Thanks to "Y Depp" for the tip!

Sylvia's work in the morning had passed the busiest time.
She sat opposite Qin Xiong. Qin Xiong was eating breakfast and his expression was not very good.
He understood what the landlord, Lutmansen, meant by his complicated expression.
As a die-hard Ajax fan, Lutmansen had become proud because Qin Xiong lived in his house. Sometimes it became something he bragged to his friends.
But no matter how much he liked Qin Xiong.
He could not stand the smell of urine in the room!
So he was conflicted and tangled.
Qin Xiong sent him a text message after Ibrahimovic left, asking him to quickly find someone to clean up the room.
Ibrahimovic acted quickly. He found a housekeeping company and directly hired a cleaning team. Under Qin Xiong's dumbfounded gaze, the cleaning team helped Lutmansen clean the entire apartment building inside and out.
Lutmansen beamed with joy, like the joy of a blessing in disguise.
Qin Xiong cursed in his heart, "It's good to be rich!"
Sylvia found that her life had quietly changed some habits.
In the past, she would not read the football newspaper. But now, as long as there was an Ajax game, she would definitely pick up the football newspaper and browse it the day after.
She would excitedly read Qin Xiong's performance comments in the game. When she saw the football critics praise Qin Xiong, she could not help but smile. When she saw someone stir up a controversial topic centered around Qin Xiong, she would frown unhappily.
While Qin Xiong was eating breakfast, Sylvia took today's "International Football" and read him the football headlines in the newspaper.
The two powerhouses of the Dutch football world participated in this season's Champions League.
In the opening stages of the Champions League group stage, PSV Eindhoven and Ajax had the same trajectory: unfavorable start.
Ajax had three points in the first two rounds.
PSV Eindhoven had zero points.
But after the first four rounds, the Dutch media had greater hopes for PSV Eindhoven.
Because PSV Eindhoven had 6 points and Ajax still had 3 points.
But when the last round was over and the group stage was over.
PSV Eindhoven got 10 points, but they could only rank third in the same group and were forced to move to the UEFA Europa League.
Ajax, on the other hand, escaped with his life and advanced to the top 16 of the Champions League!
This time, no one cared about PSV Eindhoven, and Ajax became the focus of the local media.
"International Soccer" released a special report: From 1: 2 to 6: 0, Ajax has transformed on the road ahead!
Qin Xiong was praised, but he did not stand out from the crowd.
Ajax was the main force of the First Team, and most of the players had performed very well recently.
When teammates worked together, they could stimulate each other's potential, allowing each of them to perform to a higher level. This was a positive team chemistry.
Before the busiest time of the restaurant's lunch business, Sylvia asked Qin Xiong a question: Do you have any plans for Christmas?
Qin Xiong was stumped for a moment.
The first half of the Eredivisie season would end in two rounds, and there would be about a week of winter break after that.
Christmas?
Qin Xiong did not have the concept of this holiday in his mind.
He did not plan what to do during the winter break for the time being.
After lunch, Qin Xiong went to the club to prepare for the afternoon's recovery training.
The team advanced to the top 16 of the Champions League and had a huge lead in the league.
The ending task of 2003 was basically completed. As long as the last two league games did not end in a losing streak, Ajax Club would be very satisfied with the team's results in the first half of the new season.
Qin Xiong and the main force sat on the substitutes' bench on the weekend league game, giving the substitutes more opportunities to perform.
William II came to visit the Amsterdam Athletic Stadium.
With the First Team's main force's skills and tactics becoming more and more mature, the outside world would have a clear feeling when the substitutes played: The gap between the main force and the substitutes was really big! Their styles were also different!
This could not be helped. The characteristics of the two wingers, like Sottars and Sikora, limited their space to exist in a rich and varied technical and tactical system. They could only be used as traditional wingers. Letting them take on more changes and tasks would only make them lose themselves in the game.
In the end, Jax defeated William II with a score of 1: 0.
After the game, discordant voices were heard.
Sikora submitted an application to leave the team to the club!
His "broken relationship" with Comain did not improve in the past month or so.
Moreover, the two of them were like strangers.
