Chapter 13: Boa Vista

The matter should have been resolved easily, but unexpectedly, Xiao Pan's request was rejected by Wong Tai Sin. The pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info argued for a long time to no avail, and Xiao Pan was angry, pointing at Wong Tai Sin's nose and scolding: "You don't have a heart, right?" ”

Huang Daxian glanced at him coldly and said, "I have already allocated the quota, so you don't mess around here." ”

Xiao Pan sneered: "Distribution? Collect the money and distribute it, right? Do you really think no one knows about your? ”

"So what?" Wong Tai Sin snorted.

"If you don't give me a reasonable explanation today, I'll give you no end!"

"Didn't I explain?"

After speaking, Wong Tai Sin turned his head and was about to leave, but was pulled by Xiao Pan. He stared at Xiao Pan, his eyes widened angrily, and he said, "Let go!" ”

At this time, Chen Jianhao, Chen Jinwu and Govia were standing not far away and watching. "You two are waiting for me here." Govia put aside the sentence and walked over.

"Okay." Chen Jinwu smiled and nodded at him, but Chen Jianhao asked on the side, "What did he say?" ”

Chen Jinwu looked at him helplessly and said, "He said that you can't even understand this sentence, and the previous class was in vain, right?" ”

Chen Jianhao was unhappy, but he could only argue: "He said it too fast. ”

"Then if I say it slowly, will you understand?"

Chen Jianhao had no choice but to pout, disarm and surrender.

Govia stepped forward and saw that the two of them were facing each other, so he asked Xiao Pan, "Xian'en, are you in any trouble?" After saying that, he said self-deprecatingly: "Hey, I'm still used to being called 'Pan'." ”

"Forget it, whatever you want. The **** raised, he can't be moved at all, so you should tell him. ”

After speaking, Xiao Pan turned to glare at Wong Tai Sin and said, "This is the head coach of Boavista, he wants to talk to you personally." ”

Wong Tai Sin became polite and greeted the other party in blunt Portuguese. Xiao Pan didn't bother to say more to him, turned around and left, but Huang Tai Sin hurriedly called out to him: "Don't go!" Translate for me! ”

"Huh? Do you need me too? Xiao Pan sneered and stopped.

Govia said bluntly: "Sir, I want those two players, let's go through the procedures for joining the team now." ”

After Xiao Pan's translation, Wong Tai Sin pretended to be sorry and said, "I'm sorry, the four places in your club have been allocated, and I will let them come to see you later." ”

"I heard from the partner that there are two places for each team to choose from, and I don't think I have authorized it to you, right?"

"Really? But none of you are familiar with the players, wouldn't it be better for us to recommend them directly? ”

"My friend has recommended two players for me and I believe him."

"He's just an amateur and his knowledge of football is only superficial, so I'd suggest he's going to follow our arrangement."

In the face of Wong Tai Sin's ridicule, Xiao Pan was naturally extremely unhappy, and he was about to scold when he opened his mouth. I thought about it but held back, and translated the original words very professionally.

Govia sank his face and directly said cruel words: "Let me tell you this, I want to decide on those two players." If you insist on refusing, our boss will complain to the partner and cancel the project. And my friend, the Chinese coach who accompanied the team, I chose him. After speaking, he raised his hand and put it on Xiao Pan's left shoulder, and smiled at Xiao Pan.

"Well done!" Poon gave a thumbs up to Govia and then relayed Wong Tai Sin. Wong Tai Sin had no idea for a while, and said hesitantly: "But ......"

"No, but!" Xiao Pan interrupted: "If you don't want to cause trouble, sign it for me quickly!" ”

The number of players allocated to the partner clubs is determined by the league level. Among them, there are six teams in the Portuguese Super League and the Portuguese First Division, with 3 players from each team; three Portuguese B teams, each with 4 players; There are two Portuguese C teams, each with 5 players. Boavista is a Portuguese second division team, which has secured four places.

In fact, many people in China think that these Chinese children are shoehorned in, but in fact, they are not. With Portugal's economic situation shrinking year after year, with unemployment above 8% for decades, most clubs are not in a good financial situation, with the exception of the top three. Although Portugal used to be one of the richest countries in the world, since the 90s of the last century, the economy has been stagnant, and there was a negative growth during the European debt crisis, so many internationally renowned economists are very unceremoniously saying that Portugal will become a developing country in ten years. Therefore, local football clubs are very happy to cooperate with Chinese in business, because this not only can make money, but also have an additional channel to obtain excellent youth training - the Chinese players sent out are generally under the age of 18, and the future is very malleable. What's more, the cost of food, clothing, housing and transportation does not need to be borne by the club, even if a player can't play, the club has no loss.

Boa Vista's 4 places had already been set by Wong Tai Sin, but at this time he could only bite the bullet and take out two of them. Xiao Pan stared at him throughout the whole process after signing the agreement between Chen Jianhao and Chen Jinwu to join the team, and when he left, he didn't forget to sarcastically say a few words to him.

