The fifth update.￡∝

－－－－－－－

After the day's training, Qin Xiong returned to Wardle Street. He was already swept through his body by fatigue, but his spirit was refreshed after seeing a dreamlike figure.

He stood outside the restaurant in Dekoise, watching the enthusiastic girl busy.

Sivia Slott.

It seems that she has been hired by Dekoise.

Wearing the restaurant's work clothes, she showed an angel-like smile to every customer, as if she could bring meticulous care to everyone.

This makes Decoise's restaurant business significantly better.

Freddy sat in front of the open-air table and chair, and he was also observing Xiweiya. He used to know that there was such a girl, and he also learned about her appearance through Qin Xiong's sketch. Today, what he saw with his own eyes made him feel relieved and particularly happy.

He was worried that Qin Xiong would not fall in love with a good girl. After all, this is Amsterdam, the world-famous city of freedom, and also, Sex.

He looked at Xiweiya like an elder, enthusiastic, generous, friendly and beautiful.

What a great girl!

It's really a match with Qin Xiong!

Freddy thought so, and his shoulder was suddenly pressed down. He turned his head and saw that it was Qin Xiong who returned from training. He immediately used his eyes to indicate the direction where Xi Weiya was, with teasing in his eyes.

Qin Xiong put down his shoulder bag and walked over to greet Xi Weiya.

"Hi, are you still used to here?"

Xi Weiya turned her head and saw that it was Qin Xiong, and hurriedly thanked her.

"It's very good, thank you for recommending me here."

Qin Xiong nodded, not knowing what to say, worried about disturbing Xiweiya's work, so he walked back to Freddy and sat down, preparing for dinner.

He ate this dinner very slowly, and he didn't dare to stare at Xi Weiya openly. He occasionally glanced at him secretly, and was worried about being discovered by the other party, and he was like a thief.

Freddy turned his face and smiled from time to time.

Although there are many boys in Europe and the United States who are shy and introverted, they are rare after all, but Freddy has lived in China for a long time and is used to Qin Xiong's "first love" behavior.

After the peak meal period in the evening, Xiweiya's work ended. She was not full-time. When she was about to leave, Qin Xiong was pushed by Freddy. Qin Xiong immediately understood it and took the initiative to walk to Xiweiya and suggested: "I'll give you a gift."

Xiweiya smiled at him and shook her head, saying, "I have lived in this city since I was a child. You have only been here for two months. Do you send me? I'm afraid that I'll send you back later. I heard that you are here, right?"

Qin Xiong pointed to the small apartment opposite the restaurant and said, "It's there, the people here are very kind, I like it."

"Well, yes, I like this here too, Qin Xiong, good night."

"Be careful on the way, good night."

Qin Xiong stood there for a long time and stared at her leaving back. He couldn't see it. Xi Weiya's lips were curved when she left, and she kept a sweet smile, as if she was happier than usual.

......

Before going to the third round of the Dutch Cup, Koeman took the initiative to talk to Qin Xiong during the training break.

"In the Dutch Cup, most of the team's main players will take turns to rest, but I plan to let you continue to start the game, with the purpose of keeping you in shape. Tomorrow's game is not demanding high on you. Let's put it this way, my requirements for you are, first, don't care about the outcome of the game, second, don't seriously consume physical fitness, third, create more opportunities for teammates drawn by the reserve team."

Qin Xiong was hugged by Koman on his shoulders, and he roughly understood.

Thanks to Ajax's arrogant philosophy indoctrination.

In fact, it is: go up and kick and keep your condition. It doesn’t matter if you win or lose. It’s mainly about cup competitions and training. Don’t be too nervous, and don’t pay too much attention.

Qin Xiong will make a debut, but Koeman obviously doesn't expect the Dutch Cup to train Qin Xiong. What is really the players in the reserve team need to be honed.

Somehow, Koeman hugged Qin Xiong's shoulder and started walking along the training ground. After finishing his mission for tomorrow's competition, he turned to a long-term discussion.

