While Gao Xiaodong was worried about how to brush up on the game, Chen Qiang, the owner of the new amateur league champion Lushua team, had already received invitations to two amateur competitions. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

One is the Immigration Cup and the other is the Lisbon Amateur League.

The competition of the Immigration Cup is jointly organized by immigrants from various countries in Portugal, Portugal has more South American immigrants and Eastern European immigrants, and the football level of the Immigrants Cup is also quite high, and the Portuguese Chinese team has only been established for more than two years, with a very poor record and a very low level, so it has not been invited to the Immigration Cup.

The Lisbon City League is organized by the Portuguese Football Federation, which belongs to the fifth tier of Portugal, the upper level of this league is the Lisbon Regional League, and the next level is the Portuguese C, which is expected to be promoted to the professional league, close to the semi-professional level, not to mention the level.

The amateur league championship that the Portuguese team has just won is organized by the sports company Kebris, and the Immigration Cup is of the same nature and not formal enough, so Chen Qiang is very happy after receiving the invitation of the Lisbon Amateur City League, and being able to play in the fifth tier of Portugal is equivalent to stepping into the threshold of Portuguese professional football, if the Portuguese Chinese team can attract more excellent players, they may not have the opportunity to be promoted to Portugal C.

However, when Chen Qiang asked for advice in the team about participating in the Lisbon League, the five coaches from the Hope Star in the Portuguese Chinese team were not interested, they came to Portugal for training, amateur football is for fun, and they returned to China to be coaches after a year and a half of training.

Although Gao Xiaodong has no intention of upgrading from the fifth-level league step by step, this is also a way out, besides, Chen Qiang is good to him, he also has to help Chen Qiang, the most important thing is that he is in urgent need of game upgrades now, so he clearly supports Chen Qiang, and said: " Coaches, even if you wait for the end of the training to return to China, it will not affect the Lisbon League game, now people give us face, send us an invitation, if we don't play, maybe people don't want to join in the future, I think we not only have to play the Lisbon League, but also the Immigration Cup, in addition to running in the team, but also to play our Chinese prestige. ”

Chen Qiang was so moved by Gao Xiaodong that he couldn't wait to give him a hug immediately, he applauded vigorously and said: "Gao Xiaodong said well, this is a new generation of Chinese, with ideals and heroism." ”

Zhang Mingsheng saw that the other coaches didn't speak, and said: "I think what Gao Xiaodong said makes sense, even if we return to China, there are other people to make up for it, and this opportunity cannot be given up." ”

The other coaches saw that Gao Xiaodong and Zhang Mingsheng were supportive, and after winning the amateur league championship organized by Kebris, they were respected and recognized by the local Chinese, which made them very happy, and everyone no longer objected, thinking that they could play as long as they could.

The Immigration Cup starts just before Christmas and the Lisbon league starts after Christmas, and the two competitions have some crossover in the latter stages of the Immigration Cup, but the impact is not great, and the Portuguese team accepted the invitations of both competitions to recruit and continue to fight for the title.

The Immigration Cup has 16 teams, divided into four groups to play in the group stage, with two teams from each group, and then a knockout round after reaching the quarterfinals to determine the champion.

The Portuguese team has just won the national championship of Caboris, the morale is strong, full of confidence, and the strength is not weak, they have passed all the way, won the group, and defeated the French immigration team and the Romanian immigration team to reach the final, but the final will face the largest number of Portuguese immigrants, the strongest Brazilian immigration team, and the hope of the Portuguese Chinese team winning the championship is extremely slim.

By the time he defeated Romanian Immigrants to reach the final of the Immigration Cup, Gao Xiaodong had already played in all six group games and four knockout games, scoring 23 goals in 10 games, and was the second scorer in the Cup, second only to Brazilian Immigrants striker Fabi who scored 25 goals.

After entering the knockout round, Gao Xiaodong played two more Lisbon City League games, and before the final against the Brazilian immigration team, Gao Xiaodong was only one game away from being promoted to the amateur S-class.

This made Gao Xiaodong very annoyed, so he encouraged Chen Qiang to contact the team to play a warm-up game, but Chen Qiang and the players of the Portuguese Chinese team firmly disagreed, they are now fighting on two fronts, and their physical fitness is now almost overdrawn, and most of the substitutes were on the bench in the last Lisbon league, if you play a warm-up game again, then you don't have to play the final again.

This is the actual situation, and Gao Xiaodong can't force the whole team to play a meaningless warm-up game.

