What was supposed to be a fierce and passionate football game was not reflected much in today's charity game. In the end, Qin Xiong led the Sichuan local team to defeat the Hong Kong star football team with a two-goal advantage. The game ended in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.
After the game, all the people who performed on the stage walked into the stadium. They stood in a row hand in hand and bowed to the stands to express their gratitude!
The cheers of the Longquan Stadium resounded through the sky, and the applause lasted for a long time. Every audience in the stands stood up and applauded.
Huang Jianxiang, who was the emcee of the scene, began to announce every donation from corporate donations and thank the major sponsors who organized the game.
Today, including tickets, sponsorships, and personal and corporate donations, a total of more than 38.59 million yuan was raised for the disaster area.
The charity game was also broadcast on CCTV News Simulcast in the evening!
Qin Xiong did not expect the event to be held smoothly. The effect was beyond his imagination.
In the evening, they held a celebration banquet. In fact, it was also a farewell dinner. The same hotel, the same expenses, and the same hearty laughter.
People from all walks of life took photos together as a souvenir and agreed to invite all parties to future charity activities. If they were free, they would be duty-bound.
The China Olympic team returned to the Xianghe National Men's Football Training Base to prepare for the Olympic Games that would open in a month.
Qin Xiong, on the other hand, was granted half a month of leave.
He and Sylvia returned to their hometown, Jiangcheng, to enjoy a peaceful holiday in this small city.
At the same time, the 2008 UEFA European Championship in Austria and Switzerland came to an end. The former king of the qualifiers, Spain, finally reached the top of Europe and won the UEFA European Championship!
The war in Europe was temporarily extinguished, and the club's transfer work also entered the stage of real swords and guns.
Since before the UEFA European Championship, Real Madrid's transfer work was focused on one player!
Ronaldo!
Calderón and Mijatović seemed to have forgotten that the club had announced that they would not bring in Ronaldo, Fàbregas, and other players.
Perhaps it was not forgotten, but people should not believe the rumors that Real Madrid refuted at that time to appease the locker room.
After all, at the beginning of 2008, Real Madrid shouted the slogan: The most important signing of the year was to bring Ronaldo to Bernabéu!
The Spanish media was looking forward to Real Madrid becoming a giant in Europe after Ronaldo's arrival!
The Real Madrid fans were also looking forward to the team having the two best players in Europe last season.
The first was Qin Xiong, and the second was Ronaldo.
With the combination of the two swords, it was only a matter of time before Real Madrid established a dynasty!
However, things were not as simple as they seemed.
Ferguson's attitude at Manchester United was particularly tough.
He had treated Ronaldo well. At this time, he had specifically sought out Ronaldo for a chat and openly stated his position!
"If I sell you to Real Madrid this summer, I won't have any face left!"
Yes, although Real Madrid had not bought many players from Manchester United in the past few years, the last famous superstar was David Beckham, and last year they bought Heinze. If they took away Ronaldo now, Manchester United's position in European football was bound to be severely damaged!
They were like Real Madrid's "supermarket". Real Madrid could buy whoever they wanted.
Moreover, Manchester United's image in the outside world was bound to suffer a painful blow if they had just lost to Real Madrid in the Champions League and sold their star player to Real Madrid!
Ferguson was personally very concerned about Manchester United's image.
He knew that Ronaldo wanted to go to Real Madrid, and some things could not be stopped. However, in any case, Ferguson could not send Ronaldo to Bernabéu in the summer of 2008.
As a result, the biggest transfer soap opera of the summer began.
Calderón tried different ways to pursue Ronaldo.
Ronaldo: I want to go to Real Madrid. Joining Real Madrid was my childhood dream.
Ferguson: I won't sell a single virus to Real Madrid!
.....
Real Madrid's tireless pursuit of Ronaldo angered at least three parties.
The first party was naturally the Manchester United club.
The second party was Robinho!
Robinho, who was completely reduced to a substitute at the end of the last season, was worried about his future in Real Madrid.
This was great. The club openly pursued Ronaldo. Regardless of whether the deal could be made, at least the club clearly no longer valued his existence!
As a result, Robinho was disheartened and wanted to leave. His agent informed the club's players to seek a transfer away.
At the same time, his agent secretly flirted with Manchester City, who had money but could not spend it.
When Manchester City offered 35 million euros for Robinho, Calderón thought about it and started negotiations with the other party.
The final price was raised by 10 million euros.
Robinho transferred to Manchester City for 45 million euros!
Bosque strongly opposed the transfer.
Yes, Robinho had a tendency to degenerate, but it was not to the point where he did not even have the power to fight!
Ronaldo could come, ideally, it would be the best, but Manchester United refused to let him go. Real Madrid sold the important rotation winger player. Bosque suddenly had no cards in his hands.
Snede and Robben obviously could not be fully available, especially since Robben was prone to injuries. When they were absent or needed to rotate, who could he rely on?
Was it Drent, who barely played any matches last season?
But Bosque could not intervene in Calderón and Mijatović's decision-making.
Calderón even proudly thought that he had made money on Robinho after receiving the cash from Manchester City to make up for the club's financial problems.
Real Madrid could get rid of the image of being a spendthrift in the transfer market, which was a glorious achievement in his political career.
The third party was angered by Qin Xiong and his agent.
In late July, when Real Madrid was still in the soap opera with Ronaldo, Freddy personally went to see Calderón and expressed his position on behalf of Qin Xiong.
"If Real Madrid can't tell whether it is more important to treat the team's biggest contributor or to pursue other teams' superstars, then we don't need to continue the talks with Qin Xiong!"
Calderón naturally had to appease Freddy and said that he was giving Qin Xiong a contract that would definitely satisfy Qin Xiong!
Freddy did not appreciate it.
The reason was simple. As long as the soap opera between Real Madrid and Ronaldo did not end, Qin Xiong signing a new contract had "risks"!
Qin Xiong should get the position he deserved in the club, but Real Madrid was so fanatical in pursuing Ronaldo and at the same time wanted to persuade Ronaldo to come to Bernabéu. What kind of conditions would Real Madrid offer to Ronaldo?
