At the end of the season, Freddie and Dane's first negotiations on Qin Xiong's contract extension ended with mutual testing and a friendly farewell.

Dane promised to reconsider the issue of Qin Xiong's salary increase, and Freddie also promised to seriously consider the contract offered by Arsenal.

It's just that when he drove away from Arsenal, Freddie's mood was quite heavy.

Qin Xiong's contract renewal is by no means a special case within Arsenal.

The locker room wage system is like a pyramid.

It is not possible to remove the lowest building and place it on the top floor without affecting the other buildings.

He believes that Dane will not perfunctory him, after all, Qin Xiong has a tacit understanding of the importance of the team, but the concessions and sincerity shown by Arsenal to the best of their ability may still be far from Freddy's psychological bottom line.

He did not persuade Qin Xiong to transfer and leave, after all, every time he transferred, the decisive factor that Qin Xiong considered was the competitive environment, and economic income was a secondary factor.

Dane is lost in thought in his office after seeing Freddie off.

Arsenal is not a club that spends a lot of money and does not change its face.

Just like the acquisition of Qin Xiong for 10 million euros last summer was the club's largest acquisition, plus the three-year contract, the annual expenditure of almost 1.5 million euros, the total expenditure of their investment in Qin Xiong in the three years is about 15 million euros.

In Dane's plan, an appropriate salary increase according to Qin Xiong's table was inevitable.

It's just that the reality is a bit beyond expectations.

originally planned to give Qin Xiong a contract with a weekly salary of 30,000 pounds this summer, which means a salary increase of more than 50% for Qin Xiong!

This is already great sincerity.

And two years later, according to Qin Xiong's table xiàn and contributions. It rises to around £50,000 again. In the same period, the salary was increased by more than 50%. This allows the player to play for the club with all his heart.

But the reality is wrong: Qin Xiong's table last season was too good!

The contract with a weekly salary of 30,000 yuan Dane also knew that if he couldn't take it, it would be simply insincere, and he might be regarded as a humiliation by Qin Xiong and his agent.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was paid 40,000 pounds a week, and it was tacitly that if he sat down and talked, Arsenal would definitely raise his salary again, but how much. It depends on the quality of Arsenal.

Dane rubbed his temples in annoyance.

There are a lot of jobs in front of him in the summer, and maybe Qin Xiong's contract renewal will really be delayed.

Because he wants to see how the team's contract renewal work is going on with players approaching other contract periods, the income and expenditure situation in the transfer market, and the income and expenditure situation in other aspects to re-examine the budget, it can be said that for the renewal of a core player, Arsenal has to squeeze out the budget from all sides.

Give Qin Xiong an extra 20,000 pounds a week, which is almost 1 million pounds a year.

For a football club, £1 million doesn't sound like much, but it can be done in a club management system that is itself limited to its financial balance and has a steady operating income. Where does this £1 million a year come from?

Besides, listening to Freddie now, he wants to renew the contract for Qin Xiong. At least more than 60,000 pounds, compared to last season, the expenditure on Qin Xiong will be more than 2 million pounds per year.

This summer, which is destined to give Dane a headache and an imminent contract renewal that needs to be considered, it is really not Qin Xiong's turn, but the team's captain Vieira!

Arsenal staged a grand parade of champions in London, and Qin Xiong appeared on the bus in casual clothes, chatting with his team-mates in sunglasses and occasionally waving to the welcoming fans.

After all the championship celebrations were over, Qin Xiong and Cesc Fabregas had one last casual chat before the holiday in a café in the city.

Fabregas found a reason to invite Qin Xiong and asked him something about the situation in the Netherlands, this is really the right person, although there are Dutchmen like Van Persie and Bergkamp in the team, but after all, the more authentic the locals, the less strong the feelings may not be as strong as outsiders.

Just like Qin Xiong asked Sneijder what was interesting in the Netherlands when he was living in the Netherlands, Sneijder probably couldn't say much, because he probably felt that those scenic spots in the eyes of outsiders were not worth recommending to friends.

Qin Xiong and the Sylvia siblings have traveled all over the Netherlands, where it is fun and where it is a little bland, he can say it as many treasures.

After finishing speaking with great interest, Qin Xiong asked curiously, "Huh?" Are you going to the Netherlands for your summer vacation? ”

Cesc Fabregas shrugged and said: "I'm going to the Netherlands to participate in the World Junior Championships, starting in early June and ending in early July, calculate the time, even if you can reach the final, there is not much left of the summer vacation, just go around the Netherlands, if you go out early, then you will have more time to play." ”

Qin Xiong suddenly realized, and suddenly remembered that it seems that the Chinese team will also participate in this World Youth Championships, as the captain of the national team, his age can participate in the World Youth Championships, but considering that he is already the captain of the official national team, and in Europe for a season, the Chinese Football Association can no longer force Qin Xiong to play the World Youth Championships, and the schedule is also conflicting, in early June, the Chinese team will also play the World Preliminary Tournament.

"Oh well, good luck! Well, if you encounter the Chinese team, I hope that the Spain you represent is all abnormal! ”

Qin Xiong laughed after he finished speaking, just a joke.

Fabregas suddenly became a little distracted, muttering, "I don't know if I will touch him"

"Huh? Who did you run into? ”

"Oh, it's okay, you don't know each other."

Qin Xiong waved goodbye to Cesc Fabregas without taking it seriously, and he would leave for China.

Fabregas walked down the street after leaving the café, wondering if he would meet his friends at La Masia on stage at the World Junior Championships.

That friend will play for Argentina, and his name is Leonel Messi!

When Qin Xiong and Freddy boarded the passenger plane to Beijing, China, the Chinese national team also began to assemble in China!

In June, there will be three World Preliminary Asian quarterfinals, which are likely to determine whether the Chinese team can advance to the 2006 World Cup in Germany!

At the same time, a group of Chinese U20 national youth teams with high hopes gathered to participate in the 2005 World Youth Championships in the Netherlands in early June!

Among this group of national youth players, there are Hao Haidong's hand-picked successor Dong Fangzhuo, and there are young seedlings Feng Xiaoting, Zhao Xuri, Zhou Haibin, who were promoted by Alihan in the East Asian semifinals the year before last, as well as midfield stars Chen Tao and Hao Junmin, who wore No. 10 shirts, and Gao Lin, who was rated as "China's Ibu" by the industry, and so on.

In the summer of 2005 in June, the Chinese team attacked on two fronts, the World Preliminary Tournament and the World Youth Championship attracted much attention, and the Chinese Football Association was also waiting to see the final results of the Chinese team in these two events.
