When Qin Xiong walked into the players' tunnel and came to the mixed interview area, many reporters crowded around him and handed microphones to him. Henry was also the subject of the reporters' eagerness to interview.
Qin Xiong, who was in a good mood, improvised and showed off his Spanish.
"This is a game that may be unforgettable for me for the rest of my life. In addition to my satisfaction with my own performance, every one of my teammates played their true strength. We won a crucial game together at the Bernabéu. Top eight? It's too early to say. We can never underestimate Real Madrid's ability to create miracles. We still have to face the second leg seriously. The side that performs better will advance to the top eight, not the team that wins the first leg will definitely advance. "
Many of the Arsenal players were interviewed. In contrast, the star players of Real Madrid faced difficulties from the media and were abused by the extreme fans to vent their anger when they left the stadium after the game.
Arsenal's entire team took the plane back to London in an extremely excited mood. When they arrived in London late in the morning, a large number of Arsenal fans came to the airport to pick them up. They cheered for Arsenal's brilliant results at the Bernabéu and kept shouting the names of Henry, Qin Xiong and other players.
It was destined to be a sleepless night for Arsenal.
The next day, Fleet Street released the battle report. The title of The Times was shocking: Arsenal Destroys Galactica!
The article commented on the game at the Bernabéu. Arsenal received universal praise, but the columnist put forward a point of view: Qin Xiong was infinitely close to a world-class player!
A world-class player did not have to win the Ballon d 'Or to be considered a world-class player.
It was to have a good performance in key games, just like Ballack. He did not have many convincing individual and team honors, but his strength was widely recognized as world-class.
Qin Xiong's performance in the last two seasons in the Premier League was amazing. He had not met too many powerhouses in the Champions League. It was a challenge for him to be able to meet Real Madrid this season. He delivered a convincing answer and became the best player in the game with two goals and one pass. His brilliance overshadowed Real Madrid's group of superstars.
At the end of the article, the columnist wrote: The core of Arsenal's team for the next ten years is obvious, and that is Qin Xiong! With Henry being over 30 in the next two years, Arsenal's top management should realize that Qin Xiong will replace Henry!
Such words always made many Arsenal fans feel a little dissatisfied.
After all, people were nostalgic. Henry's position at Highbury was unshakable. This was not something that could be changed by Qin Xiong's excellent performance in a few games or one or two seasons. After all, Henry's performance showed no signs of decline. As long as he maintained his current top level, too many Arsenal fans would still regard Henry as the most important player.
Arsenal, who returned from the away game in the Champions League, seemed a little overly excited. Perhaps it was related to the exhaustion after a fierce battle. They performed a little badly in the 27th round of the Premier League against Blackburn Rovers. They almost abandoned Wenger's strategy of playing defensive and counter-attacking in the away game.
They probably had a kind of arrogant mentality of "Real Madrid is under our feet, what is Blackburn Rovers?"
But football was never a competitive sport where the strong would win. Blackburn Rovers almost taught Arsenal a lesson. In the end, Arsenal forced Blackburn Rovers to a draw in the away game. It could be said that reality poured cold water on them after their triumphant return in the Champions League.
In the same round of the game, Chelsea easily defeated Portsmouth at home with two goals. They shortened the point gap between the two teams and returned to a three-point gap.
In view of the competitive pressure to keep pace with Chelsea in the league, Wenger made a risky decision in the training for the 28th round of the league.
He was going to let some of the main players rest in rotation to ensure that he could send out an elite lineup in the second leg of the Champions League 18 finals.
Qin Xiong was the only main player who was not rotated, but the role he shouldered was changed. He withdrew from the front field to play the role of holding back the organization.
In the 28th round of the Premier League, Arsenal was the guest to challenge Fulham. This was a London derby with not a strong confrontational atmosphere.
After Fulham saw that Arsenal had sent out a number of substitutes such as Reyes, Robin van Persie, Hleb, Clichy, Song and so on, they were full of resentment.
They felt that Arsenal was too much of a bully!
What did he mean by sending out a second-string lineup?
Was he looking down on them?
Qin Xiong and Song partnered as the two defensive midfielders and still mainly played defense and counter-attack.
Qin Xiong focused on his ability to accurately pass the middle and long distance in the game, organizing and dispatching in the middle and backfield.
He had already done this kind of work for a long time, especially after Fulham's wave of attack failed to change from offense to defense. He judged the situation and made the best choice of offensive strategy, which often made Fulham's defensive line unable to complete the adjustment in the first place.
The energetic Reyes, Hleb, Robin van Persie and the other players played well in this game. Every time the defense in the backfield was successful, they immediately began to look for gaps in the front field to run, and then Qin Xiong's accurate pass would let them directly carry out the last part of the offensive coordination.
5:0！
An unexpected score was presented in front of all the spectators after 90 minutes. Even if Qin Xiong only had one direct assist, he was still named the man of the game.
After the game, the media in Fleet Street sighed: Arsenal defeated more than 90% of the teams in the Premier League!
No team knew how to face Arsenal. It seemed that the only way was to sullenly defend.
And from this moment on, most of the attention of the outside world was focused on Qin Xiong.
His characteristics of being able to make a qualitative change in the team gradually took root in the hearts of the people.
After two days of rest, Arsenal was at Highbury waiting for Real Madrid's visit.
Real Madrid came to London with a three-goal deficit. At the pre-match press conference, Wenger was accumulating his luck, claiming that the suspense of the game had not disappeared!
Fleet Street did not agree.
"Will Arsenal, who has not lost in 28 rounds in the league this season, lose to Real Madrid at home? Even if they will, according to Arsenal's calmness this season, their defense has improved even better than last season. How can they be defeated by Real Madrid at home by three goals?
And don't forget, Arsenal is creating a new team record in the Champions League: the number of games without conceding and the time without conceding!
Including the six games in the group stage, Arsenal has not been breached by the opponent in seven consecutive games.
Wenger learned the lesson of last season's defeat in the Champions League. Competing with the opponent's offense? It's too dangerous!
The truth of the Grassi world cannot be ignored.
Offense wins victory, defense wins the championship!
In the second leg of the Champions League 18 finals, Real Madrid, who already have a bad defense, has almost no chance of winning from Highbury. They need to score goals, but they also have to think clearly. How can they defend against Henry and Qin Xiong? "
