Live broadcast on July 8th News “Oriental Sports Daily” reporter Xue Sijia wrote an article to report some inside stories about Zhou Qi’s transaction negotiations between Shanghai and Xinjiang. The full text is as follows:
As everyone heard, the Shanghai team has basically decided to withdraw from the Zhou Qi battle.
The so-called game and pull are common things on the negotiation table. From Shanghai to Xinjiang, then to Zhou Qi, and even to every team or individual who is pulled into this transfer, they will have their own demands. Within reasonable rules and scope, there is no problem in trying to seek maximum benefits for yourself.
For a player like Zhou Qi, I think any team will be willing to try as long as there is a chance. Without disturbing the overall framework of the team, the Shanghai team gave the Xinjiang team a trading plan with players + part of cash as the main body in comparison with the quotation of introducing Wang Zhelin at the beginning, of course, the other party did propose to include Wang Zhilin, but the King belongs to the team’s non-selling goods, which is beyond doubt.
In fact, the two teams were very close to reaching a three-party trading plan that did not involve Wang Zhelin, which was why Zhou Qi was once reported to join Shanghai, but because it was not recognized by the third-party teams and players, it ended.
It is worth mentioning that from the beginning to the end, the chips given by the Shanghai team have not reached the so-called “three to four small goals”, and the so-called player signing fees have not been involved in the negotiations. On the premise that the lessons of last season can be described in painful words, large State-owned enterprises that pay attention to public praise and social benefits like Jiushi Group will certainly not take any risks or costs.
There is a pity for the failure of negotiation, but as previously said, “sometimes there must be something in the life, and never force it in the Life”. For the Shanghai team, they still have enough confidence and capital in the player market to operate other players with national names, but rational prices and appropriate timing are indispensable.
In recent years, under the condition that several youth echelon teams of the club have achieved good results, the team will focus on training several young players in the new season, and at the same time find suitable teams for small players who have few opportunities to play, the form of rent outside helps them improve their growth. At present, many clubs have consulted the Shanghai team about the loan of individual players, but they are still in the early stage of negotiation.
This summer, some of the Shanghai team’s generals went to Hungary to play the World Youth Championship, and some went to Italy to participate in the European Training Camp. Their performance was good or bad, and their comments were mixed. Gaps and deficiencies exist objectively, and I hope the boys can regard them as the motivation in future training. It is not those “keyboard heroes” that determine your height, but you are yourself after all.
With the change of the overall environment, the club is also striving to improve its echelon construction. In the case that the first team has signed two foreign trainers, the club will select young players with certain potential in the echelon and send them abroad for training every year.
With the introduction of yuan Tangwen and the successful renewal of Liu Zheng, the Shanghai team will focus on foreign aid in the next stage while seeking suitable internal aid. Currently, the coaching team has traveled to Las Vegas in the United States recently and will look for and inspect foreign aid suitable for the team in the NBA Summer League. Referring to the successful introduction of yabessele in 2016, I hope the team can also gain something this time.
Finally, I wish both Zhou Qi and Xinjiang team a satisfactory transaction result. No matter in terms of national team or CBA league, this series is time to end.
Where will Zhou Qi go next?
