2016 is here. I wish everyone a happy New Year!
As usual, the beginning of the month explodes!
Six chapters today!
-----
China was particularly lively in August. Tourists from all over the world flocked to the city, most of them coming to experience the Olympic Games, which were held once every four years.
Qin Xiong often walked along the sidelines with his hands in his pockets after training at the Xianghe National Men's Football Training Base and bounced the ball.
The football seemed to have become one with him. Along with his steady steps forward, the football was bounced up and down rhythmically by his feet.
Outsiders could see that he had something on his mind.
Everyone just thought that Captain Qin was under pressure.
He was about to go to the Olympics and he was going to lead a young team.
No one would disturb him, thinking that this was the loneliness of a king.
The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.
But in reality?
Qin Xiong did not look down on the Olympics, but he was also relaxed. He would fight when he should, but he would not give himself unrealistic goals and burden himself with unnecessary pressure.
He was thinking about Real Madrid.
From the first day he came to Real Madrid, he had seen the cold-blooded side of the club.
Real Madrid had not really done anything to hurt him, even though he was the one who was in the situation.
But he was thinking more.
Snede called him last night and asked if he knew the real details about Ronaldo's soap opera.
Obviously, Snede was also worried.
Robinho could not stand the club's cold shoulder and the possible consequences of attacking Ronaldo, so he left.
He went to the Manchester City club to enjoy the best treatment, to be valued the most, and to be satisfied the most.
If Ronaldo was transferred over, what would happen to Sneijder?
Perhaps this question should not be considered by Qin Xiong.
Because it should be considered by the club's top management. They should be obliged to consider all aspects of the locker room environment, the psychological feelings of the players, and so on.
But the reality was different.
It was as if the management and the locker room understood football in different dimensions.
When the football fell, Qin Xiong used his shoulder to unload the force. Then he tilted his head slightly and stuck the football on his shoulder.
He sighed softly. After the great glory, the flowers did not bloom. The new season had not yet begun, but the internal people's hearts had already begun to show bad signs.
Qin Xiong, with his keen perception, could sense this.
It could be said that even in the depths of his heart, he felt unbalanced and resentful!
For Calderón to create what he called "the best Real Madrid in history," why couldn't he first treat the meritorious players well?
This was a puzzling question. Qin Xiong didn't understand and didn't want to think about it anymore.
He could only take it one step at a time.
The football slipped off his shoulder. In the process of falling, Qin Xiong lifted his right leg to bend and lift it back. The football was stuck behind his leg. After a gentle flick, he gently knocked the ball with the heel of his foot. The football fell into the ball bag two meters away from him.
.....
Two days later, Real Madrid officially announced the first summer signing.
Van Der Vaart joined Real Madrid from Hamburger SV for a transfer fee of 13 million euros!
The transfer fee was so low because Van Der Vaart only had one year left on his contract with the Hamburger SV team.
Calderón proudly announced the arrival of the first European Golden Boy winner at the Bernabéu.
He claimed that this was the signing that would allow Real Madrid to have the strongest offensive firepower!
Ronaldo did not come, but Van Der Vaart did.
It was an explanation to the fans.
Because people optimistically believed that three of the four-man Ajax attack group, who created the legend of the youth army, were already under Real Madrid!
Qin Xiong, Snede, Van Der Vaart!
They were only missing Ibrahimovic.
The Spanish media also looked forward to Van Der Vaart being able to quickly integrate into the team after his transfer to Real Madrid, like Snede did last season, especially to find the tacit understanding between former teammates.
If he could do it, Real Madrid would play fantasy football!
Van Der Vaart personally expressed a declaration similar to that of many players when they joined the Bernabéu.
"Joining Real Madrid was my childhood dream! Now, the dream has come true! "
After the announcement of Van Der Vaart's arrival, Van Der Vaart immediately threw himself into the preparations for the new season.
To his disappointment, Qin Xiong did not return to the team because he had to compete in the Olympic Games.
He always remembered that on his wedding day, other than Qin Xiong, no other former teammates came to his wedding. Instead, they went to Stekelenburg's wedding.
He looked forward to fighting side by side with Qin Xiong again, whether it was on the field or when they went to the red-light district together.
.....
No one could have predicted how bad Real Madrid's transfer work was this summer.
Real Madrid, who put most of their energy into bringing in Ronaldo but failed, could only bring in Van Der Vaart to report to the fans. The other transfer targets did not come to the Bernabéu this summer because of time.
The Spanish media thought that Real Madrid had entered a period of stability, and the flaws and problems that were so weak that they did not seem to exist had been thrown to the back of their minds.
The devil was in the details.
Bosque repeatedly asked to bring in a top center back and a top all-around midfielder, but Real Madrid's top management turned a deaf ear.
Real Madrid only really recruited one player this summer, and that was the former Dutch golden boy, Van Der Vaart.
.....
7: 45 p.m. on August 7.
Qin Xiong accompanied the Chinese Olympic team to the Shenyang Olympic Sports Center Stadium to face the first opponent of the Olympic men's football team group stage, the New Zealand team.
China's Olympic team, as the host, was not assigned to the best group.
Because there was the strong Brazilian team and the Belgian team in the same group.
The New Zealand team was the weakest of the three opponents.
Before the team played, Qin Xiong gave a speech in the locker room. He simply said one sentence.
"Just play according to the coach's requirements. Don't be too nervous and don't feel pressured."
The Shenyang Olympic Sports Center Stadium was full. Qin Xiong, as the captain, wore the captain's armband and led the China team to the field, receiving cheers from the fans.
"The first group stage of the Olympic men's football competition is about to begin. China's Olympic team will face the New Zealand team. Perhaps the players of the New Zealand team did not expect that they would be able to compete in the same field with the world's number one superstar, Qin Xiong!
Before the game, the chief coach of the New Zealand team said that he could not underestimate the China team because the China team had Qin Xiong!
Let's take a look at the lineups of the two teams.
China's starting lineup: 442.
Goalkeeper: Qiu Shengjiong.
