Chapter 132 Martinez's Golden Boot? Another victory!
Casemiro tapped his forehead lightly and the ball bounced in front of Jiang Yuan. He tightened his core and headed the ball into the goal in one go.

"GOLOOOOO——"

"Yuan Jiang!"

“2:0! 2:0!”

The live commentary was almost shouted out, and the entire Dragon Stadium was noisy.

Jiang Yuan slid down on his knees and rushed out of the court, while spreading his arms and sliding for about two or three meters. The on-site director gave a shot facing Jiang Yuan, which was very impressive from the perspective of the fans in the live broadcast room.

[Scoring a goal in every game? Is this Jiang Yuan?]

[Quaresma also made a contribution, this corner kick was created. But I think Casemiro's header was also very handsome, the ball bounced directly in front of Jiang Yuan's forehead, it was hard not to score]

[It's not as simple as you think. Just now, Elvado's arm was against Jiang Yuan's chest, so it was very difficult for Jiang Yuan to head the ball accurately. Of course, it went in in the end anyway, Jiang Yuan is awesome! ]

[My school is going to have a football match, let’s raise 1000 euros and have Jiang Yuan transfer to our school team, hehe! ]

[You guys are really enough. A few days ago, someone said that Jiang Yuan should play in the Chinese Super League. Now, you want Jiang Yuan to play in a college football match. Haha, have you never seen a double-digit score and want to see it? ]

[You're right. Let's not talk about Jiang Yuan's best acceleration. With his current skills, he can easily kill anyone in any league in China. If Jiang Yuan returns to China before he turns 35, I will stop being a fan.]

[Awesome, awesome! How many goals has Jiang Yuan scored in the Portuguese Super League now? If anyone knows, please tell me.]

【目前为止一线队18场比赛10球4助，其中葡超正赛7球2助攻。我刚看了一下，小江的进球效率已经是第二名了，仅次于马丁内斯的38场30球！】

[Martinez scored so many goals? He probably scored them in the Portuguese League Cup! ]

[What the hell, the captain of Porto is not just a saying, Martinez is the only one in Porto who is worth more than 3000 million euros]

[Be optimistic about Jiang Yuan, and the vote for the best newcomer in the Portuguese Super League is coming soon! Although I also like Casemiro, I like Jiang Yuan more]

……

"In the last minute of the first half stoppage time, Jiang Yuan's free kick went straight into the goal!"

"Oh, what a pity! The ball missed the goal by a hair's breadth! Porto missed a great opportunity to take a 3-goal lead in the first half!"

"Okay, the referee blows the whistle and Porto enters the locker room with a score of 2:0"

"In the 47 minutes of the first half, Porto's attack was mostly launched from the left. It can be seen that Jiang Yuan's tactical position in Lopetegui's mind is steadily rising. Also worth mentioning is Porto's loaned midfielder Casemiro. After stealing the ball, Casemiro can always find Jiang Yuan in the frontcourt in the first time and complete the transfer of the ball from his own half to the opponent's half in a short time. The cooperation between these two Porto rookies is getting more and more tacit."

"…Just now, a viewer in the live broadcast room asked me what score I think I will get in this match. Don’t ask, the answer is 5:0. I am now a die-hard Porto fan and I will not accept any rebuttal!"

……

In the team locker room, Lopetegui showed a rare smile, and it can be seen that he was quite satisfied with the players' performance in the first half.

"We didn't play too badly in the first half, but we didn't play much better either. Alex, you should have stepped up to defend when Danilo was shaken off. Fortunately, Elton reacted in time, otherwise we would be 2:1 now."

Alex nodded slightly when his name was called, indicating that he understood. The situation Lopetegui was talking about happened more than 20 minutes later, when Gil Vicente striker Simi cut inside, and Danilo and Sandro stood in front and behind Simi's shooting line.

Simi first pretended to shoot with his right foot, and Danilo who was blocking his right foot was knocked to the ground. Sandro then took a step forward to fill Danilo's position, but Sandro did not do so, resulting in Simi getting a chance to shoot. This was the only shot on target by Gil Vicente in the first half, and it was also what Lopetegui was most dissatisfied with.

Then, Lopetegui looked around at the players again, and finally stopped his gaze on Jiang Yuan: "Jiang, our attack in the first half was mainly concentrated on the left side. You must have consumed a lot of energy, right?"

