Chapter 14 The world evaporates, it's your own fault!
Even if Leteo thinks about it from his bottom, as the club president, he cannot publicly apologize to Hao Qiang, a player.
This approach is tantamount to self-destruction!
Rui Silva knows that if the team is relegated, he will be fired.
In order to keep your job, you have to fight even if there is a glimmer of hope.
So he showed reason to Leite and moved him emotionally.
"Mr. Chairman, this is not an issue between you and Hao Qiang. Haven't you seen the reaction of the fans in the past three weeks?
What do other teams in the Portuguese Super League talk about us?
If you can come forward and apologize publicly, this will stop the loss and restore some of our club's image and reputation.
If you do nothing, have you ever thought about how the club will recruit players in the future?
Now you are not apologizing to Hao Qiang, you are saving Trophy, and you are expressing your stance to our players and fans!"
Although Troffi is small, it still has fans. Since there are fans, the fans cannot be just simple and simple fans. Inevitably, there will be a small group of extremists.
In recent days, extreme fans have protested in front of Leteo's house, disturbing his life and making his family feel uneasy.
Leteo was in a state of distress when he heard Rui Silva's advice and took advantage of the situation, no matter how much he resisted, was unwilling, or even felt humiliated.
But he still has to take into account the overall interests.
He is the majority shareholder and chairman of the club. If he wants to run this club, he must coax the fans.
On Tuesday morning, Portugal's "L'Equipe" and "Record" simultaneously published Leteo's public apology letter.
Although there were only a few words of apology to Hao Qiang, most of them expressed their apology to the fans.
But in the end, I gave an explanation to the public.
Rui Silva then called Hao Qiang again.
No one answered!
Rui Silva was heartbroken.
The chairman publicly apologized and paid Hao Qiang his salary.
Is it Hao Qiang’s turn to fulfill his promise?
He was absent-minded all day long.
I called Hao Qiang 18 times in 8 hours, but none of them got through.
When he went to look for Hao Qiang in person in the evening, Hao Qiang was no longer in the gym. Then he went to the nearby field court, but he also didn't find Hao Qiang.
Although he had an ominous premonition in his heart, Rui Silva still killed Hao Qiang and went to the apartment he rented.
The door was almost broken and no one opened the door.
The surrounding neighbors chose to call the police.
The landlord shows up.
Tell Rui Silva a piece of news: Hao Qiang quit the rental the day before yesterday!
Rui Silva was struck like a bolt from the blue.
Now I really don’t know where to find Hao Qiang!
Evaporated.
The next day, Leteo didn't find out that Hao Qiang had returned to the team, so he immediately came to the club and called Rui Silva into the office.
"Where are the people?"
Leteo also guessed a little bit, but still asked sternly.
Rui Silva looked haggard.
He felt that he had been tortured for more than half a month and was about to have a mental breakdown.
If you don’t cherish it when you have it, you will be sad when you lose it.
Trophy doesn't have a good hand.
But at the lowest point of the season, they suddenly discovered that they had a king in their hands!
If you encounter any opponent, you can win by throwing him away!
But they happened to lose Wang Zhong again.
In the 4 rounds without Wang Zha, there were 1 draw and 3 losses.
It originally only needed 6 points to definitely avoid relegation, but now it is about to usher in the final game of the Portuguese Super League.
Even if you win, you may not be able to avoid relegation!
Besides, people are distracted. Who can give them the confidence to win a life-and-death battle?
What a sin!
Rui Silva told Leteo how he went to find Hao Qiang yesterday but failed to find him.
After hearing this, Liteo became so angry that his veins popped out and he threw his cup in the office.
"He actually tricked me! I'm going to sue him! I want the Football Association to suspend him! So he can never play football again!"
Rui Silva looked at Leteo, who had gone from being rude to abnormal. He sighed deeply in his heart, and then left the office silently.
...
Hao Qiang left Trophy.
It doesn't really matter to him whether Leteo will publicly apologize.
He didn't care, and he never thought about going back to show off his power.
He has that free time, so he might as well do something serious.
At the invitation of Mendes, Hao Qiang came to Porto.
I visited his company headquarters to learn more about his capabilities.
Before Hao Qiang formally signed the contract with Mendes, Mendes gave him an overview of his current transfer situation.
In fact, all three giants in the Portuguese Super League are interested in Hao Qiang.
But there is no way to give Hao Qiang enough playing time, and even teams like Porto are more inclined to loan him out.
In addition to the three giants, at least five clubs also hope to introduce Hao Qiang.
With 8 goals, 4 assists in 5 games, and a personal performance of 12 goals, Hao Qiang has gained enough fame in the Portuguese Super League.
But the Portuguese Super League teams outside the wealthy clubs can't give much.
So Mendes could only turn his attention to the five major leagues.
As for places like the Eredivisie, the situation will only be similar to Portugal, and the results may not be better.
The Premier League requires labor certification.
Serie A has a quota limit for non-European transfers.
