When Gao Xiaodong is worried about how to brush enough matches, Chen Qiang, the boss of Puhua team, the champion of Xinke Amateur League, has received two offers for amateur matches.
One is the immigration cup and the other is the Lisbon Amateur League.
The competition of the immigration cup is jointly organized by Portuguese countries. Portugal has more immigrants from South America and Eastern Europe. The football level of the immigration cup is also quite high. The Portuguese Chinese team has only been established for more than two years with poor performance and low level, so it has not been invited by the immigration cup.
Lisbon city league is organized by the Portuguese Football Association and belongs to the fifth level league of Portugal. The next level of the league is Lisbon regional league, and the next level is Portuguese C. It is hopeful to upgrade to the professional league, which is close to the semi professional level, needless to say.
The Amateur League Championship that Portugal China team just won was organized by sports company caborais. It's the same nature as the immigration cup and it's not formal enough. Therefore, after Chen Qiang received the invitation of Lisbon Amateur League, he was very happy that he could play Portugal's fifth level league, which is equivalent to stepping into the threshold of Portuguese professional football. If Portugal China team can attract more excellent players, They may not have no chance to upgrade to Portugal C.
However, when Chen Qiang took part in the Lisbon League and asked for opinions in the team, the five coaches of Portugal China team from the star of hope were not interested. They came to Portugal for training, and amateur football was for fun. After a year and a half of training, they went back to China to be coaches. They were not interested in upgrading here.
Although Gao Xiaodong has no intention of upgrading from the fifth level league step by step, it is also a way out. Besides, Chen Qiang is good for him, and he also has to help him. The most important thing is that he is in urgent need of game upgrading, so he clearly supports Chen Qiang and says: "coaches, even if you return home after the training, it will not affect the game of playing Lisbon League. Now people are very happy The family has given us face and invited us. If we don't play, we may not want to join in the future. I think we should not only play the Lisbon League, but also play the immigration cup. Besides running in the team, we should also play our Chinese reputation. "
Chen Qiang was so moved by Gao Xiaodong that he wanted to give him a hug immediately. He clapped hard and said, "Gao Xiaodong said well, this is the new generation of Chinese, with ideals and heroism."
Zhang Mingsheng looked at other coaches and said, "I think what Gao Xiaodong said is reasonable. Even if we return home, there will be others to make up for it. This opportunity can't be given up."
When other coaches saw that Gao Xiaodong and Zhang Mingsheng supported and won the Amateur League Championship organized by caborais, they got the respect and recognition of local Chinese, which made them very happy, and they didn't object any more. They thought they could play as long as they could.
The immigration Cup starts before Christmas and the Lisbon league starts after Christmas. There are some overlaps between the two competitions in the later stage of the immigration cup, but the impact is not big. Portugal and China have accepted the invitation of the two competitions to recruit and continue to fight for the championship.
There are 16 teams in the immigration cup. They are divided into four groups to play in the group stage, and each group has two teams to qualify. After entering the final eight, they will go through the elimination stage and finally win the championship.
The Portuguese Chinese team has just won the national championship of caborais with high morale, full confidence and strength. They have passed the test all the way, and the group has won the final. They have defeated the French Immigration team and the Romanian immigration team, but they will face the Brazilian immigration team with the largest number of Portuguese and the strongest strength in the final. The hope of the Portuguese Chinese team winning the championship is extremely slim.
Gao Xiaodong had already participated in all six group games and four knockout games when he beat the Romanian immigration team to reach the final of the immigration cup. He scored 23 goals in 10 games and was the second shooter in the cup, second only to Brazilian immigration team striker FabI, who scored 25 goals.
After entering the knockout, Gao Xiaodong played two more matches in Lisbon city league. Before the final with Brazil immigration team, Gao Xiaodong was only one match away from being promoted to amateur S-class.
This made Gao Xiaodong very angry. He encouraged Chen Qiang to contact the team to play a warm-up game. However, Chen Qiang and the players of Puhua team strongly disagreed. They are now fighting on both lines, and their physical fitness is almost overdrawn. Most of them were on the bench in the last Lisbon league match. If they play a warm-up game again, they won't have to play in the final.
This is the actual situation, Gao Xiaodong can not force the whole team to play a meaningless warm-up game.
