Chapter 81: Scoring twice? I choose to head the ball!
[What the hell? What the fuck did I see? What the fuck did I see! ]
[Peach Blossom Shadow Falls Flying Sword! ]
[You told me this guy is 16 years old? His talent is overflowing the screen, right?]
[My son asked me why I was kneeling to watch the live broadcast, I said you don’t understand, when you understand, you will also kneel to watch]
[I thought of 1 ways to shoot, but I never thought Jiang Yuan would shoot directly in the air, and with the outside of his foot]
[The level of this outside foot is not weaker than Quaresma's, this talent is really good]
[Awesome, the ball went in before Patricio could react at all]
[Don’t even mention Patricio whose vision was blocked. Even from my God’s perspective, I couldn’t imagine that Jiang Yuan would just shoot.]
[Can you believe it? Xiao Jiang just joined Porto U17 a few months ago and has already scored two goals in the Portuguese Super League! ]
[In addition, there are three assists, all of which were fed to Quaresma]
……
"what----"
After scoring the goal, Jiang Yuan quickly ran a few steps and opened his arms to welcome the cheers of the fans at the Dragon Stadium.
"Damn it, that's a great kick!"
"Hahaha, here, here, give me your autograph!"
"Oh my God, this goal was really amazing, Sporting CP didn't even react!"
"jiang——!!!"
Jiang Yuan walked to the edge of the stands. This time, he learned from his previous lesson and did not go over the billboard, but looked at the fans from a distance.
The fans at the Dragon Stadium were completely excited by Jiang Yuan's long-range shot. Given the fans' current mental state, if Jiang Yuan rushed in, he would probably not even be able to keep his underwear.
After playing football in Portugal for a few months, Jiang Yuan has gained some basic understanding of the differences between domestic and foreign fans.
Although both sides will curse, domestic fans usually curse together, while foreign fans curse each other on their own.
Then there is the issue of celebration. Fans from home and abroad will touch the players, but the purpose of domestic fans touching the players is to get close to the players.
In addition to satisfying the purpose of physical contact with their idols, foreign players also set their sights on the jerseys and shoes worn by the players.
Of course, sometimes pants and socks will also be targeted, it depends on the mental state of the fans at that time.
"Jiang, beautiful goal, you are incredible!"
Casemiro hugged Jiang Yuan. He was standing next to Jiang Yuan when Jiang Yuan completed the long-range shot with the outside of his foot. It was still very amazing to watch the ball up close.
Especially the "pop" sound when the outside of the foot touches the ball. That feeling, you will only know how good it is when you kick it!
Then, a scene that surprised everyone appeared. After celebrating, Jiang Yuan reached out and took off his short-sleeved jersey, revealing the blue lining underneath.
There were a few large words written in black pen on the blue lining.
【Happy birthday, Mom! 】
Afterwards, Jiang Yuan blew a kiss to the camera in the live broadcast room.
Because Jiang Yuan wrote in Chinese, the fans at the scene were completely confused when they saw these words.
But soon, the Chinese students at the Dragon Stadium began to translate these words into Portuguese and told them to the local fans at the Dragon Stadium.
"Pah, pah, pah, pah -"
I saw that both the home team fans and the visiting team fans in the stadium stood up and applauded without exception.
"Beep!"
The referee blew the whistle and showed a yellow card to Jiang Yuan who was taking off his clothes, but after showing the yellow card he gave Jiang Yuan a thumbs up.
There are countless examples of celebrations such as expressing love by writing on the lining, or opposing war and racial discrimination, but this is the first time Jiang Yuan has seen someone celebrate his mother's birthday.
The yellow card is the rule, but the thumbs up is my recognition of you.
……
"Katsuhira, this..."
On the sofa, Dong Huiqing and Jiang Shengping were leaning against each other watching the match between Porto and Sporting CP. On the coffee table in front of them was a freshly opened bottle of red wine and an empty cake. It looked like they had just celebrated their birthdays.
The youngest son Jiang Hao had already fallen asleep in the room. I thought that only the two of them would celebrate Dong Huiqing's birthday this year, but it seems that this is not the case.
Jiang Yuan, who was far away in Europe, sent a belated birthday wish to Dong Huiqing with a goal.
Dong Huiqing, moved to tears, shook her husband beside her, but Jiang Shengping just stared at the TV with his mouth wide open.
"Katsuhira, I knew you would be very touched. Your son remembers us in his heart!"
After saying that, Dong Huiqing wanted to lie in Jiang Shengping's arms, but Jiang Shengping suddenly stood up and said excitedly: "Fuck, this ball is really awesome, Xiaoqing, do you know how cool this ball is!"
