Group H of the Champions League is a reversal drama that fans will talk about.

AC Milan, which only got 1 point in the first two rounds, qualified ahead of schedule after 3 consecutive wins!

And Brugge, who led the standings from the first round of the group stage and scored 8 points in four games, actually lost one goal in the fifth round and had to fight Ajax in the last game to the death!

Ajax, who lost three of their first four games, escaped death and regained the initiative of their destiny!

Celta lost hope of qualifying, was eliminated early, and did not even qualify for the Europa League, and was already doomed to the bottom of the group before the final round was played.

The reversal of Celta became a milestone event for Qin Xiong to become famous in European football.

The report card of two shots and one pass, and the last-minute stunner, let the European football world witness an amazing young player on the highest stage in Europe!

Combined with the strong performance of Ajax in the last two rounds of the league, and the Champions League won again to regain the initiative, Ajax's technical and tactical transformation has achieved initial results, and Koeman has contributed to it and made him famous.

It's just that the media's stance on the coaches or players of football clubs is always not unwavering, and today's boasting is so that they can step harder tomorrow when they fall into the well!

The higher you are held, the worse it will be when you fall!

In this way, there is no shortage of news in the football circle, there is no shortage of hot topics, and there is no lack of attention from the outside world.

When the team returned to Amsterdam, it was already early in the morning of the next day, Qin Xiong slept in the apartment for eight hours, and after getting up close to noon, he did some light exercises, went downstairs to prepare for lunch, and unexpectedly saw De Coize, Rutmanson, Freddy, and Pister in the small restaurant set up a table of sumptuous food.

De Coize trotted out of the restaurant, stepped forward and hugged Qin Xiong, and said with a smile: "Qin Xiong, you are really amazing in last night's game!" Come, come, we have prepared a celebration feast for you! ”

The regular customers who came to eat at the restaurant around also knew Qin Xiong, and knew that there was an Ajax player living nearby, so they all nodded to Qin Xiong with a smile, and some young people would take the initiative to ask Qin Xiong to take a photo and sign an autograph.

If the Dutch national derby makes Qin Xiong famous, then the shine in the Champions League will make him famous in the Netherlands.

It's hard to resist hospitality.

Qin Xiong walked into the restaurant and felt a little strange.

Celebration feast?

What to celebrate with four older men?

Still, the atmosphere of the meal was very warm.

After lunch, before Qin Xiong left for the club, Freddie stopped him, and the two were talking in front of the open-air tables and chairs outside the restaurant.

"An Ajax representative called me this morning to renew my contract with you."

Qin Xiong didn't make a fuss when he heard this, in fact, Van Gaal had mentioned this topic once or twice, intentionally or unintentionally, but Van Gaal was not in charge of specific affairs.

Qin Xiong fell into deep thought, and Freddy said with a solemn expression: "The specific conditions are this, the contract period is extended for three years, your salary rises to a weekly salary of 12,000 euros, an additional appearance fee of 2,000 euros, a bonus of 1,000 euros for goals, 800 euros for assists, and a bonus of 15% for the basic weekly salary every year." In addition, now renew the contract, Ajax is willing to give you another 200,000 euros for the signing fee, to be paid immediately. ”

Qin Xiong's performance in the past three months proves that Ajax's signing of him was a wise decision, but unfortunately, the contract signed by Ajax with Qin Xiong three months ago does not have a strong guarantee.

This is understandable, as Ajax are likely to sign more than two dozen young players a year, although most of them are in the Under-18s or below.

When signing these players in the early stage, they should not be paid too highly, otherwise, over time, the success rate of professional football is not high, which is easy to cause an increase in operating costs.

And players who have a good table and can get ahead will immediately renew their contracts, which is also a regular practice, and Ajax's reaction has been considered fast, especially considering that Qin Xiong only entered the first team two months ago.

Entering December, according to Qin Xiong's contract period, in another 13 months, he can negotiate a new contract with other teams in an open manner, and leave Ajax on a free transfer after 19 months.

This is certainly something that Ajax does not want to see.

So in order to retain the players, of course, the contract is renewed with a salary increase, excluding competitive factors, the club's sincerity in retaining players is reflected in one word: money!

After all, playing football is a job for a professional footballer to support a family.

Qin Xiong looked at Freddy and asked, "What is your response?" ”

"I didn't make any commitments, I just said I would think about it, but my personal advice is that now is not the best time to decide whether to renew your contract," Freddie said. First, the Netherlands is not the pursuit of your long-term goals, and second, if it comes to next summer, and you can finally maintain the momentum of the last two months this season, then you will have more options, even if there is no better club than Ajax to throw you an olive branch, but Ajax's renewal conditions will definitely be more generous than now, because next summer, your contract period, only one year left, Ajax will bear the greater risk of losing you without reward. ”

Qin Xiong nodded.

In front of him, it will be a contract that is 100 times richer than his current salary, but this is only a short-term benefit, his career has just started, although money is very important, but how to maximize the benefits, it is still necessary to carefully consider, can not be a hot brain to see money and rush to sign a contract with the club, maybe it seems to be a lot of money, but in the long run, maybe it is a lot of losses.

This is also the experience he learned from De Jong Sneijder and other players, their contracts are long, when they signed the contract, they felt that the remuneration was very good, but the whole football environment is changing, especially in the context of the economic crisis, the football industry is a trend of non-decline, operating costs are increasing year by year, player salaries have also risen all the way, after two or three years, Sneijder and they look at the contract remuneration, really feel that it is a very bad move to sign a long-term contract with the team hastily.

"Ajax is actually very good, if it weren't for the competitiveness of the league, I would probably want to stay here for a long time, but like some of my team-mates and a lot of Dutch players who have career trajectories to look at, no matter when that day comes, I have the idea of leaving here. I know that renewing my contract is a big thing that both parties must show sincerity, and the club will give me a high salary, so I have to pay the price of freedom, which is reasonable, but since I am not willing to be limited by a long contract now, I have no confidence to ask the club to give me a salary increase. Kyle, my bottom line is that there is no extension of the contract, it has nothing to do with the salary, and I want to see if I can have a chance to play at a higher level in the next year and a half and take on a new challenge. ”

Kyle Freddie nodded sternly.

Qin Xiong coincided with his thoughts.

Although Qin Xiongcai is only gaining a foothold in Ajax now, he should take a long-term view, this is a risky decision, if his form declines, then it means that his value will also decline, maybe no better club will be willing to take him in the future, and Ajax will not give him a better contract treatment than now.

But this is life, and at every fork in the road, you have to make your own choices and take your own risks.

After formalizing the bottom line of negotiations with Freddy on Ajax's offer of a contract extension, Qin Xiong went to the club for training.

Today will be a lighter intensity of restorative training, and the teammates will talk and laugh during the training.

As for the story that happened in the game, it's not that everyone has forgotten about it, but there is no need to mention it afterwards.

With Ibrahimovic and Van der Vaart's ball quotient, it's not a difficult problem to figure out.

It's nothing more than that your ability is not enough to put yourself in a position above your teammates, and you can't afford to carry the team to move forward hard, then, don't be selfish, it won't do you any good, because your teammates are not unknown, and the team chemistry and energy they produce are definitely stronger than you personally!