Portugal and China will play two finals at home first.
Less than two months after winning the championship last time, Portugal and China entered the fifth level league and once again won the immigration cup, which was a great stimulation to the Portuguese Chinese circle. On the day of the competition, even Ambassador Zhang of the Chinese Embassy in Portugal came to the scene to cheer for Portugal and China.
In Portugal, Brazil and South America have always been the talent pool of Portuguese football, and the immigration cup has also attracted the attention of scouts from all levels of Portuguese teams. They hope to dig out the talents that have been missed. This is not the case. For example, Oliveira, the striker of Portuguese football team madimo, was dug out from the immigration cup. Now he has been picked up by Lisbon athletic Yes, it's very promising to be in the Portuguese Super League next season.
Therefore, on the day of the immigration cup, there were nearly 40 or 50 scouts and 20 or 30 reporters, including Li Xiang, a reporter from Sports Weekly.More than 2000 fans came to the scene, which is almost comparable to the number of spectators in a four league match.
There were so many fans, Chinese ambassadors and celebrities in the Chinese circle, as well as so many scouts and journalists. The opponent was the powerful Brazilian immigration team. The players of the Portuguese Chinese team were nervous and excited, and the game was completely out of order. In the first three minutes, the opponent made a quick closing error and was shot by the goalkeeper of forward Fabry.
Ten minutes later, the Brazilian immigration team scored another goal, and the two goals led the competition. The competition became a stage for Brazilians to perform. They constantly showed their personal skills and cooperation, playing with the players of Portugal China team.
Portuguese Chinese team is not a young team, nor is it a team composed of purely amateur players. Their players are retired professional players and semi professional players. Their psychological adjustment is very fast. When the Brazilian team improvises, they shrink the formation, try their best to avoid more goals, and wait for the opportunity to fight back from the Brazilian immigration team.
Brazil did not seize the opportunity to defeat Portugal and China. When they had enough time to play, they found that there was not much time left before the end of the game. However, the score between them and Portugal and China was still 2-0, which was not enough for them to win the championship. So Brazil went all out to attack again, trying to score a few more goals in the last time.
Because of the poor performance of the Portuguese Chinese team in front, they thought that the goal was like searching for something. Unexpectedly, when they launched a massive attack, the Portuguese Chinese team seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack, and the defender found Gao Xiaodong with a long pass.
The defender of the Brazilian immigration team was clever when competing with Gao Xiaodong. Seeing that he was not in a good position and could not squeeze Gao Xiaodong, he leaned against Gao Xiaodong with his body and tugged down Gao Xiaodong's shirt with one hand.
I didn't expect that Gao Xiaodong's strength was too great, and his reliance and pulling didn't work. Gao Xiaodong jumped up to grab the header and deliberately hit the Brazilian defender, which made him dizzy.
Waiting for the Brazilian defender to pursue, Gao Xiaodong has reached the front of the penalty area and smashed the door of the Brazilian immigration team with a groundball.
The ball excited the Chinese fans, who had held back almost the whole game. They cheered for Gao Xiaodong crazily. Even Ambassador Zhang couldn't help asking the people next to him who the fat man was.
A lot of scouts from Portugal C and level 4 teams have heard that the fat man is only 17 years old, and they all point their camera at Gao Xiaodong. They think that the Chinese player is a bit interesting and may have a future.
However, more scouts are targeting Brazilian striker FabI, who has scored 26 goals. Many people think that the 24-year-old FabI is hopeful of becoming the second Oliveira.
2: Although the score of 1 is also very disadvantageous, the Portuguese Chinese team kept a little suspense of winning the championship after all. In the rest of the time, the Portuguese Chinese team all contracted their defense and tried to keep the score.
However, the level of the football kingdom is really high, even for amateur players, there are no few players with excellent footwork. The staunch defense of the Portuguese Chinese team did not play a role. Five minutes before the game, Brazilian striker FabI scored directly with a free kick, locking the score at 3:1.
this score almost killed the suspense of the champion, and the players and fans of the Portuguese Chinese team were very happy Very sad. The Chinese celebrities headed by Ambassador Zhang are also very sorry. The Portuguese Chinese team played well, but the opponent's strength is too strong. But there is no exception. The only happy person is Gao Xiaodong, because he has been promoted.
