Chapter 82 Cold reception
The next morning after Gao Xiaodong called Mendes, Mendes called Victor. Oliveira has already agreed, and is now negotiating a loan contract with Porto. If everything goes well, Gao Xiaodong will be able to report to the Rexos Club within three days.
Just as Gao Xiaodong put down his cell phone, Diogo, the manager of Porto, called and said that Rexos agreed to rent him and asked him to go over and discuss.
After the meeting, Diogo was very surprised and said to Gao Xiaodong: I can't see that you are still so energetic. Oliveira is a very individual coach. During the winter break, he said that he only needs to introduce a striker. That's enough, Robert has been introduced before, I don't know how you persuaded him to rent you.
Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, Of course it's my strength and potential that impressed him.
This thick-skinned, Diogo was speechless.
Time was tight, and Rexos Club acted very quickly. After the head coach Oliveira asked Gao Xiaodong to be loaned out, the sports director Mata came to the Porto club on the same day to find Diogo to sign the loan contract.
The loan agreement has been reached, and now the three parties are discussing Gao Xiaodong's appearance fee and goal award. Porto can recall Gao Xiaodong's terms at any time, and if Gao Xiaodong starts more than 20 games in one and a half seasons, they will bear the burden of Gao Xiaodong. Half of the salary, as well as the right of first buyout and first lease proposed by Rexos director Mata.
The right of first lease is nothing, but Diogo believes that Rexos is a player who uses Porto for free and does not want to give them the right of first refusal. However, Rexos believes that they are helping Porto train new players, and there should be such compensation.
This matter is not important, the pricing power and the power to sell or not are in the hands of Porto, so Diogo agreed to see Mata's insistence.
Both Mata and Rexos Club are not optimistic about Gao Xiaodong. Seeing that Porto agreed to their right of first refusal, they did not insist too much on the condition of Porto's recall at any time, and they agreed quickly.
Regarding Gao Xiaodong's appearance fee and goal award, Rexos was very generous, because they felt that with Gao Xiaodong's strength, there would not be many opportunities to play, and the possibility of scoring goals was even smaller, so they readily agreed Gao Xiaodong proposed an appearance fee of 1,000 euros and a goal award of 200 euros.
The key issue is Gao Xiaodong's salary. Originally, Mata, the director of Lexos, thought that an 18-year-old boy who was still from China would cost 30,000 euros at most. Fifteen thousand euros is worth it, but when I saw Gao Xiaodong's annual salary, I was dumbfounded, hold on! 200,000 euros a year! The annual salary of the Portuguese Super League substitute level! Porto is so fucking dark. It’s free on the surface, but in fact it’s still trying to cheat our Lexos. What is the 200,000 annual salary of this fat man worth? Even if the possibility of Gao Xiaodong starting 20 games is very small, the price is too high, and Rexos' sports director Mata disagrees with life and death.
Diogo saw that the transfer negotiations could not go on, so he had to ask Chairman Costa for instructions. Costa told Diogo to try to talk to Gao Li, and then lower the price a little bit.
After repeated bargaining between the two parties, the two parties finally compromised. If Gao Xiaodong starts 20 games, Rexos will pay a quarter of Gao Xiaodong's annual salary, and if there are less than 20 games, there is no need to pay.
Rexos felt that it was a loss for him to pay a quarter of Gao Xiaodong's annual salary, and refused to pay Gao Xiaodong a language teacher and rent a house. burden, so there is no longer any obstacle to signing a contract. That afternoon, the three parties reached an agreement that Gao Xiaodong would lease Lexos for free for one year starting from January 27th.
Subsequently, Porto manager Diogo held a press conference and officially announced the news of Gao Xiaodong's loan from Portuguese leader Rexos.
When Gao Xiaodong signed with Porto,
It caused a sensation in the country, and a family of fans in Haijiao Forum also had a fierce quarrel because of Gao Xiaodong. After all, he was only 18 years old. Compared with the other three Chinese players who played in the five major leagues, Gao Xiaodong could give fans more There is a lot of fantasy space, but after Gao Xiaodong was loaned to the Portuguese League, the Chinese fans were disappointed. It turned out that this fat man did not have the strength to gain a foothold in Porto. , It's just that he can't play the main force. Gao Xiaodong looks like an ordinary player.
