With the momentum of seven consecutive Premier League wins, Arsenal went to Nordic to challenge Rosenberg in the second round of the Champions League group stage.
It was a difficult game, and it was still a 1:1 score until the 80th minute of the game. Five minutes before the end of the game, Qin Xiong took the free kick and made a goalkeeper save the goal. Vieira made a follow-up shot in the penalty area and sent the ball into the goal.
Arsenal won the second victory in the Champions League group stage and led the group.
Before the IA match day in October, Arsenal, who returned to the British arena, won the eighth league victory. They once again ushered in the London derby at home, but their opponent was the tepid Charlton, who was beaten by Arsenal with a score of 5:0. Qin Xiong scored twice in the game, showing his good competitive state.
As the IA game day arrived, Qin Xiong took a plane back to China, and Freddy walked with him.
On the plane, Freddy arranged the schedule for Qin Xiong this month.
"You can only return to London on the 15th. In that case, you should not be able to play in the ninth round of the Premier League, or be arranged by the head coach as a substitute. After all, you still have to make a jet lag. I think it's time to arrange for you to take the driver's license test in the second half of the month. Have you ever thought about what kind of car to buy during this period?"
Qin Xiong shook his head calmly and said, "I don't know how to use a car, and I usually just go back and forth to the club and go out for dinner or party with my friends. There are no special requirements for buying a car."
After living in London for two months, he also noticed that there are many glorious young people in the international city of London. Perhaps they have successful careers or good family backgrounds. They drove a cool car to hook up with girls, which was a bit cool.
But I don't envy it. After all, he has no time or leisure to hang out around in a luxury car.
Freddy nodded in a clear mind, and he was thinking about getting in touch with some high-end automobile general agents in Europe, and maybe he could develop new commercial cooperation.
Qin Xiong did not make much noise when he returned to China this time. After all, he just returned to China on a routine basis to represent the national team in the World Cup qualifiers.
He took a day off in a hotel in Beijing to adjust the time difference, and then went to Xianghe National Football Training Base to report. He met with his teammates for a three-day training camp, and then the national team boarded the plane to Kuwait.
Since the Chinese team defeated Kuwait in the first leg of the World Cup group stage, with a total of 6 games, the Chinese team won four consecutive victories, and Kuwait had 3 wins and 1 loss. As long as the Chinese team did not lose to Kuwait in the fifth game, the Chinese team basically locked in the group qualifying place, the only qualifying place.
After all, the Chinese team faced Hong Kong in the last game in the group stage, and it was also at home. Even if they tied with Kuwait, they would not lose to Hong Kong in the last game. They would definitely be able to qualify.
Chinese media have once again put forward the slogan of "qualifying if you tie"!
Kuwait's overall strength is not strong. The Chinese team is inspired by the great spirit of winning the Asian Cup, and with the leadership role of Qin Xiong as the captain in the team, when preparing for this game, his seriousness and seriousness have inspired his teammates, making them confident but not conceited, calm but not pessimistic.
Alihan changed the style of playing for both forwards in this game. Hao Haidong was taken down and Zhao Junzhe joined the midfield to participate in the defense. The Chinese team will use the tactics of defensive counterattack to deal with the inevitable mad attack that will occur in Kuwait.
In Kuwait City, the Chinese team led by Qin Xiong faced Kuwait with a defensive attitude.
Kuwait knew that it was necessary to win to obtain the right to qualify, so they launched a radical offensive from the beginning of the game.
There have been several dangerous situations in the Chinese team's penalty area, but driven by Qin Xiong's stable control of the field after several times from defense to offense, not only did he give his teammates more time to relieve their tension, but he also made his teammates' mentality more calm.
Until the 56th minute of the second half of the game, Qin Xiong dribbled the ball from the backcourt and staged a long-distance raid. After drifting past three players in Kuwait in a row, he assisted Shao Jiayi, who followed him forward on the side to score. The game became easier after the Chinese team opened the goal account away.
Kuwait continued to increase troops to the offensive line, making their defense increasingly empty. Qin Xiong continued to instigate threatening counterattacks.
