Chapter 135 This was not a one-on-one fight, but he managed to do it
"Hey! Cheer up! Cheer up, everybody!"

Lopetegui was anxious. It was easy to play in open play, but Porto was always suppressed when Belen took a set-piece. For the Spanish coach, the team's weakness on the field was unacceptable.

"Clap clap clap!"

Martinez quickly clapped his hands, using his applause to wake up the players on the field: "Hu Lun is right, we must cheer up and fight back! We must fight back!"

"xuuu——"

As soon as Porto players walked towards the sidelines, the stands would boo them, and the home fans seized any opportunity to damage the mentality of the visiting players.

The Porto players did not respond to the boos, at least the Dragon Warriors did not speak before they equalized the score.

This is football. You can’t solve problems on the field by talking!
"Hey, Jiang, you can try to kick harder, and I'll be fine after that."

Neves suddenly came over, and his words surprised Jiang Yuan: "Reuben, you are not a defensive midfielder!"

Neves spread his hands: "There's nothing we can do about it. Just like Mr. Hullen said, our midfielders and frontcourt players must be brave enough to take action, otherwise it will not be effective!"

Jiang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. Considering Neves' defensive weakness, Jiang Yuan's position on the field was relatively far back, which directly led to Porto losing many opportunities to launch attacks from the left.

"Reuben, have you discussed this tactic with Hullen?"

Neves nodded: "Mr. Hullen wants us to play more aggressively. He just wants to win the championship more than any of us!"

Neves glanced at Lopetegui on the sidelines, who was staring at Belen's goal thoughtfully.

"Okay, come on!"

Jiang Yuan and Neves high-fived each other and gestured forward to captain Martinez. Martinez raised his eyebrows and told the plan to Quaresma on the right.

Porto’s forward line is about to press forward!

"Well, we can see that the Porto players on the field are playing more aggressively, especially on the left wing where Jiang Yuan is. In the first 20 minutes of the game, Porto's attack was basically initiated by Quaresma on the right wing. But Quaresma is not a young player in his twenties after all, and he has big problems with his physical strength."

"After playing for a while and finding that attacking from the right was ineffective, Porto shifted its focus to the left."

"The Belem midfielder dribbled the ball forward. This was the third attack launched by Belem in the past five minutes. Playing at home, Belem was very ferocious against Porto!"

"Herrera stretched out his leg to intercept, but it did not affect Diaz. Brandão on the right side made a run-in. The Belen players seemed to be attacking from the wing. Let's see what happens..."

"Diaz passed the ball, damn! Neves intercepted the ball with his foot, Belen's attack was interrupted, Diaz paid the price for his pass error, Neves raised his head and glanced to the right, Quaresma was closely guarded by Martins"

"Left! Neves' long pass attack, this is for Jiang Yuan! Let's see if Jiang Yuan, who was almost invisible in the first 20 minutes, can play as he should!"

A Kun said excitedly, and before he knew it, the fans' expectations of Jiang Yuan had become higher. In the past, when watching Jiang Yuan's games, the fans in the live broadcast room always liked to compare Jiang Yuan with certain players in the Chinese Super League, but now it seems that this comparison is meaningless. Because among Chinese local players, Jiang Yuan is almost the first by a huge margin.

Jiang Yuan’s current level is comparable to the top leagues in European football!
"call!"

Jiang Yuan turned sideways, raised his thigh to face Pelle who was returning to defense, and used the quadriceps on the front of his thigh to absorb the impact of the ball, keeping the ball firmly beside him.

"Chinese boy, come here!"

Pelle made a provocative statement. The Guinean midfielder is best at psychological warfare.

"Damn it, come on!"

Jiang Yuan responded loudly to Pelle's provocation in Portuguese, kicking with his left foot and then his right foot and suddenly rushed to the baseline.

!!!

Jiang Yuan's sprinting speed is well known in the Portuguese Super League. Pelle did not dare to slow down and immediately chased back with his left foot.

Surprisingly, Jiang Yuan was not as fast as Pellet imagined. The Guinean midfielder actually caught up with him, not knowing that he had fallen into Jiang Yuan's trap.

