Football: Starting with the Crescent Moon Slash

According to Jiang Yan's plan, as long as he defeats Real Betis, he can complete the three-game winning streak and obtain the corresponding skill pack.

The warm-up session before the match.

Jiang Yan raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, then flung it away.

His daily diet and high-intensity training also allowed him to accumulate some free attribute points.

System Log:

A balanced diet and high-intensity training have improved your physical fitness, granting you +0.1 free attribute points.

Rest is an essential part of every day, clearing away fatigue and soreness, and granting +0.1 free attribute points.

Watching match replays can deepen your understanding of the game and the players. Thinking about problems from a different perspective can bring clarity and grant you +0.1 free attribute points.

……

After a period of accumulation, Jiang Yan has accumulated 5 free attribute points.

As for the allocation of points, Jiang Yan had already thought it through...

"In order to reach the goal of 10 goals as soon as possible, we must improve our shooting ability."

Shooting accuracy: 62→65

Speed: 63 → 65

These two stats are still quite necessary if you want to score more goals from open play.

"River!"

"Hmm? What's wrong, Department 14?"

Upon seeing Isco approach, Jiang Yan quickly closed the system interface and turned around.

"You have good news and bad news, which do you want to hear first?"

"Of course I want to hear the good news first!"

"The good news is, we can fight side by side again!"

Isco slapped Jiang Yan on the shoulder.

"hiss……"

Jiang Yan rubbed his hand, wincing slightly in pain.

"And the bad news?"

Isco stroked his long beard, his expression immediately turning serious.

"Gareth... injured his soleus muscle during training just now, and he'll probably have to rest for a while."

Injuries!

It's a topic that athletes dread the most. From a minor cold to a major cruciate ligament rupture, anything can cast a shadow over your career.

Almost every Real Madrid player has experienced some form of calf muscle injury, and it seems to have become a standard ailment for Real Madrid players.

However, Jiang Yan is still young and has not experienced any major injuries, nor has he shown any signs of illness.

Perhaps due to systemic reasons, he felt that he was playing football very smoothly.

"Every player has to go through this, but Jiang, you'll be back in your favorite position in this game."

With Bale unavailable, Benitez was forced to field a classic 4-4-2 formation, with Jiang Yan playing as a winger.

This not only allows him to unleash his offensive talent to the fullest extent, but also frees him from taking on too many defensive responsibilities, making it a win-win situation.

"That's right, since Bale isn't here, I'm going to score a goal in this match!"

"After all, the bonus for scoring a goal isn't a small amount, right?"

"That's for sure~"

As soon as Jiang Yan finished speaking, the originally tense atmosphere immediately became relaxed, and the laughter of the two of them also helped to ease the tense atmosphere of the competition.

"But since there's a bonus for scoring, I won't let you off easy!"

Real Betis will host Real Madrid.

Real Betis was founded in Seville on September 12, 1907. In 1914, it was granted a royal title by the King of Spain and was nicknamed the Green and White Army.

曾在1934-35赛季获得西甲冠军，1976-77、2004-05赛季获得国王杯。

The home stands are very close to the pitch, so the visiting team has to deal with both noise and the cheers of the home fans.

Among mid-to-lower-tier teams, this is considered a rather formidable home ground.

[This is awesome! We can watch La Liga again!]

Bale is injured. It's unclear who will replace him. James Rodriguez?

[Who did Coach He buy? I'll see if I can follow suit.]

[Jiang Shen's leadership makes all the difference; they've achieved a winning streak with ease!]

[Real Madrid and Barcelona are neck and neck, and Betis is a tough opponent among mid-table teams. To be honest, I'm really looking forward to Jiang Yan's performance.]

Have you heard? Alan, the head coach of the Chinese national football team, has been dismissed. I wonder who will take over the team.

[Whoever takes over the national football team will definitely recruit Jiang Shen!]

If Alan had recruited Jiang Yan earlier, wouldn't the World Cup qualifiers have been a breeze? They wouldn't be stuck with only 11 points now, 3 points behind Hong Kong!

[It doesn't matter anymore! The game is about to kick off, let's watch the match!]

Beep—!!

With the referee's whistle, the match officially began.

"Hello everyone, I'm He Wei, your commentator for tonight. I'm sure you've all seen the news about Alain Perrin's dismissal recently."

"Although it's still unknown who will take over as the national team coach, given Jiang Yan's dominant performance in La Liga, it's only a matter of time before he's included in the national team!"

"Putting all that aside, let's briefly analyze the lineup for this match."

"Due to Bale's unexpected injury, Real Madrid switched to a 4-4-2 formation, with Benzema and Ronaldo partnering as the two strikers, while Jiang Yan was on standby at left-back."

"In defense, the academic star Varane will replace Ramos."

The match had just begun, and Real Madrid had possession of the ball.

Toni Kroos delivered a long pass to Cristiano Ronaldo in the penalty area, whose header hit the post and was collected by the goalkeeper.

Right from the start, Real Madrid displayed the formidable individual skills of their star players, completing a high-quality header with just two passes.

"Oh dear! Looks like Ronaldo's luck isn't so good today!"

"Betis' goalkeeper, Adán, passes the ball to Fabian Ruiz in the center!"

"The same high ball, lobbed into the penalty area!"

"Casteau!"

"A header!"

"Oh dear, what a pity! It seems both teams' forwards are a bit out of form today!"

The ball grazed the crossbar and flew out of play, giving Navas a fright.

Betis's counter-attacking strategy is incredibly efficient!

Navas takes the goal kick.

A big foot!

Isco and Modric were at the landing point.

Modric jumped, attempting to contest the second ball.

At that moment, Betis winger Kadir suddenly burst out and, taking advantage of his height, won the ball in mid-air!

"Oh no! Modric has actually lost out on true height!"

"...No! It's that man!"

Apply the "God's-eye view" to defense!

After Navas kicked off, [God's View] was activated instantly, and Jiang Yan saw the ball's landing point before anyone else!

Just as Kadir was feeling smug after winning the ball, a language he couldn't understand came to his ears.

"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!"

Jiang Yan didn't linger and snatched the ball from Kadir's feet!

!!!

"Holy crap! Jiang Yan, a left winger, actually ran to the right to receive the ball!"

After Kadir noticed the ball had been stolen, he reached out to pull Jiang Yan back, but the coach's words kept echoing in his ears.

"Don't break the rules unnecessarily!"

Seeing that Kadir made no move, Jiang Yan took the opportunity to deliver a long diagonal pass at a 45-degree angle.

Cristiano Ronaldo was accurately located at the near post.

His sharpshooter's keen sense of smell led him to spot this golden opportunity.

In just two steps, he created a one-on-one opportunity.

Facing the goalkeeper, he took a shot!

"Goal!"
