Football: Starting with the Crescent Moon Slash

Chapter 47: Isn't he being too cautious?

Sensing Jiang Yan's strange gaze, Salah felt a surge of anger rising within him.

"Is this Chinese kid... underestimating me?" Salah's intuition was very sharp.

What do you mean, Asia's best midfielder?

What hope for Real Madrid's future?

What new Beckham?

"I, Salah, will be the first to break into the world stage!"

……

"Jiang Yan faces off against Salah head-on! Who would have thought that the first stage for these two rising stars to clash would be the Champions League!"

"Salah accelerates!"

Jiang Yan did not rush to make a move!

"He's still observing!"

"Isn't he being a bit too cautious?"

"Faced with Salah's breakthrough, Jiang Yan's experience was superb; he preemptively seized the space Salah wanted to exploit!"

"As expected of the River God!"

……

At that moment, Salah's mind went completely blank.

He simply couldn't understand why this man always seemed to appear in the open spaces he wanted to break through!

"Could it be that he read my mind? How could that be! He can't read minds!"

Although wary of Jiang Yan's one-on-one defensive ability, Salah knew that his position was already very dangerous.

Casemiro was closing in from behind, and there was no extra space to pass the ball around me.

Salah made a desperate decision and attempted to overpower Jiang Yan with his speed.

"Let me show you my speed!"

Salah dribbled the ball once, then instantly accelerated, attempting to get past Jiang Yan's defense.

Seeing that Jiang Yan did not make a move immediately, Salah was secretly pleased:

"Even Asia's best midfielder isn't all that great!"

Just as he was thinking this,

"In terms of speed... he's far inferior to Gareth."

"Jiang Yan... Jiang Shen actually caught up with Salah!" Zhan Jun exclaimed in surprise.

Salah's pupils dilated in shock, but Jiang Yan made a surprising move, stealing the ball from the side!

What happened?

Salah was completely caught off guard; everything happened so fast!

While he stood there stunned, Jiang Yan had already led the Real Madrid players to switch between offense and defense!

Although Jiang Yan's speed stat is average, Nesta's [one-on-one defense] has greatly improved his defensive skills, and now he has the ability to catch up after a delay!

"Hey! Jiang!"

Bale's acceleration was as fast as ever; Jiang Yan had barely received the ball when Bale had already begun to accelerate.

Because he believed that Jiang Yan would definitely get the ball to his feet!

"Madrid! Madrid!"

The cheers from the fans on the sidelines sent Jiang Yan's adrenaline soaring.

One kick.

Just one kick!

Facing Salah's pursuit and Keita on the other side, Xabi Alonso immediately launched a 45° diagonal long pass. Jiang Yan delivered a precise diagonal long pass, finding Bale who had made a forward run.

"Now!"

After receiving the ball, Bale increased his speed again, leaving all the defenders around him behind.

Then, a cutback pass from inside the penalty area found Ronaldo, who was making a run into the box.

This is Benitez's tactic: when the midfield moves, the rest of the players must move with it, making a ripple effect throughout the entire game.

Faced with Real Madrid's massive forward press, Roma's backline was thrown into chaos.

in chaos.

Snapped!

Cristiano Ronaldo takes a shot.

With a whoosh, the ball went into the net.

"Goal!"

GOOOOOOAAAAALLLLL! ! !

Goal!

"The match has only been going on for 15 minutes, and Real Madrid has scored their first goal!"

"This goal demonstrated to the world what true prestige and strength of a top club really means!"

"Being number one in La Liga isn't something you do for nothing!"

Jiang Yan's long pass was absolutely audacious, a perfect, perfectly placed missile! He deserves 80% of the credit for that goal!!

[Holy crap! Jiang Shen is here, no surprises! As expected of the little ball dog's nightmare—Jiang Yan!]

Keep going! There's never too many goals!!

Even in a Champions League match, that goal was considered fast.

Seize the opponent's mistake, switch the ball with one touch, break through on the wing and then deliver a cutback cross!

This counter-attack goal was impeccable!

Cristiano Ronaldo excitedly ran towards the corner flag area.

One, two, three, siu—siu!!! !!! !!! !

This is Cristiano Ronaldo, this is a superstar! This is the Ballon d'Or winner!

In the stands, Real Madrid fans were more excited than ever before.

"Madrid!"

Boom!

"Madrid!"

Bang bang bang!

"Victory is certain!"

After scoring, Ronaldo became even more excited and quickly led his teammates back to their own half. A one-goal lead is not safe, especially in the Champions League!

Therefore, we need to score a second goal as soon as possible.

Regarding the task of getting into the starting lineup, Jiang Yan also agreed with Ronaldo's idea.

One goal isn't enough; Real Madrid needs more!

……

"Roma are clearly panicked after conceding a goal!"

"That's true. After witnessing Real Madrid's highly efficient counter-attacks, the players are afraid of making mistakes and being caught on the counter-attack again, so they are being very careful with their passes."

"That's the charm of counter-attacking football—high risk means high reward!"

"Real Madrid wants to score another goal! Looks like their chance is right in front of them!"

"Salah has the ball!"

"It's Jiang Yan again!"

"Salah has lost the ball again! It's Jiang Yan again! This is absolutely insane! In just 15 minutes, Jiang Yan has already made two perfect tackles!"

Jiang Yan intercepted the ball and passed it to Casemiro.

Casemiro, who received the ball, was quite impressed with his younger brother. Just a month ago, Jiang Yan was a greenhorn who wanted to learn defensive skills from him.

And now, facing a powerful new star whose value is ten million higher than his, he has shown such control!

Looking back now, a net worth of ten million was still too conservative for Jiang Yan.

After all, Salah, whom he was so afraid of robbing, only cost 20 million!

Casemiro passed the ball to Bale on the right, and Roma's midfielders were almost all gathered on Jiang Yan's flank, seemingly determined to attack down that path.

But the rest of Real Madrid's midfielders weren't fools either, and naturally they immediately turned the ball to the weak side.

Bale controlled the ball and then passed it to Modric, who had made a run forward.

Modric dribbled past two players, showcasing his skills as a midfield maestro.

"Modric is about to cross!"

Snapped!

Modric's cross was successfully blocked by the defender!

Dzeko won the second ball and reorganized the attack.

Jiang Yan was preparing to return to defense.

"Leave it to me!"

Hearing the sound behind him, Jiang Yan decisively ran towards the front.

Casemiro volunteered to take on the task of tracking back to defend.

Out of absolute trust in him, Jiang Yan ran towards the front of the field.

Through countless training sessions, Jiang Yan and the three midfielders at the ceremony had already developed a strong rapport.

Not only Jiang Yan, but even Modric started running forward.

"Casemiro tracks back! Casemiro makes a sliding tackle!"

"Dzeko has fallen!"

"The referee has indicated there are no problems!"

"Casemiro is observing... a long pass! Who's the target?"

……

"It's Jiang Yan!! Casemiro's long pass found our Jiang Yan!"

【Charge! River God!!】
