Football: Starting with the Crescent Moon Slash

"They...they stole it!"

"Jiang Yan has successfully intercepted Salah!"

Inside the live stream, the chat was flooded with comments.

【? 】

What happened? I only blinked, how did Salah get dispossessed?

[Same question! Has anyone seen what happened?]

[No way, that was so fast! I didn't even see it clearly! What happened?]

"Ahem, let's see if the director will replay Jiang Yan's steal."

On the big screen, the scene of Jiang Yan intercepting Salah was replayed in slow motion.

"amazing!"

"That's amazing!"

"The instant Salah dribbled forward, almost in the next second, Jiang Yan immediately tackled him and dispossessed him. Salah didn't even realize he'd been dispossessed! He staggered forward a few steps before realizing it!"

What?

[Jiang Yan is too amazing! It's practically inhuman!]

[Jiang Shen is so cool! This is what you call precision and elegance!]

"Jiang Yan, with his exceptional observation skills and almost superhuman reflexes, has intercepted the ball!"

"Jiang Yan... no, Jiang Shen! Jiang Shen has completely suppressed Salah!"

"His precise tackles remind me of Vieira, Makelele, and Kanté! Without a doubt, he has the potential to become a golden midfielder on par with these players!"

……

After Jiang Yan intercepted the ball, he didn't hesitate and immediately delivered a dipping shot to Modric in the attacking third.

The large number of players deployed in the attacking third created a vacuum in their man-to-man high-pressure pressing.

Meanwhile, Modric, the seasoned midfield maestro, is roaming in this most threatening area.

"Get back on defense! Get back on defense now!"

Spalletti on the sidelines made exaggerated gestures, raising his arms high and shouting wildly, directing his players to retreat and defend.

But it was too late.

Real Madrid's counter-attacks are incredibly fast!

After Jiang Yan passed the ball to Modric, the BBC trio moved forward into the penalty area.

Without any hesitation.

Switching from high pressing to low defense is not an easy task.

Salah tried his best, but he couldn't catch up with Jiang Yan's pass.

Modric dribbled the ball, and what greeted him was not only the Roma defense, but also the angry boos from the Roma fans.

This is what is known as home-field pressure.

When visiting team players arrive at the home stadium, they are "warmly welcomed" by the home fans. Boos are the least of their worries; it's not uncommon for them to throw trash, bananas, or even firecrackers from the corner area.

Under such pressure, Modric completed a clean and decisive dribble past his opponent.

After shaking off his defender, Modric used a brilliant outside-of-the-foot curve to find Bale, who was making a high-speed run.

A fully recovered Bell represents the shortest distance between two points.

He broke through the defenders on the wing simply by using his superior speed.

Spalletti was now completely panicked; there really wasn't a player in Roma's squad who could completely contain Bale.

The young full-backs sought advice from Maicon on how to defend against Bale, only to be met with his relentless shooing. Bale had clearly become Maicon's mental demon.

Now, Spalletti faces the same dilemma.

Now, he can only trust the defense line he built himself.

"Bell is fast! He's over him!"

"Roma's players are like newborn babies in front of the Great Sage!"

"The Great Sage is charging towards the baseline! Is he going to cross the ball?"

"An inverted triangle!"

"Bale makes a cutback pass! The receiver is..."

The camera pans to Benzema's feet.

Although Benzema protected the ball, he was firmly locked down by Roma's two tall center-backs.

"Benzema protected the ball under pressure from two defenders! But that was too dangerous! He should have passed the ball!"

After sensing the danger, Cristiano Ronaldo began making off-the-ball runs, trying to find a suitable position to receive the pass.

[Benzema is in such danger! If he doesn't pass the ball soon, this golden opportunity will slip away!]

[Sigh! Bale should have used that skill to cut inside and shoot himself! Passing to this Frenchman only resulted in conceding the ball!]

[Don't panic! Look, Ronaldo has started running! Something seems to be changing!]

It all depends on my brother Luo!

The audience is eagerly anticipating Ronaldo's divine intervention to save the day.

Just then.

"Karim! Pass the ball!"

Jiang Yan suddenly appeared at the edge of the restricted area.

Benzema's eyes lit up, and he almost instantly made a pass, while also putting on a grateful expression.

"It's Jiang Yan! Jiang Yan has actually appeared at the edge of the restricted area!"

"Benzema passes the ball! Is Jiang Yan going to take a long-range shot!?"

"This position is right within his firing range!"

Upon receiving the incoming ball, the "God's Perspective" was immediately activated.

After observing the defender closing in, Jiang Yan chose to unleash a powerful shot without stopping the ball!

boom!

The ball flew towards the goal!

Snapped!

The ball hit the post and bounced back onto the field!

"Damn it! So this 'heavy artillery blast' is just a powerful kick with no accuracy!"

Jiang Yan cursed inwardly, his body already prepared to defend.

But just then...

"Cristiano Ronaldo jumped up! What's he going to do?"

Cristiano Ronaldo leaps high, his body stretching perfectly in the air.

"A bicycle kick! Ronaldo is going to attempt a bicycle kick!"

boom!

Cristiano Ronaldo attempted a bicycle kick, and everyone thought the ball would obediently fly towards the goal.

Unexpectedly, goalkeeper Szczesny practically gave his whole body away and actually managed to catch the ball!

Cristiano Ronaldo landed heavily in the penalty area, his eyes filled with regret.

"Damn it! They miskicked such a crucial shot!"

……

At this moment, the previously excited audience in the live stream room suddenly fell silent.

In slow motion, Ronaldo's bicycle kick, though extremely graceful, lacked proper contact between his foot and the ball; in short, he miskicked it.

That's when Szczesny figured it out and caught the ball.

[What a pity, Ronaldo! That ball didn't go in! If it had gone in, it would definitely be the best goal of the Champions League!]

Who would have thought that Jiang Yan's shot would go wide and Ronaldo's shot would miss? The odds are probably lower than winning the lottery!

Forget all that, all I know is that if Real Madrid doesn't score soon, I'm going to go in.

Look at you, acting impulsively again.

……

Jiang Yan and Benzema immediately stepped forward to help Ronaldo up.

"Hey, Luo, that was a pity, it was just a little short."

Benzema patted Ronaldo's chest.

"That's good, Luo Ge, that was still a cool shot!"

Benitez, sitting on the coach's bench, clutched his head in disbelief.

Neither Jiang Yan nor Cristiano Ronaldo managed to score!

The probability is extremely low!

Did Rome secretly reduce the size of the door frame?

Spalletti, on the other hand, quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

We narrowly escaped this counterattack.

If they concede a goal at this point, the players' confidence will likely collapse completely.

In short, Szczesny's brilliant save stabilized the morale of the Roman army.

The competition has just begun, the outcome is still uncertain, anything is possible...