"Bye-Bye!"

Jiang Yuan laughed, suddenly stopped, and kicked the ball towards the middle with his right foot and left foot.

"FUCK!"

Pele reacted quickly and stretched out his thigh to block Jiang Yuan's way forward. Jiang Yuan's left leg was hit by Pele, and his center of gravity was destroyed. The front half of his body rushed directly towards the grass, but fortunately Jiang Yuan immediately controlled his body, paddled in the air with his hands twice, and finally passed Pele.

The referee pointed in the direction of Belen's goal but did not blow the whistle. This ball was in Porto's favor, so referee Olga did not call for a foul on Pelle.

Jiang Yuan seized the opportunity and cut inside. Martinez and Herrera made very smart cross-running moves and took away Brandao and Afonso at the same time.

"Aqui! (Give it to me!)"

Neves pointed at the grass in front of him with both hands. Jiang Yuan glanced at the goal, faked a shot and passed the ball. The ball came to Neves' feet, and the latter stopped the ball steadily with his right foot.

But Neves obviously lacked experience, the ball stopped too well and too close to the shooting foot, so Neves had to use his right foot to adjust the position of the ball before he could shoot.

It was Neves' adjustment that gave Belen a chance, as Nelson suddenly rushed up to grab the ball.

Facing the 1-meter-tall Portuguese defender, Neves had no physical advantage and was knocked to the ground.

"Hey! Referee! Referee!"

Jiang Yuan rushed directly to the referee Olga, indicating that it was a defensive foul by Nelson. Olga blew the whistle without hesitation, stretched out one hand to signal Jiang Yuan not to come over, and then took out a bottle of foam spray from her waist.

Free kick for Porto!
"Here we go, brothers. In the 39th minute of the game, Porto got a direct free kick from the edge of the arc. What made the home fans feel relieved was that Nelson's foul position was still some distance away from the goal. So even though it was a direct free kick, it was still quite difficult to shoot directly at the goal."

"Quaresma passed the ball to Jiang Yuan. As the team's first free kick taker, Jiang Yuan must step up at this time. This ball seems to be a bit difficult..."

A Kun muttered to himself, and saw Jiang Yuan put the ball on the white foam with his feet pressed tightly against the ball.

Logically speaking, Neves should stand on the right at this time to help Jiang Yuan with cover, but Jiang Yuan was very clear about shooting directly and would definitely use his right foot, which is consistent with Neves' dominant foot, so he just let Neves stand behind to provide cover.

Firstly, if Jiang Yuan's long shot was headed out, Neves could return to defense as quickly as possible. Secondly, if the ball bounced to Neves' position, he could also go up and kick it.

"Is it okay?"

The referee asked Ventura, and Ventura clapped his hands twice to indicate that the human wall was OK.

Then the referee looked at Jiang Yuan again: "Are you ready?"

Jiang Yuan stared at the wall of people in front of him and gave Olaga a thumbs up with his left hand.

"Beep!"

The referee blew the whistle, Jiang Yuan took a run and kicked the ball.

In a classic elevator shot, the ball passed over Braga's head and suddenly dropped after reaching the highest point. Goalkeeper Ventura jumped up to save the ball, but the ball hit the goal net directly after it dropped. The yellow and white ball was hanging in the net.

"Grass!"

Jiang Yuan threw his hands in anger, and as Jiang Yuan's free kick went out of bounds, Porto lost the chance to attack.

"what!"

Lopetegui and Hermione both held their heads in their hands, feeling extremely regretful. The angle of the ball was extremely tricky, and if Ventura had succeeded in suppressing it, he would definitely not have had time to save it, but the problem was that Jiang Yuan's core was not locked when he shot, causing the ball to miss by a hair's breadth.

In the following minutes, Porto's morale was low. Although they regained the situation on the field, they still failed to score a goal.

"Quaresma headed the ball, Ventura held it firmly... The referee blew the whistle, the first half ended, and the home team Belenenses SAD temporarily took the lead thanks to Cámara's goal."

"Ah... It's hard to imagine that Porto's most threatening shot in the entire first half was Jiang Yuan's free kick. To be honest, I think there is no problem with Lopetegui's tactical arrangement, and he strengthened the mobile warfare he is good at."

