The press conference was held as scheduled.

In the release hall of a hotel in Jinan, countless media from all over the country were poured in, and even media from Europe.

The news that Donetsk miners may have signed a Chinese genius is only about to be officially announced, which of course has attracted the attention of the Ukrainian media.

Seeing that the time had come, Xu Qi walked up and bowed to the media reporter with a serious expression, and then he walked to his seat and sat down.

"Come on, don't tremble." Perhaps seeing Xu Qi a little restrained, a reporter who was more familiar with Xu Qi shouted like a joke.

This sentence also made Xu Qi smile instantly, and other reporters burst into laughter.

"First of all, thank you for being so many media friends today. I am really flattered." Xu Qi's expression on his face has relaxed a lot. The public opinion pressure has been quite large recently, and there are supportive voices and voices that do not understand.

This also made him wonder which mental outlook should be used to face so many media.

But seeing these professional and well-understood media people who are more familiar with the transfer rules support him, Xu Qi calmed down.

Being recognized is always a good thing.

"Actually, I think everyone knows why this press conference is held here. My contract with Luneng has expired. Next, I want to go to Europe to challenge. Thank you for your concern for the media friends over the past year, thank you for your care from Luneng Club, and thank you for your teammates, coaches, and fans. It may be difficult to meet with everyone after going to Europe. To be honest, I feel a little reluctant."

Xu Qi's speech was actually quite sensational, and his words were indeed his own true feelings.

"The next thing I want to go to is a giant Ukrainian team, Donetsk miners. Maybe everyone doesn't know much about Ukraine, uh. Actually, I don't know much about it, but I think the unknown is also a charm. I know that it is a team that can participate in the Champions League, and their strength is much stronger than the famous ones! I hope to be the main force there so that everyone can see me more in the Champions League." Xu Qi joked.

"Xu Qi, do you like Shevchenko?" Some experts in the media suddenly teased.

Xu Qi was stunned and didn't understand why the reporter asked this question. He was quite familiar with the media person, so he didn't care and asked directly: "I like it, Shevchenko is a superstar in Ukraine, but why do I always feel that there are any traps in your question?"

"Haha, when you come to Donetsk, don't say that your idol is Shevchenko or something. He is from Dynamo Kiev, the miners' mortal enemy!" the reporter reminded.

Xu Qi also smiled and replied, "Okay, I will do my homework seriously and try not to make such mistakes after I get there."

Afterwards, Xu Qi's speech was still about his dreams.

He longs for success in Europe, and almost all Chinese footballers also long for a genius to succeed in Europe.

So, Xu Qi carries the expectations of many people.

The reporters who have reported on football for countless years are naturally looking forward to Xu Qi fulfilling his dream. He hopes that the end of his European journey will not be Donetsk, but cities like London, Manchester, Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Milan City, and Munich!

Of course, it would be amazing enough to be able to gain a foothold in a team like the Donetsk Miners.

In the past few days, many media people have been making up for news about Donetsk miners. They know that this team has very strong financial strength and can even use money to steal some Brazilian monsters from many five major league teams.

Given that many domestic fans do not know much about this Ukrainian giant, these media are also popularizing some knowledge about the Donetsk miners team, allowing fans to more truly understand what kind of European powerhouse Xu Qi joins.

At the same time, there are also some boasts about the Donetsk miners. For a while, many fans "exposed" their identity as "thirty-year miner fan".

According to media disclosures, many fans also learned that the foreign aid policy of the Ukrainian league and the competitors Xu Qi asked to face were basically talented players from Brazil.

If he can stand out in the competition with a group of Brazilian geniuses, Xu Qi will naturally have the strength to serve as the main force in some teams in the five major European leagues.

Perhaps in the future, Xu Qi may not be able to become a top European star.

Anyone who has watched Xu Qi's competition can see his talent that as long as he has enough self-control and hard training, he will definitely achieve something.

...

This press conference won Xu Qi's favor from almost all media, and even those media with close ties to Luneng Club expressed support for Xu Qi to play football abroad.

This also made the senior executives of Luneng feel that the situation was a little difficult to control. Obviously, Xu Qi was gradually drifting away from their team. The Football Association regulations, which were like waste paper, could not help them retain Xu Qi.

Only then did Kang Meng and Han Gongping realize that Xu Qi's words, "He wants to stand up and be the first one" were carefully planned.

Sure enough, he became the first Chinese player to transfer freely.

As the general trend is approaching, and with the strong support of overseas players, the club obviously cannot violate public opinion and public opinion.

Even CCTV and People's Daily expressed their affirmation, expectations and support for Xu Qi's overseas study in relevant sections.

After many heavyweight media expressed their views on this matter, they began to criticize the transfer system of Chinese football. The first thing they received was naturally the Chinese Football Association.

The media and the public strongly criticized the Football Association's strange transfer system, which only protects the interests of the club and disregards the interests of players.

At this time, even the Football Association did not stand on the side of the club. They took the initiative to express their opinions, support Chinese players in playing football abroad, and send blessings to Xu Qi, and at the same time blamed the "losses" suffered by Luneng on the Luneng Club itself.

Relevant personnel from the Football Association pointed out that Luneng Club is not rigorous in handling contract issues, and naturally it is a free agent when it comes to the contract. Luneng failed to renew the contract with the players in a timely manner, which is their own responsibility.

Indeed, if Luneng was willing to negotiate a contract renewal with Xu Qi six months ago and give him a richer salary, Xu Qi would still be willing to renew the contract. The key is that Luneng did not renew the contract with Xu Qi. Although Xu Qi also gave a salary increase at that time, the actual salary level was still too little compared to Xu Qi's performance.

Of course, even if it is renewal, Xu Qi still has to leave, but at that time he may consider non-free transfer methods.

But now, Xu Qi, who has been paid a low salary for a year, does not feel that leaving for free is a loss to the team.

Against the backdrop of various public opinion, the team's senior management can no longer take the blame for the world.

Soon, they issued a public announcement to support Xu Qi's decision to play abroad, and thanked Xu Qi for his contribution to the club over the past year.

But at the same time, they felt more and more that Zhou Haibin should be kept. If Zhou Haibin was let go at this time, they would seem too "selfless".

If you are too selfless, you will naturally appear stupid.
