Chapter 298: Promoted to Team Vice
Gao Xiaodong's goal sealed the victory, and although Lexus made two substitutions in a row, it still could not change the outcome of the game, and finally Porto defeated Lexos 3-2 away from home to achieve six consecutive league wins. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Originally, Gao Xiaodong planned to invite Lexos' teammates to a meal, but because his agent Mendes and Porto President Da Costa had already booked a hotel for his birthday, and considering that Lexos' teammates were in a bad mood after losing, Gao Xiaodong owed this wine first.
Hotel Sagres
One of the most luxurious hotels in Porto.
Porto President Da Costa ordered the largest private room in the area to celebrate Gao Xiaodong's birthday.
When the Porto team's limousine bus arrived at the hotel, da Costa and Mendes were already waiting at the door for the triumphant return.
Seeing Gao Xiaodong, Chairman Dacosta did not hug Gao Xiaodong as everyone thought, but glared at Gao Xiaodong and said: "You are as affectionate as Lexus, I am going to be angry, you have never been a person from Lexos." ”
Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "Chairman, don't be jealous, Porto has always been my favorite." ”
Dacosta laughed, "Well, I forgive you for beating Lexus with a brace." ”
Mendes looked at the pair of young and old, who had an age difference of more than 50 years, and shook his head speechlessly.
Porto's local players are secretly vigilant, this young man can't be easily offended, look at Da Costa's attitude towards him, it's like a grandfather treating his baby grandson, offending him, it is estimated that life in Porto will be over.
Hulk, Fernando, Guarin and other young people were envious, wondering when they would be so favored by the chairman.
Lucho and Risandro saw Gao Xiaodong and Da Costa "show affection", but did not praise them, they were very unhappy, and said in their hearts, we have been in Porto for three years, won two league championships for Porto, a Portuguese Cup championship, and reached the round of 16 of the Champions League twice.
Coming to the huge private room that can accommodate more than 30 people, everyone sat down in groups, and Da Costa said: "Today is Xiaodong's 19th birthday, today we defeated the defending champion Lexos, and the two happy events met together, I pleaded with Coach Ferreira, everyone celebrated together, okay." ”
Ferreira said with a smile: "The chairman opened Chrysostom, how can I disagree, everyone will have fun today." ”
Mendes made two numbers 1 and 9 and inserted them into the huge cake in the middle of the table, ready to light it for Gao Xiaodong to blow.
At this time, the assistant coach suddenly said: "Today is Xiaodong's birthday, there is one thing I want to mention, before the start of the season, the coaching staff once proposed to let Xiaodong be the third vice captain, at that time everyone felt that Gao Xiaodong was young, did not pass the test of the league, could not convince the public, and could not let the Porto fans around the world agree, now, the league has passed 7 rounds, the Champions League has also played three rounds, Gao Xiaodong scored 6 goals in the league, 5 assists, and 3 goals in the Champions League. ”
Ferreira nodded, "Well, this can be discussed." ”
Da Costa said: "This can be decided now, I brought a bottle of 89-year-old port wine, I think the amount is not enough, if it can be passed, it will be regarded as a second birthday gift for Xiaodong." ”
Everyone heard that Dacosta brought two bottles of 89-year-old port wine, and Gao Xiaodong's eyes were a little different.
Because there is a custom in Portugal, that is, on the birthday of relatives and friends, give a gift of port wine of the year of his birth, or on special days, open a bottle of port wine with the same year of birth as himself, which is a great gift.
Mendez saw that Gao Xiaodong didn't understand, so he told Gao Xiaodong about this custom, and Gao Xiaodong hurriedly thanked da Costa when he heard it.
Da Costa smiled: "This can't be compared with your contribution to Porto, let's vote on Gao Xiaodong's role as the team's vice-president." ”
"I think Gao Xiaodong is fully competent as the vice president of the team, and the ability is obvious to all, and the attitude of the Lexus fans and players towards Gao Xiaodong today also allows us to see his personality charm, last time I opposed it, and now I firmly support the decision of the coaching staff. ”
It was Fernando who spoke, last time he was a staunch opponent, but now he has become the vanguard of supporting Gao Xiaodong, and from the meaning of his words, it seems that he was conquered by Gao Xiaodong's charm.
Hulk said: "I supported it last time, and now I support it even more. ”
Alves, the deputy of the local gang, said: "I think Xiaodong is also competent. ”
After Emmanuel retired, Alves was the leader of the local gang, and when he spoke, the local gang players agreed.
Seeing that the Argentine gang led by Lucho did not express his position, Ferreira said: "Lucho, what do you mean?"
Lu Qiao pondered for a moment, did not directly object, and said, "I reserve my opinion." ”
Emmanuel was reluctant to let go of Lu Qiao, and said, "Lu Qiao, what do you think Xiao Dong is not enough material for the team's vice-president?"
Lucho and Emmanuel have always been working against each other, because Emmanuel can't play the main team in the team, and his reputation has been suppressed by Lucho. Seeing Emmanuel's provocative questioning, Lucho became angry and said, "Age, I don't think it's appropriate for that. ”
Emmanuel sneered: "Last week, 21-year-old Sesk. Cesc Fabregas has become Arsenal's captain, is he the right age? ”
Lu Qiao didn't speak, but the expression on his face clearly said, I just don't support Gao Xiaodong as a team vice-president.
Ferreira was unhappy and said: "In terms of age alone, Xiaodong is too young, but with the example of Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas, I don't think we are an exception, since Captain Lucho has reservations, I have decided, from today on, Gao Xiaodong will be the third captain of Porto." ”
Hulk, Fernando and others were the first to applaud, and then in addition to Lucho, Risandro, Rodriguez, the players in the hall also applauded, including young Argentine players such as Tomas.
Gao Xiaodong has been watching from the sidelines, he feels that today's formation is not like an accident, but like a premeditated one, does the coach really want to sell Lu Qiao during the winter break?
Seeing Gao Xiaodong standing in a daze, Mendes secretly stepped on Gao Xiaodong's feet.
Gao Xiaodong woke up from his contemplation at this time, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Thank you, teammates, thank you, coach, in fact, I am still young, and there will be no ...... in being the vice president of the team in another ten or eight years."
Ten years, eight years? This is a sarcasm for Lucho, and the players in the hall laughed when they heard it.
“…… But since the coach has been appointed, I will roll up my sleeves and work hard to make the team's results go to the next level, I am a rough person and can't speak, so I won't say anything, I will cut the cake for you to eat. ”
As soon as Gao Xiaodong finished speaking, Lu Qiao stood up and said, "I'm a little uncomfortable, so I won't eat the cake." ”
After speaking, Lu Qiao left the private room without looking back.
Seeing Lucho leaving, Risandro hesitated for a moment and said to the other Argentine players, "You guys eat, I'm also a little uncomfortable, go first." ”
Risandro was gone, too, but his words before leaving relieved the young men such as Thomas and Fariano, who would otherwise be embarrassed.
Without the planet, no one was spinning, without Lucho and Risandro, the birthday party was still going on as planned, everyone was still drinking and having fun, and it wasn't until 12 o'clock that the players and coaches dispersed.
