Chapter 265: Lightning Renewal (3070 Monthly Passes Plus Update)
Porto's appeal was rejected by UEFA, and it is almost impossible to participate in the Champions League, at this time, whether it is out of commitment to Gao Xiaodong or because of the team's financial problems, Porto has made a fine-tuning of the price of Gao Xiaodong's transfer, dropping three million euros, 27 million euros can take away the best scorer and best rookie in the Portuguese Super League.

But how can the managers of the big five league giants have a good bird, Porto black shops have slaughtered them for so many years, and now is the time for them to slaughter Porto, therefore, several giants have taken the opportunity to lower the price, hoping to take away the Chinese genius Gao Xiaodong at a lower price.
Not only are the big giants taking advantage of the fire, but the small teams in the five major leagues are also pursuing Porto's midfielder Lucho, defensive stalwart Alves and striker Rjandro, almost wanting to use Porto as a cheap supermarket.
Gao Xiaodong's original condition was that no less than two-thirds of the league playing time, starting and substitute could be, but now seeing that Porto has no Champions League to play, he is also anxious, and lowers the standard, as long as half of the playing time is enough.
However, Manchester United, Arsenal, Inter Milan and other giants who originally chased Gao Xiaodong all said that now they can only buy Gao Xiaodong for about 20 million euros, and do not promise Gao Xiaodong's playing time.
This made Diogo, the general manager of Porto, very angry, saying: "This is one of the best talents of Porto in the last decade, you only paid 20 million euros, it is simply a robbery. ”
England's "The Sun" gloated that Porto had been stealing customers for many years, and now it was finally going to be slaughtered by the major giants.
Germany's "Bild" said that Porto has been open a black shop for many years, and the reason why it has been able to continue is not only because the quality of the players is really good, but also because they can continue to attract a steady stream of outstanding demons, and if they can't play Champions League games, this is a huge blow to them, and it is very likely that it will become a player supermarket like Juventus.
Then "Transfer Market" broke the news that Manchester United are now in contact with Tottenham striker Dimitar Berbatov, Arsenal and Nasri are playing hotly, and Inter Milan have basically negotiated Quaresma.
The situation had become so complicated that Gao Xiaodong had to call Mendes and ask him what exactly he was going to do now?
Mendes told Gao Xiaodong that since Porto cannot participate in the Champions League, then he must not continue to stay in Porto, but because the initiative is not in Gao Xiaodong's hands now, it is impossible to seek too much benefit.
However, Mendes told Gao Xiaodong not to worry, these giants just want to take the opportunity to lower the price, in fact, they are still very interested in him, this is forcing Gao Xiaodong to put pressure on Porto, and in the end, Porto can't hold on, the price is dropped, these giants will still snatch it, and they can also seek some benefits at that time.
Mendes saw it very clearly, and in the end, Gao Xiaodong was definitely not the party whose interests were damaged, but he couldn't get the most benefits.
The calculations of the major giants are also very clear, if Gao Xiaodong wants to leave, he will put pressure on Porto, Gao Xiaodong only has a contract of one and a half years, and Porto has to reduce the price if he doesn't want to fight with chickens and eggs. Therefore, in the end, the only one who was damaged was the black shop Porto that had slaughtered the major giants for many years.
However, at this time, a lawyer named Bruce in Porto changed Porto's fate.
After Porto's second unsuccessful appeal, Bruce took a closer look at UEFA's rules on the Champions League and finally found that UEFA's current ban on Porto was itself a violation.
Due to the UEFA Champions League regulations, according to clause 2.04, any team participating in the Champions League is not allowed to directly or indirectly manipulate or influence the results of matches on domestic or international occasions since April 27, 2007, otherwise the penalty is a ban. Since Porto's bribery scandal took place in the 2003/04 season, it is not covered by the regulations.
After Porto discovered this loophole, they immediately organized a team of lawyers led by Bruce to appeal to the UEFA Appeal Board.
The UEFA Appeals Committee looked at its own terms and concluded that the current rules of competition were indeed enacted in 2007 and that the Porto case took place in 2004. The UEFA Records Committee's penalty decision itself is in violation.
In a rare move, the UEFA Appeal Committee made a decision contrary to the Disciplinary Committee, arguing that Porto should not be banned from participating in the Champions League.
The UEFA president then convened a committee to discuss the matter, which ultimately decided to revoke the punishment imposed on Porto for their ban from participating in the Champions League.
The next day, UEFA spokesman Gellard announced at a press conference: "According to the ruling of the UEFA Disciplinary Committee, FC Porto are allowed to play in the 2008/09 UEFA Champions League. ”
The Porto Miracle usually gets the opportunity to play in the Champions League, which is not just a matter of 10 million euros or 20 million, but also means that the black shop can continue to open.
On the day UEFA's penalty was revoked, thousands of Porto fans gathered around the Stadio de la Longa to celebrate, as did the Porto players.
After Porto obtained the qualification to continue to participate in the Champions League, the attitude in the transfer market immediately hardened, Porto manager Diogo said that Gao Xiaodong not only did not reduce the price, but also increased the price, Gao Xiaodong's transfer fee of 30 million euros, if the transferred team won the championship, Gao Xiaodong played more than half of the time, and the transfer fee would be added by another 2 million euros.
The league is about to start, and several giants chasing Gao Xiaodong are still hesitating, which makes Gao Xiaodong very disappointed, he is too lazy to continue to consume, Gao Xiaodong and Mendes discussed and decided to stay in Porto to continue to play in the Portuguese Super League.
On August 24, Porto announced the renewal of Gao Xiaodong and Porto through its own TV station, "Gao Xiaodong has renewed his contract with the club until August 30, 2011, Gao Xiaodong received the highest salary in the team, about 1 million euros, with this salary is not high, but Gao Xiaodong also obtained 50% of the portrait rights, and Gao Xiaodong's liquidated damages also reached 50 million euros." ”
Gao Xiaodong also held a press conference to announce the news of the renewal of his contract with Porto, Gao Xiaodong told the media: "The league will start soon, I don't want to continue to consume, Porto has the grace of knowing me, without Porto, I can't come to Portugal, the chairman, managers, teammates and fans all hope that I can stay, I decided to stay to help Porto play in the Portuguese Super League and the Champions League." ”
Gao Xiaodong's agent Mendes also accepted an interview with reporters about this matter, Mendes said: "After the end of last season, Gao Xiaodong has been in the whirlpool of transfers, for a talented player, this is normal, everyone wants to get him, but many giant teams are not sincere enough, and they don't want to spend 30 million to take Gao Xiaodong away, I want to tell them now, they will regret it, and Gao Xiaodong's value next season will only be higher than now." ”
Gao Xiaodong's lightning contract renewal with Porto surprised the entire European football world, and major media and online opinions on it were different.
Some think that Gao Xiaodong is still difficult to gain a foothold in the five major leagues, and it is correct to stay in Porto for a year to exercise, and some think that Gao Xiaodong has won the Portuguese Super League championship, and there is no point in playing in the Portuguese Super League for another year, and he should go to the five major leagues to train himself. There are also those who think that Gao Xiaodong has failed to prove himself in the Champions League, and it is difficult to be trusted by the transfer giants now, and after playing in the Champions League in Porto for a year, if he still has a good job, the transfer will be more favorable next season.
The news of Gao Xiaodong's contract renewal did not last for a few days, and the media quickly shifted their attention to the new transfer, but this has nothing to do with Gao Xiaodong, Gao Xiaodong is now putting all his energy into the upcoming Portuguese Super League, and in the new season, he will go all out to upgrade and surprise the world.
