After watching the video and listening to Andrews's introduction, Pereira said: "Mr. Andrews, I have always thought that you and Mr. Hansen are the best and most dedicated scouts in the world, and I respect your authority in this field, but please also listen to my opinion." ”

Andrews said: "Coach Pereira, you just have to say it. ”

Pereira said: " It is undeniable that this fat man has an extremely rare confrontation ability of Chinese people, he is very experienced in playing football, very smart, very good at using his physical advantages, he is only 17 years old, it is hard to believe, he will be so experienced in dealing with accidents on the field, in addition, I found that his skills are very comprehensive, although his position is a striker, when he returns to the midfield, he also deals with the problem very well, however, the problem is also very serious, he is born in the wild ball, the non-standard technical movements have been fixed, there are many bad habits, it is almost impossible to change at this age, the consciousness is not good, the speed of handling the ball is slow, the absolute speed is slow, too fat, too short, so many clubs don't choose him, it's certainly not for nothing, like Benfica, Real Sociedad, their youth training level is very high, so, I don't think such a player has any value in training, he is not capable of playing at the Portuguese level of the Portuguese league, give up. ”

Andrews said: "It's not easy to change, but it's not without amateur players like Klose and Franck Ribery, Pereira, I think he should be given a tryout. ”

Youth director Carlos hit the nail on the head: "It's very good in amateur and low-level competitions, but there is no potential, and the trial is not interesting. ”

If it was a stranger, such a talent, Andrews would have given up, but he promised Gao Xiaodong, and there was another point, Gao Xiaodong's miraculous progress also made him feel that the potential of this fat man was not as small as it seemed, and he defended Gao Xiaodong: " You think the Gao Xiaodong in the video is already very bad, in fact, there is an even worse Gao Xiaodong, when I first saw him play, he performed very badly, but in less than two months, he has improved by leaps and bounds, I think his potential may not be as simple as we see. ”

Perez smiled: "Andrews, I think you are a little influenced by Eastern mysticism. ”

Youth training director Carlos said to Hansen, who had been silent: "Hansen, your vision has always been unique, you can evaluate this fat man from China." ”

Hansen, who has sunken eye sockets and a piercing gaze that looks like an eagle, said in a slightly hoarse voice, "I think it's time to give him a tryout." ”

Carlos was stunned for a moment and said, "Hansen, you are also optimistic about him." "Hansen and Andrews are the best scouts in Porto and the world, and if Hansen is also optimistic about Gao Xiaodong, then he must give this Chinese a chance.

Hansen shook his head and said, "I don't think he's bullish on him, but I trust Andrews' vision." ”

Carlos was speechless, what is the answer, but thinking about it is just an opportunity for a trial, it doesn't matter, whether he can pass the trial, and the selection center will jointly review it, so he said: "In this case, let him come to the trial for a week, see his performance in the U17, and then make a decision." ”

Andrews breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Gao Xiaodong can come over for a trial, he can be worthy of Gao Xiaodong, as for whether Gao Xiaodong can stay, he can't be the master, Porto has its own set of standards and processes for recruiting and selecting players.

Coming out of the director's office, Andrews immediately called Gao Xiaodong and asked him to come to Porto for a trial tomorrow.

Gao Xiaodong saw that the phone number was Andrews's, and hurried to find Chen Qiang to translate, but Chen Qiang was not there, and happened to meet Xiao Le, Gao Xiaodong said: "Sister Xiaole, do you know Portuguese?"

Xiao Le said: "I understand a little. ”

Gao Xiaodong handed the mobile phone to Xiao Le and said, "Then you answer the phone and help me translate." ”

Although Xiao Le's Portuguese is average, his English is good, and Andrews took turns in two languages, and finally passed the meaning to Gao Xiaodong.

After hanging up the phone, she suddenly woke up to the fact that Gao Xiaodong was taken a fancy by Porto and called to go for a trial, she was pleasantly surprised, "Xiaodong, Porto let you go to the trial! Porto let you go to the trial!

Gao Xiaodong was very calm and said, "Sister Xiaole, it's just an opportunity for a trial." ”

Xiao Le said: "This is Porto, it's not an ordinary team, it's a giant, you have to grasp it, if you can sign Porto, it will definitely be a resounding slap in the face to them." ”

"Well, it's an opportunity. Gao Xiaodong is quite satisfied with this opportunity to try, after all, it is Porto, Andrews is just a scout, and it is impossible to sign him directly, unless he is the president of Porto.

