Arsenal finally fell in the penalty shootout, and Chelsea luckily advanced to the Champions League semi-finals with the penalty shootout. This also reflects the fact that there is almost no difference in strength between the two Premier League teams this season. No one is leading in points in the league. Arsenal is at the top of the rankings through goal difference. This is a weak advantage, just as the penalty shootout does not reflect the strength of the two teams. Mourinho's team won the Champions League. With six rounds left in the Premier League, Chelsea still has a chance to stage a reversal against Arsenal in the league!
The most important thing in front of Arsenal is not sadness, nor is it the lessons learned from the Champions League defeat. The fact is that in four days, they will go to Stamford Bridge again in the last Premier League game of this round. Once they lose this league game, Arsenal may face the painful situation of losing two fronts in five days … "
A football program on BBC Sport was playing on the television. Qin Xiong sat on the sofa in his apartment and watched TV. His injury had been treated.
The injury to his right thigh was a false alarm, but under the influence of exhaustion and calf cramps at the time, he was naturally unable to continue playing. Now the team doctor and the private team's advice was that he could rest well for the next week.
His phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Henry.
The team was on holiday today and everyone needed to rest, but the teammates decided to get together in the coffee shop in the afternoon to chat.
Qin Xiong put on a casual outfit and left home.
He drove to a high-end coffee shop in the city and saw Vieira, Touré, Ashley Cole, Pires, Ljungberg, Silva, Henry and the other teammates sitting in a booth by the window on the second floor. There were drinks on the table. Yes, there was alcohol, and some of the teammates had drunk some.
It was obvious that everyone was in a bad mood. It was reasonable to drink to drown their sorrows.
The waiter came up and Qin Xiong asked for a glass of water. Then he stood in front of the window with the glass in his hand. He did not participate in the conversation of his teammates sitting in the booth.
Most of them were complaints and complaints.
For example, attacking Chelsea for being too shameless would always be counterattack, counterattack, counterattack.
There would also be people who would suddenly say something like, "I can't figure it out. How can Chelsea's players stand that kind of boring and ugly football? Is it just because you make more money? "
Qin Xiong did not respond. He stood in front of the window and looked at the street outside. He noticed that there were paparazzi on the opposite side of the street who had their cameras aimed at the second floor. Qin Xiong did not care. He was used to it anyway.
The complaints now were really like the weak's groundless complaints. Moreover, there was no point in discussing the thoughts of Chelsea's players. They were just measuring others by their own standards.
Why?
Be victorious.
And they got it.
Harry came to Qin Xiong's side and asked calmly, "What do you think? We lost yesterday. Next season, or in the next two or three years, can the team still make a breakthrough? "
Qin Xiong shook his head. He didn't deny it, but he didn't want to answer this kind of question.
What he said was never important, and it didn't make much sense.
He turned and looked down at the glass in his hand. After taking a sip of water, he said faintly, "Discussing the past failures may allow us to sum up our experience and let us learn lessons. But I don't think our game with Chelsea is worth summing up. Are we definitely better than Chelsea? Not necessarily. Chelsea is not perfect, and we are not perfect. In the competition in the league tournament, including the Champions League before the quarterfinals, our performance and that of Chelsea were on par. The more we discuss now, the more we care about the loss of the game and the more we fear Chelsea. I think the most important thing now is the league tournament in three days. Can we accept losing the Champions League in less than a week and then losing the league tournament? We don't have to deceive ourselves. If Chelsea takes back the league leader position at Stamford Bridge in the next league game, then we can declare that we have failed to defend our title. Don't look at the five rounds of the league tournament. Chelsea will at most draw one out of the five games, and they will never lose again! We have seen their playing style. They don't want to lose. The team that can beat them may be rare. I think the only ironic fact is that Chelsea has just interpreted the risk changes in football. The more they want to win, the greater the probability of them losing because they want to attack. But the more they don't want to lose, the more likely they are to win because the opponent may not be able to hold back. They can't be as calm and patient as Chelsea to defend and not attack. As long as their opponent attacks, the trend of the game will enter the best track for Chelsea to play. Defense, counterattack! "
If Qin Xiong had said this a few months ago, it would not have had any impact among his teammates. But now, his words would certainly be taken seriously by his teammates.
They needed to look forward. They could not be obsessed with the outcome of a game. No matter how important that game was, it was already in the past.
The most realistic question in front of them was: Do they still want the league title?
If they returned to Stamford Bridge in their current state of frustration and anger, then there was an 80% probability that Arsenal would directly give the league title to Chelsea!
Even if Qin Xiong could not play in the game this weekend, he was always a member of the team who played an important role.
Vieira finished the beer in his glass and then said to everyone, "Go home and have a good rest. We still have to do a big job this weekend! If we lose to Chelsea in the league tournament again, we may become the biggest joke. Undefeated in 62 league games, the strongest offensive team in Europe, it will only make us more disgraced. Cheer up, the most important thing now is to win the league title. I believe everyone has the same idea. We don't want to work hard for a season and end up with nothing. "
The captain spoke and the teammates left together.
When Qin Xiong drove back to the apartment and was about to enter the garage, he suddenly saw a beautiful figure standing in front of the door.
He immediately stopped the car, pushed the door open and got out of the car. He was stunned to see the tired-looking Sylvia smiling at him with a suitcase at her feet. She walked quickly to Qin Xiong and stepped forward to hug Qin Xiong.
"I rushed over from Shanghai after watching the game. I knew you would not be defeated, but I wanted to be by your side at this time. This is the only thing I can do."
Qin Xiong hugged her delicate body back and exerted more and more strength, as if he wanted to integrate her into his body.
Yes, he was strong and fearless with a strong willpower.
But it did not mean that his disappointment did not exist like air.
It was just that he would not vent hysterically. At this moment, Sylvia's unexpected appearance by his side once again made a huge impact on the soft part of his heart.
Yes, he needed a considerate person to be by his side. He did not need to talk, he did not need to make himself weak to be comforted and enlightened. But he needed a normal life to reduce the impact of negative emotions and actively face the tense and intense Tree Shade battlefield in the future!
