On the way to the podium, Fàbregas jumped and jumped with Qin Xiong's hands on his shoulders. Qin Xiong had changed into a new jersey. He walked step by step to the podium with a confident smile.
With the medal around his neck, he once again looked down to carefully observe the material of the medal. Fàbregas asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"
Qin Xiong shook his head and smiled. He did not answer his question.
He remembered his childish behavior at the Champions League award ceremony last year at this time.
He really bit the medal with his teeth.
Vieira, as the captain, carried out the trophy ceremony. At the moment when the Premier League trophy was lifted, the Arsenal team roared together on the podium!
"We are the champions!"
The firecrackers were fired in unison.
Arsenal began a new round of revelry at the St Andrew's stadium. Wenger was brutally attacked and was drenched in champagne by several players.
The reporters on the sidelines took photos frantically. Qin Xiong and Henry were the biggest focus. The two men also took a group photo, picking up the championship medal together and giving a thumbs up with the other hand.
This was a group photo of the king of assists and the king of goalscorers.
.....
After returning to London, the Arsenal team changed into casual clothes and went to the nightclub together to celebrate.
However, everyone was still very restrained. First of all, the Arsenal team did not have a tradition of going to nightclubs collectively. At least, Arsenal did not during this period. Second, there was the FA Cup final a week later.
On the second floor of the nightclub, Qin Xiong and Henry stood in front of the railing with wine glasses in their hands. The two looked down at the sea of people on the dance floor on the first floor. There were constantly beautiful women throwing flirtatious glances at Qin Xiong.
"There's a beauty interested in you."
Qin Xiong joked.
Henry curled his lips and retorted, "It's obviously for you. I'm already married."
Qin Xiong smiled noncommittally.
After a moment of silence, Henry suddenly said seriously to Qin Xiong, "This season, our cooperation was perfect. It felt great. I hope that next season … we can achieve better results. "
Qin Xiong swayed his body slightly to the rhythm of the music in the nightclub. Hearing Henry's words, he nodded casually.
Of course, he hoped to achieve better results in the future.
However, Henry turned his head and looked at Qin Xiong seriously. "What I mean is that I don't want to have any regrets in my career! I need a Big Ear Cup. That's the only thing I want from the club. "
Qin Xiong was stunned. This time, he did not dare to nod.
On paper, Arsenal definitely had the strength to win the Champions League this season!
However, in a season, the competition schedules of the various battlefields were intertwined with each other, and sudden events were also intricate and complicated.
Not every match was guaranteed to be in the best condition, and the team would not be able to play with their strongest ability.
If it was a one-on-one competition, Arsenal had the strength of the champions and runners-up in England. That was to say, if they were not champions, they would definitely be runners-up!
In the Champions League, they would definitely be one of the top four teams in Europe!
However, reality was often not the ideal situation!
Form, fitness, lineup, morale, improvisation, and even sunny or stormy competition environment would all affect the direction of the competition during key matches.
Qin Xiong could not nod and make a guarantee. In the end, he could only put his arm around Henry's shoulder and gently clinked glasses with him. "Work hard next season!"
Henry nodded gently and then smiled at Qin Xiong. "My child is about to be born."
Qin Xiong smiled and said, "Congratulations!"
.....
The next afternoon, Qin Xiong was relaxing with a massage from his private doctor in the gym in his apartment. He had already read today's major newspapers on Fleet Street, as well as the reports on British Sports Television.
Almost all of them were praising Arsenal, and there were also personal comments on the star players.
There was nothing to be happy about for him, because it was not very realistic and did not mean much to others.
At this moment, Freddy came to his apartment. When he walked into the gym, Qin Xiong was lying on the massage bed. He smiled and greeted Freddy.
"Hi, Kyle, let's have dinner together tonight?"
Freddy smiled and said, "No problem."
The two men began to chat. After the massage was over, only the two of them were left in the gym. Freddy suddenly became serious and said to Qin Xiong, "Do you have any thoughts of leaving Arsenal?"
Qin Xiong was about to go to the bathroom when he heard Freddy's words. He walked back and sat down next to Freddy. He shook his head and said, "It's good here. Why should I leave? After all, I've just adapted to life here. "
Perhaps life in London was not the best, but the competitive environment that Arsenal provided to Qin Xiong might be the best.
He was valued by Wenger, and the team's technical and tactical style could be perfectly combined with his personal characteristics.
For the time being, he had no reason to leave.
Freddy bowed his head in silence. Qin Xiong asked curiously, "Tell me, which club wants to buy me?"
This kind of topic would not be easily discussed between them, because Qin Xiong had to be very cautious with every step he took in his professional career.
Freddy generally would not use this kind of topic to affect Qin Xiong unless there was a major opportunity.
Freddy looked up and took a deep breath. He said in a deep voice, "Real Madrid and Inter Milan."
There were only a few powerhouses in Europe. Those who could afford the money and make Qin Xiong willing to transfer were those who were attractive enough. In fact, there were even fewer.
Even if the clubs in England were interested in Qin Xiong and had the strength to complete the transfer, there was a 99% chance that Arsenal would not let Qin Xiong leave.
Qin Xiong thought seriously for a moment and asked, "I don't want to go to Italy for the time being. Not only am I unfamiliar with the place, but I also don't know the language. By the way, I've learned Spanish pretty well now, and there's no big problem with oral communication. Should I learn another foreign language? Is Italian difficult? "
Freddy blurted out, "Pronunciation is harder to master than English … Hey, are you changing the subject? Oh, you mean you won't transfer to Inter Milan. What about Real Madrid? "
Qin Xiong asked in return, "Last year, it seemed like they just wanted to buy me symbolically. What about this year?"
Freddy said seriously, "This year is different. Real Madrid's superstar lineup is aging. They really need a new force! Moreover, they have collapsed at the end of the season for two years in a row. Real Madrid's superstar policy is under unprecedented pressure! "
Qin Xiong nodded in understanding. He did not know much about the situation in Real Madrid. He told Freddy his thoughts frankly.
"Kyle, you see, I have become one of the top three important players in Arsenal. I have a position here, and more and more fans support me. If, as you said, Real Madrid needs me, what kind of position will I have in Real Madrid? I will still survive under the halo of the superstars. That's not what I want. It's not that I'm afraid of anything, but I hope I can get fair treatment and evaluation. "
Superstars were different from football stars. Superstars were too famous, and their status was too high. Before Qin Xiong became a superstar, what could he use to compete? Strength? He was no longer a young boy who had not stepped into the football world. If he naively thought that in front of superstars, he could only say that he was naive and childish. Unfortunately, he was more mature than before.
Freddy understood Qin Xiong's real thoughts and said, "Okay, then I'm going to take the second plan."
"What do you mean?"
"Use the other clubs' interest in buying you to put pressure on Arsenal Football Club to give you a raise and renew your contract!"
