Chapter 42 Jiang Yuan's Scouting ReportPorto Gaia Training Center. "Get on top, bastard, what are you doing standing there, get on top and defend!" At the Porto youth team training base, U17 head coach Losos Alvarenga is training his players. Porto's U17 has a total of 27 players, most of whom are of Portuguese descent, with a few Americans as well. Enrique brought Jiang Yuan to Alvarenga. "Losos, this is the new guy I brought for you!" Enrique pushed Jiang Yuan in front of Alvarenga. He was mainly responsible for the observation and signing of young players, so compared to the first team head coach Lopetegui, Enrique was more familiar with the coaching staff of the youth team. Alvarenga looked Jiang Yuan up and down, revealing a surprised expression: "Enrique, this is... Asian? Japanese or Korean?" Enrique shook his head: "Neither! He is from China and will be 17 in a few months. I signed a youth contract with him. I want you to observe him for a while to see if this kid has football talent." Hearing that Jiang Yuan was from China, Alvarenga couldn't help but frown. "China, that place doesn't seem to have produced many successful players. This kid's height is okay, but his skills...are they good enough?"
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yuan, who was standing nearby, suddenly spoke: "Mr. Losos, I understand Portuguese..." Jiang Yuan touched his head, looking a little embarrassed. "Hahaha, kid, sorry, I didn't mean to offend you!" Alvarenga extended his hand to Jiang Yuan to express his friendship to Jiang Yuan, without mentioning how good Jiang Yuan's football skills were. Judging from Jiang Yuan’s nationality, Porto seems to be planning to launch a massive attack on the Chinese market. Alvarenga reacted immediately when he saw the suitcase Jiang Yuan was pulling. "Joao, is there an empty bed in your dormitory? Take this Chinese boy to your place. His name is Jiang Yuan. You two should get to know each other well!" As he spoke, a player who was in training ran down from the court. Jiang Yuan stretched out his right hand to him and looked at this teammate at the same time. Isn't this Felix? "Jiang Yuan" "Qiangyuan? Hello, I'm Felix! Portuguese" Felix hugged Jiang Yuan and then took Jiang Yuan to their dormitory. "Qiang, I heard from Mr. Losos that you are Chinese? Chinese football players are quite rare!" Felix smacked his lips. "It's Jiang, not Qiang! And it's not that there are few football players in China, it's that there are few who can play football in Europe." Jiang Yuan corrected him, saying that it was not that Chinese football players were rare, it was just that there were not many of them in Europe. "Sorry, Jiang, Jiang!" Felix showed his big white teeth, opened the door, and enthusiastically helped Jiang Yuan carry the luggage. The dormitory in the youth training camp is for two people per room. I guess this is why Felix was so enthusiastic when he saw Jiang Yuan. It seems that this guy has been lonely for too long. However, Jiang Yuan's bed was filled with Felix's clothes and perfume.
"Sorry, sorry, this is my stuff..." Felix was extremely embarrassed and quickly took out his things one by one and stuffed them into his locker. Since there haven't been any new players in the U17 youth training camp for a month or so, Felix is used to putting his things on the bed opposite, which makes it convenient to use and take. "It's okay. By the way, Felix, you play as a left winger, right?" Jiang Yuan changed the topic and started asking about football. "How do you know? I'm really a winger. I can run really fast!" Felix pulled up his white and blue sweatpants, showing off his thigh muscles to Jiang Yuan. "Jiang, what position do you play?" "Winger" "Winger? Are you on the left or right?" When Felix heard that Jiang Yuan was a winger, he immediately became interested. There is a lot of interaction between full-backs and wingers in a game. "Left Road, what about you?" "I am also on the left road!" Felix became excited and rushed towards Jiang Yuan and gave him a bear hug. "Jiang, if we are assigned to the same team during training, if you can't get past someone, pass the ball to me. I run very fast, the fastest on the team!" Felix said with a smile, and it can be seen that he is really confident in his speed. "Okay, okay, I'll try my best! But we're both left wingers, so how can we be on the same team?" Jiang Yuan smiled. "It's okay. I can play on the right side, too. Pass the ball to me! Just watch how I dribble past the defense. There aren't many people here who can stop me!" Felix waved his hands. He was absolutely confident in his extraordinary abilities. Yes, Jiang Yuan blinked and almost forgot that Felix was a two-legged general. After exchanging greetings with his Portuguese roommate, Jiang Yuan began to pack his things. The winter in Portugal is not cold, but Jiang's mother was still very worried that Jiang Yuan would catch a cold, so she stuffed a lot of clothes into his suitcase. The suitcase is big, but it can’t hold a mother’s love. …… Jiang Yuan and Felix were having a great chat, not knowing that Enrique and Alvarenga on the field were talking about them. "Paul, is this the club's idea or yours?" Alvarenga looked at Enrique, both of them were chewing gum. "It's a bit of both. I think more. This kid has a unique way of playing football."
"Quite unique?" Alvarenga frowned. He knew his old friend's vision very well. Anyone who could be described as unique by Enrique was not an ordinary person. But the problem was that there had never been a Chinese player in the history of Porto's first team. "Look at this!" Enrique handed a document to Alvarenga, which was Jiang Yuan's scouting report. "Why didn't you take this thing out earlier?" Alvarenga rolled his eyes at Enrique. Enrique shrugged. "I haven't watched many games, and a lot of my physical data is from their school..." "It doesn't matter. As long as there is a report, I'll take a look!" Alvarenga opened the folder, which contained a piece of white paper with Jiang Yuan's photo pasted on the top. In the photo, Jiang Yuan is still wearing the Qingshan Middle School football team uniform.
