Qin Xiong was scolded by van Basten!
It was obviously a joking tone.
He told Qin Xiong, "If you want to participate in the training, go change your clothes. If you don't want to train, get out and don't disturb the other players."
Qin Xiong went to the First Team locker room to change his jersey and then participated in the reserve team's training.
With the addition of Qin Xiong, the atmosphere in the reserve team's training was a lot livelier. However, Qin Xiong had just gone through a big battle last night. He came to the training mainly to recover and would not work particularly hard.
During the training interval, he learned from his friends in the reserve team about the results of a few upsets in the UEFA Champions League 18 final.
In this regard, Qin Xiong and his teammates did not care or understand at all after the game last night.
Porto eliminated Manchester United in an upset.
Deportivo La Coruna eliminated Juventus.
In contrast, Ajax's elimination of Arsenal was not particularly surprising.
Bayern Munich lost to Real Madrid, which many people would have thought was normal before the game.
The top eight of the Champions League were out.
Ajax, Porto, Deportivo La Coruna, AC Milan, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Lyon, Monaco.
In today's football media's interpretation of the probability of the top eight teams winning the championship, Ajax was listed as the fourth favorite.
In first place was the defending champion AC Milan, second was Real Madrid, third was the British upstart Chelsea, and fourth was Ajax.
Deportivo La Coruna, Monaco, Porto, and Lyon were slightly inferior to the top four in terms of fame and foundation.
The specific draw for the UEFA Champions League 14 final would be held in the evening.
Qin Xiong's mentality was now very calm. He did not care who he drew.
The reserve team, led by van Basten, went hand in hand in the Premier League and the Cup. Their momentum was unstoppable. Qin Xiong was also happy for Drieder, Lindgren, and his friends who were working hard in the reserve team. He kept cheering them on at the end of the training.
Lindgren and the others made an agreement with Qin Xiong: See you in the first team!
Qin Xiong did not know if this promise would be fulfilled one day, at least not this season.
When he returned to Ward Street in the evening, Lute, Manson, Dekoiz, and Peter had prepared a sumptuous dinner for Qin Xiong, as if he was a hero who had returned. This made Qin Xiong feel flattered.
In a small restaurant in Dekoze, Qin Xiong met several Chinese people. They were reporters from China's major sports media in Europe.
When they saw Qin Xiong, they came up to him and asked for an interview. Qin Xiong solemnly told them that he would decline all interviews for now.
Freddy came forward to deal with the reporters and explained why Qin Xiong did not want to be interviewed. He left their contact information and promised that when the time was right, Qin Xiong would take the initiative to contact them. But if they did not cooperate, Qin Xiong would not accept any interviews in the future.
Seeing Qin Xiong's firm attitude, the reporters returned in disappointment.
Qin Xiong did not want to cause any unnecessary trouble. God knows if the words from his mouth would be misinterpreted, which could bring trouble to the club and himself.
In particular, he was afraid to face a question: Will you still play for Ajax next season?
How should he answer?
Qin Xiong was unable to make a promise. If he gave an ambiguous answer, it would create a storm.
He had dinner with the three old men and Freddy. The three old men were in high spirits and sang a popular Dutch folk song.
Qin Xiong's attention was attracted after the TV began to play the draw ceremony for the quarter-finals.
The matchups for the quarter-finals of the Champions League were soon revealed. Ajax's luck was good.
AC Milan VS Deportivo de La Coruña.
FC Porto VS Lyon.
Real Madrid VS Monaco.
Ajax VS Chelsea.
He had to go to the United Kingdom again, and it was all in London!
Compared to the team members who called to discuss after the results of the quarter-finals were revealed, this time it was very quiet. Qin Xiong did not receive any text messages or phone calls from his teammates. It seemed that everyone's mentality had quietly changed in the three months.
Freddy had eaten and drank to his heart's content. He picked up a napkin to wipe his hands and whispered to Qin Xiong, "I received a call from the United Kingdom today."
"Hmm? Don't keep me in suspense. "
"Arsenal's vice-chairman, Dane, called me and invited me to his house."
