Chapter 91: U19’s traitor?
"Okay, Jiang, you're a genius, but at the same time, you're also a jerk!"

Lopetegui gave Jiang Yuan a thumbs up. He looked angry but was extremely happy in his heart.

High-precision shooting with both feet + smart positioning + direct free kick technique + exaggerated starting speed, and he can also head the ball!
Apart from Jiang Yuan's limited vision in the frontcourt, Lopetegui can't think of any other shortcomings. Isn't this the perfect template for a modern football winger?
Thinking of this, Lopetegui's mouth corners rose unconsciously.

Yes, this is all because of my teaching!

Quaresma, who was standing by, hugged Jiang Yuan in his arms and drank the sports drink in two gulps: "Jiang, you hid it very well, even I didn't know!"

Jiang Yuan was ashamed: "Mr. Ricardo, my heel-foot ability is not strong, I am mainly worried that you will laugh at me if you know..."

No matter what, Jiang Yuan would not let the Portuguese big brother in the team lose face.

"Haha, Jiang, I'm optimistic about you!"

Quaresma patted Jiang Yuan on the shoulder, feeling extremely happy.

This Chinese boy is really good. He plays football well and speaks nicely. I love being with him!

Just as everyone was celebrating, Lopetegui went out for a while, and the Porto players on the scene could watch the next "show" through the big screen in the locker room.

First the head coach interview, then the player interviews.

"Hahaha, Jiang, what do you think Mr. Hu Lun will say today?"

Casemiro took out two bottles of Yakult from his backpack, sat next to Jiang Yuan and kicked one to Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan drank Casemiro's Yakult in one gulp. The Yakult at room temperature tasted much worse than the iced one, but it was still pretty good.

Then, Jiang Yuan straightened up and imitated Lopetegui's tone and said: "You said my players, oh no, they played so badly, it's hard to imagine that they are a group of professional players. As their head coach, I feel ashamed for them."

"Hahahaha! Jiang, they look so alike!"

Not only Casemiro, but even Quaresma, who was preparing to listen to music at the back, praised Jiang Yuan after hearing what he said, and unconsciously put the headphones he had just taken out back into his backpack.

Soon, the interview began. Some team members were watching the interview, while others had already started sending messages to their girlfriends on their mobile phones, preparing to "relax" after returning home.

As for Jiang Yuan and Neves, they are certainly the type of people who watch the interview seriously.

The female reporter of this game is from ESPN. Her name is Daisy. She looks to be about 27 or 28 years old. However, the age of European and American women is always a mystery. You cannot determine her real age just from Daisy's appearance.

In the video, Lopetegui was standing in front of the billboard, and female reporter Daisy was holding a microphone and speaking: "Mr. Hulun, in this game, Porto tied the opponent 1:1. What do you think of the players' performance throughout the game?"

After finishing speaking, Daisy handed the microphone to Lopetegui's mouth. Lopetegui thought for a moment and then said: "You said my players, oh no, they played so badly, it's hard to imagine that they are a group of professional players. As their head coach, I feel ashamed for them!"

The stadium was lively, but the locker room was not.

Because what Lopetegui said could not be said to be similar to what Jiang Yuan had just imitated, it could only be said to be exactly the same, even the grammar used was the same.

Neves, who was standing by, looked at Jiang Yuan with dull eyes. After a long silence, he said, "Jiang, do you know magic? I mean, the kind of magic that can predict the future?"

"Magic? No?"

Jiang Yuan didn't expect that what he said was right, so he just pretended to be right: "We don't have any magic over there. Chinese people pay attention to spiritual energy, the Chinese Five Line (the five elements in English)"

At this time, Quaresma suddenly came over and said, "I know this. I saw it on the Internet. Jiang, you are not an immortal, right?"

In an instant, more than 20 players in the locker room came over and surrounded Jiang Yuan.

"Jiang, you also want to practice, can you tell me how to obtain spiritual energy?"

"That's true, but Jiang, you must teach me first that Hector is a bad guy!"

"Stop arguing, I'll learn first!"

Looking at his teammates who were getting more excited than the other, Jiang Yuan was somewhat speechless. He made a "hush" gesture and said mysteriously, "There is an old saying in China that the secrets of heaven cannot be revealed!"

