Chapter 139 Casemiro is red!"Casemiro came to the first landing point of the ball, with Penafiel's midfielder Fontes and defender Ribeiro in front and behind him. The Brazilian midfielder seemed to be in some trouble..." "With the support from Jiang Yuan, Jiang Yuan returned to defend on the right side of Casemiro. Beautiful! Porto successfully got the ball out, Jiang Yuan's long pass! The ball landed at Neves' feet" …… Although they were in the first place and the last place, the situation on the field was extremely fierce. Porto launched many attacks in the frontcourt and had a ball possession rate of up to 10% in the last 70 minutes. Unfortunately, a higher ball possession rate does not mean more goals. The game has now reached the 13th minute, and although the game is very intense, the score between the two sides is still 0:0. "Ricardo!" Neves shouted, took a step and then made a long pass to Quaresma on the right, who beautifully took the ball off the back of his right foot and started to sprint forward. According to Quaresma's character, he should choose to play a one-two pass with the full-back, and then cut inside to shoot. But Quaresma did not choose to do so. Instead, he ran very slowly, as if giving Penafiel a chance. "Why... isn't it moving?"
Hemiel frowned. Now Quaresma didn't speed up and kept dribbling the ball. Isn't this a waste of a counterattack opportunity? Lopetegui smiled, as if he saw Quaresma's intention: "Hermil, don't be in a hurry..." As soon as Lopetegui finished speaking, Quaresma suddenly accelerated, used his right foot to hook his left foot to get rid of the opponent, and then put his left hand in front of his chest to block Ustarisc's physical confrontation. "Hey!" Quaresma suddenly shouted and sent a cross. But the problem was that Quaresma was still a long way from the baseline, and a cross from this position could not pose a header threat. Just when everyone thought that Quaresma's pass was going to be wasted, a figure suddenly jumped out from the left! All everyone saw was the number on the back of his blue and white jersey. Number 27! "Snapped!" A crisp and powerful sound was heard, and Quaresma's cross hit the outside of Jiang Yuan's right foot. Then the ball flew out in the air like a sword, passed through Martinez's ear and went straight into the net. During the whole process, Penafiel's goalkeeper Coelho did not even make any saving action. His vision was blocked by the defensive players. He had no idea and did not expect that Jiang Yuan would actually kick the ball directly with the outside of his foot from that position. "GOLOOOOOOO——" "1:0, 1:0" “Inacreditável, Inacreditávelllll (Incredible)” In the 15th minute of the game, Quaresma's cross from the right assisted Jiang Yuan to volley into the goal! "Wow!" Jiang Yuan was naturally very excited after scoring the goal. He ran directly from the left to the right to hug Quaresma: "Ricardo, perfect pass!" Martinez jogged over, stretched out his arms and hugged Jiang Yuan and Quaresma at the same time: "Excellent! Jiang, you are really great!" "PORTO PORTO PORTO PORTO PORTO PORTO" “Quando alguem se atrever a sofucar” “Ogrito audaz da tua ardente voz” More than 2000 home team fans at the Dragon Stadium raised their arms high and sang in support of Jiang Yuan's goal, making the less than visiting team fans tremble in fear.
This is the helplessness of a weak team facing a strong team away from home! The players can’t compete, and the fans can’t compete even more! At the scene, Hemiel patted his NB training jacket and cast a surprised look at Lopetegui: "Hu Lun, what you said just now... Didn't you guess that Jiang would volley long ago?" Before Quaresma passed the ball, Lopetegui smiled and told Hermione not to be anxious. However, Jiang Yuan scored a goal directly from behind; it was a volley, which made Hermione feel a little unbelievable. Could this be the gap between the head coach and the assistant coach? Lopetegui was speechless for a while. He originally thought that Quaresma would wait for Penafiel's defense line to retreat before making a reverse triangle pass, but he didn't expect Quaresma to cross the ball directly from outside the penalty area, and the pass was to the back post. The worst thing is that Jiang Yuan really kicked the damn ball into the goal! So, Lopetegui said frankly: "You know, I have always been very optimistic about Jiang. A volley from that position is almost certain to go in!" …… After scoring a goal, Porto's morale was high. After Jiang Yuan scored, Porto took the lead in a real sense. That is to say, as long as Porto maintains the score of 1:0, the Porto players can lift the championship trophy at the Dragon Stadium after the game. Coach Lopetegui and the players on the field all thought so. Porto 