Chapter 59

Director Carlos, U17 coach Pereira and scout Hansen are watching the game and training video of Gao Xiaodong brought by Andrews.

After watching the video and listening to Andrews' introduction, Pereira said: "Mr. Andrews, I always think you and Mr. Hansen are the best and most dedicated scouts in the world. I respect your authority in this field, but please listen to my opinions."

Andrews said: "coach Pereira, just say it."

Pereira said: "it is undeniable that this fat man has an extremely rare Chinese ability to fight. He is very experienced, very smart and good at using his physical advantages. He is only 17 years old. It is hard to believe that he can deal with the field accidents so skillfully. In addition, I found that his skills are very comprehensive. Although his position is forward, when he comes back to the middle and back court, he will play well At that time, he also dealt with the problem very well. However, the problem is also very serious. He was born in the field, and his non-standard technical movements have been fixed. There are many bad habits. It is almost impossible for him to change his age. He has poor consciousness. He is slow in dealing with the ball, absolutely slow, too fat, too short. So many clubs do not choose him, for sure, there is no reason, like Ben FICA, real society, their level of youth training is very high, so I don't think such a player has any value in training. He has no ability to play in Portuguese first class games. Give up

Andrews said: "it's not easy to change, but it's not that there are no amateurs, such as Klose, Ribery and Pereira. I think we should give him a trial training opportunity."

Carlos, director of youth training, hit the nail on the head: "in amateur and low-level competitions, the actual combat ability is very strong, but there is no potential, so the trial training is meaningless."

If he was a stranger, Andrews would give up his talent, but he promised Gao Xiaodong. Moreover, Gao Xiaodong's magical progress made him feel that the potential of this fat man was not as small as it seemed. He explained for Gao Xiaodong: "you think Gao Xiaodong in the video is very bad. In fact, there are worse Gao Xiaodong. I'm the first one The first time I saw him play, his performance was very bad, but in less than two months, he has made great progress. I don't think his potential is as simple as what we see

"Andrews, I think you're a little influenced by Oriental mysticism," Perez said with a smile

Carlos, director of youth training, said to Hansen, who has been silent: "Hansen, you have a unique vision. You can evaluate this fat man from China."

Hansen has a pair of sunken eyes, bright eyes, looks like an eagle, he said in a slightly hoarse voice: "I think we should give him a trial training opportunity."

Carlos is a Leng, way: "Hansen, you also take care of him." Hansen and Andrews are the best scouts in Porto and even in the world. If Hansen is also optimistic about Gao Xiaodong, he must give the Chinese a chance.

Hansen shook his head and said, "I don't think much of him, but I believe in Andrews' eyes."

Carlos is speechless. What's the answer? However, it doesn't matter if it's just a trial training opportunity. Whether he can pass the trial training or not, he has to be jointly reviewed by the selection center, and then he said: "in this case, let him come to the trial training for a week, see his performance in U17, and then make a decision."

Andrews breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he can let Gao Xiaodong come for trial training, he is worthy of Gao Xiaodong. As for whether Gao Xiaodong can stay or not, he can't be the master. Porto has its own set of standards and procedures in recruiting and selecting players.

Coming out of the director's office, Andrews immediately calls Gao Xiaodong and asks him to come to Porto for trial training tomorrow.

Gao Xiaodong sees that the phone number is Andrews' and goes to find Chen Qiang as soon as possible to translate. But Chen Qiang is not here. He happens to meet Xiao le. Gao Xiaodong says, "sister Xiaole, can you speak Portuguese?"

Xiao Yue said, "I understand a little."

Gao Xiaodong handed the mobile phone to Xiao le and said, "then you answer the phone and help me translate."

Although Xiao Le speaks Portuguese in general, his English is good. Andrews, in turn, finally conveys his meaning to Gao Xiaodong.

Xiao Le's first job as a translator was very nervous. She only wanted to translate, but she didn't think about the content of translation at all. After she hung up the phone, she suddenly realized that Gao Xiaodong was attracted by Porto and asked to go to the trial training. She was pleasantly surprised and said, "little Dong, Porto asked you to go to the trial training! Porto let you go to trial training! There's a team looking at you! Here's your luck

Gao Xiaodong is very calm, way: "Xiaole elder sister, just try training opportunity."

Xiao Le said: "this is Porto. It's not an ordinary team. It's a big family. You have to hold on to it. If you can sign Porto, it's definitely a slap in the face."

