Restricted Superstar

The UEFA Champions League group stage is over, and the round of 16 knockout matches have also come out, but the impact of the UEFA Champions League continues.

Before the final round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, because Porto’s opponents are second-rate in Europe and they lost miserably against Arsenal, the European media paid little attention to them. Even though Gao Xiaodong, a popular star in the summer transfer market, has scored goals from time to time. , But there is a super genius star Mesiro in the front, followed by Aguero, Benzema, Boyang, and Gao Xiaodong, known as the Chinese brother, has also been almost ignored by the prejudiced European media.

However, after the first battle with Arsenal, (Arsenal are the top giants, they have fans all over the world, and their games are also watched by all media) Gao Xiaodong, who has passed and shot, has become world football. One of the focus figures.

At this time, everyone suddenly discovered that the old brother Rough now seems to be less rough and less delicate in dribbling, but he can no longer use the "back hitting" technique in basketball to dribble the ball forward. Although passing and receiving the ball has no spirituality, But it won't stop transmitting the fault far away.

On this basis, Gao Xiaodong's shooting skills are still unsolvable. In six group matches, Gao Xiaodong scored 5 goals and 2 assists.

In the top 32 of the entire group stage, only three people scored 5 goals, and the other two were Messi and Benzema. Only Ribery, Lampard, Messi and Fabregas have assisted more than 2 goals, and any of these people is worth more than 40 million. Messi and Lampard are not for sale.

Even the blind have to face up to this performance. After the group stage, the UEFA official website also naturally put Gao Xiaodong in the best team of the group stage. What needs to be said is the European Ballon d'Or and the world. Mr. Football's favorite Luo was not selected.

Undoubtedly, at this time, the most ridiculed are Arsenal, Manchester United and Inter Milan.

These three teams are undoubtedly the most insightful. When the whole world focused on the superstars of Messi and Luo, Wenger, Ferguson and Mourinho all discovered the rough brother Gao Xiaodong.

Wenger, Ferguson and Mourinho actually had the best buying opportunities. When Porto was banned from participating in the Champions League, Gao Xiaodong’s price even dropped to 27 million euros. However, at this time Wenger, Ferguson and Mourinho However, Ao is worried that Gao Xiaodong has not withstood the test of the competition, and feels that Gao Xiaodong's technique is too rough, so he did not make a shot, hoping to wait for a lower price.

Now Gao Xiaodong has gone through the test of the competition and his performance is still outstanding. Unfortunately, there is no more opportunity to buy it for 27 million euros. After receiving attention from all over Europe, the above three clubs may not be able to buy it even if they calculate 37 million.

Porto general manager Diogo relayed what the club chairman Da Costa said, "Now I feel that 50 million liquidated damages are not very safe. 30 million? 30 million can only buy Hulk in Porto."

Then Diogo said that Porto was prepared to impose a penalty for Gao Xiaodong’s salary increase during the winter break.

Perhaps this is Porto’s self-hype. The No. 1 black shop in Europe often does this, but Gao Xiaodong and Hulk perform so well. Porto is not worried about not having a buyer, and naturally dared to speak loudly.

When Gao Xiaodong rushed out of Portugal to Europe and the world, Chinese domestic football's evaluation of Gao Xiaodong also completed the leap from potential new star to famous star, and then from famous star to first star.

The core of Porto, the best player in the Portuguese Super League in the future, is a very, very natural thing for Gao Xiaodong to become the number one star in China, but this span is a bit fast.

When Gao Xiaodong followed Lexos to win the Portuguese Super League championship last year, the Chinese media still regarded him as a potential new star. However, only three months after coming to Porto, Gao Xiaodong has already crossed two steps and became the first star. .

The benefits of this first star are also obvious. After the UEFA Champions League knockout draw, Chen Qiang told Gao Xiaodong in surprise that the sales of the Sword Generation series football shoes he endorsed for Uber have soared this month, and now they have sold more than 40,000 pairs. In this month, the sharp knife generation series sold nearly 20,000 pairs, almost the sum of the previous two months.

Although Uber is worried that domestic sneakers won't sell, the price is not high, only 660 yuan a pair, far inferior to Li Ning's iron series, but if this sales volume is maintained, it is very promising that the annual sales will exceed 100 million yuan.

Gao Xiaodong’s sales commission is one-twentieth. In other words, Gao Xiaodong has received a commission of RMB 1 million in the past three months, which has exceeded the fixed endorsement fee of one million.

