World's No.1 Football Manager

Chapter 464 Gao Yuan's "Phone Gate"

Joao's earth-shattering long shot finally rewritten the score to 1:0
There was not much time left in the first half, and soon, the referee blew the halftime whistle.

Although Maritimo took the lead, the home crowd at the Dos Barlores Stadium were not pleased.

Not dissatisfied with his team, but very dissatisfied with the referee.Not to mention those malicious fouls by the visiting team, but the home team scored 4 goals, and the final score was 1:0!

Who could bear such an open-minded bully at the door of his own house!

There were shouts, boos, and whistles in the stands, and many people threw lighters, keys and other sundries at the referee.

The experienced security guards at the Dos Barores Stadium held up a few umbrellas and escorted several "blind" referees, avoiding the indiscriminate bombardment overhead, and rushed all the way back to the locker room.

Gao Yuan stared coldly at the backs of these referees fleeing in panic.

At first, he wanted to kick open the door of the referee lounge, so that he could reason with these guys.

But soon he suppressed this impulse, not because he was good at concentration, but because he knew very well that it was useless.

These guys have no grudges with me in the past, and they have no grudges today, but they suppressed the home team so unscrupulously, they must have been instructed by the people behind the scenes.

And the person behind this scene must be a big boss in the football circle who they can't afford to offend!

However, according to Gao Yuan's analysis, the person who directly entrusted them was not Mendes.Because although Mendes is powerful in the transfer market, his role in the bureaucratic system within the Football Association is not obvious.If he had promised to benefit the referee, the referee would not dare to brag about it so openly, because the Football Association has a monitoring system within it.

To make these referees so unscrupulous, it must be a big boss within the Football Association.They can control the internal management of the Football Association and influence the referee monitoring system.And this person is most likely the so-called friend of Mendes!

Although the same goal by different routes, in the final analysis, it is Mendes' fault, but because the parties are different, the methods of handling are different.

If Mendes came forward to make the power-money deal in person, then even if he is Mr. Hu’s private detective, he would have to find out clues. Once it is announced, what awaits the football predators will not only be ruined, but may even be imprisoned.

But if it is an administrative order from the head of the Football Association, it will be difficult to obtain evidence, because in the bureaucratic system, it is very likely that it will not be stated explicitly, but a few words will be hinted.

Moreover, Gao Yuan didn't want to cause a stalemate with the Portuguese Football Association. Before, he was messing around just to fish in troubled waters. Now that the fish was caught, there was no need to pollute the whole pond. It would be of no benefit to anyone to catch the fish.

However, Gao Yuan had to make his attitude clear and let the other party know that he was not a persimmon, and he couldn't just pinch it according to his temper!
You have to find out the opponent's veins and let the opponent throw the mouse.

Therefore, Gao Yuan took advantage of the intermission to call Fernando Gomez, the chairman of the Portuguese Football Association.

"Mr. Chairman, I think in the press conference after the game, I may say something that you don't want to hear."

Gao Yuan said straight to the point.

"What? Mr. Gao Yuan, don't be impulsive, you have something to say!" Gomez was taken aback.

Not everyone can threaten the chairman of the Portuguese Football Association casually, but Gao Yuan can.

Some time ago, Gao Yuan's remarks about "opposing unilateralism and hegemonism" caused a storm, inciting young people's repressed dissatisfaction with the government and society, and quickly swept across Europe.

Gao Yuan and Maritimo have become fashion symbols of fighting against authority and hegemony.

For this reason, Fernando Gomez was often interviewed by the president, prime minister and sports minister, and even UEFA and FIFA threatened that if the Portuguese Football Association was involved in political issues, it would face a ban.

Although in the end the movement turned into a pan-fashion big party, Gao Yuan wisely kept his mouth shut and hid from people's sight.

But he is like a nuclear bomb that may explode at any time. He only needs a press conference and some inflammatory remarks to revive the movement that has just died down.

At that time, as soon as Haoyuan's nuclear bomb explodes, he, the chairman of the Football Association, will have to suffer first.

Therefore, Fernando Gomez persuaded almost in a pleading tone:

"Speak up! Don't be arrogant! China and Portugal have been friends for generations, so don't do anything to damage the friendly relationship between the two countries..."

In desperation, Gomez was a little panicked.

"Who is destroying the friendship between China and Portugal? Don't talk about it like this? Even if it is sabotage, it is not me, it is your referee! Have you watched the live broadcast of this game? Bullying is not like this! This is naked hegemony, bullying and suppressing the development of small clubs! It is the discrimination and suppression of Chinese capital by international anti-China forces! It is against China and Portugal..."

"Okay! Stop talking! I'll go find out and give you a satisfactory answer as soon as possible!" Gomez's forehead was sweating.

"It's not as soon as possible! It's not to satisfy me! All I want is fairness! I hope we can be treated fairly and justly in the second half! Instead of being subjected to unilateralism and hegemony..."

"All right, all right! I'll do it right away! My God!" Gomez hung up the phone anxiously before Gao Yuan could finish speaking.

Gomez's phone call quickly reached the subordinate of the referee committee, who scolded the vice-chairman until he was bloody.

After the vice chairman finished being scolded, he quickly called his subordinates and sent out the double scolding just now.

The subordinate angrily broadcast the call again.

In the end, the start of the second half was delayed by 3 minutes.Because the referee answered an important call.

"What? Didn't you say that you want to teach the Chinese a lesson? And you want to ruthlessly... yes! yes! this time and that time, okay... I understand! Be sure, do it well! Don't worry..."

After hanging up the phone, the chief referee breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the puzzled assistant referee, and said cheerfully, "Finally, I can play this ball well!"

The assistant referees are also relieved, it seems that there is no need to take the risk of being beaten!

The start of the second half was delayed, but players from both sides and fans were waiting for the referee.

After much difficulty, several referees came to the field in a hurry.

However, although people were late, their mental state was quite different from the first half. Everyone was beaming and their eyes were wide open.

Gao Yuan observed the referee's micro-expressions and knew that his phone had worked.

I can't help being a little proud: In the past, Brother Moji used all the mafia methods to control the league by calling the door in Serie A. Now, with my lofty outlook, the phone calls determine the situation, and a few casual analysis of current affairs can easily handle the Portuguese Football Association!

I don't need to control the referee like Moji, all I need is a fair and just competition environment!
The real game starts now!
