Frost Shooter of Greenery

Chapter 66 Vacation and popularity boost

During this period of time, Sparta Rotterdam's record is quite good, and the players are naturally very happy, ushering in a rare rest day, many players are planning a short-term vacation or travel, except Qi Ce.

The reason is simple, because... poor!

Qi Ce's salary is only [-] Euros now, and there is no salary increase when he is loaned to the Sparta team. If money is only considered, life can be described as miserable.

However, relying on the aid from his parents before going abroad and the wages he saved from part-time jobs, it’s okay to travel poorly. On rest days, Qi Ce decided to leave football occasionally to experience the city.

In fact, the status of Rotterdam in the Netherlands is very similar to that of Shanghai in China. The high degree of urbanization makes the city look very advanced, and thus loses some traditional rural flavor. Most of the so-called scenic spots in Rotterdam are buildings, such as the European Tower. Rubik's Cube House, various museums, bridges, etc., natural scenery and ancient buildings are all scarce resources in Rotterdam.

If you want to say that when you mention the Netherlands, you naturally think of the red light district, then Rotterdam may disappoint you.

As one of the four famous red-light districts in Europe, Rotterdam was once civilized in the red-light circle. However, two years ago, in 2005, Rotterdam announced the closure of the famous Kelliwig Street in the city. The Rotterdam red-light district has withdrawn from the stage of history.

In the past two days, Zize rode a rented bicycle around Rotterdam like a poor tourist who just arrived in the Netherlands. He wanted to see the windmills and tulips, but it was late autumn and the tulips were gone. Zize rode a bicycle to visit the famous windmill scenic spots around.

It is worth mentioning that Kinderdijk on the outskirts of Rotterdam is the most famous scenic spot in Rotterdam. It is located about ten kilometers southeast of Rotterdam. Zize rode a bicycle all the way from the city to this place.

In fact, cycling is also a good exercise. In Europe, Qi Ce's main mode of travel is cycling, which is also very helpful for playing football.

Especially for people with poor physical fitness, cycling can exercise cardiopulmonary function.

Kinderdijk is the most famous windmill group in the Netherlands. There are 19 ancient and huge windmills. In 1997, UNESCO listed it on the World Heritage List, and there are many tourists who come here every year.

It’s just that in the late autumn season, there are not many windmills that turn. It is said that only in summer can we see the spectacular scene of 19 windmills turning together, which made Qi Ce a little disappointed.

After a large group of people in the tour group left, Qi Ce rode a bicycle on the country road in the countryside of Fengche Village, listening to the sound of the impeller at the top of the windmill being blown by the wind, it was a kind of enjoyment.

In addition to the vacation, Guo Zhibin called Qi Ce for a short interview. This interview was Guo Zhibin's careful thought. His report really caught the attention of domestic colleagues. There will inevitably be many domestic reporters in the next game Before arriving in Rotterdam, Guo Zhibin planned to catch Qi Ce firmly.

Guo Zhibin came to Europe partly because of Qi Ce. Qi Ce can become famous, so of course he will not let go of this opportunity.

The content of the interview is very simple, as Guo Zhibin said, it is a very brief interview, Qi Ce can only be regarded as a small celebrity now, and generally young players of this level rarely have such an exclusive interview, but Guo Zhibin himself aligned The policy is very optimistic, and only then has this opportunity.

The content is probably Zize's game and life in Europe during this period, as well as his views on his next opponent Ajax, and suggestions for other young players to study abroad.

The holiday was fleeting, and the team immediately started preparing for the game. Facing a team of the level of Ajax, it was easier than usual to prepare for the game.

It is true that this game is a major event for many domestic media. Qi Ce performed well in Europe, but it was Guo Zhibin who published a few articles after the game that really caught the attention of the mainstream media.

It's just that in the Netherlands, this game is just an ordinary league game, especially in the Sparta team.

Out of the relegation zone, facing giants, relegation teams rarely aim for three points, it all depends on the on-the-spot status.

This is not a negative treatment. It is of course best to win, but the goal of the relegation team is to stay in relegation, and winning points in the life-and-death battle with the relegation opponent is the most concerned object of the relegation team. Those who aim to win every game are not relegation teams.

