Chapter 76 Press Conference

More than two hours later, Gao Xiaodong successfully arrived in Porto and came to the West Hotel that Porto Club had booked for him.

Porto scout Andrews and marketing director Gomez were already waiting at the hotel door.

Seeing Gao Xiaodong and his group of three, Andrews came over to say hello very enthusiastically and helped Gao Xiaodong get his luggage. Gomez stood aside with a little embarrassed, not knowing what to do.

Gomez originally had a bad impression of Gao Xiaodong. After Gao Xiaodong's trial training, he gave Gao Xiaodong a bad review, but unexpectedly, Gao Xiaodong finally entered Porto and was valued by the chairman. It is said that he signed a big contract.

However, Gomez was also very flexible and quickly confirmed the fact that since the chairman valued the fat man in China and was willing to give him a big contract, it means that he has the strength or potential. The chairman is a smart person and he rarely misjudged people. So, since it is a potential stock, he must win him well.

After Gomez changed his mind, he also came to help Gao Xiaodong get his luggage, running around and afterwards, and was very attentive.

After Gao Xiaodong settled down, Gomez said: "You have some rest first, and the signing ceremony will be held at 11:30. Andrews and I will take you to the stadium."

"Okay, okay, you guys are busy first."

After seeing Andrews and Gomez away, Gao Xiaodong was just lying on the bed. His phone rang. He opened it and saw that it was his father's. As soon as Pu answered, Gao's father immediately asked an angry question, "Xiaodong, tell me the truth, what are you doing in Portugal now? Are you playing amateur football? Is it a lie to make a million million?"

When Gao Xiaodong heard this, he knew that someone told his father about his situation abroad, but the news from the other party was obviously too late. He didn't know that he had signed a contract with the wealthy Porto. He smiled and said, "Comrade Goffyi, don't be angry in a hurry. Tell me what happened?"

Gao’s father said: “Your second uncle said you were fired by the Star of Hope and played amateur football abroad. You can cheat people by winning championships and earning millions a year.”

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "Who did you hear from the second uncle?"

Gao’s father said: “Your Brother Xiaoqiu said that his classmates knew the players of the Star of Hope in Blue Island. Listen to what they said, you are running away from the Star of Hope, if you don’t play, you will contradict the leader and be fired.”

The players of the Blue Island Hope Star? Only Yu Debao and Yang Fan were Yu Debao? Gao Xiaodong shook his head. This man was careless and unkind. He smiled and said to his father: "Dad, don't be angry. I was indeed fired by Hope Star, and I did play amateur football..."

"What? You bastard, you fool me all day long. When you return to China, I must break your legs. Come back quickly..." Gao's father interrupted Gao Xiaodong's words angrily.

Gao Xiaodong had no choice but to raise his voice and said, "Dad! Listen to me, I no longer play amateur football anymore. I have signed a contract with Porto and become a member of Porto. A press conference is about to be held..."

"Really? I'll kill you, I'll kill you." Gao's father didn't know what level of club Porto was, but the press conference was very high-end, and he immediately changed from furious to half-believing and half-doubted.

"Of course, don't believe it. Wait for tomorrow's news and buy a copy of the Sports Weekly, and the sports news may also be released." Gao Xiaodong said with a smile.

"Then what picture do you have in this year how much can you make in a year?" Gao's father was most concerned about money.

"It's a little more than before. Well, after tax deduction, it's about one million yuan."

"Ah! Really? I won't lie to me this time." Gao's father turned into a surprise.

"I said, read tomorrow's news and newspapers, and well, I'll give my Uncle Furen's house one too." Gao Xiaodong said with a bad smile.

Gao's father believed it was true this time. He suddenly became excited and said proudly: "Today I was broken by your uncle Ren in front of everyone. There are really newspapers tomorrow. I will definitely buy dozens of them. Every one of the people present today will give you one."

After Gao Xiaodong signed with Porto, his spirit and vision were high. He disdained to argue with his cousin. After hearing his father's bold words, he smiled bitterly: "Dad, is this the most important thing?"

