In the evening, Liu Jian, director of the Youth Training Department of the Football Association, Chen Qiang from the agency, and Qi Hui, the head of Adidas in China, held a meeting for the young players who will go to Portugal for training. The departure ceremony tomorrow will be the deputy director of the National Sports Bureau and the chairman of the Football Association. To come, they must explain to these young people, so as not to have trouble tomorrow.

There are as many as forty players who go to Portugal to play, but Gao Xiaodong is definitely the most conspicuous. There is a sense of sight of a bear who has come to the wolf pack.

Liu Jian, the director of the Youth Training Department, rubbed his eyes and asked Chen Qiang in a whisper, "Mr. Chen, is that the player picked by the Porto scout Andrews?"

Chen Qiang took the data sheet and compared it, and said, "Almost, he is the fattest in the audience."

Liu Jian smiled bitterly: "This vision is unique enough."

Chen Qiang smiled bitterly, and said, "It's a bit heavy."

Liu Jian beckoned and called Gao Xiaodong over and said, "That fat guy, come here."

Gao Xiaodong was chatting with Yang Fan in a low voice. He suddenly heard someone calling Fat Boy. He was very sensitive to fat characters. Ji Ling turned his head and saw Liu Jian beckoning him. He didn't know what had happened, and walked up nervously. rostrum.

Liu Jian asked: "Your name is Gao Xiaodong?"

Gao Xiaodong said: "Yes."

Liu Jian continued: "Where did you learn your skills?"

Fuck, there is such a question, but Gao Xiaodong still honestly said, "I trained with the Lucheng football team."

Liu Jian nodded and said, "How do you think you are playing?"

This question is more advanced than the previous sentence. He seems to be dissatisfied with himself. Gao Xiaodong was a little upset and said: "Leader, just my personal feelings?"

Liu Jian said: "Of course."

Gao Xiaodong said: "It's just my personal feelings, I'm not proud to say, I think my level is at least the 40th in the country, otherwise, why would I be selected."

Liu Jian was speechless and could not laugh.

Chen Qiang was amused, this fat guy, interesting. "Boy, I think you are too humble. According to your weight, everyone here is rubbish."

Gao Xiaodong shrugged and said, "I never bully people by weight."

puff! Liu Jian is also happy, this boy, you bullied and not bullied, haven't we watched your game video? This is speaking out of conscience. Which game did you bully by weight?

Liu Jian smiled, and the trouble he had just wanted to find Gao Xiaodong disappeared. Forget it, anyway, it was chosen by a foreign coach. Anyone who doubts about finding a foreigner, waved at Gao Xiaodong, "Go down."

After Gao Xiaodong went down, Liu Jian, Chen Qiang, and Qi Hui made brief arrangements for tomorrow’s departure ceremony, and then took the young players to the hotel’s restaurant for dinner. After the meal, the interim captain Zhang Chi and others were responsible for the speech tomorrow. Two players stayed, and the others went back to rest.

There was no words for a night. The next day, after breakfast, the parents, celebrities, and reporters who attended the departure ceremony all rushed to the Zhaolong Hotel.

The full-time vice chairman of the Chinese Football Association Long Yaoji, the head of Adidas China Qi Hui, the famous Chinese football player Qi Wushi, the famous coach Jin Mingyang, the well-known players Sun Huahai, Zhuang Yi, and the famous commentators He Hui, Xu Yang, and the famous director Wang Xiaoshan...all the names are very loud, and many young players recognize them, exclaiming from time to time.

When the Deputy Director of the National Sports Bureau arrived, the departure ceremony officially began.

The Deputy Director of the National Sports Bureau first gave a speech. He said to the Star of Hope players: “To communicate boldly and learn with an open mind, you must integrate into the local football atmosphere and cultural atmosphere. Not only must you play well, you must also learn well. High quality, to be a star like the basketball giant Yao Ming."

Then there was Long Yaoji, the vice chairman of the Football Association. Long Yaoji first thanked Adidas for its sponsorship, and then said: "The Football Association's selection of outstanding young players to Portugal is an important way for China's football talent training. It will be conducive to faster and better training in the long run. Reserve forces; it is conducive to strengthening communication and exchanges with European football powers; it is conducive to establishing and improving the talent training system. In the short term, it is hoped that these players can improve their level, be selected for the Olympic team, and have an outstanding performance in the 2008 Yanjing Olympics."

Long Yaoji expressed his belief that Chinese football can usher in a brighter future under the impetus and promotion of the new round of training in Europe. The Football Association will continue to promote plans to send high-level Chinese youth football players to Spain, Germany, and France.