Therefore, preparations are very easy, and most of the pre-match drills are mainly defensive counterattacks. Even if it is a unified strategy, it is necessary to invest in defense during training.

Zize's performance in training was as usual.

Pines coined a new term for Zitzer, called a game player.

Zitzer is better in games than in practice...well, honestly, overall, it's actually only slightly better, but in some unbelievable moments, Zitzer explodes with incredible energy.

The most obvious thing is his long-range shot, that kind of sudden cold shot, which makes the goalkeepers of the Eredivisie miserable. If we must find a reason to beat Ajax, Sparta Rotterdam can only rely on Zize to win the game. The vagaries of play in the play.

Oh, by the way, there are two other advantages. As the largest giant in the Netherlands, Ajax has many international players. They have just participated in the national team competition. The time is very tight and there is no time to recover. The league We must reignite the flames of war.

Ajax has a lot of international players participating in the national team competition. The Dutch national team alone has contributed seven players, including many main players, including defender Heitinga, midfielder Maduro, and forward Huntelaar. , the central axis of goalkeeper Stekelenberg, in addition, Belgian internationals Vermaelen, Vertonghen, Uruguayan supernova Suarez, Danish winger Romedal and others all participated in the national team competition.

Another positive point is that Ajax has just changed coaches recently. The former head coach Henk Ten Carter joined the Premier League upstart Chelsea. Chelsea's wealthy Russian businessman owner Abramovich paid him a termination fee of 400 million euros.

The replacement was Ajax reserve team coach Adri Koster, who had never had the experience of coaching the first team.

The Rotterdam team is waiting for work and is fully prepared to face Ajax at home.

Rotterdam was very lively on the day of the match. The fans are very happy with the recent success of the record. The tickets for the Sparta Stadium were sold out early, and many fans who did not buy tickets gathered outside the stadium. Guo Zhibin, as always, Arrived at Spartan Stadium two hours early.

When he arrived, many fans had already gathered in twos and threes. He also saw many yellow-skinned Asians, some with press cards, some without.

Guo Zhibin took out his press card and went to interview several Asians who did not have a press card.

Sure enough, they were Chinese, and they came here to watch Qi Ce's game. The leading boys claimed that they were members of Qi Ce's fan club. As long as conditions allowed, they would watch the game on the spot and support Qi Ce.

In addition to the Chinese, Guo Zhibin also saw many Dutch people holding the No. 24 jersey of Qi Ce. Qi Ce has completely conquered the local fans with his performance in the last few games.

While there was still time, Guo Zhibin interviewed some local fans and managers of the Sparta fan store in Rotterdam, and he was very interested in a piece of news.

Sparta Rotterdam rarely print jerseys for loan players. After all, most loan players will not stay long, especially for short-term loans like Zize.

But just a week ago, the team decided to rush to make a batch of Zize's No. 24 jerseys for sale. The reason is that the team's official website has received many fans' wishes, hoping that the team will put Zize's jerseys on the shelves as soon as possible. The first batch of jerseys was only about [-] pieces, and as soon as they arrived in the store, they were sold out the next day.

Among them, the Qi Ce fans will be very proud. Li Yang's fan club at school already has hundreds of members, including Chinese and foreigners. These fans took half of the first batch of jerseys.

Zize doesn't know about this yet, but he can get a glimpse of it in the virtual stadium. Since he came to the Netherlands, the expansion of the virtual stadium has been faster than at any time this year. The stands have also expanded a lot, and the facilities in the stadium have also improved. Gradually improve.

Entering the virtual stadium this time, the locker room has been expanded again, and a gym has been added. There are basic exercise facilities in it, which are similar to ordinary gyms. You can exercise here, and you can maintain your physical shape in reality, as well as strength, endurance and other attributes. helpful.

Qi Ce spent a sum of football coins to update the training partner, and the training on the virtual stadium is also very important, which is no worse than in reality.

What's interesting is that for the group of players who were replaced, Zize could set their actions, leaving some to watch from the bench, and the rest chose to act freely. As a result, they appeared in the gym, locker room and other places .

Zize doesn't know what these settings are useful for, but overall, it's quite interesting.
