Latest URL: "Luo Kai, are you going back to China together?"

Chen Xingyi asked Luo Kai, who also plays football in the Netherlands, on WeChat.

Soon Luo Kai replied: "No, our season is not over yet."

"It's not over yet? Your Second Division ended earlier than the First Division... Oh, the play-offs!"

"Well, Veronica will play in the promotion play-offs."

"Not bad, it seems that there is hope to return to the first class after only one year of relegation!"

"The play-offs haven't finished yet, we won't know until we finish."

"But even if you return to the First Division, you should and will definitely not be in the Eredivisie next season..."

"Well, I'm going back to Trafford."

"Hey, go back, go back, go and fall in love with Hu Lai and kill each other!"

"..."

"Hahahaha! Next season's Premier League will be exciting!"

"...I always feel that you are gloating."

"No, no, why am I gloating? What's the point of gloating? Don't think about it. You don't know how much I envy you, that's the Premier League!"

"You are also good at Athletic Amsterdam...the second to win the league championship."

In the just-concluded Eredivisie, Sporting Amsterdam finally won the league championship with a huge advantage of 16 points.

As a member of the team, Chen Xingyi naturally won his first team honor in his overseas career.

Now he, like Hu Lai, is a Chinese player who has won league championships in Europe.

"Follow me, what is there to say? Besides, can the champion of the Eredivisie league compare with the champion of the Premier League?"

"Didn't you play a lot in the team in the second half of the season? How could you be a jerk?" Luo Kai asked.

"There are only five assists and three goals in the league. What is it? Not like Hu Lai,

Anyway, you have to be the main force in the team, right? I'm just a rotation player so far..."

Facing Chen Xingyi's words, Luo Kai didn't know what to say. Although he is the main force in Veronica, Veronica is a Dutch second team, and the difficulty of competition in the team is completely incomparable with the top Dutch club Sporting Amsterdam.

And he went to Tramed next season, and he didn't know what his destiny was.

So he could only say to Chen Xingyi: "Come on."

"Well, let's work hard together. We can't let Hu Lai get the limelight by himself!"

Chen Xingyi said something that made Luo Kai feel sad.

Yes, Hu Lai can no longer be alone in the limelight!

Chen Hantang noticed that his son was silent after chatting with Luo Kai, so he asked, "Luo Kai said he won't go back to China with us?"

"Well. Not only will you not go back to the country with us, but you will not go back to the Netherlands with us when the time comes."

"Oh..." Chen Hantang suddenly realized, "He will definitely be called back by Tramed next season."

Thinking of his son's silence, he asked again: "Do you feel lonely? Luo Kai is gone, you are the only one in Holland..."

"That's not true." Chen Xingyi shook his head.

"Then why were you silent just now?"

"I just feel a little emotional... Everyone is working hard for their own goals. Luo Kai is going to get out; Brother Huan has established a firm foothold in Sarria, and is now a well-deserved core midfielder in Sarria; Lao Wang is in Egypt. Derea became the main force, even if Altobelli returned from injury, he did not snatch the main force back from the old Wang. If this continues, the old Wang should be able to completely become the main force in Eldrea next season; Xiaoyu I also returned to the youth team from the first team... It's been a season since we came out, and I finally saw some light... It feels so slow."

Chen Hantang smiled: "It's a very lucky thing to see the dawn in just one season. After coming for one season, I found that I couldn't adapt at all, and finally returned to the country in despair, right?"

Chen Xingyi was right when he thought about it. Although it took a season for everyone to touch the threshold of European football, at least after this season, all of us stayed. This is the biggest victory.

The Volendam football stadium was full of voices and thunderous applause. The 6,000 people seemed to give out the momentum of 60,000 people.

Looking carefully, none of the fans in the stands was sitting. They all stood in front of their seats and applauded the stadium.

In the thunderous applause, Luo Kai walked slowly to the sidelines.

"With five minutes left in the game, Rowe was substituted early. It was his last game at Veronica, so the manager gave him a chance to say goodbye to the home fans alone... …Next season, Ronaldo will end his loan at Veronica and return to the Premier League giants Trafford…”

The camera of the TV broadcast swept around the stands, and almost all Veronica fans stood up and applauded Luo Kai.

"In fact, he could have returned to Trafford earlier. It was Luo himself who applied to continue loaning Veronica for another season. He once said in an interview that he was sorry for not being able to help Veronica avoid relegation last season. , has been brooding. So I want to stay and help Veronica return to the first class... He did what he said!

