Chapter 234 Climb to the Top and Embarrassment
After the end of the 29th round of the league, the Golden Whistle case, which lasted four years, was finally decided.
No surprise, no joy, just like the rumors.
The quasi-rich Boavista received the heaviest punishment and was ordered to be directly relegated. They can only participate in the Portuguese League next season and have to pay a fine of 180,000 euros. Club president Joao Loreiro was banned from any involvement in football-related matters for four years and had to pay a fine of 25,000 euros.
Porto escaped unexpectedly. They only lost 6 points and paid a fine of 150,000 euros. Since Porto led the second place Rexos by 5 points and the third place by 16 points, after the penalty points, Porto Lost the top position, but still has the Champions League qualification for next season.
Porto's old chairman Da Costa's penalty is also very light. He was only suspended for two years and fined 10,000 euros.
The Leiria team, which was definitely relegated, was deducted 3 points and fined 4,000 euros. Leiria chairman Bartolomeu was banned for one year and fined 40,000 euros. This penalty is almost the same as no penalty for Leiria.
International-level referees Proca, Duvalte, and Pachan were sentenced to one year in prison and suspended for three years for accepting bribes to manipulate the game. National-level referees Santos, assistant referees Sirito, Cuadrado, and Silva were three Banned for two years.
Although there have been a lot of rumors and rumors before, after the verdict came out, the whole of Europe was still shocked. The media regarded the Golden Whistle case as the second Calciopoli case, and believed that it would have a profound impact on the structure of the Portuguese league.
Due to the miraculous rise of Rexos and because of Porto's penalty points, they have reached the top of the standings and are very likely to win the league championship. Many media believe that Rexos may replace Boavista as the fourth giant. .
Although Rexos will play against Maritimo, sixth in the league, in the last round, no one thinks that Maritimo can stop Rexos from winning the championship. Even the pro-Porto media believe that Porto's chances of winning the championship are not more than 100%. Thirty.
The three major bookmakers in Europe gave Rexos odds of less than 1.5 to 1, while Porto was more than 1 to 3, which shows how optimistic Rexos is.
On the forum, Porto fans and Rexos fans scolded and fought with a hint of derby.
Porto fans believe that the Golden Whistle case is the Portuguese anti-Porto forces wanting to engage Porto. Rexos reached the top with Porto's penalty points, and it is not an honor to win the championship.
Rexos believes that Porto bribed the referee, manipulated the game, and the penalty points are light, and they should be relegated. Such a team is not worthy of winning the championship. Rexos double-killed Porto and was unbeaten against the three giants. .
In Europe, fans are hotly discussing whether Rexos can become Kaiserslautern of the Portuguese Super League and perform a newly promoted miracle. In China, this is not the hottest topic, but the hottest topic is Gao Xiaodong's acceptance During the interview, the Football Association said: "Can I curse people?"
In China, the football association and the national football team have been scolded by fans for a long time, but there are really no public scolding in front of the media. Gao Xiaodong's words became a buzzword among Chinese fans overnight.
As long as someone talks about the national football team and Huaguo football, someone will definitely say: "Don't mention the national football team, I don't want to scold people. Even Gao Xiaodong can't enter the National Olympics and the national football team. What else can I say besides scolding people? Except for the three players from the five major leagues." , whoever can find someone better than Fatty, I won't scold him."
Before the match between Rexos and Porto, domestic calls for Gao Xiaodong to enter the National Olympics were very loud, but the Football Association once held a special meeting on this matter.
Most people at the meeting believed that Gao Xiaodong’s strength would definitely allow him to enter the National Olympics and the national team, but Gao Xiaodong was also a thorn in the side and was not easy to discipline. He was expelled from the Football Association for beating the team leader when he was Star of Hope, and now he will take the initiative Recruited in, a bit embarrassing.
Chairman Long of the Football Association hopes that Gao Xiaodong can make a gesture, give the Football Association a step, and then recruit him into the Olympic team.
He even directly provoked the Football Association.
Now the Football Association is in a dilemma. If Gao Xiaodong is recruited into the National Olympic team at this time, it will lose face. If Gao Xiaodong is not recruited into the National Olympic team, with Gao Xiaodong's superb performance in the Portuguese Super League, fans all over the country will not agree. .
