Chapter 136: The Day the Eagle Fell off the Cliff, the Day the Blue Dragon Soared into the Abyss

[What is it? What the hell is this? ]

[Shit! Everyone stand up, Kuroko, speak! Speak!]

[Brother, are you a track and field athlete or a football player? Others have to save face, too. Is that how you play? ]

[Oh my god, when Xiao Jiang first started chasing after him, I scolded him for wasting his energy. Now it seems that I should be the one being scolded. This ball is really outrageous. I saw Diaz didn't even react when Xiao Jiang just rushed out. Hahahaha, no one thought that Xiao Jiang would chase after this ball, but he actually caught it.]

[The goalkeeper attacked a little late. If Ventura had run out earlier, he could have gotten the ball before Jiang Yuan. But the Belen players pressed too far forward. I guess Ventura didn't expect Jiang Yuan to catch up with the ball.]

[Don't even mention Ventura, even Neves is confused, this tm has assists and I am dying of laughter]

[Neves: Is it difficult to assist? I just kicked it randomly and it happened]

[Awesome, Benfica is falling behind!!!]

[It's hard to say. If the score continues like this, Porto can only get one point in the tie. In this case, unless Benfica loses another game, they can win the championship by relying on the advantage of goal difference. Damn, why is the Portuguese Super League so exciting! ]

[I am under great pressure, but I still hope that Porto can win. Let's see what happens. Xiao Jiang's goal should have boosted the morale of the whole team. I feel that there might be a chance. God bless Xiao Jiang and give him a Portuguese Super League championship! ]

……

"Hey, Gonzalo, keep an eye on that Chinese guy and don't let him start again!"

Belem SAD's coach Zina was obviously a little panicked. He thought it was just a championship battle against Porto, but he didn't expect that their entire right side and the goalkeeper would become Jiang Yuan's background!

At the same time, Zina made the first substitution of the game. Ricardo Diaz, who had just been thrown away by Jiang Yuan, was replaced by the team's forward Caeiro.

Zina is an ambitious Portuguese. He replaced the forward with a midfielder. His goal was not to draw but to overthrow Porto!

Belen wanted to win, and Porto wanted to win even more. Just two minutes after Zina made the substitution, Lopetegui replaced Torres with Adrian Lopez.

The same forward was replaced by a midfielder. It seems that Lopetegui also understands that if he really wants to win the championship, he cannot pin his hopes on Benfica's two consecutive defeats, but must take the initiative himself.

Defeating the opponent in front of them is what the dragon warriors should do now!

After Lopez came on the court, he played a role similar to that of an attacking midfielder. Of course, as a striker, Lopez's offensiveness was obviously more threatening.

Lopetegui's substitution paid off in the 80th minute.

"Nunes is coming from the right, this is a wall pass from the Belen player on the right sideline, Jiang Yuan is returning to defense, he can help Danilo with defense... Wait, shit, a tackle"

"A beautiful, very clean tackle, the ball goes straight to Danilo's feet. Transitioning to the middle, Neves gets the ball and turns to get rid of it! A classic turn and swing, Neves picks the ball out from the wall between Pelle and Martins"

"Lopez reached out for the ball! Neves made a straight pass, and the Portuguese teenager didn't miss the ball this time, the ball was passed just right! This seems to be Porto's chance! Lopez controlled the ball first, but he was not in a hurry to pass it because his teammates were not there yet."

"But Lopez's stopping to control the ball undoubtedly gave the Belen players a chance to return to defense! Still not passing the ball? Pass it! The ball came to Martinez's feet, and Martinez kicked the ball with his heel and passed it to El Nani on the right."

"Shoot directly! The ball was blocked"

"What a pity... Wait, holy shit, Neves kicked the ball in front of the arc and it went in!!!"

"Ruben Neves scores from long range!!! Porto is leading!!!"

"GOLOOOOO——"

"Neves!"

"81minutos, golo de Nevis! (In the 81st minute of the game, Nevis scored!)"

As the fans at the scene screamed, Porto, who played away, took the lead by one goal!
"hiss--"

Lopetegui's brain was consumed by joy.

