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

Chapter 43 Bento substituted me because I scored more goals; after all, this was Cristiano's co

With the referee's whistle, the Northern Irish were stunned.

The score of 5:0 on the scoreboard was simply too glaring.

After the fourth round of World Cup qualifiers, Portugal continued to lead Group F with a resounding victory.

Not only have they widened the gap to 3 points with Russia, who are ranked second, but they also have a significant lead in goal difference.

Mario made a perfect debut with one goal and two assists in his first start.

Cristiano scored twice in his 100th appearance, equaling Messi's goal tally during this national team cycle.

Nani, who regained his form in Moscow, and Moutinho, who switched to a deeper playmaker role, added to the team's success.

The Five Shields had a perfect night at Dragon Stadium.

...

Mixed interview area.

Mario, who was already wearing a jacket, was stopped by enthusiastic reporters.

How did it feel to start for the national team for the first time?

"Very good, my teammates helped me a lot, and I'm very happy to have scored a goal!"

"You dominated the first half with one goal and two assists, but Bento substituted you shortly after the start of the second half. What's your take on that?"

Mario was a little confused. He wasn't Yuanfang, so how could he possibly know so much?

Noticing Ronaldo standing next to him, he suddenly had a bright idea and started joking.

"Bento substituted me because I scored more goals. After all, it's Cristiano's 100th appearance, and I can't steal the captain's thunder!"

Camera kicking tactics, provocative interviews.

Mario's two short lines perfectly captured the composure of an old artist.

At the post-match press conference, Bento was unaware that his beloved player had already dug a hole for him.

"A perfect team victory! Cristiano Ronaldo's 100th appearance milestone is marked by two legendary goals!"

"About Mario?"

"He has once again proven himself to be a genius who can change the course of a battle!"

"Two goals and three assists in two games, each goal changing the course of the match; he is truly a big-game player!"

In an interview, Bento spoke candidly, expressing his satisfaction with the team's current strength.

"Regarding the issue that everyone has been concerned about—Mario not passing the ball to Ronaldo—I think the data has already provided the answer!"

"Both of his assists were crucial passes to Cristiano!"

"Remember, we in Portugal are a team, and when we come together, our goal is very clear: to win game after game!!"

"Dear journalists, please stop using such pointless headlines to negatively impact the players' mentality!"

...

When Bento got home and saw the news, he was stunned again!

Just because the next World Cup qualifier is in March next year doesn't mean you can talk nonsense!

He was lying in bed when he suddenly woke up in the middle of the night.

Does Mario have no sense of propriety when it comes to his mouth?

Mario was substituted after contributing to three goals, stating he was in the way because he had scored too many goals!

[Bro, whose business is it? Tell us, and we Barcelona fans will stand up for you!!]

-【Is this something I can say? b( ̄▽ ̄)d】

- [Cristiano Ronaldo is such a ball hog, he's so petty!!]

- [Anyone with a discerning eye can tell this is a joke; just watch the interview video to see for yourself~]

- [Brother No Obligation has come up with a new meme again!!!]

- [Haha, this is what you call scoring a goal that hurts the team!!]

Bento felt his blood pressure skyrocket after reading the comments; he wouldn't be able to train peacefully with the national team next time.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who already has one of the most talked-about figures in football, was further amplified by Mario.

Dry!!

You brat, can't you even read the room when you're joking?!

The coach can only suffer a bit. He just finished explaining why he didn't pass the ball to Ronaldo, and now he has to explain why this goal is in the way.

Bento, whose mind was completely occupied with the headlines, had no interest in reading any other positive reports.

"A brace on the 100th anniversary! Cristiano Ronaldo reaches milestone with a brace, thanks to a brilliant assist from Durant!"

The truth behind Northern Ireland's 0-5 defeat: The Evans brothers are whipped by Mario's magic trick.

Super Mario Ignites the Dragon Stadium! His starting appearance sparked three goals, opening the scoring, and his 60-meter desperate comeback earns him high praise from Bento: "A genius who changed the game!"

Figo: Mario surpasses his 18-year-old self! His long-range shots are sharp, and his fundamentals are solid!

...

Cristiano was also somewhat bewildered upon returning to Madrid. How did the seemingly harmonious Portuguese national team turn into a palace intrigue drama in the media's eyes?

Mario is still a child after all!

The eighteen-year-old boy still acted without restraint during the interview.

He scored an own goal on his very first attempt, a goal he wasn't obligated to pass the ball to.

This time, he got in the way again because he was joking with himself.

I'll have to mentor this little guy more in the future; he needs to know how to speak official jargon and platitudes in front of the camera.

Cristiano Ronaldo, known for his strong execution skills, immediately sent a message to Mario.

I have a journalist friend named Morgan; I suggest you learn from him how to handle a camera if you have the chance.

[This is very important for a future superstar!]

The 18-year-old boy almost couldn't suppress a smile upon seeing the message. Although Brother Luo was very considerate, he wondered if he would actually cause a Mario-style bombardment of Porto.

Shaking his head, Mario pulled Ines away from the endless online debates and decided to first attack the minor celebrity next to him.

A perfect waist-to-hip ratio is showcased on a Simmons mattress.

Amid the rise and fall of latex mattresses, Ines successfully signed a record-breaking contract with Mario, earning him a staggering 100 million euros per hour.

Having tasted the delicious flavor, the young woman took a big bite and extended another invitation to renew her contract.

Super Mario, having exhausted himself in the match, won't be able to admire his waist-to-hip ratio from behind this time.

He could only silently admire the cowgirl's heroic spirit.

.....

On the other hand, as his Instagram followers increased, Mario also began to catch the eye of football bloggers.

"Strong in attack but weak in defense, Mario, a second-rate midfielder who can only survive in a second-tier league!"

"Mario's fatal flaw was masked by the celebration; in the 59th minute, he was easily beaten by McGinn, and Pepe had to clean up the mess!"

"Offense: S-rank, Defense: D-rank!"

"And this guy's a real actor. Even though his defense is terrible, he puts on a really high-spirited act!"

"All that running around on defense, besides wasting some energy and applying some pressure, serves absolutely no purpose!!"

In addition to text and GIF analysis, video enthusiasts have also created video clips on YouTube.

A veteran fan's advice: How Mario's market value increased from €3000 million to €8000 million!

The first thing you see is a compilation of an 18-year-old boy's powerful shots and stylish no-look passes.

"Look at this data!"

"1 goal, 2 assists!"

"Even more amazing than Ronaldo, right?!"

"But wait..."

The camera then switches to Mario's defensive plays, with each painful kick shown at 0.5x speed.

"Welcome to The Self-Cultivation of a Strainer!"

"This genius's defensive awareness is roughly equivalent to: Where's the ball? Where's the player?!"

"Forget it, I'd better prepare for a counterattack first!"

"Although this guy is energetic on the field and his celebrations are flashy, he's clearly a crippled player!!"

"He's a god on offense, but on defense, even my grandma on crutches could beat him!"

"Believe me, this will be the biggest obstacle to him joining a wealthy family!"

"Now, not only the midfielders, but even the forwards have to participate in defense. Scouts from all clubs, don't be fooled by this one-legged midfielder!!"

"A 6000 million yuan penalty for breach of contract is absolutely not worth it!!!"
