the penalty area. Facing the goalkeeper, Angie, who had already blocked the angle, Qin Xiong chose to force a shot when there was no teammate to support him.
Bang!
His powerful shot hit Angie's chest at close range. Angie instantly fell to the ground, clutching his chest as if he was seriously injured.
After the shot, Qin Xiong went up to Angie and asked about his condition. After receiving the other party's personal answer that it was painful and he would be fine after some rest, he straightened up and walked to the backfield with a calm expression.
Many of his teammates were dumbfounded.
It seemed that there was no chance, but Qin Xiong still forced a shot.
It was just a training match, but he seemed to have used all his strength to shoot.
Wasn't it too late to pay attention to Angie after the shot?
If he was worried about him getting hurt, why did he shoot so hard?
On this point, Qin Xiong did not think there was any need to explain to his teammates.
In Ajax, even if they knew that it was impossible to shoot into the goal, all the players would regard it as an opportunity to shoot in an official game. As for whether to shoot at an angle or a burst shot, it was up to them to decide.
Lobonte was better. Stekelenberg's experience in choosing his position in front of the goal still needed to be improved, so in the training match, Stekelenberg was the goalkeeper who was shot the most, but he never complained.
Qin Xiong seemed to exude indifference on the field, fighting without any scruples about the safety of his teammates.
Before the end of the training match, Qin Xiong and Zhou Haibin competed for a chance in the midfield. When Zhou Haibin stood in position one step ahead of him, Qin Xiong rushed up to engage in a physical confrontation with the other side and secretly used his strength to directly knock Zhou Haibin away. To Qin Xiong's surprise, Zhou Haibin also fell to the ground.
After he took control of the football, he immediately turned to spur the attack and had no interest in looking back to see what was going on with Zhou Haibin.
This made his teammates feel that Qin Xiong had gone too far in the training and ignored the safety of his teammates.
At the end of the training, Qin Xiong walked up to Zhou Haibin, who was less than a month younger than him. Facing the youngest national footballer in China's football history, Qin Xiong calmly asked, "Why did you retreat in the last fight?"
If Zhou Haibin had not held back, Qin Xiong would not have knocked him to the ground. Simply put, Zhou Haibin was terrified!
Zhou Haibin looked unnatural and said, "It's just training. We're all teammates. Let go to avoid injury. We still have a game in a few days."
Qin Xiong lowered his head when he heard that and could not help but reveal a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth.
When he raised his head again, his eyes became extremely cold and oppressive. He stared at Zhou Haibin and said in a deep voice, "Let go? Why do you want to let go? Injury? You play in the midfield, and I also play in the midfield. If you let me get injured in a reasonable fight, you'll play in the game. Won't you have more chances to play? "
Zhou Haibin was dumbfounded.
He did not expect the captain to say such a thing and asked in return, "Won't that easily cause conflict? Everyone knows each other and plays for the country. It's not good to have a conflict, right? "
Qin Xiong asked him patiently, "Who do you think I have the best relationship with here?"
Zhou Haibin pointed to Liu Yi and Zhang Pengfei. Qin Xiong nodded, then raised his right hand, put up two fingers and said, "Liu Yi put me to the ground twice when he defended against me. Zhang Pengfei also did it twice, but the former was reasonable and the latter was rough. Zhang Pengfei reached out and pulled my jersey to make me lose my center of gravity. There was also one time when he used a wrestling move."
After that, Qin Xiong turned and left, leaving behind a thoughtful Zhou Haibin.
Perhaps most of the teammates had such doubts. Was Qin Xiong's attitude in training too unreasonable?
But Qin Xiong noticed that players like Sun Jihai, Hao Haidong, Li Jinyu and the other players had normal expressions and felt that it was natural.
Perhaps they had been to Europe and really experienced how European football treated training, so they understood that Qin Xiong's performance in training was actually the most normal.
If you were a sheep in training, how could you guarantee that you would be a lion in the game?
