Three days have passed in Roma's final, but Gao Xiaodong, who stood in the passage and witnessed the team being swept by Barcelona, ​​still could not cheer up from the huge blow of failure.

At that time, Gao Xiaodong left the court with a red card, Messi took the penalty kick. He deceived goalkeeper Helton and shot the ball into the lower right corner. The score became 2:0. Then Porto's morale was in chaos and was repeatedly attacked by Barcelona during the attack. In the end, the score was swept by Barcelona at 0:4.

Porto has no power to fight back against Barcelona. The only thing worthy of praise is that Messi only scored 1 goal, which saved Gao Xiaodong the honor of the best scorer.

In the Portuguese Cup final three days later, Porto, whose physical fitness and mentality were affected, was in extremely poor condition. He still tied with the weak Ferreira after 90 minutes. If it weren't for Gao Xiaodong's strange fallen leaves in the second half of the overtime game, Porto might even fall at Ferreira's feet and lose the Portuguese Cup championship.

After winning the Portuguese Cup, most of Porto players threw the Champions League defeat behind their heads and happily celebrated the third championship with the fans. Only Gao Xiaodong plucked up a few times and went back to the locker room.

During the dinner, seeing Gao Xiaodong still feeling depressed, Ferreira came over to comfort Gao Xiaodong, "Xiaodong, don't think about the Champions League anymore. You still have a chance to win the Champions League. The one who should be sad is an old guy like me. If you miss this time, you may never have the chance to win the Champions League again."

Gao Xiaodong said regretfully: "Coach, now when I think about it, I think we still have a chance."

Ferreira shook her head and said, "Our chances are very small. Even if we defend the game, we can't hold on. In fact, it is an unexpected surprise to be able to reach the final. We can beat Manchester United and Arsenal because Manchester United are in poor form and Arsenal's main players are missing too many."

Club manager Diogo walked over with a wine glass and said with a smile: "No one blames you for Xiaodong. If you lose, you will lose. This is normal. It is abnormal that we won Barcelona. Have you read media comments recently?"

Gao Xiaodong and Ferreira both shook their heads. After the game, they, including most Porto players, did not dare to read news comments, and many people even turned off their phones.

Diogo said: "There are very few critics from the outside world, but they are just praising Barcelona. Everyone knows that it is normal for us to lose. The Champions League championship is not prepared for small clubs. Mourinho was able to win the championship in 2004 because his opponent was Monaco. If he reached the final, Milan and other giants such as Real Madrid, miracles would definitely not happen."

Gao Xiaodong said: "You don't need to comfort me, I understand, but losing is always uncomfortable."

Diogo said: "Well, time will make your wound heal. Xiaodong, come and have a drink. I would like to thank you on behalf of the club. Going to the final has brought great gains to Porto. Don't think about so much unhappiness anymore."

Gao Xiaodong poured a glass of champagne and fucked Diogo. Then other club executives and teammates came to cheer to Gao Xiaodong, comforted him, and said blessings to him. At this time, Gao Xiaodong realized that this wine might be apart.

When he got home, before Gao Xiaodong's butt was hot, Mendez arrived.

"What's wrong? I'm still thinking about the Champions League. Don't think about it. You're only 19 years old and have a chance. It's already amazing to be able to reach the final with Porto. You still want to be so shady." Mendes sat down on the sofa with a giggle.

Gao Xiaodong said: "In fact, if we defended the game at the beginning, there might not be no chance. Only after Barcelona scored a goal did we lose the chance to win."

Mendes smiled and said, "Don't complain about Ferreira, he is at this level. Even if he sticks to the deadlock, he will still make mistakes. Okay, if you don't talk about this, I'm here to tell you good news."

Gao Xiaodong leaned lazily on the sofa and said, "What good news can be found now?"

Mendes said with a smile: "Your wonderful performance in the Champions League touched Nike. Nike readjusted their offer, 9 million euros in five years, doubled the original one."

When Gao Xiaodong heard this, his spirit came soon. Nine million euros, that was 90 million yuan. As long as he agreed, the billionaire's dream would be realized immediately.

Gao Xiaodong is a grassroots person. He is less than 20 years old and can have a net worth of 500,000 and 600,000 euros. He is still very satisfied. However, after Chen Qiang wanted to buy a club and he planned to buy a house in the imperial capital, Gao Xiaodong felt that he was too poor and had to make money quickly. "How much is the offer from Adidas?" Gao Xiaodong asked.

Mendes frowned and said, "Adidas is too arrogant. He is only willing to give 6 million euros in five years. I think they can be eliminated."

Gao Xiaodong pondered for a moment and said, "How is this Nike offer?"

Mendes said: "Full sincerity, Nike's annual sponsorship fee to World Footballer Ronaldo is 4.5 million euros, Nike's sponsorship fee to Kobe is 7.5 million euros, and LeBron's 9 million euros..."

Gao Xiaodong was a little anxious and said, "Why are there so many people playing basketball and golf, and so few people playing football?"

Mendes spread his hands and said, "There is no way. Nike is an American company. NBA has a greater influence in the United States. Nike also gave Tiger Woods 16 million a year. You can't compare this way. If you look at Messi, you will be much happier, because Adidas only gives Messi 2 million euros a year. Of course, this time Messi won the Champions League, and the sponsorship fee will probably be a big leap. You can get 1.8 million euros a year, which is very good."

Mendes thought Gao Xiaodong would agree readily, but he didn't expect Gao Xiaodong to say, "Is there any floating clause?"

Mendes thought about it and said: "Roth has scored 30 goals per season, and will add 500,000 euros."

Gao Xiaodong said: "This floating clause is good. Mr. Mendes, has he scored 40 50 60 goals and added more sponsorships?"

Mendes laughed and said, "You have a lot of ambitions. You think scoring goals in the five major leagues is as easy as the Portuguese Super League, but if you say that, I will mention it to you."

Gao Xiaodong thought about it and said, "Sign up for three years, I think my five years are a bit long."

Mendes' expression seemed to not know Gao Xiaodong anymore. He thought to himself, this kid was crazy and he didn't make any money. He had to sign a three-year short contract. If you were to be fooled, I can't get over it. He said: "Five years are Nike's starting contract. If you don't want to, you might as well float in the next two years and increase or decrease sponsorship fees based on your performance. How about it?"

Mendes wanted to scare Gao Xiaodong, but he didn't expect Gao Xiaodong nodded repeatedly and said, "No problem, just like that, Mr. Mendes, when will he sign a contract with Nike? When will he call me the money?"

This kid was not anxious at all last time, but this time he was a little impatient. What did he want to do for this money? Mendes said slowly: "Nike is ready, and you are waiting for your signature." "Okay, that's Nike, no, Mr. Mendes, I also endorsed a football shoe in China. Will this affect the signing of Nike? "Gao Xiaodong suddenly remembered the sponsorship contract with Uber.

Mendes frowned when he heard this, "Why didn't you say it earlier? That would definitely have an impact. How much is the sponsorship fee over there?"

Gao Xiaodong scratched his head and said, "There are three years, 100,000 euros and commissions over there, and there are two years left in the contract."

Hearing that the sponsorship fee was so small, Mendes breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let's go back and discuss with your domestic agent, terminate the contract with Uber, and give some compensation. Wait for the contract with Nike here first, you can get it done and sign the contract here."
