The perfect midfield: It starts with never passing the ball to Ronaldo.

Lu Xiaopang, who has a penchant for mature women, is a typical example of someone whose debut was his peak.

With a perfect record of four goals in four games at the European Championship, Wayne Rooney transferred from Everton to Manchester United.

His Champions League debut for Manchester United was a historic and perfect performance.

Time: Round 2 of Group D in the 2004-05 UEFA Champions League group stage.

Location: Old Trafford Stadium.

Manchester United will face Turkish giants Fenerbahce.

In the 17th minute, Van Nistelrooy set up Rooney, who received the ball just outside the penalty area and immediately shot to score.

In the 28th minute, Rooney received a pass from Giggs on the edge of the penalty area, dribbled past the opposing defender, and then unleashed a powerful right-footed shot that found the far corner of the goal.

In the 54th minute, Manchester United won a free kick about 20 yards from the penalty area. Rooney took the free kick and the ball curled into the net, completing his hat-trick.

In the 81st minute, Rooney headed the ball across the goal, assisting teammate David Bellion to score, bringing his tally to an impressive three goals and one assist.

At the age of 18 years and 335 days, he became the youngest player in Champions League history to score a hat-trick.

Although both of them are eighteen years old, Mario is still self-aware.

Such exaggerated performances require consideration not only of individual ability but also of the individual's condition on that day.

In response to netizens' enthusiastic expectations that he could surpass Cristiano Ronaldo and Steve Zissou, he simply replied with the word "try his best".

-----------------

Early in the morning, Mario, who had just moved into his new luxury apartment in downtown Porto with the help of his real estate agent, was awakened by the electronic doorbell.

Upon opening the visual system, the first thing you see is the sweet and lovely Margarita.

"Uncle, open the door! I'm your little helper, here to make you a nutritious breakfast!"

"Who told you to call him uncle?!" Ines said with a slightly coquettish tone as she walked to the gate with her lunchbox.

"This is too much trouble, thank you both, ladies~" Mario quickly changed into his training clothes after clicking to unlock the unit door.

After they naturally became boyfriend and girlfriend, Ines became even more proactive.

After her management team arranged for a nutritionist to create a customized menu, she volunteered to take on the task of preparing the nutritious meals.

"Want to come stay during the off-season?" Mario asked as he entered the kitchen and put his arm around the beautiful young cook.

"Your trainer can ensure you get plenty of rest."

Ines was very skilled at playing hard to get; she said she refused, but deliberately moved closer to Mario.

"Then I'll arrange extra training!"

"No, I have to give you extra food~"

"Hurry up and eat, good luck in tonight's game!"

The curvaceous cook gave a wicked smile, determined to feed both the older and younger brothers to their hearts' content.

Although the eighteen-year-old was very hot-tempered, he decided to follow Pintus's advice and manage his personal life during this crucial period of intensive training.

This is not due to the Chinese obsession with early childhood training, but rather an example of Enzo, the future midfielder for Chelsea.

In late October 2024, British media reported that Enzo had decided to separate and divorce his partner Valentina.

In the eight games following the news of their separation, Enzo contributed 3 goals and 7 assists.

In the two and a half months prior, across 16 matches, he had only managed one assist.

Although he eventually reconciled with his wife, seemingly because she was about to be cheated on, this period of experience seems to demonstrate the impact of sex life on high-intensity competitive sports.

Mario, eager to secure a starting position in the first team as soon as possible, chose to err on the side of caution.

For female fans who send inappropriate private messages to social media accounts, a swift and decisive strike is launched, using a smooth combination of blocking and shutting down.

Although there are no more racy photos, Mario's social media account remains very popular.

As the list continues to circulate, the online uproar intensifies.

Supporters flooded social media with highlights of Mario's debut, chanting "The Golden Boy has arrived!" and "A new dragon core has been born!"

Opponents, however, focused on nepotism and defensive statistics, with their mockery growing louder and louder.

The atmosphere within the team was also subtly affected by the Champions League squad list, with some midfielders who didn't get a chance to play looking at Mario with a more scrutinizing gaze.

Why should a young player who just had a great game make the Champions League squad? Why is he getting so much attention?

Is having a coach uncle really that great?

Don't let Paris beat you so badly you have to go home and find your dad!

The forwards and key players who had communicated in the last game have become much more harmonious.

After all, they had witnessed Mario's abilities firsthand, and there was no conflict of interest between them. On the contrary, they were interdependent, sharing both prosperity and adversity.

Team wins, receives rewards, gains more attention, and promotions and raises are timeless truths.

Therefore, unless there is a conflict of interest, everyone hopes that their teammates are stronger.

Elton's goal was repeatedly breached during the warm-up match.

Despite his repeated failed saves, he didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he enthusiastically scratched Mario's head in front of the head coach.

"Kid, your shooting touch is pretty good today!"

Mario responded with a smile and said that the atmosphere within the Porto team was very good during this period, and there was no bad habit of workplace bullying that would later develop.

The 18-year-old who scored the brilliant goal doesn't need to worry about the "joking" flying kick~

Soon, the starting lineup was announced, and Mario was still placed on the bench.

As the moon and stars shone brightly, the entire Estádio do Dragão became a roaring, surging sea of ​​flags, with the powerful melody of the Champions League theme song resonating in every inch of space. The air seemed to solidify, carrying the smell of gunpowder and metal.

In the away stands, a few banners mocking the team's key players and Mario were visible, but they seemed so small and glaring amidst the cheers of tens of thousands of enthusiastic Porto fans.

The family who came from Lisbon, along with Ines, also took on the role, donning Mario's jersey and transforming into fierce warriors from the Korean Peninsula War, unleashing a barrage of fire at the French!

"The long-awaited Champions League is back in action. Welcome to the second round of Group A matches in the Champions League, brought to you by Sky Sports."

- [Where are the people with connections? Why aren't they starting?]

[Hey guys, I'm a newbie to football and want to bet on this. PSG should be a sure win, right?]

- [How can a team that hasn't won the league title in nineteen years be considered a sure thing? Take my advice, bet on Porto to win!]

- [Stay calm, stay calm. Paris Saint-Germain has invested over 2.5 million euros in the last two seasons combined. I feel Porto is in trouble!]

[Any Mario fans here who want to see Mario get thrashed by Thiago? Give this a like!!]

- [Just waiting to be thrashed. All he did was play a good game in the Portuguese league, and this guy dared to accuse the Ballon d'Or winner! Unforgivable!!!]