To be honest, there was no big problem in letting Jiang Yuan run for a few more minutes, but Jiang Yuan glanced at Brahimi who was sitting opposite him, and said to Lopetegui: "Sir, I am indeed a little tired, but not particularly tired. Maybe you can replace me in the 70th minute."

Brahimi looked up, his expression obviously surprised. Lopetegui glanced at Jiang Yuan, his face full of praise: "Okay, then I will let you go off the court to rest depending on the situation. In addition, Ricardo, you also need to rest, we have a big battle in the next round!"

"understand!"

Quaresma nodded without objection.

At this time, Martinez was standing next to Jiang Yuan, hesitating, wanting to say something but not saying it.

Lopetegui saw Martinez like this, thought for a while and suddenly remembered something, took out his mobile phone to check the information: "By the way, there is one more thing you need to pay attention to, it's about Jackson..."

"Currently Jackson ranks first in the scorer list, scoring... 19 goals, followed by Jonas and Lima. You should know them, both of them are forwards of Benfica, and they have scored 18 goals each. I hope you can pass the ball to Jackson more and help him win the Golden Boot as much as possible."

Lopetegui spoke quickly, always watching the changes in Jiang Yuan and Quaresma's expressions.

If Martinez wants to score more goals, Jiang Yuan and Quaresma must make corresponding sacrifices.

Quaresma nodded: "I have no objection, the Golden Boot should belong to Porto, and other teams should not be allowed to take it, especially Benfica!"

Jiang Yuan didn't care any more. He had only played for half a season, and he was already very satisfied to be ranked 21st in the scorer list: "Ricardo is right, the Golden Boot belongs to the Porto captain. Similarly, the championship also belongs to Porto!"

Martinez was delighted: "Ricardo, Jiang... and everyone, thank you so much, but the premise of helping me score is to win the game. The honor of the Porto team is far more important than me personally."

Lopetegui spread his hands: "Is there any need to say this?"

"Hahaha!"

……

At the start of the second half, Porto, playing at home, still maintained their aggressiveness when facing weak teams, threatening Gil Vicente's goal more than once in the first 8 minutes.

Subsequently, Porto made the first substitution of the game, with Neves replacing Casemiro and Evandro replacing Herrera, making adjustments to the midfield positions.

Compared with Casemiro, Neves has stronger set-piece and advancing abilities. Lopetegui must have made such a substitution with the intention of expanding the score.

Of course, part of the goal is to preserve the energy of the main players for the next game against Belen SAD.

In the 58th minute, Gil Vicente committed a foul in the frontcourt. Neves quickly took a free kick and directly found Jiang Yuan on the left.

"Damn it, Sergio, keep an eye on him and don't let that Chinese guy start!"

Viana shouted, he is under great pressure now. If the game against Porto does not result in a draw or a win, then Gil Vicente will 100% be relegated.

The team will be relegated, and Viana's head coach will undoubtedly be sacked!
Sergio Semedo heard Viana's call and ran to Jiang Yuan as soon as Jiang Yuan received the pass. Next to him was Portuguese midfielder Goncalves and the double midfielder of Gil Vicente who were staring at Jiang Yuan eagerly.

Facing two defenders, Jiang Yuan certainly wouldn't find a chance to break through, so he pretended to break through, but actually passed the ball to Danilo who was on the outside.

"Run faster!" Jiang Yuan urged. Danilo's speed was not slow either. After bypassing Semedo, he began to approach the baseline. At the same time, Martinez and Quaresma were waiting for an opportunity on the weak side.

Gil Vicente's five defenders moved back little by little, they were really nervous now!

"right!"

Danilo shouted and passed the ball back to Jiang Yuan.

coming!

After getting the ball, Jiang Yuan seemed to have a nerve touched. He became excited and pulled the ball with his left foot and started moving inward.

Martinez glanced at Quaresma, who understood and ran into the small penalty area. Facing the Portuguese star who was advancing towards the offside line, Gil Vicente had to send two central defenders to defend him, which gave Martinez enough space.

In a one-on-one situation, the attacking side has the advantage by default!

After dribbling the ball around Gonçalves, Jiang Yuan looked up and realized that the situation was not very good for passing a high ball, but his passing technique for low balls was not that good.

So Jiang Yuan kicked the ball with his heel and passed it to Neves behind him.

"quick!"

Neves pushed the ball lightly with the instep, and the ball passed between Pez and Martinez and came in front of Martinez.

