Ice Shooter of the Green Field

On the penultimate day of 2007, Sparta Rotterdam played against Vitesse at home. Pines made a substantial rotation of the lineup, but the striker did not change. Zize still started and Robert still sat on the bench.

Pines also wanted to try a double striker, but the team doctor suggested that Robert should not play for too long in a game. Pines still decided to let Robert continue to sit on the bench, and then send him if the scene cannot be opened.

Waiters played against Sparta Rotterdam in the first half of the season. Waiters beat Sparta 1-0 away. That game was also the beginning of the nightmare of a six-game losing streak.

Therefore, Pines attached great importance to this game and made a very detailed tactical deployment before the game.

The strength of Waiters belongs to the mid-range, which is similar to that of Sparta Rotterdam on paper, so this game is still focused on defense. Zize and Dupron are two fast counterattacks in the frontcourt.

Three games in eight days, all teams are like this, Sparta Rotterdam is certainly very tiring, but there is another advantage for them, there are two home games in three games in eight days, a little less travel fatigue .

Waiters is a team with three games and two away games. They look more tired than Sparta. Their opponent in the last game was PSV Eindhoven, and they probably used up a lot of energy.

Grab a start first.

Pines' goal is very clear, try to steal one at the beginning, and if it doesn't work, find another way.

And this start may be the most successful start of the season for Sparta Rotterdam.

Less than two minutes into the opening, Zize created a chance in a breakthrough from the side. Dupron's shot from the middle was saved, and Buhari followed up with an empty goal.

This is also a rare time for Qi Ce to pull the sideline. In fact, the game has just started, and the players on the field have not yet fully established their positions. Qi Ce keenly discovered the vacancy on the left.

Then Buhari, who was in possession of the ball, immediately passed the ball to Zize, who turned on Meyer's peak possession and sent a good-quality cross, but it was a pity that he did not directly form an assist.

If the strategy of grabbing the start is successful, the next game will be easy to play.

Sparta Rotterdam's defense is very good, especially the two defensive midfielders Van Buren and Lindbergh. The most outstanding thing about these two people is actually their physical fitness. All are starters.

The role of these two people can be seen not only in the midfield, but also in the backcourt and frontcourt.

The game returned to the regular rhythm of Sparta Rotterdam, but this time Zize was not at the forefront waiting for a counterattack. Dupron was at the forefront, and Zize did some serial work in the midfield.

Recently, Qi Ce has strengthened his technical attributes and sent out many imaginative assists in the game. Pines decided to let Qi Ce play a little bit back. Anyway, he is also good at long shots, so this position is very comfortable to play. .

In addition to the fact that Dupron's ability to seize opportunities at the front is slightly poor, this is also a situation where you can't have both.

The game went very smoothly. Before the end of the first half, Sparta Rotterdam got a chance to counterattack. Defender Druwe made a clearance. The front of the penalty area opened a precise shot and scored a goal.

The 2:0 lead was maintained until the end of the first half. In the second half, Waiters struggled for a while and failed to score. Instead, Sparta Rotterdam took this opportunity to score another goal. This time it was Dupron.

The overall situation was settled, Pines replaced Zize, and Robert came on as a substitute, but in the end Waiters pulled a goal back.

Robert was very depressed. After he replaced Qi Ce, the trend of the game was not quite right. Although it would not be said to be reversed, Qi Ce scored three when he was there, and he missed one when he played, but lost one.

This inevitably makes people feel guilty.

After this game, the holidays begin.

A year has passed.

Looking back at Mu Ran, a whole year has passed since returning from time travel.

This year may be the most amazing year in my 30-year life. From a middle-aged and middle-aged youth back to the 16-year-old boyhood, I have successfully become the professional player I once dreamed of.

This was the best year of thirty years of mediocrity, and Zize hoped that it would also be the worst year of the next thirty.

During the seven-day long vacation, Qi Ce was free at once. The recent explosive growth in popularity has expanded the virtual stadium a lot, and the auxiliary facilities have also begun to be complete. Qi Ce can completely complete the training in the virtual stadium to maintain his state. , fitness, but also a comfortable hot bath.

