Chapter 36 The Big List

When Gao Xiaodong came on the court, the team members were conducting shooting training while running.

"Fatty, come on."

Li Qianjin saw Gao Xiaodong walking into the stadium and passed a high-altitude ball at the bottom line to Gao Xiaodong. He ran quickly towards the front of the penalty area, preparing to take the next pass from his teammate.

Gao Xiaodong looked up and saw the ball coming. He subconsciously raised his legs and removed the ball in front of him. He took two steps horizontally, pulled his feet and shot. The ball roared and flew straight to the goal.

"These two moves are done well, keep going!"

Wang Dong saw that Gao Xiaodong stopped the ball so quickly and shot so accurately without preparation, and he thought it was accidental. However, Gao Xiaodong could quickly and accurately stop the ball in place almost every time, and the shooting, passing and dribbling movements were more skillful, which surprised Wang Dong and thought, could this kid's basketball skills have improved again? No, in just one night, why did he suddenly make such a big progress? Could it be that there was a foreign scout watching him and he was in a state?

Andrews on the sidelines were also secretly surprised. During the provincial capital game, the fat guy's skills were still very immature. He stopped the ball slowly and was far away, had unstable dribbling control, and failed to pass the ball. Now he looks much better. It's only been less than two months. Can he make progress so fast? Andrews is a little confused.

After practicing shooting, the last exercise is the group confrontation exercise of 11VS11. The players are divided into two groups, put on red and yellow vests, and play a 40-minute real-life game.

Andrews took out the camera and pointed it at Gao Xiaodong, preparing to take Gao Xiaodong's game video back and study it carefully.

Gao Xiaodong got a pass from his teammate at the beginning. With him as a heavy weapon, his teammates will definitely pass the ball to him and organize an attack in front of the opponent's penalty area.

The opponent's No. 8 midfielder knew that Gao Xiaodong had great strength and was not easy to grab the ball after protecting it. He planned to use his steal when he stopped the ball. According to the original judgment of No. 8 midfielder, he arrived just when Gao Xiaodong stopped the ball, but No. 8 did not expect that Gao Xiaodong's current movements were much faster than before. When he arrived, Gao Xiaodong had already stopped the ball and changed direction. No. 8 just saved the ball.

After passing No. 8, Gao Xiaodong dribbled the ball and headed straight to the opponent's penalty area.

The defender retreated and was about to steal when Gao Xiaodong made a mistake in dribbling the ball, but Gao Xiaodong did not get entangled with him. He pushed the ball horizontally and shot, but passed the ball to his teammate who was inserted and quickly penetrated into the penalty area.

The teammate gave Gao Xiaodong an over-head ball, and Gao Xiaodong squeezed out two defenders who were about to close the goal like a bulldozer, and pushed the ball into the goal.

This is a typical Gao Xiaodong-style goal, but from Gao Xiaodong's stop, dribbling, passing the ball to squeezing the defender's shot, Gao Xiaodong's every move was half a beat faster than before, and every time he handled the ball was more reasonable. An insider could see at a glance that Gao Xiaodong's current level is a little higher than the team members around him.

Wang Dong opened his eyes wide in surprise. His condition was too good, almost completely different from the original Gao Xiaodong. It turned out that Gao Xiaodong's football skills were much worse than those of the team members. Now, Gao Xiaodong's technology is not worse than that of the team players at all, but he is more experienced in handling the ball. Obviously, he can't explain it with good condition.

As the game continued, Gao Xiaodong performed even better. It turned out that with experience and strength alone, Gao Xiaodong could compete with his teammates in the city. Now that he has improved his skills and has richer experience, he will compete with the team members in the city, just like adults fighting children. After only half of the training game, Gao Xiaodong staged a hat trick.

Now Wang Dong was sure. Gao Xiaodong got enlightened overnight. This technique seemed to be less than that of professional players. He was very pleased. He felt that he had achieved results in training for Gao Xiaodong during this period. At the same time, he felt that Gao Xiaodong had such a good understanding. If he went to Portugal for three years, he would not be able to enter the top five European leagues, but he might not be able to gain a foothold in the Chinese Super League when he returned.

Andrews, who was photographing the sidelines, was even more excited. Gao Xiaodong's technical awareness was still very bad in his eyes, but the football understanding was so good. In less than two months, Gao Xiaodong's technical awareness has been improved to a higher level. If this continues, there is hope to enter a higher-level professional football world.

