Chapter 97 Popularity
It took only two days for Xiao Le to tidy up the house. Alexander also bought a full set of fitness equipment for Gao Xiaodong, installed the network, and paid the network fee for half a year. Gao Xiaodong only needs to move his things. Come here and check in.
In fact, Gao Xiaodong didn’t have anything to move, he brought a few pieces of clothing with him to Lexos, and the washing utensils and tableware were replaced with new ones. Only the computer was left at the Portuguese Chinese team’s training base in Lisbon.
It happened that the Rexos Club had found a Portuguese teacher for Gao Xiaodong, and Xiao Le's mission in Rexos had come to an end, so she was going to go back to Xinglong Company and ask for leave with the boss Chen Qiang to return to China for the Spring Festival.
Gao Xiaodong happened to be going to pick up his computer, and at the same time returned the 50,000 euros he had borrowed from Chen Qiang, and then accompanied Xiao Le back to the Lisbon Puhua Training Base.
In the training base, the Puhua team is playing a friendly match with the Star of Hope players. When they see Gao Xiaodong coming, the players of the Puhua team happily greet Gao Xiaodong to come up and kick him.
Gao Xiaodong waved his hands again and again, and said: My three-legged cat's footwork, I won't go up and make a fool of myself.
Yang Fan said: Don't pretend to be aggressive. The person who can score the winning goal in the Portuguese League even said that he has the footwork of a three-legged cat. Come up and replace me.
Yu Debao said: Come on, let's try the life of Portuguese League players.
Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: Not to mention, I was expelled from the Star of Hope, so I don't have the face to compete with elites like you.
Gao Xiaodong's words stimulated Li Sheng, the leader of the Star of Hope team, his face turned red and then pale. Since he managed to expel Gao Xiaodong from the Star of Hope, Gao Xiaodong had good luck. Although he was loaned to Rexos in the Portuguese League, he made his appearance in the second game and scored the winning goal. No player in Star of Hope can achieve such a result. The best relaxation and Yang Fan is just playing in the youth league in the echelon of the giants, which is incomparable with professional games.
Smug villain. Li Sheng said to Scaloni.
It's just that he scored a goal in the Portuguese League. He thought he was someone. With his skills, he may not be able to gain a foothold in the Portuguese League, let alone enter the Porto first team.
Scaloni also felt uncomfortable. After Gao Xiaodong was signed by Porto, he knew that he let go of a player with potential, but in front of so many disciples, he must not admit it, otherwise there would be no more authority.
Chen Qiang came over and hugged Gao Xiaodong, Fatty, your debut is awesome!
Zhang Liang, the boss of the Portuguese Chinese Newspaper, said with a smile: Indeed, it is shocking. Our Portuguese Chinese Newspaper used a page to report this news, and specifically pointed out that this is a player from our Portuguese Chinese team. After the news was sent out, The next day, three Chinese kids came to our Portuguese Chinese team to sign up to learn football.
Gao Xiaodong smiled and said: So, our Portuguese Chinese team also has the hope of becoming a black shop in the future.
Chen Qiang said excitedly: It's incomparable with Porto, but if our Puhua team can cultivate its own echelon players and earn some training fees, then the Puhua team will have a foundation for development.
Zhang Liang said: As long as Xiaodong can become famous in the future, our Puhua team will be able to recruit more young players.
Xiao Le said: I don't know that it will be the year of the donkey.
Zhang Liang said: It's not impossible. At that time, Portugal C was not willing to ask for Xiaodong. Who knew he could be signed by the giants Porto.
While talking, the friendly match between Star of Hope and Portuguese Chinese team was over, Yang Fan came over sweating profusely, and punched Gao Xiaodong in the chest, Xiaodong, the debut show is beautiful, I can't leave tonight, I'll make a show Congratulations to you.
Gao Xiaodong said: No, I'm here to pick up the computer today, I have to go back to Lexos in a while, and I have to train tomorrow.
Yu Debao said: It's not too late to take the subway tomorrow morning,
Xiaodong, we can't look down on our original friends after entering a wealthy family.
Gao Xiaodong said leisurely: I'm from Lexos now, and you are the son of a wealthy family, the celebrity in Scaloni's eyes.
Yu Debao was a little embarrassed, and said, I'm just a player of the youth team.
Chen Qiang didn't know why Gao Xiaodong was targeting Yu Debao, worried what he was saying, so he said: Fatty, you can't leave today, and it's not too late to leave tomorrow. It's really late, I'll take you there.
Zhang Liang said: That's right, although these two places are close, it's the first time you've been here. I'll call Lao Huang later, let's have a drink together.
Gao Xiaodong saw that the hospitality was hard to give up, glanced at Li Sheng and Scaloni who were walking towards the office building, and said with a smile: Okay, I won't leave, or call Leader Li as well.