"Veronica ranked third in the league this season, and Luo made a great contribution. He scored a total of 17 goals in the regular season of the league, and also had 10 assists. He is the number one player in the Veronica team A shooter. He also had two goals and an assist in the two play-off rounds..."

Behind Luo Kai walking off the court, there is the big screen of the Volendam Stadium, and the score is still faintly visible on the blurred big screen:

1:0

Veronica, who played at home, leads Doetinchem.

This ball was scored by Luo Kai.

This is the last game of the second round of the play-offs, and Veronica leads the opponent with a score of 3:1 on the total score.

At this moment, the game is about to enter stoppage time. It is really difficult for Doetinchem to make any waves.

"Veronica's fans will definitely be reluctant to part with this talented Chinese boy, but they also know that little Veronica cannot keep him. His future belongs to the Premier League and Tramed. Just Like his national team mate Hu, that's the stage where top talent should go...

"Now the fans of Veronica use this kind of applause to express their dismay for Ronaldo, and also send their blessings, wishing that Ronaldo can continue to fly like the wind in the Premier League!"

Luo Kai finally walked to the sidelines, high-fived and hugged his teammates who had been waiting there long ago, and completed the handover.

Then he stepped off the field, and instead of returning to the bench immediately, he turned around on the spot and bowed to the fans in the stands in four directions.

The applause grew louder.

After bowing, Luo Kai raised his head and looked towards the stands.

The Volendam football stadium is a small stadium, and the stands are very close to the playing field, so he can easily see the expressions of the fans.

Every one of them is laughing, laughing happily.

You must know that just a year ago, the same stadium was dead silent.

At that time, Veronica was relegated one round ahead of schedule, and there seemed to be more than 6,000 corpses sitting in the Volendam Stadium.

At that time, how many people could have imagined that after just one season, Veronica would return to the First Division?

Looking at the smiles on the faces of these fans, Luo Kai felt that his decision to stay here for one more season was extremely correct.

Although some people may still think that he wasted a season here and think that playing in the low-level league will not bring him any benefits and progress, but Luo Kai does not think so.

Football is supposed to bring joy to people.

He is here, bringing happiness to Veronica fans, isn't this the greatest meaning of playing football?

He turned around and walked to the bench. The head coach came up and hugged him vigorously, rubbed his hair vigorously, and said in his ear: "Thank you, Luo! Veronica will always remember you!"

"That's what I should do, sir..."

The coach stopped talking, but patted him on the back hard and pushed him to the bench.

There, the teammates had all stood up and were waiting for him.

Luo Kai walked up, hugged and high-fived with them one by one, and said goodbye to each other.

His 2026-2027 season is over.

Luo Kai stood on the main stand of the Red Roof Stadium, overlooking the entire stadium.

A green rectangular football field surrounded by red stands.

On the east stand directly opposite, there are white seats spelled out with the abbreviation of Trafford.

Turn your head to the left and you'll see the famous Red Roof North Stand, home to the most ardent Tramed fans. Every home game, that stand will lead the fans to fight for Tramed.

As a Tramed player, it is an honor to be recognized by the North Stand fans.

"...if you can hear the fans in the North Stand singing your songs during the game, it means that you are completely accepted by them."

Luo Kai turned his head and saw the head coach of the first team, Kevin Locke, appearing beside him.

He looked at each other with some surprise.

"You did a good job in Veronica. We didn't agree to let you continue to play in Veronica for another season. But you told us that we were all wrong. It is right to stay in Veronica for one season, Where you have grown and gained confidence."

"I... before making a decision, I actually don't know what I can get there, sir." Luo Kai said respectfully.

"If everyone has to know what they will get before making a decision, then the world will be over." Locke smiled, then looked at Luo Kai carefully, and nodded with satisfaction.

"You are much stronger than when you first came to Europe and I think that will make it easier for you to adapt to the Premier League."

Sui, Luo Kai's manager, heard this and couldn't help showing joy on his face.

The head coach's words mean that the team should not loan out Luo Kai in the new season, but will keep him in the Trafford first team to play in the Premier League!

After being stunned for a moment, Luo Kai also realized what the head coach meant.

So he showed a look of excitement.

Looking at the excited Luo Kai, Locke laughed and held out his hand: "Welcome back to Tramed."

Luo Kai held the hand a little cautiously, and shook it lightly.

His 2027-2028 season, from this moment, has already begun.