After the training, the players went to the restaurant to have a meal. Wang Dong took Gao Xiaodong, Andrews, and Han Haijun to a hotel outside for dinner, and invited Chu Qingdong, deputy director of the Sports Bureau, to accompany him.

Chu Qingdong was very happy that Gao Xiaodong was attracted by Portuguese scouts. He strongly supported Gao Xiaodong to play football abroad. In order to let Gao Xiaodong feel at ease to play football in Portugal, Chu Qingdong said: "Xiaodong, don't worry about not being able to go to college if you are not good at playing well. I will help you with a sick leave. If you can't become a professional player in three years, continue to go to college."

"That's great, Director Chu, thank you so much."

Gao Xiaodong was overjoyed when he heard this. He was not worried about whether he could become a professional player. What he was worried about was that his parents would be very sad to know that he would not go to college to play football. Since he could not delay both, Gao Xiaodong had no worries.

Wang Dong smiled and said, "Teacher Chu has helped you so much, why don't you bring a glass of wine to Teacher Chu."

"How can I take one cup? I have to take three cups."

Gao Xiaodong went over and respectfully brought the wine glass to Chu Qingdong.

Chu Qingdong smiled and said, "My blood pressure is a little high, so I dare not drink too much, but I must drink a few more today."

Wang Dong sighed, "I really didn't expect that Gao Xiaodong would be noticed by foreigners."

Chu Qingdong laughed and said, "I said four months ago that Gao Xiaodong can become a professional player."

Wang Dongdao: "It's not so sure yet. It depends on Xiao Dong's development in Europe. It's actually not easy to become a professional player. Sometimes, an injury can change the fate of a genius."

Chu Qingdong sighed and said, "Yes, I think Xiaodong is still very brave."

Wang Dongdao: "Porto is now the strongest club in the Portuguese Super League, and the youth training is the best. If Gao Xiaodong can go to the Porto youth team to train, the hope of success will be greater."

Chu Qingdong said: "This Mr. Andrews is Porto's scout. He is interested in Gao Xiaodong. Tell him if he can keep Gao Xiaodong in Porto for training."

Wang Dongdao: "Well, the teacher is right." He said to Andrews: "Mr. Andrews, after these 40 young players from the Hope Star program arrived in Portugal, are they randomly assigned to clubs at all levels or based on their potential and ability?"

Han Haijun translated Wang Dong's words to Andrews, who replied: "It is allocated according to the players' potential and ability, as well as the club's requirements."

Wang Dongdao: "Mr. Andrews, you are interested in Gao Xiaodong. Can you take him to Porto?"

Andrews said: "Gao Xiaodong is selected as a 60-person list, and it will take a screening before the 40 hope stars in Portugal can be decided."

ah!

Wang Dong, Chu Qingdong and Gao Xiaodong were all surprised and surprised. They thought this was the final selection result, but they did not expect that they would have to go through another screening.

Gao Xiaodong said worriedly: "The 60 candidates are 40, and the difficulty is similar to the college entrance examination."

Wang Dong pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that it is not difficult to choose 60 people for 40 people, but it may not be necessary, because many people may not be willing to go to Portugal for training."

Chu Qingdong and Gao Xiaodong asked anxiously: "Why, why would anyone not want to go to such a good opportunity?"

Wang Dongdao: "Good opportunity is for you, but it may be a dilemma for others. Some people have already entered the club's reserve team. You say it is better to go to Portugal to train for three years, or to wait to enter the first team. In the reserve team, familiar with teammates, and under the coach's nose, it is easy to get on the position. If you are not famous in Portugal, it may not be easy to enter the Chinese Super League and the Chinese League."

Chu Qingdong has worked hard in the sports world and the system for many years, and immediately understood, saying, "There is still a great opportunity to say that Gao Xiaodong."

Although Gao Xiaodong seemed to understand, since Wang Dong, a former professional player, said this, it was probably true, and he became happy again.

After dinner, Gao Xiaodong told his parents about this. At first, Gao's father firmly disagreed. Later, he heard that he played football abroad for free and did not delay returning to college. He immediately became moved. He repeatedly questioned Gao Xiaodong and called Director Chu. He agreed that Gao Xiaodong would go abroad to play football.
