Chapter 131 World War II Gil Vicente"Hello, fellow football fans, this is the 32nd round of the Portuguese Super League, where Porto plays against Gil Vicente at home." "Although Gil Vicente is currently ranked second from the bottom in the league, due to the close score between Porto and Benfica, this match is also the focus of the Portuguese Super League championship. In yesterday's match against Penafiel, the top Benfica took all three points." "Porto has one game less and the current score difference between the two teams is 5 points. Any mistake by either team will lead to a change in the ownership of the championship!" "Now let's introduce the starting lineups of both teams!" "First up is the home team Porto!" Porto (4-3-3) Goalkeeper: Elton Defenders: Indi, Maicon, Alex Sandro, Danilo Midfielders: Oliver Torres, Casemiro, Hector Herrera Forwards: Martinez, Quaresma, Jiang Yuan ……
Gil Vicente (3-2-3-2) Goalkeeper: Fagini Defenders: Pequez, Yandel, Gabriel Mora, Evaldo, Kadu Midfielders: Goncalves, Semedo, Vilela Forwards: Simi, Yazard "Compared to the last match between the two teams, there have been some changes in the starting lineups of both teams. Let's see how the players of the two teams will perform!" …… At the beginning of the game, the home team Porto players were very excited. The three-man forward team led by Martinez got the ball through continuous pressing in the frontcourt just after the game. Of course, the Porto players are excited, and the 11 players of Gil Vicente who are playing away will be even more excited. Gil Vicente is currently ranked second from the bottom. If they want to get out of the relegation zone, they must surpass Arouca who is ahead of them in points. Football matches are like this, when the championship contending team and the relegation team collide, there will inevitably be a bloody storm! "Aqui! (Here!)" Jiang Yuan reached out for the ball, and Casemiro passed it without hesitation. At the same time, Jiang Yuan pushed Elvado away from him and used his physical strength to force his way into the penalty area. At the left edge of the penalty area, there are two defensive players in front and the goalkeeper is waiting for an opportunity! This is the perfect time to aim and shoot! Jiang Yuan did a few bicycle steps with his right foot, trying to move a little towards the middle to adjust his shooting angle. Kadu steps forward to defend! Between passing the ball to Danilo and shooting directly, Jiang Yuan chose to dribble sideways to get rid of the ball. Behind him was Herrera, but with Vilela standing next to the Mexican, it was obviously not a good choice to give him the ball. Jiang Yuan blocked in front of him with his left hand, trying to force the transfer with confrontation like before. Kadu grabbed Jiang Yuan's ribs and tried to stop Jiang Yuan. So, Jiang Yuan fell to the ground! "Ahhh——!!!" Jiang Yuan hugged his thigh. Although it didn't hurt, he still cried out in pain. "Hey! That's a foul!"
Quaresma spread his hands and rushed to the referee to argue. Unfortunately, from the referee's perspective, Kadu's pulling was not serious enough to cause Jiang Yuan to fall to the ground, and the two sides started an argument. Jiang Yuan, who was lying on the ground, opened one eye and secretly glanced at the referee. Seeing that the referee did not point to the penalty spot, he screamed even louder: "My knee, oh my god, hiss, it hurts!!!" There is one biggest difference between a real fall and a fake fall. A real fall causes the center of gravity to be passively destroyed, making the player more likely to get injured, but a fake fall is usually under the player's own control, so there is little chance of injury. Looking at Jiang Yuan crying out in pain, he must have fallen! "Beep!" The referee was moved by Jiang Yuan and pointed to the penalty spot. At the same time, Jiang Yuan got up from the ground. "Jiang, are you okay?" Casemiro came over and said worriedly, Jiang Yuan had fooled even the referee, so Casemiro would naturally be fooled as well. Jiang Yuan just raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything. Casemiro showed an expression that said "I understand you very well" and gave Jiang Yuan a thumbs up. "Jiang Yuan created the penalty, and the first penalty taker Quaresma took it. Let's see if this will be Porto's first goal." "The referee blew the whistle, run up and shoot!" "Oh my God, goalkeeper Fagini has done a great job, Quaresma's penalty was guessed in the right direction!" "Wait, damn, the ball goes in from the follow-up shot by Captain Martinez!!!" "It has to be Martinez! The captain of Porto!" "With Martinez's follow-up goal, Porto, who played at home, took the lead by one goal!" The live director did not forget to give Lopetegui a close-up when replaying the goal. "nice shot!" Lopetegui on the sidelines clenched his fists, he was as excited as the players on the field. “Quando alguem se atrever a sofucar” “Ogrito audaz da tua ardente voz” “Oohh porto ento verás vibrar” In the stands, the home team fans sang the team song, "Child of the Dragon", which is a song unique to the Dragon Stadium! "I like this feeling!" Casemiro rubbed his hands. At that time, he was not in the habit of wearing black Adidas gloves. Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "Who isn't? Another one?" "Of course, score another one!" The morale of the Porto players who were leading at home was high, while Gil Vicente, who conceded a goal in just over 10 minutes, seemed a little overwhelmed. When facing a strong team, players on the weaker team usually give themselves psychological hints before the game, reminding them not to give up when they are behind.
But when the game really comes, falling behind will still have a great impact on the players. In the eyes of Gil Vicente players, Porto now looks like a real dragon! In the 35th minute of the game, Quaresma found an opportunity on the right, but was intercepted by Peques when he wanted to go to the bottom. "Give me!" Torres ran behind to receive the ball, but the Portuguese star did not choose to pass it back. Instead, he made a direct and violent cross, and the ball was hit out of the baseline by Peques. Corner kick for Porto! "Ricardo, why don't you give it to me?" Torres spread his hands and questioned, saying that there was no defensive player near him just now, and he could have made a 45-degree cross as soon as he got the ball. It was really unreasonable for Quaresma not to pass the ball. Quaresma didn't say anything. His face looked a little bad. Captain Martinez rushed over immediately: "It's okay, the corner kick is not bad either!" Seeing this, Torres was ready to investigate further and ran into the penalty area to set up a human wall. Martinez walked to Jiang Yuan's side, covered his mouth and whispered: "Still cross-running" Jiang Yuan patted Martinez on the shoulder to show that he understood. The corner was taken by Herrera, who tapped the ball out on the right side. "Snapped!" At the same time, Jiang Yuan and Martinez made a familiar cross-running move, Jiang Yuan from left to right, Martinez from right to left, and the two took away Gil Vicente's defenders Evaldo and Yandel respectively. The ball came to the front point, Jiang Yuan jumped sideways, and got the first point after competing with Evaldo. However, after the jump, Jiang Yuan's body center of gravity had been destroyed by Evaldo, and Jiang Yuan, knowing that he had no hope of shooting, chose to head the ball back. The ball comes to Quaresma's feet! "boom!" Quaresma shot the ball with great force and it went straight into the goal. Goalkeeper Fagini kicked the ball out with one hand and the ball flew to the penalty spot. Casemiro is standing right there! "River!" …… (End of this chapter)
