Chapter 393: Perfect Counterattack

After Gao Xiaodong discussed with his friends and agents, he contacted the Porto club again, and the president of the Porto club, Da Costa, realized the seriousness of the matter, and he could not participate in football affairs, so he asked the club's general manager Diogo and head coach Ferreira to personally accompany Gao Xiaodong to hold a press conference. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Diogo angrily said that Arsenal were engaged in psychological warfare and an attempt to influence the referee of the second leg, and that the UEFA refereeing committee should punish Arsene Wenger.

Ferreira is facing the biggest opportunity of his life, and he is not as steady as he used to be, he is very mean and claims that Wenger is angry and can't afford to lose, otherwise the Premier League team is much rougher than Porto, why has he never attacked so much.

Ferreira also said, "Athletic matches are only about winning and losing, we are not responsible for beauty, and Porto vs Arsenal, our fans will not ask for such high demands. ā€

Gao Xiaodong refuted Wenger's attack in turn at the press conference, "First, I haven't injured anyone since I participated in the professional league, Arsenal's players have broken legs, and there are many injuries, but we have played three games with Porto, and none of Arsenal's players have been injured because of our fouls.

Secondly, all my movements are within the scope of the rules, I have not received any encouragement from the referee, I am a person who follows the rules of the court.

Thirdly, on the contrary, I think that Professor Wenger is asking the referee to give Arsenal protection outside of the rules, and I think that every player on the pitch is equal and cannot be protected just because a team is playing fancy. Arsenal have the ability to beat us on the pitch and not make small moves off the pitch. ā€œ

Gao Xiaodong's every word has been carefully discussed with Zhang Liang, Chen Qiang, Monkey and others, and the counterattack is not sharp, but their influence is too small, and other media are unwilling to report and reprint, and few fans are willing to see what Porto and Gao Xiaodong said, and this counterattack has not changed much to Gao Xiaodong's situation.

On the third day, though, Mendes made a move.

Mendes, the first agent in Europe, held a press conference to stand up for his new star Gao Xiaodong, "I noticed him when Gao Xiaodong played an amateur game, and then I have been paying attention to his growth, Gao Xiaodong is very smart on the court, his ball skills are not good, but he instinctively knows how to use the rules to help the team win, he has never injured any player since his debut, but has been violated by a lot of players, fortunately, God forbid, he has not been seriously injured." There may be many people who don't like him, saying that he plays lewdly, but he is definitely not dirty or rude when he plays, and Wenger's criticism of Xiaodong is too much, and even loses the dignity of a giant club. ā€

Mendes took the lead, and Mendes's stars and his affiliates and friends also spoke out in support of Gao Xiaodong.

No one would have imagined that it would be Manchester United coach Alex Ferguson who took the lead in speaking out for Gao Xiaodong.

Whether it's because of the relationship with Mendes, or Porto who doesn't want to eliminate Manchester United to be eliminated by Arsenal, in short, Ferguson supports Gao Xiaodong: Porto can draw 2:2 with Manchester United away, Arsenal is not ugly to lose 0:1, a giant club, and the leader of the second-rate league is embarrassed to use foul rudeness as an excuse. The Portuguese are also Latin played.

Mourinho not only has a deep relationship with Mendes and Porto, but also Wenger's sworn enemy, and at this time he must be the first to stand up for Gao Xiaodong and attack Wenger: "Some people can't bear to lose, once they lose, they will make all kinds of excuses, and they are defeated by Porto 3:0 in the group stage, and they are embarrassed to say that fouls are obscene and violate sportsmanship? I think Gao Xiaodong is very good, in line with the spirit of competitive sportsmanship, that is, to put victory first." ā€œ

Former Chelsea and Portugal manager Scolari, who is also a client of Mendes, also supported Gao Xiaodong, saying: "I don't see anything to criticise Gao Xiaodong, he is a rising star with a lot of potential, smart and powerful. ā€œ

Former Porto star Deco also publicly defended Gao Xiaodong: "Fouls are part of football, as long as they are within the rules, they are allowed, if you think that the opponent benefits from the rules, then you should also apply to change the rules, instead of attacking players, Gao Xiaodong is the most potential player in the history of Porto, he has grown up quickly this year, and he has become popular rapidly, but he is only 19 years old, he is still a child, I hope the media will not attack him with malice." ā€œ

Real Madrid defender Pepe said: "Gao Xiaodong plays dirty? It's a joke, Portugal and Spain are one of the representatives of Latin football in Europe, and the Premier League team is embarrassed to say that the Portuguese team is dirty." ā€œ

Subsequently, in addition to the World Footballer Cristiano Ronaldo, Mendes' Carvalho, Nani, Anderson, Maniche, Oliveira, Marquis, Quaresma and other players have supported Porto and Gao Xiaodong in the print, TV and online media, and many supporters have formed a huge torrent of public opinion, and the paper media and the Internet have formed a confrontation between the two kinds of public opinion and two kinds of fans who support Gao Xiaodong and Black Gao Xiaodong, and support Porto and Black Porto.

Obviously, this situation did not satisfy Mendes, and then he personally approached Cristiano Ronaldo and persuaded Ronaldo to speak out in support of Gao Xiaodong and Porto.

Although Ronaldo doesn't like Gao Xiaodong and was eliminated by Gao Xiaodong in the quarterfinals, he can't help but sell Mendes's face, so when the voices supporting Gao Xiaodong and Hei Gao Xiaodong were deadlocked, Ronaldo told reporters that although he hates Gao Xiaodong's obscene way of kicking, Gao Xiaodong's kicking action is not barbaric, and he rarely talks trash talk, so he is not a villain.

What made Mendes and others unexpectedly was that the football king Maradona also expressed his support for Gao Xiaodong, "I watched Gao Xiaodong's game, playing football is a bit like me, not as hypocritical as some people, competitive football is to see who can win, what's the point of chirping and crooking others, UEFA doesn't want Porto to enter the final, so let Arsenal beat Porto in a dignified manner, don't make small moves." ā€œ

Ronaldo, as the most popular superstar now, is worth a hundred sentences for ordinary players, Maradona doesn't know why he supports Gao Xiaodong, but the weight of the old horse, who has been retired for so many years, is no worse than Ronaldo.

The speeches of Maradona and Ronaldo, the world footballer, are like torrents, and they have reversed public opinion in one fell swoop in a very short period of time, and the paper media and the Internet are still criticizing Gao Xiaodong on the second day after the game, and the vast majority of the media immediately changed their faces after the third day, overturning yesterday's criticism of Gao Xiaodong's words, and replacing them with the voices of these stars supporting Gao Xiaodong and criticizing Wenger.

The image crisis caused by Wenger's attack was finally perfectly solved under Mendes's shot, but Gao Xiaodong also deeply realized how passive it is to have no influence and fame, and from this time on, he began to consciously let Monkey and Xiao Le help run Twitter and Facebook, in order to have more fans and increase his influence.

However, this crisis also has an advantage, that is, because of the words of the football king Maradona, Gao Xiaodong is very similar to me, and Gao Xiaodong's nickname of "Huaguo Maradona" has also been confirmed from this time.
