Chapter 69: Elevator ball, no goal scored, but assist

[It seems that this free kick is going to be given to Jiang Yuan? Neves is so generous! ]

[It seems that Quaresma said this. I didn’t expect Jiang Yuan to have such a good relationship with the big brother in the team! ]

[Haha, didn’t you see Jiang Yuan was passing the ball to Quaresma when he came on as a substitute? ]

[When you said that, I remembered the outer instep of the foot again. It was really amazing.]

[Jiang Yuan made the road wider]

[Looking forward to Xiao Jiang's free kick scoring directly! ]

[Brothers, 1:1 tie, believe me! ]

[Hahaha, it doesn’t matter whether Porto wins or not, Jiang Yuan can’t lose! ]

……

Jiang Yuan and Neves stood on the left and right behind the ball. They raised their hands and gestured to tell their teammates that it was Jiang Yuan who kicked the ball.

Neves took a run-up and then slipped the ball past, at the same time Porto began to attack Madeira Navigation's wall.

Jiang Yuan followed closely and kicked the ball with the inside of his right foot.

Still the familiar free kick!

The ball passed between the two people's heads, flew to the highest point and then fell down.

Unfortunately, goalkeeper Salin reacted in time and punched the ball out with both hands.

The ball came to the feet of Porto defender Sandro, who shot directly without stopping the ball. Salin used the Lotus Technique to once again block Porto's attack.

But the luck could not last forever. Quaresma in front of the goal grabbed the ball in the small penalty area and scored with a fake pass.

"1:1"

"Quem marcou a bola! (Who scored the goal)"

"Ricardo Quaresmaaaaaaa——"

The live commentator called out the name of the scorer. It was Porto's equalizing goal in the 88th minute of the game.

Quaresma, the long-famous Portuguese star completed the equalizer against Madeira Navigation!
After scoring the goal, Quaresma rushed to the corner flagpole, then turned around, pointed at Jiang Yuan and made a hook gesture of "come here".

"Jiang, your pass!"

Quaresma pulled Jiang Yuan into his arms and pointed at the visiting fans and shouted Jiang Yuan's name.

"Jiang, Jiang, Jiang!"

Since it was an away game for Porto, there were not many Porto fans at the scene, but there were at least more than 1 people, and their voices were very loud when they shouted.

Then, Casemiro stood up on the bench, rushed over and pressed directly on Jiang Yuan.

"Jiang, you can also take free kicks, why didn't you tell me!"

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "Hahaha, you didn't ask!"

Casemiro kissed the back of Jiang Yuan's head and asked, "Why does Mr. Cardo know that?"

Casemiro saw it clearly from the bench. It was Quaresma who said something to Neves that made Jiang Yuan take the free kick.

Judging from the result of this free kick, Quaresma must have known something in advance.

Quaresma laughed out loud when he was named: "Carlos, I saw Jiang Yuan practicing free kicks on the training ground last Saturday, otherwise I wouldn't know!"

Casemiro suddenly realized what was going on and looked at Jiang Yuan: "Jiang, why are you secretly practicing more?"

"Wait! Mr. Ricardo, you also practiced extra last Saturday?"

Casemiro reacted as if he had lost something, his heart skipped a beat, and he almost fell. "Hahaha, it's okay Casemiro, Mr. Ricardo and I will secretly practice more and then leave you far behind!"

Jiang Yuan was joking with Casemiro and he was in a pretty good mood.

Although this direct free kick did not result in a goal, it also achieved a great result!
Suddenly, Jiang Yuan thought of something and his eyes lit up.

"Come on, guys, follow me!"

As he spoke, Jiang Yuan put his arm around Quaresma with one hand and Casemiro with the other, and led the Porto players to the bottom of the home fans' stand.

"Rubbish"

"asshole!"

Facing the abuse from the home fans, Jiang Yuan just smiled slightly, glanced at Quaresma, then at Casemiro and said: "Come on, shout with me!"

"idolt!"

"?"

The two men hadn't reacted yet because they were still playing football on the field when Jiang Yuan was "teaching".

However, Porto's substitutes have already started cursing "idiot".

"Mr. Ricardo, and Carlos, please follow me!"

Jiang Yuan urged, and at the same time he and the substitute players shouted "idiot".

The Madeira Sailing fans in the stands were stunned, and no one knew what these two words meant.

Quaresma and Casemiro looked at each other and said in unison: "Idiot!"

"Hahahaha!"

……

The final score was tied at 1:1. Judging from the score, there was no difference between the two teams, but the situation on the field was that Porto kept pressing Madeira Navigation but they just didn't have many shots.

Lopetegui is also very helpless. Porto's forward line has too many problems now. The left winger Martinez is okay, but the center forward Tello is a completely unstable factor, and the right winger Quaresma is old and can't run much.

The offense was fairly smooth, but there wasn't a single qualified shooter who could stand out.

Just when everyone thought Quaresma was old, tonight, the Portuguese star responded to everyone's doubts with an equalizer.

Also attracting attention is Jiang Yuan, the man standing behind Quaresma.

Or maybe it would be more appropriate to say that it is a boy...

Who would have thought that a "kid" who had just landed in the Portuguese Super League and was not even 17 years old could actually complete such a high-quality elevator shot directly into the goal.

Now, not only domestic fans, but also Porto fans and newspapers on foreign websites have noticed this young player from China.

"Portuguese Record" - The mysterious power comes from the East. Porto substitute Jiang Yuan assisted Quaresma to equalize the game. Maybe the Portuguese Super League has reached the level of the top five leagues?

Candidates from other places can enjoy reimbursement of transportation fees!!!

In a city more than 10000 kilometers away from Porto, a boy was sitting in a classroom, but he was not listening to the Chinese teacher's lecture on the stage.

There was a newspaper in the boy's drawer. He had been reading it over and over again since the beginning of the class. He had read it three times and still felt unsatisfied.

So the boy turned his head and looked back. There seemed to be a figure patting his back outside the empty desk. When the boy looked closely, the figure disappeared without a trace, as if it only existed in his own fantasy.

The boy smiled and said, "Brother Yuan, come on!"
