Chapter 137 You are a dragon. A dragon can only fly farther in the blue sky. [Brothers, I will kowtow first! ][Awesome…awesome] [To be honest, this ball was not much different from the one in the first half, but the ball was suppressed and in a blind spot, so the goalkeeper had no chance to save it.] [If you don't understand, just ask, isn't the extra time only 5 minutes? Why is the goal at 95 minutes and 49 seconds still counted, and the game is not over yet? ] [The person upstairs, get out! ] [Damn, Porto now has one more point than Benfica, and both teams only have one game left, so as long as Porto wins the next game, they will definitely be the champions] [I just saw that Porto's next opponent is the leader of the Portuguese Super League this season (. the last one), so it can basically be said that it is a sure thing] [Is the person above an AC Milan fan? Just ask that you don’t open the champagne at halftime, I’m old and my heart can’t take it! ] [Front row is exciting, what will be Jiang Yuan's value in the next transfer window? My first guess is 1600 million euros! ] [Whoever says Jiang Yuan is at the level of the Chinese Super League again, I will scold him from now on] [Porto's 200-year-old fans are here to report! 】
…… “meu porto onde aeterna mocidade” “Diz a gente o queéser nobre e leal” “Teu pendo leva o escudo da cidadeeee!” The away fans at the scene sang "Child of the Dragon", but today the song was not played at the Dragon Stadium, but at the Portuguese National Stadium, the home of Belem SAD. There were less than 4000 away fans at the scene, but they sang out an effect comparable to a chorus of people. "Well done, Jiang, you did a great job, asshole!" Lopetegui pulled Jiang Yuan over, hugged him, and then slammed Jiang Yuan on the back: "Miracle, you are our miracle!" Feeling the excitement of his teammates and coaches, and listening to the fans singing the team song live, Jiang Yuan smiled with satisfaction: "I like this feeling!" …… In the 100th minute, Belen took the kick-off and Nunes stood expressionlessly in the center circle and passed the ball. "Beep beep beep!" At the final whistle, Porto defeated Belem SAD 3:2 away, and officially surpassed Benfica to become the first in the ranking on the official website of the Portuguese Super League! At this time, captain Martinez called on the players to run to the away stands, and everyone followed without thinking. More than 3500 Porto fans, as well as 20 Porto players and staff, sang together. "PORTO! PORTO! PORTO!" The players hugged each other's shoulders and sang the entire team song from beginning to end with the fans, and then bowed to express their gratitude to the fans. Quaresma saw a father holding a boy in his arms in the stands, and suddenly an idea came to him and he said, "How about we give out a signed jersey together?" Jiang Yuan was puzzled: "Send them together? How can we send them together?" Quaresma suddenly ran behind Jiang Yuan, pulled off his jersey, took a pen from the staff and signed his name under the "27" in "7". Lent "Ricardo, give me the pen!"
