After resting in Yokohama for two days, Bosque gave the entire Real Madrid team a holiday. The players went shopping together in groups, setting off waves of fans everywhere they went.
Qin Xiong accepted Sylvia's suggestion. Since he had come to Japan to participate in the Club World Cup, he would devote himself to it.
Yokohama set off a football craze. On the winter streets, young people could be seen wearing commemorative scarves of Real Madrid. The star players' travels were followed by the media.
6: 30 p.m. on December 21st.
At the Yokohama International Stadium, the European champion, Real Madrid, and the South American champion, Universidad Deportivo Quito, met in the final of the Club World Cup!
There were no empty seats in the stadium. Almost all of them were Japanese fans who came to support the game. They might not have heard the name of the Universidad Deportiva de Quito before the Club World Cup, but the name of Real Madrid was well-known.
They came to the stadium just to see their idols and to see the star-studded Real Madrid.
Bosque did not dampen their spirits. He sent all the main players he could send. Qin Xiong was in the lineup.
The game began amid the crazy shouts of the Japanese fans.
In terms of technical ability, the South American teams were not afraid of the European teams. But in terms of overall technical and tactical strength, the gap between the South American and European teams was widening every year.
Real Madrid might have been suppressed by Barcelona in La Liga, but that did not mean that Real Madrid had regressed to the point of no return. It meant that Barcelona had indeed stepped into the realm of super-class strength.
In this game against Universidad Deportivo Quito, Real Madrid easily dominated the situation by relying on their overall smooth teamwork. They obviously did not give it their all, but Universidad Deportivo Quito found it difficult to withstand.
In the 41st minute of the game, Qin Xiong and Van Der Vaart played a two-on-one in front of the penalty area. After passing the ball back to Van Der Vaart, he turned and plugged in. Van Der Vaart sent a wonderful pass straight. Qin Xiong cut into the penalty area and formed a one-on-one ball. He leisurely stabbed the ball into the far corner of the goal and won.
There were enthusiastic cheers in the stadium, but Qin Xiong seemed dispirited.
The overall technical and tactical strength of the South American champion was really underwhelming.
In terms of team running ability alone, they were at a disadvantage. There was a saying in Europe that the strength of a team was first built on the enthusiasm and stamina of running.
If a team had an absolute advantage in terms of physical fitness, they would often have a better chance of winning the match!
The Universidad Deportiva de Quito was known as the "weakest South American champion in history." The Real Madrid players did not know how they dominated in South America, and they were not interested in finding out.
However, he really wasn't interested in exchanging blows with his opponent in the competition.
He always felt that the gap between him and his opponent was too big.
In the second half of the game, Real Madrid naturally would not go all out and expend their energy endlessly in a Club World Cup match.
After taking control of the situation, Qin Xiong and his teammates constantly passed the ball to tear apart the opponent's defense line. The weakness of the Universidad Deportiva de Quito's overall tactical execution rate was infinitely magnified.
In the 59th minute of the match, Universidad Deportiva de Quito's right wing, whose defensive line was tilted back and forth, was blown up. Robben cut into the penalty area, received a direct pass from Gago and shot a volley to break the goal.
2:0
In the eyes of the audience, Real Madrid had already locked in the victory.
However, the Universidad Deportiva de Quito was not willing to lose the game.
In the wave of counterattacks that followed, their defensive line repeatedly showed loopholes.
Real Madrid appeared to be absent-minded. Raúl and Van Der Vaart each missed a golden opportunity. It was not until the 82nd minute of the game that Guti assisted with a long shot in front of the penalty area that the score was locked in at 3: 0.
At the end of the game, Real Madrid did not celebrate wildly for winning the title. Everyone just looked at each other and smiled, enjoying the cheers of the fans.
For them, it was a trip to relax their minds. They did not really come here to fight with their lives on the line.
The result of the current development of the situation was wonderful.
Qin Xiong and his teammates picked up the Club World Cup trophy and added another honor to their club's honor book.
Qin Xiong, who became the MVP of the game, immediately returned to the locker room to clean up after receiving the award. At this moment, he was anxious to return home.
The Real Madrid Club executives also knew that Qin Xiong's wife was waiting to give birth in Madrid. They booked a return ticket for him before the game.
The team stayed in Yokohama to rest for a day, and then they would enter the winter break and go their separate ways.
Qin Xiong and his team of personal trainers began the fatigue recovery work directly in the first-class cabin of the plane. The trainers relaxed his leg muscles for him, and Qin Xiong looked at the dark scene outside the window. He was slightly nervous.
He did not know if he could make it in time. He looked forward to seeing his child first.
On December 22nd, Qin Xiong returned to Madrid. He left the airport and went straight to the hospital.
At this moment, Sylvia was about to be pushed into the operating room for a cesarean section. Qin Xiong rushed from the end of the corridor. He took off his backpack on the way and threw it aside. He rushed to Sylvia's side and held her hand.
"Sorry, I came back late."
Qin Xiong opened his mouth to apologize, but Sylvia said gently to him, "Congratulations, you won another trophy. This is great. In the future, you can tell our child that this is the best gift for him. Don't worry about me. I heard from the doctor that I will be able to see our child when I wake up. "
Qin Xiong bowed his head and kissed her gently on the forehead. Then, under the pull of Freddy, he reluctantly watched as Sylvia was pushed into the operating room.
He waited anxiously outside. Freddy and George kept persuading him not to be too nervous.
Outside the hospital, there were also many media reporters lying in ambush. Some of them even planned to sneak into the hospital to take photos of Qin Xiong's child.
Qin Xiong was not in the mood to deal with the reporters at this time. Freddy came forward to issue a warning. As for what would happen in the future, it would have to wait until the child was born.
Qin Xiong didn't know how long he paced back and forth in the corridor. Finally, he waited until the end of the cesarean section.
When the door of the operating room opened, Qin Xiong rushed up and almost knocked down the doctor who came out. He almost lost his composure and held the doctor's shoulders and growled, "How is my wife? How is she? "
The doctor was a little dizzy. It took him a lot of effort to calm down. He quickly said to Qin Xiong, "Mother and child are safe. Mother and child are safe!"
After hearing this, Qin Xiong finally felt relieved. He turned to Freddy and George and smiled excitedly.
"Did you hear that? The doctor said that mother and child are safe! "
A few minutes later, Qin Xiong saw Sylvia, who was still in a coma, and his first child.
A boy!
