……

In the early morning of March 3th, Beijing time, at Lotto Park Stadium, the Belgian team Anderlecht U19 played against Porto U19 at home.

Lotto Park is actually the stadium of Anderlecht's first team, but now that the UEFA Youth League has entered the semi-finals and the first team has no game tasks for the time being, this stadium that can accommodate 2 people has been allocated to the UEFA Youth League for use.

It is true that the stadium can accommodate 2 people, but people are not very eager to watch the UEFA Youth League. There are more than 20 empty seats at 141 euros (about RMB 4000) each.

Of course, this has something to do with the small fan base of Anderlecht itself. In addition, there is France between Portugal and Belgium, and the fans of the visiting team have no desire to come to Belgium to watch the game.

30 minutes before the game started, Jiang Yuan was chatting with his U19 teammates in the locker room and unknowingly talked about Ruben Neves.

"Santos, Ruben told me that he was your teammate, do you remember?"

U19 full-back Santos nodded: "Of course I remember, Ruben and I were both promoted from the youth team to U15, and then to U17, but Ruben joined the first team not long after playing in U17, while I was still in U19"

As he spoke, Santos lowered his head and looked a little lonely.

Professional football is so cruel. Whoever plays better will have a better stage. Santos is still lucky. A player of the same age as him directly terminated his youth contract with Porto.

Jiang Yuan patted Santos on the back and comforted him: "If Ruben can succeed, you can succeed too, believe me!"

Although Jiang Yuan is two years younger than Santos, as a "foreign aid" from the first team, Jiang Yuan is no different from the big brother in the U19 team.

"Thank you, Jiang, you are a good person, and I wish you all the best!"

Santos licked his lips and tightened his socks. They were about to enter the player tunnel and wait for the game to begin.

……

The country at this time.

"Welcome everyone to Sina Sports Live. Next up is the quarter-finals of the 2014-2015 UEFA Youth League, Anderlecht U19 vs. Porto U19 at home. I am He Wei, the commentator, and I am Zhang Lu, the commentator."

"Hey He Wei, who do you think has a better chance of winning this match?"

"Haha, my personal opinion is that Porto U19 can win. I believe all the fans know the reason. This is Jiang Yuan's second game in the UEFA Youth League. In the previous game against Real Madrid U19, Jiang Yuan's performance was unstoppable!"

"In the match rosters given by both teams today, Jiang Yuan is in the starting lineup. Head coach Hemiel should formulate match tactics based on Jiang Yuan!"

"That's right. Although Jiang Yuan is a newcomer to Porto, he is the absolute tactical core of the U19 team. It's not wrong to even say that Jiang Yuan is really a dimensional striker!"

"Speaking of this, He Wei, what do you think of Porto's intention in letting Jiang Yuan play in the UEFA Youth League?"

"I think Lopetegui may want Jiang Yuan to get more game experience. Here I would like to share some little-known facts with the fans in the live broadcast room. In fact, there is not much difference in skills and ball sense between young players and famous players. The main difference is the on-field experience. We all say that old players are old players. The execution of skills and tactics of old players is indeed better than that of young players. So I think Lopetegui's idea is also to let Jiang Yuan integrate into the Portuguese Super League earlier."

At the beginning of the game, Jiang Yuan, who started the game, got the ball through continuous pressing in the frontcourt right at the start.

Seeing Gudes standing on the offside line on the right, Jiang Yuan made a 45-degree pass with the outside of his foot without any hesitation. The ball passed over two players on Anderlecht's defense line and landed over Gudes' head.

Gudes leapt high and headed the ball into the goal.

"Wow! Huh?"

Jiang Yuan was about to run and celebrate when the referee blew the whistle. Jiang Yuan glanced at the linesman's position.

Damn, offside?

Goodes, who scored the goal, was of course dissatisfied when his header was blown off, so he rushed over to argue with the referee.

"Why, why is this ball offside? Please, can you see more clearly? I am clearly standing next to the number 4!"

Santos also ran over to help Goodes speak, and for a moment the players on both sides were pulling each other.

