Football: Starting with the Crescent Moon Slash

Sidelines.

Benitez clapped enthusiastically.

"From the interception to the goal, he completed the entire attacking sequence all by himself!"

The assistant coach on the sidelines was praising Jiang Yan enthusiastically.

"The game continues, and we can't let our guard down even after a goal." Benitez maintained a serious expression, but inwardly he was overjoyed. The more active Jiang Yan was, the more he was demonstrating to the outside world that he, Benitez, was a great and capable coach!

He never imagined that one day he would become Coach of the Month thanks to a player.

On the other side, the Las Palmas coach appeared very anxious, putting his arm around a player near the sidelines and explaining tactics.

"You all better play properly!"

……

After a brief celebration, Jiang Yan returned to the venue surrounded by the crowd.

"As expected of Ninth Master's 'goal-scoring instinct,' just three goals more to go, let's finish them off in one go!"

With the World Asian Qualifiers approaching, acquiring new skills as soon as possible will provide more reliance in the future.

Although the upcoming opponents may not be as strong as these La Liga teams, it's always good to be prepared.

……

The game restarted after the lap time.

The away fans' cheers grew louder and louder. They were not discouraged by their team's deficit, but instead erupted in the loudest cheers to support their team.

Although Las Palmas is a small team, the loyalty of its fans is undeniable.

This is what makes European football so fascinating: no matter how small the team, they all have their own die-hard fans.

Even when they were trailing and parking the bus, even when Real Madrid were dominating the game, the fans did not lose faith in the match.

The ball is round, anything is possible.

"Las Palmas' players have relentlessly parked the bus in defense; compared to the first 20 minutes, their defensive line is now further back and much more solid!"

"Although Real Madrid's passing is very smooth, when faced with a defensive wall like this, all they can do is try a long-range shot."

"And don't forget, Las Palmas also has a goalkeeper who's almost 'superhuman,' Barras!"

……

Time flies.

Real Madrid's numerous attacks were unsuccessful.

Wasting opportunities will always be punished.

In the 38th minute, Las Palmas had their second counter-attack opportunity of the match.

After intercepting the ball, Mesa delivered a swift long pass to Real Madrid's backfield.

After receiving the ball, José began to shake his head to observe.

Before the match began,

The Las Palmas locker room.

"Brothers, listen to me... Although I once stayed in Castile, I was ultimately eliminated for some reason."

"Castilla is strong, Real Madrid is strong, we've known that for a long time, haven't we? Even so, so what! I'm a striker, pass me the ball, let me score!"

"Let's work together and score goals to give Real Madrid a good slap in the face!"

……

Back to the game.

José executed a classic stepover, shaking off Casemiro who was making his comeback.

By this time, his teammates had also arrived.

"Jose is dribbling past his former team! Is he getting excited because his opponent is his old team?"

"Las Palmas pressed forward aggressively, and Real Madrid were caught on the counter-attack!"

"José passed the ball to Vieira next to him!"

"Vieira's long pass!"

"They tore apart Real Madrid's defense!"

"Jose has a one-on-one opportunity!"

"His obsession with Real Madrid earned him this one-on-one opportunity!"

"Ramos is making a strong comeback!"

"Snapped!"

"What?! Ramos tackled José from behind, bringing him and the ball down!"

"This happened on the edge of the penalty area! What will the referee's decision be? Will it be a penalty kick?!"

José was seen lying in the penalty area, clutching his ankle in pain.

Ramos was gesturing to the rushing referee, indicating that it was not a penalty.

However, the referee's finger remained firmly pointed to the penalty spot.

"Penalty! Las Palmas has been awarded a penalty!"

"Wait, the referee is still making a move!"

Listening to the endless arguments between the two teams, the referee resolutely pulled a red card from his pocket.

He pointed at Ramos with his left hand and held up the red card with his right.

"Red card! The referee has handed Las Palmas a standard red card and penalty!"

[Wait, they gave him a straight red card? Did Las Palmas buy him?]

[This ball was clearly aimed at injuring someone! The referee's red card was too lenient!]

This is bad! 11 against 10! Las Palmas is about to rise up!

[What's there to be afraid of? We still have Jiang Yan and Cristiano Ronaldo, right? I've already said, with Jiang and Ronaldo, the game is over!]

Losing a defender will have a significant impact on the lineup; it remains to be seen how Benitez will adjust the formation.

……

The penalty was awarded to José, who had won it.

Although he wasn't the team's primary penalty taker, everyone voluntarily gave up the penalty kick because of what he said before the match.

"Hey kid, listen up."

"Although you haven't been in Las Palmas for very long, you should remember this: in this team, there isn't a single guy who doesn't want to win."

