The battle between Real Madrid and Lyon at the Bernabéu was bound to spread throughout the European football world. Such a match between masters would always attract attention, not to mention that the game was full of ups and downs and was full of drama!
There were too many classic scenes. After the game, Capello used "incredible" three times in a row to describe Qin Xiong's performance. Although he still mainly evaluated the team, his high praise for Qin Xiong was no longer a secret.
Even the Lyon players admired Qin Xiong with mixed feelings during the post-game interview.
Malouda said in an interview, "There's nothing to say about losing the game. We lost to Real Madrid's number 9. Even if the original Ronaldo was on the field, we would have won the game. A draw would not have happened. But we lost. We lost to Real Madrid's new number 9. That's all. It's not that I don't want to say his name, but I want to completely forget about this game. "
His slightly aggrieved and sad words were understandable. After all, he scored the team's second goal. At that time, everything was beautiful. Unfortunately, everything was turned upside down after that.
Juninho Jr. was quite magnanimous. He said frankly, "Qin Xiong left a deep impression on us. I have to say that after the last game, I thought he was just lucky in the Gerland Stadium and accidentally scored two goals because of his excellent performance. But today, his performance was better than the last game. This made me believe that that was his true strength. So, it's not surprising that he has obtained the enviable and respected achievements in the past three years. He is the most shocking representative of the younger generation of players."
.....
Qin Xiong returned home. Sylvia was waiting for him. She listened to Qin Xiong tell her some of the small details that happened in the game, things that even the camera would miss. Then, the two of them would fall asleep in each other's arms.
Qin Xiong needed to adjust his mentality, especially after hearing the reporters unanimously say that Cannavaro had been elected as Mr. Ballon d 'Or.
He wanted to walk out of this year's obsession with the Ballon d 'Or award, but he also wanted to maintain his current state. Naturally, he needed to adjust his state of mind.
Being with Sylvia and feeling a different kind of warmth was a very good way to do that.
Real Madrid's 3: 2 comeback against Lyon became the focus of the entire European football world the next day. The highlights of the game also became a popular video repeatedly played on television stations.
Qin Xiong became the focus of public opinion. After the Spanish Derby, it was no longer a strange phenomenon for him to be sought after. Instead, it had become a trend.
The front page of Real Madrid's team newspaper, AS, was a shocking picture of Qin Xiong alone in the midfield against Lyon's half of the field.
"The elegance of a noble, the insight of a wise man, the maturity of a priest, the charisma of an actor, the talent of an artist, the tenacity of a warrior, and even the terror of a devil! He is the wing of Bernabeu, the perfect partner of Fanny and Raúl! "
Marca used the picture of Qin Xiong taking off his clothes to celebrate on the sidelines after defeating Lyon as the front page.
"Just like Lampard for Chelsea, Gerard for Liverpool, and Ronaldinho for Barcelona, he is the 'foreign magician'. In the long journey of Real Madrid's resurgence, he carried the glory of a team on his shoulders!"
Germany's Bild newspaper wrote, "There is a kind of killer or devil on the pitch who can attack the city and break the gate to score, while the other kind can do this while also making the defensive players miserable and even destroy their reputation! There is no more suitable representative than Qin Xiong. Once the magic dragon comes out, all the center backs in Europe will tremble. The British poet Thomas famously described time as "a running tomb." Then it is appropriate enough to describe Qin Xiong. He chases all the famous defensive players, then raises his butcher's knife and buries them on the spot! "
The Netherlands' Internazionale was full of poetry and pride when it commented on Qin Xiong.
"Qin Xiong is always like a falcon, hovering over the turf in a wide range and suddenly launching a fatal dive. The ghostly and unpredictable positioning, the fierce momentum from the side stabs, the domineering one-on-one knockout of his opponents, and the spirit and tenacity of his playing style make him the most difficult killing weapon to guard against in the new era of Bernabeu."
The Times, the most influential newspaper in the United Kingdom, made a rare feature of Qin Xiong in the sports section. After all, there were still English teams participating in the Champions League matches.
"His movements and movements are perfect, his control and dribbling are excellent, and he's good at both passing and shooting. He's outstanding both individually and as a team. He's the most complete arsenal on the offensive line. Long spears, short sticks, and heavy weaponry. He's good at everything. Whether it's the earth-shattering long shots or the muscle-jungle strangulation, he's never lost to those famous opponents. Real Madrid have survived many desperate situations, relying on the "Eastern Magic Dragon" at the right moment to be spicy at the right time. Such a slick and skillful midfielder like him is rarely seen in ten years. Every time he receives the ball, he instantly bursts out a burst of explosive fireball-like energy. When he hugs the football in his arms and the fans cheer for him, that feeling is truly irreplaceable! "
.....
It seemed that talking about Qin Xiong had become the trend and fashion in the football circle, and the praise from many people praised Qin Xiong to an unimaginable height.
There were also many media outlets who thought that Qin Xiong was more qualified to be elected this year's Mr. Ballon d 'Or!
Qin Xiong personally appeared to be more calm. He had heard a lot of praises, so there was nothing to make a fuss about. Moreover, this would not change his current situation.
After a day of rest after the Champions League match, Qin Xiong enjoyed the breakfast cooked by Sylvia in the morning and kissed her goodbye. He then prepared to drive to the training base to train step by step.
Now he had to prepare for the weekend's league match, and after the league match, he had to attend the Ballon d 'Or awards ceremony. He was already indifferent to this year's Ballon d' Or awards ceremony, but he still had to be there.
Qin Xiong's Bentley had just driven out of the garage when a car blocked his way on the street outside the door.
Qin Xiong rolled down the window inexplicably, stuck his head out and shouted at the car, "Kyle, why are you looking for me at this time?"
He recognized that it was Freddy's car.
Freddy drove around Qin Xiong's car and then parked the car in the parking lot of Qin Xiong's villa. Then he got out of the car and trotted to Qin Xiong's car. He pulled open the front passenger seat and sat in it.
Qin Xiong was surprised to see that Freddy's face was a little nervous and anxious.
"What happened?"
Freddy grabbed Qin Xiong's arm and said in a strange tone, "Something happened!"
"Hmm? What happened? "
"The editor-in-chief of France Football and their exclusive photographer want to interview you today and record some things."
"Oh, does this count as something happening?"
Qin Xiong seemed to realize something. Freddy's words made him completely understand.
"This means that you still have a chance to become Mr. Ballon d 'Or! In fact, they wanted to interview you last Sunday, but Capello gave you a break to prepare for the Champions League match! "
