Chapter 76 Soft-legged Shrimp and Hard-legged Crab
This moment.
Fans seemed to see the shadows of many star players in this young Chinese boy.
The most crucial link for those top-tier wealthy families.
The metronome that gets the team from defense to offense!
Sousa's small mouth was slightly open.
Yaldin was confident.
The moment of receiving the ball.
Jiang Ming had already looked up to confirm the positions of the forwards.
My ankle jerked.
A kick to the ball.
Penetrate the defenses!
It landed right at Bernardo Silva's feet.
"Wow! Master!"
"Jiang Ming's performance was masterful!"
"B. Silva, dribble laterally, cut inside!"
Suddenly, he kicked out!
The football flew past the right edge of the penalty area.
It curves out in a beautiful arc.
Tatarusanu was incredibly focused.
He reacted extremely quickly and leaped to make the save.
One-handed strike!
He barely managed to hit the ball out.
The football is flying in mid-air.
Carrillo had been waiting inside the penalty area for quite some time.
He pushed off with his feet and jumped suddenly.
At the moment of contact, he headed the ball towards the goal!
"It's over!" Sosa's heart sank.
Then you see the ball flying towards the goal with tremendous force.
DUANG~~
Crossbeam!
The football bounced twice and landed at the edge of the penalty area.
"That was close!"
Sosa breathed a sigh of relief.
"If we can clear this ball now, we'll have a counter-attack opportunity..."
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the ball that landed at the edge of the penalty area.
Suddenly.
A red and white figure appeared in front of the ball like a ghost.
ginger!!!
When did he appear there?
Jiang Ming did not hesitate.
Facing the incoming ball.
Single-leg support.
Leaning to the left.
The ball is touched by the instep.
Shot with a push!
The football had a slight side spin.
It wrote the letter C in the air!
Tatarusanu was still on the grass, having just made a save.
He could only live in despair.
Watching this ball playfully...
Shot into the net!
"..."
"..."
In that instant, the entire Frankie Stadium transformed into the Frankie Library.
"GOOOOOOOOALLLL!!!"
It wasn't until the DJ started playing a long note that everyone came to their senses.
The cheers of the Monaco fans instantly drowned out the sighs of the Florence fans.
The fans in the first row waved their red and white flags wildly.
They kept repeating the same name.
Although they have called it many times this season.
But they could never pronounce the name correctly.
After all, this is a Chinese name!
……
"pretty!"
"Goal!!"
"In the final moments of the match, it should have been Florence's pressing that mattered!"
"But in the end, it turned into a goal for Monaco!"
"Jiang Ming in midfield is like Busquets for Barcelona; with a single turn, Monaco can switch from defense to attack!"
"Top-notch ball-clearing ability! A masterful pass!"
"Then came the run and the shot..."
"This demonstrates the young Chinese player's awareness and ability to seize opportunities!"
"He orchestrates goals with such skill! He's incredibly well-rounded!"
"1-2!! Monaco has actually turned the game around after being dominated in the first half!"
……
Studio.
Because of the foot-switching, the refresh rate of the bullet comments slowed down, causing a brief lag.
Immediately.
Slide like a waterfall.
"Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!!"
"That's awesome!"
"I'm buying the big ball! I'm a lifelong Jiang Ming fan! I'm buying a jersey!"
"I told you, you can always trust Jiang Ming!"
"He's the only one who acts like he's placed a bet! He's always thinking about scoring in the final moments of the game!"
"Damn, that familiar feeling of turning from defense to attack... Come to Barcelona! We desperately need technically gifted players like that!"
……
Monaco's players swarmed onto Jiang Ming one after another.
The team will return home with a lead.
This gave them such an advantage.
How could they not be excited about this?
Only Jiang Ming kept patting the grass under everyone else.
"We surrender! We surrender!"
"Could you please let me get up...?"
……
Sidelines.
"NICEEEEEE!!!"
Jardine and his assistant, Cardella, bumped shoulders.
A last-minute winner is definitely the most satisfying way to score in the world of football!
They won against Florence away from home.
Back at home, they will have the complete advantage!
Does this mean...
They're going to make it to the Europa League Round of 16!
the other side.
Sousa plopped back down on the bench.
"Damn it, this Chinese kid is really weird."
"Monaco is nothing without him..."
……
After the celebration.
There is very little time left in the game.
Florence's players were powerless and had no will to fight.
"Beep~ Beep~ Beep—"
Two short and one long.
The referee blew the final whistle.
A sigh immediately rippled through the Frankie Stadium.
Florence 1-2 Monaco!
Only Monaco fans remained in the stadium, celebrating wildly and loudly.
……
Post-match press conference.
Sousa pursed his lips and pulled the microphone closer.
"Our tactics were very successful in this game, at least until the start of the second half."
"Jiang disappeared in the first half; we contained him to a great extent."
"However... two factors changed the course of the game."
"On one hand, there's Monaco's manager, Jardim, who truly lives up to his reputation as a coach who can hold his own against me!"
"His new tactics broke down my high press, and of course, the players' declining physical condition was also a factor."
"On the other hand, there's ginger."
"He single-handedly shouldered most of the team's offensive responsibilities; every team would want a player like him."
"But please rest assured! We will never give up! We will fight to the very last second away from home!"
At this point, Sousa got up and left his seat.
"Ha ha……"
Two loud laughs rang out outside the press conference hall.
Then, Yardin walked in with a serious expression and a downturned mouth.
He has lost count of how many times he has smiled at press conferences.
We need to hold on this time.
"Paul said my tactics were very successful?"
"It was indeed a factor that influenced this match."
"But more praise should be reserved for the players on the field."
"They fought with all their might and only conceded one goal under Florence's intense pressure in the first half."
"And they successfully completed the comeback in the second half!"
"ginger……"
"To exaggerate a bit, he's the little Xavier of Monaco!"
wow——
The audience erupted in uproar.
The flashbulbs went off like crazy.
Yardin felt as if he were on the beach of Iwo Jima.
……
Mixed interview area.
Jiang Ming followed behind his teammates with his bag on his back.
A large group of reporters swarmed in like a tide.
Long guns and short cannons were immediately aimed at the Chinese youth.
Just like Tom at the concert, who has to deal with several instruments at the same time.
"Jiang! You're the best player of the game again!"
"You've only played three Europa League matches, yet you've won MVP every single one!"
"Does this mean you're a player who gets tougher in big games?"
Jiang Ming raised an eyebrow and said calmly:
"There is a saying in China."
"They're called soft-legged shrimp and hard-legged crab."
"Perhaps I am the latter."
You can even learn about Chinese culture while doing interviews!
The reporters continued to ask questions.
"Jiang! You are more than just a player for Monaco."
"He is also a Chinese citizen."
"The Chinese team will face a crucial match in the Asian qualifiers for the World Cup next month."
Will you travel with the team to the competition?
"WU?!"
During the competition.
He could be a hard-shelled crab!
However, on similar issues...
He can only be a spineless coward...
