What Qin Xiong said to the reporters during the day caused an uproar and set off huge waves in China's football world.
Many football commentators and reporters, as well as football program hosts, expressed their opinions.
Everyone did not support Qin Xiong because Qin Xiong did not express any position. He only said that he would follow the leader's decision!
If he felt that the Olympic men's football competition was more important than the World Cup and the Asian Cup, then he would quit the national team and play for the national Olympic team.
If it was the other way around, then he would join the national Olympic team temporarily in the summer of 2008 to lead the team in the Olympic Games.
In the direction of public opinion, the fans certainly supported Qin Xiong to continue to stay in the national team. Out of 100 fans, how many of them would think that the Olympic men's football competition was more important than the World Cup and the Asian Cup? Probably no more than five!
People in China's football media expressed their personal opinions. Most of them thought that Qin Xiong was now under "political pressure" and was becoming a victim of China's football!
The greater the power, the greater the responsibility!
The leader ordered people around irresponsibly and hoped that Qin Xiong could play a more important role. This was understandable, but it also had to be based on reality.
The most ridiculous point was, how many countries in the world would specially prepare an Olympic team for the Olympic Games?
Almost none!
Perhaps it was a difference in philosophy, understanding, thinking, and so on. When it came to the Olympic Games, very few countries would set a "task target" like China. The football competition was mostly set up temporarily before the competition, instead of going to Tsinghua University two or three years in advance to prepare for the competition. What was the point?
Winning one, two, or even ten Olympic men's football championships, was it worth a continental championship trophy? Not to mention achieving a breakthrough on the stage of the World Cup.
Although Qin Xiong used the title "leader" in the interview and did not say who it was, the media was resourceful and still pointed the finger at Xie Yalong, the vice president of the China Football Association.
After a big discussion, Xie Yalong's proposal to Qin Xiong became a laughing stock. The China Football Association had another ridiculous idea.
When Qin Xiong called Xie Yalong, Xie Yalong was also furious. He didn't expect that Qin Xiong's reaction would be so strong.
However, when he saw that Qin Xiong had called him, he calmed down. He thought that Qin Xiong was calling to apologize and make concessions. After all, as Qin Xiong had said, Xie Yalong was the leader. In China, which was an excessively bureaucratic mindset, Qin Xiong's "insubordination" was simply courting death.
"President Xie, I suddenly called you because I want to tell you something. Please don't arbitrarily arrange the national team's affairs in the future. Let the national team develop step by step like the national teams of many countries in the world. Let the national team play what matches it should play and work how it should work. Don't suddenly implement your ideas on the national team. To be honest, I'm very tired. I play football, not sit in an office and have meetings and meals every day."
"Qin Xiong! Watch your words! "
"I'm speaking from the bottom of my heart. There's nothing to pay attention to. Let me tell you what I'll do if you make me unhappy again! First, in front of the media, I'll directly say your name. I just don't want to be manipulated by a stupid donkey like you! Second, you use the power in your hands to play tricks. If I'm unhappy, I'll join forces with my teammates to launch a military remonstrance! We'll directly announce to the public that as long as you're in power, we won't play for the national team! We'll be condemned by the outside world and become sinners. To put it bluntly, we'll perish together with you. But we still have a chance to redeem ourselves. After you step down, we'll return to the national team. I believe that this day won't be too long, because I know what I'm capable of and what I can contribute to the national team. Any mistakes you make will be magnified. Don't talk about power or how big the official position is. This is only football. In normal order, the Chinese Football Association is actually a civil organization, not a government agency. Third, think about how many people in the country support me and how many people support you. In China, saliva can drown people! Good night! "
After that, Qin Xiong hung up the phone.
The national team teammates present, except for Liu Yi and Zhang Pengfei, were all stunned.
They suddenly remembered Qin Xiong's outburst in the locker room when he had just entered the national team last year.
Liu Yi and Zhang Pengfei were not surprised. This was Qin Xiong. Maybe he would hit a wall when he went to work in society because he was not smooth enough. But he was a footballer, and there were many professional footballers with sharp personalities.
If everyone was a friend, he would be a good person and a good brother who was loyal to his friends.
However, if there was a conflict between them due to their different paths, he would react very violently.
Liu Yi put one hand on Qin Xiong's shoulder and said in a deep voice, "In terms of public opinion, we have the advantage because the Chinese Football Association's image has always been bad."
Qin Xiong curled his lips and joked, "Which football association in the world has a good reputation? The Football Association? Spain? Italy? Brazil? Argentina? "
In fact, when you think about it, most football associations in the world have a negative image in the eyes of the public!
Because these civilian organizations can't get rid of all kinds of negative scandals.
Just like the most authoritative management organization in the football world, UEFA or FIFA, whose image is good?
Qin Xiong looked at Zheng Zhi and Sun Xiang and said, "The theme of today's dinner is not me complaining, is it?"
Everyone looked at each other.
In fact, today's dinner was for Sun Xiang, Zheng Zhi, Zhao Junzhe, and Shao Jiayi to discuss again about going to Europe to play football.
Qin Xiong's view had not changed.
Hurry up and leave China's football world!
The environment was not suitable, and there was no benefit to their future.
But everyone was more worried that they would become the next "Li Tie."
Qin Xiong calmed down and said solemnly, "I only learned about Li Tie's situation when I was in England. He is a special case because he is not a normal transfer dominated by competitive factors! Everton did not bring him in for competitive needs, but for commercial needs, so this is easy to understand. The club does not expect him to play football, so he can sit on the bench for a season and will continue to sit on it. If you want to go abroad to train, you must first figure out your position in the club. Even if you can't enter the top league, there are many leagues in the world that are better than the Chinese Super League, right? The SPL, the Eredivisie, the Portuguese Super League, and even the second-tier leagues of the top league, the EFL Championship, the Bundesliga, and so on. There are actually many choices, and the choice is in your hands. In another two or three years, I don't think you need to consider going abroad. It's meaningless. What can a player above 26 improve? Your foundation is already like that. Even if I give you more experience, your basic skills are not good enough, so it won't be of much use. "
His teammates nodded and thought that Qin Xiong was more realistic.
