Chapter 267

Porto's appeal was rejected by UEFA, and it is almost impossible to participate in the Champions League. At this time, Porto made a fine adjustment on the price of Gao Xiaodong's transfer, no matter because of his commitment to Gao Xiaodong or the financial problems of the team. With a drop of 3 million euros, 27 million Euros can take away the best shooter and rookie of the Portuguese Super League.

But the managers of the top five leagues can't have a good bird. Porto's black shop has killed them for so many years. Now it's time for them to kill Porto. Therefore, several big leagues take advantage of the opportunity to lower their prices and hope to take away Chinese talent Gao Xiaodong at a lower price.

Not only are the big clubs taking advantage of the situation, but the small teams of the five major leagues are also pursuing Porto's midfield player Luciano, Defender Alves and striker Lisandro. They almost want to treat Porto as a cheap supermarket.

Gao Xiaodong originally put forward the condition that no less than two-thirds of the League playing time, starting and substituting can be, now see Porto do not have the Champions League to play, also worried, reduced the standard, as long as half of the playing time can be.

However, Manchester United, Arsenal, Inter Milan and other giants who originally pursued Gao Xiaodong all said that now they can only offer about 20 million euros to buy Gao Xiaodong and do not promise his playing time.

This made Porto general manager Diogo very angry, he said: "this is one of Porto's best talents in the past ten years, you only paid 20 million euros, it's a robbery."

England's "sun" schadenfreude said that Porto butcher for many years, and now finally to be a big family butcher.

Germany's Bild said that Porto's black shop has been open for many years, and the reason why it can continue is not only that the quality of the players is really good, but also that they can constantly attract excellent young demons. If they can't play in the Champions League, it will be a huge blow to them, and it is also very likely that they will become players' supermarket like Juve.

Then the "transfer market" revealed that Manchester United are now in contact with Tottenham striker Berbatov, Arsenal and Nasri are in a hot fight, and Inter have basically reached an agreement on Quaresma.

The situation has become very complicated. Gao Xiaodong has to call Mendes and ask him what to do now?

Mendes told Gao Xiaodong that since Porto can't participate in the Champions League, he certainly can't stay in Porto, but because Gao Xiaodong doesn't have the initiative now, it's impossible to seek too much benefit.

However, Mendes told Gao Xiaodong not to worry. These giants just want to take the opportunity to lower the price. In fact, they are still very interested in him. This is forcing Gao Xiaodong to put pressure on Porto. In the end, Porto can't hold on. If the price falls, these giants will snatch it. At that time, they can seek some more benefits.

Mendes saw clearly that Gao Xiaodong was not the party whose interests were damaged in the end, but he could not get the best interests.

The calculation of the big clubs is also very clear. If Gao Xiaodong wants to leave, he has to put pressure on Porto. Gao Xiaodong has only one and a half years' contract. Porto will have to reduce the price if he doesn't want to be a chicken. Therefore, the only thing that will be damaged in the end is Porto, which has been slaughtered for many years.

However, at this time, a Porto lawyer named Bruce changed Porto's fate.

After Porto's second unsuccessful appeal, Bruce carefully studied the rules of UEFA on the Champions League, and finally found that the current UEFA ban on Porto itself is illegal.

According to Clause 2.04 of the UEFA Champions League regulations, any team participating in the UEFA Champions League shall not directly or indirectly manipulate or influence the result of the competition in the domestic or international arena since April 27, 2007, otherwise it will be suspended. As Porto's bribery scandal occurred in the 200304 season, it is not within the jurisdiction of the regulations.

After Porto discovered the loophole, he immediately organized a team of lawyers headed by Bruce to appeal to the UEFA appeal board.

UEFA's appeal board has studied its own provisions and believes that the competition regulations currently applied were indeed formulated in 2007, while Porto's case occurred in 2004. The penalty decision of the UEFA records committee itself is illegal.

As a result, the UEFA appeal board also made a rare decision contrary to the disciplinary committee that Porto should not be banned from participating in the Champions League.

Subsequently, the president of UEFA convened a committee to discuss the matter and finally decided to lift the penalty for Porto's ban on participating in the Champions League.

The next day, UEFA spokesman Gaillard announced at a press conference: "according to the ruling of UEFA disciplinary committee, Porto club is allowed to participate in the UEFA Champions League in 2009."

It means that Porto can not only win 20 million euros in the Champions League, but also get a steady stream of black shops.

On the day of UEFA's cancellation of the penalty, thousands of Porto fans went around the Dragon stadium to celebrate, and Porto's players also participated in the celebration of the fans.

After Porto won the qualification to continue to participate in the Champions League, the attitude in the transfer market immediately became tough. Porto manager Diogo said that Gao Xiaodong not only did not reduce the price, but also increased the price. Gao Xiaodong's transfer fee is 30 million euro. If the team he transferred to wins the championship, Gao Xiaodong's playing time is more than half, and the transfer fee will be increased by another 2 million euro.The league is about to start soon, and several giants chasing Gao Xiaodong are still hesitating, which makes Gao Xiaodong very disappointed. He is too lazy to continue to consume. After discussing with Mendes, Gao Xiaodong decides to stay in Porto and continue to play the Portuguese Super League.

On August 24, Porto announced the renewal of Gao Xiaodong's contract with Porto through its own TV station. "Gao Xiaodong has renewed his contract with the club until August 30, 2011. Gao Xiaodong got the highest salary in the team, about 1 million euros. With the salary not high, Gao Xiaodong also got 50% of the portrait right, and Gao Xiaodong's breach of contract Gold has also reached 50 million euros. "

After that, Gao Xiaodong also held a press conference to announce the renewal of his contract with Porto. Gao Xiaodong told the media: "the league is about to start soon, and I don't want to continue to waste it. Porto is very kind to me. Without Porto, I can't come to Portugal. The president, manager, teammates and fans all hope that I can stay. I decide to stay and help Porto The Portuguese Super League and the Champions League

Mendes, Gao Xiaodong's agent, also told reporters about the incident. Mendes said: "after the end of last season, Gao Xiaodong has been in the vortex of transfer. It's normal for a talented player. Everyone wants him, but many top teams are not sincere enough and don't want to spend 30 million to take Gao Xiaodong away. Now I want to tell them that they will Regret, next season Gao Xiaodong's worth will only be higher than now

Gao Xiaodong's lightning like contract renewal with Porto surprised the whole European football world, and there are different opinions on this in the major media and the Internet.

Some think that Gao Xiaodong is still difficult to gain a foothold in the five major leagues and it's right to stay in Porto for one year. Some think that Gao Xiaodong has won the Portuguese Super Championship and it's meaningless to play in the five major leagues for another year. He should go to the five major leagues to exercise himself. Some people think that Gao Xiaodong has failed to prove himself in the Champions League, and it is difficult to get trust from the giants now. After playing in the Champions League for a year at Porto, if he is still outstanding, next season's transfer will be more favorable.

The news of Gao Xiaodong's contract extension didn't last for several days. The media soon turned their attention to the new transfer, but it has nothing to do with Gao Xiaodong. Now Gao Xiaodong has put all his energy into the upcoming Portuguese Super League. In the new season, he will try his best to upgrade and surprise the world.
