Victoria Park Youth Training Base

Porto Youth Training Director's Office

Director Carlos is watching the game and training video of Gao Xiaodong brought by Andrews with U17 head coach Pereira and scout Hansen.

After watching the video and listening to Andrews' introduction, Pereira said: Mr. Andrews, I always think that you and Mr. Hansen are the best and most dedicated scouts in the world. I respect your authority in this field. But please also listen to my opinion.

Andrews said: Coach Pereira, just speak straight.

Pereira said: It is undeniable that this fat man possesses the extremely rare confrontation ability of Chinese people. He is very experienced in playing football, very smart, and very good at using his physical advantages. He is only 17 years old. It is hard to believe that he will be so experienced. In addition, I found that his skills are very comprehensive. Although his position is a forward, when he returns to the midfield, he can also deal with the problem very well. However, the problem is also very serious. I came from playing wild football. Irregular technical movements have been fixed. There are a lot of bad habits. It is almost impossible to change at this age. I don’t have a good sense. They didn’t choose him, and it’s definitely not without reasons. Like Benfica and Real Sociedad, their youth training level is very high. Therefore, I think such a player has no value in training. He is not capable of playing in the Portuguese League. level of competition, give up.

Andrews said: It is definitely not easy to change, but it is not without amateur players, such as Klose, Ribery, and Pereira. I think he should be given a trial training opportunity.

Carlos, the director of youth training, said sharply: In amateur competitions and low-level competitions, the actual combat ability is very strong, but there is no potential, so the trial training is meaningless.

If it was a stranger, Andrews would have given up on such a talent, but he agreed to Gao Xiaodong, and one more thing, Gao Xiaodong's miraculous progress also made him feel that the fat man's potential is not as small as it seems, He defended Gao Xiaodong and said: You guys think the Gao Xiaodong in the video is already very bad, but there is actually a worse Gao Xiaodong. When I first saw him in a competition, he performed very badly, but within two In just two months, he has made great progress, and I think his potential may not be as simple as we see.

Perez smiled and said, Andrews, I think you are a little bit influenced by Eastern mysticism.

Carlos, the director of youth training, said to Hansen who had been silent all the time: Hansen, you have always had a unique vision. Come and evaluate this fat man from Huaguo.

Hansen has a pair of sunken eye sockets, bright eyes, looks like an eagle, he said in a slightly hoarse voice: I think he should be given a trial training opportunity.

Carlos was taken aback, and said: Hansen, you also like him. Hansen and Andrews are the best scouts in Porto and even the world. If Hansen is also optimistic about Gao Xiaodong, then he must give this Chinese man a chance .

Hansen shook his head and said, I don't like him, but I believe Andrews' vision.

Carlos was speechless, what kind of answer is this, but it doesn’t matter if he thinks it’s just an opportunity for trial training. Whether he can pass the trial training or not needs to be reviewed by the talent selection center, so he said, “If that’s the case, then let him come to the trial training for a week. , look at his performance in U17 and make a decision at that time.

Andrews breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Gao Xiaodong can come for trial training, he will be worthy of Gao Xiaodong. As for whether Gao Xiaodong can stay, he can't make the decision. Porto has its own set of standards and procedures for recruiting and selecting players. .

Coming out of the director's office, Andrews immediately called Gao Xiaodong and asked him to come to Porto for trial training tomorrow.

Gao Xiaodong saw that the phone number belonged to Andrews, so he hurried to find Chen Qiang to translate, but Chen Qiang was not there, so he happened to meet Xiao Le,

Gao Xiaodong said: Sister Xiaole, do you speak Portuguese?

Xiao Le said: I understand a little bit.

Gao Xiaodong handed the phone to Xiao Le and said, Then you answer the phone and translate for me.

Although Xiao Le's Portuguese was average, his English was good. Andrews took turns in the two languages, and finally conveyed the meaning to Gao Xiaodong.

It was the first time for Xiao Le to do translation work, and she was nervous. She only cared about the translation and didn't think about the content of translation at all. After hanging up the phone, she suddenly realized that Gao Xiaodong was spotted by Porto, and she was called to try out. She was pleasantly surprised Wow, Xiaodong, Porto let you go for trial training! Porto let you go for trial training! A team has taken a fancy to you! Your luck has come!

Gao Xiaodong was very calm and said, Miss Xiaole, it's just a trial training opportunity.

Xiao Le said: This is Porto. It's not an ordinary team. It's a giant. You have to grasp it. If you can sign Porto, it will definitely give them a resounding slap in the face.

