Chapter 234: Climbing to the Top and Being Embarrassed
After the 29th round of the league, the four-year-long Golden Whistle case was finally decided. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
There was no surprise, no joy, and the same as the rumors.
Would-be giants Boavista suffered the heaviest penalty and were ordered to be relegated outright, only playing in the Portuguese league next season, and having to pay a fine of 180,000 euros. Club president Joao Lloreiro has been banned from any football-related matters for four years and has to pay a fine of 25,000 euros.
Porto were a surprise escape, losing just six points and paying a €150,000 fine, as Porto dropped the top spot as they were five points ahead of second-placed Rexos and 16 points ahead of third-place Porto to still qualify for next season's Champions League.
Porto president Da Costa also received a minor penalty, with a two-year ban and a fine of 10,000 euros, which is just a drop in the bucket for the billionaire.
The Leiria team, which was already ironclad relegated, was deducted three points and fined 4,000 euros. Leiria president Bartolomeu has been banned for one year and fined 40,000 euros. The decision was almost the same as a non-penalty for Leiria.
International referees Ploka, Duvalt, and Pashan were sentenced to one year in prison and banned for three years for accepting bribes to manipulate matches, while national referees Santos, assistant referees Silitto, Cuadrado, and Silva were banned for two years.
Although there have been a lot of rumors before, after the verdict came out, the whole of Europe was still shaken, and the media regarded the Golden Whistle case as the second phonegate incident, believing that it would have a profound impact on the pattern of the Portuguese league.
Due to Lexos' miraculous rise and climb to the top of the table due to Porto's penalty points, and a high chance of winning the league title, many media believe that Lexos could replace Boavista as the fourth biggest club.
Although Lexus will play sixth in the league in the final round Maritimo, no one thinks Maritimo can stop Lexus from winning the title, and even the pro-Porto media believe that Porto's hopes of winning the title are no more than 30%.
The three major bookmakers in Europe all give Lexus odds to win the championship below 1 to 1.5, while Porto is more than 1 to 3, which shows how favored Ressos is.
On the forum, the scolding between Porto fans and Lexos fans also had a hint of derby.
Porto fans believe that this golden whistle case is that Portugal's anti-Porto forces want to engage in Porto, and Lexus relied on Porto's penalty points to reach the top, and it is not glorious to win the championship.
Rhexos believes that Porto bribed the referee, manipulated the game, and the penalty points are light, and should be relegated, such a team does not deserve to win the championship.
In Europe, fans are hotly discussing whether Rexos can become the Kaiserslautern of the Portuguese Super League and stage a miracle of promotion, while in China, this is not the hottest topic, the hottest topic is Gao Xiaodong said in an interview with the Football Association: "Can I scold people?"
In China, the Football Association and the national football team have long been scolded by fans, but there is really no public scolding in front of the media, and Gao Xiaodong's words have become a popular phrase among Chinese fans overnight.
As long as someone talks about the national football team and Chinese football, there will definitely be someone who says: "Don't mention the national football team, I don't want to scold people." "Gao Xiaodong can't enter the National Olympics and the national football team, what else can I say except scold?" "Except for the three in the five major leagues, who can find someone better than the fat man, I won't scold." ”
Before the match between Lexos and Porto, there was a high demand in China for Gao Xiaodong to enter the National Olympics, but the Football Association also held a special meeting on this matter.
At the meeting, most people thought that Gao Xiaodong's strength could definitely enter the National Olympics and the national team, but Gao Xiaodong was also a thorn in the head, not easy to discipline, and was expelled by the Football Association for beating the team leader when he was a star of hope.
Chairman Long of the Football Association hoped that Gao Xiaodong could make a gesture, give the Football Association a step, and then recruit him into the National Olympic team, but he didn't expect Gao Xiaodong to directly provoke the Football Association after scoring a hat trick to defeat Porto.
Now the Football Association is embarrassed, if Gao Xiaodong is recruited into the National Olympic team at this time, then the face will be lost, if Gao Xiaodong is not recruited into the National Olympic Games, with Gao Xiaodong's super performance in the Portuguese Super League, the national fans will not agree.
Gao Xiaodong's incident at the press conference made Chen Qiang very annoyed.
