On the evening of July 24th, at Liverpool's Lennon International Airport, Freddy and two staff members were carrying their luggage. Qin Xiong, on the other hand, was wearing a tight short-sleeved shirt, jeans, and sunglasses as he walked out of the airport exit.
The moment he walked out of the exit, Qin Xiong seemed to see a red sea boiling.
"Qin Xiong! It's really Qin Xiong! "
“OMG！ He's really back! "
"He's going to join Liverpool! He's going to become a member of the Red Army! "
.....
The Red Army fans waited for Qin Xiong outside the airport exit. They just wanted to know if the media reports were true. They wanted to confirm with their own eyes that Qin Xiong's arrival was not a dream!
While they cheered, discussed, and fantasized about the future, countless reporters on Fleet Street were already pressing the shutters of their cameras to take pictures or record Qin Xiong's arrival in Liverpool.
The reporters also extended their microphones and gathered in front of Qin Xiong, asking questions at once.
"Qin Xiong, why did you choose to join Liverpool? Is it because of Liverpool's Chinese boss? "
"Is this a transfer like Chelsea's acquisition of Andriy Shevchenko?"
"Real Madrid couldn't even let you renew your contract. What does Liverpool have to tempt you?"
"Why didn't you choose to return to Arsenal?"
.....
Qin Xiong remained silent. He gently pushed away the reporters' microphones and walked up to the fans. He took the pens they handed over and began to sign autographs for the fans. He wrote his name on the Liverpool jerseys they were wearing.
He did not leave directly, just to sign autographs for the fans who had been waiting for a long time so that they did not wait in vain.
Of course, Qin Xiong could not satisfy all the fans' requests for autographs and photos.
Twenty minutes later, Qin Xiong got into the luxury car sent by the club to pick him up. Wang Sicong sat in the back seat and teased Qin Xiong, "You must be under a lot of pressure as a star."
Qin Xiong shook his sore right hand and brushed it off with a smile.
The three cars sped away and disappeared from the sight of the Liverpool fans who were chanting Qin Xiong's name in unison.
On July 24, 2009, Qin Xiong, who had been away from England for three years, returned to the English battlefield!
Liverpool was a port city, and the city's culture and customs tended to be open. This was in sharp contrast to Manchester, which was an hour's drive away. Manchester was relatively conservative and traditional, and Liverpool's openness made Liverpool more popular and lively.
After arriving in Liverpool, Qin Xiong went straight to Liverpool F.C.'s Melwood Training Ground for a medical examination.
This was actually just going through the motions.
The Community Shield before the new season would begin in half a month. In other words, the new Premier League season would begin in three weeks, and Liverpool had already entered the preparations for the new season.
When Qin Xiong's car drove into the Melwood Training Ground, the players who were training in the stadium noticed and were distracted.
Qin Xiong, who got out of the car, looked at the training ground. He saw Gerard, Mascherano, Torres, Alonso, Carragher and other players.
Qin Xiong's lips curled up slightly, and the new teammates who stared at him were a little dazed.
It was as if they could not believe that all this had really happened.
Because Liverpool rarely brought in top-class superstars in the past.
What did Torres achieve when he left Atlético Madrid? He was not even a superstar.
Alonso was at best a top-class star when he came to Liverpool. Mascherano was even more depressed at West Ham United.
They only had their own superstars, Gerard and Owen.
Now the club had a new boss who could bring in a world-recognized superstar!
It was simply unbelievable.
Qin Xiong was already an old rival, whether it was when he was at Arsenal, or when they met in Europe in Real Madrid, or even when Mascherano fought with Qin Xiong at the Olympics.
It was difficult to say that they were extremely familiar with each other, but Qin Xiong's strength was obvious to all.
A new force seemed to be injected into the body. The Liverpool players on the training ground felt from the bottom of their hearts that the club seemed to have become stronger!
That was the most important thing!
The club went from chaos to calm and began to move upwards. This trend was also very obvious to the mental stimulation.
Qin Xiong walked into the medical examination room accompanied by the staff. Liverpool's official recorder took a camera to record the whole process.
Qin Xiong showed his strong muscles and measured his motor function through the instrument.
An hour later, Qin Xiong and the doctor took a picture together with a thumbs up to show that his medical examination went smoothly.
Before six o 'clock in the afternoon, Liverpool officially announced that Qin Xiong had officially transferred to Liverpool!
After the medical examination, Qin Xiong left the Melwood Training Ground. He and Wang Sicong discussed where to have dinner.
Qin Xiong originally planned to eat casually, but Wang Sicong, who had been in England for a long time, strongly recommended and encouraged Qin Xiong to try Liverpool's most popular Indian food.
Qin Xiong thought about it and agreed. The restaurant was located in the center of Liverpool. The environment was elegant and very distinctive. It was not a low-class restaurant. It was a high-end restaurant.
After Wang Sicong ordered some very special food, Qin Xiong took photos with some customers who recognized him in the restaurant, and then waited to eat.
"The team's transfer is frozen, but now there are two thorny problems."
Wang Sicong whispered to Qin Xiong.
Qin Xiong frowned and asked, "What is it?"
Wang Sicong said, "Two Spanish players have submitted transfer applications to the club."
"Who?"
"One is called … Arbeloa, and the other is Xavi Alonso."
Qin Xiong's expression became serious.
In fact, both Arbeloa and Alonso were fiercely pursued by Real Madrid this summer.
Originally, Arbeloa had already started negotiations with Real Madrid, but due to the change in ownership of the club, all transfer negotiations were suspended, which led to his transfer negotiations reaching a deadlock.
After the new owner took over, the transfer work was temporarily frozen.
After Wang Sicong's introduction, Arbeloa only had one year left on his contract with the club. In addition, Real Madrid's summer restructuring of Galactica was very tempting. He wanted to go back to Spain to join his childhood dream team. His desire was very strong.
It was almost impossible for the team to keep him. Moreover, at the end of June, Benítez had already made a move to find Arbeloa's substitute. The England national footballer, Glen Johnson, joined Liverpool, which made Arbeloa's departure almost logical.
Qin Xiong thought about it and said, "It's not a problem for him to leave. After all, the club has already prepared in advance. But, Xavi Alonso can't go! There is no replacement at all! His importance can't be measured by money! "
Hearing Qin Xiong's words, Wang Sicong's expression became stunned. The matter might be more difficult and more serious than he thought!
