Chapter 1190

Lisbon

the capital of Portugal

is less than 12 kilometers away from the Atlantic Ocean, which is the most western city in the European continent.

On September 12, the seaside city ushered in Champions League defending champion Manchester United and Portuguese superstar Gao Xiaodong.

Manchester United is a world-class club with many fans in Portugal, and Gao Xiaodong has no less fans in Portugal than Manchester United. When Manchester United arrived at Lisbon Airport, more than 2000 fans came to pick up the plane, and many fans presented flowers to Gao Xiaodong and Ferguson.

in the airport, Ferguson and Gao Xiaodong gave a brief interview with reporters. Different from their speeches in Manchester, Ferguson and Gao Xiaodong strongly expressed that Benfica is a great opponent this time. They have a great history and this game will be very difficult.

The Manchester United team left the airport for a rest by bus.

The hotel is located near the Columbus shopping mall, close to the home of Benfica and Sporting Lisbon. Manchester United will train at Sporting Lisbon's home Jose alvarad stadium.

Sporting Lisbon is the debut team of former Manchester United superstar Ronaldo. Although Ronaldo left Manchester United, Sporting Lisbon has always had a good relationship with Manchester United.

After a short break in the hotel, Ferguson held a team meeting, mainly to tell the players about the preparation plan and schedule for the two days.

Manchester United has a tradition of visiting nightclubs. Now the captain of the team has been replaced by a young man like Gao Xiaodong. Ferguson is worried that the players will make some pornographic news, so he specially emphasizes the discipline of the team.

In the afternoon, Manchester United went to the stadium of light for adaptability training. After returning, Ferguson took Portuguese player Nani to attend the pre match press conference, while Gao Xiaodong and other players went back to their room to rest.

Gao Xiaodong just returned to the room and received a phone call from Yu Debao.

"Xiaodong, I'm Dabao. Would you like to have a drink in the evening?"

"Come on, don't be hypocritical. It's better to invite me to have a drink after the game. If I have a drink now, I don't know what kind of disturbance will be caused if I'm seen by reporters or fans."

Yu Debao said with a smile: "yes, I'm not afraid of anything, but you have a big tree to attract wind. There are many people who like you, many people who are jealous of you and hate you."

Gao Xiaodong said: "are you not afraid? If you lose, don't talk about the white skin. You won't say you revealed their tactics

Yu Debao said with a smile: "it's not like you haven't been here before. Portuguese are better in Europe. They don't discriminate against Chinese like other countries."

Gao Xiaodong said: "Dabao, the day after tomorrow, can you play?"

Yu Debao sighed: "well, I'm afraid it's very difficult. I'm the fourth and fifth striker at most in Benfica. I have little hope of playing in such an important game. Unless I'm leading or falling behind by a big score, coach Gesus may let me play for a while."

Gao Xiaodong said regretfully: "the fourth striker is a bit suspended, Dabao. Do you think there is still hope in Benfica? What are your plans for the future? "

Yu Debao said with a bitter smile: "the hope is slim. I want to see how the other leagues in Europe are. If I can't stay in Europe, I will go back to China and play for Huachao."

Gao Xiaodong sympathizes with Yu Debao. He can achieve such great achievements because he has a superstar system to protect himself. Without this magical system, let alone a foothold in European football, it is very difficult to be a professional player. It is also very admirable that Yu Debao can spend so long in Portuguese football.

Gao Xiaodong said: "Dabao, the Portuguese team is small, the annual salary is low, the team's level is not high, leaving Benfica, other teams are not easy to mix, or I'll contact you in the Premier League to see if there are any teams interested in you."

Although Yu Debao has this idea, it is not like troubling Gao Xiaodong all the time. When he heard that Gao Xiaodong voluntarily agreed to help, he was overjoyed and said, "Xiao Dong, thank you for your kindness. Please."

Gao Xiaodong said: "it doesn't have to be done. After all, we don't have a team."

Yu Debao said: "it doesn't matter whether you succeed or not. You try your best. We will always be good brothers. But I want to remind you, Benfica is not easy to fight, or you will capsize in the sewer. "

Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "we all know Benfica is not easy to play, but as long as we can play normally, it's not a big problem to win. By the way, Dabao, how is Yang Fan at Porto? Does he come to see this game? "

Yu Debao said: "it's hard to say. Yang Fan's situation in Porto is not very good. A few days ago, when we had dinner together, Yang Fan said that if we couldn't stay, we would go back to our hometown with me."

Gao Xiaodong and Yu Debao chatted about the situation of Portuguese football for a while, then hung up and played games on the Internet.

Before long, Yang Fan called, "Xiao Dong, you have come to Portugal. Has Dabao invited you to dinner?"

Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "he wanted to invite him. I didn't give him a chance."

"Oh." Yang Fan said: "I see. You are worried about being seen gossiping. OK, I'll go to Lisbon the day after tomorrow to cheer you on. No matter who wins or loses after the game, I'll congratulate youGao Xiaodong said: "don't come. It's not like you don't train. You can't drink and eat when you want."

Yang Fan said: "it's absolutely impossible. You've all come to Portugal. Your opponent is still Dabao. I don't want to go to the scene to have a look. Are you still brothers? You wait for me. I'll call you when I get there. By the way, maybe I'm not alone. You have two old friends coming to watch your game."

Gao Xiaodong said, "who is it?"

"Anna!" Yang Fan said deliberately

Gao Xiaodong was startled and said: "no, you still have connections with that female nerve?"

Yang Fan laughs and says, "you are scared. It's hulk and GuaLin."

Gao Xiaodong's mind immediately came up with an appearance of Hulk, and said with a smile, "it's them. Well, I haven't seen them for a long time. I just came to get together."

Yang Fan said: "when you are developed, you have made friends with noble people. If you forget them, they and many of Porto's teammates are still talking about you."

Gao Xiaodong said: "don't talk nonsense. What kind of person am I? It's not too busy. After the training, there are all kinds of commercial advertisements and entertainment

Yang Fan said: "OK, don't pretend to be forced. Knowing that you are busy, we will go to see you instead of you coming to see us."

Gao Xiaodong said with emotion: "there is really no time now. When the season is over, I will go to Porto to have a look."

"Yang Fan said with a smile:" that is, you come to see, I also have face

Yang Fan and Gao Xiaodong talk for a while, afraid to disturb Gao Xiaodong rest, hang up the phone.

When Gao Xiaodong heard that Hulk, guarin and others were going to visit him, he was filled with emotion. He tweeted a few photos of Lisbon and expressed his feelings about revisiting his hometown. As a result, his teammates in Portugal, REXOS and Porto, responded one after another. Some invited him to go back and have a look, while others said they would cheer him on. Gao Xiaodong was very moved and determined I'll go to Porto at the end of the holiday.
