Chapter 286

For better adjustment and rest, Porto arrived in London two days ahead of schedule.

There was no training in the afternoon. The next morning, Porto went to the Emirates Stadium by bus for adaptability training. But when he arrived at the Emirates Stadium, he was told that he was maintaining the turf and could not train.

Emmanuel fire, "such a big club, unexpectedly so small gas son, even to adapt to the venue are not allowed to adapt."

Ferreira was very upset with the vice president dales said: "president, you contact Arsenal to see if you can train."

Dales immediately called Arsenal's chief executive Richard, but Richard told him that the Emirates stadium can't train now, but Porto can go to Colney training base to train and come back in the afternoon to adapt to the field.

Porto had no choice but to drive for nearly an hour to train at the Colney training base.

Kearney training base is known as the most luxurious training base in Britain, but at present, Porto players are obviously not interested in visiting and appreciating the opponent's base, they all concentrate on training.

Under the opponent's eyes, Porto certainly can't expose his tactics. Although Ferreira is conservative, he has rich experience in coaching. He not only lets the players wear their jerseys indiscriminately, but also changes the formation several times, separating the playing methods and routines for practice, so that the opponent can't find out Porto's playing methods and main team.

English fans and journalists are very well informed. Porto has finished training from the Colney training base. There are more than a dozen journalists and hundreds of fans waiting outside, many of them Chinese fans.

In the away game, of course, he tried his best to get the support of the local fans. Ferreira asked the driver to stop the bus, asked the fans to come up in turn to sign a group photo, and arranged for several reporters to be interviewed by the reporters. However, Ferreira was very wary of the English fans and did not let Gao Xiaodong be interviewed.

In the afternoon, the Emirates stadium can finally be used, Ferreira quickly with the players to adapt to the field.

Kolni training base does not allow fans to participate, but the Emirates Stadium is open to fans. When Porto players came to the stadium, there were no less than 1000 people on the pitch, but they did not all come to see Porto training. Many people came to visit the stadium.

This time Ferreira still takes the way of disorderly wearing jerseys and disrupting the formation to train, but such a cover up can only fool the fans and journalists, and professionals can still see it at a glance, such as Kevin, assistant coach of Tottenham Hotspur, and Dave, Manchester City scout.

Kevin is entrusted by coach Redknapp to observe Gao Xiaodong. For Tottenham, Arsene is the best scout. The people Arsene is interested in are sure to get involved. Even if they can't, they will certainly raise the price.

Although Redknapp has Gao Xiaodong's video in his hand, it is obvious that no matter how good the video is, it is better to watch it on the spot. So Kevin instead of Redknapp came to Colney training base to observe Gao Xiaodong.

Gao Xiaodong is easy to identify. He is the only Chinese with black hair and eyes in Porto. Kevin recognizes him at a glance.

At the beginning of the game, Kevin wondered why Gao Xiaodong, a professional player, was not good at technique. It's not too rough to say. Why did Arsene Wenger, who always likes delicate technique and good dribbling, fall in love with him. Such a player should be a favorite of Chelsea.

However, Kevin soon found out that Gao Xiaodong is very strong and smart. He is good at using his body. If Arsenal find such a player to play in the back, the hardness will go up immediately, just like when Arsenal signed Vieira.

Kevin secretly admires that although Arsene Wenger has not won a League Cup in recent years, he can be regarded as the champion in terms of finding new players. Kevin thinks Tottenham Hotspur should create a little trouble for Arsenal in the transfer market and can't make it easy for them to get high school.

In the stands opposite Kevin, Manchester City scout Dave used his camera to record for a while from time to time, and then wrote it down in his notebook. His attitude was more serious and professional than Kevin.

Dave used to be a scout for Leeds United. After the Middle East tycoons bought Manchester City, he was also hired to work as a scout for Manchester City.

Originally, Manchester City's main task of recruiting Dave is to help Manchester City analyze some popular stars. Now Manchester City is just like Abramovich when he bought Chelsea. They are not afraid to spend money, just afraid that people don't know that he has money. So they want to buy superstars instead of potential newcomers like Gao Xiaodong.

Just like Kevin came to watch Gao Xiaodong because Arsene Wenger is interested in Gao Xiaodong, and Dave is interested in Gao Xiaodong mainly because Manchester United's Professor Ferguson is interested in Gao Xiaodong.

although both Manchester City and Manchester United are in Manchester, there is a big difference in the status, reputation and strength between the two teams. Even if Manchester City knows that Manchester United is pursuing a high and low winter, they can not get involved. Now the rich in the Middle East are in charge, and Manchester City has become the richest team in the Premier League and even in European football.

At this time, Manchester City naturally won't make it easier for Manchester City's arch rival Manchester United, so Manchester City coach Hughes asked Dave to take a close look at Gao Xiaodong, to see how Ferguson's favorite Chinese is and whether he can become the successor of Chinese sun. If it's OK, Hughes won't care about money. Isn't it 30 million euro? As long as the level is high, let alone 3000 euro Ten thousand euro, that is fifty million euro, Manchester City can afford it.As a scout, Dave's observation is more detailed and professional than Kevin's. His records are not only qualitative, but also quantitative, such as the number of passes in a training session of Gao Xiaodong, the number of left feet, the number of right feet, the length of the long pass, the specific number of meters to pass, the number of meters away from the target, the number of steals and passes, the number of successes, the number of failures, and the range of activities How big is it Wait a minute. All of them.

After watching Porto's training, Dave made such a judgment: This is a very strong and hardworking player. His skill is a little rough, his movement speed is a little slow, and his physical fitness is excellent. But his strength and all-round ability can offset some of the technical disadvantages. Such a player can't fall into the hands of Manchester United. If Manchester United still want to introduce him, then Manchester City will take over Get him before Manchester United, if Manchester United have to play Gao Xiaodong, then in the Manchester Derby, Gao Xiaodong will become the obstacle on the city attack road.

Finally, Dave added that 19-year-old Gao Xiaodong doesn't have much chance to improve his skills, but his awareness and experience will make the players play their existing skills and advantages better. In time, maybe Gao Xiaodong will become the next Ribery and Klose.

The training Porto General of course did not know that there were still people in the stands to spy on them. They trained as usual. After the training, they signed a group photo for the fans and then left the stadium to go back to the hotel to have a rest.
