Chapter 121 Little Fame
When Rio Avi and Rexos were fighting for the top of the table, Sporting Lisbon and Porto of the Portuguese Super League were also fighting for the top of the table.
The two games were played almost at the same time, and the fans and media must be focusing on the battle for the top spot in the Portuguese Super League. In addition to the lengthy reports by the local media in Rio Avi and Matosinho, even the professional black Gao Xiaodong's " Izvestia also only cared about the winning Sporting Lisbon, without mentioning the Portuguese League match.
Gao Xiaodong's wonderful performances in Rexos and Rio Avi were temporarily buried, and even the anecdote at the press conference did not attract much attention, but gold always shines. The battle between Lisbon and Porto has cooled down slightly. Gao Xiaodong He frequently appeared in the newspapers, especially the bet he made with Petic at the press conference became a joke in football.
In the match against the leader Rio Avi, as a defensive midfielder, Gao Xiaodong defended and Zener hardly gave Rio Avi any chance to shoot. He made a goal in the attack and scored the winning goal. Against a 18 For a 20-year-old boy, his performance was impeccable.
Even major newspapers such as "Morning Post", "Ball News" and "Record" said that Gao Xiaodong showed maturity and sophistication that did not match his age in this game, and he made up for it with wisdom and comprehensiveness. Lack of skill and dominated the game.
Dominating the game, this term is often used on the stars, so to praise Gao Xiaodong, is definitely an honor.
But as long as Heizi wants to be black, he can still find a reason.
After getting tired of playing Sporting Lisbon, "Izvestia" turned its head around and began to slander Xiaodong again.
Since Gao Xiaodong was impeccable technically, he had to find faults in his conduct.
Ronaldo's admirer and paranoid reporter Anna published an article criticizing Gao Xiaodong for playing football too dirty and with too many petty moves. Like Porto's defender Pepe, he is a villain on the court. Young fans will cause adverse effects, and call on the referee to increase the penalty standard for players like Gao Xiaodong.
Afterwards, many fans blindly followed suit on the Internet and began to criticize Gao Xiaodong for playing dirty, hoping that the referees would not tolerate players like Gao Xiaodong, and some extreme fans even demanded that Gao Xiaodong be kicked out of the Portuguese League.
Now Gao Xiaodong's performance has conquered the reporters of "North Porto Sports Daily". Xiaodong didn't hurt his opponent's moves. Small moves are normal on the court. Since the referee doesn't judge, it means that it is in compliance with the rules. Anna's criticism is unreasonable.
However, "North Porto Sports Daily" and "Porto Chinese Newspaper" are only regional tabloids after all, and their influence cannot be compared with "Izvestia". Their support is far from enough for Gao Xiaodong. At this time, "Record" finished reflecting on Porto's defeat, and freed up its hands to counterattack "Izvestia", and the angle of counterattack was well chosen. The reporter said that Gao Xiaodong and Robert used to have a feud. When Gao Xiaodong was playing forward, Robert had never passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong before, but Gao Xiaodong graciously passed a good ball to Robert in the match against Rio Avi. This shows that Gao Xiaodong is tolerant, honest and selfless, The team's interests are the most important thing. How can such a person have a problem with his morality?
Then Porto TV station also spoke for Gao Xiaodong. They broadcast Gao Xiaodong's defensive highlights on the court, proving that Gao Xiaodong is just a small trick, not a stadium butcher. This two-pronged approach has changed many Portuguese fans' bad impression of Gao Xiaodong. .
The comments from the media and the attacks from online fans did not have any impact on Gao Xiaodong. He did not have any commercial endorsements, which did not cause economic losses. Instead, Gao Xiaodong became more famous. After the battle with Rio Avi, plus It was publicized in the media that Gao Xiaodong became very famous in Matosinho, and Lexos fans regarded him as a hero, and no fans from other places dared to make trouble.
Gao Xiaodong lives very comfortably in this small port town.