"Prepare well and play a little better tomorrow. Xiao Le was very happy for Gao Xiaodong.

Gao Xiaodong suddenly thought of a question, he didn't know anything about English and Portuguese, how to find the youth training base in Porto, and how to communicate with others.

But he is the owner of the company and is also responsible for so many players of the Hope Star, Gao Xiaodong didn't dare to guarantee that he would have time to accompany him, so Gao Xiaodong said to Xiao Le: "Sister Xiaole, you will accompany me to Porto tomorrow, I don't know Portuguese, I'm afraid I won't find a place." ”

Now that there are two more staff members at the training base of the Portuguese Chinese team, Xiao Le is not as busy as before, so he said: "Okay, I will take a day off from Mr. Chen tomorrow, but if you want to play here, you should also make up for Portuguese and English, the language is not clear, you can't do anything." ”

Gao Xiaodong spread his hands and said: "I am now self-reliant, how can anyone give me tutoring language classes, and I don't have the money to hire a tutor." ”

Xiao Le thought about it: "This is really a troublesome thing, if you are in Lisbon, I can help you with tuition, but you went to Porto for a trial, I can't help you, but if you can sign a contract with Porto, the club should find you a language teacher." ”

Gao Xiaodong said: "It's hard to say whether I can pass the trial, I have no confidence now." ”

Xiao Le said: "Xiaodong, have confidence, I believe you will be able to, you are playing so well in the Portuguese team." ”

Gao Xiaodong smiled bitterly, "You are ball blind, this can't be compared at all, one is an amateur, and the other is a professional." ”

Xiao Le said: "Anyway, whether it is amateur or professional, confidence is needed. ”

Gao Xiaodong said: "That's right, Sister Xiaole, I drank your bowl of chicken soup." ”

"What chicken soup, what do you mean?"

"I don't understand, think about it, by the way, Sister Xiaole, don't tell others about going to the trial, so as not to be embarrassed. ”

Xiao Le smiled: "Well, I understand, passing is a surprise." ”

"Smart, I'm going to train and I'm going to Porto tomorrow. ”

"Go ahead. ”

Gao Xiaodong laughed and took the ball out for training.

Chen Qiang came back in the afternoon, Gao Xiaodong went to Chen Qiang's office and told him about going to Porto for a trial, Chen Qiang was very happy, after he came back from Porto, he also thought that Andrews was saying polite words, a player that Portugal can't look down on, how can a giant like Porto be seen, this is not scientific, I didn't expect that this thing really became true. It doesn't matter if you can sign a contract or not, just going to Porto for a trial is good news in China.

Gao Xiaodong also thought of this, and said to Chen Qiang: "Mr. Chen, don't tell others about this, this is still a matter of eight words." ”

"I understand, don't worry. "Chen Qiang doesn't want to expose it, there are many Chinese agents active in Portugal, Gao Xiaodong is a free agent, and he doesn't have an agent yet, Chen Qiang already sees him as his own person, for fear of being robbed, how can he make a statement in advance.

However, Chen Qiang thought of another question, if Gao Xiaodong passed the trial of Porto, how to play the amateur league, it is to compete for the league championship, if he misses this time, he doesn't know what time it will be next time. But Chen Qiang can't say this, Gao Xiaodong is facing a good opportunity related to his career, you are an amateur league champion and let people take time to help you, this is not a person who is selfish to the extreme.

Unexpectedly, Gao Xiaodong said: "Mr. Chen, I went to the trial, and I can't participate in the team's training, but the game can't be delayed, you must notify me when the time comes." ”

Chen Qiang listened, his heart was hot, this old gangster who had been in China and Europe for half his life was moved, this kid usually looks very slippery, but he only saw the essence at the critical moment, it is really a matter of righteousness and feelings, he hurriedly said: "How can it be done, this trial is a major event related to your life." ”

Gao Xiaodong said awe-inspiringly: "I have to help the team win this championship, Mr. Chen, you provide me with food and drink, and give me subsidies, I don't help you win the championship, I'm sorry for my conscience, you must not stop me, if you don't let me participate in the competition, I won't recognize you Mr. Chen." ”

Chen Qiang didn't know that Gao Xiaodong came back to play amateur games in order to upgrade to the S level, he was even more moved, patted his chest and said: "Okay, good brother, good fatty, you will be my Chen Qiang's brother in the future, as long as I Chen Qiang can do it, I will help you do it without saying a word." ”

Gao Xiaodong was speechless, at your age Chen Bald, you can be my uncle, and you actually call me a brother, isn't this taking advantage of me?