15 minutes later was completely different from the Porto 15 minutes ago. As soon as Neves received the ball, he passed it back to Casemiro. Casemiro was also very smart. Facing the pressure, he directly played back-pass with Reyes and Danilo. "Fuck! Fuck!" "Andre, why don't you run over to grab him? What do you mean by stopping halfway? Damn it!" "Vitor, stand back a little, that position is very dangerous, be careful of No. 27!" Penafiel's head coach Tony was extremely angry. This 40-year-old English man was really rude when he scolded people. All 11 players on the field were scolded by him one by one without exception. Sometimes Jiang Yuan could still hear Tony's voice while running on the field. I have to say, this guy has a really loud voice! "It's true that Porto's backcourt pass is a delaying move, but the game is less than 20 minutes in, and it will be ineffective to continue like this. It can be guessed that Porto's passive attack and active defense attitude in the backcourt is to look for new attacking opportunities!" "Neves's back pass went wrong. Damn it. Rabiola rushed out. The Penafiel players smelled a chance to score. My God, will Porto pay the price for the pass error in the backcourt?" "Neves was chasing back quickly, Casemiro blocked in front of Rabiola, Rabiola passed the ball to the left, Aldair had been waiting there for a long time" "Outside the penalty area, cycling... Indi defends very well, Aldair seems to have almost no chance! Wait, full-back Ustaritz rushes up, Aldair passes the ball, and Ustaritz successfully finishes at the bottom!" "Cross the ball, Indi stretched his legs but couldn't reach the ball!" "Rabiola's header!" "wo..." The audience was just about to shout when goalkeeper Elton blocked Rabiola's header. Although Elton is only Porto's second goalkeeper, he has an advantage that Fabiano does not have - experience. From the angle of Rabiola's jump and head just now, Elton could roughly guess the ball's attack route, and pushed the ball out almost as a conditioned reflex. "Beep!" The referee points to the corner flagpole, corner kick for Penafiel! Jiang Yuan jogged all the way from the center circle to the front of his own penalty area. As one of the players with the best heading ability in the team, Jiang Yuan played an important role in Lopetegui's corner kick defense tactics. "Jiang, come here!" Elton waved to Jiang Yuan, and Jiang Yuan hurried over and put his ear close to Elton's mouth. When defending a corner kick, the outfield players must communicate well with the goalkeeper. "Jiang, you stay and watch number 19, and let Ricardo watch number 11." After saying that, Elton patted Jiang Yuan on the shoulder.
Jiang Yuan was a little confused, but in line with the principle of trusting his teammates, he still told Quaresma about Elton's on-the-spot change. According to Lopetegui's pre-match plan, Quaresma was responsible for marking midfielder Fontes in this corner kick defense, but for some reason, Elton made a temporary change. "Snapped!" Hend took the corner kick, and Jiang Yuan stared at Rabiola. If Rabiola went to the left, he would never go to the right. When the ball was about to fly to the back post, Jiang Yuan turned around and jumped up. Rabiola, who was 1 meters tall, was actually pinned down by him. "what!" Jiang Yuan closed his eyes slightly and hit the ball with the protrusion of his forehead near his temple. The position was not accurate, so the ball was not completely cleared. Fortunately, Casemiro reached the second point in time and headed the ball directly into the opponent's half. "Hoo! Jiang, good job!" Elton and Jiang Yuan high-fived each other, and only then did Jiang Yuan understand the reason why Elton changed his mind at the last minute. It seems that he thinks Quaresma is too short to defend against Rabiola. No wonder he didn’t tell Quaresma directly, but asked Jiang Yuan to relay it! "We can see that Porto's defensive tactics don't seem to gain any benefits on the field!" "Lopetegui has not considered this enough. As the saying goes, offense is the best defense. Shouldn't a strong team like Porto create more opportunities through offense when playing against a weaker team?" "Although Jiang Yuan and Martinez both have good speed in the frontcourt, the defensive counterattack tactics do not seem to be applicable in this game. Porto still needs to find a way to launch an attack from the flanks!" "Fortunately, Jiang Yuan's previous volley was enough to make up for the loss. Porto is not under much pressure at the moment." "Here it comes, Casemiro steals the ball in the backcourt, and the Brazilian midfielder makes the key defense again. Jiang Yuan has already run out, and he is reaching out!" "But Casemiro had no intention of giving the ball to Jiang