Chapter 126 Comparison

Before the game between Rexos and Guimaraes, a game highlight and evaluation report about Gao Xiaodong's half season in Rexos was handed over to Porto Chairman Da by scout Andrews. Costa's desk head.

Da. There are many people sitting in Costa's office, club manager Diogo, Porto coach Ferreira, youth training director Carlos, marketing director Gomez, and scout Hansen are all there. They rarely gather together. Usually, it is only when commenting on a potential and controversial talent star that such a mobilization will be made. The last person who shocked so many department heads in Porto was the somewhat violent genius defender Pepe. Now he has been spotted by Real Madrid. Not surprisingly, he will leave Porto at the end of the season, and his worth is as high as 3,000 euros.

Andrews played the video highlights and regretfully said: "Chairman, the last league game has not been played yet, this may have a certain impact on Gao Xiaodong's evaluation."

Da. Costa said: "It's almost the last league game. Xiao Donggao is just a puzzle in Rexos. He still can't decide such a championship final game. Brazil's Fernando must make a decision quickly, and it is no longer possible to continue. drag it down."

Youth training director Carlos said: "Yes, the level of this game is close to the middle and lower reaches of the Portuguese Super League, and the pressure is even greater. Let alone children, adults can't bear it."

Scout Hansen said: "The scouts in Alkmaar, the Netherlands, have noticed Fernando and started contacting the Villanova club. If we don't make a move, it may be too late."

After watching Gao Xiaodong's game highlights and evaluations, Da. Costa took a deep puff of the cigar, spat it out, and said easily. "Let's talk about your views on Xiao Donggao, from all aspects."

The last time Ferreira watched Gao Xiaodong's highlights, he was directly sentenced to death. This time Ferreira was not so sure, he pondered: "Xiaodong Gao has made great progress, especially his body, now that he has lost weight, Physical fitness has surpassed that of ordinary professional players. In terms of a certain position alone, he is not enough to play in the Portuguese Super League, but his skills are very comprehensive. He can play forward, midfielder and midfielder. It is also possible for Porto to play as a substitute, but playing time cannot be guaranteed."

Da. Costa asked, "What's your opinion? We have the clause to take back Xiao Donggao at any time."

Ferreira said: "I don't object to taking it back. There are not many players in the first team who have no chance to play. They are all waiting for the chance to play. Porto now has captain Macho, Assuncao, There are three Meireles, which one can he compete with? Even if Fernando is introduced, he can only sit on the bench or go out on loan. I think young players should play more games. Staying in Rexos may be beneficial to Xiao Donggao’s development more favorable."

Some people speak first, and it is easier for others to speak. Hansen said: "From the perspective of a scout, Gao Xiaodong's development potential is difficult to predict. It may be high or low, but his positioning is not accurate. Playing both the midfielder and the back, in fact, this is not conducive to his rapid improvement, it is difficult to become the main force of the team with a universal game, in this regard, he is not as good as Brazil's Fernando."

Marketing Director Gomez said: "Gao Xiaodong is very popular and has a high prestige among the Chinese. In the future, he is expected to become the number one star in China and an important figure in Asian football after Li Minghai and Zheng Hua in the Premier League. One of them can be the key for us to develop the Far East market. His shortcomings are also obvious. He is not tall enough and not handsome enough. In a world that pays more and more attention to appearance, his fan coverage cannot be as large as that of Beckham and Ronaldo Extensive, commercial value is difficult to judge."

After Gao Xiaodong left Porto, the head of the marketing department Gomez's attitude towards Gao Xiaodong also became colder. After all, there are many potential youngsters on loan, but not many come back.

Carlos, director of youth training, said: "Our first team has no shortage of midfielders, captain Lucho Gonzalez,

Paulo Assuncao and Mereles can both play, and Gao Xiaodong still has a half-year loan period. Is it really necessary to bring him back halfway? If there is a need for a young substitute to learn from old players, I think Fernando is more suitable. First, his language, culture, and football awareness have no obstacles, and he can seamlessly connect. Second, he has an advantage in height, 1.83 meters, and excellent air defense. , the interception area is large; third, the technique at the feet is also better than Xiaodonggao. "

Carlos, the director of youth training, has always had a grudge against Gao Xiaodong. At this time, he can finally hit Gao Xiaodong with all his might. He thought to himself, brat! If you want to go back to Porto, just wait slowly, there are many talents waiting to enter Porto.

Da. Seeing that Diogo and Andrews were silent, Costa said, "You two should also express your views."

Andrews said: "My opinion is all in the video and evaluation. If I have to say it, I think Gao Xiaodong should come back and give him more time to play. His potential is unfathomable."

Diogo, who had been silent all this time, said leisurely at this time: "Chairman, Rexos director Mata just called me, hoping to buy out Gao Xiaodong, I haven't had time to report to you yet."

Hearing that Rexos wants to buy Gao Xiaodong, the leaders of various departments present here are not surprised. Even if you haven’t watched Rexos’ games, you can see from the highlights that Gao Xiaodong’s performance in the past half season has been better than ever. Good day, has gradually integrated into the Rexos system, it is normal for Carus to want to buy out this potential rookie.

Da. Costa suddenly changed his face and said: "We have worked so hard to dig this out. He has a good idea, Diogo, tell Carus that it is okay to continue the loan, and there is no need to talk about buying out."

Diogo smiled and said: "This incident reminds us that Xiaodong Gao is still ours now, and his future is in our hands, but Fernando, who has unlimited potential, does not belong to us. I think we should win Fernando first. , As for Xiao Donggao, didn’t he train very well in Rexos, let him continue to train, when Coach Ferreira thinks he can play in the Portuguese Super League, he will be called back.”

Costa looked at the head coach Ferreira, who suddenly stood up and said, "I've finished what I want to say. If Gao Xiaodong doesn't play as a defensive midfielder now, at most he will play as a substitute. The time cannot be guaranteed. If the waist is low, the playing time will only be less, well, the team is still preparing for the final game of the league, I will leave first, you continue to discuss."

The old coach Ferreira left coolly, Da. Costa took another deep puff of his cigar, and said: "Everyone has expressed their opinions, which are similar to mine. First, Xiao Donggao trained well in Lexos. Second, Xiao Donggao made his own choice. Going to Rexos, third, Xiao Donggao is no accident, he may continue to compete in the Portuguese Super League with Rexos next season, right under our noses, we can see his performance and development more clearly , Let him stay at Rexos for now, if he performs well, we will call him back, now we should buy Fernando immediately, don't let the talent slip away."

Hansen, who discovered the genius of Fernando, applauded: "The chairman is right. Gao Xiaodong belongs to us, but Fernando is not ours. If Xiaodong Gao is not taken back, Fernando will feel that we are more sincere in cultivating him. I think he will Porto's will will be stronger."

Youth training director Carlos said: "But the Villanova club asks for one million euros."

Diogo sneered: "A Brazilian third-tier club dares to ask for so much money. It would be nice to give them 850,000."

Chairman Da. Costa smiled slightly and said: "Only give 700,000 yuan, plus 50,000 yuan for negotiation. I don't believe that Alkmaar Club is more attractive than our Porto, and the policy is more relaxed than our Portugal."

Seeing that the chairman had already made a decision, Andrews sighed. He actually hoped that Xiao Donggao could go to a bigger stage to train. Intense position, now he can only stay in Rexos.
