Qin Xiong's debut match in the Eredivisie lasted only 30 minutes, but his performance in those 30 minutes was excellent.
His contribution to the score was a goal and an assist.
His contribution to the situation of the game was: dominating the midfield!
At the end of the game, the scoreboard showed a bloody score.
5:0
After the score was 2: 0, within 15 minutes, Ajax scored three more goals in a row.
After the collapse of William II's tactical system, their momentum took a sharp turn. It was as if they were dismembered by Ajax, and the person who dismembered them was Qin Xiong, Ajax's midfield commander.
William II's manager, Mark Walter, left the field with a gloomy face. The first 60 minutes of the game were beautiful in his eyes, but since Qin Xiong came on, it was as if they had entered a nightmare!
It had to be said that the "psychological quality" of William II's team was slightly weak. Their ability to withstand pressure was too poor. They had collapsed at the Philips Stadium and collapsed again at the Amsterdam Arena.
It was also Ajax's fault for being too ruthless in the final moments.
Van Der Vaart was eager to perform and did not restrain himself. He was still attacking crazily in the final moments. Manager Comain withdrew Ibrahimovic for a rest, and the substitute, Sonke, was even more eager to score. In addition, Snede and Qin Xiong were full of energy. The final stages of the game were played smoothly, no matter how they played.
Qin Xiong and his teammates thanked the home fans and walked toward the players' tunnel. In the stands near the tunnel, there were actually many fans waving at him. Some wanted his jersey, some wanted his autograph, and some wanted to take a picture with him.
Qin Xiong, who was unfamiliar with these, just smiled at the fans in a friendly manner. He did not walk to the side of the stands. Instead, he walked directly into the players' tunnel and returned to the locker room to take a bath and rest.
The tense atmosphere in the locker room during the halftime interval disappeared after the game. In the final 30 minutes, they crushed William II and obtained a big victory. In fact, the players quickly forgot about the game.
In terms of profession, the competition was work. The results of the competition represented their good work performance, so there was no need to be calculative about the conflicts that occurred during work and make themselves unhappy.
General Comain was proudly interviewed by the reporters after the game. He was asked what had changed the game so that Ajax was able to defeat his opponent in one go in the last 30 minutes, unlike the first 60 minutes.
Comain smiled and pushed the credit to the entire team.
He said, "We did have some trouble in the first 60 minutes. The players were nervous and impatient on the field, but they quickly adjusted. We controlled the pace of the game and had the advantage. They calmly grasped the opportunity. They showed the fighting spirit and belief that Ajax should have."
"Today's substitute is a China player, Qin Xiong. Please comment on his performance. This should be his second professional game. After his eye-catching performance in the Dutch Cup three days ago, today he turned in a score sheet with a pass and a shot as a substitute. Also, his performance in the midfield was unforgettable. "
Comain stopped smiling and said seriously, "Qin Xiong is a big discovery for us this season. He has a lot of talent and potential. His technical characteristics are also very similar to Ajax. However, he is still young. I am very happy that he is always full of fighting spirit. I am also very satisfied with his performance today. However, I think he needs to cover his ears and not be affected by the outside world's discussion. For a player like him at this age, if he wants to grow steadily, his mentality is the most important. I hope he can maintain a normal mentality."
Ajax was not an ordinary place. The probability of geniuses being born here was very high. However, not all of them could succeed in the end. Therefore, the club, from top to bottom, would not be amazed by a genius. Instead, they would first keep calm and then remind the young players to stabilize their mentality and not get carried away!
Qin Xiong was a stranger in the eyes of the outside world. Therefore, they paid more attention to him, as if they had discovered a new continent. However, if they calmed down and looked at it objectively, in this game, Snede, who played together with Qin Xiong, also performed well. He also had a goal and an assist. Then what? Not many reporters would be surprised after the game. However, Snede was only 19 years old!
However, Snede already had a record of playing in the Dutch national team.