Martinez followed closely behind, took the pen from Quaresma, and wrote his own name. Martínez Next came goalkeeper Fabiano, Torres, Herrera... and of course coach Lopetegui. They all took a pen and signed their names on Jiang Yuan's jersey. The last person to sign was the team's substitute striker Lopete. After writing his own name, he handed the pen to Jiang Yuan: "Jiang, it's your turn!" Jiang Yuan was holding a pen, shirtless, but still in a daze. His No. 27 jersey was densely covered with signatures, from the starting lineup to the substitute, and even the coach's name was written down. There is no doubt that Quaresma meant to give the audience a jersey signed by the entire Porto team! "call--" Jiang Yuan glanced at Lopetegui, then picked up a pen and started writing, but was stopped by Quaresma: "Jiang, your name must be the biggest, don't write there, write here!" Quaresma pointed to the center of the back of the jersey, between the two numbers "27". Jiang Yuan was a little embarrassed: "This...Is it bad if I sign the biggest one?" Martinez complained: "Why not? You should just sign the biggest name, hurry up!" "All right!" Jiang Yuan stuck out his tongue, picked up the pen and solemnly wrote his signature. Jiang Y His name is in the middle of the jersey, surrounded by "Martínez", "Quaresma", "Lopetegui" and so on. Jiang Yuan held up the jersey with both hands, showed it to the cameraman, and then walked to the boy's father: "This is his" "This……" The boy's father took the jersey from Jiang Yuan with a trembling hand, his face full of surprise. The jersey of the player who scored the winning goal in injury time! The entire Porto team signed! And it was the owner of the jersey who handed it to him personally! "Oh my god, thank you, thank you!" The boy's father has become incoherent! "Thank you for your support. Will he be a Porto fan in the future?" Jiang Yuan asked with a smile. The boy’s father suddenly stood up straight with a firm look in his eyes: “If my son is not a Porto fan in the future, I will break his legs!” "Hahahaha!" …… "Dear fans, I believe that many people in the live broadcast room feel the same as I do, joy, excitement... or excitement, these words can no longer describe my mood." "The lore in the 96th minute is Jiang Yuan's miracle and also Porto's miracle" "The day when the flying eagle falls off the cliff, the blue dragon rises into the abyss. I declare that from today on, the first place in the Portuguese Super League this season... will be held by a new owner!" …… The front page headline of "Portuguese Record" - In the 33rd round of the Portuguese Super League, Porto defeated Belem 3:2 at home. SAD rose to the top of the list for the first time this season and is only one victory away from winning the championship! The front page headline of Portugal Football News: Porto youngster Jiang scored a free kick with a 9549 goal to defeat Belem, helping Porto to the top. Currently, Porto's odds of winning the championship have reached the first place! The second headline of the front page of "Portugal O Jogo" - Jiang's performance is getting better and better. Can the 1150 million euros penalty clause keep this Porto youngster? Maybe Porto should consider signing a new contract? The second headline on the front page of "Portugal Football News" - Casemiro's loan has expired, Real Madrid has rejected Porto's 1500 million euro buyout offer, and the Brazilian midfielder's departure is a foregone conclusion!
The front page headline of "Spanish Marca" - In the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Real Madrid drew 1:1 with Juventus at home, and was eliminated with a total score of 2:3 in two legs. Pogba assisted. As Europe's top leagues enter a crucial period of championship competition and the Champions League final is approaching, the entire European football world is now very busy. There are exciting focus matches basically 7 days out of 3 days a week, but all the players are nervous. This is not just because the team is competing for the championship, promotion, or relegation during the season. In fact, for some players, there is more pressure than these. Because after the season ends, the summer transfer window in European football will open! …… At the Arsenal training base in Holloway, London, England, Patelez rushed into Wenger's office: "Mr. Arsene, good news. After reading the report I gave, the management is willing to offer a higher transfer fee for Jiang Yuan." Wenger raised an eyebrow: "How much higher?" "1100 million euros. Although this transfer fee is not enough compared to Jiang Yuan's performance, it is already the highest among Asian players." Patelez is right. There are only a handful of Asian players in the current football world whose transfer fees exceed 1000 million euros. The highest was Son Heung-min, who transferred from Hamburg to Leverkusen in 13 for only 1250 million euros. It can be said that Arsenal's willingness to pay 1100 