Chapter 47 Oliverence U17
[You have completed the forced involution task, and your ball sense has increased slightly]

Jiang Yuan ran for nearly an hour before finishing the 1km run. He then deeply relaxed his muscles on the grass for half an hour before coming to the cafeteria in Porto to eat.

The cafeteria at the Gaya Training Center is divided into two areas. One area is for use by Porto's first team competing in the Portuguese Super League, and the other is for U-League players like Jiang Yuan, including Porto's B team.

As the only Asian face at the Gaya Training Center, Jiang Yuan was looked at strangely by many young players passing by.

Jiang Yuan didn't care, but Felix next to him didn't think so.

"Jiang, don't worry. Our training center has strict management. No one dares to bully you!"

Felix chopped up a small piece of steak and put it in his mouth.

Jiang Yuan curled his lips: "That's not what I'm worried about"

"You just want to gain their respect, right? It's very simple, just communicate more. In fact, when I first came here, I also thought those U19 and U23 were very aggressive, but after getting to know each other, we became good friends!"

“No, it shouldn’t be like this.”

Jiang Yuan shook his head.

Felix frowned. "What's that?"

Jiang Yuan touched the food residue at the corner of his mouth and said slowly: "Respect is earned through playing games."

Felix looked at Jiang Yuan and nodded as if he understood.

……

Jiang Yuan played his first game three days after arriving here. His opponent was Oliverence U3, a name he had never heard of.

Jiang Yuan asked Felix about the strength of his opponents, and the result was as expected. Compared with Porto U17, Oliveirense U17 was no different from an amateur team.

Good news: Jiang Yuan is on the match roster

Bad news: Jiang Yuan is a substitute, and now he has not had a chance to play in the 76th minute.

The score on the field is now 3:0. I have to say that the young players of Porto Youth Team are really strong. They have been suppressing their opponents throughout the game. If center forward Rojas had not been in poor condition and missed several sure goals, I'm afraid the score would be at least 5:0 now.

Jiang Yuan sat on the bench, watching the game and glancing towards Alvarenga from time to time.

After receiving the system's reward for improved physical fitness and ball sense, Jiang Yuan's overall strength has also undergone a qualitative change, and his training performance in the past few days has also been very impressive.

At least, in Jiang Yuan's opinion, his performance is among the best among the team's six wingers, but for some reason, Alvarenga has not let him play yet.

"Damn, that's hilarious!"

Jiang Yuan cursed Alvarenga in his heart, and at this moment, the voice of the head coach came from the front.

"Jiang, warm up!"

coming!

Jiang Yuan put on a green vest, tightened his socks, and began jogging on the sidelines.

Finally, in the 86th minute, Alvarenga let Jiang Yuan take the free kick.

The position of the free kick was average, and Jiang Yuan would definitely not have been able to score this goal before coming to Porto.

But with the help of the system, Jiang Yuan's strength and control of the ball have been improved.

After a quick observation, there are many options for this free kick, but for Jiang Yuan, he only has one option.

You have to shoot directly!

The ball went in!
There was no live commentary for Portugal's U17 match. The audience consisted of some nearby residents and scouts from various teams. After Jiang Yuan scored a goal, he hugged Felix.

Jiang Yuan was of course happy after scoring the goal, but he was not very excited. In fact, whether a goal can be scored or not can be known when you feel the first touch of the ball. The moment Jiang Yuan's inner instep touched the ball, he knew it.

This goal must be scored!

Alvarenga was chewing gum on the sidelines and discussing the situation on the field with the assistant coach.

They said they were discussing the game, but in fact they were still discussing the performance of the oriental boy on the field.

"Jiang's free kicks are getting more and more outrageous. Compared with the free kick he kicked in the training match when he first arrived, the speed of this free kick is obviously faster!"

Assistant coach Hemiel commented.

Alvarenga nodded: "Free kicks are one thing, I always feel that his speed and ball sense have also improved a lot. It's really strange, I have been leading the youth team for so many years, and this is the first time I have seen a player with such exaggerated progress!"

"Maybe, in fact, I asked Jiang Yuan during training, and he secretly told me the secret of improvement!"

Alvarenga's words aroused Hermiel's interest: "There is another secret? What secret?"

"Inner fist!"

Alvarenga spoke the broken Chinese he had learned from Jiang Yuan.

"Inner fist?"

"I don't know either, but it's roughly pronounced like this, it's fine as long as you know the general idea."

Alvarenga waved his hand.

"Okay, Losos, tell me what this 'inner fist' means?"

"That is to say, if you want to succeed in a highly competitive environment, you must stand out from the crowd. This requires 'inner boxing', which means you work hard and practice hard on your own to eliminate all the others!"

Hemiel was sweating profusely after hearing this: "This is too scary, isn't it? No wonder he has made such great progress!"

"Yes, I also thought it was scary when I first heard it. Inner Fist, Inner Fist!"

……

On the playing field, Jiang Yuan and his Tanzanian good friend performed a quick wall-to-wall cooperation on the wing. After completing the breakthrough, Jiang Yuan went straight into the penalty area, with the Oliverense central defender defending him in front of him.

Jiang Yuan dribbled the ball into the penalty area, slowing down and approaching the small penalty area little by little.

Then, with his eyes looking at the far corner of the goal, he swung his leg to the left and back, the lace of Jiang Yuan's inner foot touched the ball, and his striking foot swept in an arc from right to left.

The ball rolled into the near corner of the goal in a straight line, almost sticking to the grass.

The ball had already entered the goal, but the Oliverense goalkeeper was still standing there stupidly, refusing to make any save.

"Wuhu!"

Jiang Yuan shouted excitedly. He came on as a substitute in the 86th minute and scored twice. Who else has such an achievement?
At the end of the game, Porto U17 won the game with a score of 5:0 without any suspense.

In the locker room after the game, Jiang Yuan completely became the star of the team. Originally, there were a few people in U17 who were not very familiar with Jiang Yuan, but now they all had a new understanding of him, a player from the East.

"Jiang, Jiang, our Jiang!"

Felix took the lead in cheering, and for some reason, the songs he sang were quite touching, especially with his distinctive African accent.

The other teammates were also very considerate and formed a circle to lock Jiang Yuan inside.
