Greatest Of All Legends-Chapter 774: Heart V

87th minute... 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

After going behind once again, the Lyon team surged forward immediately after resuming the game once again with kick off.

The players who moved up the field spread themselves wide wanting to take advantage of their numbers to cover more width.

After spreading out a bit, someone wearing a Lyon jersey tried to send the ball over the Oporto defense line, but Diogo Costa was quick off his line and caught the ball smoothly on his foot, chipping the ball over Slimani who had rushed forward.

Chasing the ball that he had dribbled over to the left side of the penalty box, he saw Wendell who had fallen deep to receive the ball and sent the ball over to him immediately.

While Diogo Costa rushed back to his goal, Wendell received the ball and turned to face the opponents half of the field.

Spotting an inch of space between the players who were now spread out across, he sent the ball forward toward Vitinha who had gone a bit forward but was rushing back.

The ball flew toward the approaching Vitinha who perfectly caught it, sending a one-touch pass to Taremi before turning and beginning to run forward once again, this time running on the left flank.

Taremi whipped the ball without controlling it, sending a curved through ball into Jason’s path on the flank.

Jason raced to catch the ball, reaching it and beginning to cut in at the edge of the penalty box, squaring off with the Lyon right back.

Cutting right even more, he dragged the defender with him before suddenly giving a back heel pass into the path of Vitinha who had come running behind him.

Not taking any touch to control the ball thanks to the perfectly weighted pass, Vitinha chipped it across the face of the goal, just out of reach of the goal keeper and into the path of Viera who had appeared at the other end of the goal.

{And it’s Viera to finish it off!} The commentator screamed as Viera volleyed the ball calmly into the back of the net.

{Wow! Just wow!}

{That was a lightning fast counterattack if I’ve ever seen one}

{15 seconds ago, the ball was at the other end of the field. Clever movement, beautiful passing, amazing runs on and off the ball and the perfect finish to end it all}

{Now they’re two up and it’s looking like they’re set to run away with it}

The whole stadium was in a frenzy as Viera jogged over to the sidelines and jumped into a knee slide, his arms outstretched wide and a huge smile on his face.

His teammates ran to join him leaving the Lyon players to think about what had just happened.

That goal had struck them out of nowhere. The ball had smoothly gone from one Oporto player to another, avoiding them like they and the ball were positive side magnets.

Before they could move to cover up, the ball had already gone in.

They couldn’t even put the blame on one person in particular as that goal made it look like the whole team was sleeping.

It was a beautiful goal, even they had to admit that.

Taking the ball back to the center of the field dejectedly, they waited for the Oporto players to return as well so the game could continue.

#90th minute...

Jason received the ball on the left and tried to dribble past his marker, but he used too much power on his first touch and the ball was stolen.

Not giving up,the began chasing the opponent, trying to steal it back, but the guy wasn’t letting Jason past.

Jason managed to force him to the center before the guy released the ball to someone else, but he wasn’t able to take possession.

Jason was about to return to his position when he noticed that Viera had taken post on the left, filling in for him, so he slowed down and didn’t return immediately.

Suddenly the Lyon player who had received the ball had the ball stolen from him by Vitinha.

Spotting Jason who was still in the center, Vitinha passed the ball to Jason who received it and spun to the right, dodging two Lyon players on the left.

Marcelo rushed up to tackle Jason, but this allowed Jason to notice that right behind Marcelo was open space all the way to the goal.

Kicking the ball forward, Jason burst forward with amazing pace past the rushing Marcelo and running into the open space.

{Amazing pace from this man here, can he get away?}

{He’s away! He’s one on one!}

Jason raced with the ball and calmly hit it past the underside of the keeper as he came diving in.

{Beautifully put away!!!}

Pointing at the Oporto fans, he raced down the sidelines, stopping right before the corner flag and making a heart shaped gesture in front of his chest.

{Oporto got on this roll just ten minutes ago and they’ve not looked back since then}

{Dying minutes and he’s had his say. He had to have his say!}

{This man! His presence changes everything whenever he’s on the field}

{He’s been involved in every goal for his side ever since he came on and even when he’s not scoring he’s looked a threat}

{His presence, just his presence makes things easier for his teammates. Every time he’s on the ball, every pass, every shot he takes has his opponent scrambling}

{The fans are enjoying this moment. They know it could be the last}

{With the rumors about his departure only getting louder and a permanent transfer all but confirmed they know this may be the end of his time in an Oporto jersey}

{They know and he knows as well because what better way to go out than this!}

{This might just be a friendly game, but it will be one to be remembered by these Oporto fans}

His heart filled with various emotions, Jason turned from the fans as he felt that looking at them and further might make him want to cry.

It was the end.

This Chapter was indeed over.