million euros to buy an Asian player is already a big deal. Wenger frowned while sitting on the sofa, with wrinkles on his face clearly visible: "1100 million euros? I remember Jiang's penalty clause was only 1100 million euros, right? If that's the case, can't we just pay 1150 million euros and breach the contract directly?" Patres took a stool and sat down in front of Wenger: "Mr. Arsene, the management wants us to negotiate first. If the negotiation fails in the end, they will consider buying him out for 1150 million euros. You know, Jiang scored a winning goal in Porto's match yesterday, and the management was moved by that goal. A strong direct free kick shooter, this is what we need now." Hearing that the management was finally willing to pay Jiang Yuan 1150 million euros in liquidated damages, Wenger breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good..." …At the same time, at the Porto Gaya Training Center, Jiang Yuan, who had just finished his morning training, stopped Lopetegui at the entrance of the cafeteria: “Mr. Hulun, are you in a hurry to eat?” "Ah? I'm not in a hurry. What's wrong?" Lopetegui smiled and said, the more I look at Jiang Yuan, the more I like him! "It's just... I have something I want to tell you." Jiang Yuan touched his head. Lopetegui made a gesture of invitation: "We are all family, if you have any request, just tell me directly!" Jiang Yuan glanced at Martinez who was walking from a distance, and Herrera who was in the cafeteria, and finally stopped at Lopetegui: "Sir, it's not convenient to say it directly, can I go to your office?" Lopetegui was stunned, and suddenly realized that something was wrong, and said seriously: "Let's go" After about three minutes, Lopetegui and Jiang Yuan hurriedly walked into the office of the Porto head coach. After entering, Lopetegui locked the door from the inside in front of Jiang Yuan, and then sat down on the office chair: "Jiang, you want to say..." Jiang Yuan licked his lips and asked, "Sir, I want to know about the team's summer transfer plan. Don't worry, I will keep the details absolutely confidential." "Huh—you're asking that!" Lopetegui breathed a sigh of relief, thinking something bad was going to happen, but it turned out to be this. "Jiang, are you worried about your position? Don't worry, with you and Brahimi here, Porto doesn't need to recruit any players on the left side for the time being. As long as you can maintain your current competitive form, I can assure you that you will definitely be the team's main left winger next season!" After listening to Lopetegui's words, Jiang Yuan fell silent. The reason why he approached Lopetegui to ask about the team's summer transfer window signings was because he did not want his sudden departure to disrupt Porto's summer transfer window signings plans. If Lopetegui was going to recruit a left winger, Jiang Yuan might not be in a hurry to announce his transfer, but now it seems that for the sake of Porto's next season, Jiang Yuan has to come clean.
"gentlemen……" Jiang Yuan licked his lips and sat down opposite Lopetegui: "Next season... I'm leaving..." "???" Lopetegui's eyes suddenly shrank and he jumped up from his chair: "You want to transfer? I told Mateo that you are not for sale. Wait! Is Arsenal willing to pay your penalty?" Jiang Yuan shook his head: "It's not Arsenal...it's Chelsea. Jose called me and I agreed." “Oh my God!” Lopetegui held his head in his hands, walked back and forth in front of Jiang Yuan, and finally sat down on the chair again: "You want to go to Chelsea? Do you know who is Chelsea's left winger now? Eden Hazard, have you read the news? This guy just won the FWA (English Football Writers Association) Player of the Season trophy. If you go to Chelsea, won't you be competing with him for a position?" "Of course, Jiang, I don't mean to look down on you. You are a very talented player, but you are still too young. You won't get any benefits if you compete with that Belgian now." Lopetegui's face flushed and he seemed a little excited. Jiang Yuan poured Lopetegui a glass of grape juice, indicating that Lopetegui should drink some juice to calm down, but Lopetegui pushed the grape juice back: "So, Jiang, I want to know what you think." "Hu Lun... I might play on the right, but it's hard to say yet" Jiang Yuan told the truth that this was not a tactical secret and it wouldn't matter much if he told Lopetegui. Hearing this, Lopetegui sighed: "I didn't expect it to be like this. If it was Chelsea's right side, you would have a great chance." "It's my fault. I didn't take your growth rate into consideration. The 1150 million euro penalty clause really underestimated you. Anyway, Jiang, thank you very much for telling me about your departure. After the afternoon training, I will work with Hemiel to revise the summer transfer plan." "..." Jiang Yuan raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Hu Lun, shouldn't you try to keep