Hemiel, who was sitting on the bench, suddenly stood up and pointed to the phone in Lopetegui's pocket: "Hulun, do you want to take another look?"

Lopetegui turned around and didn't rush to open his phone: "Hermier, I'm very nervous now..."

The team's Spanish coach closed one eye and opened the other eye only a little bit. Then he turned on his mobile phone and saw the RTP website (Portuguese Radio and Television Corporation), which showed the score of the ongoing game.

Segunda Liga: 56' Viseu0: 0Piedade
……

Primeira Liga (Portuguese Super League): 81'
Belenenses1:2Porto
Primeira Liga (Portuguese Super League): 81'
Guimaraes 1:0 Benfica
"1:0!"

Lopetegui shouted excitedly, and the noise he made immediately attracted El Nani on the field.

"Mr. Hullen, what's wrong?"

Lopetegui waved his hands quickly: "I mean I want you to score one more goal. Are you satisfied with a one-goal lead, Santos, you bastards, hurry up and score a goal!"

Elnani didn't expect that he would suddenly be criticized by Lopetegui. After thinking about it, he still couldn't figure out what he did wrong.

The referee gave the ball to Nunes and the fight continued.

The Belen players, who were overtaken by the score, looked a little anxious and played very aggressively, but it was already more than 80 minutes and due to physical limitations, they did not launch an effective attack.

And just in the third minute after Neves scored a long shot, something strange happened on the field.

Sturgeon seized the opportunity to intercept the passing errors of Martinez and El Nani. After intercepting the ball, the Portuguese striker ran diagonally forward from the left to the middle, and after forcing Indi back, he passed the ball to Martins with a 45-degree low shot.

Martinez didn't hesitate and sent a straight pass forward, and Nunes, who was standing on the offside line, got the ball.

At this time, he and Maicon are almost in the same line, which also means that Nunes is now facing the goalkeeper.

"Fuck!"

Jiang Yuan exclaimed, but could do nothing as he watched this scene.

Nunes moved a little to the left, got rid of Maicon's pull, and shot the ball with the instep. The ball passed between Elton's legs and went into the net.

2: 2!

In the 85th minute, the home team Belenense SAD scored with Nunes's shot to bring the two teams back to the same starting line. The Porto players on the field felt like they were falling into an icy abyss.

In fact, for football players, the most painful thing is not losing, but being equalized or defeated after taking the lead, which is exactly what the Porto players experienced on the field.

从0：1到1：1，再到1：2，最后来到现在的2：2，落起起落，不到90分钟的时间里江远体会到了4种完全不同的心境。

As the captain, Martinez immediately approached the referee after Nunes scored: "This is offside, offside!"

The referee clearly stated that there was nothing wrong with the ball!

"asshole!"

Martinez cursed and received a yellow card.

"..."

Jiang Yuan put his hands on his hips, not knowing what to say. He was undoubtedly very disappointed. Although he didn't know the score of Benfica, he knew that if Porto couldn't get three points in this game, the chances of winning the championship would plummet.

It is far more reassuring to take your destiny into your own hands than to leave it to others!
"Hey! Cheer up, cheer up!"

There is no way. Although he is the youngest in the team, Jiang Yuan still hopes to do something. Now the captain Martinez’s mentality is a bit bad, and Jiang Yuan must make everyone excited.

Although there were only 5 minutes left in regular time, there were many tactical fouls in this game, so strictly speaking there were almost 5 minutes of overtime.

Hearing Jiang Yuan's call, Martinez remembered his role on the field and quickly clapped and shouted: "Guys, score another goal! We need to score another goal! Reuben, don't lower your head, raise your head, we haven't lost yet!"

"Damn it! I didn't expect the home team to equalize at the last moment. I was ready to celebrate for Porto's victory!"

"Benfica is still one goal behind. Benfica's form today doesn't seem to be very good. They were almost suppressed by Guimarães. If Porto can beat Belenense, there is a high probability that they can push Benfica, which was originally in first place, to second place. But the question is, can the Porto players who equalized the goal and conceded the goal adjust their mentality?"

"Jiang Yuan and Martinez are applauding and calling on their teammates. They are the only two rational people on the Porto field."

