Restricted Superstar

Chapter 48

In the morning, Gao Xiaodong was woken up by a burst of sad music.

The apartment is only used for the temporary rest of the players of the Portuguese Chinese Club during training, and the sound insulation is very poor.

For Gao Xiaodong who has just changed his bad habit of getting up early, being woken up is unforgivable.

Bang bang bang! Gao Xiaodong slammed the bed board hard a few times, and shouted, What the hell music is playing, and it keeps people from sleeping.

Bang bang bang. There were three moderate knocks on the door outside, I'm sorry for disturbing your rest, sir.

Gao Xiaodong looked at the phone, it was already past nine o'clock, it seemed that someone else was wrong.

Put on the big trousers, get up, open the door, a short-sleeved white shirt, short jeans, a short, ordinary-looking Chinese girl is carefully standing at the door, and repeats again, Sorry sir, the music is accidentally amplified , to disturb your rest.

Gao Xiaodong scratched his head embarrassingly, smiled, and said, That... it's not too disturbing... This... the music is pretty nice, what song?

The girl was taken aback by the man's roar, but when she saw that the fat man in front of her was actually smaller than herself, and looked very cute in embarrassment, she lost her guard a lot and said, This is Fado, a Portuguese folk song.

Oh, are you a staff member here?

Yes, I am a clerk of Xinglong Sports Culture Company.

Gao Xiaodong glanced at the mop in the girl's hand, Does the clerk even bring cleaning?

The girl said: This training center has just been built, and there are not enough people here, so I will do more.

Gao Xiaodong rubbed his stomach and said, Is there anything to eat around here?

The girl pursed her lips and smiled, and said, There is an egg tart shop in the town, but Manager Chen asked me to cook for you when he left in the morning. I'm not good at cooking, so you can go outside to eat.

No, I don't understand or speak Portuguese, so you can just get me something to eat, instant noodles are fine.

I heard that when Chen Qiang left, he still remembered to ask someone to cook for him, so Gao Xiaodong's dislike for him decreased a lot, but since there is free food, no matter how bad the food is, he still has to eat it.

I'll do it for you,

You wash it first.

The girl turned and left lightly.

After Gao Xiaodong washed his face, brushed his teeth and changed his clothes, the girl also cooked a meal, a portion of paella, the taste was not bad, definitely not mediocre.

Girls with ordinary looks have good cooking skills. Gao Xiaodong sighed, wiped his mouth, and remembered that he didn't ask the girl's name, My name is Gao Xiaodong, everyone calls me fat, what's your name?

Gao Xiaodong was very friendly, and the girl quickly lost her sense of restraint, and said, My name is Xiao Le, and everyone calls me Xiao Le.

Gao Xiaodong said: The name sounds really nice, that Xiaole, when will your Portuguese football team play?

Xiao Ledao: Training on Saturday and competition on Sunday. The competition will take more than half a year.

Gao Xiaodong continued to inquire about the news, saying: I will also play for the team in the future, how about the strength of the team?

Xiao Ledao: We have just formed a team for a few years, maybe two years, and our strength is average. It seems that we lost five or six goals last time, and the manager got angry.

Five or six balls! Gao Xiaodong was a little dizzy. He knew that the Chinese teams were usually relatively good. He didn't expect to be so good. It seemed that he couldn't stay here for a long time. He had to find a way to go to a powerful club.

Do you know the format of the amateur league played here? Gao Xiaodong asked.

Xiao Le shook his head and said, I don't know, it's like the Lisbon region. When they come to train later, you can ask them.

You can’t be bored here for a day, and you’ll be safe when you’re here. Gao Xiaodong decided to go to Lisbon to buy a computer, mobile phone card, bus card and other necessities, to feel the exotic atmosphere here, and to show off and brag when he returns home.

However, Gao Xiaodong doesn't understand Portuguese at all, and the teacher gave back all his English. He is like a blind man here, knowing nothing, and it is really difficult to go shopping and play.

Gao Xiaodong couldn't be bothered by this, so he immediately borrowed Xiao Le's mobile phone to call Chen Qiang and asked Chen Qiang to help him buy computers, mobile phone cards and other items. Taking advantage of him, he asked Xiao Le to accompany Gao Xiaodong to go shopping.

Gao Xiaodong was waiting for this sentence. He smiled and gave Xiao Le the phone, and asked Xiao Le to answer Chen Qiang's call. Xiao Le was only in his early twenties. Xiaodong went shopping and played.

In the evening, Gao Xiaodong and Xiao Le came back. Gao Xiaodong was carrying bags, big and small, staggering from exhaustion, as if he couldn’t walk anymore, while Xiao Le was bouncing around with his hands behind his back, leisurely very.

Before entering the gate, Gao Xiaodong saw a lot of people playing football on the pitch, and there were loud shouts.

Seeing Gao Xiaodong, Chen Qiang shouted: Gao Xiaodong, put your things down, come and meet your teammates.

