As last season's top scorer, Gao Xiaodong also came to the scene, accompanied by his agent Mendes and Mendes' two assistants.
Gao Xiaodong is undoubtedly the focus of today, as soon as he entered the door, Gao Xiaodong, who was dressed in a straight suit, was surrounded by a group of reporters, and the coquettish beautiful reporter Anna almost stuffed the microphone into Gao Xiaodong's mouth.
"Congratulations Xiaodong, tell me how it feels to participate in the award ceremony. β
"Congratulations, you won three awards today. β
"Tell us how you felt back in Porto?"
β¦β¦
In the face of reporters, Mendes is very experienced, and he and two assistants escorted Gao Xiaodong to walk in the conference hall.
"I'll interview later, what is there to say about the interview now. The award ceremony will start soon, so wait a minute. β
With that, Mendez and his assistant hugged Gao Xiaodong into the conference hall.
Gao Xiaodong sat down in the seats of the winners in the first row, and Mendez sat behind him.
After Gao Xiaodong sat down, he found that the person sitting next to him was Rio Ave's head coach Petic, Rio Ave and Lexos competed for a promotion place that year, and finally lost to Lexos, and the head coach Petic also made a bet with Gao Xiaodong.
Seeing Gao Xiaodong Petic was very surprised and embarrassed, but this season he has led Rio Ave to the Portuguese Super League, he is happy, and Gao Xiaodong is now the number one person in European football, and there is no shame in apologizing, Petic immediately said: "Gao, at that time, we bet, if you can gain a foothold in the Portuguese Super League, I apologize to you, and now I officially apologize to you." β
Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "What did you say, I forgot, let's go over the past, today we are happy." β
Petic said embarrassedly: "Thank you, Gao, the other bet on you to play in the five major leagues has also been canceled, I don't have 200,000 euros for you." β
Gao Xiaodong laughed and said: "It's just a joke, can you take it seriously? Coach Petic, congratulations on taking Rio Ave to the Portuguese Super League and winning the best coach in the Portuguese League." β
Petic hurriedly said: "Thank you, thank you." β
At this time, a player not far from Petic shouted: "Fatty, you are here too." β
Gao Xiaodong saw that it was Lexus goalkeeper Beto, and Beto was surrounded by Zener and Oliveira, Gao Xiaodong hurriedly went over to hug and greet them.
After a while, the award ceremony began, starting with the award of the best referee, and the best referees of the Portuguese Liga and Portuguese Super League, Miranda and Artur, stepped forward to accept the award.
Then there is the fair play award, GuimarΓ£es in the Portuguese Super League and Gil Vicente in the Portuguese Liga.
Then there was the best coach, Oliveira in the Portuguese Super League and Petic in the Portuguese Liga, and the two coaches also gave their acceptance speeches.
This was followed by the Best Goalkeeper and Player of the Year awards, which were won by Rexos' Beto and Zina, and Rio Ave's Victor and Norman.
In the end, the best scorer and the best rookie were awarded, the top scorer and the best rookie in the Portuguese league were two people, and Gao Xiaodong was alone in the Portuguese Super League, in order to save time, Gao Xiaodong was waiting for the next award on the stage after receiving the top scorer award, and after the best scorer and best rookie awards were over, Gao Xiaodong then took over the trophy for the best goal from the hands of the chairman Madayl, and he won the best goal of the year with a sideways volley from Sporting Lisbon.
"This is the first time that the best rookie top scorer and best goal award have been combined in one, so let's give a warm round of applause...... Small...... Winter!"
The scene burst into applause, and the reporter's camera and video camera snapped at Gao Xiaodong non-stop, not knowing how much film was wasted.
Then Gao Xiaodong gave an acceptance speech, Gao Xiaodong didn't take the draft, he had already memorized the draft, just a few words, "First of all, thank you to my teammates, coaches and fans in Lexos, without their help, I couldn't have received these honors." Secondly, I would like to thank my parents, without their support, it would have been difficult for me to stay here, and finally, I would say that these individual accolades are secondary, I think the championship is the most important thing, and next season, I hope to get more championships! β
Gao Xiaodong's speech was very concise, without so much nonsense, but won more applause than the players in front of him.
After the award ceremony, the reporters came to interview Gao Xiaodong again, this time Mendes gave the reporters a chance, but after the reporter asked 4 questions, Mendes and his assistant immediately hugged Gao Xiaodong and left.
Anna remembers shouting in the back: "Gao Xiaodong, you still owe me an exclusive interview, you remember." β
After getting into the car, Mendes smiled and said, "How does it feel to win the award?"
Gao Xiaodong said: "It's nothing, it's not as excited as when you won the championship." β
Mendes smiled and said, "How is it feeling to be in Porto?"
Gao Xiaodong frowned and said, "It's not good, the locker room is too complicated." β
Mendes twisted his chin and smiled: "There is nothing uncomplicated in the dressing room of the giants, because the giants are all stars, all geniuses, geniuses, of course, they are all personalities." β
Gao Xiaodong said: "How's the transfer going?"
Mendes groaned for a while and said: "Your transfer situation is not optimistic, Porto's asking price of 30 million is too high, and your request Jose is also difficult to accept, now Inter Milan is in contact with Muntari and Mancini Jr., both of them have a price of no more than fifteen million euros, a midfielder and a forward, both are in their playing years, buying these two is definitely more cost-effective than buying you." β
Gao Xiaodong sighed and said, "What about Manchester United?"
Mendes said: "Real Madrid are looking to buy Ronaldo, and now Coach Alex Ferguson has no mind to think about anything else, they are only busy keeping Ronaldo. Arsenal are looking to buy the French talent Nasri, who will not cost more than 20 million, so if this transfer will be spent, Coach Wenger will never spend 30 million to buy you. β
Gao Xiaodong said: "Even if the professor can't buy Nasri, he will definitely not spend 30 million euros to buy me, in fact, I have little hope of entering a wealthy family." β
Mendes said: "I can't say that, the transfer window is not closed, everything is possible, your asking price is high, maybe it will not be finalized until the last moment, but I think it is difficult for you to stand on the giants of the five major leagues, if you really want to go to the five major leagues, you might as well consider the middle and lower teams, familiarize yourself, and then go to the giants." β
Gao Xiaodong said: "If you can't go to the giants, forget it, I'll stay in Porto to play in the Portuguese Super League and wait for next season." β
Mendes said: "You don't have to worry about the transfer thing, train hard in Porto, play hard, try to improve your skills, the two months in the transfer market, the treacherous part of the clouds is better than the 90 minutes in the stadium, until the last moment, many transfers are not easy to say success or failure." β
Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "I'm not in a hurry, anyway, it's not like there is no game." β
Mendez said, "That's good. β
After talking about the transfer, Mendes told Gao Xiaodong about some ways to gain a foothold in the factions, and after arriving in Porto, Mendes invited Gao Xiaodong to dinner before sending Gao Xiaodong back to the apartment.
