Football: Starting with the Crescent Moon Slash

Jiang Yan completed a beautiful one-on-one defensive play.

The expressions on the fans' faces gradually changed from horror to disbelief.

The entire Bernabéu was unusually quiet for a few seconds.

After the silence came a deafening roar of cheers.

A single successful defensive play is not enough to make the Bernabéu fans so excited.

But Jiang Yan, the one who created this successful one-on-one defense, was a defensive liability just a few days ago, and he was an 18-year-old who had only played two games as a defensive midfielder!

These characteristics combined are enough to get fans excited.

This can only be described as genius!

Rayo Vallecano throws the ball out of bounds.

From the stands at the Bernabéu, people were chanting Jiang Yan's name.

Inside the live stream room at this moment.

"Coach He, am I seeing things? I think I just saw Nesta's shadow."

"That's insane, absolutely insane! Jiang Yan's one-on-one defense just now was impeccable."

"Despite not having a physical advantage, he used his arm to block the attacking player's position and cleanly cleared the ball out of bounds while the opponent was off balance!"

"Whether it's the timing of the chase, the use of the arms, or the defensive positioning, it's all masterful!"

"Coach He, isn't your praise a bit excessive? This was just a one-on-one defense; it can't be as outrageous as you're making it out to be."

"Hehe, you need to learn to see through appearances to the essence..."

On the coach's bench.

Benitez also looked at Jiang Yan, who was shining brightly on the field, with a serious expression.

Clearly, he hadn't expected Jiang Yan to execute such a beautiful one-on-one defense.

This is only his second time playing as a defensive midfielder, and he was previously a defensive liability.

How come you suddenly had a breakthrough?

At that moment, images of Jiang Yan practicing day and night flashed through Benitez's mind, and he was filled with mixed emotions.

"He must have worked tirelessly day and night to achieve what he has today. I wanted to give him a tough challenge, but he solved it so easily."

Thinking of this, Benitez looked at James Rodriguez on the bench.

Although Jiang Yan completed a perfect defensive play, it was not enough for him to admit defeat.

It's worth noting that classic attacking midfielders like James Rodriguez contribute almost nothing defensively on the field, while Jiang Yan is now a truly all-around midfielder who integrates both attack and defense!

The match is still ongoing.

Seeing Jiang Yan successfully complete his first one-on-one defense in his career, the fighting spirit of Real Madrid players was also ignited.

They also became more active in running.

Jiang Yan dribbles the ball.

Facing pressure from the defenders, he passed the ball to Modric, who had dropped back, and then immediately moved forward himself.

Modric passed the ball to Jiang Yan without stopping it.

At this moment, he had returned to his most familiar position—attacking midfielder.

Jiang Yan, positioned in the attacking midfield position, immediately launched his attack from a "God's-eye view" perspective, finally finding an opportunity despite Rayo Vallecano's tight defense.

He immediately unleashed a curling shot, precisely finding Ronaldo inside the penalty area.

Cristiano Ronaldo leaps high and heads the ball into the net.

Real Madrid 5-2 Rayo Vallecano.

Faced with Jiang Yan's growth, Rayo Vallecano's players only felt it was a coincidence.

They continued to follow the coach's plan, attacking the left midfield guarded by Jiang Yan.

However, Jiang Yan remained silent, only using his superb one-on-one defensive skills time and time again to silence Rayo Vallecano's attack.

Until Rayo Vallecano's players realized that neither speed nor fancy individual skills could break through this Chinese player one-on-one.

This man is like an insurmountable barrier, impossible to cross.

To break through his defenses, the two of you must work together.

But Rayo Vallecano was already down a man, so how could they have extra troops to commit to the attack?

Gradually, Real Madrid began to take control of the game.

In the 53rd minute, Cristiano Ronaldo received a brilliant pass from Jiang Yan and headed the ball into the net, completing his hat-trick.

In the 61st minute, Jiang Yan unleashed a powerful shot from outside the penalty area, which struck the crossbar, and Bale headed the ball into the net.

In the 70th minute, Bale received an assist from Jiang Yan, made a solo run down the wing, and single-handedly took on Rayo Vallecano's entire defense to score.

In the 79th minute, Rayo Vallecano committed a foul at the edge of the penalty area, and Jiang Yan's free kick went directly into the net.

In the 90th minute, Benzema received a pass from Jiang Yan and scored with a low shot.

The final score was 10:2.

In the second half, Jiang Yan completely took over the game, positioning himself as a defensive midfielder when defending and moving forward to the attacking midfield position when attacking. He managed to control both the offensive and defensive ends, completely shattering Rayo Vallecano's last bit of spirit.

competition is over.

The two head coaches shook hands.

"As expected of Real Madrid's head coach, that kid was trained by you, wasn't he? Today, we completely lost to him."

"You also have a group of good players who are willing to give their lives for Rayo Vallecano. If it weren't for that red card, today might have been even more exciting."

"Let's fight again next time."

"Let's fight again next time."

After the game.

An article titled:

The report, "James Rodriguez suffers a complete defeat? The magician from the East undergoes a magnificent transformation," spread throughout the streets and alleys of Spain.

James Rodriguez's situation plummeted, while Jiang Yan became a hot commodity in the eyes of the media, with interview requests pouring in.

At Jiang Yan's home.

"I'm telling you, it's about time you found a decent agent."

After the match against Rayo Vallecano, Qin Wanyu naturally moved into Jiang Yan's home.

"We can't leave everything to the Real Madrid team."

Jiang Yan put down his bowl and chopsticks.

"What you said makes sense, but finding an agent, their salary and profit sharing are also problems."

"Didn't you just receive a signing bonus? Domestic software companies also offer substantial revenue sharing for videos; hiring a small talent agency shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Jiang Yan thought about it for a moment, and Qin Wanyu's words made some sense, after all, he had too much idle money on hand.

Real Madrid covers all their food, lodging, and transportation expenses, and they have no interest in spending money.

It's time to expand my business empire.

"However, these professional matters should ultimately be left to professionals."

"That's natural."

"However, it will probably take some time to find someone with expertise in economics and finance."

Qin Wanyu took out her phone, placed it in front of Jiang Yan, and smiled.

"Isn't there a ready-made one?"

Jiang Yan's eyes lit up when he saw the name on his phone.

Yup!

How could he not have thought of that?

I still have this connection in Spain!

It was Arthur, the British exchange student I met while watching Eibar's match!

He was studying finance.

Although it's young, it's cheap!

Even if it doesn't work out, we won't lose much money, but if it does, we'll save a lot of expenses!

"Then it's settled. Let's give Arthur a chance to try. I'll take care of contacting Arthur," Qin Wanyu volunteered.

"You're a pretty nice person." Jiang Yan smiled.

"I've known that you're the type of person who can only focus on one thing at a time. But... once you've made some money, what's the thing you want to do most?"

Jiang Yan was stunned when he heard Qin Wanyu ask this question.

What's the first thing you want to do after making money?

He had never thought of that before.

After a moment of contemplation,

"Probably... to make money and go to Sanya!"
