Restricted Superstar

When Gao Xiaodong was worrying about how to make the game, Chen Qiang, the owner of the new amateur league champion Portuguese-Chinese team, has already received two invitations for amateur competitions.

One is the Immigration Cup competition and the other is the Lisbon Amateur League.

The Immigration Cup competition is organized by the immigration of Portugal. There are many immigrants from South America and Eastern Europe in Portugal. The football level of the Immigration Cup competition is also quite high. The Portuguese-Chinese team has only been established for more than two years, and the record is very poor and the level is very low. , So I have not been invited to the Immigration Cup.

The Lisbon City League is organized by the Portuguese Football Association and belongs to the fifth division of Portugal. The upper level of this league is the Lisbon Region League, and the next level is the Portuguese C. It is hoped that it will be upgraded to a professional league, which is close to the semi-professional level. Needless to say the level.

The amateur league championship that the Portuguese-Chinese team just won was organized by the sports company Cabrios, and the Immigration Cup is of a nature and not formal enough, so after receiving the invitation of the Lisbon Amateur City League, Chen Qiang was very happy to be able to play Portugal fifth. The first league is equivalent to entering the threshold of Portuguese professional football. If the Portuguese-Chinese team can attract better players, they may not have the opportunity to upgrade to Portuguese C.

However, when Chen Qiang participated in the Lisbon League to ask for opinions from the team, the five coaches from the Star of Hope in the Portuguese-Chinese team were not interested. They came to Portugal for training, and they played amateur football for a year. I went back to China as a coach in half a year, so I'm not interested in upgrading here.

Although Gao Xiaodong did not intend to upgrade from the fifth league step by step, this is also a way of retreat. Besides, Chen Qiang is good to him, and he has to help Chen Qiang. The most important thing is that he is in urgent need of an upgrade, so he has a clear-cut support. Chen Qiang said: "Coaches, even if you return home after the training is over, it will not affect playing in the Lisbon League. Now they give us face and invite us. If we don’t play, maybe they want to join in the future. Nope, I think we must not only play in the Lisbon League, but also in the Immigration Cup. In addition to running the team, we must also play our Chinese reputation."

Chen Qiang was so touched by Gao Xiaodong that he wanted to give him a hug right away. He clapped vigorously and said, "Gao Xiaodong said well. This is the new generation of Chinese, with ideals and pride."

Zhang Mingsheng watched the other coaches not speak, and said: "I think Gao Xiaodong's words are reasonable. Even if we return to China, there are others who will make up for it. This opportunity cannot be given up."

Other coaches saw that Gao Xiaodong and Zhang Mingsheng both supported them, and after they won the amateur league championship organized by Cabrios, they were respected and recognized by the local Chinese. This made them very happy, and everyone no longer objected. Fight as long as you can.

The Immigration Cup started before Christmas, and the Lisbon League started after Christmas. The two events had some crossovers in the latter part of the Immigration Cup, but the impact was not significant. The Portuguese-Chinese team accepted the invitation of the two events, recruited troops, and continued to fight for the championship. war.

There are 16 teams in the Immigration Cup. They are divided into four groups to play the group stage. Each group will qualify for two teams. After entering the quarterfinals, they will go to the knockout stage and finally decide the champion.

The Portuguese-Chinese team has just won the national championship of Cabrios. They have strong morale, confidence, and strength. They passed all the way, the group won all the teams, and the French and Romanian immigration teams reached the finals, but only in the finals. Right will be the Brazilian immigrant team with the largest number and strongest strength in Portugal. The hope of the Portuguese-Chinese team to win the championship is extremely slim.

When defeating the Romanian immigrants to reach the final of the Immigration Cup, Gao Xiaodong had participated in all 6 group matches and 4 knockout matches, scoring 23 goals in 10 games, and was the second scorer in the cup, second only to Fabi, the Brazilian immigrant team forward who scored 25 goals.

After entering the knockout rounds, Gao Xiaodong played two more Lisbon City Leagues. Before the final with the Brazilian immigrant team, Gao Xiaodong was only one game away from rising to the amateur S class.

This made Gao Xiaodong very annoyed. He urged Chen Qiang to contact the team for a warm-up match, but Chen Qiang and the players of the Portuguese team firmly disagreed. They are now fighting in two lines, and their physical fitness is now almost overdrawn. The last Lisbon match Most of the league substitutes, if you play warm-up matches, then the finals will not be played again.

This is the actual situation, Gao Xiaodong can not force the whole team to play a meaningless warm-up match.