Yuan. He looked up and passed the ball directly to Neves, who then passed it to Quaresma. A beautiful advance! This is how a strong team should play against a weak team!" A Kun applauded Porto's smooth offensive advancement. A football match is only interesting when the two teams attack each other. Anyone who watches it will fall asleep if it is just one-sided attacking or defending. "Hey!" Quaresma knocked the ball from his right foot to his left foot with a very fancy dribble and passed the ball to Indi. Indi started to run along the flank. With a height of 1 meters, he played as a central defender in this game. Although Indi is sturdy, he is not slow at all when running! "Snapped!" Indi sent a cross. Front point! Jiang Yuan and Martinez made a crossing run at the top of the arc. Jiang Yuan, who cut in from the left side, rushed quickly to Bruno, then jumped forward at the speed of a running start, and his crown just reached the ball. So, Jiang Yuan didn't think twice and swung his head from right to left. The ball hit his forehead and changed direction, entering the net through the gap between goalkeeper Coelho's left hand and the post. Because the position was too tight, Coelho was unable to make a save this time! "The ball is in!" "It's Jiang Yuan again, scoring twice, Jiang Yuan scored twice!" A Kun was so excited that he felt like he was playing on the field when he saw his compatriots scoring goals. Immersed in the 34th round of the Portuguese Super League, Porto's championship match, it was such a great feeling! [I don’t have much education, but I’ll give you the word “awesome”! Jiang Yuan, you are really awesome! ] [This header was really a miss. It was not easy for Jiang Yuan to lock the ball in that position. It can be seen that Porto has specially strengthened the physical training of Jiang Yuan! ]
[Trivia: Jiang Yuan currently has 11 goals, ranking 7th in the Portuguese Super League scorer list. The top 15 scorers are all stable starters with 30+ appearances, and only Jiang Yuan has only played for half a season. This efficiency is really terrifying! ] [It’s stable! It’s stable! We are the champions! We are still the champions! ] 【Take off, take off, brothers, the first Portuguese Super League championship for Chinese people will not be next year or the year after, but today! The championship is today! 】 [Okay, now it seems like the championship is secure. Porto has been having a rough season, but it finally came together. Brothers, I'm going to sleep now. Bye! ] [The fans of the team have gone to bed, but the fans of the team are still holding on] [Porto No. 27 Jiang Yuan jersey, if you want it, please PM me, 188 per set, free shipping, direct from Fujian] 【6666】 …… "JIANG!!!!" Jiang Yuan spread his arms near the corner flagpole and the fans shouted his name. This is the charm of football. After you score a goal, the eyes of tens of thousands of people in the entire stadium will be focused on you. At this moment, your mind is empty and all you can feel is the tightening of your muscles all over your body. Because at this moment, your brain has been occupied by dopamine! "Boa bolaaaa! (Good ball!)" "Maravilhoso! (Great goal!)" "No saia! (Don't go!)" …… The fans were very enthusiastic. I don’t know when it started, but they have already recognized this kid from the East. Porto fans are lucky. They don't have to envy their elders who have decades of experience in watching football and have witnessed the journey of many stars from their debut to fame. Because they witnessed all this in just 5 months! "Damn it, damn it, this is so exciting, asshole!" Lopetegui is the one with the most complicated emotions. As the head coach of Porto, the better his players perform, the happier he should be. But Lopetegui couldn't be happy at all. Instead, he felt indescribable sadness when he saw Jiang Mei score twice. Asshole, no matter how well you play, everyone will slip away after the season ends! Hemiel licked his lips and said, "Hulun, I now feel that the 1150 million euros in liquidated damages are not enough. What's the difference between us and giving money to other teams?" Lopetegui let out a sigh of relief: "What can I do? The contract was signed in March. Damn, Jiang's performance was not so outrageous at that time. But we should also think on the bright side." "good aspect?" Hemil frowned, somewhat uncomprehending the meaning behind Lopetegui's words. Lopetegui made a "0" gesture with his hand, and then explained: "I said it once before, do you know how much I spent on Jiang Yuan? 0 euros, 0 euros! And then it took me half a season to sell him for 1150 million euros. You may find it absurd, but this is my vision!" Lopetegui raised his chest, his expression revealing the confidence unique to Spanish players.