There is also a game console given by the club, even if he stays at home for a week and does not go out, it is not a big problem, but Qi Ce still decided to go back to Germany.

He also wants to take advantage of the holiday to go back to China, but now he is too cash-strapped to allow himself to do so. It is good to play in the Eredivisie this time, but the bad thing is that he is still under the youth team contract, and the salary is one point There is no increase, and there is no goal bonus or anything. After all, it is a youth contract.

This is also an important reason why Qi Ce returned to Germany. After discussing with Wu Jiawen, Zhou Feng and Wu Jiawen decided to find the Mainz club to sign a pre-signed contract first, and at least get a signing fee.

The so-called pre-signed contract refers to the contract between the youth team and the club's adult team. It is signed before the young player turns 17. On the day when the player turns 17, the contract will automatically take effect and cannot be reversed.

Zize has performed so well in the Eredivisie, it is time to sign a valuable pre-signed contract.

In fact, Wu Jiawen and the others had already started contacting Mainz, but they had to wait for the parties to arrive before making a final decision.

Compared with Wu Jiawen and the others, Mainz is the most anxious.

Whether it is the director Haider, or the youth training related personnel Smits, Neustadter, or even the first team coach Klopp, the chairman of Mainz Strutz attaches great importance to Zize's signing work.

When Qi Ce was in the youth team, he was a talent worthy of attention like Schurrle and Meyer, but it was not Qi Ce's football level that attracted more attention from the outside world, but his nationality. On par with the local youth talents in Germany?

But it's clearly different now.

The name Ice Cube Kid has been gaining popularity in the Netherlands recently.

You know, the Dutch league has always been a place where monsters come out in large numbers.

The top clubs of the five major leagues are very concerned about this league. The three major leagues, Eredivisie and Portuguese Super League, can be said to be the elite "suppliers" of the five major leagues. Countless scouts from the five major leagues are always paying attention to what happens in these leagues. move.

Now, the name Qi Ce must have entered the field of vision of many top clubs, but Qi Ce has been famous for too short a time now, and it may not really enter the "shopping cart" of those giants, but he must have begun to notice this young man .

Mainz is of course anxious, especially after the last attempted fraud case, in addition to strengthening vigilance and self-management, there is also the need to keep a close eye on the few players in their hands.

The better the player performs, the more the initiative is in the hands of the player.

During this period of time, Wu Jiawen and Mainz have had several contacts, and have initially finalized the salary level of the Qi Ce senior team contract. Now the two parties still have bonuses and some terms of the contract that have not yet been negotiated.

Qi Ce discussed with Wu Jiawen that the first salary should be decent, about 1,500 euros per week, but bonuses and contract details must be included.

The two most important points, one is the goal bonus, and the other is the salary increase plan linked to the number of appearances.

Now Mainz’s plan is roughly as follows, providing a relatively high appearance fee, each appearance can get 1,200 euros, the goal bonus is slightly lower, each goal is 300 euros, and if Qi Ce represents the front line After the team has played 20 games, the basic salary will be doubled to 3,000 euros.

However, Wu Jiawen believes that the appearance fee can be slightly lower, and the goal bonus needs to be increased. In addition, the salary increase plan is divided into two steps, one time for 10 appearances, and another for 30 appearances.

Wu Jiawen told Qi Ce that Mainz should agree to such a plan. After all, Qi Ce has the initiative now.

As long as Zize's performance in the Eredivisie is better, the greater the initiative, the more bargaining chips he can get in the negotiation.

Mainz Haider sat in his office working overtime.

The life of professional football players is actually not too different from that of the service industry. They go to work when others are resting.

Of course, if you choose someone else to play the game when they are at work, how many of them will come to the football field to watch the football!

These executives are a little more relaxed, but the New Year's holiday is the winter window transfer period, and most of the work of signing and renewing contracts will be carried out during this time, when there are no games.

"Hi, Chris, Qi, welcome back to Mainz." On the last day of 2007, Qi Ce and Wu Jiawen appeared in Haider's office to discuss the details of the new contract.
