Chapter 202: An Unexpected Visitor
Although Gao Xiaodong rejected Da very simply. Costa, but Porto still does not give up and hopes to get Gao Xiaodong back through Lexos. Porto general manager Diogo met with Lexos technical director Mata in private, saying that Porto can give Lexos 500,000 euros, At the same time, some young players can be loaned to Rexos for exercise in the future, as long as Rexos does not take Gao Xiaodong in.
This ** is a bit big.
Not to mention 500,000 euros, for a small club like Rexos, this is enough for a season's bonus expenses. Loaning young players is a very good benefit. Porto's young players have just the potential. Even Gao Xiaodong, the fat man whom everyone despises, has now proved that Porto scouts are truly unparalleled in the world.
However, Rexos's current results are too good, and they are already number one in the standings. At this time, no one is a little bit fantasizing. Didn't Kaiserslautern in the Bundesliga do it? Didn't Greece and Denmark in the European Cup If it's done, isn't it possible that Rexos doesn't have it at all?
Rexos was tossed by the boss of Porto to hold a two-day management meeting. In the end, for the dream, the management of Rexos overcame the temptation of the three giants and decided to keep Gao Xiaodong and Zener .
After Christmas, the 15th round of the league came again without knowing it.
In the last round of fierce battle with Porto, Brandy was injured and Diao was sent off with a red card. In this round against Maritimo, neither of them could play. .
Zener and Sanchez can also be used in the midfield, but only Robert, Oscar and Thales are available on the front line. Only the veteran Robert can really be used, but Robert and Gao Xiaodong still have a rift, and Oliveira is afraid that Gao Xiaodong is unwilling to cooperate with Robert, which affects the team's victory.
After the 14th round, Rexos and Porto have the same 33 points, with Rexos ranking first and Porto ranking second. Sporting Lisbon ranks third with 28 points, Benfica and another newly promoted Guimaraes share 24 points, Benfica ranks fourth in goal difference, and Guimaraes ranks fifth.
If Rexos wants to sit at the top of the list for one more round, he must win. If he is at the top of the list for one more round, the players and fans will have more confidence. Oliveira doesn't want to go to the top of the list for one round.
Before announcing the roster, Rexos head coach Oliveira called Gao Xiaodong to his office and asked him which striker would be better for tomorrow's match.
Does the head coach still need to listen to the opinions of the players? do you need? Of course not, the meaning of these words is obvious, of course Gao Xiaodong will not accept this trick, he said that anyone is fine, and he will cooperate well.
This is what Oliveira wanted. He said that Rexos may be kicked out of the top position by Porto at any time. He hopes to send the experienced veteran Robert, and hopes that Gao Xiaodong will put the overall situation first and cooperate well with him. , don't lose the big because of the small.
Of course Gao Xiaodong agreed, saying that he was definitely not that kind of person.
Oliveira only dared to believe half of Gao Xiaodong's words, but there was no one on the front line, so he could only send Robert to play.
After Rexos defeated Porto, his feet were smooth, his morale was high, and he was full of confidence. Just five minutes into the game, Lopez received a header from Roberto on the penalty area line and volleyed the goal. Three minutes later, Gao Xiaodong was in the penalty area. A long shot from outside scored the goal and directly sealed the victory.
The goal is gratifying, but in the following time, Gao Xiaodong and Robert did not cooperate at all. Only Gao Xiaodong and Lopez were left in the frontcourt trio, and the single line between Lopez and Robert made Oliveira very happy. Worried, Brandy will rest for three weeks, and the state of the frontcourt trio can easily cause accidents.
So in 65 minutes, Oliveira quickly replaced Robert and sent a young speed forward Oscar to test the new combination.
After falling behind by two goals, Maritimo came out and gave Oscar a lot of chances. After wasting two or three passes from Gao Xiaodong and Lopez, Oscar finally caught one and locked the score at 3:0.
At the end of the 15th round, Portugal surpassed the top five, only Guimaraes lost, and the other three teams all won, while Rexos continued to lead the standings as a dark horse.
After the game, the next morning resumed training, and the afternoon was on holiday. After eating, Gao Xiaodong was chatting on the computer's QQ, when he suddenly heard Xiao Le shouting outside: "Xiaodong, we have guests."
"Who is it?"
The light in the living room was a bit strong, Gao Xiaodong squinted his eyes, and walked out in pajamas, pulling on his slippers.
"Hold the grass!"
Seeing the visitor, Gao Xiaodong was startled, it turned out to be Robert.
Robert was holding two boxes of gifts in his hand, and with a smile on his face, he said, "It's really impolite for me to visit without an appointment, please don't blame me."
