Restricted Superstar

Three days have passed since the finals in Rome, but Gao Xiaodong, who stood in the passage and witnessed the team being swept by Barcelona, ​​still could not recover from the huge blow of defeat.

At that time, Gao Xiaodong left the field with a red card and Messi took a penalty kick. He tricked goalkeeper Helton and shot the ball into the lower right corner. The score became 2:0, and then the Porto army was in turmoil, and Barcelona continued to counterattack in the offensive, and finally the big score of 0:4 was swept by Barcelona.

Porto has nothing to fight back against Barcelona. The only thing that is commendable is that Messi scored one goal, which kept Gao Xiaodong as the top scorer.

In the Portuguese Cup final three days later, Porto, whose physical mentality was affected, was in a very poor state. After 90 minutes with the underdog Ferreira, it was still a tie. If it weren't for Gao Xiaodong's weird fall in the second half of overtime, Porto might even be able Planted at the feet of Ferreira and lost the Portuguese Cup.

After winning the Portuguese Cup, most of Porto players lost the Champions League defeat and happily celebrated their third championship with the fans. Only Gao Xiaodong returned to the dressing room with a few palms.

At the dinner, seeing Gao Xiaodong still unhappy, Ferreira came to comfort Gao Xiaodong, "Xiaodong, don't think about the Champions League anymore. You still have a chance to win the Champions League. It should be an old guy like me who should be sad to miss this time, I am afraid There is no chance to win the Champions League again."

Gao Xiaodong regretfully said: "Coach, thinking about it now, I think we still have a chance."

Ferreira shook his head and said: "Our chances are very small. Even if we start the game, we can't keep it. In fact, it's a surprise to be able to reach the final. We can win Manchester United and Arsenal only because of Manchester United's status. No, Arsenal has missed too many main players."

The club manager Diogo came over with a wine glass and said with a smile on his face: "Xiaodong no one blames you. If you lose, you lose. This is normal. It is not normal for us to win Barcelona. Have you read the media comments recently? "

Gao Xiaodong and Ferreira both shook their heads. After the game, they, including most of the Porto players, did not dare to read the news reviews, and many even turned off their mobile phones.

Diogo said: "The outside world criticizes us very little, just touting Barcelona. Everyone knows that it is normal for us to lose. The Champions League was not prepared for small clubs. Mourinho was able to win the championship in 2004 because The opponent is Monaco. If the giants like Milan and Real Madrid enter the final, the miracle will definitely not happen."

Gao Xiaodong said: "You don't need to comfort me, I understand, but losing is always uncomfortable."

Diogo said: "Well, time will heal your wounds, Xiaodong, come to a toast, I thank you on behalf of the club, and reaching the finals has brought great gains to Porto. There is no need to think about so many unhappy things. ."

Gao Xiaodong poured a glass of champagne and worked with Diogo, and then other club executives and teammates came over to toast Gao Xiaodong, comforted him, and said blessings to him. At this time, Gao Xiaodong realized the possibility of this meal. Just separate the wine.

Back home, Mendes rushed over before Gao Xiaodong's buttocks were hot.

"What's wrong, I'm still thinking about the Champions League, don't think about it, you are only 19 years old, there are opportunities. It is already great to be able to take Porto to the finals, you still want to be black to the end." Mendes laughed. Sat down on the sofa.

Gao Xiaodong said: "In fact, if we defend ourselves at the start, we may not have no chance at all. After Barcelona scores, we lose the chance to win."

Mendes laughed and said: "Don't complain about Ferreira. He is at this level. Even if he sticks to the stalemate, he will make mistakes. Okay, let's not talk about this. I'm here to tell you the good news."

Gao Xiaodong leaned back lazily on the sofa and said, "What good news can I have now?"

Mendes smiled and said: "Your wonderful performance in the Champions League touched Nike, and Nike re-adjusted their offer to 9 million euros in five years, which is twice the original."

As soon as Gao Xiaodong heard it, his spirit came immediately, nine million euros, that's 90 million yuan, as long as he agreed, the dream of a billionaire could be realized immediately.

Gao Xiaodong is a grass-roots background. He is still very satisfied with a net worth of five to six hundred thousand euros when he is less than 20 years old. However, after Chen Qiang wanted to buy a club and he planned to buy a house in the imperial capital, Gao Xiaodong felt that he was too poor. Now, you must make money as soon as possible. "How much does Adidas offer?" Gao Xiaodong asked.

Mendes frowned and said: "Adidas is too arrogant, and only willing to give 6 million euros for a five-year long-term contract. I think they can get out."

Gao Xiaodong pondered for a moment, and said, "How about this Nike offer?"

Mendes said: "With full sincerity, Nike's annual sponsorship fee for World Footballer Luo is 4.5 million euros, Nike's sponsorship for Kobe is 7.5 million euros, and LeBron is 9 million euros..."

Gao Xiaodong was a little quick-eyed, and said: "Why do so many basketball and golf and so little football?"

Mendes spread his hands and said: "There is no way, Nike is an American company. NBA has a greater impact in the United States. Nike will give Tiger Woods 16 million a year. It can't be compared. If you look at Messi, You will be happy, because Adidas only gave Messi 2 million euros per year. Of course, this time Messi won the Champions League. The sponsorship fee is estimated to be a big leap. You can get 1.8 million euros per year, which is very good. "

Mendes thought Gao Xiaodong would readily agree to the meeting, but he did not expect Gao Xiaodong to say: "Are there any floating clauses?"

Mendes thought for a while, and said: "Luo has 30 goals per season and will add 500,000 Euros."

Gao Xiaodong said: "Such a floating clause is good, Mr. Mendes, have you scored 40, 50, and 60 goals to add more sponsorship?"

Mendes laughed and said: "Your ambition is not small, you think it is as easy to score in the five major leagues as the Portuguese Super League, but if you say so, I will give you a mention."

Gao Xiaodong thought for a while, then said: "Signing for three years, I think five years is a bit long for me."

Mendes looked like he didn’t know Gao Xiaodong anymore. He said to his heart, this kid is crazy, he doesn’t make any money he has, and he has to sign a three-year short contract. I can’t make trouble with the money. "Five years is Nike’s initial contract. If you don’t want to, then you might as well float it in the next two years and increase or decrease the sponsorship fee based on your performance.

Mendes wanted to scare Gao Xiaodong, but Gao Xiaodong nodded and said: "No problem, that's it, Mr. Mendes, when will you sign a contract with Nike? When will the money be called to me."

This kid was not in a hurry last time, this time he was a little impatient. What did he want this money for? Mendes said unhurriedly: "Nike has everything ready, just wait for you to sign." "Okay, it's Nike, no, Mr. Mendes, I also endorsed a football in China. Shoes, will this affect the contract with Nike? "Gao Xiaodong suddenly remembered the sponsorship contract with Uber.

When Mendes heard this, he frowned, "Why didn't you say it earlier, it must have an impact, how much is the sponsorship fee over there?"

Gao Xiaodong scratched his head and said: "There is a three-year 100,000 euro plus commission over there, and now there is a two-year contract left."

Hearing that the sponsorship fee was so small, Mendes heaved a sigh of relief, and said: "Look back, you can discuss with your domestic agent, terminate the contract with Uber, and give some compensation. Here is the contract with Nike. When it's done, we will sign a contract here."

Gao Xiaodong said in frustration: "Well, it can only be so now."