"Go ahead and do it."

José took the ball and stood at the penalty spot.

Take a deep breath.

approach,

Break down the door!

Navas lunged towards the left side of the goal, while José shot the ball straight towards the center.

1: 1!

Las Palmas equalized in the 40th minute of the first half.

The Las Palmas fans went wild.

Although it was just a penalty kick.

But to be able to draw with Real Madrid at home was something I wouldn't have dared to dream of before!

But now, the players of Las Palmas have done it!

"Ruo-ze! Ruo-ze!"

"You are our king of football—!"

Las Palmas fans chanted José's name; at that moment, he was the city's hero!

……

On the sidelines, Benitez was frantically discussing tactics with his assistant coach.

Meanwhile, the Las Palmas coach on the other side raised his arms excitedly in celebration.

They not only equalized the score in the first half.

Ramos was also sent off!

11 against 10!

The advantage lies with me!

Just then.

Las Palmas' coach was still basking in the joy of scoring a goal.

"They're here!"

"Jiang Yan starts dribbling forward!"

"He didn't rush to break through, but instead passed the ball to Modric who was following up!"

Modric's vision and technique are also masterful; with just a glance, he can pinpoint the best passing route.

He immediately unleashed a curved shot with the outside of his foot.

"Bale catches the ball!"

"Start sprinting down the flanks!!"

Jiang Yan and Modric worked together seamlessly, both choosing the optimal route.

Bale didn't rush to cut inside after receiving the ball, but instead shook his head to observe, and found that Vazquez had already run to a position where he could directly threaten the goal.

Snapped!

Bale delivered a cross, finding Vazquez in position.

……

Benitez, sitting on the coaching bench, wore a smug smile.

The moment Jiang Yan dribbled the ball, Benitez already knew the outcome of the attack.

Meanwhile, the Las Palmas coach couldn't help but stand on the sidelines, carefully analyzing everything that had just happened.

The goal just now caused the Las Palmas players to lose focus and completely lose the concentration they had 40 minutes ago.

This is also why the bus was breached.

"That Chinese kid with number 18 passed the ball to Modric."

"Is it for a breakthrough down the flanks?"

"No! It's that young academy player in the middle!"

"No! That's not right! It was him!"

"How did he get to that spot!?"

……

Bale and Ronaldo's runs attracted the attention of many defenders.

This created an opportunity for Vázquez to receive the ball.

Even so, Vázquez was still closely marked by two defenders.

"What should we do?"

"Should we just turn around and shoot at the door?"

"That's a bit of a stretch..."

Just then, a familiar voice came from his side and behind him.

"Lucas! Pass the ball!"

Knowing he couldn't turn around, Vázquez lightly tapped his heel.

The ball passed between his legs, through two defenders.

Even goalkeeper Barras didn't notice the exquisite backheel pass.

The moment the pass was made, Jiang Yan keenly seized the scoring opportunity and burst out from behind the defender!

The speed and power of this pass were just right.

Jiang Yan received the ball after running only a couple of steps.

Facing Baras's attempt to launch an attack.

Even the goalkeeper who performed exceptionally well in this match.

At this moment, they were no match for Jiang Yan.

He leaned forward slightly.

Sway your calves gently.

It doesn't require much effort at all.

A gentle poke with the toe.

Barras quickly got to the ground to try and block the shot.

But the ball slipped through the gap between his legs and into the net.

2: 1!

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

How did he get to that spot?

……

"pretty!"

"Goal again!"

"Jiang Yan once again appeared in the penalty area like a ghost, and with a single shot, the ball slipped between Barras's legs and into the net!"

"Barras must be regretting spreading his legs just now!"

"Less than ten minutes into the second half, Jiang Yan completed his brace for the match!"

"Their positioning and shooting timing were absolutely perfect!"

The commentators in the live broadcast room were full of praise for his performance in this match.

[Jiang Shen is amazing!]

Just one goal away, just one goal away! Three consecutive draws and the winnings are almost here!

[Damn! Can Real Madrid cover the spread? Can they rain down three points?]

Two bird calls are needed! Brothers, hurry up and dunk the ball! Let's all dunk it together!

【666666...】

……

Inside the VIP box.

Anri Stadler, the division manager of Dior Group's Spanish branch, nodded in satisfaction after seeing Jiang Yan's outstanding performance.

The charity gala two days ago, in which Jiang Yan and Lucas faced off, has been the talk of the town throughout Spain.

What happened was even related to his daughter, Lina Steider.

As a father, he naturally wanted to personally observe what this young man, dubbed the "new Beckham" by the media, was capable of.

"This kid is indeed quite good, and his commercial value is also very high. If he's willing to marry into our family... it's not something we can't consider."
