Chapter 69: Sweet and Sweet
Out of Costa's house, just when Carlos and Pere were discussing how to find Gao Xiaodong outside, Mendes also came out of Costa's house, walked up to them, and smiled: "I also want to see this Gao Xiaodong, I'll go with you, I just asked Andrews, Gao Xiaodong lives in the training base of the Portuguese Chinese team on the outskirts of Lisbon." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Mendes is also a legend in Portugal, in his early years, he was a third-rate player who mixed up in La Liga and Portugal, sold video tapes after retiring, later opened a discotheque, and then involved in the sale of football players, with the help of football boss Costa, after ten years of development, Mendes is now one of the most influential agents in Portuguese and world football.
"Ahh ”
Mendes is energetic and good at interacting with people, and with him to go to Gao Xiaodong together, the success rate is definitely much higher, and Carlos and Pereira are very happy and grateful.
"But we have to find a Chinese translator first. ”
Although Mendes knew several languages, he didn't know anything about Chinese, and there was no Chinese translator in his company, so Mendes asked someone to find a Chinese translator at the University of Lisbon, and they rushed to the training base of the Portuguese Chinese team in Mendes's Bentley luxury car.
While Mendes, Carlos and Pereira were looking for translators, Boavista's scouts had already arrived at the Portuguese team's training base.
At this time, the players of the Portuguese Chinese team sent off the fans and went out for a celebratory drink, and only the players of the hope star in the base trained under the leadership of Scaloni.
Simon glanced at the stadium, it was all Chinese, only one Portuguese, he didn't understand Chinese, so he went to talk to Scaloni.
They are all mixed in Portuguese football, Simon and Scaloni are also familiar, seeing Scaloni, he was surprised and said: "You seem to be in Benfica......'s youth team, right?
Scaloni smiled: "Yes, my name is Scaloni, I used to be in the Benfica youth team, and now I am the head coach of Huaguo Hope Star, you seem to be Boavista?"
Simon said: "Yes, I'm Simon, the scout of Boavista, and today I'm looking for a Gao Xiaodong who plays in the Portuguese Chinese team, is he here?"
The players of the Hope Star have Portuguese lessons every day in the club, and now they can understand some basic Portuguese, and they are a little surprised to hear that Boavista's scouts came to Gao Xiaodong, which is much more shocking than the Chinese fans who just came to Gao Xiaodong to sign autographs, this is a professional scout, or a scout of Boavista of the Portuguese Super League, what is he looking for Gao Xiaodong for?
Yang Fan looked at the envy, jealousy and hatred of his teammates, a little funny, and said: "The fat man is going to be developed, and some people will be ugly." ”
Just now, many fans went to Gao Xiaodong for autographs, and the team leader Li Sheng was very unhappy, listening to Yang Fan's words with sarcasm in his words, he was even more angry, and said: "What do you say, train! Porto's scouts don't also fancy Gao Xiaodong, Porto doesn't want him, play an amateur game, win an amateur championship, and return five people to six, just like really becoming a star, I don't feel ashamed." ”
Yang Fan sneered, didn't speak, and said in his heart, you drove Gao Xiaodong away, in case Gao Xiaodong was chosen by Boavista, you would be embarrassed.
Gao Xiaodong? It's him again!" Scaloni said, "Here, but they're going to eat." ”
Simon was a little disappointed, but he still smiled and said, "Coach Scaloni, you are busy, I'll wait here for a while." ”
Scaloni couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that Simon didn't leave, but waited for Gao Xiaodong here, this Gao Xiaodong was not small.
Scaloni continued to train with the players of the Hopes, with the scouts of Boavista watching, and the players of the Hopefuls were very positive, especially the players who played in Portugal C and Portugal B, and he hoped that Simon would take a fancy to him and bring himself from the lower leagues to Boavista in the Portuguese Super League.
But Simon is not interested in these players, like the stars of hope, the skills of these players, Europe, Africa, and South America are more, and the awareness is much better than them, especially they lack the strong body of European and American players, and Gao Xiaodong is an exception, the technique is good, the consciousness is good, the body is better, if you can turn the fat on your body into muscles, the picture is too beautiful, you can't look at it directly.
After waiting for more than an hour, Gao Xiaodong and Xiao Le came back in Chen Qiang's Audi A6.
