Restricted Superstar

The next morning, Gao Xiaodong was shopping with Chen Qiang, Yang Fan and others, and his agent Mendes called.

"Xiaodong, come over for dinner at noon. On Christmas, Gasfurt’s customers have a dinner together at the Porto Mar Hotel."

Gao Xiaodong looked at the big and small things in his hand, and said, "Mr. Mendes, is it important?"

Mendes said lightly: "Better come here, there should be a lot of people you have been admiring for a long time."

"Okay, I'll go over."

Gao Xiaodong hung up the phone and said to Chen Qiang: "Brother Chen, I have something wrong and can't go shopping with you. Mendes asked me to go to dinner, saying that it was a dinner party with customers of Gass Agency.

Yang Fan's eyes lit up and said, "The customers of Gasfoot are shining stars. I don't know if Mr. Jin Qiu will come."

Gao Xiaodong said: "Who knows, but Mendes said there will be a lot of big names."

"You go, and it's good to talk to those famous football stars." Chen Qiang looked at Gao Xiaodong. He went shopping on the street today. Gao Xiaodong dressed casually. "Go back and change clothes. It's too rude, it's just right. We should go back to eat too."

Gao Xiaodong also felt that it was necessary to dress more formally for such occasions, and said, "Okay."

Yang Fan smiled and said, "Fatty, ask if you can bring an assistant. I will ask the superstars for a group photo and autograph, so I can pretend to be forced when I return home.

Gao Xiaodong said contemptuously: "That's what you can do."

Yang Fan said: "You are promising. If you win a Golden Globe Award, I don't need to take a photo with others."

"I won't take a photo with you."

"I rub, it's like playing, the Golden Globe Award is not a goal award."

...

Everyone laughed and returned home. Xiao Le and Chen Qiang felt that Gao Xiaodong should be dressed more mature. They picked him a black suit and blue tie, and then asked Xiao Le to send him to the Porto Mar Hotel.

After getting out of the car, Gao Xiaodong met Benfica’s Di Maria at the entrance of the hotel. The two were opponents on the stadium. Gao Xiaodong and Porto’s Argentine gang were not at each other. Di Maria happened to be an Argentine. People glanced at each other, no one was ignoring each other, they all turned their heads and walked inside as if they hadn't seen each other.

"Good Xiaodong, good Di Maria, please go inside, go to the second floor, we have taken the entire second floor down."

Just entering the door, Mendes' nephew Louis. Correa greeted him and greeted them to the second floor.

The hall was very lively, with guests coming and going. Many people Gao Xiaodong looked familiar, but couldn't recognize any of them.

When I came to the lobby on the second floor, there were almost ten or twenty guests in the lobby. They were all familiar with each other and seemed to have seen them everywhere, but at a glance Gao Xiaodong could recognize Muri who was standing with Mendes and talking. Neo.

In the same black suit, Gao Xiaodong feels that Mourinho wears more handsomely than himself. I don't know how many times he wears clothes. He also has talent.

"Xiaodong, come here."

Gao Xiaodong's body and appearance are very easy to recognize, only one. Mendes saw Gao Xiaodong at a glance, and looked for him to let him pass.

Gao Xiaodong walked to Mendes, Mendes smiled: "Xiaodong, know Jose. Is coach Mourinho?"

Gao Xiaodong hurriedly shook hands with Mourinho, "Know, know, coach Jose is my idol."

Mourinho smiled and shook his hands with Gao Xiaodong and said: "Xiao Donggao, he performed well this season. I regret not taking you away in the summer."

Gao Xiaodong said somewhat cautiously: "That shows that what I have done is not good enough."

A player who looked like a farmer beside Mourinho smiled and said: "You are not good enough? With Chinese-style humility, who can do better than you."

Mendes pointed to the player who looked like a farmer and said: "This is Deco, originally in Porto."

Gao Xiaodong suddenly realized, and quickly reached out and said: "Mr. Deco is my idol, I am learning from you."

Deco didn't hold Gao Xiaodong's hand, but gave Gao Xiaodong a warm hug, hehe smiled and said, "I hope you can become my idol. Chairman Da Costa hopes that you can become Ronaldo of Porto."

Gao Xiaodong said quickly: "This is what the chairman said for fun."

Mourinho said solemnly: "Chairman Da Costa has never said Deco like that."

Deco said: "What the coach said is that in terms of talent, you are not as good as Ronaldo and Messi, but you have distinct characteristics, rapid progress, and unlimited prospects."

Mourinho said to Mendes: "Is Ronaldo coming?"

Mendes said: "Not necessarily, the Premier League winter break has not yet begun, but Ronaldo said he might come and sit down."

Mourinho said sharply: "Ronaldo is not in England?"

"Well, he is in Portugal." Seeing Mourinho glanced at Gao Xiaodong, Mendes said: "Deco, you are familiar with the people here. You can bring Xiaodong to meet other friends. You will probably be in the future. teammate."

