During the halftime break, Figo also praised the players very much, but he had no intention of changing the formation, and instead asked them to continue their attacking momentum in the second half.

After the exchange of venues, the Portuguese team still maintained sufficient offensive firepower, causing the miscalculated Linassar team to be in a hurry again. As the game progressed, they also had some physical problems.

In the 72nd minute, after Li Zhao intercepted the opponent's ball near the center circle, he found that no one was marking him, so he boldly made a run. After passing the opponent's defender, he faced the goalkeeper who came up in a hurry.

At that moment, he discovered the flaw in his pace and decisively shot through the crotch. The ball passed through the goalkeeper's wicket and then entered the goal behind him.

4-0, Li Zhao helped the team take a big lead and also completed his hat trick.

Seeing that the situation was over, the Linassar team gave up their resistance, replaced players with weak physical fitness, and replaced them with some young people to train the team.

And Figo no longer persisted. Seeing that the overall situation was decided, he both replaced Li Zhao and Henrik who performed well today, allowing them to accept the cheers of the fans.

Since both sides sent off their main players, the balance was restored for a while.

In the 87th minute of the game, Gabriel's shot from the penalty area once again penetrated the fingers of the Linasser goalkeeper, helping the team increase the goal difference and also score his first goal in the league.

In the end, the Portuguese defeated their opponents 5-0 at home, which also brought a successful end to this little New Year's Eve battle.

Li Junsheng also organized the video in a timely manner and sent it back to China with the edited content. Soon, the title of the article was "Chinese players shine in Brazil, performing a hat trick to defeat their opponents"

The article became popular all over the Internet, and the click-through rate also increased rapidly. In a very short period of time, it exceeded 10,000, and it even entered the top ten list of domestic search links the next day.

Before this, Li Zhao's popularity was still limited. After all, although the previous World Youth Championship rarely caused a hot spot in China, the overall market attention was still weak, so it is not surprising.

However, some people greatly praised this report, while many others expressed doubts.

Some of them even said after finding out that this game was just the Sao Paulo State Championship in Brazil: "Clicking the headlines, I have never heard of this kind of league, it must be bad, you are trying to trick me into clicking!"

However, most of the people who questioned were not optimistic about him. After all, there were too many examples of players from country C studying abroad, and most of the players declared their failure soon after, even if there were a few who managed to persevere.

The results are basically unsatisfactory.

Even some people who were originally optimistic about him also have their own doubts, and they have asked questions on the Internet: I don’t understand why Li Zhao doesn’t go to the five major leagues to develop. Even if he can’t play in the top leagues, he can play in the next level; at worst, he can do it.

It is other European leagues, but they chose the South American league, and it is still a secondary league to start. How unconfident is this!

However, one netizen supported Li Zhao, thinking that his approach was very steady and might eventually achieve unexpected results, even surpassing many of his predecessors. However, his voice was quickly drowned out by other voices.

Li Zhao might have been affected by these voices in the past, but for him now, he would just laugh them off, and now he has no time to pay attention to them. After the game, he cleaned up, and then pulled and

The family went to have New Year's Eve dinner together, and of course they brought along all the people from the Chinese Zodiac and the club.

The venue for the New Year's Eve dinner was chosen to be a large-scale restaurant in the local Chinatown. Since it has a good reputation and it coincides with the Spring Festival, the business is also extremely prosperous. If we hadn't made a reservation in advance and reserved a venue, I guess this

There will simply be no way to seat so many people right now.

"This restaurant looks decent, but I feel that the taste is not authentic enough. It is not as good as what we cook in the cafeteria." After taking a few bites, Taoist priest Zhao Hong put down his chopsticks helplessly and said.

"Yeah, I'm used to eating Chinese food, and even I don't think it's authentic." Doleza also said.

"Grandpa, Xiao Sa, there is nothing we can do about this. After all, this is overseas and cannot be measured by domestic requirements. In addition, in order to cater to the locals, many things have already changed. It's almost ok. The worst is to let the canteen be used when we go back.

Let me turn on a small stove for you." Li Zhao said.

"This is not a problem. My uncle's restaurant here will soon open. He has invited many chefs from China to cook. By then, he will try all eight major cuisines. What do your people want to eat?

We can take care of everything.

And Li Zhao, didn't your club get a new piece of land? When the time comes, we will allocate a piece of land to us, which can be used to open a chain store. Moreover, my uncle is planning to hire me as the manager of the Sao Paulo branch!" Hu Xiaolin said suddenly. She and

Zhou Xiaoxia didn't go back this New Year, so she was called over by Li Zhao.

"I can't tell that you are quite big-hearted, but this is not a problem. In my plan, a whole industrial chain will be formed around the club, with many opportunities. So I am not afraid that you will come to take over, but I am afraid that you will not be able to take it.

!" Li Ruolan, who is currently in charge of club development, responded.

"Does that mean I have a place?" Ouyang Jingkang also became interested.

"You can bring your investment company branch here, and everyone will have the opportunity. It is a piece of land covering an area of ​​80 acres, which happens to be a small hill near the fishing port. So in addition to most of the area on the hill being used as a training base

, the whole area under the mountain can be used for commercial development." Li Ruolan said and spread out a drawing, through which everyone can clearly see the scope of the club's new venue.

"Oh, it would be great to open a seafood restaurant here!" Hu Xiaolin's thoughts came to life again.

Her words also made several people smile.

"By the way, Mom, the preparations for your traditional Chinese medicine clinic have been completed. When will you move in?" Li Ruolan asked Zhao Xueqin at this time, and she suddenly remembered this matter.

"Since everyone is here, it should be sooner rather than later. Let's start on the second day of the new year!" Zhao Xueqin replied.

"Isn't this too rushed?" Li Zhao asked.

"It's okay, one of the people in the team wants to finish his work and go back early!" Zhao Xueqin said.

Before midnight that night, Li Zhao also received a lot of text messages and blessings, and he also sent a lot of messages himself, of course, mainly to contact relatives and friends who were not around.

First of all, it was the uncle’s family. They said that business is quite busy during the Chinese New Year period. If they can finish their work during this period, they will take their children to visit them in St. Paul.

Then came Xu Genbao. After delivering a New Year's greeting, he also asked about Li Zhao's recent situation.

"Everything is fine, and the club is starting to get on the right track," Li Zhao replied.

After a while, Xu Genbao sent another message: "That's good. After this new year, your fellow disciples and brothers will come to report. You have to take good care of them then, and of course you can't be spoiled.

I also saw the video of your game today. You performed well. I also saw you wearing that headscarf. How about it? Is it the right size?"

"It's great! I will take it to the battlefield." Li Zhao also smiled and wrote back.

Then came a letter from Wang Ziyi: "Happy New Year, Brother Zhao, you played very well in tonight's game! This video has become popular on the Internet, and it is estimated that it will occupy the cover of the sports edition tomorrow. But for you,

There are a lot of bad words on the Internet, and those people know nothing about it and they just know how to spray it."

Li Zhao smiled and sent back a message: "Happy New Year! I only know what you said, but it's nothing. You can't make everyone like you. I'll give you a word: go your own way.

A road that leaves others speechless.”

After a while, there was a reply from the other side: "This is awesome, I like it. By the way, Brother Zhao, we will come to your place to report after the Chinese New Year. If we count on time, you will have two more rounds."

We can join in. This time, there are many friends who came with me when I played together. You will have to make room for us in the team when the time comes!"

"You must be fine. We currently lack a defensive general like you in the team. As for the others, it depends on their abilities. After all, I have to treat everyone equally." Li Zhao responded.
Chapter completed!