That's good. Gao Xiaodong saw that there was a ball to kick, and he was immediately refreshed, and put the bags back into his apartment at a brisk pace.

Xiao Le was dumbfounded. This fat man complained a lot all the way, but he didn't expect it to be an act.

When he came to the stadium, Chen Qiang grandly introduced Gao Xiaodong to the Puhua players, and then introduced 6 of them to Gao Xiaodong. Several players are either university students or wage earners.

After listening to Chen Qiang's introduction, Gao Xiaodong felt guilty. The Portuguese Chinese team with 6 semi-professional experiences was poured five or six goals. How strong is Portugal's amateur football?

However, during training, Gao Xiaodong found out that the players with more than half-professional experience are too old and have no physical fitness, and the college students are too young. On the whole, their confrontation ability is very poor, and Gao Xiaodong can knock them tottering.

This is the first time for Chen Qiang to watch Gao Xiaodong play football. Seeing Gao Xiaodong playing like a fish in water in the confrontation match, scoring goals again and again, Chen Qiang was delighted. After the training, he said to Gao Xiaodong: Your level, you can definitely find a club to accept you. Don't worry, I'm in touch.

Gao Xiaodong said: I'm not in a hurry, I just want to play for the Portuguese Chinese team and let them know how good Chinese football is.

Chen Qiang nodded again and again. Although this fat man was greedy and cunning, he was very professional, and said: Tomorrow's game against the Portuguese bank team, you are a surprise player, you have to beat them hard.

Gao Xiaodong said eagerly: No problem, is the Portuguese bank very strong?

Chen Qiang said: In the Lisbon region, he can rank in the top eight.

Gao Xiaodong said: There are several teams in the Lisbon region, and several divisions.

Chen Qiang said: There are four major competition areas: Porto Division, Lisbon Division, Setubal Division, and Algarve Division. amateur league.

Gao Xiaodong said: How do you decide the champion? Is the champion the national champion?

Chen Qiang said: Of course it is the national championship, but this competition system is different from the professional league. The 20 teams in each division will be divided into two groups, and the 10 teams in each group will compete in a round robin. Arranged, and then the two groups with the same ranking will play home and away games, and the order of the 1-20 teams in this division will be ranked according to the score. The first place in the four major Portuguese divisions will have a final round-robin match, and finally determine the champion of the Portuguese National League this season .”

Gao Xiaodong said: How is the strength of our Puhua team ranked in the Lisbon Division?

Chen Qiang sighed, and said: We formed the team late, with few players and no professional coaches. Basically, we are on the bottom.

Gao Xiaodong was speechless. To advance to the amateur S class, not only must he play 30 games, but he also needs to win a national championship. If the Portuguese Chinese team can't win the championship, it's meaningless for him to stay here to play.

Chen Qiang watched Gao Xiaodong remain silent, and said: Actually, amateur competitions are just for fun, the championship is not important.

Champions don't matter? For Gao Xiaodong, the championship is very important, but this is not enough for outsiders. Gao Xiaodong said: Manager Chen, can't we let the players of the star of hope play this amateur game? If you have time in your spare time, there should be no problem.

Chen Qiang said: This is not acceptable, professional players are not allowed to participate in this kind of amateur competition.

Gao Xiaodong sneered, and said, Manager Chen, can I get a fake ID? Who knows, I think foreigners look similar, and I think foreigners look similar to us Chinese.

Chen Qiang looked at Gao Xiaodong in amazement, this fat man, why is he full of gossip, but he still shook his head and said: Even if it's feasible, but there are many people who go up, it's easy to be suspected, and there are few people who go up, so you can't improve your strength much. And once it is discovered, it will lose its credibility, and it will be very difficult to mix in Portugal. In addition, what if a star player is injured while playing in an amateur league? Injuries are the biggest harm to professional players.”

Gao Xiaodong pondered for a while, then suddenly slapped his thigh, and shouted: Yes, don't we have five coaches, they are all professional players, they are only in their thirties, with them and me, we can Forming a starting lineup that has all played professional games.

Chen Qiang's eyes lit up, and he said in his heart, this kid is a talent, this brain is turning too fast, but he hesitated and said: These coaches are here to study, they are very busy, can they have time to play football?

Gao Xiaodong said: Who doesn't want to exercise? You can't spare this time. You are a local snake in Portugal. If you ask them for help, I don't believe they will refuse.

Chen Qiang was speechless, is this a 17-year-old child? This is more cunning than him who has been in shopping malls for many years. As everyone knows, Gao Xiaodong comes from a merchant's family and has been in Internet cafes for many years, so he is completely different from a simple student.

Gao Xiaodong was very excited, and continued: If you want to make it more pleasant, let's use amateur leagues to improve the reputation of Chinese football and prove that Chinese can also play football well. This is for the sake of the Star of Hope Project. I think they will definitely Yes.

This kid is simply a genius! Chen Qiang pondered for a while, and felt that this matter was indeed feasible, and said, Okay, I'll try it and see if I can convince them.
