Chapter Thirty-Five: A Surprise
The next day, Gao Xiaodong came to the gymnasium to train with the city team as usual.
As soon as Gao Xiaodong walked to the sidelines, his teammates yelled for him to treat him with envy and hatred.
Fatty, you have to treat me!
Fatty, you're so developed, you actually passed the undergraduate course!
The fat man is whose answer did you copy?
...
After Gao Xiaodong announced the happy news to his parents yesterday, Gao's father was so happy that he directly gave him 3,000 yuan pocket money in his account. With a lot of money, Gao Xiaodong immediately showed an upstart look in his speech and behavior, and said, Is it a treat? No problem, where you want to eat, order whatever you want, except for the pride of the Junfu.
Wang Dong was full of smiles, although Gao Xiaodong was only training with him temporarily, but he already regarded Gao Xiaodong as his student, he was very happy for Gao Xiaodong, and said: The exam is really good, I have talked with Mr. Chu , It’s no problem for you to go to the Sports Academy.”
Gao Xiaodong said sincerely: Thank you coach, without you and Director Chu, I may not have such an opportunity, I invite you and Director Chu to dinner tonight.
Wang Dong smiled and said, No need, I have something to do at night, Director Chu is even more busy, please wait until you get the admission letter.
While everyone was talking, they suddenly found a blond foreigner who did not know when he came to the sidelines.
Lucheng is not a coastal city, nor is it a city with a developed economy. Foreigners are very rare, and everyone is a little curious.
Gao Xiaodong laughed and said, Fuck! Is this foreign friend here to exercise or to watch us play football?
Li Jinjin said: He went to the wrong place, I think he is still carrying a big bag.
Zhao Yan said: The foreigner came towards us? Who are you looking for?
Whoever cheated on the foreign girl, my father-in-law is here, I'm coming to you, fat man. Li Jinjin said.
Hello, Mr. Mu-de-laugh-dong-gua?
The foreigner came to Gao Xiaodong and spoke in very blunt Chinese.
Fuck, you're dead, you're the little wax gourd, if you can speak it, say it, if you can't speak Chinese, don't speak it, you see, we never speak English, Gao Xiaodong is the most annoying when people say short winter melon, he answered with a displeased face Said: Ha Mule, Dayan Ma, I am Gao Xiaodong.
Foreigners can't understand Dayan Mar, but they can understand Gao Xiaodong, and immediately said happily: I'm Andrews, a scout from Porto. It's great to find you.
This foreigner is the Portuguese scout Andrews. After the Football Association increased the number of selections, Andrews' first choice was Zhao Siyuan, the core midfielder of the Quancheng team, but Zhao Siyuan refused to play in Portugal.
Andrews was ridiculed by Scaloni just now. He didn't want to lose face, so he went to Quancheng to persuade Zhao Siyuan himself. Only after seeing Zhao Siyuan did he know that he had been spotted by a Chinese League One team in Landao and signed a contract with him. With a contract, a professional game to play, and no super strength, Zhao Siyuan is of course unwilling to take risks in Portugal.
Andrews was helpless, so he went around a circle to Lucheng City to find his second choice, Gao Xiaodong.
In order to show kindness and get closer to each other, Andrews used the Chinese he had learned for several days in the first sentence, and all the rest were in English.
The actual culture of these people in the Lucheng City team is only at the junior high school level, and their English has been returned to the teacher long ago. Gao Xiaodong is just a scumbag. None of the more than 20 people on the field understood Andrews' very simple English. Everyone stared wide-eyed and didn't know how to answer.
Do you have a translation for this?
Andrews asked anxiously, but he spoke English, and the city team still didn't understand.
Andrews was in a hurry, and took the ball in the past and bumped it, I'm looking for Mr. Dong Gua to play.
Gao Xiaodong suddenly realized, and said: Coach, he is here to play football and wants to compete with us.
Wang Dong saw that the foreigner was about fifty years old, and angrily scolded Gao Xiaodong, Nonsense. Your English level is too low.
How to pass a line. Find someone who understands English quickly.
Gao Xiaodong spread his arms and said, Where can I find someone who can speak English?
Wang Dong's thoughts turned, and he remembered that there was a graduate from the English Department of the Competition Training Division of the Sports Bureau, and hurriedly said, Li Qianjin, go and call Uncle Sun Haijun.
After Sun Haijun arrived, everyone finally understood the reason for Andrews' visit. It turned out that Gao Xiaodong was spotted by this Porto scout.
Fatty! You are so lucky!
Holding the grass, I was selected!
Fatty, don't forget buddies when you become a football star!
Fatty! Now take a photo and sign it for me. When you become famous, I'll sell it.