Gao Xiaodong's loan this time is like a fan filter, some people who praised him turned into people who hated him, some people who liked him became passers-by, and some people who really liked him were still paying attention to him silently with him.
If Gao Xiaodong’s lease of Rexos was a small splash in China, then he didn’t even hear it in European football. Reporters and fans are all paying attention to Shevchenko, Ballack, and Ruikos The transfer drama of superstars such as Ta, even the transfer of the Portuguese Super League does not care, who cares about the loan of an unknown player at the Portuguese League level.
Even the Rexos fans didn't take Gao Xiaodong to heart. He was just a player on loan. He couldn't be the main force, nor was he a member of his own team. He left after a few years, who cares what he does.
Rexos, Portuguese means rocks on the coast. It is a port city in the north of Porto, which belongs to the city of Mattesinos. Founded in 1907, the Rexos Club is the largest in the city. It is also the only professional football club.
On January 26, 2007, Gao Xiaodong, Chen Qiang, and Xiao Le came to Lexos City, which is only a dozen kilometers away from Porto, without anyone paying attention. They stayed silently in the hotel that Rexos had booked for them.
The Rexos Club held a welcome ceremony for Gao Xiaodong, but Carlos, the chairman of Rexos. Oliveira did not come, coach Victor. Oliveira was busy with training and did not come. Only sports director Mata and Rexos' assistant coach Kau attended the welcome ceremony.
However, the Portuguese media are not interested in loan players of Gao Xiaodong's level. Only a few sports reporters came to the welcome ceremony, and there were no fans watching. South's fans stopped him, and the leader, a muscular middle-aged man with a beard, looked Gao Xiaodong up and down very impolitely, and said, Boy, let me tell you, Rexos is not easy to mess with.
Alexander, what do you want to do? Mr. Gao will be a member of our Rexos from now on. After reprimanding Alexander, the sports director, Mata explained to Gao Xiaodong: This is the Red Black Hand, a die-hard fan organization of our Rexos. Party, this man is called Alexander, the leader of the Red Mafia.
Red Mafia? Alexander? Nima, it’s a little stressful. Gao Xiaodong stood in front of Alexander, who was about 1.9 meters tall and about as thick as him, and it was a little stressful, but Gao Xiaodong spoke very hard, “I’m not here to mess around, I’m here to help Rexor S won the championship.
Help us win the championship? Hahaha, boy, we can win the championship without Porto's help. We beat Porto to win the Portuguese Cup 46 years ago.
Alexander and the members of the Red Mafia laughed wildly.
Gao Xiaodong smiled, and said: A hero doesn't mention his bravery in the past.
What did you say? Alexander yelled.
Gao Xiaodong was not afraid, and said with a smile, Are you deaf? Sister Xiaole, please translate again loudly.
Xiao Le translated it aloud again.
Alexander said angrily: How dare you mock us Rexos.
Gao Xiaodong put away his smile and said, I'm not being sarcastic, I'm telling the truth.
Alexander shouted again: No, we will be promoted to the Portuguese Super League this season, and we will show all the Portuguese who is the best team in the Porto region.
Gao Xiaodong smiled meanly, and said, If roaring was useful, donkeys would have ruled the world long ago.
How dare you call me a donkey!
Alexander was furious, and reached out to grab Gao Xiaodong.
The sports director next to him, Kawu, stopped Alexander with his hand and said, That's enough, Alexander, if you still want to appear on the March Stadium, stop it and take your people back.
One sentence stunned Alexander. These die-hard fans, what they are most afraid of is being banned from entering the stadium to watch the game.
Alexander withdrew his arm and said to Gao Xiaodong: Boy, I hope you can be as useful as you said.
I don't need to prove my ability to you, you can't represent Rexos.
you……
Alexander couldn't outplay Gao Xiaodong with his words, and he was afraid of being banned from watching the game, so he stomped his feet and left angrily.
Looking at the back of the red mafia leaving, Chen Qiang said with emotion: It's really a tiger falling into Pingyang and being bullied by a dog.
Gao Xiaodong laughed at himself: This is a phoenix that loses its feathers and is not as good as a chicken.
