There is a dream called football

Porto.

A port city in northern Portugal facing the Atlantic Ocean, it is also the second largest city in Portugal. It has convenient transportation, a good climate, and the winemaking industry is its specialty.

In football circles, what makes Porto famous is the Porto team with the same name as the city and the team's home stadium, the Dragon Stadium.

Before coming to Portugal, Li Qiao heard that Spanish and Portuguese are very similar. It is said that if you can understand Spanish, you can almost understand Portuguese. But maybe his Spanish is too bad. After arriving in Porto, Li Qiao still only

Able to communicate with local people in sign language and English.

After getting into the taxi, Li Qiao took out the business card Sosa Correa left for him and said, "Hello, uncle driver, take me here."

“Seagull Restaurant.”

"You know?" Li Qiao wondered.

"I know that at Sosa Correa's restaurant, there are a lot of people looking for him at this time of year, and most of them are foreigners."

Li Qiaohan, it seems that he has a lot of interests in him.

After a 20-minute drive, I came to the restaurant and saw that it was not big in size. It was the kind of roadside restaurant that is very common in many European cities. You could tell it was old at first glance.

When I walked into the restaurant and sat down at a table by the window, a tall, beautiful woman with brown hair came over.

"Hello, what do you want to eat?"

Li Qiao said embarrassedly: "I'm looking for Mr. Sosa Correa. We met in Madrid."

The beauty laughed, turned around and shouted: "Dad, someone is looking for you."

"dad?"

Li Qiao glanced at the beautiful woman's face and said nothing.

Soon, Sosa, wearing an apron and a chef's hat, walked over quickly. He showed the enthusiasm of the Portuguese as soon as he came on. He gave Li Qiao a big hug.

"That's great, you're really here."

Sosa turned to his daughter and said, "Lorinda, come on, have a roast pork knuckle and a beer."

Lorinda said unhappily: "Dad, you are not doing your job all day long. It seems that our restaurant will not be passed on to me."

This restaurant has been passed down to the fourth generation of Sosa, but Sosa loves football. Although it is impossible for him to fly on the court with his size, he still dreams of football. 10 years ago, he became a part-time

As a scout, I started my football career.

Sosa patted his daughter and said, "Son, these people will bring daddy income sooner or later."

Lorinda put her hands on her hips, "Really? You haven't sold a single player in 10 years. There are quite a few people who have been freeloading on you in the past few years."

Sosa was a generous man, and he would treat all the players who came to his door to dinner, back and forth, for a long time, Lorinda saw it in her eyes and felt anxious in her heart.

Li Qiao's arrival seemed to be the straw that broke the camel's back. Lorinda grabbed Li Qiao's arm and said, "Get out of here."

"Also, dad, stop dreaming, you are not scout material."

At this point, Sosa's originally smiling face suddenly froze and turned into a bitter look. He himself felt ashamed of his daughter. For so many years, he had not even sold a single player as a scout, so

Therefore, I did not get the CD and became voluntary labor.

Li Qiao, who was standing aside, was a little embarrassed. Logically speaking, it was difficult for an upright official to deal with household matters, so it was better for him not to interfere in such matters.

but……

He glanced at Sosa and probably understood what was going on. Football is not an easy business.

Li Qiao took out a hundred yuan and said, "Lorinda, I don't want to eat for free, can I pay first?"

Lorinda was stunned. This actually made her feel quite embarrassed.

Sosa regained his smile and said, "Daughter, is this the last time? I can guarantee that the person I like this time is really different."

Lorinda finally came to a new level, but she still said stubbornly: "You said the same thing last time. It's not like you don't even look down on the Porto Youth B team."

sweat!

Sosa and Li Qiao looked at each other, and Li Qiao's one hundred yuan passed through Sosa's hand and was handed to Lorinda.

She didn't answer, "Okay, last time, I'm treating you this time, but this... is from..."

"China." Li Qiao immediately answered.

"If this friend from China can't be chosen again, then Dad, you can run the restaurant with peace of mind from now on."

"OK."

Sosa Correa was not afraid of heaven or earth, but he was afraid of his precious daughter.

Li Qiao started eating a portion of roasted pork knuckle and a portion of beer. He hadn't eaten anything since he started in the morning, so he was really hungry.

Eat and drink.

Li Qiao said: "When can we arrange a trial training? Can I see Jose?"

Sosa Khan.

"Don't think about Porto's first team for now. I know Ilidio Valle, the head coach of team B. I will take you to see him tomorrow."

Li Qiao nodded. The rules of European football are like this. Young people who have not proven themselves in the top league must start in the second team.

"What is the trial training? Do you know?"

"It's similar to what you played at Real Madrid. The styles of Portuguese football and Spanish football are actually similar. You should understand this."

Li Qiao hummed, not knowing whether to tell the middle-aged man in front of him about his rejection of Real Madrid's b-pair.

After thinking about it, I decided to forget it. It doesn't make any sense. Everything will depend on tomorrow's trial training.

"I'm not familiar with the place here. Please help me find a hotel, a cheaper one."

Sosa patted his chest and said, "When you come to Porto, why should you stay in a hotel? Of course you'll stay at my house."

Li Qiao chuckled and glanced at Lorinda who was not far away. This woman was beautiful, but she was always cold and looked like it was difficult to get close to her.

"Forget it, I don't want you to be scolded by your daughter."

Sosa turned around and said with a slight embarrassment: "Lorinda's mother and I have been separated for a long time. I have spoiled her for so many years and have become accustomed to it. I am not afraid of you laughing at me. I am only afraid of my daughter in this world."

"Ha ha."

Sosa whispered: "But don't look at Lorinda's fierce appearance, but she is actually the kindest, so don't worry, she won't watch you sleeping on the street."

Li Qiao smiled and nodded.

It is said that it is not strange to have a lot of people. Li Qiao did not follow Sosa home, but went shopping first and then came to the door.

When Lorinda saw Li Qiao buying her favorite rose chocolate, she knew that her father had leaked the secret.

"I'm sorry about what happened during the day. I'm not targeting you, but I think my father is not suitable for this."

"I know." Li Qiao smiled.

"But this is the first time he has hired an Asian."

"Ha ha."

Even if Li Qiao didn't send chocolates, Lorinda had already laid out the quilt for Li Qiao.

"I've prepared your room for you. Just tell me if you need anything. Also, I wish you a successful trial tomorrow."

Li Qiao nodded. This was his first night in Porto. He didn't sleep well. I wonder how his parents are in China? I also miss my good brother Raven in Madrid.