"Qin Xiong, you have been in the first team for more than a month and performed very well, beyond our expectations. In the game of PV Eindhoven, I realized that you can be highly expected. At the same time, the technical characteristics you showed have made us start to re-examine the team's tactical system. Van der Fate is not you, and you are not van der Fate, Pinal, Sneed. Every player is special and unique. Because of this, we should be cautious in how to integrate, adapt and inspire a brand new tactical system. Alas, what is not good for us is that the time is not good."

Qin Xiong didn't understand and asked, "Time?"

He saw that Koeman subconsciously frowned, looked into the distance, his eyes were vague, and said lightly: "In a week, we will face AC Milan, and change something rashly. In an unprecedented game, the probability of failure will be very high. If there is a loss in the next European game, we may declare that the group stage will be eliminated."

Qin Xiong understood.

What Koeman is concerned about is that a war is about to change his moves at the moment. For the weak team, he always needs to take greater risks. Just like marching and fighting, changing generals at the moment is a taboo in military strategists.

......

Qin Xiong searched through the rosters of the teams in the Dutch Eredivisie and the Dutch Second Division, but he did not find the name of Ajax's opponent in the third round of the Dutch Cup.

urk.

When taking a bus to the town of Urk, Lindgren told him that Urk is a Dutch amateur team and does not participate in the professional league.

Qin Xiong suddenly realized that no wonder Ajax would perform a big rotation in this round. Perhaps the training value of first-team substitute players was not very valuable, so he drew the players from the reserve team. If the youth team had not also participated in the Dutch Cup and the participating teams were systematically affiliated with Ajax, maybe Ajax would have simply let the first team rest.

Urk's mayor was in a complicated mood when he was interviewed before the game.

"The 4,000 tickets were sold out, and we can't limit the rush from Ajax fans. Yes, our team may not have a home advantage, and that's the current situation of our survival."

As the only local team in Urk, Urk is already a big breakthrough. Because they are non-professional teams, there is no home protection in ticket sales. For example, clubs in Eredivisie and Dutch B and home ticket sales require buyers to show their membership cards. Urk is an amateur team. Without this layer of protection, it is naturally impossible to stop the visiting team fans from sweeping and buying tickets frantically. Of course, from an economic perspective, Urk's mayor should still be excited. If other opponents are replaced, there will be no such enthusiasm as Ajax fans.

In Europe, measuring fans' loyalty is usually the frequency of away games as a standard. Local fans wave flags and shout at the team at home, which is very convenient, but going to the away game is valuable and highlighting loyalty.

This is true for Ajax fans. The stadium in Urk is only 4,000 tickets, and it is estimated that more than 3,000 have been bought by Ajax fans. Just think of it as a trip to the town for a while. The Netherlands itself is not big and the transportation is convenient.

The midweek cup race is held at night.

Just after seven o'clock, Qin Xiong had already put on his jersey and stood in the player channel with his teammates waiting for the game to begin.

The amateur team's court is very simple and may not belong to them, but rented to them by the town government.

Koman told Qin Xiong not to waste his physical energy or fight. In addition to avoiding excessive energy consumption, he also had the idea of ​​protecting him.

The venue conditions are poor!

What if you sprain your foot in a small pit while running, will you lose money?

Before the game, Koeman faced Qin Xiong repeatedly in front of everyone, and almost said explicitly: Just take a walk on the court!

It also makes the teammates understand in their hearts, so as not to think that Qin Xiong is not working hard on the court.

Ajax, who was fighting today, is a temporary miscellaneous army.

The main players of the first team, the substitute, and several reserve players.

When the referee team led the players of both sides into the stadium, Qin Xiong was confused by the atmosphere on the scene.

Whose home court is this?

In the stands, most of the fans who shouted and cheered were wearing Ajax's jerseys!

He even saw the three old men of Rutmanson and Freddy standing on the edge of the stand on the left hand side of the player's passage, smiling at him with beer in his hands very easily.
Chapter completed!
