324 The Old Eighth Qin
Although Wenger claimed that Arsenal lost to luck after the game and Chelsea was lucky to tie the score at Highbury, all the Arsenal players knew in their hearts that in a 90-minute game, if you are in a very passive situation for more than 3 minutes and cannot cause any trouble for your opponent, it means that your loss risk will be very high.
It never takes too long to score a goal, dozens of seconds, dozens of seconds, or even less than ten seconds.
An objective fact must be admitted and given enough face: Chelsea has become strong enough to become a member of the top European team.
This is reflected in both the top league in England and the competitiveness in the Champions League.
The result of being able to escape from Highbury is itself a win from the side, Chelsea won!
After all, Arsenal has all the advantages of the land and people.
After the game, Qin Xiong took a shower and changed clothes in the locker room. He was not in a bad mood, but just a regret. At the same time, he was thinking about how to crack Chelsea's ultimate anti-counter tactics.
In fact, he also knew that his thinking might not have any meaning, but it was caused by inertia and he couldn't help thinking.
He put on casual clothes early, and seemed to be the first to leave the locker room. Henry, who had a bath towel around his waist, called him.
"Hey, will you attend the Golden Globes ceremony?"
When Qin Xiong heard Henry's question, he turned around and asked, "What are you going to do? Relax?"
Henry shrugged and pointed at Vieira and said, "I, he, you, and Reyes, we are all shortlisted for the Golden Globes 50-man roster, you should receive an invitation."
Qin Xiong really didn't expect this to happen, but it did exist. Freddy told him one day in the past, but he didn't take it seriously. After all, Qin Xiong is just an insignificant role for the Golden Globe Awards. Freddy doesn't think Qin Xiong will be the focus, so he just mentioned it casually.
Henry should be one of the popular candidates. In fact, since he was shortlisted for the Golden Globe Awards, he has been a familiar face in the Golden Globe Awards, but it has always been difficult to win the final throne, and he has accumulated a good popularity.
Reyes was shortlisted for the Golden Globe Awards as a newcomer. Qin Xiong is also a newcomer, but he still has the Champions League championship as capital, while Henry and Vieira belong to the national team and Arsenal unbeaten season as capital.
Qin Xiong thought about it and said, "I probably won't go. I went back to Asia last week and my body needs more rest."
Henry nodded to express his understanding. He said hello to Qin Xiong and went to change his clothes.
Qin Xiong drove away from Haibry and stopped on the street outside the court. Xi Weiya got into the passenger seat. She could see that Qin Xiong was not in high spirits because he was unable to win the game in the end, which must have been very frustrating for him.
Qin Xiong smiled at her, Xi Weiya leaned over and kissed him gently, but still said nothing, giving him a gentle smile
The next morning, Qin Xiong and Xi Weiya went shopping together to purchase. The refrigerator in the apartment was very large, but Qin Xiong would only put very few things in it when he lived alone. Xi Weiya was excited to make the home full of life.
How can food be without abundant ingredients?
There are paparazzi who will take pictures of Qin Xiong and Xi Weiya traveling together. Qin Xiong has become accustomed to it. As long as you are not harassed, it doesn’t matter what else.
When he returned home and sat in the back garden to rest, Qin Xiong looked at the dark sky and wondered if Christmas would be a cloudy day.
Xiweiya walked out of the living room, delivered his phone to him, and said, "It must have been ringing for the second time."
Qin Xiong looked at the caller ID. It was called by Sneider.
"Hi, Wesley, I haven't contacted you for a long time. How are you doing recently?"
"Well. It's okay, it's definitely not as good as last season anyway."
"Well, I'm following the news about Eredivisie, Ajax is indeed not as good as last season."
"It's useless to say this. I called to ask you, would you attend the Golden Globes ceremony?"
"I didn't have the chance to receive the award. Why do you want to go? Christmas is coming soon, there is no winter break in the Premier League, and I don't want to over-consuming it."
"Well, the Eredivisie is in the winter break, I have time, so I plan to go and have fun. If you change your mind, remember to call me."