Precise ground pass!
Martinez didn't stop the ball, he wrapped the ball with the arch of his foot and shot directly. The ball passed between Fagini's legs and hit the inside corner of the goal.

At this point, Porto leads 3:0!

Captain Martinez scored twice!

“Ptimo! ptimo! (It’s great)”

Lopetegui raised his hands high. If you ask me if there is anything in the world that would make me happier than winning 2:0 at home, it would be winning 3:0 at home!

……

“维亚纳坐不住了，连换三人，99号西米、20号贡萨尔维斯、13号扬德尔被换下。换上7号恩萨、70号里贝罗、45保利尼奥！”

"Similarly, after scoring the goal, Porto made another substitution, with No. 8 Brahimi replacing No. 27 Jiang Yuan. This was Porto's last substitution in this game."

"Oh my god, why did Lopetegui replace Jiang Yuan? Jiang Yuan's performance was pretty good!"

"He was substituted off the court after scoring 1 goal and creating 1 penalty. How despicable! (Just as despicable as a reader who keeps a book but doesn't read it!)"

A Kun muttered that as soon as Jiang Yuan left the stage, the number of viewers in his live broadcast room dropped by nearly 40%.

I still say, without Jiang Yuan, who would watch you in the Portuguese Super League?
[No, No. 27? Damn, why was Jiang Yuan replaced? ? ? ]

[Damn it, damn it, I stayed up late tonight on purpose, and I was taken off the field after only playing for 74 minutes. Can you play for 90 minutes so that I can enjoy the sight? ]

[Lopetegui must have lost his mind. Isn't it asking for trouble to replace Jiang Yuan? Look at the boos at the scene. Jiang Yuan is obviously better than Brahimi! ]

[Calm down, Brahimi was Porto's starter before Jiang Yuan came. Although his condition is not good, his ability is absolutely unquestionable. There is no need to scold him like this! ]

[Zinima, refund the money! 】

[Oh my god, there are only 5000 people left in the live broadcast room. Haha, Jiang Yuan has too many fans in China]

[Although it is said that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, my evaluation is absolutely objective. Jiang Yuan should be the best player after Messi and Ronaldo. It is not impossible for him to be on par with Messi and Ronaldo one day.]

[You've almost hyped up a player worth 75 euros as the best player in the world, and you still say it's not objective? ]

[What's a net worth of 75 euros? It hasn't been updated yet. 】

……

The game continued, and after replacing Brahimi, Porto's formation changed to 4312. Considering Quaresma's physical problems, the Portuguese star played in a position similar to attacking midfielder after the substitution.

Quaresma's experience can help Martinez and Brahimi from time to time.

Jiang Yuan, who was substituted off the field, hugged Lopetegui and took the jacket from Hemiel and put it on: "Jiang, you played well!"

"Hermire, thank you!"

Jiang Yuan smiled and walked straight to the bench. Casemiro, who was sitting there, moved his butt to make room for Jiang Yuan: "Jiang, sit here!"

"Haha, Carlos, you were watching from the sidelines, what did you think of our performance in the last few minutes of the second half?"

Jiang Yuan sat down naturally. His body was still a little hot after putting down the floor, so he didn't zip up his jacket.

Casemiro gave Jiang Yuan a thumbs-up and said, "Jiang, if you were still on the field, I would say you played really well. But you're off the field, so I would say you're such a wimp. Why did you only score one goal?"

"..."

Jiang Yuan spread his hands with an innocent look on his face.

"Beep beep beep!"

"Okay, dear fans, the referee blew the whistle to end the game. In the end, the Portuguese dragons, playing at home, won all three points with a score of 3:0. After this game, the score difference between Porto and Benfica has returned to 3 points."

"Porto showed a lot of problems in this game. After Jiang Yuan was substituted, Porto's offense seemed to be slow. Obviously, Porto's forwards are generally older, and they especially need young players like Jiang Yuan who can use momentum!"

"With this in mind, Jiang Yuan will play an increasingly important role in the mind of coach Lopetegui, and we are very much looking forward to Jiang Yuan's good performance in the next games."

"Here is a piece of statistics. In the past four Portuguese Super League games, Jiang Yuan scored in every game."

"Finally, let us pray for this Chinese compatriot. Can Jiang Yuan, who debuted in the Portuguese Super League at the age of 16, bring the first Portuguese Super League trophy to China at the age of 17? Let us wait and see!"
