Even though London is an international metropolis, it still attaches great importance to urban greening and public sports infrastructure, with stadiums, fitness plazas, and parks everywhere.

Qin Xiong, who won the Community Shield and was hailed by the Chinese media as a five-time champion in 2004, jogged in the park early in the morning accompanied by a strength and conditioning coach.

After running for almost 40 minutes, he stopped, put the middle fingers of his left hand together on the pulse under his cheek, and raised his right wrist to look at the time on his sports watch.

As his pulse pulsed a little, he silently noted down the number of beats while thinking about the team in his mind.

After seizing the Community Shield, Arsene Wenger opened his mouth to give Vieira an ultimatum.

According to his understanding from the media, the reason why Vieira is considering a transfer to Real Madrid is mainly a matter of personal treatment, and in the years of frugality in Arsenal Province, even an eight-year veteran like Vieira cannot get a satisfactory remuneration from the club.

Arsenal's wage system is strictly indicated, and Henry is at the top of the pay pyramid, followed by Patrick Vieira, who is still not satisfied.

After watching the minute pass on his watch, Qin Xiong's left hand left the pulse position under his cheek, and he said to the physical trainer: "It feels okay, go on." ”

Today, the team is on holiday, and in addition to individual training, he will spend the rest of his time eating and sleeping.

You can't dare to do anything but sleep, and it is necessary to do some light exercises to maintain the most basic movement state of the body.

If training before the age of 18 is based on healthy growth, then from now on, Qin Xiong's training goal will also be to improve motor function as the main goal.

It's like a lot of people can build muscles. But that doesn't mean that muscular men will be stronger than men who look beautiful and strong.

In this kind of training. Changes in heart rate and pulse are important.

Freddie went to the Netherlands. As Qin Xiong's agent, he needs to help Qin Xiong take care of all the things in his life that will distract Qin Xiong, including Georgia and Sylvia, who make Qin Xiong never let go.

When he goes to the Netherlands, he will set up a bank trust account for Georgia, from which he will pay Georgia's tuition fees and monthly living expenses on a regular basis.

At this point, Qin Xiong communicated with Sylvia on the phone, and in order to convince Sylvia, he said something like this.

"I don't have a higher education, but I know how important education is to a person. I hope that Georgia can concentrate on his studies and make him a better person, this is a matter between me and him, it has nothing to do with you, and in the future when he grows up, I will ask him to return the one qiē fee I paid for him! ”

As for Sylvia, if she doesn't need to bear anything for Georgia's life, she is excellent in her own right, she has a scholarship every year, and she doesn't need financial assistance from others at all.

Qin Xiong's life now is very simple. He tried not to watch the news that exploded in front of him in front of him, there were too many. The energy of the European news hub is far from what it seems.

Especially with more news coverage, you may not be able to tell if the news is true or fake.

He spends his days in three activities: training and sleeping, eating.

He didn't ramp up his training during his first days in London, and when the club was done, he would go back to his apartment to rest.

In the team's training, he is very serious, but he has not yet reached the state of hard work in the past, and now he focuses on rest and physical reserves, and he has to arrange his training plan reasonably.

However, in the special training, Qin Xiong showed his strength that his teammates appreciated.

Passing and running coordination, organizational skills, awareness of reading shapes, grasping the overall situation, etc., especially in the 15-minute training competition before the end of training every day, he increasingly made his teammates recognize his strength.

Even though Arsene Wenger has stated that the decision to leave or stay is in Vieira's own hands, the club respects his decision.

Vieira finally broke his personal silence and said that he would stay with Arsenal instead of going to the Bernabeu to become a member of the Galaxy.

Before the start of the new Premier League season, Arsenal took a family photo of the team for the new season.

At the same time, Arsenal FC began to actively operate in the development of the Asian market.

They have noticed that after Qin Xiong's return, the team's No. 11 jersey sales are increasing day by day.

Attached is Arsenal's squad for the 2004-2005 season.

Goalkeepers: Lehmann, Taylor, Almunia.

Defenders: Lauren, Toure, Campbell, Ashley Cole, Senderos, Sigan, Klich, Hoyt, Swade.

Midfielders: Vieira, Silva, Pire, Ljungberg, Edu, Fabregas, Qin Xiong, Pennant, Flamini.

Forwards: Thierry Henry, Bergkamp, Jevos, Van Persie, Reyes, Arriatierre

On August 14, the 2004-2005 English Premier League season opener arrived.

Defending champions Arsenal travel to Goodison Park to take on Everton.

Qin Xiong was included in the squad for the game, but as a substitute.

Arsene Wenger asked him to watch the game carefully and get an up-close look at the style and atmosphere of the English game.

Everton are caught in the same problems as Arsenal before, with the transfer of key players in turmoil.

Wayne Rooney, England's new golden boy, is being contested by Manchester United and Chelsea, and has almost fallen out with manager David Moyes, which will affect the team's morale and preparation.

Arsenal's starting line-up at Goodison Park is the same as last season's winning squad.

With Thierry Henry's form rebounding after returning from injury, Arsenal defeated an unstable Everton 4-1 away from home and easily got the league opener.

It also extended Arsenal's unbeaten league record to 41.

(Note: Arsenal's unbeaten league record began with the last two games of the 02-03 season, and the 38-game unbeaten run in the 03-04 season extended to the 41st unbeaten unbeaten in the first game of the 04-05 season.) ）

Although Qin Xiong did not play, he carefully observed the style of the Premier League from the bench.

The biggest shock to him was the pace of the game.

Fast! Soon!

Even if the mistake is high, be fast!

And with the reaction of the fans in the stands, he can understand why the Premier League is so focused on physical confrontation.

England fans see this as the essence of confrontation on the football field, in the ancient times of English football, passing is regarded as surrender, head-to-head one-on-one competition, similar to one-on-one duel, that is the spirit of football that is advocated by people, passing with the ball to break through the opponent? It's Europeanized football, not English style of football.

In Spain, a defender's big kick might be frowned upon, but in England, a big kick is applauded by the fans.

There are too many fresh football styles and atmosphere characteristics that are impacting Qin Xiong's thinking.

He has also deepened his understanding of fitness and confrontation, and it can be said that because England advocates a wide open and closed style of football, the ability of players to run back and forth is even more demanding, and you can't guarantee that an opponent's big foot clearance will not create a very good counter-attacking opportunity.

The players pay more attention to the sense of confrontation, so that the football atmosphere created on the basis of local players on this field is to fight for every inch of land!

Physicality, confrontational awareness, essential elements to be based in the Premier League.

On the bus back to London, Arsene Wenger told the players: "It will be very difficult for us to defend our league title this season because we are champions and all the opponents want to break our unbeaten record and beat us to prove themselves. In addition to the old rivals Manchester United in the league, there is now our neighbour Chelsea, they have also become stronger than before, Chelsea, who was left behind by us last season, has gained a certain amount of self-confidence, plus there is a new manager, a new manager who is utilitarian and conservative for the sake of victory, you know who I am talking about, so you have to be spirited, every game can not be taken lightly, we are not to pursue the record of unbeaten games to play, we have to fight for the success of defending the title! ”

The competition in the Premier League is more fierce than ever, and that's obvious to all.

Because of this, even after the big score defeated Everton, the Arsenal players were only excited after the game.

Qin Xiong sat by the window of the bus, and Van Persie sat next to him, he turned his head to look out the window, and secretly thought: It's time to strengthen your muscles! (To be continued......)
