Comain's worries were completely unnecessary.
Qin Xiong's mentality would not change just because of one or two outstanding performances, and he did not care about what the outside world thought of him.
He lived his life according to the prescribed order.
On the morning of the second day after the match, when the sun rose from the east, he and George jogged on the beach in the North Sea, like a pair of brothers.
.....
The Dutch media continued to pay attention to Qin Xiong. After all, it was Ajax that had a new star emerging. Some of the football critics commented on Qin Xiong's performance in the match. Perhaps it was to generate publicity, but some people directly said that Qin Xiong was better than Van Der Vaart as a midfield playmaker!
Others suggested that Comain let Qin Xiong replace Pienaar and form a new midfield combination with Van Der Vaart.
Of course, there were also voices of opposition.
And they were reasonable.
It had been more than a month since the start of the league, and Ajax's situation in the Champions League group stage was not good. At this time, Ajax still had to experiment with a new midfield combination in such a crucial position!
Wasn't this nonsense?!
These critics pointed out that what Ajax needed was stability! And not to play matches while honing a new lineup.
Qin Xiong was a controversial figure in the Dutch media. He was a new star, and because of his brilliance, there was a lot of talk about him. The football critics and famous players could express their own opinions, with different opinions.
But Qin Xiong was unanimously praised by the Chinese media!
He was not the first Chinese player to appear in the Netherlands. As early as 16 years ago, Chinese players had appeared in the Netherlands, but they had joined unknown small clubs.
But Qin Xiong was definitely the first player in Chinese football history to wear the jersey of a European powerhouse in the eyes of Chinese people!
Previously, when Qin Xiong was first introduced to the Chinese fans by the media, everyone's reaction was very cold.
Genius?
Sorry, Chinese fans had been deceived by geniuses many, many times.
Not to mention that Qin Xiong was an 18-year-old genius, Chinese fans had seen even younger players.
Just two years ago, the 17-year-old China's genius, Li Tiantian, had ascended to De 2. What happened next? Return to China a year later, and then? She wondered what he was doing now.
This was the "China genius" in most people's minds.
Therefore, Qin Xiong did not attract much attention at first.
However, when the highlights of his performance in the Dutch Cup began to spread widely in China, from that moment on, the Chinese fans truly equated Qin Xiong with a genius.
This China player with an elegant style of play, full of drive, imagination, and creativity, began to make the fans look forward to, look forward to, and give their blessings!
Young man, don't ever stop, don't ever fall, don't ever give up on your dreams!
With the identity of a Chinese, he would walk to a higher stage!
I'm watching you!
He is watching you!
We are all watching you!
One person, ten people, a hundred people, thousands of Chinese fans, they are all watching you!
We can give you support and encouragement. We only hope that what you repay us with is not disappointment, and not another sad ending!
In the era of rapid development of the Internet, in China's major sports forums, the topic of "Qin Xiong" quickly became popular, and he began to gain fans. He had a large number of supporters from all over the country.
The story of him completing the three-step jump in Ajax within a month was described as extremely inspirational. After the media released photos of him, Qin Xiong, Ruud van Basten, Comain, Louis Van Gaal, and those teammates who were already famous, it made Qin Xiong even more popular!
The media dug up the story behind Qin Xiong, which was his past in Jiangcheng's football youth home. The two matches with the Japanese and Korean teams were also dug up again and became a hot topic for the fans.
Now, the topic that China's media was promoting was: Would Qin Xiong become the number one player in China on the Champions League stage?!
There was no mainstream channel to watch the Dutch league in China, but the Champions League could still be watched in many regions.
However, whether to broadcast Ajax's matches was another matter. However, there were indeed local TV stations that would change their plans and choose to broadcast Ajax's matches live. After all, compared to the matches between the non-powerhouses, Ajax now had China elements, and the audience appeal was stronger!
The training atmosphere of the First Team was subtly different from that of the Youth Team and the Reserve Team.
The Youth Team was a little childish and undisciplined, while the Reserve Team was working hard. On the other hand, the First Team followed the routine step by step, and the atmosphere was more relaxed.
Usually, there might be hidden dangers and problems in a team, especially in interpersonal relationships, but everyone was an adult. They would not let the team be filled with swords and knives all the time. At the very least, there was still some basic respect.
