Qin Xiong did not suffer too much of a mental blow after his injury. The injury was only a small setback. He had a good mentality and strong will to overcome it.
He followed the team's coach and doctor's plan and carried out the treatment step by step. If he did not sleep when it was time to rest, he would stay at home and watch the videos of his matches over the past few months.
He was analyzing and summarizing to see if his mistakes in the matches could be better performed, or if there were better choices to complete the organization's work.
On the fifth day after the injury, he began training. But he tried not to move the injured part, so he strengthened the strength of his upper limbs as much as possible.
He was stronger than half a year ago. His muscles had obviously increased in size. Once he exerted force, the muscle texture was particularly obvious.
Freddy came to visit him every day. When he saw Qin Xiong's enthusiasm and focus on his football career, he always hid in the dark and praised him.
"How can a person like him, who has both talent and perseverance, not succeed?"
Qin Xiong was not blinded by the external bragging brought about by his personal glory, nor was he blinded by wealth. He was still moving towards his initial goal: He wanted to become a world-class superstar!
Compared to Rooney, who was at the same age as him, who was still visiting prostitutes, and Cristiano Ronaldo was still a playboy, Qin Xiong spent almost all of his time outside of work on football. Training, thinking, improving his ability to read the game, summarizing, reflecting, and sublimating.
January 9th.
Qin Xiong appeared in the stands at Highbury. Arsenal sent out the substitutes for the third round of the FA Cup.
The FA Cup was the oldest cup competition. Whether in England or European football, it had a huge influence.
It could be said that the influence of the FA Cup surpassed many second-tier leagues in Europe.
Arsenal's disdain for the EFL Cup was obvious to all. They hoped to maximize their investment in the FA Cup without affecting the Premier League and the Champions League.
However, Arsenal's main lineup had been severely depleted recently, so they had to go light for the FA Cup.
Fortunately, their opponents were not strong. Although Stoke City caused trouble for Arsenal at Highbury, they were eventually defeated by Arsenal 2: 1.
Arsenal advanced to the fourth round of the FA Cup without any mishap.
Qin Xiong trained at home for a week with his injury. His recovery speed was faster than the doctors had expected. This was due to his excellent physical fitness and long-term healthy lifestyle habits. His personal team also brought Chinese medicine techniques. Combined with Western medical methods, Qin Xiong quickly recovered from his injury.
Recovery was recovery, but returning was another matter....
Qin Xiong returned to the team on the team on the 15th.......... Wenger certainly did not include Qin Xiong..... Qin Xiong to play.............. so...... com....................... by.....

. After 90 minutes of the game, Arsenal lost the Reebok Stadium...
... Although the 0: 1 score did not seem dazzling, it dealt a heavy blow to Arsenal.
Arsenal's offense had a big problem.
Even though Bergkamp and Qin Xiong were on par in terms of their comprehensive strength alone, there was not much difference on the pitch.
But in Arsenal's team, there was a clear difference.
Qin Xiong had become the main force for most of the season. He was accepted and welcomed by his teammates. In the last two months, they had been very united and had a tacit understanding.
Bergkamp, on the other hand, was a little older. His style of play and ability did not decline too much. But his tacit understanding with his teammates on the pitch had become rusty.
It seemed that the Arsenal players had been "noble" by Qin Xiong. Bergkamp's ability to grasp the rhythm was not as good as Qin Xiong's. It was this subtle difference in rhythm that made Arsenal's offense in the front field lose its fluidity.
It had to be said that Bolton Wanderers had improved significantly this season. The Bolton Wanderers built by Allardyce had matured and had considerable fighting power. They created chaos in Arsenal's defense with continuous high-altitude bombing, then broke through Arsenal's goal in one fell swoop and finally took away the victory.
To make matters worse for Arsenal, Silva was injured and had to leave the field in this fierce head-to-head contest.
