When the sky turned white, Qin Xiong woke up from a good night's sleep. Compared to his usual training, he had gone through a 90-minute all-out game last night. When he woke up in the morning, he clearly felt his body was still tired.
However, Qin Xiong was a man who would not slack off. He did not sleep for a while longer. He got up and washed up. At dawn, he took the car to Beihai Beach for his morning exercise.
Because of the game last night, the club gave the players who played in the morning a day off. They would only go to the club in the afternoon to train.
Qin Xiong planned to do some light recovery training in the morning and then spend the whole morning at Beihai Beach. For this, he specially brought his drawing book.
What Qin Xiong did not expect was that when he arrived at Beihai Beach, he saw George practicing alone on the beach.
George's football skills had improved. Under Qin Xiong's guidance, his body's balance and sense of the ball had improved in a short period of time. However, this still did not make George look like he had football talent. Just like when he tossed the ball, he could only last close to 50 balls at most.
However, Qin Xiong was still happy. He had forgotten that George said he wanted to become famous and make a lot of money when he wanted to acknowledge him as a teacher.
He just treated George as a simple child who was enjoying the fun of football.
When George saw Qin Xiong, he hugged the football and wiped the sweat on his forehead with one hand. He ran to Qin Xiong in high spirits and shouted, "Qin Xiong, I watched the game last night. You were really amazing!"
Qin Xiong smiled at him and asked, "When did you get here?"
"About half an hour ago. I was waiting for you here to congratulate you!"
"Haha, thank you."
Qin Xiong put down his shoulder bag and sat on the beach with George to enjoy the sunrise. He listened as the child recalled last night's game and used exaggerated words to describe Qin Xiong's performance on the field.
George's inner excitement was unknown to outsiders. Perhaps it was because the more powerful Qin Xiong was, the faster his dream could be realized. This was because he had a very, very powerful master.
After chatting for a while, Qin Xiong stood up and reached out to pull George up. He smiled at him and said, "Today's training has begun."
Georgia's cute little face instantly turned serious, and she nodded solemnly.
Qin Xiong stopped talking and began to jog along the beach.
Qin Xiong would not accommodate George's jogging speed, and he would also tell George not to speed up in a hurry to catch up with him. The two of them would pull away from each other during the initial jog, and then they would meet face to face when Qin Xiong went back and forth. Every time that happened, Qin Xiong would give George an encouraging look or wave his fist to encourage him.
After training for a while in the morning, Georgia left. He had to go to school.
Qin Xiong did light training alone on the beach until ten o 'clock, and then sat on the beach to paint. At this time, he always felt the most relaxed, as if he was separated from the world and entered a world that belonged to him.
What he didn't know was that at this time, his name had begun to spread all over China.
After the lunch break, Qin Xiong went to the club for afternoon training.
The First Team's main players had a rather dull reaction to the team's six-goal victory at FC Essen last night.
Not to mention a League A team playing against a League B team, even in the Dutch league, on average, there would be almost two or three games where there would be big scores of four to six goals in every round of the league. Moreover, it was not entirely created by the three powerhouses. Other mid-tier and lower tier teams could also go crazy in a game and create a massacre. This was the Dutch league, the paradise of offensive football!
Therefore, even though Qin Xiong appeared in the Dutch local football media today and was hailed as another rising star of Ajax, in the eyes of his teammates, this was normal.
To be able to establish oneself in the Ajax First Team at the age of 18, it would be strange if you were not a genius.
On the other hand, the Dutch Cup really did not interest these main players.
To play in that kind of game, for some arrogant players, there might still be dissatisfaction and disdain in their hearts.
The team began to seriously prepare for the league this weekend.
In the last round of the league, they were unexpectedly defeated by Breda in an away game with a score of 4: 2. Ajax attached great importance to the league this weekend at home. However, their attention was not entirely focused on the league. In the middle of next week, the second round of the Champions League group stage was going to start again!
Ajax had lost to Club Brugge in the last round of the Champions League group stage. The second group stage game was very crucial. If they did not win, their journey in the Champions League this season would basically be over. After all, they had not yet met the defending champions, AC Milan!