"The problem lies in the players' mentality. It seems that because of the pressure, many players did not play to their true level in this game..."

……

Visiting team locker room.

"Hector, Reuben, and Jiang... I feel like you guys are playing too hastily. If we play normally, we definitely won't be at a disadvantage."

After hearing Lopetegui's first words, the Porto players were a little surprised that the team's Spanish coach did not get angry. Lopetegui may also know that the biggest problem of Porto now is not the tactics, but the mentality of everyone. The average age of the Porto team is only 23.7 years old, and most of the players in the team have never won the Portuguese Super League. This game undoubtedly puts too much pressure on the players. Especially Jiang Yuan, this kid from China was still playing in the campus league half a year ago, and today he has to face the pressure of competing for the championship. This is no longer a question of whether he has strong ability to withstand pressure.

It all depends on the player's heart!

Speaking of Jiang Yuan, he was now secretly taking out his mobile phone from the cabinet, wanting to check the situation of Benfica, but was grabbed by Lopetegui: "Jiang, put your phone down quickly. I said that no one can look at the phone before the game is over, and we can't be disturbed by other factors. Similarly, I haven't touched the phone!"

Jiang Yuan was frightened by Lopetegui's shout and quickly put his phone back into the cabinet.

After solving the problem of Jiang Yuan peeking at the score, Lopetegui continued to calm the troops: "Boys, I need you to calm down, don't think about other things, get rid of the Belen people, this is our time..."

While Lopetegui was speaking, Neves's butt quietly moved towards Jiang Yuan: "Jiang, did you see the score?"

Jiang Yuan pouted. Lopetegui discovered him before he even turned on his phone, so how could he check the score?

"All right……"

……

Benfica coach Zina felt that since they took the lead in the first half with this lineup, it would be a good idea to use this lineup in the second half.

Lopetegui believed that the problem was not with the lineup, so in the first 10 minutes of the second half, neither team made any substitutions.

It was not until the 62nd minute of the game that Lopetegui could no longer sit still and started to make substitutions.

No. 17 Elnani replaces No. 7 Quaresma!
"Hey, Jackson, Jiang!"

El Nani, who had just come on the field, immediately handed a note to Jiang Yuan and Martinez respectively. The general content of the note was that Lopetegui wanted the players on the field to attack to the left, use Jiang Yuan's speed to attract Belen's defense, and then give the opportunity to Martinez and El Nani on the right.

"Ok!"

Jiang Yuan flattened the note and put it in his trouser pocket.

"Pelle suddenly made a run, and Danilo and Torres worked together to get the ball back. Now it's Danilo who has the ball. Let's see what choice he will make?"

"Just pass it to Neves in front. After receiving the ball, Neves turned around and got rid of it. Beautiful! The young Porto midfielder has very good footwork. Neves raised his head and took a glance, then sent a straight pass to Jiang Yuan."

"Eh? The kick was a bit far. Oh my god, Neves seemed to have missed the target?"

"Fuck!"

Jiang Yuan cursed while running. Neves's through pass was too far in advance, but Jiang Yuan had no choice. Since his teammate passed the ball to him, he could only find a way to receive it.

Lopetegui squatted down when he saw this, holding his head with both hands: "Damn it... this ball was passed... ouch!"

Lopetegui looked down at the grass on the field. He could no longer bear to watch Neves' pass!
Jiang Yuan shook off Dias near the left sideline of Porto, and the two teams swung wildly. The Porto players had given up pressing forward, but when they saw Jiang Yuan still chasing the ball, Martinez and others also pressed forward.

Although the possibility of catching up is very small, it is always wrong to hide behind and play badly when teammates are trying so hard to find opportunities.

"Oh my god, it looks like Jiang Yuan is going to chase the ball. What a pity, Jiang Yuan is still not experienced enough. There is no need to catch this kind of ball. It's just a waste of energy..."

"Hey, the ball is about to be kicked out... Wait, he's not really going to catch up with it, is he?