In the 74th and 86th minutes, Zhang Pengfei and Li Jinyu scored one goal respectively. It was not until the end of the game that Kuwait scored a goal through a corner kick.
At the end of the game, the Chinese players cheered with great excitement.
"After winning Kuwait 3:1 away, the Chinese team has confirmed the qualifying for the World Cup group stage. What will be waiting for them next year is the quarterfinals of the World Cup. There are 4.5 places in the Asian qualifiers in the World Cup. In other words, if the Chinese team wants to advance to the World Cup, they must get the top two places in the group. If they only get that half of the quota, it will be a big disaster. We hope that the Chinese team can draw a good draw in the quarterfinals and can also successfully advance to the 2006 German World Cup!"
Qin Xiong is not very excited about defeating Kuwait, which is equivalent to qualifying in the Champions League group stage and does not mean anything.
On the plane back to Beijing, he took the initiative to talk to Alihan and told the other party that he hoped not to return to China to participate in the next World Cup qualifiers and Hong Kong.
Alihan expressed his understanding and agreed with Qin Xiong's request.
When walking out of the airport with a shoulder bag, Qin Xiong saw many Chinese fans waiting outside the airport for a long time. They were welcoming the triumph of the Chinese team. Even if they have not yet confirmed their promotion to the World Cup, they can also be happy to qualify in advance in the group.
Qin Xiong was used to this scene and also to having bodyguards who would escort him away from the airport one step ahead of time.
Just as he stepped out of the exit, he heard a familiar voice. He stopped and glanced back and forth at the crowd on both sides who were blocked by the security guards' yellow lines. Suddenly, he stood there in a daze, looking incredibly at the blonde girl who kept waving at him.
He couldn't help but walk over and stretch out his hand to pull her out of the crowd. His bodyguard saw Qin Xiong's movements and realized that it was Qin Xiong's acquaintance, so he did not stop him.
Qin Xiong took off his sunglasses and asked with a smile of surprise: "Why are you here?"
The one in front of him was Xiweiya.
Xiweiya smiled and said, "I'm waiting for you."
Qin Xiong's expression was even more shocked.
She speaks Chinese. Although she emphasizes it a bit weird, it is really Chinese.
The surroundings suddenly fell into a brief tranquility. Qin Xiong looked around and saw Chinese fans staring at him and Xi Weiya with curious eyes. The teammates behind him also stopped and looked at Qin Xiong with a smile on his face.
Qin Xiong said to Xi Weiya, "Change a different place and follow me."
He took Xiweiya's hand and got out of the car with the bodyguard.
As soon as he got into the back row of the car and closed the door, Qin Xiong turned around and held her face with both hands and kissed her passionately.
After a while, when both of them were blushing, Qin Xiong blocked her forehead and said, "It's not a dream, right? Why are you in China? I planned to go to Amsterdam to see you next month."
Xiweiya smiled slightly and said, "Because I have been in China."
"Hmm? What does it mean? Wait, why do you keep talking to me in Chinese?"
Qin Xiong found it ridiculous.
He was speaking English, but Xiweiya was speaking Chinese to him.
Xiweiya smiled even more and said, "I said, I have been in China and I have been learning Chinese every day. Chinese is very difficult, but my classmates praised me for learning well!"
Qin Xiong's expression became solemn, saying, "Are you in China? Going to school here?"
Xiweiya nodded, and then told Qin Xiong about her coming to China for study as an exchange student at the University of Amsterdam. Although it was a mix of Chinese and English, Qin Xiong never joked about her.
Qin Xiong held her hand, kissed the back of her hand gently, shook his head slightly, "Xiweiya, no need to do this. I know what it feels like to live in a strange environment. I will feel lonely in a foreign land and longing for my relatives. You don't have to make such sacrifices for me and feel wronged."
Xiweiya also smiled and shook her head, saying, "No, you don't understand. Just like now, I speak to you in simple Chinese and understand Chinese culture a little more than before. You can't understand the happiness in my heart. This is my happiness, happier and happier than ever."
