The second one was even worse.
-----
Qin Xiong did not read The Sun, which was basically full of exaggerated hype and beautiful women in bikinis.
Therefore, he did not know that he and Fàbregas were rumored to be a gay couple when they refused to hit on each other in the nightclub.
Qin Xiong did not take it to heart when some of his teammates looked at him strangely during team training until Robin van Persie asked bluntly, "Are you really gay? When did you come out? "
Qin Xiong was baffled.
Van Persie said confidently, "You were like this when you were in the Netherlands. You rejected a lot of beautiful women in nightclubs. If you're not gay, then what are you?"
The Dutch newspapers also reported on the nightlife of the Ajax players.
Qin Xiong was too lazy to pay attention to such boring questions.
Fàbregas righteously assured his teammates that his sexual orientation was very normal. As for Qin Xiong, he, he could not guarantee …
In order to prove himself, Fàbregas spent the next few days with his little girlfriend, Carla. Perhaps Carla took the initiative to stand up for Fàbregas.
Qin Xiong got his driver's license, and then Freddy got him a car.
Qin Xiong only learned how to drive. As for the car's performance, brand and other professional knowledge, he did not have the time to learn, so whether he liked a car or not depended on its appearance. Moreover, he did not pursue perfection. To put it bluntly, it was just a means of transportation.
When Freddy asked him to go to Brooklyn to pick up the car, he was confused.
When he arrived at the designated location, he found out that it was at Bentley's headquarters. After a simple car pickup ceremony, he got a Bentley Continental GT 6.0 silver-gray sports car for free.
Just like how football stars usually drove, it was also considered as advertising for the car brand, so many car manufacturers were willing to give free cars to football stars.
For a football star like Qin Xiong, who had great influence in Asia and attracted widespread attention in Europe, Bentley was happy to use "Qin Xiong's first car is a Bentley" as a gimmick to promote.
Qin Xiong felt comfortable driving and was satisfied. He didn't care too much about other things. Even if he didn't know much about cars, it didn't prevent him from cherishing his own car.
Almost every time he drove back to the apartment and parked the car in the garage, Qin Xiong would check the exterior of the car and then do a simple cleaning by himself.
This was his habit. No matter how expensive something was, as long as it was his, he would cherish it. Just like his clothes in the past, as long as they were of a suitable size and were not awkward to wear, he would not throw them away. He would just choose to wear them according to the occasion. Sometimes, when he had to wake up early in the morning to go jogging, he would dress plainly to make himself look inconspicuous and avoid being followed by the paparazzi.
Qin Xiong did not participate in the FIFA match in November. In October, he led the China team to defeat Kuwait in the fifth round of the world's qualifiers and advanced in advance. The next time he returned to Congress was to participate in the top eight of the world's qualifiers in Asia.
Fortunately, he advanced in October. Otherwise, the FIFA match in November would have messed up his schedule.
Because the FIFA match in November was sandwiched in the middle of the week, that meant that the two weekend league match days did not change. The players had to report to the national team after playing the league match on the weekend. After playing the national team match, they immediately returned to the club to participate in the new weekend league match. The European players might be fine, but for an Asian player like him, just the round trip alone would exhaust him.
The preparation for the game against West Bromwich Albion on the weekend was rushed and time was tight. Many players had just returned from the national team. Although Qin Xiong was not exhausted by the national team, Wenger still did not intend to let him play in the home game against West Bromwich Albion on the weekend.
Because Wenger clearly told him that he would need him to play in the Champions League game in the middle of next week and the game against Anfield the next weekend!
At 19 years old, he could withstand two games in four days, but if it was three games in eight days, and there was a Champions League game in between, Wenger thought it was not safe!
Especially this month, if the players' physical fitness was not distributed well, then there might be big trouble in the devil's game schedule next month!
Many of his teammates left early after the training. Many of them ran between the club and the national team, and it was really exhausting. Qin Xiong did extra training after the training.
Fàbregas did not participate in the Spain national team game, so his physical fitness was not a problem. When he saw Qin Xiong doing extra training, he curiously came over.
