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

The entire stadium of over 50,000 people chanted the name of one person, and Mario was worshipped by the fans like a king in the stadium.

After waving to the fans and exchanging jerseys with his opponents, Mario went straight back to the locker room, keeping his achievements hidden.

There's no need for me to say anything more; in the information age, such moments of brilliance will naturally unfold.

In a Champions League match, Mario scored both on and off the field.

Inside the venue,

Mario helped Porto secure their third consecutive victory in the group stage, putting them just one step away from advancing to the knockout stage!

This is the team's best start to the Champions League since the 1999-2000 season, with three wins and 9 points, placing them at the top of Group A.

Meanwhile, Paris Saint-Germain defeated Dinamo Zagreb to finish second with 6 points, while Dynamo Kyiv finished third with 3 points.

Two weeks later, in the fourth round of the Champions League group stage, Porto only needs to remain unbeaten to secure a place in the round of 16.

Off-site,

Mario had just taken out his phone in the locker room when he saw the club's reward.

Porto were very efficient; they had already arranged for staff to post a notice on their official website during halftime.

Mario's actions were immediately recognized with honors and money.

And that's not all...

Inside Mendes' luxurious office, the Portuguese brokerage tycoon smiled as he watched the best defensive clips shared by netizens on his iPad.

"A born superstar!!"

"The manufacturer's endorsement offer is too low; you need to renegotiate!"

"Keep the filming short so as not to disturb Mario's rest!"

...

Besides his rising endorsement deals, Mario's success in two areas also made him the media focus after the third round of the Champions League group stage, surpassing many other top clubs.

"Champions League Best Defender: Mario's Bloodstained Fingertips Rekindle the Passion on the Football Field!"

"A brace for assists is a display of skill, a kneeling save is a crowning achievement of character; Mario's performance defines the spirit of sports."

3-0 Victory! Mario's Two Assists Seal the Game, His Kneeling Rescue Added to Football Emergency Case Studies

News of a Portuguese league team playing against a Ukrainian team surpassed that of many other top clubs to top the trending searches.

The rescue video garnered over 100 million views across the internet within 12 hours of being broadcast by FIFA.

The FIFA president praised Mario and the players on the field to the media, saying that the football world needs this kind of positive energy.

With numerous likes and promotions, Super Mario's popularity has gradually spread.

On Instagram, his followers surged by 80 in a single day, directly surpassing the 200 million mark.

With the increase in fan base and media attention, Mario's commercial value has also risen accordingly.

Nike approached Mendes to discuss a potential charitable collaboration.

The fastest to act was the local Portuguese brand, Super Bock beer, which sent the endorsement contract and shooting script directly to the company's email, inviting Mario to shoot a game with the theme of "Heroes on and off the field".

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

"Joseph, why don't they ask me to go with you to film GG?"

Ines, who drew a small circle on Mario's chest, was a little worried that her boyfriend was meeting new girls.

They don't really understand your inner beauty; you're not young anymore!

Mario took a sip of milk and joked with a smile.

"You're so annoying!!"

"I'm never buying Triumph products again!" The girlfriend was still a little angry, and she decided to take her anger out on the brand ambassador.

"Honey, you're the most beautiful Portuguese girl I've ever seen, be confident!"

After Mario finished speaking, he began to lay out the outline without saying a word, choosing to silently endure the deathly rock music of an obscure, unknown actor.

He's still looking forward to tomorrow's beer.

Beach, bikinis, and beer—this script naturally made the male lead interested in the 2012 Triumph spokesperson.

Mario only remembered that Gulnazar had also endorsed this German brand.

Tomorrow, an 18-year-old girl will personally assess the merits of Triumph's brand ambassador.

As for whether it's a problem for athletes to take photos of beer bottles?

The third-generation football king also did this, so there's no doubt it's not a big deal.

...

Condi in Porto is a small seaside town.

Mario not only made his professional debut here, but also his first appearance in the Game of Thrones.

"This bikini doesn't look good, Ortiz, change into something sexier~" The director sitting behind the monitor clearly understood men's hearts.

Who wouldn't love it? It's so obvious!

Who can resist the satisfying bouncy feeling of the rope snapping open immediately after being pulled?

"Ortiz, this is my first time, so I'm still a bit inexperienced."

"You're too stiff. Relax and don't look at the camera."

"Thank you, it was such a pleasure working with you!"

"You're too kind, I'm a big fan of yours," Ortiz said, shaking his wet hair and unleashing a powerful shot.

"Thanks for your support. If you can't get tickets, I can give you tickets for your friends or family~"

"See you next time! By the way, you have the best figure I've ever seen in Portugal!"

Ortiz, who was seven years older than Mario, suddenly leaned close to the eighteen-year-old boy's ear and whispered something.

"Maybe next time, we can play Super Mario together~"

Mario, who hadn't yet adjusted to the life of a football star, felt a little guilty, especially after returning home and eating a nutritious dinner prepared by his wife.

Looking at the pretty and cute girl, he could only silently wish she were there.

Wise people don't fall in love!

Playing football is the foundation of my life!

The real priority is to train harder, improve physical fitness, address weaknesses, win the championship, unlock new modules, and become the undisputed GOAT in football.

With Benfica looming behind them, a mere two-point lead is not an option to let our guard down.

......

2012年10月29日，马里奥下半场打入一粒锦上添花的进球帮助球队客场3：1击败埃斯托里尔。

Four days later, against Ronaldo's hometown team, Mario contributed a goal and an assist in the first half, and Porto's multiple players contributed to the final victory of 7-0 against Madeira.

Apart from a draw in their first League Cup match, Porto have won seven straight games, but they still haven't pulled away from Benfica.

This powerhouse in Lisbon is far stronger than its sister team, Sporting CP, and is on an eight-game unbeaten run, closely trailing behind the giants.

For Mario personally, with five goals and three assists in four league games, contributing to eight goals, he has become a powerful asset to the Porto team.

He doesn't need his uncle to pull strings or give him special treatment; he has secured a starting position on the team based on his own abilities. However, due to limitations in physical condition and age, his playing time hasn't accumulated to a great extent.

On December 5, 2012, Mario, who had just received the October Player of the Month medal from the Portuguese Football Federation, embarked on a journey to Ukraine with his teammates.

The Champions League group stage resumes with Dynamo Kyiv hosting Porto at the Lobanovsky Stadium.

Before the match, various news media outlets had already begun generating buzz.

Whether any group will secure a spot in the round of 16 or be eliminated early will be revealed after this round.

The focus of this Group A match was not only on the qualification situation, but also on Mario's honor.

This is the highest recognition from the Ukrainian Emergency Services for Mario's extraordinary courage, calm judgment, and humanitarian spirit demonstrated in the emergency.