Of course, Chen Qiang is pleasantly surprised. He is now only Gao Xiaodong’s agent in China. The high transfer fee and annual salary are not his share, only the commission from China’s commercial activities and advertising. Because Gao Xiaodong has been in conflict with the Football Association, Chen Qiang I am very worried about whether Gao Xiaodong's domestic commercial value will be affected. Now it seems that his worry is superfluous, and Gao Xiaodong's popularity cannot be affected by the national team at all.

As Gao Xiaodong’s performance in the Champions League is getting better and better, Uber’s sharp knife series are selling better and better, and more and more businesses are looking for Gao Xiaodong’s endorsement. Now Chen Qiang has to go to China in three days, even There is no time to manage things about the Star of Hope in Portugal.

The enthusiasm of the Champions League group stage lasted for more than a week. It was not until the day of the European Golden Globes that the media focused their attention on the world-famous European Golden Globes.

The European Ballon d'Or selection was founded in 1956 by "French Football" magazine. Prior to 1994, the selection was limited to European players. After 1995, it was expanded to players playing in Europe, and in 2007 it was expanded to all players in the world. The award is selected by senior reporters from the sports media of 52 UEFA members, and its status in the industry is even higher than the ia version of "Mr. Footballer of the World" decided by the head coaches of the national teams of various countries. Last year, Kaka, the Brazilian star who played for Milan, won this honor. At that time, Ronaldo ranked second and Messi ranked third.

Luo did not perform well in the UEFA Champions League group stage this season. He did not even enter the best team, but last season it belonged to Luo. Last season, Luo led Manchester United to win the league and the Champions League. In the Premier League, Luo Scored 31 goals and took away the Premier League Golden Boot; in 11 Champions League games, Luo scored 8 goals, is the official Champions League best striker, best player, European Golden Boot Award winner.

Before winning the Ballon d'Or, the vast majority of people believed that Luo was the most popular, and Luo also considered himself the best candidate for European footballers. In several interviews, Luo Du arrogantly stated that this year's European footballers and world football The husband is none other than him.

Facts have proved that Gao Fu Shuai Luo is indeed a winner in life, and he also has arrogant capital. The day before Christmas, the European Golden Globe Awards were announced. He finally became the first Manchester United player to win the Golden Globe Award in 40 years after Best. It is also the eighth player in English football to win the European Ballon d'Or. The second and third places are Messi and Torres.

Although Gao Xiaodong is a bit jealous and hateful, he also knows himself, knowing that within two or three years, he probably has no hope of competing with Luo, Messi, Kaka and others for the highest honor in football, so he can only spit secretly. In a word, when Lao Tzu rises to a superstar, he will grab all the golden **** and Mr.'s.

Although Gao Xiaodong didn't want to be his foil when Luo Jun was in the world, the media did not let him go.

After Luo won the award, Sky Sports named the top ten newcomers who might win the Ballon d'Or after Luo. Gao Xiaodong was on the list, and only ranked behind Messi, Torres, Aguero, Benzema, Bojan and other geniuses. , And ranked ahead of Anderson, Nani, Pato, and Walcott.

Later, Gao Xiaodong and Bo Yang were questioned by the fans. Many fans thought that they were not worthy of Anderson, Nani, Pato, and Walcott, while the fans of Gao Xiaodong and Bo Yang thought that their positions were actually low. , They are second only to Messi and Torres, so the fans of these stars started a melee online for ranking.

After being involved with the Golden Globe Awards, Gao Xiaodong was also uneasy. Reporters often asked him if he thought about winning the Golden Globe Awards? Are you confident of winning the Golden Globe Award? Luo won the Golden Globe Award at such a young age. Was it an inspiration to you? Is your idol Luo or Kaka?

Gao Xiaodong was asked anxiously later, and finally said: "Whoever doesn't want to get the Golden Globe Award, if you can get it only if you want, I will definitely get him three or five. In addition, I don't know Luo. he."

Gao Xiaodong's remarks were normal, but they became typefaces in the hands of the reporter: Gao Xiaodong wanted to take five golden balls, but Gao Xiaodong disdaind Ti Luo. Other interpretations have become: Gao Xiaodong disdain to win the prize, hoping that the Golden Ball will dominate for five consecutive years.

The arrogant Luo naturally didn't know that this was a reporter's problem. After accidentally seeing the news, he immediately put Gao Xiaodong in the ranks of arrogant villains.
