Today's update!

China won 2: 0 against Palestine at the Guangzhou Tianhe Sports Center. The China team got off to a good start in the group stage of the AFC Asian Cup qualifiers. After two days of rest, the China team took a plane to Amman, the capital of Jordan.
As their opponent in the same group, Iraq, was suffering from war at home and the situation was unstable, Iraq's home game was moved to the capital of Jordan, and Iraq lost its home advantage.
China's 90-minute game against Iraq in Amman ended with a score of 2: 1. China's team won the game in the neutral position. Qin Xiong contributed two assists in the game, which allowed the striker Han Peng to score a goal as soon as he was selected for the national team. Zhao Junzhe also scored a goal.
Even though Iraq did not have the home advantage, the Iraqi team broke out with unprecedented cohesion against the backdrop of the country's turmoil. However, compared to China's team, which was led by Qin Xiong and had matured over the past two years, China's team was stronger overall than its opponent.
China's team won two consecutive victories in the group stage of the AFC Asian Cup qualifiers. China's football media highly praised the national team.
The youth training system was a taboo topic that Chinese football was unwilling to talk about. It would obviously make it difficult for Chinese football to compete with South Korea and Japan in the future. But as far as the national team of this era was concerned, the team's future was still worth looking forward to after more than two years of building and experience since the establishment of the main team at the beginning of 2004.
Qin Xiong went straight back to Real Madrid after the game. Sylvia was looking forward to it at home. Then he stayed at home to rest for three days. After relieving the fatigue of traveling to and from Europe and Asia and the game, he returned to the training base to participate in Real Madrid's preparation for the La Liga.
When Qin Xiong saw the look between Capello and his teammates on the training ground, he belatedly remembered that Capello had previously blabbed about Real Madrid's players.
It was obvious that the Brazilian players and the Spanish players were unwilling to communicate with Capello. Now, no one would jump out to openly rebel. Capello also seemed to have the dignity of a champion coach. He did not explain or appease them. It was as if he was telling everyone that what he said before was the truth and letting everyone accept reality.
The atmosphere was not good. Although the atmosphere between the team members did not become tense, it was obviously not good for Capello's control of the locker room. The players were not willing to communicate with Capello. The communication between the manager and the team became one-sided. Whatever Capello said, the players would do. As for what the players were thinking, no one knew.
It was a depressing scene. Qin Xiong seemed to be able to feel the invisible glints and shadows of swords. His teammates inadvertently looked at Capello with an unknown emotion in their eyes.
Reyes was very active in communicating with Qin Xiong during the training. He also had his own ambitions. He wanted to become the God of the Left at Bernabéu!
And he knew that Qin Xiong could stimulate his performance, so he had to get closer to Qin Xiong during the training, communicate more and try to cooperate more.
Originally, the outside world speculated that Real Madrid would mutiny after the FIFA game. The Brazilian players would unite with the Spanish players to boycott Capello. But Real Madrid was surprisingly quiet after the FIFA game. No, it should be said that it was dead silent!
In the seemingly calm, Real Madrid rushed to Valencia to prepare for the second round of the league tournament.
They would be the guests to challenge the Levante team in the city of Valencia.
Valencia Municipal Stadium.
The star-studded Real Madrid and the newly promoted Levante were about to appear on the field.
"The second round of the new La Liga season is about to begin. Real Madrid will be the guests to face the home team, Levante.
Will Real Madrid, who won the last game with difficulty, be able to improve in this game?
The relationship between Capello and the team's locker room took a turn for the worse. In the news that was revealed a few days ago, he unscrupulously expressed his evaluation of the team's star players. Some of the comments would definitely make the players unhappy.
If Real Madrid wanted to achieve something in the new season, the relationship in the locker room must be very harmonious. As the saying goes, the general and the commander are of one mind. If the energy was always on the internal strife, how could the team have good results?
Levante's starting lineup today is 4-4-2.
Goalkeeper: Caballero.
Defenders: Zemaria, De Wu, Alexis, Ruviales.
Midfielders: Aidian, Berson, Camacho, Roberto.
Forwards: Riga, Cabo.
Real Madrid's starting lineup is 4-4-2.
Goalkeeper: Casillas.
Defenders: Salgado, Ramos, Cannavaro, Carlos.
Midfielders: Beckham, Diarra, Qin Xiong, Emerson.
Forwards: van Nistelrooy, Raúl.
The game is about to start. Levante will be the first to kick off. "
Capello still emphasized defense when preparing for this game, but he also explained some ideas in the offense.
For example, when attacking, the focus should be on the speed of advancement, the depth of the attack, the width between the opponent's defensive line, and so on.
This was a normal phenomenon. A manager at Capello's level was definitely not a young manager who was instilling tactical ideas into the team. The creation and maturity of a stable strategy needed to be done step by step.
Due to Cassano's poor performance in the last game, and Beckham's performance after his appearance was eye-catching, Capello gave Beckham the opportunity to start in this game.
After the game started, Real Madrid controlled the situation on the field.
In the third minute of the game, Qin Xiong began to try to cooperate with Raúl on the left flank.
He took the lead to dribble to the left flank diagonally to break through Berson's defense, and then kicked the ball to Raúl with the tip of his foot before encountering Etienne.
Raúl, who had the habit of cutting inside from the flank to the middle of the penalty area, directly kicked the ball back to the flank after receiving the football. Qin Xiong circled behind Etienne after the ball and played a beautiful two-over-one combination with Raúl.
Then Qin Xiong dribbled the ball forward, and the full back, Zemlya, cautiously defended Qin Xiong one-on-one. Qin Xiong made a bicycle move and then his body made a horizontal cut to the right flank, but he did not touch the football at his feet at all. Zemlya was confused by Qin Xiong's body movement tendency. After he handed over his body's center of gravity, Qin Xiong stopped and directly dribbled the ball to break through Zemlya from the front!
After coming to the flank outside the penalty area, Qin Xiong used the outside instep of his right foot to rub the ball into the penalty area without warning.
This kind of outside spin pass bypassed the back of the center back, De Wu, and made the goalkeeper, Caballero, misjudge and missed the best time to abandon the goal.
Raúl flew diagonally in front of the goal to snatch the point, but the other center back, Alexis, blocked in front of Raúl. Raúl knocked down the other side and used his body to send the ball into the goal. Just as he was about to celebrate the goal, the referee's whistle sounded, indicating that Raúl had fouled first and the goal was invalid!
Raúl protested helplessly, and then gave Qin Xiong a thumbs up, praising Qin Xiong for the opportunity that he had just created.
In fact, his teammates, especially the strikers, still had to practice with Qin Xiong for a while before they could familiarize themselves with his unique passing skills that caught the opponent off guard.
