Football: Starting with the Crescent Moon Slash

Jiang Yan dribbled forward and was about to shoot near the edge of the penalty area.

[God's Perspective] Initiated immediately.

The defenders on both sides are about to get into position. If you shoot from this position, your shot will be blocked by the defenders.

Therefore, he decisively abandoned the "powerful shot" and instead skillfully stopped and dribbled, firmly protecting the ball at his feet.

Just as the defenders were about to come to their aid, Jiang Yan immediately dribbled laterally, drawing away the two defenders in front of him.

"Jiang Shen is dribbling the ball sideways! What is he going to do?"

Under the astonished gazes of the commentators and a host of fans.

Jiang Yan had a flash of inspiration and delivered a superb backheel flick.

The ball remained stationary in place!

"He stopped the ball!"

"But no one on the BBC can get to his position to control the ball! Jiang Shen has made a rare mistake!"

Upon seeing this, Roma's defenders immediately moved forward to clear the ball.

At that moment, a white figure appeared in front of the ball.

"Someone's there to meet us! It was him!!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Jiang Yan smiled and looked at the two defenders who were closely marking him with amusement.

After realizing he had lost his position, Rüdiger hurriedly tried to turn back and make amends for his mistake.

But when he saw that white figure, only despair remained on his face.

"I'm not the only one in our team who can play the all-around midfield role...right, Luca?"

……

"It's Modric! Luka Modric! The Croatian captain! A national hero who emerged from the flames of war! He's about to shoot!!!!"

Modric met the ball with a powerful outside-of-the-foot shot.

After a muffled thud,

The ball, with extreme speed and an unpredictable arc, swooped into the net!

The goalkeeper was completely unable to make an effective save against such a shot and could only watch helplessly as the ball flew into the net.

Luka Modric and Jiang Yan embraced each other excitedly in celebration.

The photographers off the field excitedly captured this moment; perhaps in the future, this will be the rarest photo of the two midfield maestros together.

……

"Goal!"

「2:0！仅仅18分钟，皇家马德里在主场2:0领先红狼罗马！」

"That was a beautiful goal! Jiang Yan's lightning-fast first touch, and Modric's powerful outside-of-the-foot shot—their teamwork was flawless!"

"Perhaps Modric is the midfielder best suited to Jiang Yan!"

[Jiang Shen is way too much! He's practically got supernatural powers!]

Modric's teamwork was also excellent; the two of them are perfectly in sync!

If Jiang Yan could reach Modric's level, would the Chinese national football team still fail to qualify for the World Cup?

[It seems Jiang Yan now possesses 50% of the Magic Flute's power!]

[Fuck, why was I so stubborn and went for the small ball! Jiang Yan, that jinx!]

[I've already said it, Mr. Jiang Yan is Little Ball Dog's nightmare!]

With Jiang Yan around, who would dare bet on under betting? You'd better not gamble at all!

[Hahahaha! One million yuan of public funds were used for a 3-year-old, and the technician is already on her way!]

……

Benitez, sitting on the coach's bench, excitedly stood up and threw a left uppercut!

He then went to the sidelines and clapped continuously, directing the players' positioning.

Clearly, this is the effect Benitez wanted!

Modric and Jiang Yan's partnership is effective in both attack and defense, making them Real Madrid's biggest weapon in midfield!

……

Faced with Real Madrid's growing offensive momentum, Roma's head coach Spalletti finally couldn't sit still any longer.

The game had only been going on for less than 20 minutes when they conceded two goals in quick succession. This was a recipe for disaster!

Although the second leg will be played in Rome, if they are overwhelmed here, there's no chance of a comeback when they return home.

"We must score at least one goal, no matter what!"

Spalletti walked to the sidelines and called some of the players over to him.

"Hey Salah, don't get too entangled with that number 18, pass the ball more!"

"El Shaarawy! The next tactic is..."

……

The first half has reached 30 minutes.

El Shaarawy lost possession, Danilo passed the ball to Modric, and Real Madrid immediately switched from defense to attack.

In this match, Jiang Yan and Modric were the two engines of this Real Madrid team.

Modric passed the ball to Benzema, who then laid it off to Jiang Yan, who was making a run forward.

Facing the pressing defender, Jiang Yan used a "fried dumpling" move to get past him, finally creating a shooting angle.

"Jiang Yan's shot!!!"

"The goalkeeper made a diving save! What a pity! That shot was too straight!"

"Jiang Yan is in excellent form today. After all, it's the first Champions League knockout match, so it's normal for him to want to show his skills."

"That's right, after all, the team is still in the lead, so they certainly have the ability to perform!"

[Haha, these two commentators clearly don't bet on football. 2-0 is the biggest trap in the world of football!]

……

After Szczesny caught the ball securely, he immediately stood up and passed it to Dzeko in the attacking third.

"Oh no! Is Rome going to... launch a counterattack!?"

"Roma has adopted the same tactics as Real Madrid! Counter-attacking!"

Dzeko chested the ball down and passed it to Salah on the wing before sprinting toward the penalty area.

Although Jiang Yan returned to defend in time, Salah had already dashed out, not giving Jiang Yan a chance to mark him.

Roma's tactics are based on defense and counter-attack, and they mainly target the Jiangyan route.

If Jiang Yan goes forward to attack, then Real Madrid will only have Marcelo left on the left flank!

It's important to know that Marcelo is a prime example of a player who excels in attack but is weak in defense.

With Jiang Yan and Modric both going up to attack, it means there aren't enough players to mark Dzeko, Salah, and El Shaarawy simultaneously.

Salah easily dribbled past Marcelo with a change of direction.

This created a situation where the enemy outnumbered the enemy in certain areas.

"We can see that Roma's counter-attacking style is very sharp! Marcelo's defensive weaknesses were completely exploited!"

"Salah dribbles straight to the byline!"

"Inside the penalty area, El Shaarawy and Dzeko are ready to pounce!"

"Jiang Yan and Marcelo are both chasing back!"

At this moment, Salah had no defenders around him, which was an opportunity that was practically nonexistent for a professional player.

Salah then decisively cut inside, attempting to shoot directly at the goal.

After cutting inside to his shooting range, Salah raised his foot and shot!

boom!

A powerful shot was taken, but the ball slammed heavily against the crossbar.

Just then, Dzeko seemed to have anticipated the ball, leaping high before Pepe and Ramos could react, and then exerting force with his abdomen!

"Like a mountain crashing down! The ball goes into the net!"

"Dzeko! Dzeko! Dzeko! I never expected it to be him!"

"Dzeko's powerful header helped the team pull one back, securing a valuable away goal!"

Dzeko's goal pulled one back for Roma.

[Damn, is this 2-0 score really the biggest trap in football?]
