"If you have the ability, go and win against Korea and Japan! Who do you think you are to hit us while we are down? You're the trash! Bah! "
Li Yi, who was held down by Liu Yi, reacted very violently. He cursed Qin Xiong and then spat on Qin Xiong's face.
If Qin Xiong had not been to Europe, perhaps he would not have reacted so violently in the next second.
However, he had been to Europe and experienced the new culture. Some of those cultures were good, but of course, there were bad ones.
One of them was that professional athletes spat at each other. This behavior was the worst!
In Europe, it could be understood as worse than "greeting your mother."
In the UK, this kind of behavior on the field was even more intolerable by the people and players than breaking the opponent's leg!
Qin Xiong's pupils suddenly shrank. He turned around again with a cold face. His left hand grabbed Li Yi's hair and his right hand clenched into a fist and directly punched him in the face!
Bang! Blood splattered everywhere!
The surrounding teammates were all stunned.
After Qin Xiong finished the first punch, he continued with the second and third punch. He was still expressionless, exactly the same as the dark Qin Xiong in the Ajax youth team locker room.
Liu Yi's face did not change. He was still choking Li Yi's neck, and his other hand was holding Li Yi's arm so that he could not fight back.
It looked like Qin Xiong and Liu Yi were ruthlessly trampling on Li Yi.
After the fifth punch, Li Yi's face was covered with blood. Qin Xiong wiped his right fist on his jersey and said to him in a low voice, "Don't do that kind of thing again. It's very impolite. You should be glad that you did this to me. If it were someone else, you might become disabled. Now I answer your question. Japan, Korea? It sounds like you are very afraid of these two opponents. I don't need to promise you anything. I will only state the facts. Football is a team sport, not a single person. "
He turned his head and glanced at the nervous teammates. He said lightly, "On the field, if you are not a proud lion, then you have to be a pack of wolves. Unity and cohesion are the core of this spirit. Otherwise, you would become a flock of sheep, having your body torn apart by your opponent crazily, trampling on your will, and easily snatching victory from you. Malaysia is a flock of sheep, but in the food chain of the Grassi world, we are also a flock of sheep in the eyes of many of our opponents! Yes, I won the Champions League. I obtained a glorious achievement in the eyes of the Chinese players, but this will not make me lose my mind. I can't be the Lion King, especially not leading a flock of sheep to fight with other Lion Kings, nor can I defeat other wolves that are stronger than us. So, I want to be a wolf, the wolf of the China team! I also need companions that I can unite with. We can form a pack of wolves and participate in the battle of the food chain. I don't know how far we can go, but if we don't fight like that, what's the point of wearing this jersey? Anyway, the money I earn is almost negligible compared to the salary given by the club. I might as well quit the national team. "
After Qin Xiong finished speaking, he walked to his wardrobe and sat down. Zhang Pengfei brought over a bottle of mineral water. He took it and washed the blood on his right hand as if there was no one around.
What did this young captain do in the locker room just now?!
Many of the national team members had not recovered from their shock. They sat down silently, and the shock in their hearts did not dissipate for a long time.
Ali Khan was stunned at the door. He was stunned from the moment Qin Xiong started punching Li Yi.
The Chinese members of the coaching team immediately went to inform the team doctor and the Football Association's higher-ups. Of course, the Football Association's officials would come to watch the game today.
Li Yi was quickly helped away by the team doctor. He did not say anything else because Qin Xiong was not bluffing if he used violence.
Ali Khan did not give any lectures during halftime. The Football Association's officials directly intervened and said some words to unite the team, stabilize their mentality, and play well in the second half.
Then, they called Qin Xiong to another room, which looked like a conference room.
The Football Association was still clear-headed when it came to Qin Xiong, the rising star of the national team.
Qin Xiong was China's brand.
Sponsors would have new investments in China's national team because of Qin Xiong's appearance. China's fan market and China's national team's image needed a star like Qin Xiong to reverse the decline.
From the perspective of benefits, the other members of the national team, a thousand, ten thousand, added together, could not compare to Qin Xiong.
Therefore, the Football Association wanted to appoint Qin Xiong as the captain!
