Chapter 52 Red Packet Reappearance
When Gao Xiaodong was struggling to fight in the Portuguese Amateur League, all the students from Class 13 of Lucheng No. 3 Middle School also received the admission letter from the university.
Key high schools are key high schools. The admission rate of Lucheng No. 3 Middle School this year has reached 97%, and the number of students who are online at the first-tier university is the highest in the city. Regardless of whether the university is good or bad, almost all students have colleges to attend.
Some people are very happy to get the admission letter, while some people are very troubled to get the admission letter.
Zhang Shanhu belongs to the category of troubles. He volunteered to Yanjing Normal University for the first time, but this year's admission scores of Yanjing Normal University were extremely high this year. He did not admit it and was directly awarded the second-tier Confucius Normal University.
Wu Lei belongs to the happy type. He took the risk to report to the Provincial Normal University and was admitted as he wished.
Zhao Xiyuan is the kind who is not surprised or happy. She applied to Yenching University, the best university in China, and was admitted to Yenching University without any surprises.
While chatting in the QQ group, Li Xiu said: "We have all received the admission letter and school will start soon. At that time, we will go our separate ways. We don't know when we will get together again. Let's find a place to get together now."
Li Xiu's proposal was unanimously agreed by everyone, and then he discussed vigorously where to get together and what to eat the most. Suddenly, a classmate said: "It's a pity that Gao Xiaodong can't come, otherwise it would be perfect."
Li Xiu said: "Gao Xiaodong hasn't bubbling for a month. You have such a good relationship with the football team. Do you know what he is doing?"
Although Gao Xiaodong has not contacted his teammates recently, Zhu Daqiang didn't want other classmates to think that their teammates had become unfamiliar, and said: "He is busy with training, competition, learning Portuguese and English. He is very busy, so he has no time to talk nonsense with us."
Li Xiu said: "No matter how busy you are, you won't be able to even take out a few minutes of chat time."
Another classmate said, "Gao Xiaodong has been doing well and doesn't want to play with us anymore."
Li Xiu said: "Isn't it just going abroad to play football? What's so great? Look at the class monitor, they have all been admitted to Yenching University, and they are different from talking to us in the group."
The classmate who had just spoken then said, "Speaking of this, Gao Xiaodong is really a legendary figure in our No. 3 Middle School. He has been selected by the Star of Hope and has also gone abroad to play football. I heard that the subsidy alone is 500 euros, and I have made a fortune."
"Oh, it's so annoying."
"This fat man is so lucky. His grades are always at the bottom. In the end, he passed the college entrance examination and was able to play football abroad to make a lot of money. You said God is not very good at all."
"I'd been playing football as well if I had known."
Everyone is a new high school student, and they take pocket money from their parents. They are envious and jealous of someone who can earn 500 euros now. Before, everyone was still hotly discussing Zhao Xiyuan's entrance exam in Yenching University, but now the center of the topic has become Gao Xiaodong again.
Suddenly a classmate said, "I have a friend who knows a player from the Star of Hope. He heard that Gao Xiaodong was eliminated and no club is willing to ask him. Now he plays amateur league in Portugal and may be sent back to China soon."
This sentence was like a scoop of cold water pouring into a pan of oil, and the group suddenly exploded.
"What? Zhao Pu, is this true or false?"
"Zhao Pu! You can't talk nonsense!"
"How could I get eliminated when I get there?"
"There are subsidies for playing in the amateur league? Are you bragging?"
"Now many overseas agency are scammers, maybe Gao Xiaodong was cheated."
"That's a bad luck. If you can't get a college here, you'll be cheated there again. This joke will be a big joke."
"In China, playing football is not reliable, or studying and going to college is reliable."
Gao Xiaodong has always been the pride of the Class 13 football team. When Zhao Pu said that Gao Xiaodong was going to play the amateur league, the last time Gao Xiaodong said in the QQ group was a lie, and the team members were very unhappy.
Wu Lei said: "Zhao Pu, you have to be responsible for your words. If a person's reputation has been corrupted, it will not be saved."
Sun Haitao also said: "It is better to wait until the facts come out before talking about this kind of thing, after all, it is related to the reputation of the person."
Zhao Pu sneered: "I heard this with my own ears. In fact, you think that you have played football for several years and have not been selected. Why did Gao Xiaodong be selected to play football abroad after playing for a few months? There must be something tricky about this. Maybe someone behind him, but now he is abroad and has no use of his relationship, and his true form has emerged."
Sun Haitao said: "How do your friend knows the players of the Star of Hope? You're bragging."
Zhao Pu said anxiously: "My cousin is from Blue Island. He and the person from Hope Star are elementary school classmates or neighbors. This matter is still fake."
The members of the 13th team stopped talking. At this point, the more they explained Gao Xiaodong, the more they would play the opposite role. It would be better to remain silent.