"Well, it's an opportunity." Gao Xiaodong is quite satisfied with the trial training opportunity. After all, it's Porto. Andrews is just a scout. It's impossible to sign him directly unless he is the chairman of Porto.

"Get ready and play better tomorrow." Xiao Le is very happy for Gao Xiaodong.Gao Xiaodong suddenly thought of a problem, his English and Portuguese are all ignorant, how to find Porto's youth training base, and how to communicate with others.

Let Chen Qiang accompany him? But he is the boss of the company and is also responsible for so many players of the star of hope. Gao Xiaodong can't guarantee that he will have time to accompany him. Gao Xiaodong said to Xiao Le, "sister Xiaole, you can accompany me to Porto tomorrow. I don't know Portuguese, I'm afraid I can't find a place."

Now there are two more staff members in the training base of Portuguese Chinese team. Xiao Le is not as busy as before, so he said, "OK, I'll take a day off with Mr. Chen tomorrow, but if you want to play here, it's time to supplement Portuguese and English. You can't do anything well because of the language barrier."

Gao Xiaodong hands a stand, way: "I am now self-supporting, who give me language lessons, I have no money to ask tutor."

Xiao Le thought: "this is really a troublesome thing, if you are in Lisbon, I can help you to cram, but you went to Porto for trial training, I can't help you, but if you can sign with Porto, the club should find a language teacher for you."

Gao Xiaodong said: "it's hard to say whether I can pass the trial. I have no confidence now."

Xiao Le said: "Xiao Dong, have confidence. I believe you can. You played so well in Portugal China."

Gao Xiaodong wry smile, "you ball blind ah, this simply can't compare good, one is amateur, one is professional."

Xiao Le said: "in any case, whether amateur or professional, all need confidence."

Gao Xiaodong said, "you're right, Xiaole. I'll drink this bowl of chicken soup."

"What chicken soup, what do you mean?"

"If you don't understand, think about it carefully. By the way, don't tell others about the trial training, so as not to lose face."

Xiao Le said with a smile: "well, I understand that passing is a surprise."

"Smart, I'm going to train and play in Porto tomorrow."

"Go ahead."

Gao Xiaodong laughs and goes out to train with the ball.

Chen Qiang came back in the afternoon. Gao Xiaodong went to Chen Qiang's office and told him about going to Porto for trial training. Chen Qiang was very happy. After he came back from Porto, he also thought that Andrews was saying polite things. How can such a big family as Porto look up to a player whom neither Portuguese nor Chinese can look up to? It's unscientific. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be true. No matter whether we can sign a contract or not, it's good news to go to Porto for trial training in China.

Gao Xiaodong also thought of this, he said to Chen Qiang: "Mr. Chen, you don't want to tell others about this, it's still a matter of eight characters."

"I understand. Don't worry." Chen Qiangcai doesn't want to be exposed. There are many Chinese agents active in Portugal. Gao Xiaodong is a free agent, but he has no agent. Chen Qiang has regarded him as his own man, for fear that he will be robbed. How can he make it known in advance.

However, Chen Qiang thought of another problem. If Gao Xiaodong passes Porto's trial training, how can he play in the Amateur League? It's the fight for the league title. If he misses this time, he won't know when it will be next time. But Chen Qiang can't say this. What Gao Xiaodong is facing is a good opportunity related to his career. If you want to be an amateur league champion, someone will take time to help you. This is not selfishness. People who are extremely selfish can't say it.

I didn't expect Gao Xiaodong to say: "Mr. Chen, I went to trial training. I can't participate in the training of the team, but the game can't be delayed. You must inform me at that time."

When Chen Qiang heard this, he was very excited. This old gangster who has been living in China and all walks of life in Europe was moved. The child usually looks very slick, but only at the critical moment can he see the essence. He really attaches importance to loyalty and emotion. He even said: "how can it work? This trial is a major event in your life."

Gao Xiaodong said with dignity: "I have to help the team to win the championship. Mr. Chen, you provide me with food and drink, and give me subsidies. If I don't help you win the championship, I'm sorry for my conscience. Don't stop me. If you don't let me participate in the competition, I won't recognize Mr. Chen."

Chen Qiang didn't know that Gao Xiaodong came back to play amateur games for his promotion to s level. He was even more moved. He patted his chest and said, "good, good brother, good fat man, you will be my brother in the future. As long as I can do it, I will help you do it without saying a word."

Gao Xiaodong is speechless. At your age, Chen Tudou can be my uncle. He even calls me brother. Isn't that taking advantage of me?
