Restricted Superstar

Gao Xiaodong's goal sealed the victory. Although Rexos replaced two players in a row, they still couldn't change the result of the game. In the end, Porto defeated Rexos 3:2 in the away game and won the league's six consecutive victories.

Gao Xiaodong originally planned to invite Rexos' teammates to dinner, but because his agent Mendes and Porto chairman Da Costa had already booked a hotel for his birthday, and considering that Rexos' teammates lost Feeling bad after the game, Gao Xiaodong owed the drink first.

Hotel Sagres

One of the most luxurious hotels in Porto.

Porto Chairman Da Costa reserved the largest private room here to celebrate Gao Xiaodong's birthday.

When the Porto team's luxury bus arrived at the hotel, Da Costa and Mendes were already waiting for the returning heroes at the door.

Seeing Gao Xiaodong, the chairman Da Costa did not hug Gao Xiaodong as everyone thought, but stared at Gao Xiaodong and said: If you are as affectionate as Rexos, I will be angry. You were never from Rexos.

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said: Chairman, don't be jealous, Porto has always been my favorite.

Da Costa smiled and said: Well, seeing that you scored twice and defeated Rexos, I forgive you.

Mendes shook his head and was speechless watching the unscrupulous jokes between the young and the old, who were more than 50 years apart in age.

Porto's local players are secretly vigilant. This young man cannot be offended easily. Looking at Da Costa's attitude towards him, it is like a grandfather treating his precious grandson. If he offends him, his life in Porto will probably be ruined up.

Hulk, Fernando, Guarin and other young people were envious, wondering when they would be so favored by the chairman.

Lu Qiao and Lisandro saw Gao Xiaodong and Da Costa show affection, but they didn't praise them. They were very upset, and they thought, we have been in Porto for three years and won two league championships for Porto. A Portuguese Cup champion who reached the top 16 of the UEFA Champions League twice, did not expect that in the heart of the chairman, he was not as good as a boy who did not make any contribution to Porto.

When they came to the huge private room that could accommodate more than 30 people, everyone sat down together. Da Costa said, Today is Xiaodong's 19th birthday. Today we defeated the defending champion Rexos. Two happy events happened together. Let me ask Coach Ferreira for a favor, let's celebrate together, okay?

Ferreira smiled and said: The chairman opened his mouth, how can I disagree, everyone played to their heart's content today.

Mendes made two figures of 1 and 9 and inserted them on the huge cake in the middle of the dining table, ready to light it for Gao Xiaodong to blow.

At this time, the assistant coach suddenly said: Today is Xiaodong's birthday, and there is one thing I want to mention. Before the start of the season, the coaching staff proposed that Xiaodong be the third vice-captain. The test cannot convince the public, nor can it be recognized by Porto fans all over the world. Now, after 7 rounds of the league, and 3 rounds of the Champions League, Gao Xiaodong scored 6 goals and 5 assists in the league, and scored 3 goals in the Champions League. Such a result , I think that he is completely qualified for the position of team deputy.

Ferreira nodded and said, Well, we can discuss this.

Da Costa said: This can be decided now. I brought a bottle of 89-year-old port wine, and I think the weight is not enough. If it can pass, it will be a second birthday present for Xiaodong.

Everyone heard that Da Costa brought two bottles of 1989 port wine, and looked at Gao Xiaodong in a different way.

Because there is a custom in Portugal, that is, on the birthday of relatives and friends, give the port wine of the year of his birth as a gift, or on a special day, open a bottle of port wine that is the same as the year of his birth, which is not a light gift.

Mendes saw that Gao Xiaodong didn't understand, so he told Gao Xiaodong about this custom, and Gao Xiaodong hurriedly thanked Da Costa.

Da Costa smiled and said: This is incomparable to your contribution to Porto, everyone should vote on the matter of Gao Xiaodong being the team vice-president.

I think Gao Xiaodong is completely competent as the team vice-president. His ability is obvious to all. Moreover, the attitude of Rexos fans and players towards Gao Xiaodong today also let us see his charisma. Last time I objected, but now I strongly support the coaching staff's decision.

It was Fernando who spoke. He was a staunch opponent last time, but now he has become a vanguard supporting Gao Xiaodong, and from the meaning of his words, it seems that he was conquered by Gao Xiaodong's charm.

Hulk said: I supported it last time, and now I support it even more.

Alves, the deputy of the Local Gang, said: I think Xiaodong is also capable.

After Emmanuel retired, Alves was the leader of the local gang. After he spoke, the local gang players agreed.

Seeing that the Argentine gang headed by Lu Qiao did not express their position, Ferreira said: Lu Qiao, what do you mean?

Lu Qiao pondered for a moment, did not object directly, and said: I reserve my opinion.

Emmanuel, however, was unwilling to let Lu Qiao go, and said, Lu Qiao, what do you think Xiao Dong is not good enough for a captain?

Lucho and Emmanuel had always been against each other, because Emmanuel could not play the main force in the team, and his reputation has been suppressed by Lucho. Seeing Emmanuel's provocative question, Lu Qiao became angry and said, Age, just this point, I don't think it's appropriate.

Emmanuel sneered: Last week, 21-year-old Cesc Fabregas has become the captain of Arsenal. Is he the right age? Arsenal are bigger than us.

Lu Qiao didn't speak, but the expression on his face clearly said, I just don't support Gao Xiaodong as the team deputy.

Ferreira was not happy, and said: In terms of age alone, Xiaodong is too young, but with the example of Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas, I think we are not an exception. Since Captain Lucho has reservations, I have decided that from today on, Gao Xiaodong will be Porto's third captain.

Hulk, Fernando and others applauded first, and then besides Lucho, Lisandro, and Rodriguez, the players in the hall also applauded, including young Argentine players such as Thomas.

Gao Xiaodong has been watching with cold eyes. He feels that today's situation is not accidental, but premeditated. Does the coach really want to sell Lu Qiao during the winter break?

Seeing Gao Xiaodong standing in a daze, Mendes secretly stepped on Gao Xiaodong's foot.

Only then did Gao Xiaodong wake up from deep contemplation, and quickly said with a smile: Thank you teammates, thank you coach, in fact, I'm still young, and it's nothing to be a team deputy in another ten or eight years...

Ten or eight years? This is a satire of Lu Qiao, and the players in the hall laughed when they heard it.

...But since the coach has been appointed, I will roll up my sleeves and work hard to bring the team's performance to a higher level. I am a rough person and can't speak, so I won't say anything. I will cut the cake for you to eat .”

Just after Gao Xiaodong finished speaking, Lu Qiao stood up and said, I don't feel well, so I won't eat the cake.

After speaking, Lu Qiao left the private room without looking back.

When Lisandro saw Lucho leave, he hesitated for a moment, and said to the other Argentine players, Eat, I'm also a little sick, let's go first.

Lisandro also left, but the words he said before leaving made Thomas, Faliano and other young people relieved, otherwise they would be embarrassed.

The earth keeps turning without anyone, without Lucho and Lisandro, the birthday party is still proceeding step by step, everyone is still drinking and having fun, and it is not until 12 o'clock that the players and coaches leave to their heart's content.