If you were an eyesore or had opinions about you, then just ignore them. There was no need to make things difficult for you and cause conflicts.
Qin Xiong was serious in his training, but there would be teammates who would tease him and make fun of him.
During the strength training today, the teammates did push-ups together, and the coach only stood at a distance to supervise. Everyone's target was different, and it varied from person to person.
Strength training itself was set according to the different conditions of each player.
For example, if the fastest player in the team, Sikora, continuously pursued to increase his strength, then he would have to increase his weight and strengthen his muscles. The consequence would definitely be a decrease in his speed!
With his height of 172cm, and his body frame, giving up speed to pursue strength would only cause him to be abandoned by Ajax!
That was because his main advantage in the First Team was his speed. His unparalleled speed would give the team a tactical advantage.
It was impossible for a player to have the best strength and the best speed.
Strength, agility, and speed were all related to each other.
Now, the number one player in China's basketball world, Yao Ming, if you asked a giant like him to increase his speed and agility, what would he give up? Weight, muscles, strength!
Once he gave up, his dominance under the basket would quickly decline.
In the process of Qin Xiong's growth, the coaches would also pay attention to maintaining the balance of his physical development. For example, if the growth of his strength was too high and affected his speed, then the intensity of the strength training would be reduced. This was also to ensure that the speed advantage he showed from a young age would not be buried.
A player's peak speed was generally between the ages of 18 and 25. For people like Qin Xiong, who focused on training at an earlier age, his speed came quickly in the early stages. Although he did not reach his speed limit at the age of 18, it was close.
Ajax's coaching team's evaluation of him was: His speed and acceleration without the ball were first-class in today's football world. Not the best, but good enough.
And as a midfielder, it was necessary for him to strengthen his strength training.
For example, Snede had finished his push-ups early and did not force himself to continue. He lay on the grass and turned his head to look at Qin Xiong. Time after time, he supported his body with his arms and moved up and down.
Snede rolled to the side of Qin Xiong. He raised his left hand and pressed the palm of his hand on Qin Xiong's back. He pressed down hard.
Qin Xiong turned his head and glanced at him. He continued to move up and down and do push-ups as if he was not affected.
Snede sat up and switched to his right hand to exert force. Qin Xiong felt a little strained, but he could still continue.
Snede stood up and put one leg over Qin Xiong's body. Then he sat down on Qin Xiong's back. He did not dare to leave his feet on the ground and put all his weight on it. Jokes aside, he still understood the severity of the situation.
He pressed his hands on Qin Xiong's shoulders. Qin Xiong's muscles tightened and he continued to exert force. There was no problem!
Snede's feet slowly left the ground and he grabbed Qin Xiong's shoulders. Then his eyes widened as he felt himself slowly going up and down.
He weighed close to 130 kilograms. Although it was not too heavy, he was sure that there were not many people in the First Team who could carry 130 kilograms and still do push-ups.
After Qin Xiong did 10 push-ups in a row, he fell to the ground, drenched in sweat. Snede immediately got down from his back and asked, "Are you forcing yourself? You'll get hurt like this. "
Qin Xiong rolled his eyes and wiped the sweat off his face. He asked in return, "If you know you'll get hurt, why are you still sitting on me?"
Snede pinched Qin Xiong's well-defined muscles and said, "I want to see if you're as strong as you look."
Qin Xiong pursed his lips and smiled. Then, taking advantage of Snede's inattention, he bumped his arm into Snede, causing him to almost roll on the ground. He laughed in spite of himself. "So it's because you're too weak."
Snade rubbed his shoulders and wondered, "How on earth did you manage to do that? You don't look like a muscular guy. "
Qin Xiong glanced at Ivan, who was not far away. "Look at him. He doesn't look like a muscular guy either. But in the match before, I was sure that he was very strong."
Snede looked at Ivan and shook his head. "He should have even stronger strength. And you … no, what do you need strength for? Tell me, how many times have you quarreled with people on the streets? How many times have you fought? "
Qin Xiong's face was full of astonishment.
How did the topic get sidetracked as they chatted?
Was the strength of a competitive sport the same as the strength of a brawl?
And what puzzled him the most was that Snede seemed to admire Ivan.
