Real Madrid still did not include Qin Xiong in the squad list for the second leg of the fourth round of the Copa del Rey.
After all, the opponent was a third-division team, Escha. It would be making a mountain out of a molehill if they went all out.
Capello's assessment after the opponent forced a 1: 1 draw in the last round was correct.
It was a problem with the venue!
Estecha's rotten vegetable field made the Real Madrid players unable to let go of their hands and feet. Not to mention whether the football's bumping and rolling in the field would affect the quality of offense and defense, the star players' sense of self-protection would reduce their performance. Everyone was afraid of injury.
They were injured playing against a third-division team, and it was the Copa del Rey, which the club did not value. It was a huge loss!
Real Madrid continued to send out almost all substitutes in the second leg and played a game that the fans cheered at the Bernabéu.
Ronaldo scored a hat-trick in the game, which seemed to give people the illusion that the omnipotent alien was back!
In the end, Real Madrid beat Escha 5: 1 at home and advanced to the top 16 of the Copa del Rey.
Capello seized on the team's only goal after the game and criticized the team's defense with restraint.
But the outside world did not buy it.
Come on, what was the point of criticizing Paven?
Real Madrid could not rely on him anyway!
In the past few years, Paven had proved that he was no longer the youth product that Florentino said could coexist with superstars under great pressure.
November 12th.
Real Madrid was the guest to challenge Osasuna, and the 10th round of the La Liga was played as scheduled.
Qin Xiong, who was in excellent condition, once again became the best player in the game with a pass and a shot.
Real Madrid defeated Osasuna 4: 1 in the away game and won their third consecutive league game.
There was still half a month before the Ballon d 'Or award was announced. After the game, Capello was trapped by the reporters and asked, "If you had to choose between Cannavaro and Qin Xiong, who do you think should be the Ballon d' Or?"
Capello deliberated for a moment before replying, "Whether it is Cannavaro or Qin Xiong, both of them have a reason to be the Ballon d 'Or. Cannavaro led the Italian team to win the supreme World Cup. Qin Xiong won two important team honors this year in the league title and the Champions League title, as well as some surprising individual honors. But this year, I think the judges will pay more attention to the performance in the World Cup. "
Although Qin Xiong had the honor of winning the World Cup Golden Boot, it was a pity that the award was too much of an exaggeration. He had scored so many goals against a weak team. This was something that could not be used to show off, nor could it be used as an advantage for him to compete for the Ballon d 'Or.
Qin Xiong felt a little uncomfortable when he heard Capello's words.
He knew where his disadvantage was. It was a competition year, and team results were very important.
But as the manager of Real Madrid, Capello should at least be impartial. The first half of his words were indeed like that, but the last sentence more or less reminded people that this was the year of the World Cup, and the club's achievements could be ignored. If they wanted to choose the Ballon d 'Or, they had to choose from those successful teams on the World Cup stage.
Freddy was working hard to hype up Qin Xiong, hoping to help Qin Xiong reach the pinnacle of his personal career.
At this point in time, Capello's words made Freddy furious. He called Calderón and reminded him that Real Madrid had to actively strive for the Ballon d 'Or for Qin Xiong to win the Ballon d' Or for Qin Xiong!
Calderón was in high spirits when it came to happy events. He was so happy that he forgot about some of the individual players. When Freddy called, he belatedly remembered this matter, so he publicly declared that Qin Xiong should win the Ballon d 'Or!
The big-mouthed chairman's words had the opposite effect because he used to give the impression that he spoke without thinking. Often, trouble came from the mouth. So what if he supported Qin Xiong this time?
Qin Xiong calmly accepted the reality.
As the time approached, the news of the Ballon d 'Or began to stir.
Since Buffon had been relegated to Italy's Serie B with Juventus, he did not have much exposure in the new season, so his popularity was declining.
Cannavaro, on the other hand, joined Real Madrid and continued to have high exposure. Real Madrid's improvement in results was naturally due to him. This was bound to make the voices of Cannavaro's supporters more confident.
Ronaldinho's downturn caused his popularity to begin to decline, and so did Arsenal's Henry. With the obvious decline in Arsenal's results in the new season and the decline in strength after the absence of Qin Xiong, Henry alone was not enough to carry Arsenal's king position. He was still working hard, but he could not reverse the reality that Arsenal had entered a period of dormancy.
Before Real Madrid ushered in the 11th round of La Liga, bad news came from Budapest.
The former legendary Real Madrid superstar, Puskás, died of illness.
Real Madrid officials held a memorial ceremony to remember the flying general who had made great contributions to Real Madrid on the field.
At eight o 'clock in the evening on November 18th.
The Real Madrid players wore black veils on their arms when they participated in the 11th round of La Liga to commemorate the passing of Puskás.
Qin Xiong performed an assist and scored twice in this game and once again became the key to the team's victory.
3:1
Real Madrid won four consecutive league games after taking down Santander.
With Qin Xiong's continuous individual highlight performances, he firmly believed that he was qualified to compete for the Ballon d 'Or this year.
Just as he was full of ambition, a piece of news after the game made him and his team feel that the situation was not good.
Through the analysis of the outside world, everyone believed that the final battle for the Ballon d 'Or this year would be Real Madrid's civil war between Qin Xiong and Cannavaro!
Buffon, Henry, and Ronaldinho all seemed to lack stamina in the most critical period.
The situation between Qin Xiong and Cannavaro was very delicate.
They were bound together for good or ill.
Real Madrid's performance was outstanding, and both of them would be rewarded!
After the victory over Santander, Cannavaro's personal official website released a statement.
It was as if the Ballon d 'Or was in his hands!
"A marvelous 2006, a year full of victories and championships. If there is a Ballon d 'Or, then I will have a perfect 2006, and my childhood dream will come true. In Italy, people talk about the Ballon d 'Or every day, talking about me, Buffon, and of course, Henry and Qin Xiong. What I know is that I have a perfect World Cup journey, and before that, I also won the league title. In other words, my career reached an unprecedented height in 2006. I know that for a defender, the Ballon d 'Or is often unattainable, but my desire for it is obvious. It will be the greatest affirmation for me. Let's wait for the arrival of the final results on November 27th. Thinking about the great players who have won the Ballon d 'Or in history, November 27th will be a fantastic day. "
