soccer king

5 month 19 day.

Qin Xiong had breakfast early in the morning, and then walked towards the club with a shoulder bag on his back.

Today he did not choose to take a ride.

With the sea breeze blowing from the North Sea, the smell of summer has already permeated the city, which is refreshing.

On this road that he has walked countless times from the end of August last year to today, Qin Xiong admired the same scenery, but passed different people each time.

He has already become a well-known figure in this area. From time to time, people jogging in the morning will take the initiative to greet him when they pass by. They don't know each other, but Qin Xiong can feel the kindness of passers-by towards him, and there may be a touch of fanaticism. .

He always responds to these people the same way, and today is no exception.

When he was about to arrive at the training base, he stopped outside the Amsterdam Athletic Stadium, raised his head, and looked at this magnificent building that he was already very familiar with in a serious and calm manner.

About 2 minutes later, thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind. He still remembered that in the third round of the Champions League qualifier, he and Freddy were listening to the cheers erupting in the stadium on the street opposite the stadium. Go to the fantasy game scene.

At that time, he determined to become the protagonist of this stadium!

He did it, did it with no regrets!

Putting away his thoughts, he continued to walk towards the training base.

Today he walked into the training base as usual and greeted every staff member he met naturally.

When he came to the locker room, he saw the locker room administrator, a man who was not remembered by most of the players. He seemed to be over [-] years old, and he would tidy up the players' sneakers and jerseys every day, even after the players left the locker room. They made it a mess when they entered the locker room, and the next time they walked into the locker room, they would all see the locker room as brand new.

This old man over half a century old is named Fitz, and Qin Xiong can only remember so much. In fact, he doesn't pay much attention to the little people in the club, but such little people are respected from the bottom of his heart.

The content of Fitz's work, in the visible part of Qin Xiong, is extremely rigid and orderly.

The locker room must be spotless, the hanging jerseys are always with the jersey number facing out, and even if the same player has two pairs, three pairs or more sneakers, the placement is in accordance with a rule that has never been broken.

I remember once a staff member lost one of Ibrahimovic’s sneakers, and Fitz was furious because of this. He changed his usual kind-hearted attitude and yelled at the young staff member, as if the other party’s mistake made him feel angry. His work was greatly affected.

When Qin Xiong walked into the locker room, Fitz was checking whether the jerseys, shoes, and shin pads were placed in the order he was used to. After he finished checking, he turned around and saw Qin Xiong standing by the door. , he smiled kindly at Qin Xiong as usual, and said hello: "Good morning, young man."

Qin Xiong smiled and nodded at him, and also said good morning.

After Fitz left, Qin Xiong still leaned his back against the wall, his eyes slowly swept every corner of the dressing room, he closed his eyes, and couldn't help but smile knowingly.

In this locker room, there are many stories about him, or he is just a bystander. After a season, the atmosphere here is also changing, although it is not precious to every player. Happy memories, such as Sikora's smile decreased significantly in the second half of the season, Songk and Sotals were unhappy, O'Brien was still a transparent person who no one cared about, Litmanen became more and more silent and entered the role of a bystander middle......

But the main players who carried Ajax to become the king at home and forge ahead in Europe, they laughed here, complained here, fought here, and established a friendship here that cannot be expressed in words and can only be understood .

Qin Xiong will soon no longer be a part of this locker room.

Looking back on what happened here for most of the season, it may be as incredible as he stepped here for the first time, ignoring the eyes of others, changing jerseys here, and being made things difficult by Ibrahimovic.

Incredible players come together to create incredible miracles.

He likes Holland, from the bottom of his heart.

The theme here is youthful enthusiasm and amazing talent, Ajax, PSV Eindhoven, Feyenoord, the Dutch football represented by these teams, newcomers come out in large numbers every year, every year genius In the competition for the top position, miracles that may happen are being written every year.

But this is not his destination, at least at Qin Xiong's age, he thinks the Netherlands is no longer suitable for him.