Then came Adidas representative Qi Hui, manager Chen Qiang of the agency culture company, Portuguese coach Scaloni, and finally the player representatives and the parents of the players gave speeches. These speeches were all prepared in advance. They were all thanks, all requests, and the same. It makes people drowsy.

After various speeches, the video clips recorded by director Wang Xiaoshan showing photos, training, competition, and life of overseas players were played on the scene. However, it may be that they were afraid of being considered a related party. Gao Xiaodong's footage was deleted, which made Porto. Scout Andrews was very dissatisfied.

Then the former national football coach Qi Wushi presented armbands, footballs, and signed jerseys to the players of the Star of Hope. The famous coach Jin Zhiyang, the well-known player Sun Huahai, the overseas Brazilian senior Shang Yi, the famous football commentator He Hui, Xu Yang and the young players taught the study abroad. Experience and issues that need attention. Finally, forty players and guests on site took a group photo, and the departure ceremony ended.

After the ceremony, the players will fly to Portugal thousands of miles away in the afternoon. The organizing committee left the players two hours to say goodbye to their parents.

Gao Xiaodong took his parents back to the room and said regretfully: "When I came to Yanjing, I didn’t have time to accompany you around. Don’t leave this afternoon. Take a look at the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace, and the Great Man’s Memorial Hall. Let’s leave tomorrow. ."

Father Gao said: "Why don't you turn it around? It's still the same after watching it. It's better to have a meal of Roast Duck in Quande."

Gao Xiaodong couldn't laugh or cry, and said, "Dad, that's spiritual enjoyment, how can you compare it to Juquande Roast Duck."

Father Gao said: "Why can't it be compared? You have to spend money. It's all happy."

Gao Xiaodong was speechless.

Gao mother said: "Actually, I also want to have a meal of Juquande Roast Duck."

Gao Xiaodong smiled bitterly: "Well, let me ask which restaurant has the best Juquande roast duck, the most cost-effective, and the best discount."

Gao Xiaodong asked the waiter, and the waiter told him that the roast duck at Zhaolong Hotel is not inferior to the roast duck at Juquande, but when asked about the price, Gao Xiaodong was defeated. It costs 700 yuan to eat a roast duck.

Time was tight. Father Gao did not insist on taking the bus anymore. He took a taxi to a Quanjude roast duck restaurant called Yiheyuan. He ordered a roast duck, 198, and two side dishes for a total of 248 yuan.

The meat hurts while eating, and the meat is too fatty for a while. It’s not as good as the roast duck for 12 yuan in Lucheng, and the green onion and sweet noodle sauce are too little. In short, all kinds of things are not. satisfaction.

When the meal was finished and the bill was paid, the waiter actually asked for 10% of the service fee. This made Gao's father, who had been painful, furious. He said what you all served, just add a little soup, and even cut it into 108 on TV. There is no service in the film, and I actually charge a 10% service fee. This is not a slaughter of outsiders. I want to call 315 to complain to you.

When asking for money, the waiter's attitude is very good and patient, saying, this is a rule, you look at other customers, they also have to pay the service fee.

Father Gao was really waiting to see. As expected, all the diners paid 10% of the service fee. Father Gao was helpless, so he had to pay an extra 24.8 yuan for the service fee.

Leaving Yiheyuan and coming to Zhaolong Hotel, Gao Xiaodong saw his father complaining all the time, and smiled: "This is not as happy as watching the Forbidden City."

Father Gao said: "You can't accompany us. What's the point of seeing the Forbidden City as our old couple? We eat roast duck together for a family of three. Although it was a bit expensive, I was very angry at the time. Thinking about it now, it's actually not bad."

Gao mother said: "Son, wait for you to have time, make a lot of money, and accompany us to visit Yanjing."

Gao Xiaodong waved his hand boldly: "Okay, when I become famous and rich, I will accompany you all over the world."

Father Gao resisted the feeling of tears, and said to Gao Xiaodong: "It's almost time. Go up. Your mother and I won't take you to the airport. Your mother can't see you leave by plane."

Mother Gao wiped her tears and said, "Xiaodong, remember to call when you get there. Don't be too expensive for long distances. Your dad can make money."

Gao Xiaodong wiped his mother's tears with his sleeves and said, "Mom, don't cry, it's not that I won't come back. I'm leaving, you can go back."

Gao Xiaodong gave his mother a hug, then went to hug his father. This was the first time he embraced his father since he was in junior high school.