Jiang Shengping put his hands on Dong Huiqing's shoulders and his face flushed.
Dong Huiqing asked in confusion: "Shengping, what are you talking about?"
Jiang Shengping licked his lips and explained, "This kind of volley is only seen a few times a year. Xiaoyuan's shot was really awesome, awesome!"
"Forehead……"
……
"Oh my god, Jiang Yuan's celebration was really unique. He also received the first yellow card in his career."
"We saw Jiang Yuan's wonderful volley and also saw his concern for his hometown as a wanderer. The Chinese have always had a thought of 'not returning home until you become famous'. It is certain that Jiang Yuan wants to make a name for himself in Europe with football. While proving himself to his parents, he also brings new hope to the fans who support the national football team."
"We can see that Jiang Yuan and his teammates hugged each other tightly after scoring the goal. There are still 15 minutes left in the game and Porto is leading 2:0. But we know that in a world-class league like the Portuguese Super League, 15 minutes is enough to change a lot of things."
"Will Porto kill the game, or will Sporting CP equalize the score in 15 minutes, or even score the winning goal? Here it comes, the referee blows the whistle, the game continues!"
Jiang Yuan's volley with the outside of his foot destroyed the confidence of the Sporting CP players. After the next ball was kicked, the Sporting CP players were obviously in a low mood and even hesitated when passing the ball.
Sporting CP also made some adjustments to the lineup. Silva and Montero, who performed poorly in the first half, were replaced by Capel and Snemani. This was a positional adjustment in the forward position.
Obviously, Sporting CP still wanted to equalize the game.
Facing Sporting CP's substitution, Lopetegui responded 5 minutes later. In the 80th minute of the game, Ruben Neves came on as a substitute.
Neves came up and immediately gave the team's frontcourt a signal: "Return to defense!"
It was obvious that Lopetegui wanted to end the game with a score of 2:0. Jiang Yuan and Tello didn't care. The two players were quite disciplined. But Quaresma, who came on as a substitute in the second half, was obviously a little upset. "Damn it, there are still 10 minutes left, why don't you continue to attack? We are in control of the situation on the field!"
Faced with the sudden outburst of anger from the team boss, Tello quickly stepped forward to comfort him: "Ricardo, I suggest you listen to Mr. Hullen. It's not easy to play against Sporting CP. A 2-goal lead is pretty good."
After hearing what Tello said, Quaresma's expression became even more depressed. He almost had a conflict with Capel when he was pressing just now.
Jiang Yuan saw all of this. In order to calm Quaresma's temper, Jiang Yuan first pointed at himself and then at Quaresma, meaning that he should pass the ball to Quaresma more times.
In this way, Quaresma felt a little better.
"call"
Jiang Yuan exhaled while returning to defense. It was true that Quaresma had a bad temper, but the reasons for being angry for people like this who get angry easily were usually very simple.
The reason why Quaresma was angry was that he, the eldest of Porto's three forwards, was the only one who had not scored a goal, which made him feel embarrassed. Especially in the middle and late stages of his career, facing doubts from fans and the media, Quaresma's desire to score goals was no less than when he was young.
Jiang Yuan immediately put his words into action. He dribbled the ball through the left side, but did not choose to dribble past the defensive player. Instead, he made a wall pass with the full-back Marcano.
Unfortunately, Jiang Yuan did not control the speed of the pass and the ball was intercepted by Mario, who then passed the ball to Nani on the right sideline.
"Grass!"
Jiang Yuan cursed angrily. Because of Jiang Yuan's passing error, Porto lost the ball on the field. Instantly, the team's defense line began to shrink, and the frontcourt players also began to chase back. Among them, Jiang Yuan, who lost the ball, ran the fastest.
"We can see that a Porto player made a mistake in passing the ball in the frontcourt and the ball was handed to Sporting CP. Now the person with the ball is Nani, a veteran of the Premier League giants Manchester United."
"Here it comes, a cross from Nani. Oh, what a mistake. He didn't pass the ball. It's not a big problem. Maybe the position of the pass is not very good. Let's keep watching. Mario comes to meet the ball. If Nani passes the ball to Mario of the Red Devils, he can complete a good 45-degree cross. Nani kicks it."
"Fuck, this was a fake move. Nani dribbled into the penalty area and his shot was headed away by Sandro. This was Sporting CP's 7th corner kick of the game."