"Martinez complained to the referee that Belen celebrated for too long, and the referee blew the whistle, signaling that the Belen players must get to their positions immediately."

"The ball has been kicked off. It is now the 86th minute of the game, 86 minutes and 26 seconds to be exact. Now we need to pray for a miracle and see if a miracle will happen..."

……

Time passed by minute by minute, the regular time of the game has ended, and the fourth official gave the extra time for this game - 5 minutes!

On the other side, Guimarães kept the score at 1:0 until the end and shot down the Eagle of the Iberian Peninsula. Almost half of Portugal's attention was focused on the game between Belem and Porto that had not yet ended!
"Aqui! (Give it to me!)"

Martinez pointed in front of him, Neves balanced his center of gravity and sent a precise through ball in the direction of Martinez's finger. After the Porto captain stopped the ball, he was immediately blocked by Brandang and Nelson. Martinez had no choice but to pass the ball back to Neves.

Neves passed the ball to El Nani on the right, who did a few bicycle kicks and tried to force his way into the penalty area from the right, but facing the extremely fast full-back Ferreira, El Nani's cut-in was unsuccessful.

So the Portuguese striker chose to cooperate instead. He used his left foot to drive the ball to the right. At this time, a figure rushed in near the right sideline.

This is Porto's right back Indi!

"Snap!" Indi made a cross before the ball went out of the baseline, but he did not control the strength well, the ball passed the front point and even the back point. Jiang Yuan ran back a long distance before catching the ball.

"Jiang, give it to me!"

Neves in the middle reached out for the ball. Hearing Neves' words, Brandang took two big steps forward, standing between Jiang Yuan and Neves, and extinguishing Jiang Yuan's intention to pass the ball to Neves.

So Jiang Yuan chose to perform individually. He pretended to go to the bottom line, and when Martins' center of gravity moved to the bottom line, Jiang Yuan suddenly pushed the ground with his left foot and went around Martins' left ribs.

"hey-hey!"

Martinez and El Nani both ran into the penalty area almost at the same time to reach for the ball. If Jiang Yuan passed the ball, they would have a good chance to head the ball.

However, Belen striker Stuguang actively returned to defense and blocked Jiang Yuan directly.

!!!

At this moment, Jiang Yuan's body seemed to be electrocuted. His right foot passed in front of the ball, his left foot moved quickly to the left, and his right foot stepped on the original position of his left foot.

Then, push the ball with the outside of your right foot and move your body's center of gravity to the right.

Step inside!

Stugan, who was dribbled past, knew that he could not let Jiang Yuan complete the pass, so he reached out and pulled Jiang Yuan to the ground.

"Grass!"

Jiang Yuan wanted to pass the ball to Martinez despite Stuguion's pull, but Stuguion pulled too hard and the ball rolled more than 3 meters in front of Jiang Yuan, but Jiang Yuan didn't move at all.

"Beep!"

"The referee blew the whistle! This is a pulling foul by Stugan. What a pity. Martinez and El Nani were already waiting in the small penalty area. It's a pity that Jiang Yuan failed to pass the ball successfully, otherwise it would have posed a great threat to Belen's goal!"

"It is now 94 minutes and 28 seconds. Porto has won a direct free kick. If nothing unexpected happens, the game will be over after this ball is kicked out."

At this moment, the audience, who saw no hope, were already cursing.

[Damn it, does this Beren man No. 17 have any professional ethics? He has to act so arrogant? ? ]

【Why--】

[Be rational, this is a tactical foul, there is nothing to say. Porto gets a direct free kick. The position of this free kick is quite good, which is Jiang Yuan’s favorite position.]

[It's useless. After all, the chances of a goal being scored by passing the ball to Martinez are definitely higher than a direct free kick. Free kicks are too mysterious and unpredictable!]

[94 minutes and 54 seconds, wow, the extra time is over, this is really Porto’s last chance to attack]

[This game is likely to be a draw. Let's put our hopes on Benfica's two consecutive defeats. Madeira's sailing strength is not weak, and Benfica may not win.]