This is the fourth floor of the hotel, room 402. Govia didn't understand Chinese and simply stood outside the door and waited. Less than five minutes later, Pan walked out excitedly, and Govia immediately asked, "Are the remaining two players coming with us?" ”

"Yes, I've got all four of them." Xiao Pan waved the folder in his hand and said, "Let's go now!" ”

Get off the elevator and come to the hotel lobby. Xiao Pan walked briskly while shouting at the crowd: "Chen Jianhao, Chen Jinwu, Wu Tianchang, Fang Jizhou, if you read your name, gather at the front desk of the hotel immediately!" ”

Govia followed in his footsteps and quipped, "Hey, it looks like you're the head coach and I'm the assistant." ”

Xiao Pan responded with a smile: "Don't make fun of me, I'm an 'amateur'." ”

Govia laughed and said, "I don't agree with that man. ”

A Volkswagen 5th generation Polo is driving on the road, except for the bright red body, everything else exudes a low-key and unpretentious atmosphere.

In the small space in the back seat, it was difficult to squeeze four young men. Govia and Xiao Pan were laughing in front of the discussion.

Chen Jianhao took out his mobile phone from his pocket with great effort. Since arriving, he has not yet informed his brothers of the "Chen Jianhao Internal Affairs Institute". But when he tried to open WeChat, he found that he couldn't connect to the mobile network, so he had to give up. He was squeezed so that his thighs were numb, so he complained to Xiao Pan: "Director Pan, why don't we take the bus?" Aren't they in charge of the pick-up? ”

"No kidding, one more minute with that Wong Tai Sin will double my nausea!"

The whole car laughed. Because he was a little afraid of life, Fang Jizhou, who didn't speak all the way, finally spoke up: "Very good, it seems that we all hate him." ”

"By the way, why do you call him Wong Tai Sin?"

"I'm grass! I've wanted to complain about this for a long time! Xiao Pan jumped exaggeratedly, causing a shock in the car, and then said: "His real name is Huang Xian, and I don't know why his father gave him such a name." Since I want to become an immortal so much, then I will fulfill him. ”

Govia listened silently as he drove. Even though he couldn't understand a word, it didn't stop him from laughing along with the others. He didn't want Xiao Pan to translate to himself, so as not to interrupt their communication. The team is now facing a serious financial crisis, everyone in the team is at risk, and promotion is far away, and he just wants to enjoy this rare and pleasant atmosphere.

The only title of Govia's playing days was when he played for Boavista. In fact, Boavista is one of Portugal's oldest powerhouses, famous in the history of Portuguese football, second only to the traditional top three. Anyone who knows a little about Portuguese football should be familiar with this team. With the exception of Bilaneises in 1946, the top flight has always been dominated by three major teams: Porto, Benfica and Sporting Lisbon. It wasn't until 2001 that Boavista overtook Porto by one point, ending the 54-year record of the three teams monopolizing the league title. It was also the team's first top-flight title since its inception. Since the 2002-2003 season, when the top league was changed from the Portuguese Ligue 1 to the Portuguese Super League, the annual title race has completely reduced to a two-man meeting between Benfica and Porto. Boavista have won the Portuguese Cup five times and are the only Portuguese team to have won the Copa de Portugal at all levels.

In the 2007-2008 season, Boavista was forced to be relegated to the first division due to match-fixing, which was the starting point of the team's decline.

It began in April 2004 when the Portuguese police launched a "Golden Whistle Operation" to investigate corruption in football. The four-year ****** was mainly aimed at counting the Portuguese Football Federation officials and the giants Porto, in which Boavista was largely implicated.

In the first round of investigations, the police raided about 60 homes, city halls and offices of sports organizations, including the country's football federation, and detained 16 people, including the head of the country's football league. In the second round of investigations, Porto was fined six points and 150,000 euros by the Portuguese Football Federation for bribing referees in the 2003-2004 Portuguese league, and the club's president, Costa, was banned from the football industry for two years. Ironically, however, this penalty decision did not prevent them from winning the Portuguese league title for the season.

At the same time, the Portuguese Football Federation accused Boavista and Reria of bribing referees and match-fixing. Boavista was convicted of match-fixing in three matches and received the heaviest penalty, relegation and a fine of 180,000 euros, and Álvaro JΓΊnior, then president of the club, was banned from the football industry for four years; Reria were deducted three points and fined €40,000 because of the poor results of the season and relegation was inevitable, so there were no further penalties.

In fact, Porto have benefited the most from match-fixing, but the punishment was the lightest. Boavista, however, has been in a catastrophe since then, on some "trumped-up" charges. In the 2008-2009 season, Boavista, who had been relegated to the first division, not only failed to return to the Super League, but instead fell deeper and deeper into the second division, sliding into a darker abyss.

The board of directors was tired of appealing the match-fixing incident, the team was in financial crisis, and the players changed hands repeatedly.
