Football: Starting with the Crescent Moon Slash

The hashtag #JiangYan's powerful shot with two assists and other related topics trended in the top ten on Instagram and the Bluebirds' hot list.

This also made Jiang Yan a sensation among fans worldwide.

The name Jiang Yan was suddenly the subject of intense discussion among football fans worldwide.

This is the popularity of La Liga, this is the popularity of Real Madrid.

Of course, Jiang Yan felt quite pleased with himself as he looked at the posts online boasting about himself, but due to Real Madrid's requirements, he couldn't "show off" in the comments section.

So, he gradually developed the idea of ​​creating a new account.

……

Training day.

At Real Madrid's training ground, just after the warm-up training was completed, a dazed figure followed closely beside Jiang Yan.

After half a day, Jiang Yan finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"You big idiot! What are you doing?!"

Jiang Yan roared, startling Kovacic. After a long pause, he said with a hint of ingratiation on his face:

"Sir, look at my new shoes, don't they look nice?"

?

Jiang Yan was too lazy to argue with him about these things.

"Stop following me!"

Even after Jiang Yan said that, Kovacic showed no sign of giving up, so he had no choice but to stop and ask:

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Seeing that Jiang Yan was finally willing to talk to him, Kovacic's expression became serious.

"I want to... become your disciple! It seems that Chinese people are very particular about this kind of expression."

Kovacic actually became Jiang Yan's apprentice?

Hearing the commotion, some Real Madrid players gathered around, hoping to join in the fun.

"Your reading ability and ball handling during the game were simply superb, as were your combinations with Kroos, Modric, Casemiro, and others, and even that powerful shot! Teach me, Master!"

After listening to Kovacic's words, Jiang Yan smiled. He never expected that one day, this Croatian who was three years older than him would actually ask him to be his apprentice.

"Are you mistaken...? If you're going to learn, you should learn from Mr. Luca. I'm still just a greenhorn..."

"If you're a greenhorn, then I'm a paramecium!"

Kovacic took a deep breath.

"Master! I want to play soccer!"

Jiang Yan felt that this plot was very familiar.

It seems I have no choice but to accept this apprentice today.

Just then.

[Ding~ Kovacic's admiration for you has been detected. You have completed the apprenticeship quest and will receive 5 free familiarity points.]

I go!

Now there's no reason not to take on apprentices!

It seems that the system is very optimistic about Kovacic's future development.

Ugh!

Unfortunately, I have no choice but to make an exception and accept an apprentice today!

Meanwhile, Modric, the elder brother of Croatia, was comforting Kovacic.

"Hey, Matteo, Jiang isn't the type to brag. Taking on disciples is something he's probably not good at..."

"it is good."

Jiang Yan interrupted Modric, who swallowed back his words of comfort.

What's wrong with Jiang Yan today?

Has she changed her gender?

"However, calling me 'Master' is too much. Just call me Jiang, like before."

"Okay, Jiang Shen!"

"Um... never mind, as for what I can teach you... you'll just have to experience it for yourself on the court. After all, I'm not good at lecturing."

Despite some setbacks, Kovacic finally achieved his goal and went to training happily.

Jiang Yan accepted the five free attribute points with satisfaction. Including the free attribute points accumulated in the system log, he now had a total of six free attribute points.

During his break, he planned to allocate his 6 free attribute points to prepare for the upcoming Champions League knockout stage.

After a moment's thought, he decided to allocate those points to speed and shooting accuracy.

Shooting accuracy: 68→70

Speed: 65 → 69

"The Champions League knockout stage is just around the corner... I'm getting closer and closer to getting a starting position!"

......

"Of course I'll go! I haven't been assigned any tasks, but since it's your first Champions League knockout match, I'll definitely go watch. And you'll have to let me sit in your VIP box!"

"Of course you'll have a seat, don't worry, Wanyu."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yan stared blankly at the recipe Emily had given him.

"Her first Champions League knockout stage...she should be in England by now...it's her busiest time."

Just as I put down the recipe Emily had given me, there was a knock on the door.

It's obvious who it is without even guessing.

"Boss Jiang~ Open the door quickly, it's me~"

Jiang Yan leaned against the gate.

Isabella is a crazy woman; she wants to do it ten times a night! To maintain his form for the Champions League knockout stage, Jiang Yan has rejected her more than once.

However, Jiang Yan's refusal seemed to arouse some kind of conquering desire in her; the more Jiang Yan refused, the more Isabella wanted him.

Frustrated beyond endurance, Jiang Yan had no choice but to open the door.

"I've told you... you need to stay in good form for the Champions League, you should restrain yourself a bit!"

"Hehehe, don't worry, I'll behave this time~"

"..."

Time quickly came to February 18, 2016.

Real Madrid will play Roma at home first, followed by away.

The pre-match press conference was relaxed, with Benitez, Ronaldo, and Jiang Yan facing interviews from reporters.

Reporter: "Mr. Benitez, your bold use of Jiang Yan has led to widespread rumors that he is your biological son. What is your opinion on this?"

"To be honest, the football I led this Real Madrid team to play wasn't pretty. Since taking over, the threat of being sacked has been a constant companion. It was Jiang Yan who saved me and the Bernabéu's attendance. A favored son? I'd really like to have a favored son like that!"

Reporter: "Jiang Yan, you're about to face your first Champions League knockout match. Are you feeling nervous?"

"Nervous?" Jiang Yan shook his head with a smile. "I'm actually incredibly relaxed right now."

Instagram post: Jiang Yan's feeling about his first Champions League knockout match: incredibly relaxed.

Little Blue Bird: Benitez: Jiang Yan saved me, saved Real Madrid!

Here we go again! Classic Jiang-style slang!

[That's true, before Jiang Yan's meteoric rise, there was indeed a period when I didn't follow Real Madrid's matches!]

[Benedict Benitez's team played terribly in the early stages, but everything changed after Jiang Yan arrived. Jiang Yan saved both Benitez and Real Madrid!]

Does anyone else think that Benitez and Jiang Yan have a mutual redemption vibe?

【Forehead…】

Reporter: "One last question, what kind of football will Real Madrid bring to the audience today?"

After a moment's thought, Benitez calmly replied:

"Beautiful" football that will get the audience's adrenaline pumping.

……

"Madrid!"

Bang bang bang!

"Madrid!"

Bang bang bang!

"Hala Madrid! (Go Real Madrid!)"

Outside the stadium, a massive army of Real Madrid fans had already poured into the stadium.

Away fans, on the other hand, need to be protected by security personnel to enter the away stands.

Tickets for this Champions League match were snapped up overnight by enthusiastic fans, meaning that both the home and away stands were completely full!

Inside the locker room, Benitez was giving final instructions.

"Today, we're going to play... the ultimate defensive counter-attacking style!"