Gao's father said, "As for it, it's necessary."

"Okay, then you can do whatever you want. You and your mother should take care of themselves and don't be too busy. Now your son can make a lot of money."

Gao’s father said, “Don’t worry, we are in good health and we can’t spend money indiscriminately. I heard that football is a food for youth, and no one can play it for the rest of their lives.”

"I understand, I'll see if I have time to go back to see you during the Spring Festival."

"Your career is the most important thing. If you can, come, forget it if you can't."

"Okay, then I'll hang up."

"Hang it, I'm still busy."

Gao Xiaodong hung up the phone, lay in bed and pretended to sleep, thinking about how to walk the road after signing the contract and how to get promoted to a D-level professional player faster.

An hour later, Andrews and Gomez came to the hotel and took Gao Xiaodong, Chen Qiang and Li Xiang to Porto's home court, Dragon Stadium.

The Dragon Stadium is the home stadium of Porto and was designed by the famous architect Manuel Salgado. The entire stadium uses steel structures, consumes a total of 2.8 million tons of steel, and can accommodate 50,476 fans. It is a five-star stadium in Europe.

The name of the Dragon Stadium has the word "dragon" because there is a dragon on the crown of the Porto emblem. However, many fans believe that the origin of the name of this stadium is related to the legend of the Doro dragon, but the official Porto government has not explained this.

The origin of the name of the Dragon Stadium is confusing, but one thing is certain, that is, the Dragon Stadium is the pride of Porto fans. Whenever there are major events and important stars join, the Dragon Stadium will become a festival for tens of thousands of fans.

However, Gao Xiaodong is certainly not a star, so there were not many fans attending this press conference held by the Porto Club for him, less than a thousand people, most of which were Chinese fans and tourists who happened to visit. In the history of Porto player franchise, this attendance rate was estimated to be a new low.

Although there are not many people coming, the Porto Club still attaches great importance to Gao Xiaodong's joining. According to previous practice, the youth player signing ceremony will be held, and the youth training director Carlos will come. However, this time, the chairman Da Costa came in person and broadcast it nationwide through the Porto Club's own TV channel.

Is the signing of a contract symbolic, the highlight or the introduction after the signing.

After signing the contract, Costa held his hand and asked the reporters on the scene to take photos. Then Chairman Costa personally introduced Gao Xiaodong to the fans and reporters.

"Today, a newcomer came to the Dragon Stadium. This is where we found a young dragon in the hometown of dragons. He is the first Chinese in the history of the Portuguese Super League and the first Asian in the history of the Porto club..."

When Costa introduced Gao Xiaodong, Porto fans in Portugal also saw Gao Xiaodong on TV. They were very disappointed. This person is too fat. Damn, young dragon? Fat dragon, can he play professional football?

At the same time, in the Sports Forum in Portugal, in the famous Cape Forum in China, the debates and doubts about Gao Xiaodong also kicked off from this moment today.

"Gao Xiaodong? Who is Gao Xiaodong?"

"Damn, does Porto also like to go through relationships? Can such a person enter? This back door is so great."

"Or the Chairman personally introduces it?! Why?"

"By the body of someone else."

"Grandma! Such a fat man can also enter Porto. Should I go to Barcelona and Real Madrid to try out?"

"How much is the annual salary? What? It is said that more than 100,000 euros? Damn it! It's too much to give one hundred yuan."

"Did we really not find anyone in our Porto club?"

"You can't say that. Since Porto chose him, it means he must have strengths that we can't see."

"I am a member of Porto and I apply to review the club accounts."

"No wonder Costa, the old fox, was investigated. Just because of the fat man he signed, there was a big problem."

"Costa is greed, but not confused. Why are you a bastard today?"

"The black store has been opened for so many years, so it's not as good as you."

"Our own compatriots, let alone fat, even if they are lame, I support them."

"You are stupid, you support me."

"I heard he was an amateur player."

"What's wrong with the amateur player? Is Klose still an amateur player? Grassroots, down-to-earth, I like it."