This is the stage for newcomers to come out and veterans to provide for the elderly.

Qin Xiong thinks he is ready to meet new challenges.

So he will leave.

This day's training went on as usual. Qin Xiong was as serious as he was in his first training at Ajax. His teammates were not surprised, and the coach also took it for granted.

Qin Xiong has always maintained a focused attitude throughout the season's training. He seems to have become a totem in training and a warning sign that his teammates can see, even geniuses are no exception.

I don't know when, from the day his teammates really started to value him, he has been giving others pressure and a sense of crisis. The geniuses are afraid that Qin Xiong will take away all the glory, and the ordinary teammates are afraid of being dumped by Qin Xiong. On the day of turning around, such a sense of crisis promoted the team enthusiasm during team training.

When every drop of sweat was shed, the teammates were either catching up or trying to defeat Qin Xiong and gritted their teeth.

But by the end of the season, every teammate admired Qin Xiong from the bottom of their hearts.

This Chinese player, his success is by no means accidental.

Just relying on the concentration and hard work in training, this perseverance and determination are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Night falls.

The Amsterdam Arena is packed.

Ajax fans poured into the stadium. They played all kinds of slogans in the stands, congratulating the team on winning the championship, cheering for the stars, looking forward to the Champions League final and so on.

Qin Xiong and his starting teammates stood in the player tunnel waiting to play.

He held his head high, his eyes bright and energetic, and there seemed to be a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

This should be the last time he played in the Amsterdam Arena in the Ajax jersey!

There may be a chance to come back in the future, but he's not sure if he's still wearing an Ajax shirt then.

Fighting at home for the last time, fighting for the fans and myself at home for the last time!

When the referee led the players from both sides out of the player tunnel and stepped into the field, Qin Xiong's expression suddenly changed. His bright and gentle eyes became sharp as a knife, and the smile on his mouth disappeared, replaced by a sharp edge like a tiger!

In the hustle and bustle of the Amsterdam Athletic Stadium, among the confusing voices in the noisy stands, Qin Xiong still heard the new nickname that Dutch fans would shout when they cheered for him.

"China Xiong! China Xiong!"

That was the nickname given to him by Chinese fans, and it was quickly adopted by Dutch fans, and then when the season ended, it became a powerful echo in the Amsterdam Arena.

Walking into the stadium, standing in line, the kick-off ceremony was in progress, Qin Xiong turned his head and glanced at his teammates, each of his teammates looked similar to him, and they all made no secret of the sharpness that young and passionate people should have.

Maybe China has a way of dealing with the world that is better than the wind in the forest.

But I'm sorry, in the green world, you have to be famous as early as possible, and you have to fight while you are young!

There is nothing to hide here, nothing to hide and hide.

The Ajax 03-04 generation with their heads held high, their talents are astonishing, they are young and fearless, they want to show it to the world and shock the world!

"The first round of the Dutch Cup final of the 2003-2004 season is about to start at the Arena Arena in Amsterdam. Ajax, which has won the league title this season, will face Utrecht, which is ranked tenth in the league this season.

It seems that this is a game of great disparity, but Utrecht fans said in a random interview on the street before the game that their team has a chance to win the championship!

The reason is that they believe that Ajax will be distracted from the Champions League final, which will be held in Germany a week later, which will give Ajax a lot of reservations in the two-legged cup final.

But after seeing Ajax's starting lineup today, I don't think Utrecht fans will be naive to think that Ajax doesn't care about the Dutch Cup.

Koeman sent all the main players to start!

This is the first round of the final, and it is at Ajax's home court. Koeman will definitely win the game, and then the next game may be reserved. After all, the game is only three days away from the Champions League final !

Who will win the Holland Cup crown?The battle for the first 90 minutes begins immediately! "

When the referee blew the game whistle, Qin Xiong and his teammates mobilized their whole body's offensive factors without any communication. They quickly attacked the penalty area of ​​Utrecht, and they cooperated tacitly. , looking like a whole more than ever!