Knowing the conflict between him and Li Sheng, Chen Qiang said with a smile: You boy, you are too unkind. Leader Li is busy, so he stopped calling.
Zhang Liang said: I don't call anyone else today, just me, Chen Qiang, Lao Huang, the Star of Hope, whoever you are familiar with, call together.
Gao Xiaodong looked at Yang Fan and Yu Debao, and said, These two are from my hometown.
Chen Qiang glanced at Xiao Le and knew that Xiao Le and Gao Xiaodong had a very good relationship now, so he said, Xiao Le also go together. Xiao Le is going back to China tomorrow, so today can be regarded as seeing her off.
Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, Send Miss Xiaole off, I was hesitant at first, but now I have to participate, and I can't even be turned away.
Chen Qiang smiled and said, Okay, let's set off now, and we won't return today if we don't get drunk.
A group of six people drove two cars and came to a Chinese restaurant called Qin Hanlou in Lisbon. This is also one of the most famous Chinese restaurants in Lisbon. The business is very hot. The owner is a friend of Huang An.
Huang An ordered some special dishes from the restaurant, opened a bottle of Feitian Moutai, and everyone chatted while drinking.
From the conversation, Gao Xiaodong learned that in the past six months or so, the Star of Hope players have not developed well. Most of them played in the youth teams of the Portuguese Super League and the Portuguese A, or the adult teams of the Portuguese Second and Portuguese C. There were 3 A player felt that he had no future, so he returned to China to play in the Asian Youth Championship and the Provincial Games, and then never came back.
Chen Qiang also said with great concern that there was a lot of controversy within the General Administration of Sports about the Star of Hope plan. Fortunately, Chairman Long strongly supported it. If Chairman Long resigned, the fate of this plan would not be known.
When Chen Qiang, Huang An, and Zhang Liang talked to Gao Xiaodong, they treated Gao Xiaodong like friends of similar age and status, asking for his opinion on some things, but when talking to Yang Fan, Yu Debao, and Xiao Le, they spoke in an elder tone , not treating them as adults, which made both Yang Fan and Yu Debao a little uncomfortable.
In the Star of Hope team, Yang Fan and Yu Debao have developed relatively well. They are now in the U18 and U19 youth teams of Benfica and Sporting Lisbon. But once they were promoted to the first team, their value would change immediately. Of course, they were not happy about being treated differently by Huang An and the other three.
While eating, someone knocked on the door suddenly, Chen Qiang thought it was a waiter, and said, Come in.
Unexpectedly, it was a fat man who came in with a wine bottle in his hand. After entering, he complained to Huang An, saying: Old Huang, why didn't you tell me when you invited Xiao Dong to dinner? I've always wanted to see him. .”
who is this Gao Xiaodong feels weird for being so familiar, calling me by my first name without even my last name.
Huang An said with a smile: Old Liu, you are busy, I'm afraid it will delay your business.
No matter how busy I am, I have to come and see the fat man who is fighting for our Chinese. Which one is... oh, it must be you. I am Liu Yidao, the owner of Qinhanlou. Welcome to Qinhanlou for dinner. I am the host today, who is it? Don't fight with me. Boss Liu saw Gao Xiaodong's figure, and immediately set his target.
Gao Xiaodong hastily said, That's so embarrassing.
Boss Liu said in high spirits: What's the matter with embarrassment, I represent the hearts of the majority of Portuguese Chinese fans. You and the Portuguese Chinese team have won two national amateur championships for us Chinese. Don't look like they are amateurs. This is Portugal. Ah, which Portuguese dares to say in front of me that the Chinese can’t play football, I’ll spit on him.”
Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, Two amateur champions are nothing, we will also win the Portuguese League Championship and the Portuguese Super League Championship in the future.
Boss Liu said happily: I still think the amateur league is more down-to-earth, but if you win the Portuguese League Championship, I will give you a 50% discount whenever you come to Qinhanlou for dinner.
Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, I thought it was free.
Boss Liu scratched his head and said, Small business, you can't afford it.
Old Huang said: Old Liu, how can I let you be the host, we agreed to congratulate the fat man.
Boss Liu said: Old Huang, you are friends, when you can't drink, I must invite you today.
Boss Liu opened the port wine he brought, drank three glasses with Xiaodong, and made a collective toast to everyone before leaving satisfied.
Boss Liu's arrival has greatly stimulated Yang Fan and Yu Debao. They only now know that Gao Xiaodong is so famous and popular among Portuguese Chinese circles.
Yu Debao's mood was even more complicated. Gao Xiaodong spoke to him in a bad tone today. He wondered if what he said to his cousin that time was passed on to Gao Xiaodong's ears. This fat man is not a kind person. , if he really found out, he would definitely cause trouble for himself. He decided to go back and ask his cousin. If it really got out, he would find a way to explain it to the fat man.
