Gao Xiaodong's performance in training not only shocked the coach, but his teammates also felt Gao Xiaodong's progress.

After the morning training, the players ate nutritious meals together in the base restaurant. Hulk sat next to Gao Xiaodong with a tray and said enviously: "Xiaodong, why did you suddenly get the ball?"

Gao Xiaodong said vaguely: "I don't know either. When I woke up, I suddenly understood a lot."

Fernando, who was sitting next to Hulk, had been in Porto for a long time. He knew about Gao and explained to Hulk, "This is an epiphany."

Hulk still said in a daze: "What is epiphany, sleep?"

Fernando said: "This is a way of cultivation in the mysterious East. It has been stagnant, accumulated for a certain period of time, and suddenly improved."

Hulk said with a longing look on his face: "Can Xiaodong teach me? The coach said my skills are also a bit rough."

Damn it's impossible to teach this. Gao Xiaodong spread his hands and said, "I don't know how to improve. How to teach you, you should practice hard."

Not far away, Sandro and Lucho were also whispering.

"The boy named Gao is in good condition today, and it seems that he is getting better again." Risandro said.

Lu Qiao frowned and said, "It seems that the ball has increased. I passed him a few balls with great strength. He controlled them well. If it were the case, it would have flew long ago."

Risandro said: "This kid will definitely be even more rampant in the future."

Lu Qiao didn't speak, but his expression was very unhappy. After all, the team is mainly competitive and depends on ability. Now he speaks very well. After improving his skills, he will definitely have greater voice in the team. Lu Qiao feels that his authority may be challenged.

During the afternoon group training, Ferrera specially placed Gao Xiaodong in the front midfielder and played against the captain Lu Qiao to see how Gao Xiaodong performed.

Previously, Gao Xiaodong was unable to play the front midfielder in Porto because the front midfielder needed to have various abilities such as skills, degree, vision, overall situation, dribbling, pass, breakthrough, long shot, forward insertion, assist, and scoring. However, Gao Xiaodong only had long shots, scored very strongly, with medium forward insertion and other abilities, so he had to play the back midfielder and winger.

Now Gao Xiaodong's skills, degree, vision, overall view, dribbling, passing, breakthrough, long shot, forward shot, and assisting ability have been comprehensively improved. He can't be said to be easy to play the front midfielder, but he is already fully qualified.

Seeing Gao Xiaodong buckle over two defensive players at the front of the penalty area and passing it to Hulk who was inserted into the ribs, Ferreira nodded with satisfaction, feeling confident about the game against Rexos the day after tomorrow.

Saturday's training was mainly tactical, and this time Gao Xiaodong still appeared in the front midfielder position, which made Lu Qiao alert. Does the coach want Gao Xiaodong to play the front midfielder?

Other players also have similar feelings to Lucho, but except for Guarin and Fernando, they have little to do with other players, so no one cares.

The match between Porto and Rexos on Sunday was the focus of Porto's round. This game was not only a derby in the Porto region, but also a derby between Chinese players. It was also the first time Gao Xiaodong returned to Porto to play the first time he returned to the March Stadium. It can be said that it was full of highlights.

Porto is very close to Rexos, only a dozen kilometers, so one and a half hours before the start of the game, Porto players took a bus to the March Stadium.

When he walked into the visiting team's locker room, Gao Xiaodong felt a lot of emotion. This was his first time entering the locker room as an opponent. He didn't know how to play against the group of familiar teammates, nor did he know how to face the group of fans who loved him and admired him.

Emmanur saw Gao Xiaodong's strangeness, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "This is how professional football is. No one can stay in a club all their lives, just get used to it."

The players from Porto came early. After Ferrera reviewed the tactics for the players for a while, she asked the players to go out for warm-up exercises.

Gao Xiaodong came out of the mixing channel and was stunned.

The familiar stands were full of banners, some of which read: "Fatty, welcome home!" Some read: "Fatty! Happy birthday!" The banners on the deadly stands where the red mafia were located read: "Even if you leave, we will always remember the champion you brought to us."

The stands were already full. When the fans saw Gao Xiaodong coming out of the locker room, they all stood up and applauded and shouted: "Gao! High! High..."

This is the surprise I gave. In an instant, Gao Xiaodong's eyes became wet. He left Porto's teammates and circled around the field, applauding and thanking the fans of Rexos.

The Porto players were shocked to see Gao Xiaodong being treated like this by Rexos fans.

Even Lu Qiao said in surprise: "This kid is so dirty and shameless in playing football. I didn't expect the fans to love him so much."

Risandro said: "As a person like him, the more his opponent hates him, the more his fans and teammates like him."

At the commentary seat, Chinese commentator Wang Jian wanted to sigh: "What a touching scene. This scene reminds me of the Portuguese superstar Figo. When he returned to the Camp Nou, the fans welcomed him a pig's head. When Gao Xiaodong returned to the March Stadium, he harvested the warmth of spring. The kind of cause planted will be harvested. Gao Xiaodong brought Rexos a championship that has not been seen in a century, and he also gained the gratitude of Rexos fans. He hoped that after Gao Xiaodong left Porto, he could also gain what he has today..."

Faced with this group of fans who love him, Gao Xiaodong worked very hard during training and took out all his skills to please the fans on the scene.

The fans in the stands also kept applauding until Porto warmed up and walked back to the locker room.

In the South Stand of Rexos, this is the Red Mafia's Stand, leader Alexander and his son Sandy have been applauding Gao Xiaodong.

Taylor sighed: "It would be great if the fat man didn't return to Porto. With him here, we will be sure to qualify in the group."

Alexander sighed: "No, no matter which club he went to, he belongs to our fans. Neither Rexos nor Porto will be his eternal destination."

