The Champions League group stage is over, and the round of 16 knockout stage matchups are out, but the impact of the Champions League continues. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Before the final round of the Champions League group stage, because Porto's opponents were second-rate in Europe, and they lost badly against Arsenal, the European media did not pay much attention to them, although the popular new star Gao Xiaodong in the summer transfer market scored from time to time, but there was a super genius star Messi Ronaldo in front, and then Aguero, Benzema, Boyang, Gao Xiaodong, who was known as the rough brother of China, was almost ignored by the biased European media.

However, after the battle for the first place in the group with Arsenal, Gao Xiaodong (Arsenal is a top giant, with fans all over the world, and their games have also received all the media attention), Gao Xiaodong has become one of the focal figures in world football.

At this time, everyone suddenly found that the rough brother of the past seems to be less rough now, and the dribbling is not so delicate, but he will no longer use the "back play" technique in basketball to move forward with the ball.

On this basis, Gao Xiaodong's shooting skills are still unsolved, and in six games in the group stage, Gao Xiaodong scored 5 goals, in addition to 2 assists.

In the entire group stage of 32, only three scored five goals, the other two being Messi and Benzema. Only Franck Franck Ribery, Frank Lampard, Messi and Cesc Fabregas have assisted more than two goals, and any of the above people are worth more than 40 million, and Messi and Lampard are not for sale.

After the group stage, the official UEFA official website naturally put Gao Xiaodong into the best team in the group stage, and it needs to be said that Ronaldo, the favorite of the European Ballon d'Or and the world footballer, was not selected.

Undoubtedly, at this time, the most ridiculed are Arsenal, Manchester United and Inter Milan.

These three teams are undoubtedly the most discerning, and when the world is focused on the superstars of Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, Arsene Wenger, Ferguson and Mourinho have all spotted Gao Xiaodong's rough brother.

Arsene Wenger, Ferguson and Mourinho actually have the best opportunity to buy, when Porto was banned from the Champions League, Gao Xiaodong's price even fell to 27 million euros, but at this time Wenger, Ferguson, and Mourinho were worried that Gao Xiaodong had not been tested in the competition, and felt that Gao Xiaodong's skills were too rough, so they did not make a move, hoping to wait for a lower price.

Now Gao Xiaodong has experienced the test of the competition, and his performance is still outstanding, but unfortunately there is no longer a chance to buy 27 million euros, and after receiving the attention of the whole Europe, the above three clubs may not be able to buy even if they pay 37 million.

Diogo, the general manager of Porto, relayed the words of the club's president, Da Costa, "Now I feel that the liquidated damages of 50 million are not very safe, 30 million? 30 million can only buy Hulk in Porto." ”

Then Diogo said that Porto were prepared to pay additional liquidated damages to Gao Xiaodong's salary increase during the winter break.

Maybe this is Porto's self-hype, the first black store in Europe often does this, but Gao Xiaodong and Hulk performed so well, Porto is not worried that there are no buyers, so they naturally dare to open their mouths.

When Gao Xiaodong rushed out of Portugal to Europe and the world, the evaluation of Gao Xiaodong in Chinese domestic football also completed the leap from a potential star to a famous star, and then from a famous star to the first star.

The core of Porto, the best player in the Portuguese Super League in the future, Gao Xiaodong became the number one star in China It would have been a very, very natural thing, but this span is a bit fast.

When Gao Xiaodong won the Portuguese Super League championship with Lexus last year, the Chinese media still regarded him as a potential star, but only three months after coming to Porto, Gao Xiaodong has crossed two steps in a row and has become the first star.

The benefits brought by this first star are also obvious, after the draw for the Champions League knockout round, Chen Qiang told Gao Xiaodong in surprise that the sales of the sharp knife generation series of football boots he endorsed for Uber have surged this month, and now more than 40,000 pairs have been sold, and this month, the sharp knife generation series has sold nearly 20,000 pairs, almost the sum of the previous two months.

Although Uber is worried that domestic sneakers will not sell, the price is not high, only 660 yuan a pair, far inferior to Li Ning's iron series, but if this sales volume is maintained, it is very promising to exceed 100 million yuan in sales a year.

Gao Xiaodong's sales commission is one-twentieth, that is to say, in the past three months, Gao Xiaodong has already received a commission of 1 million yuan, which has exceeded the fixed endorsement fee of 1 million.

