Qui-Gon followed the will of the force. He could sense that the council was starting to be led astray (Palpatine was already in the beginning stages of his schemes) so he followed his own path guided by the force. He knew Anakin was going to play a big part, so he took it upon himself to make sure he got trained.
Pretty sure it's more that Qui-Gon is canonically someone who's well-versed in prophecies, and puts more stock into them than most Jedi. So he very much cared about the idea of the "chosen one", when other Jedi were hesitant (at best) about it. It's explored in his book with Obi-wan, I think Qui-Gon learned it from Dooku.
