240 Prologue to a New Era

Negotiations with Arsenal have officially come to an end.

Qin Xiong has reached an agreement with Arsenal to sign his name on a three-year contract.

However, the transfer needs to go through a process.

Arsenal will need to submit an application to the FA for the transfer, using the special talent clause to apply for a labour certification for Qin Xiong, a job that will not be too difficult, and Qin Xiong's table of last season's treble and Champions League final MVP is expected to go through a hearing process.

On the morning of June 4.

Qin Xiong returned to Ward Street.

He came back to pack his bags, and he booked a plane ticket with Freddie to return to China this morning.

The next time I return to Europe will be to London, England.

The reporters who had been ambushing Warder Street after the Champions League final had not seen Qin Xiong for a long time, and they had left a few days ago to prepare for the news coverage of the European Championships.

In the apartment on Ward Street, after Qin Xiong packed his simple luggage, he took out three envelopes and put them on the table, each with three names written on them.

Rutmanson, Pist, De Coyze.

The envelope contained cash.

Inside are the cost of his phone calls during his stay here, the cost of food, rent, and laundry.

After he started scoring goals for Ajax, he lived here at no cost, with accommodation, meals, laundry, all free of charge.

The three old men made good on last year's bet, but it was just a good-natured joke.

When Qin Xiong left, he still put these expenses in an envelope and gave them them.

He knew that if he gave them to them in person, he would definitely be rejected.

The three old men must define and say in correct words that they are very trustworthy people, and if they lose the bet, they will lose, so how can they break the contract?

Freddie bought a new large suitcase, containing more things than when he arrived, including Qin Xiong's sneakers and clothes, as well as some souvenirs, photo albums, personal awards, and so on that he had won at Ajax.

Qin Xiong walked downstairs with a large shoulder bag.

The three old men and Sivia and Sivia stood outside the apartment building waiting for him.

Georgia rushed over, buried her head in Qin Xiong's arms, wrapped her hands around his waist, and seemed reluctant to let him go.

Qin Xiong bent down and lowered his head and said something in his ear with a smile, telling him that he was already an adult and wanted to be a strong man!

He took Georgia's hand and walked up to Sylvia, who was wearing an ordinary dress today, and although her expression was smiling, her eyes were full of sadness.

Qin Xiong's mood was a little complicated, he couldn't tell what kind of love it was, he was silent for a while and then smiled: "Europe itself is not big, maybe we will meet again, I am on the island on the other side of the North Sea." โ€

Sylvia couldn't help but laugh when she heard this.

It is true, but Britain is not just an "island" enough to shorten the distance between them in the future.

Although she was laughing, her heart was also extremely complicated, she resisted the impulse and said to Qin Xiong: "If you don't like the weather in the UK, you can often come to Amsterdam to relax, you, take care." โ€

Qin Xiong nodded, and he cast his gaze on the three old men.

Pister said to him: "Go to Arsenal and don't lose Ajax's face, you are our pride. โ€

"If you come to the Netherlands for a vacation, you can still live here, and I will keep the house for you."

"And my restaurant, you're always welcome back."

Qin Xiong glanced at De Coize's restaurant, and one of the walls inside was already plastered with photos of him with the three old men, Freddy, Georgia, Sylvia, and some restaurant employees or fans.

It seems that this has become De Cojรตe's signature, telling all the guests who come here: Ajax star Qin Xiong is a regular customer.

Qin Xiong hugged the three old men one after another, told them to take care of their bodies, and then waved his hand to pick up his luggage and walked towards the street.

The three old men also waved their hands to watch Qin Xiong leave, and De Coize's eyes were a little moist.

They have witnessed the growth and fame of an Ajax player, and now Ajax's "child" is going to spread his wings and fly high, they did not accuse Qin Xiong of refusing to choose to renew his contract with Ajax, just as they looked down on the team's ups and downs, and the mentality at this time is to bless Qin Xiong!

At the corner of the street are three cool sports cars.

De Jong and Heitinga leaned against the car door with their arms around their chests, and Sneijder and a teenager also waited for Qin Xiong with their backs to the car door.

