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

Chapter 70 Siuper; The league gap widens again, how many rounds can 11 points secure the championship in advance?

Dier's clearance didn't go very far; outside the penalty area, Mario faced the goal and chested down the rebound.

As the ball landed, the opponent also tracked back into position, turning the fast counter-attack into a positional attack.

With two defenders looming in front of him, Rojo prepared to press from the front, while Adrian Silva provided support from the side.

Mario didn't force his way in. With his well-rounded abilities, he could be considered a low-end version of the offensive kaleidoscope in one-on-one combat, but it was too early for him to take on two opponents at once.

Unable to break through vertically using his individual skills, Mario chose to pass the ball to Defort and then stretch the defense laterally.

In positional warfare, one must learn to use the shift between strong and weak sides to find space. Although his current organizational ability is only 6, Mario, who has been watching football for many years, has heard of it.

Moreover, by passing the ball out, one can better utilize long-range shooting ability through off-the-ball support.

With Moutinho and Rodriguez both rested, Mario suddenly realized that he still had many weaknesses as an attacking midfielder.

Individual abilities are not outstanding, making it impossible to withstand strong vertical attacks from multiple opponents!

His organizational skills are barely passable; he can't be a passing hub, and he can easily tear apart the defense with just a few touches of the ball.

Wrong, we still can't be blinded by the data generated by relying on long-range shooting and tactical design.

Keep up the good work and strive to unlock the new template as soon as possible, accelerating our march towards the perfect midfield!

The ball was passed around the field and eventually reached the feet of Russian player Ismailov.

When facing his former employer again, his performance was not as sharp.

After a stretch of play down the flank, the resulting cross was easily cleared by João Sinho at the near post.

After Sandro made a forward run and won the second ball, he immediately switched the ball to the right side.

The ball came to Mario's feet again, but this time there was space in front of him!

"Porto played with great patience!"

"Mario knows how to play to his strengths!"

"His real weapon is the thrust from behind!!"

Inside the penalty area, Martinez quickly made a run back.

Linaudo, who was marking Mario, paused for a moment.

The last goal conceded was from a through ball sent by Mario; his fake shot and real pass fooled Ilori.

Stick close to him and block his passing lanes, but be careful that the opponent doesn't try the same trick again!

Linaudo shifted his weight slightly inward, tilted his body, and prepared his hands.

Mario's eyes swept over the defenders in front of him, and then over the small patch of grass that had suddenly appeared at the edge of the penalty area.

The muscle memory honed through countless hours of training instantly appeared!

The 18-year-old, who had absolute shooting rights within the team, acted decisively, gently flicking the ball to the outside with his left foot.

Linaudo immediately moved inward, preparing to block.

But Mario didn't continue dribbling the ball, didn't adjust his steps, and didn't make any unnecessary movements.

Just as the left foot flicked the ball into the right position, the right foot landed immediately, the supporting leg was firmly locked on the ground, and the ankle of the non-dominant foot tensed up instantly!

Slight leg lifts and arm swings!

The inward-curving posture continued until the ball left the foot!

boom! !

"Mario has the ball, and he chooses to shoot directly at the goal!"

Accompanied by the commentator's roar, a perfect arc streaked across the Lisbon night sky!

Almost without warning, the ball curled inwards, heading straight for the top right corner of the goal.

Patricio's pupils suddenly contracted.

His focus was originally on the central area, preparing to guard against Porto finding Martinez.

By the time he realized it was a shot, the ball had already flown past the crowd in front of the penalty area and was hurtling towards him.

He struggled to his feet, stretching out his left hand as far as he could!

But it was too late!!

The ball gracefully glides through the corner, shaking the net!

Swish! !

A crisp, satisfying sound like a three-pointer swishing through the net!

Porto 2-0 Sporting CP!

"G00000000O0AL!"

"World wave!"

"José Mario Pereira!"

"A goal and an assist in the 25th minute!"

"He unleashed a sudden long-range shot from just outside the penalty area, firing a shot with almost no room to adjust, and changed the score again."

"For the last goal, Mario used a fake shot and a real pass to deceive the opponent and then delivered a through ball, assisting Jackson to score."

"Now, when he gets the ball again, the opponent gives him the opportunity and space to shoot."

"Even if it was only for a moment, even if there was only a gap of less than half a meter, this long-range shooting genius immediately seized the opportunity."

"No adjustments needed, no feints required, just shoot!"

"The ball curved perfectly and spun into the corner!"

"No solution!"

"This is psychological warfare!"

"This is a perfect example of playing football with your brain!!"

"He created shooting space for himself with an assist!!"

"Rinaudo wasn't fooled by this goal, he was fooled by the last one. This is a soap opera, a masterful performance!!"

"This is Super Mario delivered directly by Sporting CP!!!"

"Thank you to our opponents for giving us such a wonderful night!!!!"

—【Awesome, beautiful long-angle shot~~】

—[Mario's leadership is still quite impressive, with a goal and an assist!]

—To be honest, without Moutinho and Rodriguez, Porto's attacking play lacked depth.

—【If we hold onto this score, even with Benfica faltering, we can widen the gap again!】

—【Mom, Jackson just tied the goal tally, and Mario has broken the record again!!!】

—【A midfielder has become the top scorer; that's incredible attacking prowess!~~】

—【He reminds me of Chelsea's Lampard, who also scored an incredible number of goals!!】

—【It's just the Portuguese league; the data is all inflated!】

In the stands, Porto fans in a corner section were interacting with Mario.

They watched as the handsome young man in front of them leaped high into the air, spun around, and then lowered his hands downwards.

As they landed, they and Mario let out a thunderous roar!

"Siu!!!!!!!!!"

'

"Per Mario!!!"

Not only did Mario beat him to his own celebration, but he also added the finishing touch!

The powerful "Siu" followed by the English word "super" is a perfect match for Super Mario!

On the sidelines, Pereira raised his fists above his head and shouted to the sky.

As both his uncle and head coach, he was genuinely happy for his nephew!

"This is all thanks to my training!"

"In just nine months, he went from being a discarded player by Sporting Lisbon to becoming the brightest new star in the Portuguese league!!"

"Who is the catalyst?"

"Of course, it's myself, the Porto coach who has the keen eye to recognize talent!"

"Of course, it's my own kind uncle who recommends talent without hesitation, even if it's related to him!!"

Sporting CP fans could only watch the replay on the big screen in silence.

Every time they play against Porto, they get really sour!

These players should have been on our side!

They feel bad just thinking about it!

Let's take a look at the slow-motion replay.

Mario's shot, from the moment he took it to the moment it went into the net, was perfect.

What's even more perfect is that the space for this shot was created by him with his previous assist.

The €6000 million man should clearly belong to Sporting Lisbon!

The fans were in a bad mood, and so were the players on the field. Trailing by two goals, they pressed forward aggressively, but Porto quickly scored again.

Varela launched a counter-attack and delivered a cutback pass, which De Vrij, unmarked, converted to make it the second consecutive goal.

They were completely overwhelmed by halftime, and despite the efforts of Sporting CP's players, they were ultimately unable to turn the tide.

The match ended with Porto defeating the home team 4-1, taking all 3 points and continuing to lead the Portuguese league.

Mario scored and assisted in the first half, bringing his league stats to 17 goals and 7 assists!

Even more encouraging is that Benfica were held to a draw by their opponents in this round of matches.

With an 11-point gap and 9 rounds left in the league, Mario has already started doing math problems on his fingers.

If everything goes smoothly, how quickly can I get the points to unlock new abilities?

Why is the head-to-head match against Benfica in the 29th round?!