Taylor looked at Alexander in surprise, feeling a little incredible that the rash man could say such words.

...

When Gao Xiaodong walked past the door of the home team's locker room, the door of the home team's locker room suddenly opened. Yang Fan stood at the door and waved to Gao Xiaodong, "Come in."

Gao Xiaodong walked directly into the locker room he was familiar with without any worries.

"Fatty! I really don't want to see you here."

Anguluo took the lead in hugging Gao Xiaodong.

"I don't want to, either." Gao Xiaodong said.

Then Dior gave Gao Xiaodong a bear hug: "Brother Fat, don't kick it to death when you turn around."

Gao Xiaodong laughed, "I kicked you into the pit of forgetting shit."

Brandi patted Gao Xiaodong on the shoulder and said, "Welcome home."

Gao Xiaodong said: "Thank you, Brother Brandy."

Zener hugged Gao Xiaodong and said, "How is it, have your skills improved again?"

"Fortunately, let's watch it on the court." Gao Xiaodong was rarely modest.

Zener laughed and said, "You still keep it secret."

Captain Evis walked up and down to Gao Xiaodong, looked up and down, hammered Gao Xiaodong's chest, and said, "No, very strong, and looks good. It seems that he has not been bullied when he has been in a wealthy family."

Gao Xiaodong hugged Evis and said, "Where we go, we will bully others, and where is the turn of others to bully us."

After Gao Xiaodong left Rexos, Robert completely let go of Gao Xiaodong. He smiled and said, "I have a deep sense of this."

The teammates in the locker room couldn't help laughing.

Then the old players in the locker room came to greet Gao Xiaodong and reminisce about the past, and the new players also came to go to Gao Ju for a long time. At this moment, head coach Oliveira came in.

"Oh, Xiaodong is here."

Oliveira's surprise words.

"I'll come and see my old teammates and you." Gao Xiaodong said with a smile.

Oliveira smiled and said, "You are not afraid of Porto's teammates and coach thinking too much."

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "Thinking about it, both teams know the truth, what's the secret?"

Oliveira smiled and said, "You are almost out of the way in Portugal now, and of course you won't care about us hard-working followers."

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "Coach, don't be so dedicated, okay? I'm here to reminisce about the past."

Olivera laughed and said, "Before reminiscing, I have something to give to you, Evis, bring the things."

Evis took a gift box and handed it to Oliveira.

Oliveira handed it to Gao Xiaodong again and said, "Today is your birthday. We may not be able to accompany you after the game. This is a birthday gift given to you by all Rexos teammates and coaches."

Gao Xiaodong opened it and saw it was a Patek Philippe watch. Gao Xiaodong is much better at seeing it now than before. When he saw it was a Aquanaut series watch. He knew that the price was at least 15,000 euros, and hurriedly said, "It's too expensive, I can't accept it."

Yang Fan said: "Fatty, accept it. You are now a person with an annual salary of one million euros. It is too cheap for us to give you, and you can't wear it. If you give it to someone, we will be too embarrassed."

Since signing a contract with Porto, Gao Xiaodong has been busy with training and competitions. He has hardly seen his annual salary and cannot understand the changes in his value. After hearing Yang Fan say this, he thought about it and said, "I'm just being polite."

Angulo said: "If you feel sorry for it, you can give me a BMW 5 on my birthday."

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "I'll give you a car model."

This pun word made everyone laugh again.

Although Gao Xiaodong is not afraid of Porto's teammates and coaches thinking too much, it is indeed not advisable to sit for a long time in this sensitive moment. After chatting with his old teammates for a while, Gao Xiaodong said goodbye and returned to the visiting team locker room.

In the visiting team's locker room,

Ferreira was talking about tactics to the players. When he saw Gao Xiaodong coming in with a gift box, he didn't ask. He knew what Gao Xiaodong was doing, so he continued to tell the players about tactics and issues that need to be paid attention to in the game.

When the players in Porto saw Gao Xiaodong's gift box as a Patek Philippe, many people enviously and hate him. They did not envy the value of gifts, but envy Gao Xiaodong's strong popularity and good popularity in Rexos.

The game time was soon, and Gao Xiaodong deformed his capable jersey and then put on an ordinary jersey to prevent Rexos' teammates from exchanging jerseys with him after the game.

When Gao Xiaodong came out of the locker room for the first time to warm up, his name was shouted in the stands, and this time, Rexos fans began to cheer their players.

Gao Xiaodong knew that in the 9o minutes from this moment, he was no longer Gao Xiaodong, but Porto's No. 1o player, Rexos's championship rival.

Xiao Le in the stands said to the monkey: "Will Fatty do his best in this game? The fans are so kind to him, if I definitely can't do it."

The monkey smiled and said, "I will definitely give my all. This is professionalism, and Rexos' players will not show mercy."

Xiao Le said: "It's better to have a draw, everyone will be happy."

The monkey smiled and said, "In terms of strength, Porto is stronger than Rexos, but Rexos has a home advantage, and the outcome is hard to say. I think it depends mainly on Xiao Dong's move."

After the players from both sides came out, the fans realized that Porto's formation had changed. This time it was not 433 or 4312, but a 442 formation.

Gao Xiaodong didn't play the back midfielder, the right winger, or the front midfielder. His position was the right forward, Fernando and Meleres played the back midfielder, and Lucho played the left forward.

Others don’t understand what Ferreira means to radiate this formation, but Lu Qiao is very clear that radiating such a formation is equivalent to dividing half of his power to get the ball in the frontcourt to Gao Xiaodong.

After the game started, the first goal was Porto, who played away.

After the ball was passed back, Rexos's players were about to press up and stayed at home, falling behind Porto by 5 points. Rexos was more eager to win today, so that the score difference between him and Porto could be narrowed.