me now?" Lopetegui patted Jiang Yuan's shoulder, snatched the grape juice from Jiang Yuan's hand, and drank it all. "Retain you? How can I retain you now? What Porto can give you, Chelsea can also give you. What Porto can't give you, Chelsea can still give you. The penalty has been negotiated. What reason do you have to stay? Jiang, you must remember that you are the dragon of Porto. Dragons can only fly farther in the blue sky." As soon as he finished speaking, Lopetegui stretched his head towards Jiang Yuan and said jokingly: "Don't sit on the bench after you arrive at Chelsea, otherwise I will look down on you!" Jiang Yuan suddenly sat up straight and imitated the tone he used to speak to Lopetegui when he first played in the Portuguese Super League: "Mr. Hulun, I want to play!" For a moment, Lopetegui looked a little dazed. In 4 months, he went from being on the bench to being a starter, and then from being a starter to being an absolute main player. This is what Jiang Yuan has achieved in half a season! …… Considering Brahimi's form this season, Lopetegui must find a suitable substitute for the Algerian. If Brahimi remains in his current form next season, Lopetegui will have to consider keeping him on the bench. It has to be said that Portuguese sports journalists are very efficient. After only two days, someone discovered that Porto was looking for a left winger. This also sparked speculation from the outside world - will Jiang Yuan leave the team after the end of the season? On the evening of the 21st, at Jiang Yuan's strong request, Felix went out with him to play soccer. "Jiang, I remember you guys are going to play your last game tomorrow, right? Is it really okay to go out and play soccer now?" Felix is a little worried. Porto will play against Penafiel at home tomorrow. This is Porto's last game of the season. As long as they can win, Porto can lock in the Portuguese Super League championship this season.
Jiang Yuan stood by the roadside waiting for a taxi and said nonchalantly: "It's just playing football, it's not very intense. Besides, I haven't killed anyone in a long time, so I'm always itching." Jiang Yuan touched his hands. He liked the feeling of attacking from a lower dimension on the baseball field. There was a kid of fifteen or sixteen years old on the opposite side defending him, and then Jiang Yuan swung his foot and shot directly from long range. Although it was a bit unsportsmanlike, the feeling of bullying was really cool! Felix rolled his eyes at Jiang Yuan and said, "Jiang, are you really not afraid of their parents coming over?" Jiang Yuan waved his hand: "Don't worry, I'll just pass the ball a few times and take a couple of shots, I'm not going to fight." Felix couldn't help but complain about his roommate: "The main players of the Portuguese Super League champions are playing soccer, why don't you take a break during this time?" "Joao, why do I feel like you're more anxious than me? There's still a game to play. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to say that Porto is the champion now?" Felix took out his phone, opened the Portuguese Super League official website, and displayed the current league rankings in front of Jiang Yuan: "Penafiel, so far this season, has accumulated a total of 33 points in 22 games, ranking last. Award, you are not going to tell me that you can't beat this kind of team, right?" Jiang Yuan was unable to respond to Felix's words for a moment. It seemed that this was indeed correct. The first team played against the last team. Unless Porto received two red cards in the opening, Penafiel would have no chance of winning. Even so, Jiang Yuan would never open champagne at halftime before winning the championship: "Joao, I think we should still respect every opponent. Football is absurd sometimes, am I right?" Felix was just about to say something when the bolt they had called arrived in the distance. Why does this car feel familiar? Jiang Yuan got into the car first: "Sir, let's go to the stadium next to Carmo Church. Thank you. Eh? Wait a minute!" Jiang Yuan's pupils suddenly dilated violently, as if he had seen something extraordinary. "Jiang, what's wrong with you?" Felix then sat in the back seat of the car and finally understood why Jiang Yuan was surprised. Isn’t this the bolt driver who drives the hearse? "Hello, sir." Felix greeted timidly. The driver stepped on the accelerator and said enthusiastically: "Jiang, it's you again. Oh my God! Do you know that you are now a star in Porto? Oh no, you are now a star in Portugal! I declare that this trip is free!" Logically speaking, Jiang Yuan should be happy to be recognized by the fans, but Jiang Yuan is not happy at all now: "Thank you, but... can you drive slower, we are not in a hurry" The driver patted his chest and assured: "No problem" Then there was a sudden brake, and Jiang Yuan and Felix's souls almost rushed out of their bodies. …… (End of this chapter)
