Chapter 135 Rumors
The penultimate round of the Chinese Super League is November 23. Luneng's opponent is Wuhan, which has withdrawn from the competition, so they do not have to participate in the competition and automatically get three points.
Their championship-winning opponent Shanghai Shenhua will face their old rival Dalian team away!
Shanghai Shenhua team once became the runner-up many times in the A-A era, and almost all the champions at that time were won by Dalian team.
As time goes by, Shenhua still sits on the second place in the standings.
Dalian, on the other hand, has to fight for relegation. In this game, Dalian is determined to get one point. As long as they can get one point, they can successfully relegate in advance.
And Shenhua must get three points all.
The draw doesn't mean much to them. If they score three points, they can hope that Luneng will draw or lose in the last round.
If they get one point, they can only hope that Luneng will lose at home.
There is still a possibility that Luneng has a draw at home, but it is almost impossible for Luneng to lose to Guangzhou Pharmaceutical, which has long been undesirable in the last round.
Golden State Stadium, here witnessed the rise and fall of two teams.
Shenhua has a considerable number of "Blue Devils" expeditionary forces who came to Dalian to cheer for the team.
They hung up the banner of "Shenhua Champion" to express their good wishes for the team to win the championship.
Dalian home fans also hung banners that said "Shenhua is just the second-year-old" to ridicule their old rival.
At the same time, banners such as "Dropping a thousand pounds and going into the battle with lightweight equipment! Retreating thousands of miles is only to seek relegation!" were also hung up at the home court of Dalian.
This is also an inexplicable sadness for the former Eight Crown champion.
After training, the entire Luneng team also watched the live broadcast of the game in the multimedia room of the base.
Because if Shenhua loses to Dalian, then Luneng can announce that it will win the championship in advance.
So of course they should pay close attention to their opponents' performance. Of course, they look forward to winning the championship in advance and letting go of their hearts sooner.
In fact, the Dalian team's lineup is not bad. Feng Xiaoting, Zhang Yaokun, Li Xuepeng, Zhao Mingjian, Zhang Yalin, Zhao Xuri, Zhu Ting, Li Kai, and Dong Fangzhuo who returned from Manchester United in the summer, including foreign players James and Kilikov, are all well-known players in the Chinese Super League.
But they ended up in the relegation zone this year and it was indeed unexpected for many people.
It is still a pity if such a team is really relegated.
Of course, Shenhua doesn't care whether they can succeed in relegation. What Shenhua wants is three-pointers and chips to continue to compete with Luneng for the championship.
Xu Qi sat in the last row of the multimedia room, and he also watched the game seriously.
Of course, he also hopes that Shenhua can lose the game. If Shenhua loses to Dalian, then he can go to shoot and score goals in the last round.
If the team did not win the championship ahead of schedule, then he would still be under some pressure when shooting in the last round.
In fact, during the game, the two teams did not show the top level of the Chinese Super League.
Shanghai Shenhua wants to win, while Dalian Haichang just wants to tie the game and complete the relegation.
Although the gunpowder smell of the two teams is very strong, the content of the game is intermittent.
It can be said that this is a very boring and boring game, but it is always filled with a nervous mindset.
The end of the game, Dalian began to delay time. Even when the ball was out of bounds, the caddies in Dalian did not pick up the ball, so they could only let Shenhua players pick up the ball against the miscellaneous items thrown by the fans.
In the end, the Shenhua team and the Dalian team completed a zero-to-zero game.
Dalian team successfully relegated ahead of schedule, while Shenhua team gradually drifted away from the championship.
Xu Qi stood up and stretched, walked out of the media room, and he had to go to the court to practice for a while.
The result of the draw does not ensure that Luneng wins the championship ahead of schedule, but at least it is a good situation to win the championship in the final round.
Just as the entire Luneng team was preparing for the final round of championships, a piece of news spread like wildfire, perhaps a rumor or something that may be revealed, the news said that Xu Qi is likely to leave Shandong Luneng after the end of this season.
His next stop is of course Europe. This message is very evident and pointed out directly about Xu Qi's next home - Eindhoven in the Eredivisie.
Media reports said they photographed a senior executive of the club in Eindhoven in Jinan.
Faced with such news, Xu Qi strongly denied it. Of course, he was unwilling to affect the team's preparations at such a critical moment because such news affected the team's preparations.
Regarding going to Europe, Xu Qi originally decided to consider it after the league ends. After all, he has plenty of time to deal with these things after the league ends.
And he will directly point out to the club at that time, so there is no need to hide it.
He doesn't have to deal with these things before the league is over.
He specially called Liang Ru and asked what happened to Eindhoven. Liang Ru's answer was very clear. She said that she had never had contact with Eindhoven. Although she had indeed had contact with the Eredivisie team, it was not Eindhoven.
As for the officials in Eindhoven mentioned by the media, she has never seen them before.
When the news spread, Xu Qi received another call from the well-known domestic agent who had first contacted him. It was obvious that the spread of the news this time was related to him.
This middle-aged Chinese man with FIFA agent is actually a businessman with his own company.
In fact, many domestic brokers have dual identities as businessmen, because they cannot make much money through brokers, and to obtain a FIFA license, they also need to pay a high deposit.
Therefore, most of the Chinese football agents do not aim to make money.
The agent named Wang told Xu Qi that Eindhoven was indeed very interested in Xu Qi. They were very interested in Xu Qi after watching the Olympic Games between Xu Qi and Belgium.
At that time, Xu Qi's breakthrough made Eindhoven's two main players, Virmulen and Vertonheng, Ajax, miserable, in the Dutch Eredivisie, miserable, so Xu Qi's performance in this game also attracted their attention.
According to his statement, if Xu Qi agreed to Eindhoven's needs, his salary would be a big increase compared to his current salary in Luneng, and he would also receive a signing fee.
Because in his opinion, Xu Qi is a quasi-free agent whose contract is about to expire, Eindhoven does not need to pay him a transfer fee.
From the communication content on the phone, Xu Qi knew that the other party had found out about the content of Xu Qi's current contract with Luneng. First, the contract is indeed about to expire, and second, his salary is currently low in the team.
Therefore, even if you give Xu Qi a significant increase in salary, it will not be much higher. I am afraid that this major increase will not be higher than the price offered by Luneng renewal contract with Luneng.
Of course, Xu Qi didn't think about the details of the details now, and he still has to wait for the end of the season.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Wang. I don't want to talk about the transfer before the end of the league. Now our team is preparing for the last round of the game. I hope to consider it after the league is over. Your behavior has caused great trouble to our team's league preparation."
The famous Eindhoven is interested in him? Xu Qi is naturally a little happy, but at this critical moment, he is promoting himself and Eindhoven together through some media hype, and the act of forcibly tied himself to the same place really makes Xu Qi reluctant to accept it.
Chapter completed!
