During the period from the end of the 28th round of the league to the start of the 29th round, rumors in Portugal football were flying everywhere. First, Anna, a reporter from the sports newspaper "Issue" in the capital Lisbon, revealed four major news. First, Porto's relegation is undoubtedly relegation, and it is difficult to determine whether it is only one level or two level; second, Porto chairman 70-year-old Dacosta may spend the rest of his life in prison; third, Porto head coach Ferreira said that if the team is relegated, he will resign. Fourth, the team's main players Quaresma, Bosingwa, Lucho and others are looking for new owners. Once Porto is relegated, they are expected to transfer all of them, and Porto is likely to become Juventus in 2006.

Although Anna is a little paranoid and nervous, she is still very influential in the industry. The Golden Sweeping case has caused a major earthquake in Portugal's football world, and people in the football circle are panic, but no one dares to report unproven news. Anna's revelations are like a fuse. The entire Portuguese media rushed forward and hyped up the negative news in Porto.

Almost at the same time, rumors similar to the "Issue News" and even more exaggerated were also circulated on the Internet, and news of Porto's downgrading third level and disbanding broke out.

Although Porto's media "Record" and "Contest" desperately refute rumors and want to hold the media and reporters accountable for random reports, this is useless. The overwhelming false news has completely covered up and diluted the real news. Not to mention ordinary fans, even Porto's senior executives can't figure out which is the real news or the rumors.

Chairman Costa did not come back. In a panic, the club general manager Diogo made a wrong decision to check on the players who had contacted other clubs privately, which made the Porto players more convinced that the rumors outside were true.

Not to mention players, even head coach Ferreira is half-believing. After all, with Juventus's past lessons, he has to believe that Porto, whose fame and status are far less than Juventus, is not impossible to relegate.

In such an environment, the generals of Porto have no time to train, and their attention is waiting for the verdict of the Golden Sweep case.

The day before the game, the verdict was still not released, but what made the Porto people a little relieved was that their backbone, 71-year-old chairman Da Costa, finally showed up. Da Costa, who looked a little haggard, told fans on the TV station of the Porto club that he had nothing and that Porto would not be relegated, but he would have to rest for two years and return to the football world in two years.

After getting off the studio, Da Costa came down to the office with the help of Brazilian assistant Miranda.

Just as he sat down, Mendez came. Da Costa waved Miranda out and said to Mendez: "I'm just about to call you."

Mendes smiled and said, "Congratulations to the Chairman for returning safely."

Da Costa sighed and said, "I really didn't expect Proca to be exposed at this time. Porto could have been safe."

Mendes smiled and said, "It's just a few points deducted and a little fine. You can rest at home for two years, which is not a big harm. But Boavesta is going to be demoted, which is a good thing for Porto's development."

Da Costa said: "Have Caroline found it? I want to ask her why she did this."

Mendes said: "It was not found, Vice Chairman Caroline seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, but I have a not-so-out-of-that-that-that-that-that-that-that-that-that-that-that-that-that-that-that-that-that-that-that-that-that-that-that-that-that-that-that-that-that-that-

"What guess?" Da Costa glanced at Mendes with sharp eyes.

Mendes smiled unchanged and said, "Jealous! Because two weeks ago, I passed by her office and heard Vice Chairman Caroline call your assistant Miss Miranda, as if I knew about you."

"ah."

Da Costa showed a hint of embarrassment on his face.

Dacosta is a business wizard in the world football world. After 30 years of reign, he has established a world-leading scouting mechanism and a profit model for small-country clubs, allowing Porto not only to get the championship, but also to make a fortune in the euro and pounds.

Dacosta is not only successful in his career, but also in love. So far, he has been married twice and divorced twice. If he is a 70-year-old diamond prince, he is also dealing with the three women of three who are ex-wife Philomena, club vice chairman Caroline and Brazilian assistant and nurse Miranda.

These three women, the oldest, Philomena, is 47 years old, 24 years younger than Da Costa, the youngest, Miranda is 50 years younger than Da Costa, and Caroline, who is 39 years old this year, makes people admire the superhuman energy of Chairman Da Costa.

Da Costa was silent for a while and said, "Actually, I like Caroline more and plan to marry her."

Mendes smiled and said, "Women are the most exclusive creatures. If they can't get them, they would rather destroy them."

Dacosta sighed and said, "Yes, Caroline is very capable and has a strong temper. If she knew about Miranda and I, she could do everything."

Mendes said: "You shouldn't let her go into Porto, and you should have such an important position."

Da Costa waved his hand and said, "I won't say that anymore. Everything is over. I hope she can have a happier life."

"Yes." Mendes' eyes could not perceptibly see a hint of sarcasm, "Is the penalty result coming out?"

Da Costa said: "It's basically out. Boa Vista is the main culprit. He was demoted to Portugal. We and Leria, who was relegated to Tiexin, deducted 6 points and fined 100,000 euros. I was banned from participating in football activities for two years."

Mendes said: "When will the result be announced? It will be unfavorable to Porto's preparations for war."

Da Costa said: "I don't know, that bastard Charles deliberately did not announce it. He doesn't want us to win the championship or give a verdict. He wants to see the results of our match against Rexos. If we lose, the verdict will be announced according to the plan. If we win, the penalty may be aggravated."

Mendes said: "It seems that neither the Football Association nor the court want Porto to win the championship with a stain, so he used such a trick. Indeed, the legendary winning of the newly promoted team will be far better than Porto's defending title."

Dacosta shook his head and said, "It's nothing wrong with Rexos winning the championship. I'm worried that Xiao Dong wouldn't go back to Porto and flew away from Rexos."

Mendes smiled and said, "As long as you give enough money, it's nothing to fly."

Dacosta Yao Yaotou said, "The current Xiao Donggao cannot sell at the price. I hope he will stay in Porto for another year, just like Sporting Lisbon. Although the price seemed very high at that time, it seems to be very cheap now. However, young people always like to go to wealthy families. As long as there are wealthy families who are willing to ask him, they will definitely leave."

Mendes frowned. Mendes had his own plans for Gao Xiaodong's future, but Da Costa's words aroused Mendes' thinking. Although he is an expert in player transfers, Da Costa specializes in operating black stores for decades, and his words are also the crystallization of wisdom and experience. Which path is the most beneficial to Gao Xiaodong's development and the most profitable one?

After pondering for a moment, Mendes said, "Wait and see, maybe you're thinking too much."
