Football: Starting with the Crescent Moon Slash

"Looks like Benzema's feet are freezing today!"

Snapped!

"Another pass!"

Jiang Yan's long pass found Benzema in the attacking third again, and Benzema began to cut inside with the ball.

boom!

Benzema's shot went wide once again.

Seeing Benzema squander his chances time and time again, He Wei finally couldn't sit still any longer.

"What on earth is Benzema doing?"

"If your footwork is bad, just pass it to Luo Ge! What a waste of Jiang Yan's brilliant pass!"

"Wait! It's happening again!"

"Modric delivered a mesmerizing outside-of-the-foot pass!"

"Benzema! Benzema!"

"It flew away again!?"

"Are you kidding me?! The goal was practically touching, and you still managed to miss?"

Is Benzema acting strangely?

[What Benzema? This is clearly Benzema the cat! My legs are shaking!]

[Jiang Yan, why even pass to Benzema! If you'd passed to Ronaldo, we would have been ahead much earlier!]

Jiang Yan is stubborn! He's not up to any real responsibility!

In the first half alone, Benzema had already wasted no fewer than five chances.

Beep—beep beep!

With the referee's whistle, the dreadful first half finally came to an end.

The Real Madrid fans in the stadium were clearly dissatisfied with their team's performance in the first half, repeatedly chanting "Goal! Goal! Victory!"

……

Inside the changing room.

"Karim? What are you doing today? Your shooting touch is so bad, just pass the ball more!"

"Jiang! And you..." The words of reproach were on the tip of her tongue when she remembered that shot at the start of the game. "Are you... still in good shape? Will you be able to play in the second half?"

Seeing Jiang Yan nod, Benitez turned around and continued to attack.

"Kovacic! You've been playing midfield for so many years, and your running in the first half was absolutely rubbish!"

"And Varane..."

Benitez was also very frustrated to see the blockage in the attack from the coaching bench.

Clearly, he was not satisfied with the team's performance in the first half.

The next match is the Champions League knockout stage. For the sake of the Champions League, we must win this match decisively!

"Ugh!"

Hearing the sigh beside him, Jiang Yan turned to look at the dejected Kovacic next to him.

"I wish I could become a midfield maestro."

Kovacic looked up at Jiang Yan.

"Master, teach me how to play midfield!"

master?

Jiang Yan subconsciously moved back two steps.

"Don't call me that, Kovacic..."

In the first half, none of Real Madrid's players were at their best, and Kovacic simply couldn't find a solution.

For professional athletes, winning is the best way to maintain their competitive edge.

To showcase their best form in the Champions League knockout stages, they absolutely must win this match!

After thinking for a long time, Jiang Yan finally blurted out, "We will win. Watch my performance in the second half."

After hearing this, Kovacic felt that Jiang Yan's figure had suddenly become great.

Jiang Shen might really be able to lead us to victory.

……

The second half begins.

Neither side made any personnel changes.

"Hiss... Why is Benzema still on the field?"

[Has Benitez gone mad? Does he still trust Benzema? Anyone with eyes can see Benzema's feet are ice cold today!]

No, no, no, Benitez trusts Jiang Yan's feeding skills.

I'd like to see how many chances Benzema can pull off today!

By coincidence,

Jiang Yan thought so too.

"Karim, Karim, let's see how many cakes you can spit out!"

The match is in its 48rd minute.

Real Madrid's midfielder finally won back possession, and the ball fell to Kovacic on the wing.

After receiving the ball, Kovacic instinctively looked at Jiang Yan.

Seeing Jiang Yan start making off-the-ball runs, Kovacic immediately increased his speed and executed a beautiful one-two pass with Jiang Yan.

They easily bypassed the Athletic Bilbao players who came up to press them.

"Jiang Shen truly lives up to his name! He knew what I was going to do with just a glance!"

Just as Kovacic was thinking this...

"Give me the ball! Stick it in yourself!"

Upon hearing Jiang Yan's voice, Kovacic immediately passed the ball to Jiang Yan and quickly moved into the penalty area.

"What is Jiang Shen doing?"

Kovacic was filled with questions; shooting was not his forte.

He could only trust Jiang Shen's instructions!

Kovacic's forward run was very clever, successfully drawing away two defenders.

"Well done, Kovacic!"

Jiang Yan tensed his calves and kicked the ball hard towards the center!

boom!

The ball came straight to Benzema's feet, and at that moment Benzema was only surrounded by one defender.

"Damn it, get in here!"

boom!

A powerful shot found the back of the net.

goal! ! ! ! Gooooal! ! !

"Holy crap! Benzema finally scored!"

"A powerful shot found the back of the net! It showcased his solid shooting skills!"

"Jiang Yan provides the assist, and Benzema finally scores! Real Madrid take a 2-1 lead!"

The Real Madrid players on the field quickly ran towards Benzema.

After all, Real Madrid's players knew how hard-won this goal was after wasting so many chances in the first half.

Of course, we should celebrate properly.

Benzema also bowed to Jiang Yan, who had always believed in him, to express his gratitude.

Benitez on the sidelines waved his arms excitedly; Benzema's goal had saved the team.

Jiang Yan and Kovacic's collaboration saved the team!

Benzema can actually score! Benitez is phenomenal!

[Jiang Yan is amazing! He wasted so many chances in the first half, yet he still dared to pass the ball to Benzema!]

[Ronaldo hasn't broken his deadlock yet! If we don't pass the ball to him soon, he'll start to get a little upset!]

Hahahaha!

In the 63rd minute, Jiang Yan delivered a long pass, assisting Ronaldo to head the ball into the goal.

In the 65th minute, Casemiro replaced Jiang Yan.

"Beep—beep beep!"

With the referee blowing the whistle three times, the game finally came to an end.

Jiang Yan scored one goal and provided two assists, while Ronaldo completed a hat-trick.

Although Athletic Bilbao managed to win one game, it was too late to turn the tide.

Ultimately, Real Madrid defeated Athletic Bilbao 4-2 at home.

"Jiang Yan scored one goal and provided two assists, showcasing his masterful style! He led his team to a comfortable victory over Athletic Bilbao!"

[Thanks, Jiang Shen, for helping me win money!!]

[Thank you, Jiang Shen! I can sponsor troubled girls again!]

[Stop talking, the technician is already on her way!]

A gambling father and a sick mother, a young brother and a broken woman...

After the match, back in the locker room, the players gathered around Ronaldo and Jiang Yan to celebrate.

"Hey! Jiang! How many more tricks are you hiding? That super long-range shot!" Modric said with a smile.

"Hey! Stop teasing me, Luca! I'm still just a greenhorn in front of you."

Kovacic was massaging Jiang Yan's thighs.

"Master, you have to teach me this move!"

"When did I become your master?"

"Just now!"

"..."

As everyone was celebrating, Benitez walked in.

"Cough cough..."

The crowd quieted down a bit after Benitez walked into the locker room.

"Jiang, you did well today. The Champions League in a week will be your stage to prove yourself."
