Ajax Club may not be as ambitious as it used to be, but the management philosophy of the board of directors was still in line with the current trend.
When Qin Xiong showed his ability to stand out in the youth team, the club's attention to him increased day by day.
However, the time span was still very short. It had only been half a month since he joined the club to this day!
In half a month, his position in the club had to be adjusted. Even the people in the club could not react in time.
PSV Eindhoven was suspected of looting a burning house, which attracted the attention of the senior management.
The board of directors listened carefully to Louis Van Gaal's opinion.
Louis Van Gaal understood Qin Xiong's position in the exchange with Qin Xiong.
As for Morpeth and Ilmas lying on the hospital bed, as well as the fight that caused them to be injured, no one cared.
After the youth team teammates and the four accomplices of Morpeth who were originally involved in the incident were questioned, the general cause and process were understood by the management.
To put it bluntly, the two men wanted to hit Qin Xiong and hurt his dignity to make Qin Xiong suffer a mental blow. As a result, they were lying on the hospital bed in a trance.
This matter was not the main point.
Coincidentally, this kind of thing often happened to Ajax. The club dealt with it easily and grasped the main point of the matter very well.
The main point was not who was right or wrong!
Just like how Freddy used such hateful and shameless means to blackmail Ajax Club: inviting PSV Eindhoven to poach him.
Hahaha, what an evil agent!
But from Freddy's standpoint, he did not care whether Qin Xiong was right to hurt people or not. He did not care whether he should be punished for hurting people so badly.
He only cared about Qin Xiong and served the interests of Qin Xiong.
Now, he wanted to threaten the Ajax Club to make Ajax pay more attention to Qin Xiong and clarify Qin Xiong's position in the club.
The core of the problem in front of Ajax was: Qin Xiong, Mopes, and Ilmas, who was more important?
He would protect whoever was important!
The truth of the football circle was that the strong were respected!
Louis Van Gaal's personal opinion to the board of directors was that the future potential of Imps and Ilmas would allow them to be worth at most one million euros, but Qin Xiong's potential would allow him to be worth at least five million euros in the future.
No one could blame Louis Van Gaal for being so blunt. When communicating with the philistine board of directors, the core was interests.
Louis Van Gaal wanted to explain to them in detail the gap between the talent and strength of Qin Xiong, Imps, and Ilmas, but would the board of directors understand?
Instead of explaining in a roundabout way, it was better to go straight to the point.
If they did not support Qin Xiong, the future losses might be great!
Imps and Ilmas, on the other hand, were still in the youth team at the age of 18. They had already appeared to be unable to keep up with the growth of their peers. Now, such a dispute had arisen. It was not necessary to kick anyone out of the club to solve it properly. However, the necessary punishment still had to be biased in the punishment to protect one side.
The punishment for Qin Xiong was a team warning and a week's salary deduction. The punishment for Imps and Ilmas seemed similar, which was also a warning and a fine.
But on the other hand, Qin Xiong was transferred out of the youth team and promoted to the reserve team!
Manager Comain was slightly depressed when he heard about this.
He had not seen Qin Xiong play football with his own eyes, but from the reports of his colleagues, he learned that Qin Xiong's strength was outstanding and his talent was amazing. However, after the brawl incident, Comain felt conflicted.
Why?
Because the First Team locker room was not peaceful to begin with.
The most common problem in a team that was too young was that everyone was young and aggressive, and no one was willing to admit defeat to the other team.
Fights over personal feelings were a common occurrence.
If an unstable factor like Qin Xiong, who was so ruthless in his attacks, was added into the mix, Koeman was not sure what would happen to the First Team locker room.
But there was no other way. Qin Xiong was highly regarded by the youth team coach, and Louis Van Gaal strongly recommended him. Comain could not deliberately suppress Qin Xiong. Moreover, if it were not for the conflict with Louis Van Gaal, he would be inclined to be happy with this situation. After all, the team had a new strength, and the benefits should outweigh the disadvantages. However, because of Louis Van Gaal, he was conflicted emotionally. His stance towards Qin Xiong also became subtle and complicated.
Qin Xiong only left Ajax Club with Freddy very late at night.
After having dinner at Dekoiz's restaurant, Qin Xiong went back to his apartment alone to rest.
As if it was a blessing in disguise, he would report to the reserve team starting tomorrow.
