When Qin Xiong returned home, he was taken care of by Sylvia. Sylvia rarely showed her angry and grumpy side in front of him. She constantly reprimanded the perpetrator who hit Qin Xiong with a lighter. In turn, it became Qin Xiong telling her that the football world was not much different from the society that people lived in.
There was a good and positive side here, and naturally there was a dark and ugly side.
Moreover, there was no distinction between camps. It was not necessarily that the fans of a certain team were all good, and the fans of a certain team were all bad.
As a professional athlete, Qin Xiong was used to being verbally humiliated on the field, especially in the English Premier League. It was simply a fantasy that he would not be verbally humiliated by the opponent's fans who were only five meters away from him on the sidelines.
It was just that his mentality had completely changed and he could adjust.
The key was to see how he understood it.
It was true that he had to fight an eye for an eye with the opponent's fans, but in what way?
In layman's terms, it was not worth it to exchange one for one with an opponent's fan.
He would tell himself to use victory on the football field to protect his dignity!
The more insults and attacks from the opponent's fans, the more people feared him!
The next morning, Qin Xiong drove Sylvia to the airport. She would return to Amsterdam to continue her last year of university studies. After a period of reluctant tenderness at the airport, Qin Xiong watched her walk into the boarding gate.
Sylvia returned to the University of Amsterdam. In addition to being busy in her last year for graduation, she actually chose to study a subject that she had to start from scratch, sports medicine!
She hoped that she could help Qin Xiong's career more.
She had already made up her mind and was prepared to go through thick and thin with Qin Xiong for the rest of her life. She hoped to help Qin Xiong through the next ten years, or even close to twenty years, by studying sports medicine.
When Qin Xiong learned about this later, his friends would always say to him enviously when they chatted, "You have a woman who is willing to go to China to learn Chinese culture for you, and she is also studying an unpopular subject. In such a realistic and utilitarian society, her efforts for you are really enviable."

Arsenal's new season was unprecedentedly difficult.
Vieira was gone and before September, Ashley Cole and Campbell were injured again.
It could be said that Arsenal's plans for the new season had been affected. Wenger had no choice but to temporarily transform Flamini into a left-back. Arsenal's golden left flank had almost collapsed. Flamini was not a full-back, and he did not have the sharpness and experience of Ashley Cole's assists. He could only be a well-behaved left-back, and that was all.
Senderos became Campbell's replacement. Senderos was very confident about this and felt that it was the best time for him to usurp the position. Campbell had been out of action for a long time and had missed almost all the remaining games this year. This meant that Senderos would be the main player in both the Premier League and the Champions League.
As next year was the year of the World Cup, this year's AFC schedule originally gave Qin Xiong a headache. There was actually a world qualifier in late August, which was the final game of the Asian quarter-finals between the China team and the South Korea team.
As the China team had already qualified for next year's World Cup in advance, Qin Xiong wanted to take a leave of absence for this game. Now he had a reason. His right brow bone was injured. Although he could insist on playing, at least it was a reasonable reason.
Ali Khan understood Qin Xiong's situation. He did not call up Qin Xiong on this FIFA day. The explanation he gave to the media was that the China team had already qualified for the World Cup, and he needed to hone the newcomer to prepare for the China team next year.
As the South Korea team's life was hanging by a thread, they had to get three points to ensure that they would qualify for the World Cup with a team from another continent as the fifth place in Asia. Therefore, this time the South Korea team sent all their elites to China, while the China team faced the game at home with a young lineup.
In the end, the China team lost to the South Korea team at home by 1: 3. The fans were not too disappointed. The South Korea team's all-out attack was indeed daunting. The China team's mentality was not to the point where they had to fight to the death with the South Korea team. In addition, there were still many main players who were not selected for the squad list. The players who stayed abroad were led by Qin Xiong. Sun Jihai, Liu Yi, and Zhang Pengfei did not return. The China team's loss at home was not too surprising.
.....
The third round of the Premier League went on as scheduled.
Arsenal continued to welcome the London derby, and it was against the West London opponent, Fulham F.C.
The game was in Highbury. Logically speaking, Fulham F.C. should be in an iron bucket formation. However, when Qin Xiong, who had a simple bandage on his right eyebrow bone, started the game, he realized that Fulham F.C. was full of ambition for this game.
He guessed that Arsenal's defensive line had lost many of its main players compared to last season, causing Fulham F.C. to hope to take advantage of Arsenal's decline to take advantage of the situation!
Vieira, Campbell, and Ashley Cole were Arsenal's famous defensive generals from last season. However, in today's game, they were not in Arsenal's lineup!
Every time Qin Xiong touched the ball in the game, Highbury would erupt into loud applause and cheers.
The Gunners fans praised Qin Xiong's fighting spirit. There was no doubt that in the new season of the Arsenal Factory after Vieira's era, Qin Xiong was the player with the most fighting spirit and fighting spirit on the field.
The king of assists, who shocked Europe last season, finally opened his assist account today.
In the 28th minute of the game, Qin Xiong and Ljungberg played a one-two combination on the right side of the front field. After Qin Xiong cut into the end line, he suddenly stopped and changed direction to charge into the penalty area. He stopped the ball in front of Fulham's left back, Jenson. Jenson was hesitant, he wanted to go up but did not dare to. Qin Xiong just stood there, as if he had entered a state of stillness. Then, he moved around Fulham's defensive line, and when the center back, Knight, came to support and assist in defending against Jenson, Qin Xiong suddenly picked the ball on the spot, and the football flew back to the top of the inverted triangle's arc of the penalty area.
Fàbregas, who had plugged in from the back, received the ball and volleyed it into the bottom left corner of the goal!
"Arsenal continues to score goals! Qin Xiong assists Fàbregas to break the goal, and Arsenal's duo in the midfield cooperates! Fulham's defense made an unforgivable mistake. They overly focused their defensive attention on Henry and Pirès. Jenson and Knight were afraid of being broken through by Qin Xiong and did not dare to take the initiative to snatch the ball. They made a mistake. Qin Xiong observed for two seconds on the spot and made the best choice! Fàbregas's volleyed shot was easy and beautiful! "
Arsenal, who had to go all out on their home ground, did not expect Fulham to have the intention to rebel in Highbury. This undoubtedly made the game easier, especially when they calmly and orderly passed and cut to attack. The rich offensive characteristics could be maximized, even if they now lacked the support of a full back.
