The Champions League Group H team staged a reversal drama that fans talked about.

AC Milan, which only scored 1 point in the first two rounds, qualified ahead of schedule after a 3-game winning streak!

And Brugge, who led the standings from the first round of the group stage and scored 8 points in four games, unexpectedly lost a game in the fifth round, and had to play a life-and-death battle with Ajax in the last game!

Ajax, who lost three games in the first four games, escaped from death and regained the initiative of fate!

Celta lost hope of advancing, was eliminated early, and could not even qualify for the Europa League. The final round did not start, and it was already doomed to be at the bottom of the ranking group.

The reversal of Celta Vigo became a milestone event for Qin Xiong to become well-known in European football.

The report card of two shots and one pass, and the lore at the last moment, let the European football world witness an amazingly talented young player on the highest stage in Europe!

The tone of the Dutch media has changed extremely quickly. Koeman has become a tactical master in their mouths. Combined with the strong performance of Ajax in the last two rounds of the league, the Champions League won and regained the initiative. Ajax's technical and tactical transformation Coman contributed a lot to the initial results, which also made him famous.

It's just that the media's stance against the coaches or players of football clubs is not always firm. Perhaps today's boasting is for the purpose of stepping on them even harder tomorrow when they fall into trouble!

The higher you are lifted, the worse it will be when you fall down!

In this way, there is no lack of news in the football circle, no lack of focus topics, and no lack of outside attention.

When the team returned to Amsterdam, it was already the early morning of the next day. Qin Xiong slept in the apartment for eight hours. After getting up, it was close to noon. He did some light exercise and went downstairs to have lunch. Termanson, Freddy, and Pist set up a table of sumptuous food in the small restaurant.

De Coyze ran out of the restaurant, stepped forward to hug Qin Xiong, and said with a wide smile: "Qin Xiong, you were amazing in the game last night! Come, come, we have prepared a celebration banquet for you!"

The old customers who came to eat in the restaurant also knew Qin Xiong, and knew that there was an Ajax player living nearby. They smiled and nodded to Qin Xiong, and some young people would take the initiative to ask Qin Xiong to take a photo and sign.

If it is said that the Dutch national derby made Qin Xiong famous, then the brilliant performance in the Champions League will make him famous all over the Netherlands.

Kindness is difficult.

Qin Xiong walked into the restaurant, feeling a little weird.

Celebration feast?

What is there to celebrate with four older men?

Still, the vibe of the meal was very homely.

After lunch, before Qin Xiong went to the club, Freddy stopped him, and the two chatted outside the restaurant in front of tables and chairs.

"A representative of Ajax called me this morning to renew the contract with you."

Qin Xiong didn't make a fuss when he heard the words. In fact, Van Gaal also mentioned this topic once or twice intentionally or unintentionally, but Van Gaal was not in charge of the specific affairs.

Qin Xiong fell into deep thought, and Freddie said solemnly: "The specific conditions are as follows: the contract period will be extended for three years, your salary will rise to 12000 euros per week, plus 2000 euros for appearance fees, 1000 euros for goals, and 800 for assists." Euro bonuses, and a 15% increase in the basic weekly salary every year. In addition, now that the contract is renewed, Ajax is willing to give you another 20 euros in signing fees, which will be paid immediately."

Qin Xiong's performance in the past three months proved that it was a wise decision for Ajax to sign him, but unfortunately, the contract Ajax signed with Qin Xiong three months ago did not have a strong guarantee.

This is also understandable, because Ajax may sign more than 18 young players every year, but most of them enter the U[-] or lower echelon.

When signing these players in the early stage, they should not be paid too high, otherwise, over time, the success rate of professional football is not high, which will easily lead to an increase in operating costs.

It is also a common practice for players who perform well and can stand out to renew their contracts immediately. Ajax's response is already considered fast, especially considering that Qin Xiong only entered the first team two months ago.

December is about to enter, according to Qin Xiong's contract period, in another 13 months, he will be able to negotiate a new contract with other teams openly, and 19 months later he will leave Ajax freely.

This is definitely not what Ajax wants to see.

So in order to retain the players, of course the salary is increased and the contract is renewed. Excluding competitive factors, the sincerity of the club to retain the players is reflected in one word: money!

After all, playing football is a job for a professional player to support his family.

Qin Xiong looked at Freddy and asked, "What's your response?"

Freddy said: "I didn't make any promises, I just said that I would consider it carefully, but my personal suggestion is that now is not the best time to decide whether to renew the contract. First, the Netherlands is not where your long-term goals are pursued. Second, if next summer you can finally maintain the momentum of the last two months this season, then you will have more options, even if no better club than Ajax throws at you An olive branch, but Ajax’s renewal conditions will definitely be more lucrative than now, because next summer, your contract period will only have one year left, and Ajax will bear a greater risk of losing you without return.”

Qin Xiong nodded.

In front of him is a contract that is a hundred times more lucrative than he is now, but this is just an immediate benefit. His career has just started. Although money is very important, he still needs to be cautious about how to maximize his benefits. Considering it, you can't sign a contract with the club as soon as you see the money in your head. It may seem that you have earned a lot, but in the long run, you may lose a lot invisibly.

This can be regarded as the experience he has learned from players such as De Jonsneijder. Their contracts are long. When they signed the contracts that year, they felt that the remuneration was very good, but the entire football environment is changing, especially the society that is accompanied by the economic crisis. Under the general background, the football industry is in a steady and prosperous trend. The operating costs are increasing year by year, and the salaries of the players are also rising. After two or three years, Sneijder and the others look at the contract remuneration. It is a bad move for the team to sign a long-term contract.

"In fact, Ajax is very good. If it is not for the competitiveness of the league, I may have the idea of ​​staying here for a long time, but just like some of my teammates, there are many local players in the Netherlands. For reference, no matter when that day comes, I have the idea of ​​leaving here in my heart. I know that contract renewal is a big matter that both parties must show sincerity. The club will give me a high salary, so I have to pay the price of freedom, which is reasonable, but Now that I don’t want to be restricted by a long-term contract, I don’t have the confidence to ask the club to give me a salary increase. Kyle, my bottom line is that the contract period will not be extended, and it has nothing to do with the salary. I want to see it. In the next year and a half, will there be an opportunity to go to a higher level league and take on new challenges."

Kyle-Freddie nodded gravely.

Qin Xiong coincided with his thoughts.

Although Qin Xiong is only gaining a firm foothold in Ajax now, he should take a long-term view. This is a risky decision. If his status declines, his worth will also decline. Maybe there will be no better in the future His club is willing to take him away, and Ajax will not give him a better contract treatment than he is now.

But this is life. At every fork in the road, you have to make your own choices and take your own risks.

After formally confirming the bottom line of negotiations on Ajax's contract extension with Freddy, Qin Xiong went to the club to participate in training.

Today will be a less intense recovery training, and the teammates are talking and laughing during the training.

As for the stories that happened during the game, it’s not that everyone forgets them, but that there’s no need to bring them up afterwards.

With the golf quotients of Ibrahimovic and van der Vaart, it is not a difficult problem to figure out.

It is nothing more than that your ability is not enough to place yourself above your teammates, and you can't carry the team forward. Then, don't be selfish, it will not do you any good, because your teammates, too. It's not unknown people, the team chemistry they produce, the burst of energy, is definitely stronger than you alone!
