After the China team defeated the North Korean team, Qin Xiong, as the team captain, was interviewed by the post-match reporters.
"The China team has won two games in a row since your return. Now they have defeated North Korea and taken second place in the group. Whether or not they will represent China in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa is now fully assured. After all, with and without you, the strength of the China team will change dramatically."
The reporter might be telling the truth, but Qin Xiong could not tell the truth.
He shook his head and said, "I don't agree with you. First of all, the China team has not been confirmed to advance. We still have to play against the South Korean team in the last two games. Whether we can advance to the World Cup finals or not, it is still not certain."
As for the reporter's words, Qin Xiong was too lazy to refute. It was meaningless.
This was also a well-known thing.
As the spiritual leader of the China team, his personal strength had significantly improved the team.
"The China team's performance in this game can be said to be the best game in the world's preliminary group stage. What do you think is the key to victory? Is it your personal play? You created five goals by yourself. "
Qin Xiong still shook his head and said, "Unity, tacit understanding, tactical execution, mentality, the China team's progress is obvious to all. The victory was not won by me alone, but by the efforts of the team."
This was indeed Qin Xiong's heartfelt words. Compared to the past few years, the China team's progress was obvious. He could feel it in the game. Although he still could not play to his full strength, the team had almost reached the limit of strength.
After all, players like Li Weifeng, Sun Jihai, Sun Xiang, Zheng Zhi, Shao Jiayi, and so on were already senior players who were in the golden age.
As for whether Han Peng, Yang Zhi, Feng Xiaoting, and other young players still had room for improvement, this could not be looked at separately. Because when they reached the golden age and the peak of their strength, then Li Weifeng and other players might have reached the end of their career and were close to retirement. They still needed to cultivate a new generation of successors.
The China team left Pyongyang with the joy of victory. After returning to China, Qin Xiong directly transferred to Madrid at the Capital International Airport.
After returning home to rest for two days, Qin Xiong and his Real Madrid teammates threw themselves into the preparation for the weekend league tournament.
Now, the only goal left for them was the La Liga championship.
But because of the mistakes made in the first half of the competition, Real Madrid was now unable to control its fate.
This was football. The crueler the competition, the more it required not to make mistakes.
Even the slightest mistake could ruin a match, a championship, or even a season's worth of hard work!
April 4th.
Real Madrid went to challenge Malaga in an away game.
Due to the influence of FIFA, Real Madrid's overall performance in this game was not ideal. The game had been in a stalemate until the 66th minute of the second half, when Qin Xiong sent a wonderful pass to Higuaín in the front field. It was only then that Smoker scored the only goal of the game.
1:0
Real Madrid won the game.
In the same round, Barcelona's state also declined due to the influence of FIFA. In the away game, Eto 'o killed Valladolidad. The score was also 1: 0.
The competition between the two La Liga giants attracted the attention of the entire European football world. Everyone knew that whoever made a mistake at this time could completely lose the qualification to compete for the league title.
A week later, in the 30th round of the La Liga Championship, Real Madrid faced the challenge of Valladolidad at the Bernabéu Stadium.
Real Madrid, who could focus on the league tournament, adjusted their state quickly and well. They did not have to be distracted elsewhere.
In view of Real Madrid's winning streak in the league tournament after their defeat at Anfield, the La Liga heroes seemed to realize that it was unrealistic for them to use Liverpool's tactics to restrain Real Madrid.
As a result, many teams returned to their previous posture when facing Real Madrid: defense!
Blindly defense!
At the Bernabéu, Qin Xiong used two long shots to penetrate Valladolidad's goal twice. One of the shots was an elevator shot that the fans loved to talk about. Snede and Raúl each scored a goal.
Real Madrid played a 4: 0 victory at home!
Barcelona, who had to be distracted in the European game in the same round, did not continue their crazy momentum.
However, they got an economical three points from Welva.
On April 18, the 31st round of the La Liga Championship began.
Real Madrid counted the rounds with their fingers. The final stage of La Liga had already begun. In the eighth last round of the game, they were the guests to challenge Silva, who had just been defeated at the Camp Nou.
Silva was almost absolutely defensive in this game, giving up any offense to stop Real Madrid's advance.
After 80 minutes of not being able to break through the door, at the crucial moment, Qin Xiong stood up again.
In the 86th minute of the game, he was fouled by the opponent when he received Robben's pass after plugging into the penalty area. The referee awarded a penalty kick to Real Madrid.
This decision put the Silva players on the verge of collapse. They were about to get a point from Real Madrid, but now all their efforts were about to go down the drain.
The players of the two teams almost broke out in a conflict. Qin Xiong was the main character in the whirlpool. The opponent accused him of diving, and Qin Xiong argued angrily. He showed the opponent his calf that was kicked. Not only was his stocking torn, but it was also bleeding.
When the argument was over, Raúl scored the penalty kick and brought Real Madrid three hard-won points.
In the same round of the game, Barcelona was the guest to challenge Getafe. Barcelona, who were distracted by the Champions League, came to the most difficult stage. They changed their explosive momentum in the first half of the season and chose to be conservative with relatively low consumption.
In the end, Messi's individual play killed Getafe, bringing three points to Barcelona and still letting Barcelona lead Real Madrid by four points!
The Catalan media unanimously believed that Barcelona must maintain a four-point lead over Real Madrid before the arrival of the El Clásico. Otherwise, Barcelona may be at risk of collapse!
Real Madrid had the pressure of a pursuer, and Barcelona also had the pressure of a leader!
The 32nd round of La Liga was held in the middle of the week.
Real Madrid ushered in the Madrid mini derby. Getafe came to the Bernabéu to play a big game with Real Madrid. When the 90-minute game was over, the numbers on the scoreboard were particularly shocking.
6:2
Qin Xiong's five assists shocked the European media.
In the words of the media, he could score goals on the front line, and he was the guarantee of assists when he returned to the midfield!
Barcelona also improved in this round. They massacred Sevilla at Camp Nou with a score of 4: 0!
There were still six rounds of La Liga.
Barcelona was still four points ahead of Real Madrid!