Three teammates came to see him off.

Freddie got into De Jong's car, Qin Xiong walked up to Sneijder, looked at the teenager next to Sneijder curiously, Sneijder said lightly: "My younger brother also plays for the Ajax youth team, you know, I haven't brought him out before, and he wants to see you off today." โ€

Qin Xiong took the initiative to greet Sneijder's younger brother, and the young man was very enthusiastic, and took the initiative to help Qin Xiong carry his luggage and then ran to Heitinga's side and got into Heitinga's car.

The sports car is a double seat, Sneijder opened the door of the passenger seat, Qin Xiong sat in, he didn't understand the car, so he could only say that this was a good car, after Sneijder started the car, Qin Xiong asked: "How did you buy a new car?" โ€

Sneijder put on his sunglasses and said lightly: "I just renewed my contract with the club, treat yourself." โ€

Qin Xiong nodded and stopped talking, he planned to buy a car in the future, but he had to learn to drive first.

When the three sports cars slowly started and disappeared at the intersection of the street, Sylvia suddenly felt a very painful heart, she ran to the intersection with a struggling face, and when she came to the corner and ran a few meters, he saw the sports car turn at the next intersection and disappear at the end of sight.

She bit her lower lip, her eyes moistened, and her expression was extremely complicated.

She knew that Qin Xiong left this time, maybe from now on, there would be no next chance encounter.

Heaven will not repeat once or twice the opportunity for two people to meet wonderfully in the vast sea of people.

If you don't grasp it, don't regret it!

She knew that Qin Xiong was going to England to play for the giants of the top league.

He is already a football star, and he will be even more famous in the future!

Sylvia never confessed to Qin Xiong in person, because she was scared, she was timid.

It's a strange world.

The rich are praised for falling in love with the poor.

The poor love the rich but are ridiculed!

Missed it?

Did you just miss it?

Sylvia's tears still couldn't help but slip from her eyes

Although Sneijder and the others bought a new sports car, they didn't seem to be racing as if they were trying to get up.

Qin Xiong sat in the passenger seat and looked out the window at the backward street scene, his heart was beating faster and faster, a strange emotion was making his heart beat faster.

Like fear, loss, blow, regret

He suddenly said in a deep voice, "Stop!" โ€

Sneijder parked the car on the side of the street, and when he saw Qin Xiong pushing the door and getting out of the car, he asked curiously, "Why are you going?" โ€

"Go solve a problem!"

From the rearview mirror, Qin Xiong was seen running wildly along the sidewalk.

Sneijder glanced at the sky, the wind was beautiful today, and he muttered: "Such good weather is suitable for seeing off and love." โ€

When running wildly towards Warder Street, Qin Xiong chose the shortcut to run the alley, he ignored the strange eyes of others, his eyes were persistent and firm, but his heartbeat was getting faster and faster.

Solve a problem.

A question Van der Vaart whispered in his ear while visiting the red light zone with his teammates.

He's an adult, he's got a job and an income.

He should have a woman!

Of course, if Qin Xiong wants women, he will have many.

But now, he's sure, he doesn't want to miss a woman he'll regret for the rest of his life!

Sylvia still stood still, as if all the strength of her body had been drained, and she covered her mouth to prevent her choking from turning into a cry.

Suddenly, she was hugged from behind, which startled her, but in an instant, she heard a familiar voice ringing in her ears.

The arm that hugged her from behind was so strong that it made her feel a slight pain, but she didn't resist at all.

"Sylvia, please allow me to hold you so presumptuously, please give me a little time, and listen to what I want to say to you.

My name is Qin Xiong, and I am almost useless except for being able to play football, I don't know what romance is, and I don't know how to please women.

I like you, I like you from the first time I see you, your qiฤ“, your beauty, your kindness, your gentleness, your strength, your persistence, your will, I like it all, as if you have a gravitational pull that makes it impossible for me to take my attention off you.

I want to be with you, not for the next meeting of 'maybe', but for a long time and steadily, as long as I am with you, I will be happy, I don't know what kind of thoughts you will have.