If there is any dissatisfaction, it is that the language teacher that the Rexos Club found for him is too wonderful.
The language teacher is Simon, about 40 years old, and the teaching is very serious. Under his guidance, Gao Xiaodong's language has improved rapidly. Portuguese and English are mixed with gestures, and he is already able to do the simplest things with his teammates and coaches. communicate with.
However, Professor Simon likes to carry private goods, always brainwashing Gao Xiaodong.
For example, he often promotes European culture, system and history to Gao Xiaodong. He told Gao Xiaodong: Omen was not occupied by Portugal. It was at the beginning of the 16th century. China repelled the pirates, and the Ming government gave Macau to Portugal in order to express its gratitude.
Of course, Gao Xiaodong could not accept this statement. He told Simon that history is not like this. The Portuguese colonists used bribery and deception to falsely claim that merchant ships encountered a storm and wanted to "dry their goods" in Macau. In the name of borrowing, they gradually seized Macau.
Simon firmly denied it, thinking that Hua Guo was distorting history. What he said was recorded in the history of Portugal, and there was nothing wrong with it.
Both Gao Xiaodong and Simon thought that the history of the other country was written incorrectly, so naturally they couldn't tell the difference between ugly and ugly, so they could only let it go.
Later, Simon said that the Omen was not taken back by the Chinese government. After Portugal overthrew the fascist dictatorship, it advocated the policy of decolonization and returned the Omen to China on its own initiative. Very good, refused to accept Macau, Portugal insisted not to, the Chinese government had no choice but to take it back.
This Gao Xiaodong couldn't bear it even more, and he didn't bother to go to Baidu to check the history of Omen's return. Anyway, this guy would also say that Huaguo's history book was wrong. He pointed directly at Simon's nose and said, you will be so f*cking again in the future. Tell me these things, what I need is a language teacher, not a fucking spiritual leader, if you dare to say it again in the future, get the hell out of me right away.
Simon didn't say anything in class that day, but Gao Xiaodong couldn't guarantee whether he would say it again in the future. Even if he didn't say it, Gao Xiaodong was also angry when he saw him, so he told Oliveira that he didn't like this language teacher, and let Rexos The club will give him another one.
Later, Chen Qiang found out, and told Gao Xiaodong that it was impossible, so he asked Xiao Le to go to Lexos to be his language teacher, and take care of Gao Xiaodong's daily necessities by the way.
Gao Xiaodong is now well-known in the Portuguese League. Although there are no sponsors, no endorsement advertisements, and not many fans, Gao Xiaodong believes that after this season, there will be another half season at the latest. , that is to say, after another season at most, Gao Xiaodong will have to find an agent.
It turned out that Gao Xiaodong was going to let Chen Qiang be his agent, but after this year's experience, Gao Xiaodong found that Chen Qiang could not help him develop smoothly in European football and get a better contract, so Gao Xiaodong didn't want to accept it for free. Chen Qiang's help, but Chen Qiang's kind help was rejected.
In fact, Gao Xiaodong underestimated his influence. Although he only played 6 games in the Portuguese League, he played better and better in these 6 games, and his status in the club became more and more important. With the title of super giant Porto player, after beating the leader Rio Avi, with the media's publicity, Gao Xiaodong has already overwhelmed all hopeful star players in China and became the first player to play in the Portuguese League. Few fans and reporters appealed to Gao Xiaodong to join the National Youth Team, and many merchants already had the idea of looking for Gao Xiaodong to endorse, but Gao Xiaodong only played 6 games, not stable enough, and Gao Xiaodong is not that kind of handsome guy, these merchants all There are still big doubts.
A player who was expelled by the Star of Hope, a player who was almost banned by the Hua Guo Football Association, and a player who came from an amateur league, unexpectedly became the best player in the Portuguese League. The Football Association gave a resounding slap in the face. Although some fans and reporters called for Gao Xiaodong to join the National Youth Team, the Football Association still took a cold-eyed attitude and did not make any response to this because of face.
