Restricted Superstar

Chapter 45: Dilemma

"Lisbon is here! Wake up the sleeping teammates and get off the plane!"

Li Sheng, the leader of the Star of Hope football team shouted.

"Fatty! Wake up! Portugal is here!" Yang Fan pushed up Xiaodong.

Gao Xiaodong slept soundly, with a wretched smile on his face. He didn't know what he was dreaming about.

"...Fatty! Fatty! Fatty...slap!"

Yang Fan saw that Gao Xiaodong couldn't wake up, and slapped him on the thigh.

"Ouch!" Gao Xiaodong opened his eyes in a daze, covering his face with his hands, "You hit me?!"

Yang Fan couldn't laugh or cry: "I hit your thigh, why are you covering your face? Nima, you are Rivaldo."

Gao Xiaodong had just had a very strange dream. He dreamed that he stole a kiss on the face of squad leader Zhao Xiyuan and was slapped by Zhao Xiyuan. He didn't expect Yang Fan to hit him.

Gao Xiaodong was furious, and said: "I am dreaming of marrying a wife, and the wife was beaten away by you."

Yang Fan smiled and said, "When you arrive in Portugal, I will find you a big Yanma."

Gao Xiaodong said: "Why do you want to be a madam part-time, then you might as well make money as a duck part-time."

Yang Fan punched Gao Xiaodong on the shoulder again, and said, "Fatty man, leave some virtue under your mouth."

Gao Xiaodong gave Yang Fan a punch, "Longmao, you can't show mercy to your subordinates."

At this time the plane had landed, and Li Sheng said, "Yang Fan, Gao Xiaodong, stop fighting, prepare to disembark."

"Ok."

"Already prepared."

Gao Xiaodong and Yang Fan lazily opened their seat belts, picked up their luggage, and followed everyone out.

"Wow! The airport is so small!"

"Blonde beauty!"

"There are also pick-ups! There are not many people."

...

Many of the Stars of Hope players have come to Portugal for the first time, and they all rushed to express their opinions.

Chen Qiang, president of Xinglong Sports Culture Company, explained: "The pick-up person was organized by Mr. Zhang Liang, the president of "Portuguese Chinese News" and the leader of Chinese fans, Mr. Huang An. You will need their help in Portugal in the future. You will all go to say hello."

"Hello, President Zhang Liang, and Mr. Huang An."

The players of Hope Star greeted Zhang Liang and Huang An, who were headed by the pick-up staff.

"Welcome to Portugal, Chinese football depends on you."

Huang An waved to the players with a red face.

Huang An is a native of Qingtian. He is a wholesale business and has a wholesale mall. The first Chinese football team was founded by him, Zhang Liang and Chen Qiang, and he enjoys a high reputation in the Chinese football circle.

Zhang Liang, the president of the "Portuguese Chinese Daily" said: "Welcome, you have created a football study abroad. History will remember you."

Chen Qiang smiled and shook hands with Huang An and Zhang Liang, and said, "Thank you."

Huang An said: "It's still your hardest job. We just run errands here. The accommodation has been arranged. Let's take the bus."

Zhang Liang smiled and said: "Our reporters and editors are here too, let the player coaches say something."

Chen Qiang smiled and said, "No problem, I'll pick two for you."

Chen Qiang called the captain Zhang Chi and coach Liu Xu, and asked them to accept an interim interview with a reporter from the "Portuguese Chinese Daily". He and Li Sheng organized the team members to get on the bus.

The interview soon ended. The players took the bus and browsed the exotic scenery of Portugal all the way to the training base of the Portuguese-Chinese football team-a player apartment converted from an abandoned commodity wholesale warehouse on the outskirts of Lisbon, as well as an artificial turf stadium. The players of the Star of Hope will meet here every month and train once under the leadership of head coach Scaloni.

From Yenching to Lisbon, the team members flew in the air for more than 20 hours. Most of them felt dizzy and had no appetite for dinner. After a little hastily, they went to bed and rested.