But I just have such a firm idea, I want to be with you, forever!

I don't know what it's like to be in love, but I would look forward to being in love with you and being happy as others say. โ€

After Qin Xiong finished speaking, he felt as if he had become fragile and soft, as if his body had no strength.

He, a coward, plucked up the courage to say these words from his heart, as if he was preparing for a judgment of fate.

The gradually weak arms let go of Sylvia's delicate body, but just as he let go of his arms, Sylvia suddenly turned around, Qin Xiong saw her soft face covered with tears, he couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe away the tears on her face, and his fingertips could feel the smoothness of the skin, it was a wonderful touch.

Sylvia also raised her hands, she held Qin Xiong's face, tears became more and more, and she said to Qin Xiong with a little excitement: "What you said is true?" โ€

Qin Xiong nodded seriously and kept nodding.

"I'm not the kind of girl who would give herself to a guy lightly, I believe in you! I want to love you too, always, always! Qin Xiong, I, I"

She spoke incoherently in excitement, and finally stood on tiptoe and kissed Qin Xiong's face on the lips.

Qin Xiong knew that she was different from the many girls he had seen in nightclubs, but the Dutch had received a sex-education since childhood, which made Sylvia not particularly clumsy even if she took the initiative to give her first kiss.

In addition, Qin Xiong has been to the Red Light District, so he is naturally not an absolute stupid boy.

He seemed to be resurrected on the spot, and Sylvia's words made his heart beat faster, but it was so powerful that he almost wanted to roar at the world: Lao Tzu is the king of the world!

Young men and women hug and kiss each other in the street, their faces flushed, but they are obsessed with the pleasure of the body fusion and the entanglement of lips and tongues.

When both of them couldn't breathe, they both retreated slightly at the same time, and Sylvia put her arms around his neck and leaned on his shoulder, muttering in a slightly coquettish tone, "I almost thought I would miss you forever." โ€

Qin Xiong said softly with a little self-reproach: "I'm sorry, it's my fault for letting you cry." โ€

Sylvia slowly pushed him away, raised her hand and smiled to wipe away the tears on her face, tidied up Qin Xiong's clothes, and said, "Let's go, don't miss the plane." โ€

Qin Xiong lowered his head again and took the initiative to kiss her, he was a little in love with this feeling.

He said to her: "Okay, I'm leaving, I'll call you, I'll come to you when I have time, and when you graduate, you must marry me!" โ€

Sylvia couldn't stop smiling and said, "How could you propose like this?" Okay, this time I won't think about it, I promise you! โ€

Qin Xiong looked at the time, it was indeed a little late, and while he ran in the direction of the alley, he turned back to Xivia and shouted, "It's decided!" No repentance! โ€

Sylvia covered her mouth again and almost cried, she was so happy.

When Qin Xiong's figure disappeared into the alley, Sylvia rarely jumped up on the spot like a lively girl and waved her arms

When Qin Xiong returned to Sneijder's car and kept smirking, Sneijder didn't ask a word, but the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

When Qin Xiong and Freddie arrived at the airport, the plane was already boarding.

After waving goodbye to Sneijder, Qin Xiong walked a few steps and then walked back quickly, came to Sneijder and said with a solemn expression: "I seem to owe you a meal that I didn't invite." โ€

Snead and the others laughed, he slapped Qin Xiong's shoulder, and said viciously, "Let you owe it for a lifetime." โ€

Qin Xiong said seriously: "If I have the opportunity, I will fulfill my promise." โ€

After saying that, he turned around and walked into the airport waiting hall with Freddy.

The two ran to check in, went through the security check, Freddie also fell, fortunately not injured, but Qin Xiong always smiled excitedly.

On the highway outside the airport.

Three sports cars are parked here.

Sneijder, Heitinga, and De Jong stood on the side of the road, and they looked at the time of the plane's take-off, and although it wasn't necessarily accurate, when they saw a plane take off at the right time, they looked up for a few seconds and got into their sports car.

Snead stared at a necklace hanging from the car with a ring strung into it before starting the car.

