Ajax party in the away dressing room at the Valedos Stadium.

You can't imagine a group of men jumping around a cramped space in just their underwear, playing music like they're swinging on a dance floor in a nightclub.

Qin Xiong returned to the locker room to change into clean clothes, and when he saw the appearance of his teammates, as if he had seen a group of demons dancing, he quickly took a T-shirt and put it on his body and left.

After leaving the court, Qin Xiong seemed to be a different person, he lost the wild and unrestrained on the green field, lost his aggressive attitude, he became quiet, with a soft faint smile on his face, and attended the post-match press conference with Koeman, after he sat down, he first picked up the mineral water on the table and drank half a bottle, and then put the mineral water bottle back in its place, quietly watching the reporters in the audience.

Most of them are Dutch and Spanish football journalists, with only a few from other European countries.

They first interviewed Koeman, in a question-and-answer format.

Koeman faced the reporter's question and naturally answered it.

'Even though the win came at the last minute, I think Ajax deserved to win, and throughout the game we played more aggressively than Celta, creating chances and taking more shots than our opponents, which means we have a strong desire to win and we want to go further in the Champions League, so I'm happy that the players were as I thought and that we achieved the goal."

"Who is the best player at the table? Does this need to be asked? He was sitting right next to me, and people who watched the game would never ask such a question with a clear answer. ”

Koeman did not comment on Qin Xiong's expression with a "warning" attitude as he did more than a month ago.

After the big game, Qin Xiong's appearance has already made Koeman know in his heart, and he is sure that Qin Xiong's mental temperament is far more mature than other players of the same age.

This may have something to do with the fact that he grew up as an orphan and an independent and self-reliant environment.

Koeman now makes no secret of his love and respect for him, which further establishes Qin Xiong's status in the team.

This status has nothing to do with technology and tactics.

Instead, in the locker room, let Qin Xiong have the right to speak.

He should have it, because the energy he was able to burst out at critical moments surpassed that of his teammates.

When the reporters changed the subject to Qin Xiong, Qin Xiong sat upright, facing it in a rather formal and stern way.

No European journalist would care where Qin Xiong came from, and would not ridicule or make things difficult for him because he was from China, which is very amateurish and stupid.

Or else?

Could it have been that someone had ever made things difficult for George Weah?

Will anyone look at Litmanin with colored eyes?

Football, in the final analysis, speaks with strength.

Any attempt to confuse or judge a player based on external extraneous factors is unprofessional and absurd.

Just like Brazil, Argentina, Spain, Italy, Germany and other football powers, don't there still be a lot of parallel players who can't get on the table?

Could it be that because they come from a football powerhouse, they will definitely be looked down upon?

The person who will look at the player with this kind of vision can only say that he does not understand football at all, and he is insulting football.

Journalists were very interested in Qin Xiong.

A reporter asked: "What would you say about your performance in this game?" ”

Qin Xiong shook his head and said: "The football philosophy I received at Ajax is to never be satisfied, never to be satisfied with my performance on the field, so as to promote our progress every day, as for evaluation? That's not what I should think about, maybe I think I'm good enough, but in the eyes of the manager, that's not enough, and I think the manager's evaluation will be more objective and correct, and in this regard, he should listen to other people's voices. ”

'So what do you think of Ajax's future in the Champions League after the game?'

Qin Xiong cleared his throat, still a little uncomfortable facing the camera.

"Of course we will try to win every game, whether it is the Champions League, or the league, the outside world cannot affect us, after the defeat to AC Milan, I saw a lot of reports in the newspapers that Ajax has 'died' in this season's Champions League, but, thanks to our efforts, we are now back in control of our destiny, the bad situation has improved, in fact, no matter what the standings are like, what the qualifying shape is like, in the face of the next opponent, what we will always pursue is to beat each other! So, in the last game against Club Brugge, we never changed our mindset and went all out to win. ”

In fact, Qin Xiong is still psychologically prepared to deal with reporters, Freddie gave him some public relations counseling, teaching him what to say and what not to say when facing reporters.

There is one thing that is similar to the European football media and the Chinese football media, that is, the curiosity about Qin Xiong, and the speed at which he rose to fascination at Ajax, which can also be called the process of striving for the top position.

The only difference is that the Chinese football media may be building momentum with a boastful starting point.

The European professional media is because veteran journalists understand that it is very difficult to get ahead at a club like Ajax.

Qin Xiong went from a young player who joined Ajax on a free transfer on the eve of the summer transfer window to become a core player of Ajax in the key Champions League three months later.

Speaking of this, Qin Xiong glanced at Coman and said: "I am very grateful to Ajax FC for giving me the opportunity, every coach has done their best to nurture me, push me to improve, grow, improve, and be able to get so many opportunities in the first team, which is inseparable from the attention of the head coach Koeman, he gave me the opportunity to show myself and prove myself." ”

Qin Xiong still doesn't know about Koeman's rivalry with Louis van Gaal within the club, but he hasn't actually been affected by the power struggle at the top.

Comparing hearts to hearts, whoever is Koeman is replaced, it is impossible to be willing to be a puppet in the head coach position, and Van Gaal will accept it directly if he is forced to give it to him.

And Koeman's professional attitude is to understand, discover, and then judge, he thinks that Qin Xiong is qualified to enter the first team, then he will not hesitate to recruit Qin Xiong, which has nothing to do with the contradictions between Van Gaal.

And Van Gaal only recommended Koeman as a role-based player from a technical and tactical point of view, but Koeman really wanted to have a lot of concerns, and gave Qin Xiong more, including the team's tactical status and the current locker room status.

Qin Xiong and Coman staged the plot of "master and apprentice concentric" in the interview, which seems to outsiders to be harmonious, and it can be regarded as a positive model of master-apprentice love in football.

Veteran journalists in European football know the trajectory of success in football.

If you are not talented, you will be successful.

That sentence is very apt: Maxima often has, but Bole does not often have.

Koeman is not a famous coach, and he can't talk about how high his status is in the coaching circle, but he attaches great importance to Qin Xiong, and his intention to promote and cultivate Qin Xiong will make Qin Xiong remember it for a lifetime.

He is the leader of Qin Xiong's most critical step in his career!

The reason is simple.

Koeman didn't give Qin Xiong a chance, and Qin Xiong has a contract with Ajax, he can't get the game training, and he can't improve just by training.

And Qin Xiong doesn't get the opportunity to show himself, so no club from the outside world will be interested in him, where is his next stop after leaving Ajax?

God knows

Even if he is gifted and talented, he may only stumble at the most critical age and eventually sink.

There are too many examples of this in the football circle, where a player who has ruined himself with a wrong decision, and has gone in the direction of delaying his youth at a fork in the road, and when someone is most needed to "discover" and "give a chance", without this person, then the story of the fall of genius turning into a wound Zhongyong is commonplace.

After the press conference, Qin Xiong returned to the locker room, his teammates had already taken a shower and changed their clothes, and they were still humming songs and talking happily together.

Qin Xiong hurriedly took a shower, then changed into casual clothes and left the Valedos Stadium with his teammates, boarded the team bus and rushed to the airport, where they will return to Amsterdam overnight.

Over the weekend, a big war awaits them.

The third biggest club in the Netherlands, Feyenoord will travel to the Amsterdam Athletic Stadium.