Yang Fan hurriedly said to Gao Xiaodong: "Fatty, someone is looking for you, Boa Vista's scout." ”
At this time, Simon also recognized Gao Xiaodong who got out of the car, he walked over quickly, and said, "Hello, Gao Xiaodong, I'm Simon, a scout from Boavista." ”
Xiao Le translated it for Gao Xiaodong, Gao Xiaodong was surprised and delighted, finally there is someone who knows the goods, I need to play a professional game, and the scouts from Boavista came to send pillows, haha, is this to invite me to the Portuguese Super League? Of course, this is not the place to talk, Gao Xiaodong said: "Hello Mr. Simon, go to my dormitory to talk." ”
Just won the amateur championship and stepped on the peak of his life, Chen Qiang drank almost a pound of port wine, he heard Gao Xiaodong say to go to the dormitory, and said with a hard tongue: "How do you receive distinguished guests in your dormitory, go to my office to talk." ”
Gao Xiaodong thought that his dormitory was too small, and there was only one sofa, so he said, "It's okay, thank you Mr. Chen." ”
Chen Qiang hugged Gao Xiaodong's shoulders and said, "What are you talking about, you are my good brother Chen Qiang, and what is mine is yours, don't call me Mr. Chen in the future, just call me Brother Chen." ”
What's yours is mine? Forget it, daughter-in-law, so old, it's hard to start. Gao Xiaodong was pondering with a smile: "This, okay, I'll call you Brother Chen." Then he said to Simon, "Mr. Simon, go this way." ”
Gao Xiaodong, Chen Qiang, and Xiao Le took Simon to the manager's office on the second floor.
……
When Carlos, Andreas Pereira and Mendes arrived at the Portuguese team's training base, the Hopefuls were training under Scaloni. Seeing a Bentley driving over, everyone was surprised, this is the suburbs, the junction of urban and rural areas, there was a Bentley.
"This is a Bentley. ”
"Whose big guy's car is this?"
"Who are you looking for? It can't be that the big boss is taking a fancy to you. ”
"It's possible to find a head coach. ”
……
When everyone was talking, Scaloni recognized Mendes who came out of Bentley at a glance, this is a hot figure in Portuguese football, how could he come here, there are all Chinese here, is he looking for me? can only look for me, Scaloni hurried over to greet me warmly, "Mr. Mendes, are you looking for me?"
Mendes also knew Scaloni, but there was a big difference in status between the two, and he said lightly: "No, I'm here to find Mr. Gao Xiaodong, does he live here?"
"Oh, Gao Xiaodong is in the apartment, why are you looking for him too?" Scaloni heard that he was looking for Gao Xiaodong again, a little embarrassed, and a little puzzled, didn't this Gao Xiaodong just win an immigration cup championship? Just now a Boavista scout looked for him, and now a big man like Mendes is also looking for him, why are so many people looking for him?
Mendesdo's shrewd man, when he heard what Scaloni said, asked, "Is anyone still looking for Gao Xiaodong?"
Scaloni said: "A Boavista scout has just approached him, and he hasn't left yet. ”
Carlos and Pereira were anxious when they heard that Boavista's scouts were looking for Gao Xiaodong, Boavista was Porto's sworn enemy in the same city, if they pulled Gao Xiaodong over, Chairman Costa would definitely be angry again, and they quickly said to Mendes: "Let's go up quickly." ”
"Good. ”
Mendes nodded at Scaloni and followed Carlos and Pereira into the sketchy apartment.
Looking at the backs of the three of them, Zhang Chi, the captain of the Hope Star, asked, "Coach, who was the person who spoke to you just now, and you were so polite to him." ”
Scaloni said: "Who? Jorge. Mendes, the agent of Mourinho and Cristiano Ronaldo, the most powerful man in Portuguese football, the man next to him, if I read it correctly, should be Carlos, the youth director of Porto. ”
"Wow!"
The Stars of Hope exploded.
"What earth-shattering things did Gao Xiaodong do?, Boavista's scouts looked for him, and now big names like Mendes and Carlos are also looking for him. ”
"Isn't Gao Xiaodong a waste material?"
"I heard that Xiao Dong's brave performance in the final of the Immigration Cup impressed many club scouts, and reporters interviewed him. ”
"So Gao Xiaodong is developed?"
Previously, everyone who wanted to know that Gao Xiaodong went to Porto for a trial knew that everyone was very surprised at the time, but they didn't expect that Portugal couldn't look down on the player, Porto actually gave him the opportunity to try, and thought that Gao Xiaodong really had any potential that everyone couldn't see?
Later, seeing that the trial was gone, Gao Xiaodong still lived in the training base of the Portuguese Chinese team, playing amateur games, and after a long time, everyone defaulted to Gao Xiaodong's failure in the trial. At this time, everyone thought that Gao Xiaodong was completely out of play, and the only thing waiting for him was the fate of returning to China, Gao Xiaodong's immigrant cup game was also considered by them to be an idle egg, so it was better to return to China as soon as possible to see if he could find a second-class team to mix money for two years.
No one could have imagined that in just over a month, Gao Xiaodong suddenly became the sweetheart of these bigwigs vying to visit, and the players of the Star of Hope were envious, jealous and hateful.
Head coach Scaloni is also puzzled and worried, is he looking away, this Gao Xiaodong is really a genius? No, I have to look for his video of the final of the Immigration Cup.