"It means that there are some things I can't tell you, otherwise I will be punished by heaven...God!"

"I see!"

Everyone suddenly realized what was going on and continued to watch Lopetegui's interview with regret.

After about 10 minutes, Lopetegui returned to the locker room from the player tunnel. As soon as he opened the door, he was surrounded by everyone's gaze.

"What's going on? What are you doing?"

Lopetegui was a little surprised. He thought it might be because he scolded them during the interview, but then he thought again and found something wrong. He often criticized players during interviews, but he never saw them get angry.

Quaresma looked serious and replied in the tone of Jiang Yuan: "Mr. Hu Lun, the secret cannot be revealed!"

"?"

Lopetegui's mouth twitched. He didn't understand what Quaresma was saying at all. He just thought Quaresma was crazy. Then he stretched out his hand and called Jiang Yuan: "Jiang, you go for the interview."

Jiang Yuan shrugged. He had long guessed that he would be the one to go on the interview today, but he was surprised that there were not two people doing the interview together. This made Jiang Yuan feel a little embarrassed, as he always felt that he had stolen the limelight from other team members.

Before he was about to go out, Jiang Yuan inexplicably felt a chill on his back. He turned around and found that everyone was looking at him.

"Immortal! (Immortal cultivator)"

Everyone said in unison.

Jiang Yuan then realized that this group of people were already obsessed with what he had said about the immortal cultivators and the five elements. Just as he opened his mouth to explain, Casemiro rushed over and covered his mouth.

"The secret must not be revealed!"

"..."

……

On the Madeira pitch, ESPN reporter Daisy had been waiting for a long time. When she saw Jiang Yuan coming out, she first expressed her congratulations: "Jiang, congratulations on your goal in this game. As far as I know, this is your fifth goal since you transferred to the Portuguese Super League midway through this season, right?"

Jiang Yuan nodded: "Thank you, Ms. Daisy"

Daisy didn't expect Jiang Yuan to know her name. Her cheeks blushed slightly, but it didn't stop her from asking questions: "Jiang, do you think your performance since joining the first team is up to standard?"

"Of course, I'm not a particularly ambitious person. I think everything has to be done slowly. I'm quite satisfied with the current performance."

Jiang Yuan touched his nose and his eyes were a little evasive when he spoke.

Seeing this, Daisy did not dwell on this question for long, but changed the question: "Jiang, in this game we saw your wonderful goal on the left. As far as I know, your left foot is your non-dominant foot, but you still completed a very high-quality shot with your left foot, so your non-dominant foot level is also quite high, is that right?"

Jiang Yuan licked his lips, leaned his head against Daisy's microphone, and explained: "I like my left foot, just like I like my right foot. I am not used to dividing my two feet into dominant and non-dominant feet like other people do. In my opinion, they are equally important."

Jiang Yuan did not answer directly, but his implication was obvious. In fact, there was no difference between his left foot and right foot. After listening to Jiang Yuan's explanation, Daisy's eyes widened. Although she had long guessed that Jiang Yuan had strong reverse foot ability, she was still a little surprised to hear Jiang Yuan's personal admission.

So she immediately asked the question in her mind: "In that case, Jiang, why didn't the fans see you use your left foot much in previous games? Is this the coach's tactic?"

"Obviously, this is because I forgot about my left foot, and I really need to change that."

"..."

Daisy was silent for a while, glanced at the cheat sheet in her shirt pocket, and changed the subject: "Jiang, you participated in the Portuguese Super League and also participated in the European Youth League due to your age. Do you think Porto U19 can win the championship under your leadership?"

Daisy's question can be said to be very sharp. She used the word "lead" to imply Jiang Yuan's tactical core position in Porto U19, and asked about "championship", the most sensitive topic in competitive sports.

Jiang Yuan responded to this: "I admit that I want to win the championship, because you know, I haven't won any championship since I came to Porto. But other than that, I don't think I can play a leadership role in the U19, because football is a team sport. You can say that I take on more work in coach Hermione's tactical arrangements, but you can't say that the team plays the game with me as the core."

"Everyone is part of the team system. I feel that every player in my U19 team is equally important."

Daisy looked a little surprised. It was hard to imagine that such a cautious interview would come from the mouth of a 16-year-old rookie.

But on second thought, what Jiang Yuan said seemed to be in conflict with his actual actions.

