505 Digging the foot of the wall
Just stepped into 2006, in the early morning of January 9, Freddie woke up in a hotel, he only wore ** and walked to the window, opened the curtains at the same time the dazzling sunlight into the room, made him close his eyes slightly and look away, surprised that London has a particularly beautiful weather today.
The middle-aged man still maintains a very good figure, he used to train with Qin Xiong, but now he deliberately pays attention to maintaining his physical health.
On the queen bed in the hotel suite lies a beautiful, who is the object of his latest relationship.
As Freddie was doing some body stretching in front of the window, his phone rang.
He picked it up and looked at it, and the corners of his mouth surrounded by light stubble rose slightly.
"Hey, hello."
"Kyle, I want Qin Xiong."
'Perez, it's mid-season, it's very, very difficult.
"I persuaded Arsenal, you persuaded Qin Xiong, why bother to maintain a stalemate with Arsenal now?"
"I'll try."
"Okay, please let me know if you have any news."
Freddie hung up the phone and closed his eyes with a smile.
He was just on the phone with the president of Real Madrid, Florentino.
They have often talked on the phone in the past year, and whenever Real Madrid's poor results are questioned by the outside world, Florentino will call Freddy to ask about Qin Xiong's transfer possibilities.
Freddie has no doubts about Real Madrid's sincerity, and last summer's £30 million offer was for real!
It's even more real than the last few years with Vieira!
It's just that the transfer is not an olive branch thrown by Real Madrid, and Qin Xiong will definitely take the initiative with a smile.
Players, teams. Emotion. All aspects are in it and must be taken into account.
This time Florentino called. Before Freddie answered the phone, he knew it was the other party calling.
Real Madrid are in league action against Barcelona this season and all is good ahead of November.
Real Madrid once led Barcelona by six points, but that beauty went to the other extreme at the end of 2005.
Real Madrid came to the end of 2005 with Barcelona 10 points behind in the league!
Barcelona led by Mr. Ronaldinho in November and December, reversed Real Madrid by 16 points in two months!
Including the Spanish derby in late November, which left Florentino 3-0 humiliated. The Bernabeu fans stood up and applauded Ronaldinho, like countless slaps in the face of Florentino!
The bad situation continued, with La Liga taking a 10-day break from the winter break, and on January 8, yesterday's league game, Barcelona won the league game, but Real Madrid were held to a draw at Villarreal's home stadium at the Stadio de la Sol de la Sing de l'Echo, which led to a staggering 12 points ahead of Real Madrid!
You know, the half-way league of La Liga has not yet been played, and only 18 rounds have been played!
That's why. Real Madrid will be hoping to bring in reinforcements in the winter to complete the comeback in the second half of the season, or. Don't lose to Barcelona in the league and lose too ugly!
Moreover, Florentino wants to bring in Qin Xiong this winter, in addition to improving competitiveness in the league, it will also reduce the pressure on Real Madrid in the Champions League.
In the Champions League 1/8 finals, who is Real Madrid's opponent?
Isn't that exactly Arsenal?
If Qin Xiong can be transferred to Real Madrid in winter, even if Qin Xiong will lose the qualification for the Champions League in the second half of the season, without Qin Xiong's Arsenal, the probability of Real Madrid defeating the opponent will definitely increase significantly!
(A player cannot play for different teams in a single season.) )
However, this is also where the difficulty of introducing Qin Xiong in winter lies.
Florentino's success could save his now near-embattled crisis of confidence at the Bernabeu.
But the Arsenal board is no fool.
After cleaning up and showering at the hotel, Freddie and his girlfriend left the hotel hand in hand, and just got in the car to go to dinner, his phone rang again.
He was not in a hurry to talk to Qin Xiong about the invitation from Real Madrid.
After all, this was not special, nor was it particularly sudden, plus Qin Xiong had been resting recently, so he didn't want to disturb him inappropriately.
But the second call did come as a surprise to him.
It was Chelsea owner Abou who called.
During Qin Xiong's time at Ajax, Chelsea wanted to recruit Qin Xiong.
This was Freddy's second phone call with Abu, and the content of the call was very brief, and Freddie politely declined Abu's invitation to Qin Xiong, because neither Qin Xiong nor Freddie himself could approve of Qin Xiong joining Chelsea in the current environment and timing.
This would almost be saddled with the reproach of a traitor and Judas!
However, Freddy agreed to Abu's request: don't rush to refuse, meet with the CEO of Chelsea first, and listen carefully to the conditions offered by Chelsea.
Freddie had no choice but to comfort his girlfriend and ask her to take a taxi away first, and drive to meet with Chelsea CEO Kenyon himself
The Devils' schedule of four games is indeed a huge drain on Qin Xiong, and due to the start of the FA Cup, the Premier League will not play its 22nd round until mid-January.
Qin Xiong almost had a little more than a week's rest, which was enough to alleviate the recent physical exertion.
When the weekend came, the FA Cup kicked off, and Qin Xiong, Sylvia, and Freddy sat in the VIP seat of Highbury to watch the FA Cup game.
Arsenal really came lightly, as the defending FA Cup champions, there was no title at all, and Arsene Wenger did not even put a main squad on the bench.
Everyone knows that Arsenal has chosen to give up the FA Cup strategically in order to meet the brutal competition in the league in the second half of the season and the challenge of the Champions League knockout round!
Sitting in the VIP seat, Qin Xiong's hand was on Sylvia's lap, and Sylvia held his hand and subconsciously gently stroked his palm.
When the game started, Freddie took advantage of the relatively calm situation to turn his head and whisper something in Qin Xiong's ear.
After hearing this, Qin Xiong shook his head frequently.
While it's not just Chelsea and Real Madrid who want to get Qin Xiong in the winter, there aren't many clubs that really have a chance to get the Arsenal board to release him.
Not to mention that Real Madrid and Chelsea only have very low probabilities, and those first-tier clubs have no chance at all.
After all, this is not only the club's consideration, Qin Xiong also has to consider himself.
If you transfer during the winter break, you will definitely not be able to participate in the Champions League in the second half of the season.
And this year is a World Cup year, so it's better to be in shape and play time before the World Cup, and of course it's better to be in a familiar team.
Join Chelsea and Real Madrid, no matter which club you go to join in the winter, you will be a traitor!
Joining Chelsea has all but ruined Arsenal's path to defending the league title.
Joining Real Madrid will also make it more difficult for Arsenal to face Real Madrid on the road to the Champions League.
So Qin Xiong didn't even listen to Freddy's relays of the conditions of the two clubs, so he shook his head and refused. (To be continued......)
