"Actually, I should have expected that you will leave Alvara one day..."
Joao, Valente stood in a slightly empty room, and there was even an echo in the room when he spoke.
Except for the basic furniture, everything else in this room has been packed and ready to be shipped away.
This is obviously not the amount of luggage that a player who is going back to China to participate in the World Cup training camp should carry.
Xia Xiaoyu stood beside him with a smile on his face, and said calmly: "Alvara didn't buy me to let me die here. But you can, Joao, you are a native of Lisbon."
"I don't know if I can do it. There are too many uncertainties in the football world, just like life." Valente pouted and shrugged.
The Portuguese Super League has ended, and Alvara failed to win the league championship in the end, but they still qualified for the Champions League next season-the runner-up of the Portuguese Super League is also eligible to participate in the Champions League.
But starting next season, Xia Xiaoyu will no longer represent Alvara in the Champions League. The Alvara Club has reached an agreement with the Serie A team Roma City to sell Xia Xiaoyu to the other party at a price of 37 million euros.
From next season, Xia Xiaoyu will wear the Roma City jersey.
He also finally jumped off the pedal after coming to Europe.
It's just that there are not many people who know the news because the clubs of both sides have not made an official announcement.
It's just that many people know that Xia Xiaoyu is leaving the team.
He has played in Alvara for four seasons. Although the two sides renewed their contract last season, in fact, from the moment of contract renewal, it means that Xia Xiaoyu will start the process of leaving the team.
Because Alvara and Xia Xiaoyu renewed their contract purely to sell at a higher price in the future, so as not to cause the embarrassing situation of letting Xia Xiaoyu leave the team freely when the contract expires.
In fact, after the UEFA Champions League group stage this season, Alvara failed to advance to the top 16, and the Alvara club began to promote the sale of Xia Xiaoyu.
Xia Xiaoyu's agent also began to express to the club the player's willingness to leave.
If you stay in Alvara, you may be able to participate in the Champions League every year, but with Alvara's strength, qualifying for the group stage is already the limit.
It is almost impossible to go further-reaching the quarter-finals last season is Alvara's best result in the Champions League in the past ten seasons. Most of the time they can qualify from the group stage, it is worth celebrating. Because the number of times the group cannot qualify is more.
Not to mention that the overall level of the Portuguese Super League is indeed not as good as the five major leagues.
Continuing to play in the Portuguese Super League is not good for Xia Xiaoyu's development.
The price of 37 million euros is actually not high for Alvara, who has a "European black shop". million euros, he went to London Bridge.
But the 37 million euros has already made Xia Xiaoyu the second most valuable Chinese player, and the third most expensive Asian player-there is no suspense about the most expensive player in China and Asia, of course it is Hu Lai. The second highest in Asia is the former "Light of Asia", Korean star Park Sun-tae. When he transferred from Sevilla Navigator to London Bridge in the summer of 2024, the transfer fee was 35 million pounds, which was about 39 million euros at the time.
In terms of value, Xia Xiaoyu has even become a player at the same level as Pu Chuntai.
At that time, Park Chun-tae was at the best stage of his career and had just helped the Seville Navigators win the Europa League championship. He was a well-deserved "Light of Asia".
In other words, without Hu Lai, Xia Xiaoyu can now be regarded as the next "Light of Asia".
But in fact, Xia Xiaoyu's worth is a bit inflated. After all, compared with Park Chuntai, Xia Xiaoyu doesn't have many honors that can be given away-except for the Portuguese domestic champion, he does not have the honor of the European Championship.
The reason why it can still be sold at this price is because of Alvara’s tradition on the one hand, and on the other hand.
On the one hand, it is also because the city of Rome really likes Xia Xiaoyu.
After following and observing Xia Xiaoyu's performance for two seasons, they finally decided to make a move this summer, and they had to finalize the matter before the World Cup, because they were afraid that after the World Cup, Xia Xiaoyu would perform well and his worth would increase...
At that time, they were still facing some competitors, so they only quoted a price of 37 million euros.
The head coach from Roma City, Simao Seko, has coached Alvara, and that was six years ago.
So he knows very well what strength it is to be able to play the core of the midfield in this team.
The reason why Xia Xiaoyu chose to play Serie A in Rome instead of the Premier League or La Liga was also because Seco flew to Lisbon to have an interview with him.
When the head coach of a team appreciates himself so much, it is not difficult to make a choice.
Roma City is considered a strong team in Serie A, but not every season can stably participate in the Champions League.
If you go to Rome, you may also face the embarrassing situation of not being able to play in the Champions League.
But Xia Xiaoyu finally decided to go to Rome and start a new adventure.
It's just that this time, compared with four years ago, he has more confidence.
This kind of confidence is not only reflected in the data of his six goals and 21 assists in the three seasons of Alvara's first team, but also more in what the data cannot show. With Xia Xiaoyu's position and responsibilities, in fact, he does not need to be responsible for direct assists. He is more of a midfielder and is Alvara's dispatching and command center. This kind of player doesn't often reveal himself, and often hides behind the scenes. Only professionals know his goodness. In front of fans and the media, he appears to be "no great achievement."
