Chapter 183
The influence of the top battle between Rexos and Porto is not only in Portugal.
Although most European fans have never heard of Rexos' name, they know that the person who wants to compete with Porto for the half-time championship with the 2004 Champions League winner, was a newly promoted team, and this name was immediately remembered.
Not to mention in Portugal, even in European football, it is extremely rare for newly promoted players to achieve such a record.
Portugal's close neighbor, Spain, "As", the largest media in China, predicted the game in a relatively prominent position and also introduced Rexos.
"As" calls Rexos the strongest promoted team in Portugal, believing that this small club with a history of 100 years is likely to enter the European arena next season, and there is even hope to compete with the Portuguese Super League three top players to compete for the Portuguese Super League championship.
The most powerful English newspaper in Europe, The Sun, highly praised Rexos and strongly supported Rexos to defeat Porto.
The reporter believes that the Portuguese Super League has been dead for hundreds of years, and each time it wins the top three. The only exception is the quasi-wealthy Boa Vista. This time there is such a horse. No, two dark horses appear, but they are actually new horses. This is simply too story-oriented. Football needs such a story to appear. Only in this way can football reflect its charm.
France's "League" lists examples of the top ten newly promoted teams including Liverpool, Everton, Monaco, Kaiserslautern in the century-old football history, and says that the most recent one was Kaiserslautern ten years ago. He hopes that Rexos will work hard to be the most powerful newly promoted team in Portugal's history and engrave his name in the history of Portugal.
In China, at the beginning, almost all sports media, including television, were promoting the top battle between Rexos and Porto, and promoting the legend of Rexos's new team. Naturally, Gao Xiaodong was also hyped up as Rexos' soul and core.
However, soon most sports media with official backgrounds stopped talking about this game, as if they had never said it before.
However, on the Internet in China, the popularity of the top battle between Rexos and Porto has not cooled down due to the silence of print and TV media, and it has become more and more lively.
As many overseas Chinese fans post on the Internet, many stories about Rexos and Gao Xiaodong have gradually spread to China.
For example, Gao Xiaodong was fired by the Star of Hope. Gao Xiaodong was unwilling to even the Portuguese team in Portugal, so he could only play the amateur league. Gao Xiaodong and Porto chairman Costa’s bet, Gao Xiaodong and Mendes’ story, Rexos won the championship in a century, the most powerful player, Gao Xiaodong’s nickname for violent pandas... and other stories and allusions were learned by Chinese fans through the Internet and spread out, which also made Gao Xiaodong’s fame more famous and became a famous Internet celebrity in China.
It wasn't good to have too much noise. When Gao Xiaodong was nervously preparing for the game, Gao's father and mother also called to care about the news of his game.
"Xiaodong, I heard that what picture you want to play is very important. Fans across the country are concerned about it. You have to play well."
Gao Xiaodong said strangely: "You heard of it? Who did you hear?"
Father Gao said, "I heard from your brother Xiao Qiu. Didn't he go on winter vacation? By the way, he borrowed your car and drove it twice, and I didn't have the nerve to refuse."
"Oh, it's already winter vacation." Gao Xiaodong has now been promoted to the professional level, his reputation is gradually rising, and his future and money are bright. He doesn't care about this little thing, and said, "If he wants to, he can borrow him to drive for a few days. It doesn't matter, but does he have a driver's license?"
Gao’s father said, “Yes, I asked.”
Gao’s mother interjected and said, “Dongdong, Xiaoqiu said, “What are you the most powerful and promoted horse? You are both a cow and a horse. What is your unit? Aren’t you a football player?”
Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "I am playing football, but we also do farming in our spare time and do some side jobs. During the Chinese New Year, will we pay some benefits?"
Gao’s mother didn’t know that her son was talking nonsense and said, “Oh, let’s forget about horse meat, it’s not delicious, it’s hard, leave more beef, I heard that one has a long strength.”
When Gao's father heard his wife say these parents' shortcomings, he said impatiently: "Okay, okay, how much does a minute cost? Do you know? I'll pick up the important ones and don't tell me."
Gao's mother hurriedly said, "Xiaodong, are you going home during the Chinese New Year?"
Gao Xiaodong said: "I won't go home, I don't have time, so I'll go back when the season is over."
"Oh, you are spending the New Year alone, alone..." Gao's mother said and wanted to cry again, but the phone was snatched by Gao's father and said to Gao Xiaodong: "Don't listen to your damn, you are now bringing glory to the country and Chinese. What's the point of suffering and suffering? Play well, fans across the country are watching you."
Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "Dad, you can't be so exaggerated. It seems that if you can't play well, you will become a national sinner."
Gao's father coughed twice and said, "Well, I heard that the more famous the advertisement, the more salt the advertisement is. If you fight hard, you will be more famous."
"Dad, it turns out that you are thinking of this. I thought you had modified it." Gao Xiaodong said with a smile.
When Gao's father heard this, he immediately said with a stern face: "Don't think I am doing business, but I only seek profit. I tell you that I must be a patriotic capitalist during the War of Liberation."
Gao’s mother heard this and said contemptuously: “Bah, you are a patriotic capitalist and a businessman. You are just a seafood product.”
When Gao's father heard this, he became anxious and said, "What's wrong with seafood? Some seafood can also make millions."
Gao Xiaodong laughed and said, "Okay, Dad, I will definitely play the game well. Don't worry, you and mom, take care of your health. I will go back to see you in more than May. I'm going to train."
After the training, Gao Xiaodong returned home and saw Xiao Le and Monkey pointing at the computer to discuss something. Gao Xiaodong asked, "What are you two discussing?"
Xiao Le said: "Fatty, someone posted online that you want to reply to Porto during the winter break. Is that true?"
Gao Xiaodong was a little surprised and said, "I didn't hear Porto talk about this with me, and Mr. Mendes didn't reveal to me, what did you say online?"
More than a year and a half have passed, and Gao Xiaodong can now simply speak to the locals in Portuguese, but the Portuguese forum cannot be read.
Xiao Le said: "In the Portuguese fan forum, many posts suddenly appeared in the past two days saying that you want to reply to Porto. Below is a blockbuster discussion. Fans are paying great attention to this. I have received letters from fans one after another. I don't know if I should prove the answer, and I am just about to tell you."
The monkey said, "Fatty, if you don't even know whether to go back or not, I guess this is a rumor. I'm going to compete with Porto soon. If you post such a post, what's your intention? You are the most powerful and promoted now, and the big tree attracts wind."
Gao Xiaodong pondered for a moment and said, "I'm not very clear, but the effect of disturbing people's hearts must be. Looking back, I asked Mr. Mendes, if this really happens, he will definitely know."
The monkey said: "This matter must be resolved quickly and don't affect your military morale."
Xiao Le said: "Yes, fans are reacting very well now."
