Sylvia accompanied Qin Xiong on a trip back to Asia in late November. Qin Xiong made a high-profile appearance at the AFC Annual Awards Ceremony and was awarded the Asian Footballer of the Year award for the fourth consecutive year!
After Qin Xiong returned to Madrid, France Football sent someone to Madrid to interview and record Qin Xiong, just like last year. The annual Ballon d 'Or awards ceremony would be held on December 1st.
Voting had already ended. Through the hints before the France Football awards ceremony, the media had already guessed who the top three players for the annual Ballon d 'Or would be.
Qin Xiong, who played for Real Madrid.
Kaka, who played for AC Milan.
Ronaldo, who played for Manchester United.
Real Madrid's journey continued.
Real Madrid, who had won 19 consecutive games in the new season, had set a record for consecutive wins in team history for more than a hundred years!
In the eyes of the European football world, Real Madrid had transformed into a super-first-rate team!
On November 24th, in the 13th round of La Liga, Real Madrid challenged Murcia in an away game.
Due to the influence of the FIFA virus, the away game against a weak team became very difficult. Qin Xiong only came on as a substitute in the second half. He broke into the penalty area in the 77th minute of the game to receive Balboa's cross and scored the only goal of the game with a header.
Real Madrid defeated their opponent with a thrilling 1: 0 in the away game and won 13 consecutive league games. Step by step, they approached the record for consecutive wins in La Liga and even the five major European leagues.
Real Madrid's performance improved in the Champions League game in the middle of the week. In the fifth round of the Champions League group stage, they challenged Werder Bremen in an away game. Bosque gave some of the main players the opportunity to rotate and rest appropriately.
Werder Bremen played extremely rashly at home because they had to compete with Olympiacos for a qualifying spot. Real Madrid had already secured the first place in the group and did not need to go head-to-head with their opponents. Qin Xiong sat in the midfield and delivered artillery shells to the forward line in the game. He repeatedly sent out wonderful passes during the transition between offense and defense to create opportunities for the forward line to kill.
The two strikers, Higuaín and Saviola, played in high spirits in the game. The two players each scored a goal to help Real Madrid beat Werder Bremen in an away game of 2: 1.
As the 14th round of La Liga approached, Qin Xiong asked the club for leave. He took his wife, Sylvia, to Paris, France to attend the annual Ballon d 'Or awards ceremony.
On December 1st, at the Ballon d 'Or awards ceremony.
Qin Xiong and Sylvia sat in a very conspicuous position in the venue. He seemed very relaxed, and from time to time, a smile would appear on his face, and he would wholeheartedly applaud the winners of other awards.
On the other hand, Ronaldo, who was sitting not far away from him, had a slightly serious expression, as if he was a little uneasy.
When the final winner of the Ballon d 'Or was announced, Qin Xiong and the surrounding guests stood up and applauded together to congratulate Kaka for being honored as this year's Ballon d' Or!
Qin Xiong was prepared and did not feel any disappointment. Kaka almost single-handedly helped AC Milan return to the top of Europe last season. Coupled with AC Milan's powerhouse background and influence, he deserved to be elected as Ballon d 'Or.
At the small banquet after the award ceremony, Qin Xiong learned about his voting score for the Ballon d 'Or.
The gap between him and Kaka was very small!
Kaka was elected as Ballon d 'Or with 341 points.
Qin Xiong got 323 points, only 18 points away!
Ronaldo, who was in third place, fell a little behind, with only 199 points. After him was Messi with 187 points.
Some people who had a good relationship with Qin Xiong came to comfort him, but Qin Xiong did not care.
To be able to become the Ballon d 'Or, it could be said that this year's result was very good.
.....
Real Madrid defeated Santander by 3: 1 in the 14th round of the La Liga league without bloodshed.
14 consecutive league wins were achieved!
Qin Xiong immediately went into preparation after returning to the team. The winter break was coming. Before that, the most important game in the first half of the Real Madrid league was the half-way ending game before Christmas: El Clásico de España!
December 8th, 15th round of the La Liga league.
Real Madrid was the guest to challenge the Basque lions, Athletic Bilbao.
Athletic Bilbao played with unprecedented courage and momentum at home, constantly using crazy pressing and foul tactics to destroy Real Madrid's offense.
Real Madrid paid the price of injuries to Ruud van Nistelrooy and Marcelo to win the game with difficulty.
Qin Xiong, Snede, and Guti advanced skillfully through the Basque lions' heart. In the end, Qin Xiong finished the break and won the away game by 1: 0.
15 consecutive league wins were achieved! They were only two games away from the record of 17 consecutive wins in the five major European leagues!
December 11th.
The end of the Champions League group stage.
Real Madrid faced the Blue Eagle, Lazio, who had been announced to be eliminated from the competition at the Bernabéu.
Lazio, who was not in the mood to fight, did not create difficulties for Real Madrid.
The young player, Higuaín, scored twice in the game. Robben and Qin Xiong each scored a goal. Real Madrid defeated Lazio cleanly at home with a score of 4: 0.
They won all six games in the Champions League group stage and advanced to the knockout stage with their heads held high.
Real Madrid's form began to make the whole of Europe tremble.
Many football commentators asserted that only the cooling of the winter break could make Real Madrid's form fall back!
December 16th, 16th round of the La Liga league.
Real Madrid played at home against the weak team, Osasuna.
Real Madrid, who had already made breaking through dense defenses a common occurrence, had a little bad luck. But with persistent efforts, the team attacked through a corner kick, and Pepe scored the opening goal with a header. Then Osasuna's defense loosened, and the goals came one after another.
Raúl scored two goals with overhead kicks in the second half of the game. Qin Xiong added the icing on the cake after Robben's long shot caused the goalkeeper to make a save.
Real Madrid defeated Osasuna at home with a score of 4: 0.
16 consecutive league wins were easy!
After the 16th round of the La Liga league ended, all the attention of the outside world began to turn to the next round of the La Liga league.
The El Clásico on December 23rd!
On the upcoming December 23rd, 2007, a century-old battle full of flavor and excitement would be presented as the closing game of the 2007 La Liga football season.
This was the first time in recent years that the El Clásico was scheduled to be played close to Christmas. For the Spanish fans, the careful arrangement of the professional league was equivalent to bringing forward Christmas Eve by 24 hours.
The focus of the media's discussion also began to change. They did not put too much emphasis on the gap between the two teams in the standings and the situation of the championship.
Because the game between Barcelona and Real Madrid had always been an isolated game.
How you were before, or what you had just done, had nothing to do with this game.
Whether you were good before, average, or terrible, it could not be used to predict this game. It was the same for both sides.
However, the outside world still believed that this game was full of milestone significance.
Either Barcelona ended Real Madrid's 16-game winning streak.
Or Real Madrid stepped on Barcelona at the Nou Camp to tie the record of 17 consecutive wins in the five major European leagues!