As the night deepened, Freddy sat at the table outside the restaurant. After a while, someone sat across from him.
The person who came was dressed in a suit and leather shoes. He had a dignified appearance. It was PSV Eindhoven's representative, Agnesen.
After he sat down, his tone was a little helpless. He frowned and said, "Mr. Freddy, in the process of our acquaintance and contact, I have always represented the most sincere sincerity and goodwill of the club. But today, you used me."
Yes, when Agnesen first received Freddy's call, he thought that there was a turning point in the matter of bringing in Qin Xiong.
Previously, he valued Qin Xiong's identity as a Chinese and hoped that the club could recruit him. If he could make a Chinese star player popular, it would be of great benefit to Philips Group's strategic development of the Asian market.
And with Qin Xiong's stunning performance in the youth league, PSV Eindhoven was of course jealous.
To poach Qin Xiong, they could not think about the interests of the consortium behind them. It was purely for the enhancement of their competitive strength.
Agnesen did not put up his guard against Freddy and easily believed the nonsense of "Qin Xiong was pushed out of Ajax and had nowhere to go." PSV Eindhoven immediately started the work of bringing him in, but they did not expect to be played.
With the direct refusal from Ajax, plus Agnesen learned what had happened in Ajax through his personal information channels, he could naturally figure out Freddy's ulterior motive for contacting him.
Now, he was here to denounce him.
Freddy said with a serious face, "I'm sorry, I'm officially apologizing to you now. But at the same time, I will also make some compensation. I have lived in China for many years, and I also have certain interpersonal relationships there, especially in football. I can introduce some partners to you. If PSV Eindhoven wants to use the introduction of China players as a sharp weapon for market development, I can provide a lot of information to you, and maybe I can help a little. "
Agnesen thought for a moment and immediately had a detailed discussion with Freddy.
One-sided accusations and attacks were useless. Even Freddy's apology was just a few words.
But if Freddy could provide a lot of valuable intelligence and information, Agnesen could accept the other party's apology. Anyway, things had reached this point. It was better to get something in return than nothing and be foolishly used.
.....
The next day, when Qin Xiong came to the club's training ground, many of his teammates looked at him differently.
They were in awe.
They were afraid of his ruthlessness in hurting people.
They admired him for completing the "upgrade" in less than half a month after coming to the club.
If the youth team was still a bunch of baby soldiers, then in the reserve team, the improvement of the overall age of the team made the team feel a lot more mature. Moreover, there was no lack of older players.
Van Basten enthusiastically introduced Qin Xiong to his teammates in the reserve team.
In the Netherlands, the reserve team had a league tournament and a cup tournament. Of course, it was not the ultimate goal of the players, but it was a small stage for the coaches to prove their ability.
Van Basten was full of ambition for the reserve team league tournament and the reserve team cup tournament in the new season. He retired early due to injury. His ambition had not been fulfilled, and he was going to sprinkle his hot blood on the coaching stage.
It was Qin Xiong's first day in the reserve team. Coincidentally, the reserve team had a game that day, so the training was very easy. He was not arranged to be in the game list. Van Basten first let him get to know his teammates and carefully observe the reserve team's game.
In the reserve team, there was the 28-year-old Brazilian striker, Warmport. This winger had played for Ajax for five seasons and played more than 120 games, but only scored 30 goals. Compared to the Netherlands, which was a league with a high number of strikers, his data was not good. In addition to Ajax's tradition, he was already 28 years old and was relegated to the reserve team. If the first team needed him, they might call him again.
The next oldest player was the 23-year-old Australian, Chulina. He was like a wake-up call for everyone. None of the young players here wanted to be like Chulina.
He had joined Ajax in 1999, when he was 18 years old. However, in the past four seasons, he was either in the youth team or on loan. He was drifting without roots. Now, he was 23 years old and had not made a name for himself. Although he was in a powerhouse, he had become a typical failure.
The other teammates were all in the U21 age group. Players between the ages of 20 and 21 were considered normal development. Players who were 19 years old and younger could be in the reserve team. They were considered to be the key players of the club. For example, Maduro, the first person who greeted Qin Xiong when he arrived, was Qin Xiong.
There were also forwards, Drieder, Esayas, and others who had played against him before. (What a good event for free. Cool mobile phones are waiting for you!
