Chapter 62

At the end of the seven day trial period, Gao Xiaodong returns to Lisbon to wait for notice. Porto's Selection Center conducts a comprehensive evaluation of Gao Xiaodong's trial training this week.

Porto's evaluation of young players is divided into four levels: A, excellent, B, professional, C, semi professional, D and amateur. One of the A-level criteria is: "according to the normal development, is expected to grow into the world's top league players." B is the standard, can join the Portuguese a standard team, C is the standard can play Portuguese B League and regional league, D is pure play.

Gao Xiaodong's rating is C, which is made by U17 coach Pereira, scout Hansen, Andrews and three youth coaches.

The comments are as follows:

"attack: the player is suitable for playing as a center, but he is not big enough, has a very good one-on-one confrontation, and has amazing ability to protect the ball; the short pass is good, but the long pass is failed; he handles the ball slowly, the first touch is poor, and the ability to handle the ball in the packet defense is insufficient; the shooting time needs to be improved.

Defense: in the seven days of training, he can not fully understand the importance of protecting his teammates, slow speed, poor physical fitness, poor grasp of the opportunity to grab; no ability to defend back;

personal skills: the action is more proficient, but not standardized, many bad habits, difficult to change.

Psychological quality: cunning, optimistic, hard training, always want to hear the coach speak to improve themselves, try to communicate with teammates on the field, but it seems that the language ability is too poor

After reading the comments, director Carlos said to the six coaches and scouts who participated in the evaluation, "can this player stay?"

"The potential is too small," Hansen said

Pereira said: "the technology and consciousness are too poor, but the confrontation ability is very good."

Assistant coach Rodgers said: "at this age, it's too difficult to change the technical awareness."

The other two coaches of the youth team also think that it is meaningless to sign Gao Xiaodong. Even Gomez, the marketing manager who did not participate in the evaluation, thinks that such a potential player is not conducive to the development of the Chinese market.

Carlos looked at Andrews and said, "Andrews, this is your favorite player. What do you think?"

Andrews said: "my view is to sign him because he is a free agent and doesn't need to spend any money on us. In addition, he has a very good confrontation. Once he plays, he will have a great future."

Carlos pondered for a moment and said, "great da. President Costa said that when there is a dispute, don't rush to make a decision. We can put this player on hold for a period of time, just like Pepe, the central defender of our first team. We have inspected him for two years. It's less than half a year since Gao Xiaodong came into our sight. In addition, he is less than 18 years old. We can only sign him a youth contract. Don't worry, Andrews We will sign him as soon as we find that he has made significant progress

Andrews is speechless. Is that comparable? Pepe is a regular club in Brazil. Gao Xiaodong plays in the Amateur League. What progress can he make? There is still obvious progress. This is different from refusing. But the evaluation has come out, Carlos has also given the final judgment, and Andrews is unable to return.

After coming out of the material selection center, Andrews dials Gao Xiaodong and tells him the situation.

Gao Xiaodong was eating moon cakes with Xiao Le when he received the call from Andrews to make up for the Mid Autumn Festival, because their mid autumn festival was spent during the trial training in Porto. The pressure was too great and the training was too tired. They didn't even care to eat a piece of moon cake.

Because Andrews said very vaguely, Xiao Le translated Andrews' words to Gao Xiaodong. Gao Xiaodong didn't understand Andrews' meaning and asked, "Andrews, are you going to sign me or refuse me? Would you be more specific?"

Andrews said: "how do you say that? The director's meaning is to observe again. If you make obvious progress, you will be signed, otherwise it will be OK."

I fainted. Gao Xiaodong's heart was cold. "Ande donkey, does that mean a reprieve?"

Andrews was amused, said: "don't say so ugly, this is the observation stage, you still have a glimmer of hope, no way, very controversial, I tried my best."

If you change another person, I'm afraid you'll be desperate. If you don't play in a regular club, how can you make obvious progress? But Gao Xiaodong is a different kind of player. He doesn't need to train with anyone. As long as he plays enough games and wins the championship, he will automatically be promoted to S-class amateur player. S-class amateur player is equivalent to semi professional player, which is definitely a significant progress compared with Gao Xiaodong It's too late.

Gao Xiaodong felt a little humiliated and had no other feelings, but he was very desperate and extremely wronged and said: "ande donkey, you lied to me again. You are a shameless liar. You have to compensate for my spiritual loss."

Andrews was very sorry and said, "little Donggao, I'm very sorry. I'll try to recommend you to other clubs."

Gao Xiaodong said: "is there any club willing to accept me? I'm desperate."

Andrews pondered for a while and said: "Xiao Donggao, your physical fitness is very good. Maybe you are not suitable for the technical style of Portugal. I think you should try the clubs in Belgium, England and Germany. The football there pays attention to confrontation. Maybe you can play on the stage."Gao Xiaodong felt that his body might really be suitable for Britain and Germany, who pay attention to confrontation. He said, "ander donkey, I need your help to contact. I'm not familiar with those countries."

Andrews said: "OK, this bag is on me. I'll contact the club for you now. I'll let you know if I have any news."

Gao Xiaodong said, "well, I'll leave my future to you. Don't fool me any more."

"In the name of God, I will help you find the right club this time." Andrews said.

Gao Xiaodong said: "come on, God won't even take care of such trifles. Just try your best."

"OK, OK, I'll try my best." Porto fooled Andrews into wiping his forehead and hanging up.

Xiao Le gave Gao Xiaodong his mobile phone and said in disappointment, "is it over again this time?"

Gao Xiaodong was in a good mood and said with a smile: "it can't be said that it's not going to happen. Isn't it during the inspection period?"

Xiao Le said: "then you ask Andrews to help you find the club."

"I can't hang on a club in Porto," said Gao Xiaodong

Xiao Le said: "Xiao Dong, you are so hard-working and optimistic. I think you will succeed, but your English and Portuguese are too poor, which will affect your communication with your coach and teammates. Let me help you with your lessons."

Gao Xiaodong is very happy way: "that's great, I just want to ask you to help me make up lessons, that, don't tuition."

Xiao Le said with a smile, "you are willing to give better."

Gao Xiaodong said: "no, the star of hope doesn't want me. Now I'm poor."

Xiao Le said: "don't cry poor with me. I'm also a poor man. It's nothing if you don't want to give me tuition. Just treat me to dinner once in a while."

Gao Xiaodong said: "what can't be solved by a meal? You even want to do it occasionally."

Xiao Le gave Gao Xiaodong a shudder and said: "I not only want to be a free tutor for you, but I have books, tapes and tape recorders that I bought when I first came to Portugal. These can be used for you. You are saving money on these school supplies. Shouldn't you treat me to more meals?"

Gao Xiaodong scratched his head and said, "well, if there's anything else that can't be solved by one meal, then we'll have two meals, no more."

Xiao Le gave Gao Xiaodong a white eye, said: "stingy, stingy, careful later can't find a girlfriend."

Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "you are also careful that you can't find a girlfriend in the future."

Xiao Le Leng for a while, immediately wake up, "Gao Xiaodong, you dead fat man, don't want to be good." Say gnash teeth of rush to come over to want to beat Gao Xiaodong, frighten Gao Xiaodong to run away.
