Football: Starting with the Crescent Moon Slash

Chapter 42 Jiang Shen, you are truly a god!

Under the watchful eyes of the entire audience.

With a loud "bang," the ball, traveling at incredible speed and accompanied by a strong gust of wind, slammed into the net.

Iraizoz was completely caught off guard and could only watch helplessly as the ball went into the net.

As expected of Carlos's "Heavy Cannon Slam"!

The moment the goal was scored, the entire Bernabéu stadium fell unusually quiet, with only the crisp sound echoing in the night sky.

Beep!

Goal stands!

The referee pointed to the center circle!

He Wei raised his arms and shouted in the live broadcast room: "Awesome! Amazing! Amazing! Jiang Yan! God Jiang! You are truly a god!"

Wow! Jiang Yan actually has a long-range shooting skill? That's amazing!

[Upstairs, this is obviously a lucky guess! He just randomly guessed and it went in!]

[Same position, same shot, last time it went high and wide, this time it went in! That's incredible!]

Was it really just a fluke?

[Don't argue! I came from the youth academy. That shot, in terms of both timing and power, was top-notch! Especially that powerful strike, it reminded me of Roberto Carlos back in the day!]

"hiss……"

Benitez stood on the sidelines, arms crossed, calmly watching what had just happened on the field.

After a moment, he said in confusion, "My cheap apprentice actually has a long-range shot? Is this the result of secret training...?"

A fellow Athletic Bilbao player patted goalkeeper Iraizoz on the back.

"It's okay, it's normal to miss a world-class goal like that."

Just 10 minutes into the game, Real Madrid took an early lead thanks to a brilliant long-range shot from Jiang Yan.

"Brother Jiang, that was an amazing shot!"

A voice came from behind him, and Jiang Yan turned around.

"Oh, it's Matteo. Who do we have here? You're three years older than me, calling me 'brother' is too much for me!"

The game continued, with Athletic Bilbao's number 5 midfielder, Eraso, in possession of the ball.

Ellaso was well aware of Jiang Yan's terrifying strength, so he naturally dared not confront him head-on and chose to switch sides to attack.

"Athletic Bilbao switched sides to attack; they seem to have realized Jiang Yan is no ordinary player today!"

Snapped!

Eraso made a long pass to Leque on the left.

Leque then passed the ball to Adu in front.

They easily bypassed Real Madrid's midfield stranglehold.

Although Adu plays as a striker, he is a true Spaniard with good ball control and technique in close quarters.

It can protect the ball even when being interfered with by defenders.

"Kroos is pressing Durant."

"Durant passed the ball! The target is..."

"Elaso, making a late run, receives the ball and surges into the penalty area!"

"Not only Elaso, but Leque on the other side has also flanked us."

"Jiang Yan! It's Jiang Yan! Jiang Yan actually chased them all the way into the penalty area!"

"Eraso passed the ball!"

Jiang Yan successfully disrupted Eraso, but failed to stop his pass.

The rest is up to my teammates!

Leque, positioned perfectly, received the ball and easily changed direction, seemingly about to get past Varane and face the goalkeeper one-on-one.

In a moment of desperation, Varane pulled on Leque without thinking, knocking him to the ground.

"Holy crap! Penalty!"

Having watched football for so many years, He Wei recognized at a glance that it was a penalty kick, even though Varane's move was very subtle!

The referee pulled out a yellow card, effectively giving Varane a penalty and a yellow card.

"I knew it, Varane! Just block out the space and let him shoot however he wants. It's not like he'll even score. Why wait until he gets beaten before you make your move?"

[What a biased referee! All of them at Bilbao are actors!]

[They stubbornly hold on outside the penalty area, but become like Lin Daiyu (a frail character in Chinese literature) inside!]

This is going to be a really exciting match!

This penalty kick was naturally taken by the first-choice penalty taker, Eraso.

approach……

Break down the door!

boom!

Goal!

Navas made a save attempt, but the ball flew to the other side of the goal.

1: 1!

Less than five minutes after the previous goal, Athletic Bilbao equalized with a penalty.

"Although we conceded a penalty, fans don't need to worry. As long as Jiang Yan and the Xuanming Elders are on the field, a goal is only a matter of time!"

"Real Madrid fans in the live stream must be very nervous, but only 15 minutes have passed, and the game has only just begun!"

Jiang Yan, Kovacic, Kroos, Modric.

This midfield lineup of four can be described as top-heavy and bottom-light, and as for the bottom part...

"Hey, Matteo, if you encounter an enemy you can't handle, leave it to me."

"Brother Jiang, I'm sorry, it was my fault that we were breached in midfield just now."

Listening to Kovacic's words, Jiang Yan felt as if he were seeing himself two months ago.

Kovacic was also a new player who joined Real Madrid in the 15-16 season. With Real Madrid's midfield being severely overcrowded, he did not get much playing time.

"It's normal to experience some discomfort due to the change in environment... Keep going!"

Real Madrid kicks off, and the ball is at Kroos's feet.

When Kroos had the ball, Jiang Yan moved forward to the position behind Ronaldo and Benzema.

Always ready to receive a pass from Kroos.

Although they don't usually talk much, after going through so many games together, Jiang Yan only has admiration and trust for Kroos's passing skills.

"Jiang Yan has moved forward! It seems he intends to personally organize the attack!"

Kroos delivered a precise long pass to Jiang Yan, who was making a forward run.

The ball's landing point and the timing of the pass were impeccable.

Upon receiving the ball, Jiang Yan [from God's perspective] immediately launched an attack.

"There seems to be a loophole here!"

"Jiang Yan passed the ball!"

"Another knuckleball! Jiang Yan has delivered another knuckleball!"

Jiang Yan's dipping shot found Ronaldo on the left flank.

Upon seeing Ronaldo receive the ball, Athletic Bilbao immediately deployed two defenders to double-team him.

Facing a double-team from Athletic Bilbao, a cold glint flashed in Ronaldo's eyes, and he successfully dribbled past one of the defenders with a stepover.

The other player who was chasing him was forcibly pinned down by his body.

"Cristiano Ronaldo displayed his superb technique and exceptional physical abilities, dribbling past one defender and charging into the penalty area with the ball!" He Wei's voice grew increasingly excited.

I thought I'd be seeing Ronaldo score a solo goal.

But the Athletic Bilbao players were no pushovers either.

If one player gets beaten, just bring in another!

Laporte stood in Ronaldo's way.

Etecitta and Laporte double-teamed Ronaldo, putting him in a difficult position.

It's not that you can't shoot from this position, but the probability of scoring is extremely low.

If I pass the ball, there's no teammate positioned behind me to meet it...

"Brother Luo! Pass it to me!"

Cristiano Ronaldo drew the attention of two center-backs, allowing Benzema to finally create a wide opening.

boom!

Ronaldo made a pass, but the ball slipped through the gaps in the crowd.

The ball came to Benzema's feet.