If you are not a core player, then why do you average 19 goals per game for U2.5?
If you are not the core, then why do you always like to put on a one-man show in the opponent's penalty area when you play against U19?

If you are not the core, then why can you always score goals when playing as a lone wolf?
Daisy asked three question marks in a row. Although she didn't believe what Jiang Yuan said in her heart, as a veteran sports reporter, she still had to pretend.

"I see"

Daisy nodded and continued, "We got the news that you had an argument with head coach Hemiel before overtime in the last UEFA Youth League match against Anderlecht U19. What was the dispute about?"

"???"

In fact, Jiang Yuan realized something was wrong when Daisy was halfway through her words. When Daisy finished speaking, Jiang Yuan was stunned in front of the camera.

My goodness, is there a traitor in U19?

……

At this time, since the Huanledou live broadcast room is an "informal" foreign live broadcast source, fans don't have to worry about changing channels, they can watch the interview session.

Considering Jiang Yuan's wonderful performance in completing the equalizer in the second half, today's post-match interview will most likely focus on him, so some loyal fans of Jiang Yuan have not left yet, and there are still more than 3,000 people in the live broadcast room.

After hearing the news, everyone was in a state of complete confusion.

[Fuck you, Porto U19 has a dog! ]

[Also, Jiang Yuan had a quarrel with the U19 head coach? I think they have a pretty good relationship! ]

[Awesome, there's already some negative information about you so soon, right? But as long as you play well, what does it matter if you criticize a few coaches? ]

[Don't be so harsh, we can't be sure whose problem it is yet! ]

[Arguing before overtime? But after the game, didn’t Hemiel and Jiang Yuan hug each other? ]

[Men, you can get over a quarrel quickly, and it might just be a small matter. Why are you taking it so seriously? Isn't the key to this topic the traitor in the U19 team?]

【Thanks to the insider for sending me the information! 】

【666】

[Do you think it is possible that Jiang Yuan and Hemiel disagreed on tactical planning? Because in the match against Anderlecht U19, Porto U19 used completely different tactics before and after regular time and overtime]

[Hey, I support you above! ]

【+1】

[Jiang Yuan is already stunned, hahahaha]

[I don’t know what to say about this insider. The fans are happy about the gossip, but Xiao Jiang is upset! ]

【See what Jiang Yuan has to say! 】

As soon as the news broke, the number of people in the live broadcast room slowly increased from 5000 to . The gossipy mentality of the Chinese people since ancient times was perfectly displayed at this moment.

……

At the scene, Jiang Yuan bit his lower lip, looked around, and no one knew what was going on in his mind.

"Jiang, can you hear what I am saying?"

Daisy reminded Jiang Yuan when she saw him like this.

Jiang Yuan took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, and asked back: "Obviously, this news is fictitious, I don't know about this matter"

Female reporter Daisy frowned: "I think our source is reliable"

Jiang Yuan sighed. He knew that he could not admit it no matter what. Even though he and Hemiel had quarreled for the outcome of the match, once he admitted the existence of the quarrel, various media at home and abroad would make a big fuss about it.

It is true that you won the game by arguing with the coach and forcing a change in tactics on the field. But it is also true that you talked back to the coach.

In the eyes of the media, the second thing is definitely more reportable than the first one.

Therefore, as long as Jiang Yuan admits it, he will be portrayed by the media as a "rogue player" who talks back to his coach and has no discipline at all.

So Jiang Yuan pretended to be calm and explained, "As the protagonist of the rumor, do you think the news I said in person is more accurate or the news you heard is more accurate?"

"...Excuse me, Jiang, are you avoiding my question?"

Jiang Yuan shook his head and smiled: "I don't know who wants to slander me, but I can guarantee that this has never happened. I respect Mr. Hemiel, just like I respect other coaches. Arguing with the coach? Sorry, I don't think this is something I can do. No qualified professional player should do such a thing."

"You know, the coach makes the decision and the players follow his orders. That's the rule of professional football."

After saying this, Jiang Yuan added that this sentence was especially for Daisy. Strictly speaking, it was not just for Daisy, but for all football reporters.

"I respect my coach, just as reporters should respect the players. Thank you everyone!"

"Ms. Daisy, I think this is the end of my interview?"

"..."