Although Ajax was a club that mainly relied on local strength, it did not mean that the local players had strong cohesion within the club.
In a short period of time after entering the First Team, Qin Xiong noticed that even though Van Der Vaart was the captain, the captain's armband on his arm was more significant and did not mean that the other players followed his lead. He was not an absolute leader!
With the long-standing tradition of infighting in the Netherlands, this phenomenon was not difficult to understand. Moreover, Van Der Vaart was also very young. He was a genius, but were Snede, Ibrahimovic, Pienaar and the others not?
Therefore, he was unable to convince the crowd. It seemed that everyone had a tacit understanding on this point and would maintain mutual respect. However, it was not up to anyone to command anyone.
For example, during training breaks, Snede and Stekelenberg would sit together with Qin Xiong to chat and joke. In terms of personal relationships, Qin Xiong noticed that Snede might be closer to Stekelenberg, and his relationship with Van Der Vaart was very ordinary.
After training, Qin Xiong went to report to van Basten. He followed the routine of additional training. He could feel that van Basten's specific guidance had a direct impact on the performance of his skills in the game, which made him even more determined to persevere for a long time.
In the evening, he went to visit Louis Van Gaal. Louis Van Gaal praised his performance in the Dutch Cup and asked him about his thoughts on the game. Qin Xiong told him everything he knew. Then, Louis Van Gaal went back with him to analyze the video of the game, pointing out the areas where his performance was inadequate and helping him improve.
On Saturday morning, Comain announced the squad list for the Premier League game at the training ground.
Qin Xiong was not in the starting lineup.
Most of the players who played in the Dutch Cup in midweek were not in the starting lineup, and Snede was no exception.
After all, they were young. The intensity of two games a week might be too much for their bodies to bear.
Louis Van Gaal did not come to give Qin Xiong a ticket again. Probably because he was not in the starting lineup, he could not enjoy such "privileges."
Without the qualification to be in the starting lineup, Qin Xiong was still calm and prepared for the game seriously. He was a substitute, so he might play.
He had the awareness that a substitute player should have. Even in terms of mentality, he was more upright than the main starting players!
He had to be ready for everything and wait for the opportunity to come. Once he was given the opportunity, he would seize it tightly and then usurp the throne!
On Saturday afternoon, Qin Xiong walked into the Amsterdam Athletic Stadium for the first time wearing the Ajax jersey!
When the starting players lined up and were ready to play, he and the substitutes followed the coaching staff into the stadium first.
The atmosphere in the stadium, which could accommodate more than 50,000 people, was bursting. Qin Xiong could not help but stand in front of the substitutes' bench and look around the stadium. The high-decibel noise made him a little uncomfortable at first.
His eyes were bright and his face was fascinated.
Compete under the gaze of more than 50,000 people!
Show yourself in a top-notch stadium!
Fight for victory on such a stage!
This was enjoyment, a high-level enjoyment that belonged to football!
He fell in love with such an atmosphere in an instant.
This was the place where he left his hometown and carried his luggage across the sea to a completely unfamiliar place where he pursued his dreams alone!
Snede tugged at his jersey behind him. Qin Xiong came back to his senses and looked back. He saw Snede reach out and gesture to a seat not far away. He raised his eyebrows and signaled to Qin Xiong to look at his seat.
Qin Xiong realized that he was blocking the seat in front of manager Comain's seat. Fortunately, Comain had his head down and was flipping through his notebook. Otherwise, Qin Xiong was clearly blocking his view.
Snede was used to Qin Xiong, the "country bumpkin," showing the reaction of Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden from time to time.
He sat down on the substitutes' bench and patted the seat next to him. Qin Xiong walked over and sat down.
Snede, Stekelenburg, Derong, and the others sat down in a relaxed state with natural expressions.
On the other hand, Qin Xiong's expression was solemn. Even his sitting posture was straight. It was hard to tell whether it was because of nervousness or not. His eyes were fixed on the field. Especially when the players from both sides entered the field, he was even more focused.