Of course, Chen Qiang was pleasantly surprised, he is now just Gao Xiaodong's agent in China, and the high transfer fee and annual salary are not his share, only the commission of Huaguo's commercial activities and advertising, because Gao Xiaodong has been in conflict with the Football Association, Chen Qiang is very worried about whether Gao Xiaodong's commercial value in China will be affected, and now it seems that his worries are superfluous, and Gao Xiaodong's popularity is not at all affected by the national team.

As Gao Xiaodong's performance in the Champions League is getting better and better, Uber's sharp knife series is selling better and better, and there are more and more businesses who want to find Gao Xiaodong's endorsement.

The heat of the Champions League group stage lasted for more than a week, and it was not until the day of the European Ballon d'Or that the media focused on the world-renowned European Ballon d'Or.

Founded in 1956 by France Football magazine, the European Ballon d'Or was limited to European players until 1994, expanded to include players playing in Europe after 1995, and expanded to all players worldwide in 2007. The award is judged by senior journalists from UEFA's 52-member sports media, and has a higher status in the industry than the FIFA version of the "World Footballer of the Year", which is decided by the head coaches of the national teams of each country. Last year, AC Milan's Brazilian Kaka won the honour, when Cristiano Ronaldo was second and Lionel Messi third.

In this season's Champions League group stage, Ronaldo did not perform well, and did not even score the best team, but last season belonged to Ronaldo, last season, Ronaldo led Manchester United to win the league and the Champions League, in the Premier League, Ronaldo scored 31 goals, won the Premier League Golden Boot, and in 11 Champions League games, Ronaldo scored 8 goals, is the official best striker and best player in the Champions League, and the winner of the European Golden Boot.

Before winning the Ballon d'Or, the vast majority of people thought that Ronaldo was the biggest favorite, and Ronaldo also believed that he was the best candidate for European footballer of the year.

The day before Christmas, the European Ballon d'Or was announced, and he finally became the first Manchester United player to win the Ballon d'Or in 40 years after Best, and the eighth player in English football to win the Ballon d'Or, ranking second and third Messi and Torres.

Although Gao Xiaodong is a little envious, jealous and hateful, he is also self-aware, knowing that in two or three years, he may not have any hope of competing with Ronaldo, Messi, Kaka and others for the highest honor in football, so he can only spit secretly, saying that when Lao Tzu rises to a superstar, he will snatch any golden ball and any gentleman.

Although Gao Xiaodong didn't want to be his foil when Ronaldo was in the world, the media did not let him go.

After Ronaldo won the award, Sky Sports selected the top ten newcomers who may win the Ballon d'Or after Ronaldo, Gao Xiaodong is impressively listed, and only ranks behind Messi, Torres, Aguero, Benzema, Bojan and other talents, and before Anderson, Nani, Pato, and Walcott.

Then Gao Xiaodong and Bojan were questioned by fans, many fans thought that the two of them were not worthy of Anderson, Nani, Pato, Walcott, and Gao Xiaodong and Bojan fans thought that the two of them were actually ranked low, they were second only to Messi and Torres, so the fans of these stars started a scuffle on the Internet for rankings.

After being involved with the Golden Globe Awards, Gao Xiaodong was not at peace, and reporters often asked him, have you ever thought about winning the Golden Globe Award? Do you have the confidence to win the Golden Globe Award? Is it an incentive for you to win the Golden Globe Award at such a young age? Is your idol Ronaldo or Kaka?

Gao Xiaodong was asked anxiously later, and finally said: "Who doesn't want to win the Golden Globe Award, if you can get it just by thinking about it, I will definitely take him three or five, besides, I don't know Ronaldo, don't face him in front of me in the future." ”

Gao Xiaodong's words are normal, but after they become lead words in the hands of reporters, they become: Gao Xiaodong wants to win five golden balls, and Gao Xiaodong disdains to mention Ronaldo. There are also interpretations: Gao Xiaodong disdains Ronaldo to win the award, and hopes that the Golden Ball will dominate for five consecutive years.

The arrogant Ronaldo naturally didn't know that this was a reporter's problem, and after seeing the news by chance, he immediately classified Gao Xiaodong into the ranks of arrogant villains.