There will be two games to be played in the final of the Immigration Cup, and the Portuguese Chinese team will play at home first.

Less than two months after the last championship, the Portuguese Chinese team entered the fifth league and once again hit the Immigration Cup championship, which was a huge stimulus to the Portuguese Chinese circle.

In Portugal, Brazil and South America have always been the talent pool of Portuguese football, and the Immigration Cup has also attracted the attention of scouts from Portuguese teams at all levels, who hope to dig out the missing talent, this situation is not unexpected, such as the current Portuguese Liga Madimo striker Oliveira was unearthed from the Immigration Cup, and now he has been eyed by Sporting Lisbon in the Portuguese Super League, and is very promising to enter the Portuguese Super League next season.

Therefore, on the day of the Immigration Cup, there were about forty or fifty scouts and twenty or thirty reporters outside the stadium, including Li Xiang, a reporter from Sports Weekly.

More than 2,000 fans came to the stadium, which is almost as large as the number of spectators in a fourth-division league game.

With so many fans watching, as well as the Chinese ambassador and many celebrities in the Chinese circle, as well as so many scouts and journalists, and the opponent is a strong Brazilian immigrant team, the players of the Portuguese Chinese team are nervous and excited, and the game is completely out of order, and in the first three minutes of the game, the opponent's quick pressing error was scored by the striker Fabi Hang.

Ten minutes later, the Brazilian Immigration team scored another goal, and after a two-goal lead, the game turned into a stage for the Brazilians to perform, constantly showing off their individual skills and teamwork, and playing with the players of the Portuguese Chinese team.

The Portuguese team is not a team of young people, nor is it a team of pure amateur players, their players are retired professional and semi-professional players, and they adjust psychologically quickly, and when the Brazilian team improvises, they shrink the formation, try to avoid conceding more goals, and at the same time wait for the opportunity to play the counter-attack of the Brazilian team.

Brazil did not seize the opportunity to defeat the Portuguese team, and when they had enough, they found that the time was running out until the end of the game, and their match with the Portuguese team was still 2:0, which was not enough to lock the championship, so the Brazilian team attacked with all their might, trying to score a few more goals in the last time.

Due to the poor performance of the Portuguese Chinese team in front, they thought that the goal was like a probe for something, but they did not expect that when they attacked in a big way, the Portuguese Chinese team seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack, and the defender found Gao Xiaodong with a long pass.

The defender of the Brazilian immigration team was clever when he was competing with Gao Xiaodong, he saw that he was not in a good position as Gao Xiaodong, and he couldn't squeeze Gao Xiaodong, so he leaned on Gao Xiaodong with his body, and at the same time pulled Gao Xiaodong's jersey down with one hand.

didn't expect Gao Xiaodong to have too much strength, his leaning and pulling didn't work, Gao Xiaodong jumped up to grab the header, and the deliberate collision that fell also knocked the Brazilian defender dizzy.

Waiting for the Brazilian defenders to chase again, Gao Xiaodong had already reached the front of the penalty area and broke through the door of the Brazilian immigration team with a rolling ball.

This ball excited the Chinese fans who had been aggrieved for almost the whole game, and they cheered for Gao Xiaodong frantically, and even Ambassador Zhang couldn't help but ask the people next to him who this fat man was.

Many scouts from Portuguese C and fourth-tier teams heard that this fat man was only 17 years old, and they all pointed their cameras at Gao Xiaodong, thinking that this Chinese player was a bit interesting, and maybe there were development prospects.

However, more scouts are targeting Brazilian striker Fabi, who has scored 26 goals, and many believe that the 24-year-old has a chance to become a second Oliveira.

Although the score of 2:1 was also very unfavorable, the Portuguese Chinese team maintained a little suspense of winning the championship after all, and in the remaining time, the Portuguese Chinese team contracted their defense and tried to keep the score.

But the level of the football kingdom is really high, even if it is an amateur player, there are no longer a few people with excellent footwork, the Portuguese Chinese team's stubborn defense did not play a role, five minutes before the game, Brazilian striker Fabi scored directly with a free kick, locking the score at 3:1.

This score almost killed the suspense of the championship, the players and fans of the Portuguese Chinese team were very sad, and the Chinese celebrities led by Ambassador Zhang were also very sorry, the Portuguese Chinese team played well, but unfortunately the opponent was too strong. But it's not without exceptions, the only person who is happy is Gao Xiaodong, because he has been upgraded.