Seeing that Qin Xiong was constantly trying to kick half-high curveballs, and that he was obviously controlling his strength so that the speed of the ball was not fast and dissatisfied, he was puzzled and asked, "What are you practicing?"
Qin Xiong picked up the ball bag on the ground, and Fàbregas helped him to pick up the ball. Qin Xiong walked to the football scattered near the goal and said, "I recently had an idea to try to get used to a forward curveball half-high pass."
Fàbregas picked up a ball from the ground and threw it to Qin Xiong. Qin Xiong threw the ball into the goal bag. Fàbregas asked, "What's the use of that?"
Qin Xiong said, "I'll show you later."
After picking up the scattered ball back into the bag, Qin Xiong came to a place 40 yards away from the goal. Then he put the football on the ground from the bag and pointed to the penalty spot in the penalty area. "If I want to pass the ball to a certain position like the penalty spot, 99% of people will pass it like this."
Qin Xiong used the arch of his foot to push the football out. The football rolled to the penalty spot in a straight line and accurately ran over the penalty spot.
Fàbregas nodded and felt that it was the most normal thing to do.
Qin Xiong put down another football and said, "But what if I pass the ball like this?"
He kicked out a curveball from where he was. The football, which was less than half a meter off the ground, drew a slightly obvious arc. After the outside rotation, the ball bounced and rubbed against the ground. The football bounced a second time and swept over the top of the penalty spot.
Fàbregas was deep in thought.
It was clear at a glance that the former's passing route was a straight line, while the latter's passing route was an arc. Both were aimed at passing to the penalty spot. But the process, or the effect of using it in actual combat, might be very different!
Fàbregas nodded and said, "I understand! But it also has high requirements for the teammates who run the positions! "
Qin Xiong had strengthened his training on the forward curveball pass. The purpose was to make the pass more confusing and stealthy!
The confusion interfered with the defender's first reaction and prediction. That was to say, the moment the football left his feet and was passed out, the direction of the flight of the football could cause the defender facing the front to make a judgment error before he could accurately determine the arc of the football's rotation!
The stealthiness was that this kind of ball was definitely the most threatening when it was passed to the back, and the ball behind required the opponent to judge the football's route. It was conceivable that when faced with this kind of half-high curveball, the defender's attention would first be on the left or right side of the body. But when the football flew to the end or bounced to the ground and caused further rotation due to friction, as long as it bypassed the defender, the football would eventually go around to the other side of his body!
It was conceivable that the time it took for the defender to turn around, a 60-degree or 90-degree turn and a 150-degree or 180-degree turn, and the impact on the body's center of gravity and movement to initiate the explosion were definitely different.
In the game, not to mention one second, even 0.5 seconds could be considered a critical time!
Fàbregas asked with great interest, "Why did you suddenly think of strengthening this kind of pass? The footwork is actually not difficult. The difficult part is the cooperation. The teammates have to be able to keep up. "
Qin Xiong nodded and said, "So I think this kind of pass is suitable for the situation where the teammates run first and then pass the ball. As for why, it's because of Thierry. "
Henry?
Fàbregas thought for a moment and felt relieved.
Henry was a striker who had a wide range of running positions in a mobile game and was very enthusiastic about running positions. It could be said that in today's world of football, Henry was definitely one of the top three players in the world who could link up with his teammates in a mobile game and continue to form the ultimate threat in the penalty area. If one were to look at his individual season performance, he would be the world's number one striker in some seasons.
In addition, Arsenal itself mainly played with the ground pass and cut style of play. After Qin Xiong had thoroughly integrated into Arsenal, he began to further examine how he could make a greater contribution to the team and stimulate the team's strength.
In the past at Ajax, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henry were strikers with completely different styles, so Qin Xiong did not think too much when he delivered the last pass. As Fàbregas said, if you wanted to pass that way, whether your teammates could understand and whether their running ability could keep up was the core factor that affected whether or not they could realize the idea.
Qin Xiong was not worried about this point. Henry's erratic running position, the explosive power and speed of anti-offside were all the main factors that he wanted to strengthen this aspect of the pass.
It could be said that this kind of pass was prepared for Henry. If it were another striker, he could not find a second striker in the team who was suitable for this kind of passing and running combination.