Qin Xiong lowered his head on the sofa in the living room at home and covered his forehead with his right hand.
Although he did not go to the game, the team's honor belonged to everyone in the team.
Everyone shared the honor and disgrace.
Arsenal's unbeaten record was fixed at 62 games.
But it was no longer important!
What was important was that in another high-profile game, Chelsea defeated Tottenham Hotspur 2: 0 at White Hart Lane and continued their terrifying momentum.
After this round, Arsenal's five-month-long reign as the league's leading team had changed hands!
Chelsea overtook Arsenal by two points!
Mourinho said confidently and arrogantly in a post-match interview at White Hart Lane, "We will not give Arsenal any chance to overtake us! Chelsea will maintain the lead until the end of the season and bring Stamford Bridge its first top-flight championship trophy in half a century! "
Wenger said after the game that the team lost to luck. Bolton Wanderers' playing style was too rough and they stole the victory in a barbaric way. In the end, he said lightly, "There are still 15 rounds in the league. Anything can happen. We will not always keep an eye on Chelsea. If Chelsea thinks that their opponent is only Arsenal, I think that is a short-sighted performance. Who dares to say that Manchester United has no chance? What's more, they are only two points ahead of Arsenal. "
The Arsenal players fell into an emotional trough in the visitors' locker room at the Reebok Stadium.
Wenger tried his best to encourage the team, but the effect was not obvious.
It was not until the next day, when Fleet Street's grand news of Arsenal's unbeaten record ended began to bombard the nerves of the Arsenal players, that the morale of Arsenal's main players instantly rebounded!
A loss was a loss!
There was nothing to quibble about.
If Fleet Street was just adding insult to injury or praising Bolton Wanderers for completing an "impossible task," then the mentality of the Arsenal players would not have changed much.
However, Britain's largest newspaper, The Times, published such a commentary on the battle report, and it was this battle report that stimulated all of Arsenal's main players!
"Arsenal lost the first game after losing Qin Xiong! They lost to Bolton Wanderers, whom no one was optimistic about! Now all Arsenal fans should calmly accept the fact that Bergkamp's era is over, and Qin Xiong's era has officially arrived! Qin Xiong has made himself an indispensable key player in Arsenal's formation through six months of hard work! His role is no less than that of Henry, Vieira, Campbell, and even if we look back at Arsenal's strong matches this season, Qin Xiong's performance has overshadowed Henry, Vieira, Pires, and Ljungberg's limelight! At Old Trafford, at Anfield, at Highbury, against Manchester United, Liverpool, and Chelsea, we don't need to look at the game videos. We just need to look at the player ratings after the game. Qin Xiong's average score in the three games is the highest in Arsenal's team!
Half a year ago, when I was commenting on Ajax winning the Champions League, I said that this kid from China was the most important player in Ajax's championship. I made it very clear that without him, Ajax would never have won the title! At that time, some people would refute me that without Ibrahimovic, Snede, Van Der Vaart, and Ajax would also not have won the title!
These people obviously did not understand what I meant. If Ajax did not have Van Der Vaart, and had a player close to Van Der Vaart, I think Ajax could also win the title!
But Ajax could not have a player similar to Qin Xiong, because a midfielder like Qin Xiong, who used his brain to play football and had elegant technical ability, was one of a kind! They were irreplaceable!
Arsenal helped Qin Xiong to further his growth and success, and Qin Xiong also helped Arsenal to become stronger!
I can say that Qin Xiong is already stronger than the current Bergkamp. Maybe the difference is not obvious.
But the comparison of strength on the football field is often the accumulation of little changes.
Like last season's Arsenal, they only scored six more goals than Chelsea and conceded four fewer goals than Chelsea. However, Chelsea was 11 points behind Arsenal and was runner-up. Arsenal was the champion.
Many ordinary fans could not understand what the difference in strength between scoring six more goals and conceding four fewer goals meant! One is the champion, and the other is the best of the losers. "