...
The teammates were envious, jealous and hated, joking with Gao Xiaodong in real and fake ways.
Haha, don't look at me with eyes of blind admiration, it's just that God has no eyes. Gao Xiaodong was ecstatic in his heart, and whispered that he was really going to get rich this time.
Andrews said: Mr. Gao Xiaodong, are you willing to play football in Portugal? If so, I will enroll you.
Of course I do, but I don’t want to, Gao Xiaodong opened his mouth and wanted to agree, but Wang Dong who was standing beside Gao Xiaodong calmly gave Gao Xiaodong a hand, and said to Andrews: Mr. Andrews, this It happened so suddenly, we are not mentally prepared, can you let us think about it, and we will reply you tomorrow.
Gao Xiaodong came to his senses immediately, and gave Wang Dong a thumbs-up. The man who had played in A-A and the Chinese Super League really thought about it carefully, so he changed his words: Yes, I have to think about it. I still have to go to college.
Andrews wasted time with Zhao Siyuan, and now there are only two days before the time to submit the list to Carlos, so he said: Tomorrow will be too late, the Football Association is still waiting for the list.
Wang Dong pondered for a while, and said: How about this, Mr. Andrews, you can watch our training first, we will have a meal together at noon, and then you can rest in our guest house, and we will give you an answer in the afternoon.
Now that Andrews also knew that this was not an easy matter, he said, Okay, try to hurry up.
Wang Dong assigned today's training tasks, asked the players to train on the field, pulled Gao Xiaodong aside, and asked, Xiaodong, what do you think about going to Portugal for training?
Gao Xiaodong said in surprise: What do you think? Coach, this is a good thing.
Gao Xiaodong has a superstar system, and his goal is to play professional football. When such an opportunity comes, he certainly wishes for it.
Wang Dongdao: Before you take the college entrance examination, this must be a good thing, but now that you have the opportunity to go to university, if you go to Portugal for training, there will be gains and losses.
Gao Xiaodong said: Coach, what does this mean? Didn't I hear that the training in Portugal is free?
Wang Dongdao: Free is free, but if you go to Portugal for three years, you won't be able to go to this university. If you can't play football in Europe after three years, and you can't find a team to accept you when you come back, you will lose your job , Xiaodong, forgive me as a coach, your level and talent, there is no hope of playing in the professional league in Europe, even in the domestic Chinese Super League, you have no hope, you practice too late, even if you practice three times in Europe In 2009, you may not be able to play in China A and China B when you come back. In fact, these two leagues do not depend entirely on strength, but more on relationships. Look at me, I played in League A back then. Ordinary football coach.
Gao Xiaodong said: Coach, what do you mean, going to Portugal is better than staying in China to study in university?
Wang Dongdao: I analyze it from the perspective of personal future. If you want to have a stable job, it is better to go to university. If you want to play professional football league, then training in Portugal for three years is your best opportunity.
Going to university may lead to a stable job in the future. The future of going to Portugal is uncertain, but I still choose to play in Portugal. It is my dream to become a professional player like you.
Before knowing that he could be admitted to university, Gao Xiaodong definitely chose to play football in Portugal without hesitation, but now, Gao Xiaodong just made a decision to play football in Portugal after a little weighing.
Wang Dong took a deep look at Gao Xiaodong, from this child he saw the shadow of himself back then, he had faced such a choice before, a flat avenue, a path full of flowers and thorns, he chose the path back then , and now Gao Xiaodong made the same choice.
Young people always have dreams, Xiaodong, discuss it with your parents, they may not agree with you to play football in Portugal.
I will convince them. Gao Xiaodong is full of confidence. Since he was a child, his parents are busy with business, so they hardly care about him. After coming to Lucheng to study, the distance is further away, and Gao's parents and mothers have no time to talk to him. Don't worry about him, otherwise he wouldn't dare to hang out in the Internet cafe every day. Gao Xiaodong feels that his parents don't care whether he goes to college or plays football.
Don't be so confident. The older generation is very traditional. They think that going to university is the right thing to do, and everything else is crooked. Wang Dong said.
Gao Xiaodong said with a grin: It's okay, I don't fill in the application form now, and there will be no university to go to, and they won't let me play football, so there's nothing I can do.
Wang Dong shook his head, You kid, you just have a lot of ghost ideas. Okay, I've said everything I need to remind you. You decide which way you want to go. Now go to training, perform better, and let this foreigner see.
OK.
As he was walking on the court, Gao Xiaodong laughed secretly. He had just been promoted to an amateur A-level player, and he hadn't had time to show off yet. After a while, he would impress both the coach and the foreigners.
