After Hao Haidong scored the goal, he ran to the corner flag area to celebrate. The oldest veteran in the team did not celebrate wildly. After greeting the fans in the stands, he turned around and pointed to Qin Xiong, who was running towards him.
Perhaps he intended to give Qin Xiong a hug and encourage the younger generation with his seniority as a veteran.
But Qin Xiong jogged up and pushed him hard in the chest, showing a provocative posture and a wild smile.
Please, there is no need to take advantage of your seniority on the field, and there is no need for anyone to guide anyone.
Qin Xiong's action stunned Hao Haidong for a moment. He felt Qin Xiong's young and unrestrained vitality, and also felt the undisguised dominance in his smile.
He turned around again and faced the stands. He let out a roar and brandished his fists.
The field was not a meeting room. When it was time to be passionate and unrestrained, all emotions should be released!
The red flags in the stands fluttered, and the China fans cheered.
In front of the ecstatic fans, Qin Xiong put his arm around Hao Haidong's shoulder from behind and whispered in his ear, "Uncle, you are not old yet. Don't look like you are going to a funeral. Congratulations on your goal. "
For a moment, Hao Haidong wanted to beat Qin Xiong up.
He just seemed to be more restrained as a veteran. He was too serious, not heavy!
But when he saw Qin Xiong's smile and bright eyes, Hao Haidong curled his lips and gave Qin Xiong a push. He shouted at him, "Am I old?"
"Hahaha, that's the spirit. Let's go, the game has just begun."
Qin Xiong turned around and jogged to the backfield. Hao Haidong, Li Jinyu, Zhang Pengfei, and Sun Jihai followed closely behind …
The Malaysian players were in a trance. They lost the goal at the beginning of the game, and it was in an away game. In the face of tens of thousands of China fans' fanatical cheers, their pressure suddenly doubled.
Watching the young man wearing China's number 10 jersey run to the backfield with his teammates, they couldn't help but feel shocked.
They had heard that this prodigy of China had just won the club's highest honor in Europe. Even if he was spurned by many fans of the big clubs as the lowest-quality Champions League champion in history, it was undeniable that if it were any other Malaysian player, it would be a fool's dream to get a Champions League champion on the bench!
As the team captain, Qin Xiong was very active and selfless in the competition.
He would always pass the ball to his teammates who had the ball in a relaxed environment.
Even if he didn't attack, he still had to pass the ball.
This was a two-way interaction.
It was conceivable that the more teammates who could get the ball at their feet touched the ball, the better it would help them relieve the pressure and play better.
Most importantly, Qin Xiong would not pass the ball to them. He would always let them stop the ball, pass it, or dribble the ball themselves.
Qin Xiong had a tacit understanding with Zhang Pengfei on the right flank, but he lacked a tacit understanding with Sun Jihai, who was the left midfielder.
Especially when Sun Jihai frequently raised his leg to pass the ball from the flank.
In the eighth minute of the game, Sun Jihai's third pass from the flank was not good. Hao Haidong and Li Jinyu could not receive the ball.
Qin Xiong walked to Sun Jihai's side and said in a deep voice, "There is a rule in football. If the quality of your pass is not high, don't pass it! Even if you pass the ball back, lose an opportunity to attack, and start again, it is better than an inefficient pass! "
Sun Jihai's expression seemed a little uncomfortable.
He was probably being tactfully criticized by a player younger than him. Of course, he was not convinced.
In fact, he was disliked by Qin Xiong, and the reason was more obvious. It was not that Sun Jihai's ability was poor. He was an iconic figure among the players who went abroad, other than Qin Xiong. The training in the English Premier League made him one of the top players in Asia.
Therefore, he was very obedient when he played abroad in the English Premier League. Of course, it was the most basic common sense to be a wanderer in a foreign land. But when he returned to China, he appeared to be very "opinionated." This opinionated view sometimes formed a tit-for-tat contradiction with the manager.
When Sun Jihai once again made an inefficient pass in the 12th minute of the game.
Qin Xiong stood in front of the penalty area and smiled silently. But when his smile faded, his face became a little gloomy.
After the first goal, he spent a long time in the midfield area to observe the Malaysian offensive threat points.
He understood Liu Yi's defensive characteristics. He had strong explosive power, strong resistance, and slow speed, so his coverage was relatively narrow. He could not leave his post casually.
