Sylvia also brought Georgia to Germany, but she would not meet with Qin Xiong, nor would she disturb Qin Xiong's preparation for the World Cup by phone.
Before Qin Xiong's warm-up match against the United States team, which was also the last warm-up match before the World Cup for the Chinese team, Qin Xiong handed over his mobile phone to Sylvia and temporarily asked her to act as Qin Xiong's personal secretary.
Because his phone has been blown up.
Freddie not only informed the Arsenal club, but also spoke in front of the media.
He didn't criticize the Arsenal club, but just made a statement: Qin Xiong will not choose to renew his contract with the Arsenal club, he wants to leave Arsenal!
It's as simple as that, there is no scolding battle of tearing faces and blaming each other, because Freddie understands Qin Xiong.
Even if the decision to leave is made, I hope it will be an amicable breakup.
Since everyone couldn't talk about it, it was also unpleasant, and in the past year, the board of directors was also dissatisfied with Qin Xiong and accumulated some resentment.
Then let's just get together, let's get together.
After Freddie announced that Qin Xiong would not renew his contract with Arsenal, Freddie was very busy.
Sponsors surround him every day, some of them want to spy on the military situation and find out where Qin Xiong's next transfer is going, after all, there are many sponsors who plan to renew their sponsorship contracts with Qin Xiong this year.
Qin Xiong's commercial impact with playing for a Premier League team is inevitably different from his playing for a French team, a German team, an Italian team, and a La Liga team.
Sponsors should also adjust their strategies according to Qin Xiong's personal career development.
And some sponsors want to participate in Qin Xiong's transfer operation, because the big sponsors are not hanging from Qin Xiong's tree, and they are not just sponsoring players. They have partnerships with a lot of clubs. The radiation area is relatively wide. Connections are even more accessible.
For example, if Qin Xiong can be operated to San Siro, those sponsors who have a long-term investment in AC Milan must be happy to see it.
Freddie was so busy all of a sudden that he didn't even pay attention to the World Cup, because he actually didn't have much hope for the Chinese team, and the outside world had almost no expectations for the Chinese team, Qin Xiong's personal value would not be too negatively affected, if there was a huge fluctuation, it would definitely be him who led the Chinese team to become a dark horse!
But that hope is really slim.
Qin Xiong's personal side is constantly receiving calls from Wenger. and some of Arsenal's team-mates, plus a phone call from a coach with whom he has a good relationship.
He didn't answer it once, but the phone couldn't be turned on, and he wasn't used to bringing two mobile phones, so he handed over the phone to Sylvia and asked her to help block it, and if there was anything else, he would notify Qin Xiong through Sylvia, and Qin Xiong would deal with it separately.
Arsene Wenger ended his leave early and rushed back to London to deal with the emergency. He first tried to contact Qin Xiong, but was never able to communicate directly with Qin Xiong. He then lashed out at the board of directors, believing that the board's hesitation and stinginess in the renewal of Qin Xiong's contract were also contrary to his initial firm belief in keeping Qin Xiong.
Renewing Qin Xiong's contract is by no means a trivial matter.
According to Qin Xiong's requirements, the team will spend more than 5 million pounds on him in a year, and if it is four years, it will be more than 20 million pounds, in other words, more than 200 million yuan in business!
Before going on holiday, Wenger received assurances from the board that he would take care of Qin Xiong's contract renewal.
In fact, the board of directors was ready to renew Qin Xiong's contract, but before that, Henry was the first to renew the contract, and Henry was given a huge loyalty bonus.
The problem was that Freddie renegotiated the conditions and demanded treatment beyond Henry's.
In other words, Arsenal has just raised Henry's salary to 130,000 pounds, which has increased the difficulty of renewing Qin Xiong's contract, and the difference has suddenly widened the gap from the previous weakness.
This made the board hesitate again.
Of course, if it weren't for Freddie to negotiate, but for little Dane to continue to negotiate for Qin Xiongcao, maybe things would have a happy ending.
Because little Dane himself has a father-son relationship with Dane, will there be any private interests in this?
Of course!
Coupled with Dane Jr.'s knowledge of the Arsenal board of directors and Arsenal's operating system, he can fully grasp Arsenal's seven inches in negotiations, and he will have an absolute upper hand in negotiations with Arsenal.
Can't Freddie do it?
He can do it, but it can only be said that it is not as sure as little Dane.
After all, there are some methods that Qin Xiong is not happy to see, such as threatening to leave with a transfer.
Arsene Wenger had only said before that he was confident that he would keep Qin Xiong, but now that the peak has turned, Qin Xiong's agent has issued a statement that he will not renew his contract with Arsenal, and his attitude is very resolute.
Wenger was besieged and dumped by the reporters on Fleet Street, and it was clear that Wenger's words had slapped him in the face!
Perhaps because of his understanding of Qin Xiong, Wenger did not kill Germany, he knew that Qin Xiong's character was very decisive, just like his firm will in training and his resolute style on the field, when Qin Xiong decided something, he was powerless to change it.
Just like when faced with other better options, Qin Xiong chose Arsenal.
Faced with the reporters' questions, Wenger sighed helplessly: "I really don't know what he wants for that money"
This led Fleet Street to compare Anelka with the back then, as Arsene Wenger had made similar remarks when Anelka left.
Money?
Perhaps.
Qin Xiong doesn't pay attention to the outside news and is wholeheartedly preparing for the World Cup, but Freddy can't be silent.
After Wenger said this, Freddie responded with a little emotion in the face of the reporter's interview: "Look! This is the attitude of Arsenal, they don't care about Qin Xiong's contribution to the team, but only talk about money! What do you want so much money for? This is really ridiculous, they will give Henry a raise, they will directly send 5 million pounds, but they are asking Qin Xiong what he wants money for? Qin Xiong and Thierry Henry are very good friends, and I won't comment on which of the two of them is more important to Arsenal, but I have to say that Qin Xiong doesn't owe Arsenal anything, including money! In the past two years, including transfer fees and wages, Arsenal has invested no more than 15 million euros in Qin Xiong, but even Qin Xiong, who has only one year left on his contract, has now offered 25 million euros for him! Qin Xiong will leave Arsenal, and he will leave Highbury with a Champions League trophy, two league trophies, and an FA Cup trophy! If Arsenal can say in good conscience that without Qin Xiong, they can still get these honors, hum, it will be the biggest joke of the century! ”
Freddy's remarks can be said to have directly shattered the relationship between Qin Xiong and Arsenal, and there have been media speculations that Freddy's declaration is to put pressure on the Arsenal club.
But after Wenger showed helplessness in an interview, Freddy's positive response has made the outside world realize a reality: Qin Xiong will definitely leave Arsenal! (To be continued......)