Was there a need to be particularly amazed by Qin Xiong?
The main reason was that Qin Xiong was a new face.
Although Comain had a high opinion of Qin Xiong in the interview and also gave a "kind warning," the real excitement and joy were hidden in the bottom of his heart!
In the Dutch Cup, plus this 30-minute substitute appearance, Comain already had a preliminary judgment of Qin Xiong's understanding and positioning.
The midfield commander, there was no better candidate in Ajax's lineup than him!
Van Der Vaart's technical ability was good. There was no doubt about that.
However, Van Der Vaart's role as a midfield playmaker was obviously inferior to Qin Xiong.
In fact, in the game, Qin Xiong solved the problem of Ajax's offense not flowing smoothly and the difficult situation. The way he used was very, very simple.
That was, when he organized the offense, he paid more attention to the horizontal shift and tear apart the opponent's defense.
He did not excessively move forward in a straight line like Van Der Vaart.
It sounded simple, but on the field, it was actually very difficult to do it calmly.
After all, football could be seen with the naked eye. It was not complicated at all.
However, there were many times when the audience did not understand. There was a very good opportunity to pass the ball to a teammate. Why did the good player not pass it? Why did he not shoot when he should have shot?
Why?
Yes, the onlookers could ask such a simple question.
However, on the field, the influence of pressure, atmosphere, state, thinking, and so on could not be seen with the naked eye.
However, Qin Xiong had played too few professional games. Not to mention one hand, two fingers represented two games, and they were not complete.
He needed more experience and more experience. Especially since Jax didn't have a lot of opponents in the Champions League, and they had a lot of ambitions in the European Championships. However, there was a huge difference in the level of challenge in this competition.
Comain also did not dare to make a deeper judgment of Qin Xiong with a simple 120-minute game.
However, he would do his best to give Qin Xiong opportunities to practice and observe his growth. Comain also began to agree with Louis Van Gaal's suggestions on the tactical system.
If Qin Xiong could quickly and perfectly integrate into the team, he could push Van Der Vaart back to the front line and let the team's number one striker return to his preferred position. Then, the current shortcomings of the team in terms of technical and tactical skills could be greatly improved.
After a simple post-match fatigue recovery exercise in the club, Qin Xiong changed into sportswear and carried a shoulder bag to return to Wardle Street.
Unexpectedly, Snede stopped the car and waved to him on the side of the road. Qin Xiong walked over curiously and asked, "What's the matter?"
Snede opened the door of the passenger seat and said, "Let's have dinner together. You're single anyway."
Qin Xiong thought about it and did not refuse. The last game of the Dutch Cup was played at night. Today's league game was in the afternoon. Now he really needed to eat to fill his stomach. Moreover, it was normal to have dinner with new friends.
After getting in the car, he asked Snede to borrow his phone. Snede asked curiously, "Who are you calling?"
"My agent. I told him I won't be back for dinner tonight."
"Is he your relative?"
"No, but I'm afraid he'll be worried."
"Oh."
Snede felt a little strange as he drove.
Perhaps in his opinion, with Qin Xiong's age, he should not have to report to anyone at all.
However, when he heard Qin Xiong say that he was "afraid he'll be worried," he could not make fun of him.
Snede drove to a restaurant in the city that looked very exquisitely decorated. Qin Xiong could not tell whether the restaurant was high-end or low-end. He had a bank card in his wallet, so he could not pay by card.
In his opinion, 100 Euros should be enough for a meal. After all, it was equivalent to more than 1,000 RMB.
He only had 100 Euros in his bank card. Including the less than 20 Euros he had on him, that was all he had now.
Of course, he also made a lot of money today. Although his weekly salary was low, there was still an appearance fee and a goal bonus. It was just that the club would not pay him his salary immediately. It would only be paid at the end of the month. Thinking of this, Qin Xiong was still very happy. Because today was September 28th, his salary would be paid in a few days.