Originally, the classmates in the class were envious and jealous of Gao Xiaodong. Now they heard that Gao Xiaodong was eliminated and played in the amateur league. Unfortunately, some were gloating, some felt balanced, some were sad and sympathetic. Everyone was talking and feeling complicated. No one mentioned Li Xiu’s proposal for the party again.
The class monitor Zhao Xiyuan, who had been diving, suddenly said, "Don't talk about Gao Xiaodong anymore. Zhao Pu's cousin has heard that when Gao Xiaodong comes back, the truth will be revealed. Let's talk about the party."
Zhao Xiyuan was once the class monitor and was admitted to Yenching University. She had an unprecedented prestige. She said this, everyone gave face and continued to discuss the party.
...
Time flies. In a blink of an eye, more than two months have passed. The first three consecutive victories have been won. The Portuguese Chinese team has won 10 consecutive victories, from the second to the last to the first place in the group, becoming one of the strongest teams in the Lisbon region. Next, according to the Portuguese amateur league system, as long as the Portuguese Chinese team defeats the first EDP Electric Power Team in another group, the Portuguese Chinese team can become the first place in the Lisbon region and get the chance to participate in the national finals.
The power team is of great strength. Most of their players have participated in professional and semi-professional leagues and are also teams that are expected to win the national championship. The Portuguese-Chinese team is not sure of winning, and both sides are just 55.
The first round was played at the home court of the Electric Power Team. Facing a strong opponent, the Portuguese Chinese team adopted a relatively stable defensive counterattack tactic and tied with the Electric Power Team 0:0 on the away game.
0:0 is not a good result, but it cannot be considered bad. However, the factor that is not very beneficial to the Portuguese Chinese team is that Gao Xiaodong suffered a minor injury in the last game. When he jumped up to head the ball, he was hit by his opponent with his elbow and twisted his ankle.
A week later, before the second round of the game began, Zhang Mingsheng said to Gao Xiaodong: "If you can't play, don't play, don't leave any hidden dangers."
But Gao Xiaodong said: "It's okay, Coach Zhang, my ankle is already well."
Zhang Mingsheng said: "Take off your socks and I'll take a look."
Gao Xiaodong took off his socks. When Zhang Mingsheng saw that there were some black bruises on it, but it was no longer swollen. It should have been cured. He said, "Be careful this time. If the sprain is further, the ligaments of the ankle will be loose, which will be very troublesome in the future."
"I will be careful." Gao Xiaodong nodded and said with a smile.
This game is the end of the month again, and the players of Hope Star returned to the training base of the Portuguese Chinese team and were also on the sidelines as they did last time. However, because Gao Xiaodong got angry last time, they just stood on the sidelines to watch this time and dared not speak coldly anymore.
In the first game, the Electric Power Team tied 0:0 with the Portuguese Chinese team. In this away game, the Electric Power Team had to score two goals before they could beat the Power Team. So before the game, the Electric Power Team formulated a set of offensive tactics to prepare to compete with the Portuguese Chinese team.
The first one to kick off the ball was the Portuguese Chinese team. Gao Xiaodong, who was still wearing a bandage, quickly rushed forward after passing the ball back, completely ignoring his teammates' follow-up or not. In the Portuguese Chinese team, Gao Xiaodong was a nail that penetrated the opponent's hinterland. He used his strong body to hold the teammate's passing ball, and then passed it to the player who inserted it to organize the attack.
The ball was passed back to the full-back. Zhang Mingsheng, who was playing as a full-back, found that Gao Xiaodong had already run to the opponent's 30-meter area. He also looked back and looked at it. He immediately made a long pass to find Gao Xiaodong.
The long pass range was long and lacked suddenness. The opponent's midfielder came over to compete with Gao Xiaodong for the header. Last time it was Gao Xiaodong who was injured by his elbow, and he didn't even take a yellow card.
This time, the electric power team's back midfielder was even more courageous. He jumped hard and gave the fat man another elbow when he tried to fall. However, Gao Xiaodong suffered a loss once. If he suffered another loss this time, it would not be Gao Xiaodong.
Gao Xiaodong seized the opportunity and hit his shoulder directly on the chest of the electric team's back when he jumped up.
The power team's back half-in-law was already off the ground, but it had not yet risen. Although he was tall and strong, he had no place to leverage his strength and was directly knocked away by Gao Xiaodong.
This time it was stuffy in my chest, and the electric team's back midfield almost closed and lie there and gasped heavily, unable to move.
Gao Xiaodong stopped the ball in his chest and shot angrily without waiting for the ball to land.
This kick shot out the most beautiful kick that Gao Xiaodong has ever played so far. The ball almost didn't turn and flew straight to the upper right corner of the goal.
The goalkeeper saw Gao Xiaodong going deep into the middle and his teammates went to grab the spot. He didn't take this offense seriously. He stood in front and was a little off. When Gao Xiaodong shot, he wanted to return to save the ball, and it was too late. The ball flew into the net like lightning.
1:0