Explosive power and speed were not necessarily proportional. Many of the top strikers had strong explosive power, but their speed was not necessarily outstanding. For example, Klose's explosive power at a distance of 30 meters was top-notch, but his speed at a distance of 100 meters was probably not in the top 100 strikers.
It was the same for defensive midfielders. Many defensive midfielders relied on explosive power as the basis of intercepting speed. If they made a mistake in their explosive power at the crucial moment, it was basically declared a failure in intercepting. It was impossible to turn back and catch up with the attacking player, even if the opponent ran slower with the ball than without the ball.
Qin Xiong restrained his offensive aggressiveness in order to determine whether Liu Yi, as a defensive midfielder, could withstand the Malaysian offensive.
Malaysia did not have many advanced skills and tactics, especially in the midfield confrontation, which made them play to their quick and agile characteristics.
However, in the final attack, they seemed to be more inclined to the traditional side of the ball. In response to the cross, the center back combination of Li Weifeng and Zheng Zhi still had the advantage. Both of them were more than 1.8 meters tall. Li Weifeng's air defense ability was also top-notch in Asia. In addition, Liu Yi's retreat to ensure that the ball was not lost in confusion in the penalty area. China's defense of Malaysia's offense was very stable and there were no dangerous situations.
Qin Xiong observed the characteristics of his teammates in the actual game. In addition to not playing on the left side, he found that he was limited in other aspects besides the need to slow down the pace of the game.
China's two strikers, Hao Haidong and Li Jinyu, were good at seizing opportunities in front of the goal. They were more inclined to shoot. Neither of them was the traditional pivot center forward.
This made Qin Xiong unable to get the ball back to support even if he plugged in from the back. In short, China's strikers were more inclined to look forward and rarely looked at the back.
Qin Xiong found the problem but did not complain.
Mentally, he was at ease.
In the 18th minute of the game, Qin Xiong dribbled the ball at a slow speed in the front field. The Malaysian players came up one after another to fight for the ball. Qin Xiong changed the ball horizontally with a change of pace and continued to control the ball. When the opponent's defensive midfielder also rushed up, Qin Xiong again dribbled the ball horizontally to change direction. When the opponent tried to continue to entangle, Qin Xiong suddenly sent a straight ball. The football rolled through the space between the Malaysian left center back and left back. Zhang Pengfei cut from the outside to the inside line and received the pass in the penalty area. Then he kept passing the ball to the middle. Li Jinyu rushed ahead and shot the ball into the net!
"The ball is in again! China got off to a fantastic start. Zhang Pengfei assisted Li Jinyu to score the second goal for China, but at least half of the credit for this goal goes to Qin Xiong. He used his excellent ball control skills in the midfield to get rid of two opposing defenders and sent an exquisite straight ball. Many fans know that Qin Xiong and Zhang Pengfei have been good friends since they were young. Their tacit understanding when playing together is amazing. This is a simple pass and run cooperation, but it relies on the tacit understanding between the two young players! "
When Li Jinyu and his teammates went to celebrate, Qin Xiong did not participate. He waved to Zhang Pengfei. Zhang Pengfei walked up to him with a face full of joy. He thought he was going to celebrate, but when he saw Qin Xiong's serious expression, he immediately became very serious.
Qin Xiong put his arms around his neck and said something in his ear. Zhang Pengfei kept nodding.
The Malaysian team did not know how to face the match.
It was difficult for their offense to shake China's defensive line, but they could not defend against China's midfield core!
It could be said that Malaysia's tight defensive system and organizational efficiency were terrible. They were Asia's third-rate team, not to mention the level of the world team.
It was very difficult to contain Qin Xiong.
And Qin Xiong was showing even more of a threat.
In the 30th minute of the game, Qin Xiong dribbled the ball along the flank to the front field. Zhang Pengfei suddenly cut across the middle. Qin Xiong passed the ball across. Qin Xiong cut inside the penalty area, and Zhang Pengfei passed the ball straight.
Once again, it was a simple but efficient two-one pass. Qin Xiong passed the ball at the end line. He deftly kicked the ball up and the football flew to the back of the goal. Hao Haidong stuck close to the goal post and headed the ball into the goal.
China easily took a 3: 0 lead!
Hao Haidong seemed to have a second spring. He smiled like he was 18 years old.