Well, it's an opportunity. Gao Xiaodong is quite satisfied with this trial training opportunity. After all, it is Porto, and Andrews is just a scout. It is impossible to sign him directly, unless he is the chairman of Porto.

Prepare well and perform better tomorrow. Xiao Le was very happy for Gao Xiaodong.

Gao Xiaodong suddenly thought of a problem, he didn't know anything about English and Portuguese, how could he find the youth training base in Porto, and how could he communicate with them.

Let Chen Qiang go with him? But he is the owner of the company and is responsible for so many Star of Hope players. Gao Xiaodong can't guarantee that he will have time to accompany him, so Gao Xiaodong said to Xiao Le: Sister Xiaole, you will accompany me to Porto tomorrow. Well, I don’t understand Portuguese, I’m afraid I can’t find a place.”

Now that two more staff members have come to the training base of the Portuguese Chinese team, Xiao Le is not as busy as before, so he said: Okay, I will ask Mr. Chen for a day off tomorrow, but if you want to play here, you should Make up for Portuguese and English, if you don’t understand the language, you can’t do anything well.”

Gao Xiaodong spread his hands and said, I'm self-sufficient now, no one will give me language lessons, and I don't have the money to hire a tutor.

Xiao Le thought about it: This is really troublesome. If you are in Lisbon, I can help you with tutoring, but you have gone to Porto for trial training. I can't help you, but if you can sign a contract with Porto , the club should find you a language teacher.

Gao Xiaodong said: It's hard to say whether I can pass the trial training, I don't have confidence anymore.

Xiao Le said: Xiaodong, have confidence, I believe you will be able to, you played so well in the Portuguese Chinese team.

Gao Xiaodong smiled wryly, You're blind, there's no way to compare, right? One is an amateur and the other is a professional.

Xiao Le said: Anyway, regardless of whether you are an amateur or a professional, you need confidence.

Gao Xiaodong said: That's right, Miss Xiaole, I'll drink your bowl of chicken soup.

What chicken soup, what do you mean?

I don't understand, so think about it carefully. By the way, Miss Le, don't tell others about the trial training, lest you lose face if you don't pass.

Xiao Le smiled and said, Well, I understand, it's a surprise to pass.

Smart, I have to train, and I will go to Porto to play in the gymnasium tomorrow.

Go.

Gao Xiaodong laughed and took the ball and went out for training.

When Chen Qiang came back in the afternoon, Gao Xiaodong went to Chen Qiang's office and told him about going to Porto for trial training. Chen Qiang was very happy. After he came back from Porto, he also thought that what Andrews said was a polite thing, and Pu C didn't even like it. Players, how can a giant like Porto like it? It's unscientific. I didn't expect it to become true. Regardless of whether you can sign or not, just going to Porto for trial training is good news in China.

Gao Xiaodong also thought of this, and he said to Chen Qiang: Mr. Chen, don't tell others about this, it's still an unspoken matter.

I understand, don't worry. Chen Qiang didn't want to expose it. There are many Chinese agents active in Portugal. Gao Xiaodong is a free agent and has no agent yet. People snatched it away, so how could they announce it in advance.

However, Chen Qiang thought of another question. If Gao Xiaodong passed the trial training in Porto, how would he play in the amateur league? He was competing for the league championship. If he missed this time, he would not know when the next time would be. But Chen Qiang can't say that. Gao Xiaodong is facing a good opportunity related to his career. If you are an amateur league champion, let others take time to help you. If you are not extremely selfish, you can't say that. from.

Unexpectedly, Gao Xiaodong said: Mr. Chen, I went to trial training. I can't participate in the team's training, but the game can't be delayed. You must inform me when the time comes.

When Chen Qiang heard this, his heart warmed up. This old gangster who spent half his life in various classes in China and Europe was moved. This kid usually looks very slippery, but only at critical moments can he see his true nature. He really values ​​loyalty and affection. He hurriedly Said: How can it be done, this trial training is a major event related to your life.

Gao Xiaodong said righteously: I must help the team win this championship, Mr. Chen, you provide me with food, drink, and subsidies. If I don't help you win the championship, I am sorry for my conscience. You must Don't stop me, if you don't let me participate in the competition, I won't recognize you, Mr. Chen.

Chen Qiang didn't know that Gao Xiaodong came back to play amateur competitions because he was promoted to S level, he was even more moved, patted his chest and said: Okay, good brother, good fat man, from now on you will be my Chen Qiang's brother, as long as I, Chen Qiang can do it. I will do it for you without saying a word.”

Gao Xiaodong is speechless, at your age, Baldy Chen, you can be my uncle, and you call me brother and brother, isn't that taking advantage of me?