Jiang Yuan and Casemiro stood together. Both of them have good heading ability. In the new tactics arranged by Lopetegui, Jiang Yuan needs to participate in the key defense of corner kicks.
"Jiang, just look at him!"
Casemiro put his mouth close to Jiang Yuan's ear and whispered, and the person he was referring to was Capel who came on as a substitute in the second half.
There must be a reason why the Sporting CP coach substituted him on the field. Jiang Yuan understood and nodded, feeling a little nervous.
The only two things in his template that could effectively participate in defense were the running of the Turtle God and the header of Golden Edge Luo. Jiang Yuan had to admit that he was more nervous when defending than when attacking!
"Snapped!"
After a corner kick, Fabiano, who is nearly two meters tall, punched the ball with both hands. Figueiredo made a long shot from the outside, which was again saved by Fabiano.
Fabiano's performance in this game was indeed amazing. If he hadn't defended Porto's goal, Porto might not be leading by two goals now.
"Hey!"
Fabiano shouted and threw the ball to Casemiro in front of him. The Brazilian midfielder who got the ball was immediately pressed by Nani.
In fact, Casemiro was still confident that he could protect the ball, but now he was at the top of Porto's penalty area and could not afford to be careless, so Casemiro kicked the ball directly to Quaresma on the right.
"Wow!"
After a long-range pass, the ball instantly hit the left sideline of Sporting CP from Porto's penalty area.
Whenever this happens, the home fans will cheer.
"Here we go, Quaresma is carrying the ball forward, let's see what choice this Portuguese star will make"
"Many fans often compare Quaresma's talent with Ronaldo's. Brothers, I personally think that Quaresma's talent is not inferior to Ronaldo's, but his temper limits the further development of his career. Despite this, we cannot deny the strength of this Portuguese veteran."
"Danilo came in from the back and Suarez, who was defending Quaresma, had to adjust his position. Quaresma seized the moment when Suarez's center of gravity changed and started to move forward diagonally."
"Figueiredo ran up to block Quaresma's route into the penalty area. Quaresma turned around and cut inside and shot! It was a shot from the outside of Quaresma's foot. Patricio jumped up and pushed the ball into the stands. A corner kick for Porto."
"Pooh!"
Quaresma spat on the ground, expressing his dissatisfaction with his previous shot in this way.
To be honest, Quaresma's performance on the field today was indeed a bit unsatisfactory. Even his best shot, cutting in from the right and shooting with the outside of his foot, was not in the right position this time and went straight to Patricio's head.
Ruben Neves, who came on as a substitute, was responsible for the corner kick. Neves raised his right hand and made a secret signal.
Later point!
The team's defender Danilo quickly ran forward, taking away a defensive player and creating space for Maicon at the back to head the ball.
Unexpectedly, Patricio jumped high, clenched his fist and hit the ball out again, and the ball fell to Casemiro's feet.
"River!"
Without having time to observe, Casemiro directly passed the ball to Jiang Yuan who was at the same back post.
Jiang Yuan was stuck on the offside line, jumped up and faced the goal.
If Jiang Yuan headed the ball at this time, no matter how strong Patricio was, he would not be able to react.
But Jiang Yuan did not choose to head the ball because he saw Quaresma who was also unguarded in the front.
Inhale, tighten your abdomen, grit your teeth, it seems like you are attacking but you are actually getting rid of it.
Patricio jumped down the field, only to find that Jiang Yuan's ball was not a shot at all, but a pass to Quaresma on the side.
Quaresma almost shot the ball with his instep towards the empty goal. Patricio, who was lying on the ground, stretched out his hand to intercept the ball, but the defensive range in this state was really limited, and Quaresma finally succeeded in scoring the goal.
In the 85th minute of the game, Quaresma scored in front of the goal and Porto led 3:0. So far, all three strikers on the Porto field have scored goals!
"Ricardoooo——"
"Ricardoooooo!"
"Jiang——g!"
The Dragons fans cheered for the Portuguese star. It is worth mentioning that Jiang Yuan’s cheers on the field were not much weaker than Quaresma’s.
Because anyone with a discerning eye could see that Quaresma's goal was given to him by Jiang Yuan.
The veterans of the team are giving the ball to the newcomers. You, a newcomer who has only scored 2 goals in a season, are feeding the ball to the team leader.
Boy, the road is getting wider!
……
PS: Starting tomorrow, the update will be at 10 am (two updates combined into one, still 4 days a day)
It will be a hit if it is put on the shelves, but I still need to observe when it will be put on the shelves. Because of the slow pace, maybe it will be better to put it on the shelves later?
