Ever since he started his football career, Qin Xiong himself had noticed a huge change in his social personality.
Especially after he established a relationship with Sylvia, it made him more confident. Subconsciously, his attitude towards the outside world changed from "well water does not interfere with river water" to "if people offend me, I will definitely offend them!"
He realized that he had to defend his everything, protect himself and the people around him, and not allow the outside world to offend him!
Even the Korean media's lineup was far from Fleet Street. He dealt with it calmly, it was simply arrogant!
Especially his unscrupulous smile, which made the Korean media's reporters furious!
The 2002 World Cup match between Italy and South Korea was rated as the first of the top ten dirty whistle matches!
There was no doubt that it was a scar that the Korean media was unwilling to open. When they tried to disturb Qin Xiong, Qin Xiong's counterattack made them angry out of embarrassment.
When the reporters began to denounce Qin Xiong, Qin Xiong suddenly stood up under everyone's surprised gaze and gestured to the Korean reporters below the stage. His right index finger was raised in front of his mouth. The press conference venue suddenly fell silent again. The Korean reporters' expressions were very colorful, stunned, incredulous, angry, tongue-tied …
Qin Xiong left.
When he returned to the hotel, many Chinese media reporters surrounded him and scrambled to ask Qin Xiong why he did that at the press conference.
Qin Xiong only said one sentence after he walked into the elevator.
"When the other party does not respect you, you don't have to respect them."
The Korean media used the incident in the Premier League as a pretext to make a fuss. It was disrespectful in itself because they were not judges. They were not qualified to criticize Qin Xiong and judge whether he was right or wrong.
Therefore, Qin Xiong was too lazy to say anything to them.
Moreover, he was clear about one thing in his heart. He would not deliberately please the fan groups outside of China, especially the fans in Asia.
Korea had its own football stars. Coupled with the national cohesion, it was almost impossible for Qin Xiong to become a big name in the Korean football market.
Besides, Qin Xiong didn't want to do things that he didn't like or made him feel uncomfortable.
Moreover, as the captain of the China national team, what he learned from Vieira was that a strong captain could bring peace to his teammates.
Just like at Arsenal, Vieira was the one who did most of the explosive confrontations, attracting attention, and attracting the opponent's anger. The advantage of his approach was that players like Qin Xiong and Henry, who were good at breaking through enemy lines, could focus on the game.
Qin Xiong applied what he had learned. He was the captain, and he was also the biggest player in Asia right now. Therefore, he would add fuel to the fire and make himself a thorn in the eyes of his opponents.
.....
The Korean media denounced Qin Xiong the next day. They defined Qin Xiong as an Asian who had committed heinous crimes in the Premier League and had lost the face of Asians. They also pointed out that Qin Xiong should learn from Park Ji-sung and show the Korean's positive image of humility, virtue, and fighting spirit to the European football world.
China's media directly demonized the Korean media when they reported in China, criticizing the Korean media for being unprofessional. "Did you not take your medicine when you reported on the Premier League before the national team game?"
On the night of February 9.
Seoul World Cup Stadium.
China and Korea began the first round of the World Cup Asia qualifiers for the top eight.
China also sent a football commentator to the scene to commentate on the live broadcast.
"The Chinese team is on the field. In the AFC Asian Cup, we did not fight against the Korean team. Even though the Korean team did not make it to the finals of the AFC Asian Cup, we cannot ignore the strength of the Korean team. Many of their players are playing in Europe, and many of them were the main force of the 2002 World Cup. This is a test for the Chinese team. The best thing for the Chinese team is that the captain, Qin Xiong, has recovered from his injury. He dragged his injured left leg to Korea, and his fighting spirit and fighting spirit are unquestionable!
Today, China's starting lineup was 4231. Ali Khan's fear of the Korean team was already reflected in the lineup.
Goalkeeper: Liu Yunfei.
Defenders: Sun Jihai, Zheng Zhi, Li Weifeng, Sun Xiang.
Midfielders: Zhang Pengfei, Zhao Junzhe, Qin Xiong, Liu Yi, Shao Jiayi.
Striker: Li Jinyu.
The Korean team's starting lineup was 433. They definitely wanted to get three points at home and were very aggressive in their lineup.
Goalkeeper: Lee Yun Jae.
Defenders: Zhao Yuanxi, Song Zhongguo, Choi Jenzhe, Lee Rongpyo.
Midfielders: Li Yirong, Kim Nanyi, Park Ji-sung.
Strikers: Ahn Zhenghwan, Park Chu-Yong, Lee Tianxiu. "
At the home of the Korean team, their cheers were extremely shocking. The stands were uniformly red, and the cheers of the "Republic of Korea" resounded through the sky.
China's formation was very conservative at the beginning of the game. As the captain, Qin Xiong told his teammates before the game: Mentality is the first, stay calm. Secondly, be patient and calm, and play defense!
In the national team's stadium, any individual pursuit and idea had to be ranked behind the team's glory.
In other words, the national team must put results first, and not be indifferent to success and failure to pursue themselves.
If Qin Xiong was in the club, he would be more inclined to the compatibility between his personal style and the team's style. But in the national team, he did not think about these issues at all. The reason was simple: You can't afford to pursue!
After the success of the AFC Asian Cup, the China team's self-confidence and mentality had been well honed. Especially when the team was in an unprecedented state of unity, their cohesion was extraordinary. With an unparalleled and imposing captain, he relieved the pressure for them. At the same time, his teammates trusted and relied on him. They were calmer than ever and listened to the captain's requests.
The Korean team showed an explosive momentum at the beginning of the game. The midfield core, Park Ji-sung, was very eye-catching. He provided ammunition for the frontline. The Korean team's strong individual ability was shown in the process of organizing and pushing the offense. The China team relied on more players to compress the space to restrict the Korean team's threatening offense.
In the fifth minute, Park Ji-sung sent a straight pass to the center forward, Park Chou-yong. Park Chou-yong was facing Zheng Zhi confidently. He wanted to control the ball and get rid of Zheng Zhi. But when he turned around, he suddenly saw Liu Yi returning from the defensive midfielder position. His rhythm suddenly became messy, and the ball was directly destroyed by Zheng Zhi.
Park Chou-yong lowered his eyes. After his rapid breathing calmed down, he took the initiative to look at the tall and burly Liu Yi, and then glanced at Qin Xiong, who only looked at his back.
Zheng Zhi felt strange. Three minutes later, Park Chou-yong retreated to support, but was directly crushed by Qin Xiong in a physical confrontation. Zheng Zhi simply wanted to ask Qin Xiong and Liu Yi: Why is this Korean center forward like a kitten in front of you two?
Yes, it seemed that Qin Xiong intercepted Park Chou-yong's ball too easily. As soon as their bodies touched, Park Chou-yong panicked and then lost the ball.