The players fell asleep, but Chen Qiang, the head of Hope Star in Portugal, and the head coach Scaloni had no way to rest. They just received the news that the 15 clubs originally agreed to cooperate with the Chinese Football Association, Porto and Bo The five clubs of Avesta, Maltimer, Avi River and Estoril defaulted and refused to accept Chinese players.

This rebellious behavior made Chen Qiang and Scaloni very angry. The 40 players who came to Portugal have agreed on a distribution plan in China. Now the five clubs of Porto and Boavista have breached their contracts. Star’s original distribution plan must be reinstated, and the opinions of 10 other clubs must be sought. Obviously, this cannot be solved at once. Portugal’s leagues and youth leagues will start battles in late August. The curtain, time is very tight.

Chen Qiang was very angry to inform his Porto scout Andrews and said: "Mr. Andrews, I don't care about other clubs, is it too much of a loss of the status of a rich club?"

Andrews was very helpless and said: "Yes, this is very unjust behavior, and it does not conform to the usual tradition of our club, but, you know, a lot of things have happened this summer, and now we have internal and external troubles in Porto. You can no longer help your country train players."

Chen Qiang is also a must-read Portuguese football news every day, knowing a series of changes that have taken place in Porto this summer, and said: "The resignation of coach Adrian will not affect the youth team."

Andrews smiled bitterly: "Mr. Chen Qiang, don’t you know that Porto has dismissed four head coaches over the past season. Now the new coach Ferreira has just taken office. He doesn’t want any changes in the youth training. He just wants to Smooth transition."

Chen Qiang said: "This is the Chairman of Porto, the great da. Costa and our Chairman Long negotiated the agreement. Has Chairman Costa also become a treacherous person?"

Andrews smiled bitterly: "Mr. Chen Qiang, do you not know the Golden Whistle operation?"

Chen Qiang said in surprise: "Operation Golden Whistle? It's been almost two years since this incident. What's wrong? Is it that Chairman Costa is in trouble?"

Andrews said with a serious expression: "It's a bit troublesome. The mayor of the professional football league, Loreiro, has been arrested. This may involve Chairman Costa."

Chen Qiang was speechless. Porto lost the championship last season. There were so many problems this summer. It is normal not to be involved in the matter of Chinese players anymore.

Scaloni is the youth coach of Benfica. Benfica and Porto are mortal enemies. He gloated: "Mourinho's 2004 Champions League and league titles are not clean. Porto should be deprived of these two titles."

Andrews sneered: "Mr. Scaroni, it's a pity that it's not you who have the final say."

Scaroni said: "History will give opportunists a fair trial."

Andrews contemptuously said: "Even if Porto is deprived of the Champions League, Benfica will not be able to win. You want to win the championship. Let's talk about it in a hundred years."

Hearing the words that he could not win the championship in a hundred years, Scaloni's face grew. In Benfica, this is a taboo topic. In 1962, Benfica coach Bella Gu, who just led his team to defeat Real Madrid to defend the Champions League. Terman asked the team to raise the salary and was rejected. The Hungarian put a "curse" when he left the team: "Benfica will not win the European championship in 100 years! This sentence was regarded as an angry word at the time, but I did not expect this sentence. Like a curse, it has affected Benfica for 44 years. After that, Benfica entered the Champions League final 5 times, lost to AC Milan twice, and fulfilled Inter Milan in the major international era and Manchester United who experienced the rebirth of the Munich air crash. In 1990, the UEFA Champions League. In the final, Benfica's legendary star Eusebio came to Gutman's grave to pray, but Benfica still failed to win a Champions League.

Scaloni said with a sullen face: "It doesn't matter whether Benfica wins the Champions League or not, at least we will never fight for the Portuguese championship next season."

Andrews disdainfully said: "Just dream, I use my life to guarantee that Porto will not be downgraded."

When Chen Qiang heard the two quarrel again, he felt annoyed and said, "Please don't fry anymore. Let's solve our problem first."

Andrews spread his hands and said: "Mr. Chen Qiang, I have said everything I want to say, and I can't do anything about the club's decision."

Chen Qiang said dejectedly: "Forget it, Mr. Andrews, you go, I will think of a way."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen Qiang." Andrews gave Chen Qiang an apologetic smile and turned and left.