In half a season, from 0 euros to 1150 million euros, there is no doubt that Lopetegui's signings will go down in the history of Porto. Of course, what Lopetegui doesn’t know now is that he completed the most profitable transfer and the most unprofitable transfer in Porto’s history in half a season… "29 minutes, 2:0! This is Jiang Yuan, this is Porto. Dear fans, I believe you are all as excited as I am now. With Jiang Yuan's volley and header, Porto leads Penafiel 2:0" "We can see that the visiting players on the field have almost lost their fighting spirit. Currently, Penafiel is ranked last in the league. Even if they win this game, it cannot change their fate of being relegated." "Get back to your positions, the referee blows the whistle, and the game starts again!" "I'd like to take this opportunity to talk to you about the news about Jiang Yuan's transfer that has been circulating on the forum recently. I personally think this news is relatively reliable. Because you see, Porto currently has three left wingers: Jiang Yuan, Martinez, and Brahimi." "Under such circumstances, Lopetegui is looking for a new left winger in the summer window, which is enough to prove that one of the three left wingers will definitely leave the team." "Of course, if you want to ask why Jiang Yuan is the most likely to leave the team, I want to remind you that Porto advertised Jiang Yuan's transfer fee as 2000 million euros, but in fact Jiang Yuan's liquidated damages are only 1150 million euros. As far as I know, there are many teams in the top five leagues willing to offer Jiang Yuan more than 1000 million euros!" The male anchor A Kun gave his analysis. Unconsciously, the way he expressed Jiang Yuan's liquidated damages had changed from "as high as 1150 million euros" to "only 1150 million euros", which is enough to show the change in Jiang Yuan's value in A Kun's mind. The fans in the live broadcast room were discussing passionately, and the players on the field were also competing passionately. "Go away!" Jiang Yuan pushed Fontes away with his shoulder and passed between Braga and Ustaritz. Braga's thigh hit Jiang Yuan's hip joint, but fortunately Jiang Yuan had a strong ability to control his body. After staggering twice, he immediately stabilized his center of gravity. "Hey Hey hey!" Neves hurriedly sent a straight pass, and at this time the young player's disadvantage was reflected. Neves passed the ball a little hastily, over-pursuing the angle and ignoring the speed of the ball, which resulted in the ball being destroyed by Braga. Porto's frontcourt throw-in was handled by Kurt. Kurt took the ball from the caddy, wrapped the ball with his jersey and rubbed it a few times. The purpose was to wipe off the stains and rain on the ball, restore the friction that the ball should have, and ensure the accuracy of the hand-thrown ball. Jiang Yuan and Quintero kept wandering around the sideline, trying to create an opportunity for Kurt to throw the ball, but Braga and Fontes followed very closely, standing in front of Jiang Yuan and not giving Kurt a chance to throw the ball. So, Jiang Yuan took a big step forward, and when he was waiting for Braga to catch up, he suddenly pushed off the ground with his front foot and rushed backwards with his whole body. ! Kurt smelled the opportunity immediately and hit the ball to Jiang Yuan's feet, who knocked the ball back to Kurt, who kicked it to Quintero. Facing Fontes' defense, Quintero chose to kick the ball, and the ball returned to Jiang Yuan's feet again. "Snapped!" Jiang Yuan made a long pass and the ball was sent to Quaresma on the right. With almost perfect short passes, three Porto players successfully cracked Penafiel's man-to-man tactics with consecutive passes. The commentator exclaimed, and Akun also expressed his amazement. You know, among the three players who just played on the sideline, the oldest one, Cote, was only 34 years old, which was enough to reflect the excellent teamwork ability of Porto players. "The ball comes to Quaresma's feet, let's see what kind of performance the Portuguese star will bring today" "Go down the flank? No! Quaresma chose to cut inside, here it comes! Another classic cut inside! Will this be the third goal scored by Porto in the first half!" "Continuously changing the rhythm, he shook off Ribeiro and shot!"
"Hiss~ Quaresma's kick was too straight, the ball didn't even create an arc, and went straight into Coelho's arms. What a pity. Porto's attack was undoubtedly a failure..." "Wait, Coelho gets the ball and runs to the edge of the penalty area quickly, then throws the ball to Ustaritz with a powerful hand!" "Penafiel wants to use this opportunity to launch a counterattack!" Just as Akun said, since the attack had just been completed, Porto's entire attack line was now standing very forward. Goalkeeper Coelho smelled the opportunity, threw the ball over Neves, and accurately found Ustaritz. "Damn it, get back on defense!" Martinez yelled and rushed out first. Unfortunately, no matter how fast a person runs, he can't be faster than the ball. Ustaritz, who got the ball from Coelho, did not hesitate. He made a long pass with his left foot and directly transferred the ball to the right, where Martins stopped the ball steadily. Jiang Yuan quickly chased back, trying to tackle the ball from Martins' feet, but Martins did not give Jiang Yuan this opportunity. He made a precise diagonal pass and the ball came in front of Rabiola. Casemiro and Reyes stood on Rabiola's left and right respectively, with Reyes standing slightly closer to Rabiola. Reyes should have used his body to block Rabiola's sprint route, but he didn't do so, which gave Rabiola the opportunity. !!! The audience held their breath. Now as long as Rabiola could catch the ball, it would be a one-on-one opportunity. At this moment, Casemiro turned around and started, and the instinctive reaction of the defensive midfielder made him unconsciously reach out to grab Rabiola. Rabiola was not a striker who was good at physical confrontation, and he fell to the ground after being dragged by Casemiro. "Fuck!" When Jiang Yuan saw this scene, he was so scared that his heart almost jumped out of his chest. "nonono!" Casemiro knew he had caused trouble and immediately ran to the referee to ask for forgiveness. The players from both teams reacted quickly and rushed over in a few big strides. Martinez and Braga quarreled in front of the referee. Martinez thought it was a dive by Rabiola, but Braga insisted that it was Casemiro who pulled Rabiola down. The referee ignored the arguing captains of the two teams, pointed at Casemiro, and then took out a card from his chest pocket. "Red card!" …… (End of this chapter)