[I just want to see a Chinese win the Portuguese Super League title. Is it really that difficult? ]

[This is the most promising one. Xiao Jiang is only 17 years old and has a bright future. If he can't win the Portuguese Super League this year, he can win it next year. Anyway, I will definitely watch every game with Jiang Yuan! Come on, Jiang Yuan! ]

[Please score a goal directly from a free kick! Please score a goal directly from a free kick! ]

……

"Jiang...give it to you"

Captain Martinez took the ball from Elnani and handed it to Jiang Yuan, as if entrusting something of vital importance to Jiang Yuan.

"gollum"

Jiang Yuan took the ball, swallowed, and looked at the time on the sidelines.

95 minutes and 09 seconds, the 5 minutes of extra time has ended. The game is over after this free kick. Jiang Yuan now feels like something is blocking his chest and he can't breathe.

Martinez noticed Jiang Yuan's nervousness. Considering Jiang Yuan's age, he had never experienced such a scene before. "Jiang, if you don't want to, you can give me the ball..."

To be honest, Martinez's direct free kick level is definitely far inferior to Jiang Yuan's. Martinez is undoubtedly trying to take the blame on himself by doing this.

Jiang Yuan decisively refused: "Let me do it..."

"Row!"

Martinez patted Jiang Yuan on the shoulder and shouted to the back: "Human wall, human wall!"

Jiang Yuan put the ball on the white line drawn by the referee, and stood up again with a serious expression.

The noise from the fans in the audience became louder and louder. Jiang Yuan tried to calm himself down, but in the end he could still hear the fans' shouting clearly.

"Benfica lost!"

"Benfica lost!"

……

"call--"

Jiang Yuan licked his lips and a smile appeared on his face.

"Beep!"

The referee blew the whistle, Jiang Yuan took a breath again and exhaled slowly.

then……

Kick and shoot!

It was the same as the ball in the first half, but Jiang Yuan's kick was very strong and the ball almost went straight to the upper left corner of the goal. Ventura jumped up but couldn't reach the ball.

"wowwww——"

The Portuguese National Stadium was instantly boiling.

“GOLO GOLO GOLO!!!”

"Oh meu Deus!!! (Oh my God!)"

"The ball is in, the ball is in, damn, damn! In the 96th minute, Jiang Yuan scored a direct free kick and Porto won the game!"

"Oh my god, huh—"

"Woohoo! Bang, bang, bang!"

A Kun picked up the keyboard and started typing away.

Is there anything more exciting than a winning free kick?

"what!!"

Jiang Yuan took off his clothes and rushed to the sidelines.

"Fuck, who else is there, who else is there!"

It is worth mentioning that Jiang Yuan spoke Chinese. After scoring the goal, his brain seemed to be blocked and he felt nothing but excitement.

Jiang Yuan, who ran to the sidelines, was subjected to a lot of abuse from the home team fans, but many of them also applauded Jiang Yuan because they knew that they had witnessed a miracle on the spot today.

At 95 minutes and 49 seconds, a direct free kick scored the winning goal. Porto went from a 2-point deficit to a 1-point lead and topped the Portuguese Super League this season!
The day when the eagle fell from the cliff and the blue dragon soared into the abyss, it was a very dramatic day. You may find it ridiculous, but this is football!

"River!"

Neves ran over and jumped onto Jiang Yuan's shoulders from behind. The rest of the players followed suit, and within a few seconds they had piled up a huge Arhat on Jiang Yuan.

Not only that, the Porto players on the bench also rushed into the field.

According to the rules, the referee had to blow the whistle to end the game only after Belen kicked off. It was a foul for the players on the bench to rush into the field to celebrate early, but they couldn't care less now.

Lopetegui ran into the field, raised his mobile phone and shouted:
"Guimarães 1:0 Benfica, we are first now!"

However, Quaresma, who was substituted and ran back to the field, complained directly: "Hulun, we all know the result..."

"Why? Didn't I tell you to leave your phones in the locker room?"

Quaresma showed an innocent look, shrugged and pointed to the audience: "The fans in the stands were shouting three minutes ago. Everyone heard it except you and Hemiel."

"???"
