Chapter 325 The final battle
Valencia, in English pronunciation, is generally pronounced as Valencia, and in Spanish pronunciation, it is generally pronounced as Valencia Щщшlā
This is a city located in the heart of Iberia. Compared with a bustling international metropolis like Madrid or Barcelona, it is quieter and more peaceful.
Valencia is also Spain's third largest city. According to the number of members, this old-fashioned La Liga powerhouse ranks third in La Liga, second only to Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Judging from the standings last season, Valencia's strength is also ranked third in La Liga. Valencia is 25 points behind Real Madrid, the second-placed La Liga, and eight points ahead of Sevilla, the fourth-placed team.
It can be said that it is the team with the closest strength to the two super strong teams of Barcelona and Real Madrid in La Liga.
However, in the new season, their performance is under great pressure. The two core members of the team, Villa and David Silva, have now left the team. If they want to continue to remain third in La Liga or even achieve better results, they must make a difference in the transfer market.
Therefore, Valencia, which actually had big financial problems, decided to introduce Xu Qi, although Xu Qi's value made them a little unacceptable.
However, Xu Qi is also very interested in teams like Valencia because they can guarantee their main position.
If you go to those top giants, like his teammate Ziglinsky last season, he has no chance to play in Barcelona at all, and it can be said that he has been on the bench for the whole season.
In fact, Ziglinsky has the ability, but his footwork and ball-taking ability are completely unable to meet the requirements of Barcelona.
So, his old teammate Ziglinski's journey in Barcelona was a failure.
Even though Xu Qi's performance in the Champions League this season is very eye-catching, after all, there are not many games he uses to prove his ability. If he really goes to those wealthy families, he may not be able to become the main force.
Xu Qi's plan is decided to be more conservative and not go to the real giant team too early.
The word "Wealthy Family" has many meanings. The so-called "Entering a wealthy family is as deep as the sea" is not just a joke.
Similarly, Valencia actually needs players like Xu Qi, which is of great help to them develop the Asian market. In fact, Valencia is also negotiating a sponsor from China. This sponsor from China is also an important reason why they are determined to sign Xu Qi.
Therefore, in this regard, Valencia can only meet Xu Qi's salary requirements as much as possible.
Regarding salary, Xu Qi's psychological expectation reached an annual after-tax salary of 4.2 million euros, and the bonus was calculated separately.
At the same time, Xu Qi's requirements for the issue of portrait rights are not excessive. All his personal endorsement contracts are owned by himself. Xu Qi, who sells jerseys or other related player items, will only obtain a share based on a certain proportion. However, the club accounts for the majority in this regard, and Xu Qi does not require a high proportion.
Xu Qi's arrival also allowed Valencia to receive a larger amount of sponsorship when negotiating with some Chinese sponsors.
Finally, after a few days of disputes, Valencia finally agreed to Xu Qi's request.
During the negotiations, there was another match in the Ukrainian Super Cup, and Xu Qi still started.
The opponent is Ukrainian Cup champion Simferopol Taurus.
In this game, the Donetsk Miners showed their strong overall strength.
In this Super Cup, Xu Qi scored terrifying data, shot three passes, and directly created four goals.
In this game, the Donetsk Miners also swept Simferopol Taurus 7-1.
At this moment, Xu Qi also won this trophy that he had never won before.
So far, Xu Qi has also won the glory of three domestic leagues, domestic cups and Super Cups in Ukraine.
It can be said that it has collected all Ukrainian domestic champions.
At the same time, the UEFA Cup championship was also won by him during his time as the Donetsk Miners. In more than a year and a half, Xu Qi won four championships.
During the Donetsk Miners' period, Xu Qi was successful and famous, and can be regarded as a legend of the Donetsk Miners' team.
Although I have been here for only a year and a half, it is hard to forget this player from China compared to Donetsk fans.
At this moment, only the official announcement about Xu Qi's transfer to Valencia has been left, and the media has basically confirmed that Xu Qi's transfer is about to be.
In the Ukrainian league, the Donetsk Miners played against the Kiev Arsenal at home, and Xu Qi sat on the bench.
This game is likely to be the last game where Xu Qi stayed in Donetsk.
According to the media disclosure, Xu Qi's official transfer announcement may only be in the past two days.
In the first half, the two teams tied one-to-one.
In the 64th minute of the second half, Xu Qi replaced Mkhitaryan. At the moment Xu Qi appeared, all the fans of the Donetsk Miners gave Xu Qi an applause to express their contribution to Xu Qi in the past two seasons.
The UEFA Champion, Champions League quarterfinals, and tied for the top scorer in the Champions League. This is the answer Xu Qi gave in the European competition that Donetsk Miners fans are most concerned about.
He made history for the Donetsk Miners, how can fans not thank him?
Even if Xu Qi is leaving now, the fans here cannot forget him.
In this last game, in the 30-minute game, Xu Qi once again used assists to win the team.
In the end, the Donetsk Miners defeated their opponents three-to-one, and Xu Qi also completed an assist.
After the game, Xu Qi and his mentor Lucescu hugged tightly.
Lucescu knew that Xu Qi could not keep it anymore, and Xu Qi should have a better stage to show himself.
He knew that Xu Qi was actually carrying the expectations of 1.3 billion people, and it was difficult for him to stay in this non-mainstream European league.
Xu Qi has now successfully leveled up, and the next journey of Valencia is the stage for Xu Qi to truly show his own to the world.
But Lucescu was not worried. He also had William, Fernandinho, Judson, Douglas Costa, Mkhitaryan, and Teixeira who had just signed.
These players can fill the position where Xu Qi left.
He still has countless demons in his hands, and he can still continue to lead these demons to the European arena. Perhaps this group of people can still challenge the Donetsk Miners to the giant teams and leave an indelible impression on the giant teams in the mainstream European leagues.
Xu Qi is going to a brand new stage, going to Spain, challenging Guardiola's Barcelona, and challenging Mourinho's Real Madrid, that is the stage that should really belong to him.
Chapter completed!