"Okay, Xiao Donggao, come with me, I know the people here, let me introduce to you."

Although Deco is also a superstar player, he has been able to work hard step by step from a small game. He is a late bloomer and has an approachable personality. Whether he is an unknown person or a famous big name, he seems to know him, like a socialite, with Gao Xiaodong. I almost met the people in the hall.

Although they are all from Gasfoot, they are still very close to each other. People like Di Maria, Coentron, Nani and Benfica and Sporting Lisbon are very indifferent to Gao Xiaodong, while Anderson and Pepe , Simao, these Porto players are very enthusiastic about Gao Xiaodong, especially Anderson, who drags Gao Xiaodong to talk endlessly, and keeps saying that Gao Xiaodong is like him, which makes Gao Xiaodong listen very awkward.

After finally getting rid of Anderson’s funny comparison, Gao Xiaodong took a tray, got some food, and was about to find a place to fill his stomach. He scanned the hall and found that in the west corner, there was only one person enjoying the food. It was quieter. Gao Xiaodong walked over with the tray.

"Can I sit here?"

Gao Xiaodong sat down, then asked.

"You are all sitting down, is it interesting to ask again?"

The player who was immersed in eating finally raised his head and said nonchalantly.

Gao Xiaodong saw that he didn’t know him, he didn’t know him well, maybe Deco didn’t introduce him to him just now, or he was not in the hall just now, otherwise he should be impressed with such an ugly person. Taller, Gao Xiaodong thought badly, and said with a grin: "Interesting, being late is also polite, my name is Gao Xiaodong, Chinese, what is your name?".

"Diego. Costa. Brazilian."

"Which team are you on? How come I haven't seen you."

"It's normal not to have seen it. I'm in Spain, an unnamed team."

"Ah! The five major leagues, so amazing." Gao Xiaodong thought, such an ugly guy has gone to La Liga, and Nima is so handsome who is still in the Portuguese Super League.

"Awesome shit, I'm in West Second."

"I'm in the Portuguese Super League, about the same as West Second." Gao Xiaodong said with a grin.

Diego. Costa sullenly said: "It's far, you can play in the Champions League, after a few Champions League games, you are now famous in the world, I don't know where to go next season."

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said: "Don't worry, there are so many things to become famous on the football field. I used to play an amateur league."

Diego. Costa gave a thumbs up and said: "I have heard of you, your experience has given me a lot of courage to persist."

Gao Xiaodong said: "Does your team have any hope of upgrading? If not, transfer as soon as possible. It still won't work in West Second Division."

Diego. Costa said: "It's a person from Atlético de Madrid, who is on loan to West Second. I hope that the winter transfer or summer transfer can return to Madrid, otherwise I will transfer."

Gao Xiaodong said in surprise: "It's from Atlético de Madrid. Our opponent in the Champions League knockout matches is Atletico Madrid. We are still opponents."

Diego. Costa said angrily: "This has nothing to do with me. I haven't played a game for Atletico."

Gao Xiaodong said sympathetically: "You are almost like me."

Diego. Costa said: "The difference is far, you are all the way up, I played from the Portuguese Super League to the Portuguese League, from the Portuguese League to the La Liga, and from the La Liga to the West Second, and I went downhill."

Are you a joke? Gao Xiaodong was speechless. After a while, he could easily suffocate, "According to this trend, your next step is to go to La Liga."

Diego Costa scratched his head and said, "Thank you Ji Yan, you said that, it's pretty much the same."

It's almost a fart, you are so funny. Gao Xiaodong was speechless again, and had to bow his head to eat.

At this moment, suddenly Louis hurried to the second floor lobby and shouted to Mendes: "Ronaldo is here."

"Ah! Mr. Golden Ball is here!"

"Oh! The world's first person is here."

"Mourinho is here, and Ronaldo is here too. This meal is worth it."

...

In an instant, everyone's topic came to Ronaldo.

Mendes beamed with joy and said to everyone: "You eat slowly, I'll go and see."

Mourinho smiled and said, "I will go with you."

Mendes and Mourinho both went down to greet, and of course the others would not sit stupidly, they all followed.

Diego. Costa stood up, watched Gao Xiaodong didn't move, and said, "You won't go down."

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said: "Mr. Mendes let us eat slowly. Why do we go down. Forty or fifty people have gone down. Ronaldo can see who he can, and he may not be able to hold his hand."

Costa also sat down and said, "Well, anyway, I can't flatter an unknown person like me."

"Yes! Pick something good and eat it quickly."

"Well, the food here is very good."

So Gao Xiaodong and Diego Costa sat there teasingly and ate and drank comfortably. Unexpectedly, when 40 or 50 people went down together, Ronaldo could not find them at all, but when they came up, they would definitely be able to see them. To them...
