In the second half of the game, Qin Xiong was still working hard. He tried his best to focus his attention on the overall situation, to contribute to the team and to play his strengths.

However, things backfired.

The sneakers that had been cleaned in the midfield were filled with water in less than 2 minutes after the start of the second half. There was no way, there were too many places with water in the stadium.

Not only is the accumulation of water in the sneakers interfering with running, but also, the pain!

The sneakers were not suitable, and the feet rubbed against the shoes repeatedly. Qin Xiong didn't know how many abrasions and wounds his feet had.

But such a small wound stings from time to time, and the body will have an instinctive conditioned reflex, as if several bugs are biting intermittently on different places on both feet.

It even made him unable to maintain coherence in running.

He still didn't play his due level, and the situation in the second half was completely different from the first half!

In the first half, he was able to formulate short passes too much. The mistake was due to his unstable center of gravity, and his body balance was not easy to maintain on the slippery field.

But in the second half, his short pass also had problems.

In the 54th minute, he was about 10 meters away from Sneijder, and he made a short pass. The football suddenly slowed down when it rolled over an area of ​​water. But it was controlled by Groningen's full-back.

Koeman made a decisive decision on the sidelines.

Substitution!

Although he expected Qin Xiong to perform better, but the current situation is that he doesn't want to struggle any longer.

In particular, he was worried that going on like this would deal a blow to Qin Xiong's confidence!

It is a kind of protection.

After all, Qin Xiong has too little professional arena experience, and his ability to deal with competitions in different environments needs to be improved.

In such an environment, veterans are often able to play at a more stable level, with rich experience, strong adaptability, and full psychological preparation.

In the 56th minute, the referee suspended the game when the ball was dead and signaled for a substitution on the sidelines.

Veteran Litmanen stood on the sidelines, waiting for Qin Xiong to end.

In the stands, the Groningen fans jeered and booed viciously to this strange Asian player.

Of course they hope to completely destroy Qin Xiong's confidence, since he is not a young talent in their club anyway.

In the stands, the three old men of Lutmanson calmly encouraged Qin Xiong by applauding, while Freddie rested his forehead and bowed his head, his whole body was lifeless.

Qin Xiong's friends were silent, and they could only applaud silently to support this friend.

Qin Xiong didn't show a trace of negative emotion. After playing the substitution card and showing his number, he quickly ran off the field and made a substitution with Litmaning.

Coman was still standing in the wind and rain. Qin Xiong walked behind him and walked straight to the bench.

The team is behind, and everyone's attention is on the game at this time.

On the bench, only De Jong and Stekelenburg looked expressionlessly at the pitch while raising their hands. Qin Xiong patted their palms one by one, and then sat down beside De Jong.

He took off his jersey, took the warm jacket from the assistant coach and put it on, then bent down to take off his sneakers, socks, and shin pads.

De Jong turned his head and glanced at Qin Xiong's feet, his eyes changed slightly.

But what he could see was that Qin Xiong's feet had a total of five wounds, oozing fine bloodshot wounds, which looked like worn-out flesh wounds, and three blisters...

These are not serious injuries, but as a player, De Jong can imagine that this kind of injury is the most annoying!

Make you uncomfortable, make you crazy!

And Qin Xiong, how did he endure this one-hour game?

Qin Xiong sat on the bench with a normal expression. He adjusted his breathing rhythm and calmed down. He didn't think about anything else. He began to observe the game from the perspective of a bystander. He wanted to be close, careful, and active. To learn and see how other players deal with such weather and field conditions in the game.

If there is any negative emotion, it is self-blame.

He used to analyze the game, and in the process of learning, he did neglect the game in the environment of the rain fight. Even if he watched the video of the game, the influence of the rain fight was not obvious!

Because he is far away in China, he watched the game videos, which were carefully selected by the coaches, representative strong dialogues, and high-level games.

For that kind of competition, first of all, the conditions of the venue are very good. Top-level courts, top-level turf, drainage systems, geothermal systems, and even some courts have roofs, which can further reduce the impact of rain on the conditions of the venue.

