In June, Qin Xiong took part in all four of the world's qualifiers and led the Chinese team to battle all over Asia, winning one battle after another!
In addition to slaughtering Thailand, the UAE also suffered a 0: 4 home defeat. After the China team won four consecutive victories, they successfully advanced to the top ten in the world qualifiers.
Qin Xiong would not play in the next two group matches. Arihan knew that Qin Xiong's physical condition had reached its limit and he needed sufficient rest.
On July 1st, Qin Xiong entered Sichuan!
The next afternoon, outside Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport, a row of buses was waiting.
Qin Xiong, wearing casual clothes with his personal brand logo, stood at the airport exit with his hands in his pockets and waited.
Order was maintained outside the airport. There were many reporters and fans waiting with Qin Xiong.
Qin Xiong had already taken enough photos. He also signed autographs and took photos with many fans and answered some simple questions from reporters. Now he was focused on welcoming his friends who were about to arrive.
At 2: 40 in the afternoon, the plane from Beijing to Chengdu arrived at Shuangliu International Airport.
Fifteen minutes later, Duan Xuan, who walked out of the airport with the crowd, saw Qin Xiong at a glance.
Qin Xiong smiled and walked forward to shake hands with Duan Xuan. Behind Duan Xuan were Liu Jianhong, Huang Jianxiang, He Wei, and other sports show hosts who loved football. When they came out, the surrounding reporters immediately picked up their cameras and took photos.
Although these hosts worked in front of the camera, they were not used to being crazily photographed by the reporters on both sides.
"This scene is a bit scary, Captain Qin. Although we are media people, this kind of scene is really rare."
Duan Xuan said with a smile.
Huang Jianxiang, who was behind him, teased, "Of course. We're used to taking photos of others and doing interviews for others. When will we ever be welcomed and chased by so many fans like big celebrities? Also, who in our industry would take photos of us like crazy? If there is an event to report, one or two photos will be enough. Not many people will read it if it is published, right? "
Qin Xiong gave them a rare compliment.
"Don't belittle yourself. You're all superstars today!"
After a few laughs, everyone shook hands with Qin Xiong. Tang Le led them to the bus and let them rest in the hotel first.
Qin Xiong was startled by the group of people who followed closely behind Duan Xuan.
The team that took the same flight as Duan Xuan's team from Beijing was the team that competed in the Beijing Olympic Games!
Because there were too many people on the trip, there was a delay in retrieving their luggage, so they came out a little later.
What left Qin Xiong speechless was that other than the team leaders, Xie Yalong and Nan Yong, the other members of the Beijing Olympic team, including the coaching team, the administrative staff, and the team doctor, were all present!
Moreover, the reason why Qin Xiong cursed in his heart was that the National Olympic Team, even the women's team was here!
Looking at the valiant Sonorous Rose, Qin Xiong really didn't know how to face the awkwardness.
Because the first thing that came to his mind was that he couldn't possibly let the men's team compete with the women's team, right?
If the female team was not allowed to play, why would they come? Sightseeing? That was definitely not possible.
A mixed team of men and women was even more inappropriate. What was the charity match?
Leading the team was the main coach of the National Olympic Team, Dujkovic.
Qin Xiong didn't know how much power he had, because according to the current situation of the National Olympic Team, Dujkovic seemed to have been taken over by Yan Tiesheng.
Was it a conflict or a benefit?
Qin Xiong didn't want to participate, or even understand.
Dujkovic walked to Qin Xiong and stretched out his right hand. Qin Xiong shook hands with him and said, "I'm sorry, I actually just wanted some players from the National Olympic Team to come here to support, and do some private communication to prepare for the Olympic Games. I didn't expect the Football Association to make such a big fuss. I'm sorry to have caused you trouble."
Dujkovic leaned in front of Qin Xiong and whispered, "At first, I also thought it was a bit of a fuss, but after thinking about it carefully, maybe this relaxed preparation environment can let the boys relax, and at the same time, it's the best way for you to integrate into a team with them. It's better than a serious and stressful preparation environment, isn't it?"
Qin Xiong nodded. Dujkovic's words were more realistic.
At this time, Yan Tiesheng took the initiative to come up and greet Qin Xiong. After shaking hands, he said, "When we heard that you could participate in the National Olympic Team for the Olympic Games, the boys were very excited. This is great. We have been worried that the National Olympic Team is too young and inexperienced. With you in charge, it is equivalent to giving the whole team a reassurance pill!"
Qin Xiong laughed a little awkwardly.
It seemed that when it came to China's football, it was a little different.
The National Olympic Team was inexperienced?
This was nonsense. The standard for the Olympic Games was the U23 national echelon. Even a world-class strong team might not have more than half of the U23 echelon's experience in major competitions. No matter how one looked at it, the overall experience of the team was insufficient.
If the National Olympic Team had rich experience in major competitions, then it would be strange!
In Ferguson's words, the Olympic Men's Football Competition should be set as non-professional athletes.
No one would care about the Olympic Men's Football Championship, because in the Grassi world, it was like getting first place in a middle school exam. It had nothing to do with graduating from university and going out of school to find a job.
Perhaps it was because the Olympic Games were held in China that the China Football Association attached so much importance to it. In the past, it did not seem to attach more importance to the National Olympic Team than to the National Team.
Just as Qin Xiong and Yan Tiesheng were talking, the members of the National Olympic Men's Football Team and the Women's Football Team behind the coaching team all stared at Qin Xiong with admiration.
When Qin Xiong noticed it, he looked around. The members of the men's team were fine, especially the players who had been transferred to the National Team and the players who had been transferred from the National Team to the National Olympic Team. They all nodded to Qin Xiong naturally.
Most of the players of the women's team subconsciously avoided Qin Xiong's gaze. Some even blushed, and some secretly looked at Qin Xiong again after avoiding him.
Qin Xiong smiled kindly at them, and then asked Tang Le to arrange for them to get on the bus and send the National Olympic Team to the hotel to rest first.
Turning his head to look at the bus that the National Olympic Team was on leaving, Qin Xiong's eyes flashed with a trace of worry.
Tang Le noticed that Qin Xiong had something on his mind. He walked up and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"
Qin Xiong frowned slightly and replied softly, "Didn't you notice? There are almost 50 people in the bus of the National Olympic Team. There are more than 40 players in the men's and women's teams. Even if the number is reduced, there are still two teams. "
Tang Le pondered carefully and suggested, "Why don't we just add a game? The women's team is special after all. We can add a friendly match for the women's football team. It will be a battle between the two sides of the National Olympic Team. They can only play half of the game. Think about it, it's quite unique."
Qin Xiong thought for a moment and finally could only do so.