Although Jiang Yuan also participated in the debate, he was actually not very confident. It was only 2015 and there was not even a VAR. Whatever the referee said was the truth. What else could be done?
Even so, Jiang Yuan still had to go up and call for help. It was not because of anything else, but because his teammates were all calling for help from the referee, and if Jiang Yuan didn't go up and call for help, it would make him seem out of place.

"Beep!"

Sure enough, the referee blew the whistle, clearly stating that Goodes' goal was invalid.

"Asshole, you're an asshole!"

An angry Gudes pointed at the referee and cursed, and ended up getting a yellow card. Then he thought about it and changed his words: "Idiot, you are an idiot."

Goodes spoke Chinese this time.

The referee glared at Goodes and said, "What are you talking about? If you are cursing at me in a language I don't know, I will give you a yellow card in the second half!"

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan quickly ran up, hugged the referee's shoulders, and said, "Sir, my teammate was just apologizing to you, aren't you slandering him?"

The referee nodded after hearing this. Jiang Yuan was right. If Goodes was really apologizing, then he was wrong. Wouldn't this hurt other people's sincerity?

So the referee walked towards Goodes and apologized: "I'm sorry, I think you are right, I hope you won't scold me next time, I accept your apology, and I hope you can accept mine too."

After saying that, the referee walked away and signaled Anderlecht to serve from the backcourt, leaving Gudes with a confused look on his face.

Sure enough, Jiang Yuan was right, Chinese is still useful!

In the Sina Sports live broadcast room, the number of real-time online users has now reached over 6.5, and is still on an upward trend with no sign of stopping.

[What's going on? Was this ball also offside? If you call Jiang Shen's wonderful pass for assists, referee, try to visit China next time! ]

[What's going on? Why do I feel like Porto's No. 10's mouth shape is like saying "idiot"? 】

[Don't be so hypocritical. Look at the referee's expression. He definitely wasn't an idiot. I guess he cursed first and then apologized. But unfortunately, he still got a yellow card.]

[No other comments allowed, but Jiang's 45-degree cross from the outside of his foot is really awesome][That's right! Jiang Yuan's ability with the outside of his right foot makes up for his lack of a left foot. Previously, someone who knows football said that Jiang Yuan doesn't have the ability to cross. Doesn't a 45-degree cross from the outside of his foot count as a cross?]

[Hahaha, an inverted winger, his left foot is half disabled, but his outside foot is very capable! ]

[This ball was indeed offside. I used a magnifying glass to compare it on the computer screen and saw that Porto's No. 10's toe stepped out.]

[This ball should be considered as given to them. There was an offside goal just 2 minutes into the game. Anderlecht will be scored at least 5 times in this game. Brothers, buy it with me and wash your feet tomorrow! ]

【5:0, followed! 】

……

90 minute later.

"Regular time is over, both teams are tied. Players from both teams are returning to the locker room to prepare for the next 30 minutes of overtime. I have to say that Porto was really unlucky today. They scored three goals, two were offside, and one was an offensive foul. It was really dramatic. Brother Lu, what do you think of the performance of both teams in this game?"

"Haha, the play was average, but it was full of drama. Porto U19's two young players, Maricano and Gudes, were constantly offside, and no matter how Jiang Yuan passed the ball, it was useless!"

"Speaking of Jiang Yuan, Brother Lu, what do you think of Jiang Yuan's performance during the regular time? Did it meet the fans' expectations?"

"If we evaluate Jiang Yuan as a U19 player, his performance in this game can be said to be amazing. He made 3 shots, 2 on target, and provided 4 excellent assists."

"But the problem is that we all know that Jiang Yuan is a first-team player. 0 goals certainly cannot meet everyone's expectations. Now we just hope that Jiang Yuan can perform well in the 30 minutes of overtime. After all, as long as Porto wins three more games, they can win the UEFA Youth League championship."

"Speaking of the UEFA Youth League champion, here is some information for all the fans. So far, no Chinese has ever won the UEFA Youth League championship trophy. If Jiang Yuan wins the award, it will break history."