What Gao Xiaodong made at the press conference annoyed Chen Qiang very much.
During this period of time, Chen Qiang has been running around in the country about Gao Xiaodong's entry into the National Olympics, and finally got some clues. Chen Qiang is going to visit the Vice Chairman Yang in person, and make allowances. Chen Qiang knew that it would be difficult for Gao Xiaodong to enter the National Olympics.
Although Gao Xiaodong's entry into the National Olympics is expected by everyone, public opinion is nothing compared to the face of officials. Gao Xiaodong doesn't give the Football Association face, and the Football Association would rather risk the world's bad opinion than let Gao Xiaodong enter the National Olympics and the national team.
Chen Qiang is in charge of Gao Xiaodong's domestic affairs in China. Whether Gao Xiaodong can enter the national team has a great impact on Gao Xiaodong's reputation and status, so Chen Qiang really wants to have a good talk with Gao Xiaodong.
But on the day of the game, Gao Xiaodong played with his club teammates almost all night, and Chen Qiang had no chance. The next day, Gao Xiaodong and Yang Fan had their morning break, and Chen Qiang called Gao Xiaodong to his bedroom and said, "Xiaodong, are you Don’t want to join the Olympic team?”
Gao Xiaodong said in surprise, "Brother Chen, why do you say that?"
Chen Qiang said: "If you want to join the Olympic team, why did you say that during the interview yesterday?"
Gao Xiaodong said with a grin: "Brother Chen, tell me what I can say. I dare not say whether Zhuo Dongfang is strong or not, but I must be better than Zhang Chi. Why didn't the Football Association recruit me, but recruited Zhang Chi? Why is it because I was expelled from the Star of Hope, and now I am recruited back, it is not good-looking, so I suppressed me."
Chen Qiang smiled bitterly: "This is also one of the reasons. In fact, as long as you give the Football Association a face, the Football Association has already recruited you."
Gao Xiaodong sneered, and said, "Why do they have face, but I don't?"
Chen Qiang said: "But in this way, you have vented and gained face, but the Olympic team can't get in."
Gao Xiaodong said with a grin: "If you can't get in, you won't get in. With the level of the National Olympics, if you get in, you might be ashamed at home. I only know that there is a threshold for selling the country, and ordinary people can't sell it. Especially now that patriotism has a threshold, it doesn't matter, there is no way, There is no way to be patriotic.”
Chen Qiang couldn't move Gao Xiaodong, so he could only give up, saying: "Since you are not willing to bow your head, then you should play well in Europe and win the Portuguese Super League championship. The better your performance, the greater the pressure on the Football Association. If you can enter the five major leagues, maybe the Football Association will bow to you."
Gao Xiaodong said: "The five major leagues are not that easy, and you won't be able to play even if you go there."
Chen Qiang said: "Then where are you going next season, back to Porto?"
Gao Xiaodong said: "I haven't thought about it yet, let's talk about it after the last match."
Chen Qiang said: "If you want to go back to Porto, you can help Yang Fan. He came to Porto hoping to take your place in Rexos."
"Playing Porto, it was Yang Fan who helped me and the team. In the next game, I will help him score or assist without affecting the victory."
Gao Xiaodong is very grateful to Yang Fan. Before Yang Fan came on the field, in order to score goals, he had already made up his mind to use all his points to buy shooting skills. After Yang Fan gave him an assist, he saved more than 20 points , Points are lifeblood to Gao Xiaodong.
Chen Qiang said with a smile: "Yang Fan helped the team and saved himself. I read it online, and because of the assist he gave you, Rexos fans' impression of him has changed a lot."
Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "The coaches and teammates have also changed their views on him. This is a good momentum. I hope he can persevere."
Chen Qiang said: "Yes, I hope he can persevere. With a few more rookies like you, Huaguo's football will have hope."
Gao Xiaodong sighed, and said: "Brother Chen, can you stop mentioning this, it's annoying."
At this time, Xiao Le's voice calling for dinner came from outside, Chen Qiang smiled and said, "Don't mention it, go to eat, you still have to train in the afternoon."
"En." Gao Xiaodong opened the bedroom door and went to have dinner with Chen Qiang. It's better to play football and say that it doesn't seem to be doubled, please ask for the guaranteed monthly pass in the hands of the big ones
