Qin Xiong's bad mood was refreshed. It was as if he saw a bright future. Most importantly, he had a direction, a direction to work towards. He was no longer trapped in a cage and aimlessly thinking about things.
When Freddy returned to his apartment, he found Qin Xiong standing at his door with an unconcealable smile on his face. He said, "I want to borrow your computer."
Freddy held back his laughter as he opened the door and extended his hand. Qin Xiong immediately entered the room and went straight to Freddy's study. He turned on the computer, connected to the Internet, and searched for all information about Ajax.
He was now frantically trying to understand the situation of the club and be prepared to meet the challenge: trial!
Freddy leaned against the door and looked at Qin Xiong, who was browsing the Internet seriously. He could not help but smile.
In fact, Freddy was involved in helping Qin Xiong obtain the qualification to go to Ajax's trial. He did not deliberately hide it from Qin Xiong. It was just that the matter had not been settled and it was not good to inform him in advance. If it did not succeed, it would make Qin Xiong happy for nothing. That would not be good.
As a China player and without any professional league experience, it was extremely difficult for Qin Xiong to enter Europe.
The restrictions on foreign players in European football had to be mentioned.
One was foreign aid.
The scope of foreign aid was very wide, including two types of EU passports and non-European players.
European football followed the laws of the EU. Citizens of EU member states had the right to free employment. Therefore, as long as they had an EU passport, players could play for teams in EU member states without restrictions.
Qin Xiong did not have an EU passport, and China did not recognize dual nationality. Therefore, it was impossible for him to have an EU passport now and in the future.
The other was a non-European player.
For the European football world, non-European players were the real outsiders, and the quota was strictly limited.
For example, in England, the introduction of non-European players required a hearing and a work permit. With Qin Xiong's current situation, it was impossible for him to obtain a work permit to enter English football.
Another example would be Italy. Every season, the club would only have one non-European player's transfer quota. With such a precious transfer quota, 99% of the clubs would not waste it on an unknown Qin Xiong.
For example, in Spain and Germany, the clubs would have a limit on the number of non-European players. In Spain, there were four players. For most clubs, such a limit was sometimes harsher than the conditions in Italy. After all, it was the upper limit of the number of non-European players that could be recruited.
Basically, it was impossible for Qin Xiong to enter the top four European leagues in one go.
His status as a non-European foreign aid would deter the clubs who had seen him play.
Freddy also had some considerations when he planned this.
In Chinese words, one would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.
For example, when Liu Yi entered the German football world, he started from the Bundesliga. Although he caused a sensation in the country, he had no influence relative to the world of football.
In planning for Qin Xiong's future, Freddy hoped that he could go to a club with a greater influence.
Although the Eredivisie league was second-rate in Europe in terms of popularity and influence, the Ajax club was at the level of Europe's first-rate. Most importantly, Ajax's competitiveness in the country was guaranteed, which meant that there was a European stage for Qin Xiong. Of course, the premise was that Qin Xiong could be recognized by Ajax and gain a foothold there.
Moreover, Ajax itself had a certain foundation in Europe. It was the perfect springboard for Qin Xiong's career development.
Qin Xiong browsed all the information about Ajax in front of the computer happily.
Of course, he knew about the famous Ajax club. Even when he was growing up, the coach would quote the video of Ajax's top matches in his analysis of the game.
As he got to know Jax better, he was deeply attracted to him.
It could be said that Ajax was the backbone of Dutch football. The graduates of Ajax's youth training system almost included the development of the entire Dutch football world. Great players such as Cruyff, van Basten, Bergkamp, and so on were idols in the hearts of many fans in different eras all over the world.
Compared to many famous youth training bases, there would be fluctuations in peaks and valleys, but Ajax had almost always maintained a very high standard, until today!
What made Qin Xiong obsessed was that Ajax had given birth to a world-shaking total offense and defense system. It was under such a system that great players such as Cruyff and Neeskens learned to play with elegance and confidence!