The technical threshold in Spain is higher than that in the Portuguese Super League, and it is obviously difficult for Hao Qiang to impress too many teams in this regard.
This is no longer the era ten years ago, when you could knock on the club's door with a videotape of your goal highlights.
Once Hao Qiang is required to go for trial training, it will only consume more time.
Only the Bundesliga and Ligue 1 remain.
Mendes found a suitable home for him.
After signing the contract with Mendes, Mendes' assistant took a photo of the two shaking hands.
Then Mendes hugged Hao Qiang and walked out.
"I have arranged a hotel for you in Porto. You should follow the same pace as in Troffi and train well. If you have any needs, you can call me directly.
I have to get your transfer done before June comes. The next period will be my busiest time. You can also leave the phone number of my assistant, they will also serve you."
Hao Qiang actually has no other requirements, he just hopes to sign with a new club as soon as possible.
Mendes will be very busy. When the mainstream European leagues end, he will have to travel all over Europe, and the most important thing is the transfer of his number one superstar Ronaldo.
Although Hao Qiang is not ranked among his clients, Mendes will not neglect him.
Hao Qiang’s situation is particularly special.
Free transfer.
This kind of transfer cannot be delayed.
As time went by, the target club began to wonder: If he was really so good, why didn't other clubs take advantage of him first?
A quick fix is best.
Hao Qiang temporarily settled in Porto.
Train every day as usual.
...
May 24th.
The final match of the Portuguese Super League.
Royal Damadi Stadium.
Ferreira, who is ranked lower in the middle of the Portuguese Super League, faced Troffi's challenge at home.
The Ferreira fans have a relaxed mentality, and the team will not settle for a high level or a low level. They have nothing to ask for as long as they are undefeated at home in the final game.
But Trophy needs a life-saving 3 points to have any hope of at least qualifying for the relegation play-offs, and with better luck, he can reach the top.
More than a thousand Trophy fans who came to the away game thought that after Chairman Leteo publicly apologized to Hao Qiang, the team would see Hao Qiang in the final game.
They firmly believe that if Hao Qiang is in the team, then they can at least qualify for the relegation play-offs.
At that time, they will compete with Portuguese Liga teams for a spot in the Portuguese Super League. With Hao Qiang here, is playing in the Portuguese Liga not a dimensionality reduction attack?
But they didn't see Hao Qiang when the team's starting players came on the field.
Not even on the bench!
At this moment, all Trophy fans, whether they were at the scene or watching the game in front of the TV, felt like a bolt from the blue.
I felt uneasy in my heart.
Hao Qiang didn’t come back!
Coach Rui Silva stood on the sidelines as if he had become a different person in a month, a little older, and the complacency of last month had long since disappeared.
At this time, his brows were furrowed, as if he had seen through destiny and knew that a disaster was coming.
The game begins.
Trophy needed a victory, so he played proactively.
Eduardo returned to the main center position, but followed the team through 1 draw and 3 losses in the past four league games.
Even Troffi fans despise him for playing like shit.
The morale of the whole army was depleted, and Troffi fought hard, and the defense line was full of loopholes.
Ferreira originally had no killing intent, but he couldn't hold off Troffi and the backcourt was wide open.
At the end of the half, Ferreira already led Troffi 2:0.
Everyone in Troffi was in danger, and the players also lost their fighting spirit.
Fans in the local area have chosen not to watch the game. They do not believe that there will be a miracle in the second half.
The extreme fans gathered again and rushed directly to the door of Liteo's house to start a crazy insult!
It's not that Trophy fans cannot accept the team's relegation.
There were even psychological expectations halfway through the season.
Their performance at that time was indeed not worthy of the Portuguese Super League.
As long as the team is united and fights to the last minute, they will not have any complaints against the team if they are relegated.
But the key is that the appearance of Hao Qiang made them realize that the team has the ability to avoid relegation.
And the situation was once very favorable to them.
But the club chairman banned Hao Qiang for profit.
Maybe Leteo is overconfident.
I think Troffi can successfully avoid relegation unlike Hao Qiang.
Reality slapped his face mercilessly.
This is unacceptable to fans.
Hao Qiang wanted to leave, and they absolutely understood.
Even if you don't leave a penny of transfer fee for the club, then why didn't Troffi not sign him for a longer period last year?
Trophy, who had lost his fighting spirit, chose to play dead in the second half of the game.
Ferreira also accepted it as soon as possible.
At the end of the dull and uneventful game, Rui Silva turned silently and walked towards the tunnel.
He still doesn't understand why the team has reached this point.
The hope of Mingmingsheng is in your hands.
In the end, I have to choose to go to death!
Trophy's local fans were furious.
Because Setubal won the final game, Troffi was overtaken, and the 30 rounds of the league were settled.
Trophy ranks second from the bottom in the league and will be relegated directly!
Fans yelled and cursed in front of Liteo's house. The police came to maintain law and order, but the fans refused to leave.
Chaos breaks out in Trophy.
...
May 31st.
Hao Qiang left Porto by flight accompanied by Mendes.