"Fuck! Jiang Yuan stopped the ball before it went out of bounds. It seems like the Belem players didn't react in time. Now Jiang Yuan only needs to enter the penalty area to face the goalkeeper."

"Jiang Yuan is moving towards the penalty area little by little near the left baseline. Now there is no shooting angle, so he shoots with his right foot. It's a fake shot!"

"The goalkeeper was fooled! As Ventura fell to the ground, Jiang Yuan tore through the last line of defense of the Belen people and pushed the ball with his instep."

“The ball is in!!!!”

"GOLO GOLO!"

"Jiang...Yuannnnn!!!"

There was a roar at the Portuguese National Stadium. Whether it was the home team fans or the visiting team fans, they now had only one question in their minds: Is this a human?

"Roar--!!!"

After scoring the goal, Jiang Yuan ran to the corner flagpole, half squatted down and roared.

Next, something happened that was beyond Jiang Yuan’s expectations. There was thunderous applause from the audience, and the applause came from the fans of Belen SAD!
"Forehead……"

Jiang Yuan touched his head and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

He originally wanted to mock the fans of Belem SAD, but the fans thought his goal was brilliant and started applauding him.

"River!"

Martinez rode over and hugged Jiang Yuan, who patted the Porto captain on the back and pointed his index finger at Neves who had made a mistake in passing the ball.

"Reuben, great pass!"

"Hahaha!"

Neves pressed on Jiang Yuan's back.

It seemed like the kick I just gave turned into an assist?

On the sidelines, Lopetegui squatted on the ground, staring in amazement at Jiang Yuan and others celebrating near the corner flagpole: "Oh my God... bastard! What did I miss!"

Just now, Lopetegui was squatting with an injured back and did not see Jiang Yuan running away from the left. It was not until a loud roar broke out in the stadium that Lopetegui looked up.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t look up, as soon as Lopetegui looks up, he will see the score on the big screen on the sidelines.

1: 1.

It took only 15 seconds from the time he squatted down to the time he raised his head, and Porto scored a goal?
And looking at the expressions of the home team fans, it seemed that Jiang Yuan just rushed over and scored the goal?

"Haha, Hu Lun, you can only go back and watch the replay on TV!"

Hemil gave Lopetegui a gloating look.

Lopetegui then remembered that there was Hermione standing next to him, so he quickly stood up and put his hands on Hermione's shoulders: "Asshole! Tell me what happened? Why are the Belen fans still applauding when we scored a goal?"

Hemiel, whose shoulders were grabbed, signaled Lopetegui to calm down. He first glanced at Jiang Yuan on the field, and then slowly said: "That ball was not originally a one-on-one shot, but he ran out of a one-on-one shot..."

Lopetegui was shocked. Combining what Hemiel said with the time of the goal, he roughly understood. It turned out that Jiang Yuan directly received Neves's through ball and then kicked the ball into the goal?

"Huh, Hu Lun, you still have a sharp eye! By the way, how did you notice Jiang? I remember he was still playing football in Dongfang half a year ago."

Hemil raised his doubts to Lopetegui. A top talented player was suddenly rescued from a football desert. If Lopetegui did not explain it clearly, Hemil would probably doubt whether Jiang Yuan really came from China.

Hearing Hemiel's question, Lopetegui looked thoughtful. It was because of the team scout Enrique that he noticed Jiang Yuan.

Previously, Porto wanted to set up an officially managed youth training base in China. To put it bluntly, the club wanted to make money in China. As a result, Enrique noticed Jiang Yuan. It was really a coincidence.

So, Lopetegui suddenly straightened up and explained: "Hermier, you don't know this. I watched a lot of game videos on the Internet. Haha, let me tell you, I noticed Jiang at first sight. It's not an exaggeration to say that his talent is very exaggerated."

Hemiel was embarrassed and decided not to continue the topic.

Unexpectedly, Lopetegui turned around and took out his mobile phone from his pocket, which was playing the match between Guimarães and Benfica.

The corner of Hemiel's mouth twitched: "Hu Lun, didn't we agree that no one is allowed to watch?"

"Haha, Benfica is behind!"

"What? Hu Lun, let me take a look too!"