The ring has a unique shape, with the Eredivisie championship trophy and the Dutch Cup trophy printed on both sides, while the front is the shape of the Big Ear Cup, and below the Big Ear Cup, it is written: Ajax 2003-2004.

The inside of the ring is engraved with a word: Champion!

This is a championship commemorative ring that Ajax players have privately ordered after winning the championship.

The main players of the first team are all there, and of course Qin Xiong also has them.

After staring at the ring for about 15 seconds, Sneijder put on his sunglasses, started the sports car, and drove off the highway with a wild smile on his face.

In his mind, looking back at the scenes of Qin Xiong's appearance in the Ajax team this season.

From Qin Xiong's break-into the locker room to change his jersey to today, too many stories have indeed happened.

Where will the next encounter be?

Will it still be teammates?

Or, how do we feel when we become rivals?

Sneijder also showed a confused expression when he drove the car, because of his brother's smile, he was stupid!

Qin Xiong, who was sitting in the first class cabin of the plane, finally took a breath of relief, helped Freddy check the knee that he had knocked when he fell, and after making sure that it was only a minor injury, the plane also took off slowly.

Qin Xiong's bright eyes turned out the window, and he saw Sneijder, Heitinga, and De Jong driving sports cars from the highway in one direction, the three sports cars became small, and the plane rushed into the sky.

Qin Xiong closed his eyes and smiled.

They're going to the European Championships.

I'm going back to the Asian Cup.

Our journey has only just begun!

Qin Xiong was also looking forward to the next encounter in his heart.

More than nine months ago, Qin Xiong flew from the Far East to Europe, and today he is returning from Europe to distant China.

He looked at the sea of clouds outside the window, and said silently in his heart: Goodbye, Holland!

Goodbye, Free City!

In the summer of 2004, Ajax created the greatest glory since the new millennium!

When the prediction of Ajax was repeated as it was nine years ago, no one expected that after Ajax became the king of Europe in 2004, there would be no dominance in Europe for six years after that!

It seems to be a curse to save zร i on the Eredivisie club!

The more successful the team, the faster it will decline!

Because the Eredivisie is the talent training base of Europe's top league, successful teams represent the ripening of the fruits of cultivation, which will be divided by European giants, and the club will be quickly squeezed dry!

03-04 A generation of Ajax Dream Youth Army has almost all left Ajax in the next three or five years!

They have like Qin Xiong landed in the Premier League giants Arsenal, and the unexpected transfer at the same time was that Ibrahimovic and Van der Vaart had a direct conversation in a friendly match that caused Van der Vaart's injury, which led to civil unrest, Ibrahimovic was expelled by the club and sold to Juventus, which opened the prelude to the collapse of the Ajax youth army, half of the team of players landed in the giants, and half of the team players played in the middle and upper reaches of the top league, almost all of them galloped in the top league.

Although the manager Koeman did not join the big club, he also led the second-rate league team Ajax to the championship, and then led the second-rate team to the Champions League quarter-finals twice

In 1996, a Brazilian known as an alien won the World Footballer of the Year at the age of 20, thus kicking off the prelude to the golden generation of players in world football after 75 to shake up European football.

Summer 2004.

Kaka, the son of God, also from Brazil, won the title of the world's first league in Serie A.

There is an elf named Ronaldo at Camp Nou who dances across Europe.

At the Stadium of Light in Lisbon, the 19-year-old Portuguese genius known as Little Ronaldo shed painful tears in the final and finished second in the European Championship.

Ajax's youth team wins the top of Europe in the Champions League!

The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves.

In world football, the output of talents is significantly lower than that of the post-70s and post-80s players who quietly stepped onto the stage of history and began to push the giant wheel of the green world.

This is an era of masters at the curtain call, this is an era of more and more utilitarian football, world football is advancing in change, individual heroism is gradually being diluted, and the advantages of the team as a whole are becoming more and more significant.

But the light of genius can never be overshadowed!

In this era, there may no longer be a dazzling picture of a gathering of masters, but it highlights the transcendent status of geniuses standing proudly in the clouds and overlooking all beings!
