When countless fans in China were celebrating China's Olympic team entering the top eight of the Olympic Games, and countless China sports writers were excitedly writing that China's Olympic team had broken through and created a new history for the team in the Olympic Games.
In the locker room of the Shenyang Olympic Sports Center Stadium, the players of China's Olympic team were cheering and celebrating their victory. But when they saw Qin Xiong, who was sitting on the chair in front of the wardrobe, taking off his shoes, socks, and throwing away his leg pads, everyone suddenly fell silent. The atmosphere in the locker room fell from enthusiasm to an ice cellar!
Qin Xiong's two calves had scars from being scraped by studs, bruises from being kicked, and even wounds left by studs piercing into the flesh!
This scene was a little shocking.
All his teammates and coaches could see how many times Qin Xiong had been knocked down by the Belgian players on the field. Most of the time, two or three players used fierce defensive moves to chop off his legs.
However, every time Qin Xiong climbed up from the ground, he seemed to be as calm as the wind and clouds, making people unable to feel worried.
It was not until this moment that the scene in front of them seemed to tell everyone how much Qin Xiong had sacrificed and how much pain he had suffered. While it made everyone feel sad and distressed, they also respected Qin Xiong!
Every time he fell, it was a small setback. Every time he was violated, it was a small pain. However, Qin Xiong would stand up again without any change in his expression!
Many young players suddenly sighed in their hearts. This is why he is the world's number one superstar!
He shouldered the responsibility. He faced the wind and rain calmly and strongly. He would never fall down easily!
Qin Xiong felt tired. He leaned against the wardrobe and closed his eyes to rest. The team doctor came to treat the wounds on his calves. He was used to being injured after the game and receiving treatment from the team doctor while resting.
After a lot of practice, he was already calm and indifferent.
On the contrary, his teammates seemed to ignite a fire in their hearts when they saw this scene.
Captain Qin carried too much and too heavy a burden!
No one cheered loudly to celebrate the victory. It was as if they did not want to disturb Qin Xiong's rest.
Everyone consciously took off their jerseys to take a shower, then came back to change into the Olympic special edition sportswear and prepared to leave.
At this time, Chen Tao accidentally bumped into the wardrobe, making a loud noise. Everyone looked in the direction of the noise. Chen Tao was like a bird startled by the twang of a bow. He wanted to cry but had no tears to shed. He cast an apologetic look at everyone and then went to see if Qin Xiong was disturbed.
She saw Qin Xiong leaning against the wardrobe and falling asleep.
After the team doctor finished treating the wounds on Qin Xiong's legs, he stood up and asked Yan Tiesheng if he should wake Qin Xiong up.
Yan Tiesheng did not dare to be arrogant when dealing with the legendary superstars of China's football world who had been deified. He even felt like he was treading on thin ice.
At this time, he did not know what to do. Fortunately, Liu Yi came forward and said, "You guys go first. I'll call his wife and ask her to come and pick him up. He's sleeping soundly now. I'll stay here with him for a while."
Liu Yi stayed. He sat next to Qin Xiong and watched the players, coaches, team doctors, and management staff in the locker room leave one after another. The cleaners came in to clean up the mess in the locker room and then left.
The burly Liu Yi sat next to Qin Xiong. At some point, Qin Xiong's head tilted. He leaned his head on Liu Yi's shoulder and continued to sleep.
Qin Xiong was too tired. Not only did he have two games in three days, but he also had to go back and forth from Beijing to Shenyang to attend the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. He continued to fight from beginning to end in Real Madrid last season and did not have a long rest. He attended every FIFA match day in June and went to Sichuan to organize a charity match in July. He also had some commercial activities, and then he prepared for the Olympic Games. Until today, he did not know where his limit was. But listening to the cheers of countless China fans, he could deeply feel the expectations of countless fans. He could only tell himself at this time: do your best!
He slept soundly and comfortably, but he did not know that Liu Yi had been sitting next to him motionlessly for a long time. His right shoulder was already numb. Only the lights in the distance were still on in the locker room, so that Qin Xiong would not be stimulated by the strong light.
Qin Xiong woke up. After he opened his eyes, he was not surprised at all. He saw Sylvia staring at his soft and beautiful face, as if everything was so natural. Qin Xiong's mouth curved into a pleasant arc. His smile was gentle and his lips moved slightly.
"I'm sorry to have worried you."
Liu Yi slowly stood up, moved his right arm and said, "Your wife is sitting in front of you and listening to you snoring like a pig for five hours. It's already three o 'clock in the morning. I hope the stadium's passageway is not closed."
Qin Xiong raised his chin slightly and looked at Liu Yi's back as he left without saying a word. His eyes were soft, and his heart was full of warmth. He withdrew his gaze without any gratitude in his heart.
Liu Yi must have been with him for more than five hours, and it was after a fierce game exhausted his energy. If it were someone else, Qin Xiong would be moved. But Liu Yi, Qin Xiong would not.
Because if it were him, he would do the same, just like when they were young.
Sylvia stepped forward to help the exhausted Qin Xiong up. She put her arm around his waist and walked out.
"Darling, let's go home."
Qin Xiong and Sylvia left the Shenyang Olympic Sports Center Stadium with their arms around each other. They took a car back to the hotel to rest.
In fact, the Chinese Olympic team's coaching staff had long known that Qin Xiong's physical condition was not ideal. This could be seen during the preparation. In addition, the scene of him falling asleep directly in the locker room after the victory over Belgium was also somewhat touching.
Dujković and Yan Tiesheng withstood the pressure and did not include Qin Xiong in the list for the game between the Chinese Olympic team and the Brazilian Olympic team three days later.
The slogan shouted by the Chinese football media before the game was: Compete with the Brazilian team for the first place in the group!
The Brazilian Olympic team and the China Olympic team had already qualified together. Both teams had won two games and had six points. The Belgium Olympic team and the New Zealand Olympic team had lost both games and had zero points.
The fans were also looking forward to a "strong match" between the China Olympic team and the Brazilian Olympic team.
The Brazilian Olympic team was led by Ronaldinho and the China Olympic team was led by Qin Xiong. At least in the eyes of the optimistic fans, this would be a well-matched game.
Unfortunately, Qin Xiong did not play and was not even on the list.
The Brazilian team, on the other hand, sent Ronaldinho, Pato, Ramires, Thiago Silva, Diego, Marcelo and other main players.
In the competition for the first place in the group at the Qinhuangdao Olympic Sports Center Stadium, the China Olympic team was passive throughout the game. The Brazilian Olympic team completely suppressed the China Olympic team with their superb team technical ability.
Putting aside the fans' disappointment, the content of the game was still able to let the China Olympic team see the gap between themselves and the world-class team!
Qin Xiong watched from the sidelines. He was not surprised that the situation of the game would be one-sided.
Just like Real Madrid where he was, many opponents were also one-sided. The team's technical and tactical suppression was very obvious.
