Sorry for the late update.

-------

From the state of his teammates on the way back to Amsterdam, Qin Xiong can find that everyone attaches great importance to the Champions League!

Playing Alkmaar is the top battle!

But after winning this game, the whole team didn't seem to be very excited. This was completely different from the excitement of conquering the Philips Stadium a week ago. The gap was huge!

It's not because winning is a matter of course. We are all young people. It is normal to take advantage of this opportunity to be happy and engage in some activities, and it is even a practice in the club's locker room.

Obviously, it is because AC Milan will be airborne in Amsterdam in a few days, and there will be a life-and-death battle in the Champions League, which makes the team have no time to relax, just as the head coach Koeman said.

Perhaps many teammates have the same idea as Ibrahimovic.

Conquer the Netherlands?

That's not going to add much to their career laurels.

On their current stage, the UEFA Champions League is the real blockbuster and famous scene with one goal!

Attention from all over the world!

Perhaps it was the sense of urgency that the big battle was imminent, so that the teammates sat in the bus, chatted for a few words and then fell silent, recharging their energy.

Qin Xiong also planned to take a nap, but the head coach Koeman walked to his seat and patted him on the shoulder. When he opened his eyes, he saw Koeman waving at him solemnly.

Qin Xiong got up and walked to the front seat with Coman.

The two sat on the left-hand side of the front row of the carriage, and no one came to disturb them.

Koeman took out a tactical book, on which the tactical formation was drawn.

He solemnly said to Qin Xiong: "Qin Xiong, I will arrange for you to be a substitute for the match in four days' time."

substitute? !

Qin Xiong was puzzled, he thought he was already qualified to be the starter in key battles, so he should too!

Koeman continued: "Don't think that the substitute is a secondary role. Listen clearly. AC Milan is stronger than us. As for why, I don't need to explain. They are the champions of the Champions League. It's that simple. They are stronger than us, much stronger. !Facing powerful opponents, we need to formulate a perfect strategy to defeat them! I need you to play a more threatening role than usual, so you can't start, and you can't be alerted by your opponents from the beginning, so keep marking! Below , I will tell you in detail our strategic deployment for the game in four days..."

Qin Xiong listened patiently and carefully to Koeman's vision of playing AC Milan.

Substitutes are considered secondary roles most of the time, which is normal.

But this time, Qin Xiong understood that Coman was betting on himself!

It is planned to let myself come off the bench.

There are two reasons.

First, tactical surprise!

Second, strategically magnify Qin Xiong's advantages!

That is, let his teammates consume AC Milan first, and after Qin Xiong, who is physically strong, comes on the field, his speed advantage can be further stimulated!

Even though Ajax has the home advantage, facing the Champions League defending champion AC Milan, it is still a situation of weak against strong.

Playing against the strong with the weak, Koeman can't play the game with full strength for 90 minutes in the planned game, which may not change the whole situation. AC Milan is strong!

Therefore, Koeman only intends to let Ajax explode for a period of time, trying to catch AC Milan by surprise.

Since Qin Xiong is a surprise soldier, then he must maximize the power of the surprise soldier!

Including creating a favorable situation for Qin Xiong after playing.

Just like in the Dutch national derby, Qin Xiong's physical advantage in the second half was particularly obvious, and he was unstoppable!

"Now the standings of our group are: Celta Vigo 2 points, us 3 points, AC Milan 4 points, Club Brugge 7 points."

"AC Milan came to Amsterdam. To be safe, they can accept 1 point, because in the fifth and sixth rounds, they will play against Bruges and Celta. In that case, they only need to win the next two games , there will be at least 10 points, qualifying will not be a problem."

"We will take advantage of this as much as possible in the early stages of the game, and consume AC Milan as a whole at the least cost."

"That's right, it's our winger Sikora. I will ask him to use his physical strength to attack the opponent's defense."

"I'll give you at least 45 minutes, and in those 45 minutes, you have to do your best, your role will change, most of your organizational tasks will go to Garasek, and we will play AC Milan. , you still need double midfielders, and you have to play the role of raider!"

......

If Qin Xiong was an insignificant and ordinary substitute, Koeman would not communicate with him for more than an hour on the way back.

Qin Xiong has an intuitive understanding of the head coach's emphasis on the life-and-death battle of the Champions League.