"Haha, He Wei, it's too early for you to say these things. You haven't even solved the Anderlecht U19 yet, but you're already thinking about the championship? This year's Chelsea U19 is ridiculously strong!"

In the team locker room, Jiang Yuan sat in a chair sullenly.

"Jiang, are you unhappy?"

Goodes sat over. Since Jiang Yuan met this Chinese man, he had never been so silent.

Jiang Yuan shook his head: "Nothing, just focus on the game"

"If you're upset about the first offside goal, I'm really sorry..."

Goodes said, touching his reddish-brown buzz cut.

Jiang Yuan still shook his head: "It has nothing to do with this. Offside is not just your problem. I was a step slower in passing the ball. I am not unhappy because of this."

"All right!"

Goodes shook his head and was about to ask something else when head coach Hemiel walked into the locker room looking anxious.

"Obviously our performance in regular time was very average. Luck was partly to blame, but there were indeed some problems with our play. Why did you keep rushing forward? Do you bastards have air in your heads?"

Hemiel slapped his hand on the tactical board.

The locker room was silent. Three goals were blown off in a row. No one could withstand the pressure.

Finally, Jiang Yuan, who was sitting right in front of Hemiel, raised his hand.

Hemiel was a little surprised and called Jiang Yuan up: "Jiang, do you have any questions?"

Jiang Yuan licked his lips, stood up, and first glanced around at all the Porto U19 players in the locker room, then said: "I know it's inappropriate to say this now, but... I'm sorry, I don't really agree with today's tactical arrangement..."

!

The atmosphere in the originally quiet locker room became even colder after Jiang Yuan spoke. If you are not satisfied with the tactical arrangement, isn't that questioning the coach? When a player questions the coach, Jiang Yuan is undoubtedly challenging the team's order.

Hemiel was obviously unhappy too. He frowned and said, "Jiang, I don't know what you want to say, but I need you to calm down. You can't solve the problem like this!"

"No, I can't calm down because I know that this is the only way to solve this problem. I don't agree with this tactical arrangement."

Jiang Yuan's face flushed as he spoke one sentence at a time. The aura he exuded scared head coach Hemiel and assistant coach Cech back a step.

"I know young players have their own ideas, but I need you to be calm because as a coach, I see more than you do."

"I looked for you during the halftime break, but you insisted on the original tactics, and as a result, we didn't score a single goal. So Mr. Hemiel, please let me finish, thank you very much!"

"At the beginning of this game, you arranged me, a winger, in the position of wing midfielder, wanting to use my passing ability to help the team. I have no objection. However, I just don't understand why you insist on such a tactic after playing for half a game without any effect. What I am good at is dribbling past people and shooting, not passing the ball all the time."

"I don't understand why you keep asking me to pass the ball. Am I weaker than other forwards? Mr. Hemiel, please tell me the purpose of your arrangement."

Jiang Yuan and Hemil stood opposite each other on the physiotherapy machine. Cech and Santos who were nearby moved away uncontrollably, trying to stay away from the two men.

It was obvious that Jiang Yuan was really angry!
Hemiel's eyes widened: "Jiang, I don't think this tactic is wrong. We scored three goals in regular time, but they were all blown off."

"Luck? One goal was a matter of luck, but three goals is still a matter of luck? Don't you know why we were always offside? Because we couldn't get in from the right, we couldn't get to the bottom, and if we couldn't get to the bottom, we could only pass the ball over the top to Maricano."

"I've been testing the offside line all the time. How can I not be offside?"

Jiang Yuan didn't look at Hemiel well at all. As a player, he should respect the head coach, and Jiang Yuan thought so too. But the problem was that they needed to win the game now, and if they didn't scold Hemiel, this matter would not be resolved.

"Jiang, do you mean that you think Goodes's kicking is not good?"

Hemiel pointed at Goodes, whose face turned red. He didn't expect that the reason for the quarrel between the two was because of him. Goodes was now embarrassed and tapped his toes on the ground.

"Gudes is an excellent right winger, I recognize him, but I think I can play better if the ball is given to me. I don't mean to look down on Gudes, I just want to say"

"Coach, I need the right to fire"

"..."