"Okay, goodbye."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Xiong fell into deep thought.
The Golden Globes have a 50-person roster.
After returning home last night, he learned about the situation from Freddy.
He was indeed shortlisted for the 50-man Golden Globe Awards.
It doesn't mean he will win the award.
Many young generations of geniuses in European football have been shortlisted.
For example, Ronaldo, Rooney, Kaka, Vicente, Rosici
Some are shortlisted by outstanding performance in the European Championships, while others are based on excellent performance in club competitions.
Ajax, who won the Champions League last season, had four players shortlisted.
Qin Xiong, Sneider, Van der Fate, Ibrahimovic.
Of course, there are two players in it who are already representing other clubs.
After all, I am just accustomed to the top three and accumulate some popularity in the selection process. Not to mention being shortlisted for the top three, it may be difficult to squeeze into the top five and top ten.
Even though Freddy thoughtfully packaged Qin Xiong, he hoped that Qin Xiong would show more on the media platform and use media resources to increase his popularity and influence.
But for a grand event like the Golden Globe Awards Ceremony, Qin Xiong went there and didn’t go there.
Because he is not a popular one, even if the reporter takes his photos, it can be published in the headlines in newspapers or in key football news reports. I am afraid that no reporter will waste his time writing about Qin Xiong. They will leave the headlines to the Golden Globe winners and the news content to other top three or top five stars.
Arsenal will not have any games next week, so Qin Xiong can focus more on physical fitness adjustment.
Qin Xiong was not sure about the upcoming New Year's Devil Schedule. The fast pace of the Premier League and the intensity of the confrontation made him wonder whether he could persevere in the high-intensity game in the next month.
Xiweiya tried her best to decorate the apartment like a loving cottage, making the originally cool-toned home style much warmer. In addition to training, Qin Xiong lived a warm and lingering life with Xiweiya in the apartment, which made him feel very comfortable and his restrained sex-life seemed to make him more energetic, especially as he began to explore some tricks and accumulate more experience, and had a brand new life adjustment with Xiweiya.
On December 13, the Golden Globe Awards Ceremony was broadcast live, and Qin Xiweiya sat on the sofa at home to watch.
Qin Xiong seemed in a state of turmoil and had no expectations, so he could not feel lost.
2004 was a football year with many unpopularity.
Two of the most important events in Europe.
The Champions League champion belongs to the Ajax Youth Army.
The European Cup champion belongs to Greece in the Aegean mythology.
This has caused more speculations in the Golden Globe Awards selection.
Because no star in the Champions League and the European Cup champion team can be selected as the European Footballer.
If there are world-class stars or top-notch stars in these two teams, they will play a very important role in helping the team win the championship.
Then there will be almost no suspense for the Golden Globe winner, and it must be the player who won it.
Unfortunately, there are no such stars in Ajax and the Greek national team.
The final result was that AC Milan's leading striker Shevchenko won the Golden Globe Award with a relatively large advantage.
Ronaldinho, who was fascinated by fans in Barcelona, won second place.
The midfielder Deco, who represented Porto and Portugal, won the runner-up in two important events, won the third place.
Qin's ambition was as calm as water and was not affected at all.
However, when the next day, Qin Xiong was surprised after the media announced the rating rankings of all finalists.
The fourth place is Henry, who led Arsenal to the league unbeaten.
The fifth place is the captain of the Greek national team, Zagorakis.
The sixth place is Brazilian striker Adriano.
The seventh place is Czech midfielder superstar Nedved.
The eighth place is Qin Xiong.
Qin Xiong's score was 22 points, a very pitiful score, which was a huge difference from Shevchenko's 175 points.
England's new golden boy Rooney is behind Qin Xiong, and the score difference between the two is only 2 points.
It can be said that other players scored in addition to the Golden Globe winners have no meaning, because history only remembers the European Footballer.
However, the Chinese football media deliberately ignored the huge gap in the selection scores and listed Qin Xiong as the eighth contemporary star in European football!
It may even be exaggerated to say that Qin Xiong is very close to the European Golden Globe Awards