Although Gao Xiaodong and Robert had conflicts, but later Gao Xiaodong teased Robert very seriously, and people said that he would not hit a smiling face, not to mention that Robert came with a gift, Gao Xiaodong laughed and said: "What is the blame? We are teammates, when can't come, come, sit here."
Robert handed over the two boxes with a strong smile, and said, "This is my Brazilian specialty yerba mate and old cachaça wine. I'll bring them here for my teammates to taste."
Gao Xiaodong has heard of these two Brazilian specialties. Robert, a professional player who has been in football for many years, will definitely not be brought here. Gao Xiaodong is very satisfied, but he quickly pushed the box out, "How can I accept you?" As for the gift, come as soon as you come."
Robert quickly said: "This is a specialty of my hometown. In fact, I have prepared a copy for my teammates. If you don't want it, you will look down on me."
Gao Xiaodong smiled, knowing that this was an excuse, and never heard of any teammate taking Robert’s mate tea and wine, but I had to look at you once, seeing that Robert hadn’t sat down, he hurriedly gave way: “Mr Robert Sit down, you're welcome. Miss Le, pour a glass of water for Mr. Robert."
"Yeah." Women love to hold grudges, and now Xiao Le is still bothering Robert, so he reluctantly went to pour Robert a glass of boiled water.
What a glass of water! Gao Xiaodong was speechless, woman, you are really narrow-minded, she came to the door, anyway, she can save face, besides, the gift is not small.
Robert sat down, exchanged some pleasantries, saw Xiao Le went to the bedroom to surf the Internet, and said, "Gao, I'm here to apologize to you."
When Gao Xiaodong heard this, he smiled and said, "Why don't you apologize, you are all teammates, and you still need this."
Robert said: "I have to apologize, otherwise I don't feel at ease. When you first came to Rexos, you didn't applaud because I scored a goal. I had a misunderstanding and I kept targeting you. This is my fault. I was too narrow-minded. , Regardless of the team as a whole, I have already humbled Coach Oliveira, and now I apologize to you."
When Gao Xiaodong heard it, he pretended to be confused and said: "Really? I forgot, why do you still remember?"
Robert nearly vomited blood, did you forget? You don't remember it better than anyone else, you can cheat me once if you have nothing to do, but you can't say this, he came today to throw up his hands and throw in the towel, just to make Gao Xiaodong happy, otherwise, his position in Lexos might be overwhelmed by Oscar. That kid is over, he is 31 years old, he doesn't want to change clubs anymore, and it's not easy to change. If he is young, he will definitely not suffer from this useless attitude. Now, he can only endure the humiliation and ask Gao Xiaodong's forgiveness to catch Bran. The opportunity to play the main force if Di is injured, so that he can get a contract extension at the end of the season.
"You are an adult, don't care about me." Robert smiled.
Gao Xiaodong didn't want to continue acting like this with him, so he laughed and said, "Actually, it's nothing, you don't have to worry about it, it's just a small matter, not a grudge."
Robert nodded again and again, "Yes, it's just a little thing."
Gao Xiaodong said: "It's getting late, Mr. Robert, let's have dinner together."
In fact, it was only half past three, and it was still early for dinner. Robert didn't understand why, this was seeing off the guests, he had delivered the gift, and he had finished apologizing. There is also entertainment, so I have to go back."
"Who doesn't have a social meeting, it's not too late to go back after dinner." Gao Xiaodong pretended.
"No, no, I have to go back, I will invite you next time."
"Bring that gift back, it's too expensive, I can't accept it."
"If you say that, you look down on me, Robert. If I take it back, can I still stay in Rexos?"
"Okay, then I'll stay."
Robert was determined to leave, Gao Xiaodong pretended to stay, but of course the dinner would not be finished.
After Robert left, Xiao Le and the monkey came out of the room.
"Fatty, is Robert here to surrender to you?" the monkey said with a smile.
Xiao Le said: "If you don't accept captives, the gift should be thrown out for him."
Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "Why did you throw it out? In fact, he didn't come to me. I have to cooperate with him in the next game. In Rexos, Robert has more experience in the Portuguese Super League than Brandy. He Indispensable."
Xiao Le said in surprise: "Then you didn't cooperate with Maritimo when you beat him."
Gao Xiaodong said with a grin: "Anyway, the outcome has been decided, so don't suppress him, do we have good tea and wine?"
"Shameless!"
"Dirty!"
Xiao Le and Houzi were speechless, and thought, this fat man, Robert offended him, it was really bad luck for eight lifetimes, but being his friend is so refreshing, I am not afraid that someone will suffer. (To be continued.)