Now he is going to Serie A to continue to temper himself.
"I will miss the time when we used to play games here..." Valente said with emotion as he looked around the much empty living room. "Good luck to you too, Xiao Yu. I wish you all the best in Italy and I hope we can meet again in the Champions League."
After speaking, he opened his arms and gave Xia Xiaoyu a hug.
As a good friend from the reserve team to the first team, he was really reluctant to leave Xia Xiaoyu.
But he also knew that leaving Alvara was the best choice for Xia Xiaoyu.
Because he is not like himself, and he still shoulders the expectations of the 1.4 billion Chinese people. How could it be possible to stay in such a small place as Portugal?

Wang Guangwei, who was packing his luggage, received a call from his manager, Shan Daosheng.
"Guangwei, why didn't you reply to the WeChat I sent you?"
"Ah? I mean, why did my phone keep ringing just now, so it was from you, Uncle Shan?"
"Hey, you kid... why didn't you reply to my message after you saw it?"
"I didn't see it, I heard it. The phone was in the living room, and I was packing things in the bedroom. I haven't taken care of it yet... What's wrong?"
"A photo of the house. The new house I found for you in Naples, can you take a look at it anyway, and call me back.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Uncle Shan, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'll see right away..."
Said Wang Guangwei took down the phone, cut out of the call, clicked into WeChat, and looked at the dozen or so pictures that Shan Daosheng sent him.
It was a very beautiful small villa. From some photos, it seemed that the blue Mediterranean Sea could be seen in the distance.
When Wang Guangwei looked at the photos, Shan Daosheng also introduced: "Actually, strictly speaking, this house is not in Naples, but a little outside... But it is very convenient to get on the highway and go to Vesuvius' training base. The key is that it is safe here, and you know the security in Naples..."
"Okay, it's good, I have no objection. Uncle Shan, you have a good vision!"
"It sounds so perfunctory..."
"Ha! No, Uncle Shan, you are thinking too much. It looks like you are on the mountain?"
"Halfway up the mountain, you can get on the expressway when you go down the mountain, and the transportation is convenient. It is also very convenient to go to the supermarket for shopping. This place is rich.
District, I guess you will meet many Vesuvius teammates by then, and it will be convenient for you to integrate into the team..." Shan Daosheng gave another introduction.
"That's fine, that's all." Wang Guangwei was straightforward.
"Okay, I'll get the lease, don't worry about the rest, go back to China for training."
"Okay, thank you Uncle Shan!"
"Hey, why are we being polite? What should be done is what should be done."
After hanging up the phone, Wang Guangwei did not continue to pack his luggage, but walked to the window and looked at the street scene of Genoa outside.
He didn't live in a single-family villa in Genoa, but rented a house in an elevator apartment.
The location is actually very good and very lively.
There are no other problems except that the house is small.
But he was originally a bachelor, and the house was as small as possible, so it didn't matter.
Now he is going to Naples to live in a villa. Does the bigger house mean that his status has also become higher?
It's just... I'm a bachelor, what's the use of having such a big house?
No matter how many rooms there are, I only sleep on one bed...

Chen Xingyi received a call from his former head coach Yop Munster at the airport.
Just at the end of the Eredivisie League, the contract between Yop Munster and Amsterdam Athletic Club expired, and both parties decided not to renew their contract.
So Munster no longer served as the team's head coach, and he naturally became Chen Xingyi's "former head coach".
"Star, where are you?" Munster asked on the phone.
"Me? I'm at the airport and I'm getting ready to go back to China."
"Have you gotten on the plane yet?"
"No, there is still a while..."
"That's great." Munster on the other end of the phone laughed ~www.novelbuddy.com~ and asked, "You have been in the Netherlands for four years, do you want to change places?"
Chen Xingyi was stunned for a moment, and then said honestly: "Of course, I think, sir."
Anyway, Munster is not the head coach of Athletic Amsterdam anymore, so he is not afraid of being misunderstood.
"Think? That's really great. I've already said that you shouldn't stay in Holland forever." Munster laughed.
"Hey..." Chen Xingyi didn't know how to answer his former head coach, so he could only smirk.
"It's like this. As for me, I have decided to sign with Manchester Athletic and become their new coach. And you, Xing, are you interested in going to Manchester with me?"
Chen Xingyi held the phone and was speechless.
His father Chen Hantang next to him gave him a strange look.
Then I heard my son nod vigorously and said, "Of course! I have! I'm interested, sir!"
**※
PS, the Japanese team lost to Costa Rica, which is really speechless. Belgium lost to Morocco, even more speechless!
This is football...
Tell me about today's four games.
Cameroon and Serbia, I think Serbia will beat Cameroon by two goals.
South Korea and Ghana, I am optimistic about a small victory for South Korea.
Brazil and Switzerland, no suspense, Brazil won two goals.
Portugal and Uruguay, the two teams played against each other in the last World Cup, and Uruguay had the last laugh. This time I am still optimistic about Uruguay beating Portugal. After all, judging from the last game, Portugal's defense line has too many hidden dangers...
I think Uruguay could beat Portugal by one goal.
Just sauce!