Qin Xiong looked thoughtful.
Obviously, such a guest invitation would not be to talk about romance. It must be a secret meeting to discuss the transfer of players.
Qin Xiong asked, "Did you agree?"
Freddy shook his head with a solemn expression and said seriously, "You have an agreement with Ajax. Moreover, this kind of skirting around the edges in the transfer market and bypassing the club to negotiate in advance is common in European football and is considered an unspoken rule. But as an outsider, you still have to be careful in this regard and not make mistakes. The most important point is that Arsenal wants you. I don't know if you want to go to Arsenal or not. Of course, I can't agree with him. "
Qin Xiong nodded. It was indeed true.
Freddy was very thoughtful.
He pondered for a moment and shook his head. "Now is not the time to think about these things. The more you think about it, the more distracted you will be."
Freddy patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him. "Well, you don't have to think too much. I will only tell you some important information. You don't have to worry about other things for the time being. Focus on the game. Ajax has reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League. If you go one step further, I guarantee that you can go to a more ideal club than Ajax in the summer."
.....
There was bad news from the top management of the Ajax club.
The protagonist was Louis Van Gaal.
After the team reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League, he announced in a high-profile manner that Ajax would reach the semi-finals of the Champions League every five years on average!
Compared to the Jax Empire ten years ago, this was a very low standard.
But it was more in line with Ajax's position today.
As the club's strategic architect, Louis Van Gaal's declaration and goal were not recognized by the top management.
Even Comain did not stand on Louis Van Gaal's side.
The players did not know what happened at the top. They even had to learn the story of the club's top management from the resourceful media reports.
The board of directors was described by the outside world as short-sighted good-for-nothings who were not interested in Louis Van Gaal's "grand" goal.
Obviously, to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League every five years on average, the team's strength would be higher. On the stage of the Champions League, it was not certain that you could reach the semi-finals if you had the strength.
It required a long-term stable and strong strength as a backing to be possible.
In other words, money was needed!
Without money, you could not buy good players, and you could not pay high salaries to keep good players.
The reason why Louis Van Gaal threw out such remarks at this time was because he saw the potential of these players.
He saw the potential of this group of players, and he was reminding the club to spend a lot of money to keep these players. Maybe Ajax could return to its glory days from ten years ago.
Unfortunately, the club's top management could understand Louis Van Gaal's unspoken words, but could not take the risk to be crazy with him.
This frustrated Louis Van Gaal a little. He went to England on the weekend to watch Chelsea's game.
Nominally, it was to examine the opponent, but Fleet Street revealed that Chelsea's boss, Abramovich, was not very interested in Ranieri and had long had the idea of changing the manager. It was not Louis Van Gaal who took the initiative to go to Stamford Bridge to watch the game, but was invited by Abramovich. Obviously, Louis Van Gaal was a member of Chelsea's selection of managers.
In fact, last summer, when Chelsea's boss, Abramovich, moved to Stamford Bridge, Chelsea and Ajax were entangled in a scandal.
After Abramovich bought Chelsea, he carried out a football revolution at Stamford Bridge. He spent a lot of money and listed a very long list of acquisitions.
Naturally, there were Ajax's geniuses, such as Ibrahimovic and Van Der Vaart, on that list.
However, Chelsea aroused public anger in European football. They lured players with high salaries and at the same time, made a lot of offers. It was not forced to buy, but it was better than forced. It made the European powerhouses panic and angry. Many teams, including Ajax, were hostile and wary of Chelsea.
Louis Van Gaal's going to Stamford Bridge to watch the game became the fuse, causing an irreparable conflict to break out between him and the club's top management.
Ajax's top management was worried about whether Louis Van Gaal would surrender to Chelsea, and the proof of his allegiance would be Ajax's star players!
Louis Van Gaal could not tolerate the ignorance and short-sightedness of Ajax's top management.
Things progressed unimaginably fast. Before Ajax's game against Roda JC on Sunday, the day after Louis Van Gaal went to Stamford Bridge to watch the game, Ajax's official website announced that Louis Van Gaal would resign at the end of the season!