From the grand strategic situation, to the analysis of the opponent's domestic arena, to the opponent's tactics and tactics, and the characteristics of the players, Qin Xiong will be informed of everything in detail, trying to make Qin Xiong fully prepared and maximize his performance in the game. Play a role.

When returning to Amsterdam, Qin Xiong got off the car and went back to Waddell Street alone.

He didn't have the joy of winning the league and scoring goals and assists personally. Instead, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous, which was probably infected by Koeman's serious state.

Amsterdam, invisibly, is filled with a breath of wind and rain.

When returning to Wardle Street, Sylvia ran out of the restaurant on her own initiative, congratulating Qin Xiong with a gentle smile on her face, which made Qin Xiong relieve the tension in his heart, and chatted with her a few words.

She watched the live broadcast of the game in the restaurant in the afternoon, and when she saw Qin Xiong again, she was very surprised. She seemed to feel that the Qin Xiong on the TV screen and the face-to-face Qin Xiong in reality were not the same person.

In life, Qin Xiong is quite indifferent to the world, but on the court, he is sometimes free and unrestrained, sometimes wild and unrestrained, sometimes resolute and brave...

When having dinner in the restaurant, many locals came to Qin Xiong to ask for autographs, and some football-loving tourists asked him to take a group photo with him, which made Qin Xiong a little flattered and uncomfortable.

He doesn't want to be treated specially in life, as if a passer-by will look at him with different eyes, but there is no way, this is the way he wants to go, to become a successful person in the green field, and naturally, he will become star.

After dinner, Freddy said to Qin Xiong with a smile: "Guess who called me just now?"

Qin Xiong raised his eyebrows and said helplessly, "How could I know?"

Freddy grinned and said, "Someone asked you to shoot an advertisement and be a brand spokesperson!"

"Aha?"

Qin Xiong was taken aback, feeling incredible.

so fast?

He has only been in Amsterdam for a little over two months.

Freddy smiled and said: "In Amsterdam, you are already the number one admired star among the Chinese fans. Don't think it's impossible. The Dutch national derby, the first match of the Eredivisie, 7 days, two key games , you scored 2 goals and 3 assists, your limelight overwhelmed many local stars, of course you are famous."

Qin Xiong thought about it, and he also took it for granted.

"What commercial? What endorsement?"

he asked curiously.

Freddy shook his head suddenly, and said: "It's all Chinese doing business in the Netherlands. Small business, it has a little influence in the Netherlands. I want you to endorse, shoot advertisements to promote products, snack advertisements, I guess, It’s nothing more than asking you to eat two bites of their snacks, and then give them a compliment, but I have already refused, thinking that this will affect your job, if you are interested, I can contact the other party.”

Qin Xiong immediately shook his head seriously.

At this stage, he just wants to focus on playing football.

Freddy shrugged. He also thought that it would be better for Qin Xiong not to participate in business activities prematurely.

Although in view of Qin Xiong's background, especially the background of China, an emerging market, as long as Qin Xiong becomes a star, he will inevitably have business activities, but he is only 18 years old, it is better to focus on football as much as possible.

In the past few days, Qin Xiong has gotten used to sitting on the outdoor tables and chairs after dinner, quietly admiring Sylvia's busy figure coming in and out. If the restaurant closes early, he might even help out.

After Sylvia walked into the room, he suddenly looked at Freddy again and asked, "How much money can I make from shooting commercials?"

Freddy raised his right hand, fingers spread.

Qin Xiong frowned and said, "It's only 500 euros?"

Freddie chuckled and shook his head.

"5000 euros? More than my two-month salary."

"Hehe, 5000 euros? You look down on yourself too much. 5 euros!"

Qin Xiong took a deep breath, then smiled and said, "Then am I a player worth 5 euros now?"

Freddy frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "According to your recent performance on the court, I think you should be worth at least 200 million euros."

Qin Xiong didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "The value I mentioned to you seems to be different. I mean I can earn 5 euros, and you said 200 million euros, who will give it to me?"

Freddy was silent for a moment, as if what Qin Xiong said made sense.

For example, Zidane is the most valuable player in the world, but the transfer fee is so much, but it is not for Zidane.

He waved his hand and said, "Then just work hard, and sooner or later you will earn 200 million euros."

Qin Xiong rolled his eyes, put on his shoulder bag and returned to the apartment with a smile.