In addition, the team's attention on Sikora decreased, and his sense of existence was getting lower and lower. As a result, Sikora felt unhappy to continue to stay here. This was different from the substitutes who had no sense of existence after coming to the team. After all, he fell from the main force position, and there was also the "humiliating" incident of being substituted out in the first 20 minutes of the first half in front of everyone's eyes.
As teammates, Qin Xiong and the others could not persuade him.
In the football circle, the flow of players was so frequent, and there was nothing to be unhappy about.
However, Comain still talked to Sikora and officially rejected his application to leave the team.
At least this winter, Ajax would not let him leave!
Christmas was approaching, and the players were restless. Qin Xiong could feel that many of his teammates were still looking forward to Christmas. Perhaps it was a break, or a family reunion.
In the middle of the week, Ajax and Ajax's youth team went to the Dutch Cup.
This year, both Ajax's teams reached the top 16 of the Dutch Cup. The youth team went to challenge FC Twente, and the first team played against Breda at home.
Comain transferred some of the reserve team players to the first team to play in the Dutch Cup.
Breda was not a strong team in the Dutch football circle.
However, it was the team that could beat Ajax in the league so far in the first half of the season. In that game, Ajax lost a shocking 2: 4 in front of Breda's home.
Breda went all out in the Dutch Cup, and Ajax focused on training the players.
Comain was on the substitutes' bench, and the first team's main force was still there.
Training the players was training, but if there was an accident at home, they still needed to put out the fire.
In a game at home, face was important!
His teammates whispered to each other on the substitutes' bench, and Qin Xiong paid more attention to the game on the field.
He was not used to the tradition of the big clubs in Europe.
They treated the domestic cup as training and gave more opportunities to the young players. They were not so focused on winning.
He felt that since it was a championship that could be fought for, then he had to work hard to win.
Of course, he was just not used to it, but it did not mean that he could not understand.
After all, the competition schedule was frequent, and the team's physical consumption had to be arranged reasonably. This was one of the most important factors to consider.
Just as he was watching the game, Snede handed him a piece of chewing gum from the side. Qin Xiong took it and chewed on it to watch the game.
Breda's momentum was fierce!
Ajax, on the other hand, seemed a little out of touch.
It was probably because the reserve team and the first team's substitutes were combined together. When facing a slightly stronger team, the lack of tacit understanding and the lack of cooperation and experience would be exposed.
Comain was originally sitting in the technical area to watch the game.
But when the team lost the first goal in the 31st minute of the first half, he could not sit still and walked to the sidelines to supervise the game.
Ajax was anxious to equalize the score on the field, and the game was wide open, but they were not as united as Breda. Breda was more efficient in terms of tactical execution and teamwork.
Before the end of the first half, the opponent scored another goal!
At this time, the Ajax players sitting on the substitutes' bench off the field took the initiative to stop talking, and their expressions became extremely solemn.
Comain vented his anger at the players in the locker room during the halftime interval.
He criticized them for being too relaxed!
In the second half, Breda simply played defense and counterattacked to ensure that the victory was in his hands.
Ajax's lineup was limited in its ability to attack. It could only stack the attacking players forward and then give the opponent more space to counterattack.
In the 58th minute of the game, Brady scored the third goal through a counterattack!
Ajax fell behind 0: 3 at home!
The fans in the stands were full of resentment!
They pointed the spearhead at Comain, thinking that Comain was too arrogant to arrange such a lineup. If they were to play against an amateur team, they could crush them. But against a mid-tier team in the First Division, and an opponent that the first team had suffered a crushing defeat of 2: 4 in the league, this was simply falling into the pit twice and not repenting!
Comain's expression was extremely ugly. He turned around and walked to the substitutes' bench. He called Ibrahimovic, Van Der Vaart, and Qin Xiong to warm up.
After Qin Xiong got up, Comain frowned and asked, "What are you eating?"
Qin Xiong realized that he was still chewing gum, and immediately turned his head to spit it out. He subconsciously glanced at Snede, and the kid actually lowered his head and snickered!
Three minutes later, Ajax's three main players were on the field!
