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

The game continued, and the trailing opponent began to push their formation forward.

A pass on the left flank was a little hasty, and the bearded defensive midfielder Duarte pounced like a cheetah waiting for the right moment, making a clean and decisive sliding tackle to intercept the ball.

He looked up and, almost without pausing, delivered a long pass over the top.

The ball traced a high parabola in the air and landed in the open area of ​​the attacking third.

João headed the ball on, and Mario burst through the gap between the two opposing midfielders in an instant. Porto U19's new core player made a perfect run into the box.

In the instant of his sprint, his cleats left deep scratches on the wet grass. Mario looked up to observe the trajectory of the ball, adjusted his footing, and gently tapped the ball with the arch of his foot.

Perfect ball control!

The ball obediently landed in front of his right foot, and the opportunity arose instantly.

The right-back defending Mario retreated while fighting, not daring to press forward, for fear of being outmaneuvered in an instant.

Blocking the middle and releasing the edge, and predicting and prioritizing the selection of positions for permanent retreat also require skill.

Mario remained calm, dribbling the ball toward the penalty area while glancing around with his peripheral vision.

João is moving laterally, drawing the attention of a center-back.

good chance!

He suddenly stopped and slowed down, then flicked the ball to the left with his right foot, preparing to cut inside.

The opposing right-back fell for the trap and shifted his weight to the left.

At that very moment, Mario flicked the ball outward with the outside of his right foot, accelerating down the wing!

The deceptive movements and 7-point dribbling ability are very useful in U19.

As they approached the goal line, Mario could already see the goalkeeper's tense face.

He cut the ball back with his left foot, dodging the sliding tackle from the defender.

A chance to face the goal directly has arrived!

Chaos erupted around the penalty spot, with the opposing goalkeeper blocking the near post and his legs slightly apart.

The panting and footsteps behind me were getting closer!

The opening flashed by, and without any hesitation, Mario deftly pushed the ball with the instep of his right foot.

The ball rolled quickly along the grass, and the goalkeeper hurriedly closed his legs, but the ball had already passed through the small door between his legs and slowly rolled into the net.

Gooooal!!!

2: 0!

"A second time!"

"Did you see that?"

"He is definitely Porto's future star!!"

"I need to seize this opportunity and make the most of this potential star!!!" Ines, who has been a regular in Porto's various youth teams, felt like she was about to burst out laughing.

On the field, Mario didn't run to celebrate; instead, he chose to stand still and look towards Vitor Pereira in the stands.

There's been too little exposure for U19 players. Uncle, take me to the Portuguese Super League!

You have to become famous as early as possible!!

Pereira has yet to accept the fact that his nephew scored two goals in five minutes.

On the other hand, they misinterpreted the eye contact and thought Mario was thanking them, Oliveira was very excited.

The extra rewards and generous performance bonuses for raising little demons seemed to be beckoning him.

……

The game continued, and after conceding two goals in a short period of time, the opposing coach immediately made adjustments, assigning a defensive midfielder to specifically mark the hottest player of the day.

Mario is starting to enjoy the treatment of a star player.

But Porto isn't fighting alone with their promising young star.

Thiago, the right winger, started cutting inside frequently, not to shoot, but to draw away a defender with each cut.

Left winger Carlos resolutely went down the wing, forcing the opposing full-back to be unable to cut inside.

Space is being torn apart bit by bit.

In the 20th minute of the match, Thiago once again tucked inside, drawing the attention of the opposing right-back and defensive midfielder.

Just as the two closed in on Thiago, Mario suddenly retreated.

The other side, number 15, was stunned for a moment, and that moment of hesitation made them half a step too late.

Midfielder Duarte, understanding the play perfectly, launched a through ball that pierced the defense. The ball slipped between two defenders, finding the key player on the field with pinpoint accuracy.

With his back to the goal, Mario didn't stop the ball, but instead gently tapped it with the back of his right foot.

A beautiful pass between the player and the ball!

He turned to the left, bypassing the defender on the other side. The ball rolled obediently forward, as if an invisible thread connected it to Mario's foot.

His dribbling moves were as fluid as a dance.

When he regained control of the ball, he was facing the direction of the attack.

The opponent's last center-back rushed forward, but Mario had already seen a better option.

He gently passed the ball to Carlos, who was making a run down the left flank, while he himself charged full speed into the penalty area.

Carlos didn't try to score himself; he cut the ball back from near the byline. The ball sailed through the chaos of the six-yard box and reached the penalty spot.

The ball arrives, and the player arrives!

Without needing to adjust his footing, a gentle push with the instep of his right foot changed the ball's direction, sending it rolling toward the empty bottom left corner of the goal.

3:0! !

hat trick!!!

The Porto fans at the stadium went wild; scoring three goals in twenty minutes was secondary.

More importantly, it was a flawless performance that stood out from the crowd!

This isn't just an uncut gem; it's a dazzling diamond!

Of course, the most penetrating shout came from Ines, a relatively unknown actress.

She really wants to hold onto Mario's diamond ring!

The marks left by the sliding knees in the corner area are clearly visible!

The eighteen-year-old boy, shirtless, was piled on top of his teammates like a human pyramid, with Mario at the bottom feeling a suffocating joy.

Oliveira couldn't stop laughing on the sidelines. The new tactics were a great success, backed by a big win and a hat-trick. Mario could definitely get his teammates to willingly support him.

In the stands, Pereira was caught in a dilemma...

The nephew, who was dismissed by Sporting Lisbon, joined the team and was promoted to the first team for training after only 6 days and a youth team match.

Would anyone believe me if I said I didn't use connections?

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

The slaughter on the field continued. After taking a large lead, the opposing team completely abandoned defense and pushed their formation forward significantly.

With their rear in imminent danger, this is also the best opportunity to launch a counterattack.

The opposing team's corner kick was punched away by the goalkeeper with both fists.

Instead of clearing the ball with a long kick after receiving it, the right-back found Mario, who had dropped back to receive it.

Turn around and observe.

The enemy's defensive line is hurriedly chasing back;

João raises his hand on the left side, asking for the ball;

There is a large open area on the right;

Thiago has started!

Mario made a decision immediately!

The gap between the left center-back and the left left back is extremely narrow.

Let's take a gamble!

No, to use the Portuguese player's words, it was a lucky shot.

Without hesitation, he spun an arc with the outside of his right foot.

It wasn't a long pass, nor a through ball, but a precise lobbed pass over the top.

The ball spun as it flew over thirty meters, then began to fall at its highest point, landing in front of the open area.

What's even more ingenious is that the ball's spin causes it to bounce slightly forward after landing, perfectly matching Thiago's sprinting speed.

Mario, who has completed a hat-trick, is in excellent form. His elegant pass not only perfectly showcases his stats but also brings him good luck.

One-on-one with the onrushing goalkeeper, Thiago calmly slotted the ball into the far corner.

Great, Núñez wasn't possessed, and Porto's winger used his full power to change the score again!

4-0!!!

The shouts from the stands were even more enthusiastic, and Pereira, who looked mature and composed wearing sunglasses, joined in.

"Screw it, Mario has to be in the first team!!!"