Let him be more glorious!
Let him be more dazzling in the history of China's football.
The youngest captain!
When the Football Association's official, who was unknown to Qin Xiong and had no interest in knowing what position he held, spoke to him earnestly as an elder or leader to understand the whole story of the locker room conflict, gently admonished him to prioritize unity, and also revealed that Qin Xiong should be a captain, Qin Xiong appeared to be absent-minded.
As long as it was about playing football, Qin Xiong was extremely serious.
Sun Jihai could throw a tantrum and question him. Li Yi could be sarcastic and spit. Why could he not be violent?
If the others restrained themselves, Qin Xiong would not have let things turn out this way.
Moreover, they were football players, not saints.
They had verbal conflicts with their teammates on the training ground. Sometimes, they would bump into each other and swear.
It was normal!
The team did not need to pretend to be subservient to maintain unity and peace.
When everyone could understand that this kind of conflict was common in the locker room, they would get used to it and face it with the right attitude. Then, the so-called conflict would not happen at all.
He had never thought about how to change China's football in the past, but since he was the captain of the national team, he had the obligation to remind every teammate to face the game with the attitude he thought was right.
If he was wrong, please strip him of the captain's armband.
The truth was that simple.
He would not be a decoration, a Chihuahua, or a national team captain who only talked about his club's achievements when the fans shouted.
Either he did not do it or he did it to the best of his ability. The best on the football field was the team's victory!
Perhaps some fans would expect Qin Xiong to play at the level he did in Ajax.
But Qin Xiong knew that he could almost never play at that level in the China team.
Because he had to slow down, he could not pass the threatening ball recklessly. In Ajax, the threatening ball would become a pass error 99% of the time when it reached the China team. In Ajax, it would make his teammates nervous and anxious when it reached the China team.
As a commander, he also needed the support and cooperation of his teammates.
After the Chinese Football Association leader finished his speech about how Qin Xiong did not remember a few words, the other party patted Qin Xiong on the shoulder and encouraged him to play well in the second half.
Qin Xiong walked out of the locker room and went straight to the exit of the players' tunnel to prepare for the second half.
"The second half of the game between China and Malaysia is about to start. We saw that the China players who returned to the field looked very serious. It looks like they did not let down their guard because of the huge lead. Good job! That's the kind of warrior we need! "
"Eh? Alihan made a substitution in the midfield. Sun Jihai, who had been invisible for a long time in the first half, was brought off. This is a problem for Alihan. So far, Sun Jihai, who plays for the English Premier League, has not found the most suitable position and role for him under Alihan. Now he has brought on Shao Jiayi. Hopefully, China's attack on the left flank will improve in the second half. "
Alihan sat in the technical area with a heavy heart.
He did not expect Qin Xiong to break out in such an unexpected scene in the locker room.
But after he understood the conversation between Qin Xiong and his teammates through the translator, he understood that Qin Xiong's desire for victory was too strong. After experiencing success in the European competition, the more successful a player was, the more intolerant he was of failure, and even the flaws in the team. This was very easy to understand.
High-level players liked to play with high-level players, which made them stronger and stronger.
Dedicated players would also appreciate dedicated players.
There were many choices to play for in the club, but there were not many choices for the national team.
The only thing to do was to change.
Now Alihan agreed with the China Football Association's mandatory requirement to choose Qin Xiong as the captain, although perhaps everyone's original intentions were different.
But for Alihan, who had been working to build the China team's style as a whole after taking over the China national team, it was best for Qin Xiong to be the captain of the team now!
He firmly believed that this young man could change the mentality of the China team.
He was really different from the authentic China people.
The China people paid attention to traditional humility, and humility was a virtue in life. When this kind of national character entered the world of football, was there a problem? Yes!
It was easy to muddle through with a humble mentality, not daring to fight, not daring to snatch, and not even daring to be ambitious!
Qin Xiong did not hide his ambition. He was passing on the wildness of the top of the football pyramid to the national team!
Qin Xiong glanced coldly at his teammates before watching the game in the second half. After Malaysia kicked off, he was the first to rush up to intercept. Even after leading by four goals, he still fought as hard as before.
