Six chapters! Today's outburst is complete!
Last month, the novel was published, and this month, I began to enter a stable rhythm. I want to thank many readers for their support, like my old friends "Jiexi" and "Yu Yelin", and countless new friends for their support. It makes me feel excited, encouraged, and motivated, so I have to change my previous habit of doing three chapters every day. I promise that I will have a stable outburst at the beginning of every month, and I will also have an extra outburst one day a week after that.
I will not use monthly votes or recommendation votes to measure the number of updates. Of course, I hope that everyone can subscribe to this book as much as possible and vote for me. However, my outburst is to express my sincerity. Thank you, my readers. You are already good enough! So good that I have to act, outburst, outburst!
-----
When Ajax was about to embark on an away trip to Rotterdam to challenge Feyenoord, the European media was calm, but a huge wave was set off in the China media.
In order to prepare for the AFC Asian Cup held in China in the summer, Ali Khan led the China national team to Europe for training!
In the first half of 2004, the China team got rid of the shadow of the defeat in the East Asian semi-finals at the end of last year and maintained seven undefeated games in various warm-up games and world qualifiers. Only the warm-up game with Macedonia at the end of January was a draw, and the following six games were all won!
The warm-up game may not have a reference value, but the consecutive home victories over Kuwait and Hong Kong in the world qualifiers had really laid a solid foundation for the China team to advance to the next stage of the world qualifiers.
As a player who studied abroad, Qin Xiong had not played for the national team for a minute, but he had already become the number one star player in China's contemporary football world.
Because he played for Ajax as the main force and entered the semi-finals of the Champions League, which was the focus of the world's attention. Every step he took was writing a new history of China's football players in the world!
China fans understood the difficulties of Qin Xiong's delay in returning to China to play for the country. Due to the difference in the schedule of the Asian clubs and the European side, players who played in Europe were almost unable to participate in the warm-up games of the Asian national team. For example, in the warm-up games at the end of January, Qin Xiong had just returned from the winter break and had to prepare for the league with the club. In Asia, many leagues were in the off-season. The national team's schedule did not affect the club's schedule, but it had an impact in Europe.
The Chinese media treated the China team's trip to Europe as a historic moment.
There was no need for Qin Xiong to return!
The national team would meet up with him in Europe!
Countless Chinese football fans were looking forward to Qin Xiong joining the national team, becoming the leader of China's football, leading the team forward and leading the national team into a new era.
The European media did not pay attention to the movements of the China men's national football team. At most, they would mention it in the corner of the news panel as a matter of routine.
However, the Ajax Club got the news and made a lot of noise.
The club specifically searched for information about the Asian national team competitions, wanting to know the specific goal of China's men's football team in Europe. After confirming that the China national team was only in Europe for training, the club's senior management talked to Qin Xiong and said that if Qin Xiong was recruited by the China national team, the club would refuse to let him go!
Ajax had achieved brilliant results this season, but in the final sprint towards the end of the season, any player's movements were closely watched by the club.
The war was not over yet!
In order to have greater brilliance, in the final stage, the attention on the players rose sharply. Not only Qin Xiong, but also the players who would be called up by the national team to play in the pre-European Championship friendly were either instructed by the club or Comain would call the national team manager to try to keep the players in the club if it was not necessary.
On a sunny afternoon, Qin Xiong came to the De Quip Stadium in Rotterdam with the team, which was the home ground of Feyenoord.
Ajax played all the main players and strived to win the championship after today's game!
Feyenoord, led by Van Marwijk, had a stable position in the league table. They were third in the league, leaving the fourth and fifth behind them. Because PSV Eindhoven almost collapsed some time ago, the gap between the two teams was shortened. However, with PSV Eindhoven's courage, the possibility of Feyenoord wanting to usurp the second place in the league and qualify for the Champions League became very low.
This made many of the players in their squad extremely disappointed.
For example, Van Persie.
He was sitting on the bench today. He and Van Marwijk were like fire and water, to the point where they ignored each other. For him, this season was terrible.
He did not have a single championship title. He came and went in the club because of contradictions and conflicts with the manager. When his heart was about to go numb, he just wanted to escape from Feyenoord quickly!
Van Marwijk set up a very conservative formation at home. He did not have the ambition to snipe Ajax. It seemed meaningless.
Because of the chaos in the club's top management and the discord within the team, Van Marwijk was also disheartened. Therefore, his fighting spirit, ideals and so on had become illusory things. It was fine if he did not want them.
