Chapter 50 Effortless Two weeks later in the Portuguese U2 League, Jiang Yuan played his third game for Porto the first two games, he came on as a substitute in the 86th and 65th minutes respectively, and scored two goals in both games. Today, Jiang Yuan finally got his wish and participated in the match against Victoria U17 as the starting left winger under the arrangement of Alvarenga. "Brothers, the live broadcast has begun. I read the news from the team before the game. Jiang Yuan will be the starting lineup this time!" Ye Hao is a Chinese student studying in Porto, and he is currently live streaming on his mobile phone. As a football fan, when he learned that a 16-year-old football player was training in the place where he was studying abroad, he rushed over as soon as possible to share Jiang Yuan's first-hand information with the audience in China who could not see the game. "Brothers, although I was not present in the first two games, I checked the game statistics. Jiang Yuan has scored 4 goals and 1 assist so far, so the head coach of Porto U17 will let Jiang Yuan start today!" Ye Hao was sitting in the audience, looking somewhat excited. Since he had already posted live broadcast previews on various domestic forums, a large number of fans flocked to the show as soon as it started, many of whom came specifically to see Jiang Yuan. [2 games, 4 goals, 1 assist, is Chinese football so awesome now? ] [It has to be Jiang Yuan, this kid has been smart since he was young! ]
[What, someone from China entered Porto? Oh, it’s the U17 team, that’s fine! ] [What do you mean U17 is fine? If you are so awesome, why don’t you join the U17 team of a European team? What’s the point of saying that on the Internet? ] [Hurry up, the game has started, Victoria U17, right? Jiang Yuan scored 5 goals on them! ] [I watched Jiang Yuan's live broadcast when he played in the Jiangsu Provincial Super League. His speed is indeed good, but his dribbling in a small area has obvious flaws. It will be very difficult for him to play well in Europe! ] …… The audience in the live broadcast room talked a lot about this young player who had just been studying abroad for less than a month. Most of them were encouraging Jiang Yuan, but a small number of people insisted on nitpicking and said that Jiang Yuan had problems with his skills here and there, or that he handled things poorly here and there. In any case, Jiang Yuan knew nothing now because he was in the player tunnel and the game was about to begin. "Jiang, this is your first start. Are you nervous?" Felix behind him patted Jiang Yuan on the shoulder. Jiang Yuan shrugged: "Why are you so nervous? I'm telling you, if you can't get past the opponent, just pass the ball to me!" Felix's mouth twitched. He remembered that he was the one who said this to Jiang Yuan first. I didn't expect that Jiang Yuan would use it to make fun of me. There's nothing we can do. Everyone saw Jiang Yuan's performance in the first two games, and there was really nothing to complain about. It is hard to imagine that a player who has just joined the youth team can show such strong adaptability and conquer coach Alvarenga in just two games. The teammates in front began to move forward slowly, and Jiang Yuan also realized that the game was about to begin! "Here I am, I see Jiang Yuan, haha, an Asian face is still a bit out of place in the Portuguese league!" Seeing Jiang Yuan walking out of the player tunnel, Ye Hao was so excited that he quickly plugged in the power bank and focused the camera on Jiang Yuan. There were not many fans at the scene, perhaps even less than the number of Chinese fans in Ye Hao’s live broadcast room. Compared with the fans at the scene who were cheering for their home team, the Chinese fans in the live broadcast room didn’t particularly care who would win or lose between the two teams. Their purpose was very clear, they came just to see Jiang Yuan! The game was about to begin. Rojas and Jiang Yuan stood at the kick-off point in the center circle. This was a new tactic created by head coach Alvarenga. Captain Semedo, who was good at passing the ball, was moved from the center circle to the backcourt. Jiang Yuan replaced Semedo in the first wave of attack.
After the start of the game, Porto U17 maintained a high-intensity attack. With the experience of the previous two games, Porto's teammates would intentionally or unintentionally pass the ball to Jiang Yuan a few more times. Jiang Yuan did not disappoint his teammates' expectations. He successfully broke through on the left and passed the ball to Rojas. Rojas did not shoot, but passed the ball back to Jiang Yuan who came from behind. Facing the defense, Jiang Yuan easily scored with a volley. 1: 0! Jiang Yuan scored a goal with a long shot in the 7th minute of the game. After scoring the goal, Jiang Yuan spread his hands, looking calm. Now he can be said to be in a state of complete ease in Portugal's U17 league. Seeing their compatriots score a goal, more than 1000 Chinese fans in the live broadcast room also became excited. [Fuck, this long shot is awesome. It’s only been a short while since the start of the game. Jiang Yuan really has the ability, and he’s not just exaggerating.] [Don’t mind those idiots. They only know how to yell on the internet. In real life, they probably don’t even know what offside is! ] [I see hope for Chinese football in Jiang Yuan. Hope! ] [Objectively speaking, Jiang Yuan's performance this time is indeed good, much better than when he played in the provincial league a month ago. Is overseas training really effective? ] [Jiang Yuan's ten-year-old fan came uninvited! ] [Host, I'll give you a rocket. Can you rush to the court and say "Come on" to Jiang Yuan? Thank you, Host! ] …… There was no much celebration after Jiang Yuan scored the goal, and the second goal started immediately. Before the Victoria team took a penalty kick, Jiang Yuan said to the captain Semedo: "Try to pass the ball to me, that defender can't defend me!" Jiang Yuan is now getting more confident in every game he plays for the U17 team. Semedo gave Jiang Yuan a thumbs up to show that he understood. The Victoria Youths, who were behind at home, seemed a little flustered and kept threatening Porto's penalty area with crosses from the bottom. At this time, the role of Semedo as a sweeping defensive midfielder is reflected. Semedo's biggest feature is his large defensive coverage area, which has a lot to do with his defensive skills. Of course the most important thing is that Semedo runs very fast! "Shh!" Semedo made a steal from the backcourt, and the ball rolled to the feet of attacking midfielder Toni, who passed the ball to Jiang Yuan. Before Jiang Yuan received the ball, he looked up and observed for a while, and found Rojas standing on the offside line. Without hesitation, Jiang Yuan dug the studs of his supporting foot into the ground and passed the ball to Rojas with the outside of his right foot. The ball bypassed the two lines of defense of Victoria U17 and rolled to Rojas' feet as if it was controlled by remote control. ! There was no way Rojas would miss this great opportunity, he swung his thigh and sprinted into the penalty area. At this time, Victoria's central defender caught up and pulled Rojas in the penalty area, trying to disrupt Rojas' center of gravity and disrupt his shot. Rojas was also smart and fell down directly.
"Beep!" The referee decisively awarded a penalty kick and Rojas stood up and took the ball from the spectators on the sidelines. Just when everyone was thinking that Porto U17's first penalty taker would take the penalty, Rojas suddenly looked at Jiang Yuan who was rushing over from the backcourt. …… (End of this chapter)