During this time, Chen Qiang has been running around in China for Gao Xiaodong's entry into the National Olympics, and it is easy to have a little eyebrows, Chen Qiang is ready to visit the vice chairman of the sheep in person, accommodating, Gao Xiaodong's shot, Chen Qiang, who is familiar with the rules of Chinese officialdom, knows that it is difficult for Gao Xiaodong to enter the National Olympics.
Although Gao Xiaodong's entry into the National Olympics is expected, public opinion and the face of officials are not fart, Gao Xiaodong does not give face to the Football Association, and the Football Association would rather risk the world's condemnation than let Gao Xiaodong enter the National Olympics and the national team.
Chen Qiang is responsible for Gao Xiaodong's domestic affairs in China, and whether Gao Xiaodong can enter the national team has a great impact on Gao Xiaodong's fame and status, so Chen Qiang wants to have a good talk with Gao Xiaodong.
But on the day of the game, Gao Xiaodong and his teammates in the club played almost all night, Chen Qiang had no chance, the next day, Gao Xiaodong and Yang Fan had a holiday in the morning, Chen Qiang called Gao Xiaodong to his bedroom, and said: "Xiaodong, don't you want to enter the National Olympic team?"
Gao Xiaodong said in surprise: "Brother Chen, why do you say that." ”
Chen Qiang said: "If you want to enter the national Olympic team, why did you say that in an interview yesterday." ”
Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "Brother Chen, what can you say I can say, whether I force Zhuo Dongfang to be strong or not, I dare not say, but I must be stronger than Zhang Chi, why did the Football Association not recruit me, but recruited Zhang Chi, this is not because I was expelled from the Star of Hope, and now I am recruited back, my face is not good-looking, so I am suppressed." ”
Chen Qiang smiled bitterly: "This is also one of the reasons, in fact, as long as you give the Football Association a face, the Football Association will already recruit you." ”
Gao Xiaodong sneered and said, "Why do they have face, but I don't have face?"
Chen Qiang said: "But in this way, you have a breath and face, but the National Olympic team can't get in." ”
Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "If you can't get in, you won't enter, at the level of the National Olympics, if you enter, you may be embarrassed at the door of your home." I only know that there is a threshold for selling the state, ordinary people can't sell it, especially now that there is a threshold for patriotism, it doesn't matter that there is no way, and there is no way to be patriotic. ”
Chen Qiang said that he couldn't move Gao Xiaodong, so he could only give up, and said: "Since you don't want to bow your head, then you have to play hard in Europe and win the Portuguese Super League championship, the better your performance, the greater the pressure on the Football Association, if you can enter the five major leagues, maybe the Football Association will bow to you." ”
Gao Xiaodong said: "The five major leagues are not so easy, and you can't play if you go." ”
Chen Qiang said: "Then where are you going next season, back to Porto?"
Gao Xiaodong said: "I haven't thought about it yet, let's talk about it after the last game." ”
Chen Qiang said: "If you want to go back to Porto, help Yang Fan, he came to Porto to hope to take your place in Lexos." ”
"Playing Porto, it was Yang Fan who helped me and the team, and in the next game, on the premise of not affecting the victory, I will help him score a goal or assist or something. ”
Gao Xiaodong is very grateful to Yang Fan, before Yang Fan came on the field, in order to score goals, he had already prepared the idea of using all his points to buy shooting skills, after Yang Fan gave him an assist, he was equivalent to saving more than 20 points, and points were the lifeblood for Gao Xiaodong.
Chen Qiang said with a smile: "Yang Fan helped the team to save himself, I watched it on the Internet, just because of the assist he gave you, Lexos fans' impression of him has changed greatly." ”
Gao Xiaodong smiled: "The coach and teammates have also changed their views on him, which is a good momentum, I hope he can persevere." ”
Chen Qiang said: "Yes, I hope he can persevere, and there will be a few more newcomers like you, and there will be hope for Huaguo's football." ”
Gao Xiaodong sighed and said, "Brother Chen, can you not mention this stubble, it's troublesome." ”
At this time, Xiao Le's voice shouting for dinner came from outside, and Chen Qiang smiled and said: "Don't mention it, don't mention it, go to dinner, you still have to train in the afternoon." ”
"Hmm. Gao Xiaodong opened the bedroom door and went to eat with Chen Qiang.