He only wanted to end the season in a decent way at home.
Ajax's strength was obvious to all. It did not make much sense for Feyenoord to snipe the other side to win the championship. As long as they did not lose too badly and were not blocked by the fans on the street, Van Marwijk could accept it.
Therefore, he set up a very pragmatic and conservative formation to limit Ajax's scoring.
It was hard to say whether Van Marwijk's pragmatism was right or wrong.
Ajax's lineup was young. The players had just experienced a fierce battle in the middle of the week. They needed more time to recover. The continuous battle was a great test for the young players. It was easy to have state fluctuations, which could not be separated from the fact that they had not fully recovered their physical state.
Therefore, if Feyenoord boldly took the initiative to attack Ajax, they might be able to wear down Ajax on the field.
Van Marwijk still did not adjust his tactics even after witnessing that Ajax's geniuses were not in their best state on the sidelines and that some of their technical actions were not up to standard.
He and Robin van Persie, who were in the whirlpool of contradictions, had a tacit understanding that neither of them intended to stay in the club. Their hearts had already flown away. It was ironic. It seemed that most of the battles between football clubs could not escape the outcome of both sides losing.
Ajax's tough challenge to Feyenoord in the away game was fruitless. Ibrahimovic and Van Der Vaart each missed a golden opportunity. Qin Xiong's free kicks hit the goal rate also dropped significantly. The Snede's error rate in the front field was somewhat tragic. Obviously, they had not recovered from the fatigue of the second game against Chelsea, especially considering that they were playing in an away game.
But even so, the 0: 0 score was enough to send Ajax to the throne of this season's league title.
At the moment when the whistle sounded at the end of the game at De Quip Stadium, the Ajax players and the Ajax fans in the stands cheered together for their 29th league title!
"Winning the title in five rounds in advance! Ajax created a small miracle. They ended the suspense of the championship early and overturned PSV Eindhoven's rule with a convincing advantage. There are still five rounds in the league, but they can already celebrate winning the league title. This will help them focus their energy on the Champions League. Oh, there are still two Dutch Cup finals! This is bound to be an unforgettable season for the Ajax fans. They will remember Ibrahimovic, Van Der Vaart, Snede, and the genius rising star Qin Xiong. They are more mature than last season and have a huge improvement in strength. This is inseparable from the contribution of the midfielder Qin Xiong, who was promoted by manager Comain. He used fewer games to deliver unparalleled results. He is the king of assists in the league and has 16 goals. Amazing statistics and all-round performance. He catalyzed the success of Ajax. Many of Ajax's main players are hopeful of competing for the honor of the best player of the season. I think this is well-deserved. The best player of the season should be awarded to the player of the championship team, but who exactly should it be? Haha, this is going to be a headache. "
Ajax celebrated the title in a restrained manner at the doorstep of Feyenoord. In fact, the players had long determined that the league title belonged to them. The excitement also faded as time passed in the Champions League.
Their attention was completely attracted by the Champions League.
When they were showering in the locker room after the game, Snede, who was standing in the shower next to Qin Xiong's, suddenly asked him some questions that he could not answer.
"Where will you go next season? Old Trafford? Camp Nou? Bernabéu? Anfield? It can't be the Parc des Princes, right? "
With the end of the season in more than a month, there were rampant transfer rumors everywhere.
There were a lot of rumors lingering around the Ajax players.
Van Der Vaart, Ibrahimovic, and Qin Xiong, the three of them were chased by many European powerhouses.
Snede also had some, but he seemed to be determined to stay at the club for the time being, so the news was slightly less.
A few months ago, during the winter break, the most enthusiastic teams chasing Qin Xiong were mostly the upper-middle teams in the top leagues. Now, it directly became the powerhouses preparing to snatch players!
After all, there was almost a year left on his contract, and the cost of taking him away would not be too high. It was a good deal.
Only the Serie A teams were a little disadvantaged. After all, to bring in Qin Xiong, they had to occupy the precious non-European quota, so there was only one quota.
Other leagues, such as Real Madrid and Barcelona, seemed to be a little interested in Qin Xiong, but only at the stage of rumors.
At this stage, the Premier League teams that were expanding their teams in Europe were the most enthusiastic. It was no wonder that the United Kingdom was the European news center. News from the United Kingdom could be spread more quickly and comprehensively. The media's influence was unparalleled.
Qin Xiong did not answer Snede. He only said one sentence after the shower, "I'm not thinking about this now."
