Restricted Superstar

On the second day after returning to Porto, Gao Xiaodong rode his bicycle to the Olive Branch Stadium early.

After Lucho left, Alves was the successor captain, and Risandro was the second captain. He is now the third captain. As a newcomer has just been transferred, Gao Xiaodong thinks he should look more like a captain.

However, when Gao Xiaodong arrived, he found that the newcomer had already arrived on the court and was standing with Guarin, Fernando, and Hulk talking.

The newcomer does not look tall, slightly shorter than Hulk, and not as big as Hulk, but even at that stop, he looks very sturdy.

"Hi Captain!"

"Hi team is good!"

Seeing Gao Xiaodong coming, Fernando and Hulk hurried over to say hello.

Guarin reacted a little slower, but then he walked over and said, "Hello, teammate."

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "Okay, okay, everyone is okay."

When Fernando, Guarin and Hulk went to greet each other, the rookie Falcao had been observing Gao Xiaodong.

He is not tall, very strong, with a wretched smile on his face, and looks younger than himself. I don't know how to make such a big name.

Seeing Gao Xiaodong walking towards him, Falcao greeted him quickly: "Hello, Captain, I am Falcao."

Falcao uses English. He didn't know that Gao Xiaodong would speak Portuguese. He thought that all Asians would speak English.

"Hello, Falcao, this is Gao Xiaodong."

Gao Xiaodong could speak simple English. He stretched out his hand and shook Falcao.

"I came to Europe for the first time, please take care of it in the future." Falcao and Gao Xiaodong shook hands, feeling that the captain was definitely not weaker than himself.

Gao Xiaodong could only understand simple English, and Falcao's words made him stare.

Fortunately, Fernando was clever and said to Falcao: "You speak Spanish, and the captain can understand Portuguese."

Falcao suddenly realized that he said it again in Spanish.

Portuguese and Spanish are interlinked and can basically understand each other. Gao Xiaodong understood it, patted Falcao's arm, and said enthusiastically: "This is necessary. We are all a family. Don't believe what the reporter said. What gang, you see, don’t I get along well with Fernando, Hulk, and Guarin."

Hulk nodded deeply in agreement, but Fernando had only a wry smile. There was no gang fight in his heart, and there was almost no fight at the time, but Lucho left, these things have changed, and Fernando will of course not say any more.

Everyone chatted for a few words, and the teammates arrived. This is the first time that all the players are here. The head coach Ferreira introduced Falcao to everyone, and then the training began.

When chatting with Falcao just now, Gao Xiaodong thought that Falcao was very quiet and polite, unlike his nickname, but Falcao was completely different when he was on the court. He was fast and explosive. He is as sturdy and swift as a tiger going down the mountain, especially in the group confrontation, he staged a hat trick in the 30-minute confrontation, completely unlike a rookie who just joined the team on the first day.

Ferreira was very surprised. The reality was too unexpected. Although Andrews and Mendes praised Falcao as a combination of Shevchenko and Drogba before buying Falcao, he felt that Even if it is really good, you have to adapt for a while, but now it seems that there is almost no need to adapt, because whether it is in the front of the penalty area or in the penalty area, as long as he can pass the ball to his feet, he can almost do it through his own ability. Shot.

This is different from Hulk. Hulk is physically stronger, like a bear, but Falcao is not only strong but also agile, explosive and powerful, and his opponent can't keep up with his rhythm.

After the training match, almost everyone realized that the newcomer Falcao must have a promising future, and Risandro came here as soon as possible and invited Falcao to a dinner with fellow South Americans.

Falcao had just arrived in Porto. He was not very familiar with the situation inside Porto, and he was very close to the South American fellows, so he left with Risandro and others.

Looking at the back of Risandro and other South American players leaving, Alves looked solemn and said to assistant Emmanuel: "Now Risandro is their boss."

Emmanuel said disapprovingly: “It’s okay. Now the Brazilian players and the Argentine gang are estranged. Fernando and Hulk are very close to Gao Xiaodong. As long as we win over the Uruguayan and Colombian players, the Argentine help. It won't be a climate."

Alves worriedly said: "Will Gao Xiaodong form another foreign aid gang?"

Emmanuel glared at Alves and said: "Don't think about it, you must have a good relationship with Gao Xiaodong, not to mention the relationship between Gao Xiaodong and the chairman and Mr. Mendes. Look at his current reputation and worth. How long can you stay in Porto?"

Alves suddenly appeared.

In the Portuguese Super League two days later, Porto challenged the Portuguese nationals away.

The national team is also considered to be a super traditional Portuguese team. It is now ranked fifth in the standings. Sporting Lisbon, Benfica and Rexos all hope they can block Porto. However, even in away games, Porto did not give the national team any chance. Scored two goals in each half, sweeping the Nationals 4:1.

What frightened the Portuguese Super League team was that Porto’s three South American Musketeers Hulk, Risandro and Falcao arranged all the goals. The rookie Falcao, who wore the No. 8 jersey of former captain Lucho, was even more successful. Scored twice.

This is really terrifying. The newcomer who has just joined the team for three days scored two goals against a strong enemy in the first scene. Such debuts are definitely rare in the Portuguese Super League.

Although the three forwards arranged all the goals, the best player on the spot was Gao Xiaodong.

Because in this game, Gao Xiaodong staged an assist hat trick, and another goal was also related to Gao Xiaodong.

Without the captain Lu Qiao, Gao Xiaodong has more possessions in the midfield. He uses his strong body to take the ball or make fouls. The three forwards have very strong personal abilities. As long as Gao Xiaodong delivers the ball to their feet, they It can create a threat, which invisibly reduces the difficulty of Gao Xiaodong's passing, avoids Gao Xiaodong's lack of subtle skills, and makes him look like he is in control of the midfield.

However, some media also expressed dissent to Gao Xiaodong’s election as the best player, thinking that Gao Xiaodong only played the role of a porter, transporting the ball to the feet of the striker, some of the **** were not in place, and some of the **** were not threatening passes, but the forwards Only with strong ability and strong body did he score these goals. For a weak forward, Gao Xiaodong had only one of three assists. The best player should be given to rookie Falcao.

However, this statement was quickly broken in the following Portuguese League Cup group match. The Portuguese League Cup played against Sebatur and the nationals. Gao Xiaodong caught a cold and did not play. As a result, the first game was played by Falcao and Risandro. In the goal, Porto had a difficult 2:1 victory over the relegation team Sebatur. In the second game against the Nationals, they lost 1:2, but Falcao still scored a goal.

Although this is related to Porto's underestimation of the enemy in the tasteless Portuguese Cup, but Gao Xiaodong is not there, facing the fierce pressing of the opponent, no one can send the ball to the striker's feet, but it is the root cause of Porto's poor performance.

Three games proved Gao Xiaodong’s indispensable status in Porto. Three games with four goals also allowed Falcao to quickly gain a foothold in Porto and become a super popular star in Portugal...