And like today, in a small stadium with 2 people, the poor conditions of the venue are simply horrible in rainy days. This kind of competition environment makes Qin Xiong feel unfamiliar. It is no exaggeration to say: How can you compete under such conditions?

But in reality, there is such a game, but it may not be known to more people, and there will be no TV broadcasting company to promote this kind of game to the other side of the world, Asia.

On the positive side, Qin Xiong was disappointed with himself in this game, but he did not fall into disappointment after leaving the field, but quickly summed up his experience!

This gave him a clearer understanding of professional football in terms of ideological awareness, which was too idealistic before.

Football doesn't have to be played in a sunny, green and comfortable environment!

What needs to be defeated is not only the opponent team, but also the weather, the field, and oh, the sneakers!

The assistant coach watched the game intently after seeing Qin Xiong leave the field, which made him dispel the idea of ​​planning to comfort Qin Xiong.

Inadvertently seeing the blood blisters and small wounds on Qin Xiong's feet, the assistant coach immediately called the team doctor to treat Qin Xiong's wounds.

Qin Xiong moved his position, and the team doctor put his foot on his own leg, popped the blood blister, disinfected, applied medicine, and bandaged his wound to prevent infection and inflammation of his wound. After all these were taken care of, some staff went to the locker room I got Qin Xiong's sneakers, put on clean socks, and put on the shoes to avoid getting wet again.

In this match, Qin Xiong's luck was also a bit worse.

Ajax originally planned to play hard in the second half. After replacing Litmanen, the team's offensive broke out layer by layer. Although they fell behind by one goal, they scored three goals in the last 25 minutes and defeated the away game 3:1. to Groningen.

It's hard to say how crucial the midfielder was in these three attacks, because the routine was very simple, they all attacked from the wing, then crossed the opponent, Ibrahimovic scored, Van der Vaart scored twice, He returned to the front line, forward awareness, and his ability to catch space inside is still very good, just as amazing as last season.

In contrast, Qin Xiong was behind 0:1 when he was on the court, and the team reversed when he left the court.

This made Ibrahimovic and Van der Vaart deliberately ignore Qin Xiong when the teammates celebrated the victory after the game.

Only Sneijder came over to comfort Qin Xiong, and cursed Van der Vaart and Ibrahimovic in a low voice beside him.

"They're so proud, I didn't give them an assist, they scored a goal? When they are in the limelight, they put on the arrogance of being the best in the world, but when they do nothing, they just throw the responsibility on others!"

Qin Xiong, who left with his bag on his back, turned to Sneijder and asked, "Are you sure, you are not showing off your two assists?"

No matter how you listen, you feel that Sneijder is complaining that his contribution is not taken seriously.

Ned grinned and said, "I'm not mistaken, that's how they are."

Qin Xiong shook his head with a smile and said nothing.

Sitting on the leaving bus, coach Koeman called Qin Xiong to the back of the car for a private conversation.

Because when we returned to Amsterdam, the first team was temporarily disbanded, and the international players from various countries had to go to the national team to report for duty, so this conversation took place in the car on the way home.

Qin Xiong didn't know that Coman had a verbal conflict with Van Gaal about him before.

From his perspective, he not only respects Koeman, but also appreciates him for giving him a chance.

Now Coman is sitting next to Qin Xiong, and said in a serious voice: "Professional football is always looking forward. The game is over, and it is over. Don't take it to heart. Your performance is not good today. When you go back, we will Summarize the experience, find the reason, and then improve and improve in a targeted manner. I hope that your mentality is correct, and don't spend time on meaningless things, such as disappointment, or even harboring resentment in your heart, because you are less than I was replaced in 60 minutes. Qin Xiong, you have great talent and potential, but you need more experience now, I hope you can maintain a normal mind and treat the future positively."

Qin Xiong nodded solemnly, Coman didn't say anything more, patted him on the shoulder, got up and walked back to his seat.