There will be two matches in the Immigration Cup finals, with the Portuguese-Chinese team playing at home first.

Less than two months after winning the last championship, the Portuguese-Chinese team entered the fifth tier and once again hit the Immigration Cup championship. This was a huge stimulus to the Portuguese Chinese circle. On the day of the match, even the Chinese Embassy in Portugal Ambassador Zhang of the People’s Republic of China also came to the scene to cheer for the Portuguese-Chinese team.

In Portugal, Brazil and South America have always been the talent pool of Portuguese football. The Immigration Cup has also attracted the attention of scouts from all levels of Portuguese teams. They hope to dig out the geniuses that have been missed. This situation does not happen, as it is now. Portugal's Martimo forward Oliveira was discovered from the Immigration Cup. Now he has been spotted by Sporting Lisbon in the Portuguese Super League. It is very hopeful to log in to the Portuguese Super League next season.

Therefore, on the day of the Immigration Cup match, almost 40 or 50 scouts and 20 or 30 reporters came from outside the field. Among them, Li Xiang, a reporter from "Sports Weekly", also came.

More than two thousand fans came to the scene, which is almost comparable to the number of spectators in a fourth division league.

There are so many fans watching the game, as well as many Chinese ambassadors and celebrities in the Chinese circle, as well as so many scouts and reporters. The opponent is the powerful Brazilian immigrant team. The players of the Portuguese-Chinese team are nervous and excited. The game is completely abnormal. In three minutes, the opponent made a quick closing error and was scored by striker Faby with a lob shot.

Ten minutes later, the Brazilian immigrants scored another goal. After two goals, the game became a stage for Brazilians to perform. They continued to show off their personal skills and cooperation, playing with the players of the Portuguese-Chinese team.

After all, the Portuguese-Chinese team is not a team of young people, nor is it a team of pure amateur players. Their players are retired professional and semi-professional players, and their psychological adjustment is very fast. When the Brazilian team improvises, They contracted their formation, tried their best to avoid conceding more goals, and at the same time waited for the opportunity to fight back from the Brazilian immigration team.

The Brazilian team did not seize the opportunity to defeat the Portuguese-Chinese team. After they had played enough, they found that there was not much time until the end of the game. The match between them and the Portuguese-Chinese team was still 2:0. This score is still for securing the championship. Not enough, so the Brazilian team attacked again, trying to score a few more goals in the final time.

Due to the poor performance of the Portuguese-Chinese team in front, they thought that scoring was like trying to get something. They did not expect that when they were aggressively attacking, the Portuguese-Chinese team seized the opportunity to counterattack, and the defender found Gao Xiaodong with a long pass.

The guard of the Brazilian immigration team was playing clever when he was fighting for the top of Gao Xiaodong. He saw that Gao Xiaodong was not in good position and could not squeeze Gao Xiaodong, so he leaned against Gao Xiaodong with his body while pulling down Gao Xiaodong's jersey with one hand. .

Unexpectedly, Gao Xiaodong's strength was too great. His lean and pull didn't work. Gao Xiaodong jumped up to grab the header, and the fall deliberately knocked the Brazilian defender dizzy.

When the Brazilian defender went to chase again, Gao Xiaodong had already reached the front of the penalty area and broke through the door of the Brazilian immigration team with a kick.

This ball excited the Chinese fans who had been stumped for almost the entire game. They cheered for Gao Xiaodong frantically. Even Ambassador Zhang couldn't help asking the person next to him, who is this fat man.

Many scouts from Portuguese C and Tier 4 teams heard that the fat man was only 17 years old, and they all focused on Gao Xiaodong. They thought this Chinese player was a bit interesting and might have development prospects.

However, more scout targets are Brazilian striker Fabi who has scored 26 goals. Many people believe that the 24-year-old Fabi has the hope of becoming the second Oliveira.

Although the score of 2:1 was also very unfavorable, the Portuguese-Chinese team retained a little suspense of winning the championship. In the remaining time, the Portuguese-Chinese team contracted the defense and tried to keep the score.

However, the level of the football kingdom is indeed high. Even amateur players, there are no few people with excellent footwork. The Portuguese-Chinese team's defense did not help. When there were five minutes before the game, the Brazilian forward Fabi used a free kick. Scored a goal and locked the score at 3:1.

This score almost killed the suspense of the championship. The players and fans of the Portuguese-Chinese team were very sad. The Chinese celebrities headed by Ambassador Zhang also regretted that the Portuguese-Chinese team played well, but the opponents were too strong. But it is not without exception. The only person who is happy is Gao Xiaodong, because he has upgraded.