Qin Xiong yearned for this very much. Although outsiders would always praise him for his fast speed, strong resistance, and exquisite football skills, he knew himself well. His biggest characteristic was his creativity on the field!
The display of creativity was more dependent on a team's tactical system!
Especially offense!
Perhaps there was no other country that could play offensive football as tirelessly as the Dutch, and Ajax was the flag team of this country!
It was hard to imagine that in just a few hours, Qin Xiong had set his sights on Ajax as if he was possessed!
He had always been a persistent person. Once he had decided on something, he would stick to it until the end!
He would not give up until he achieved his goal!
He wanted to land in the Netherlands, he wanted to enter Ajax, he wanted to achieve success there!
As time passed, Freddy kept reminding Qin Xiong that it was late and that he should go back and rest, but Qin Xiong stared at the computer again and again, without turning his head, and said, "Wait a little longer, wait a little longer."
Freddy was helpless. When he came back from his shower, he saw that Qin Xiong had found the video of Ajax's last season's game and was watching it seriously. However, Qin Xiong kept frowning as he watched.
The reason was simple. He could not find the video of the entire game, and could only understand it through the game highlights.
For Qin Xiong, who played in the midfield position on the field, these game highlights had no analysis value. Without a panoramic view of the overall situation, it was impossible to make the correct judgment and analysis.
Most of the game highlights were to attract eyeballs. The shocking goals and threatening shots were all edited clips. There was not even a single clip of the whole process of the two teams' offense and defense. If Qin Xiong was a simple fan, there was no harm in watching such game highlights. However, for someone who wanted to understand a team, there was really not much to learn from them.
In the past, Qin Xiong had always maintained a good work and rest schedule. He would at least ensure eight hours of sleep a day, sometimes more. However, today, he only slept for four hours. However, he still did not slack off in the next day's training. Outsiders could not see that he did not have enough rest at all because the motivation in his heart was stronger than ever before. The excitement of his mental activities seemed to make him forget his fatigue, and his body contained endless energy.
Freddy had to ask the coach to reduce Qin Xiong's training load. At the same time, he warned Qin Xiong, "Now you need to prepare for the trial. Abundant energy is the most basic guarantee!"
After the initial excitement, Qin Xiong calmed down and began to conserve his energy. Everything was to prepare for the trial in the Netherlands.
Three days later, before the sun had even risen, Qin Xiong took his luggage from his room. The only thing he needed to take with him was a large shoulder bag that could hold so many things.
His documents, two sets of clothes, a pair of sneakers, and a sketchbook were all gone.
It was not that he did not want to take more, just like how he liked the juicer in the room and the football-style alarm clock. However, those did not belong to him!
Freddy also went into the game lightly, only carrying a medium-sized suitcase. Other than the old man on duty, the two did not disturb anyone when they left.
At dawn, Qin Xiong and Freddy took a bus to the airport in the provincial capital.
What surprised Qin Xiong was that the tickets Tang Tian booked for them were actually first-class.
Qin Xiong boarded the plane and sat by the window. When the plane took off and arrived above the clouds, Qin Xiong looked at the sea of clouds outside the window. In fact, there was not much scenery. However, he still took out his sketchbook and used a pencil to quickly draw on the blank page.
Freddy was reading at the side. He looked at Qin Xiong with interest and found that Qin Xiong had a smile on his face. From the side, he looked like a handsome young man.
When Qin Xiong finished drawing, Freddy immediately reached out to take the sketchbook and admired it.
As expected, the first half of the drawing was very normal.
The boundless sea of clouds and the dazzling rising sun.
However, the abnormal part made Freddy's eyes light up.
A figure in the style of a general from ancient China stood proudly above the clouds with both hands holding a sword in front of him. Behind him was the rising sun.
Looking at the direction that this majestic general was looking at, it was the west!
Freddy turned his head meaningfully to look at Qin Xiong, who was resting his chin on his hand and smiling.
General Qin pointed his sword to the west?
