Chapter 418

Three days have passed since Roma's final, but Gao Xiaodong, who was standing in the tunnel and saw the team swept away by Barcelona, still can't pick himself up from the defeat.

At that time, Gao Xiaodong left with a red card. Messi took the penalty. He cheated goalkeeper Helton and shot the ball into the lower right corner. The score became 2-0, and then Porto's morale was in a turmoil. In the attack, they were continuously attacked by Barca, and finally they were swept by Barca with a big score of 0-4.

Porto has no ability to fight back against Barcelona. The only thing to be praised is that they only let Messi score one goal, which saved Gao Xiaodong's reputation as the best shooter.

Three days later in the final of the Portuguese Cup, Porto, whose physical fitness and mentality were affected, was in a very poor state. After 90 minutes of playing with Ferreira, Porto was still tied. If it wasn't for Gao Xiaodong's strange fall of leaves in the second half of extra time, Porto might even fall at Ferreira's feet and lose the Portuguese Cup champion.

After winning the Portuguese Cup, most of Porto's players forget about their defeat in the Champions League and happily celebrate their third championship with the fans. Only Gao Xiaodong clapped a few hands and went back to the dressing room.

At dinner, seeing that Gao Xiaodong was still depressed, Ferreira came to comfort Gao Xiaodong, "Xiaodong, don't think about the Champions League any more. You still have a chance to win the Champions League. It should be sad that an old guy like me, who missed this time, may never win the Champions League again."

Gao Xiaodong said with regret: "coach, when I think about it now, I think we still have a chance."

Ferreira shook his head, said: "our chance is very small, even if the start we defend, it is impossible to hold, in fact, to be able to reach the final is a surprise joy, we can win Manchester United and Arsenal, just because Manchester United is not in good condition, Arsenal's main players are missing too much."

Club Manager Diogo came over with a glass and said with a smile: "no one blames you, Xiao Dong. It's normal to lose if you lose. It's not normal if we win Barcelona. Have you seen the media comments recently?"

Gao Xiaodong and Ferreira both shook their heads. After the game, they, including most Porto players, didn't dare to read the news commentary, and many even turned off their mobile phones.

Diogo said: "there are few criticisms from the outside world. They are just praising Barcelona. We all know that it is normal for us to lose. The Champions League is not for small clubs. The reason why Jose can win the championship in 2004 is that his opponent is Monaco. If AC Milan and Real Madrid enter the final, miracles will not happen."

Gao Xiaodong said: "you don't have to comfort me, I understand, but losing is always uncomfortable."

Diogo said: "well, time will heal your wounds. Let's have a toast, Xiao Dong. On behalf of the club, thank you. Getting to the final has brought Porto a huge harvest. Don't think about so many unhappy things any more."

Gao Xiaodong poured a glass of champagne and had a fight with Diogo. Then other club leaders and teammates came to drink to Gao Xiaodong one after another, comforted him and said good wishes to him. At this time, Gao Xiaodong realized that this meal might be a parting drink.

Back home, Gao Xiaodong's buttocks were not hot, Mendes came.

"What's the matter? I'm still thinking about the Champions League. Don't think about it. You're only 19 years old and you have plenty of opportunities. It's great to be able to take Porto to the final. You still want to go black. "Mendes sat down on the sofa, laughing.

Gao Xiaodong said: "in fact, if we defend at the beginning, we may not have no chance. After Barcelona scored, we lost the chance to win. "

Mendes said with a smile:" don't complain about Ferreira. He is at this level. Even if he sticks to it, he will still make mistakes. Well, without that, I'm here to tell you the good news. "

GAO Xiaodong leans lazily on the sofa and says," what's the good news now? "

Mendes said with a smile:" your excellent performance in the Champions League has moved Nike, and Nike has readjusted their offer, nine million euros in five years, double the original. "

as soon as Gao Xiaodong heard this, his spirit came. Nine million euros, that's 90 million yuan. As long as he promised, the dream of a billionaire would come true immediately.

Gao Xiaodong is a grass-roots, less than 20 years old, can have 5.6 million euros worth, he is still very satisfied, but after Chen Qiang wants to buy a club and he plans to buy a house in the imperial capital, Gao Xiaodong feels that he is too poor, must make money quickly.

”How much does Adidas offer? "Asked Gao Xiaodong.

Mendes frowned and said, "Adidas is too arrogant. Five year olds are only willing to give 6 million euros. I think they can get out. "

GAO Xiaodong pondered for a moment and said," what's the offer of Nike? "

Mendes said:" full of sincerity, Nike's annual sponsorship to Ronaldo is 4.5 million euros, Nike's sponsorship to Kobe is 7.5 million euros, LeBron's sponsorship is 9 million euros... "

Gao Xiaodong is a bit impatient, way: "why to play basketball so much, to play football so little?"

Mendes hands, said: "there is no way, Nike is an American enterprise. NBA has a greater influence in the United States. Nike also gives Tiger Woods 1600 years. It can't be compared like this. If you look at Messi, you will be happy, because. Adidas only gives Messi 2 million euros a year. Of course, Messi won the Champions League this time. The sponsorship fee is estimated to be a big leap. You can get 1.8 million euros a year, which is very good. “Mendes thought that Gao Xiaodong would readily agree, but he said, "is there any floating clause? "

Mendes thought about it and said:" there are 30 goals in each season in Ronaldo's side, which will add 500000 euros. "

GAO Xiaodong said:" such a floating clause is good. Mr. Mendes, have you scored 40, 50, 60 goals and added more sponsorship? "

Mendes said with a smile:" your ambition is not small. You think it's as easy to score in the five major leagues as the Portuguese Super League, but if you say so, I'll give you a mention. "

after thinking about it, Gao Xiaodong said," let's sign for three years. I think five years is a bit long. "

Mendes looks as if he doesn't know Gao Xiaodong. He's crazy and doesn't earn money. He has to sign a three-year short contract. If you mess up, I can't get along with the money. He says," five years is Nike's starting contract. If you don't want to, you might as well float for the next two years and increase or decrease the sponsorship fee according to your performance? "

Mendes wanted to scare Gao Xiaodong, but Gao Xiaodong nodded and said," no problem. That's it. When will Mr. Mendes sign a contract with Nike? Call me when the money is. "

this guy, last time he was not in a hurry, this time he was in a hurry. What did he want with the money? Mendes said without hesitation: "Nike has everything ready, waiting for your signature. "

" OK, just Nike. No, Mr. Mendes, I also speak for a football shoe in China. Will this affect the signing with Nike? "Gao Xiaodong suddenly remembered the sponsorship contract with Uber.

Mendes frowned. "Why didn't you say that earlier? It must have an impact. How much is the sponsorship fee over there? "

GAO Xiaodong scratched his head and said," there is 100000 Euro plus commission for three years, and now there are two years left in the contract. "

when he heard that the sponsorship fee was so low, Mendes was relieved and said," you can discuss with your domestic agent later, terminate your contract with Uber, and give some compensation. The contract with Nike here will wait for a while, you can deal with it there, and then sign the contract here. "

GAO Xiaodong said with some frustration:" well, now it can only be so. “
