Chapter 266: Liga NOS is Back V

*Fweeeeee*

The referee blew his whistle loudly and Taremi stepped up to the ball and hit it towards right down the middle of the goal but unfortunately for the Braga goalkeeper, he had chosen to dive to the right.

Without any suspense, the ball smashed into the back of the net and Mehdi Taremi took off down the sidelines while pointing at the Porto logo on his shirt with excitement all over his face.

{Right down the middle! Cheeky penalty, but he’s gotten away with it}

{It’s his first for his new club and his first in new colors!}

{You can see the excitement on his face which shows how much it matters to him to hit the ground running!}

{The Porto fans will hope to see more from their new man in the upcoming season after a wondrous display on his debut!} The commentator’s comments didn’t stop there, but while he continued his commentary, almost no one was paying full attention to his words.

The excitement had already permeated to the Porto fans away from the stadium and they were already celebrating loudly.

Some of them had already taken off to social media to show off their team’s win despite the clock still running.

The Porto players at the stadium were also excitedly celebrating the goal with Taremi while the Braga players’ countenance was in shambles.

Just when they were so close to getting an equalizer, they had gone on to concede another goal one minute to the end of the ninety minutes originally allocated for the match.

If a comeback was impossible before, it was an equalizer that looked even more impossible now.

At Jason’s house, he took a picture of the match on the television screen before the scene changed to a studio and posted the picture with a congratulatory caption on Instagram and Twitter.

After that, he turned off his TV and headed to his bedroom, as it was already past 11 pm.

Watching the match had gotten his blood boiling and he wished more than anything that he had already recovered and could jump on a field immediately, but the slight pain still coming from his shoulder whenever he overexerted it in the slightest denied him that thought.

With a heavy sigh, he lay in his bed, making sure to avoid putting any pressure on his shoulder as he didn’t want his recovery period to extend any longer than it already was.

Turning off the lights, he reactivated his preset alarm for 6 am and slowly went to sleep.

**26th September 2020**

The past week had passed by quickly with Jason throwing himself into his rehabilitation and doing everything he could so he could rejoin the team even a day earlier.

He was already able to move his shoulder quite a bit and his physical examinations showed that he was recovering well, but his recovery was still following the estimated period and it was unlikely that he would be completely recovered in less than the original two weeks left of his estimated recovery period.

In the end, Jason couldn’t cheat nature, but his efforts weren’t without reward as he was already considered a match fit in all but his shoulder.

This meant that as long as his shoulder recovered to the point where he could be given the green light to join the team again, he could immediately join the team’s line-up... As long as the manager selected him of course.

Of course, he’d still have to keep his brace on for a few weeks even after he was cleared to rejoin the team to greatly reduce the risk of re-injury but Jason didn’t mind bearing with that much if he could be on the field with a ball at his feet.

While Jason had his full focus on his recovery, the second match Liga NOS matchday for the Porto team had arrived and they were to face off against Boavista at the Estadio do Bessa.

While Jason had only his couch pillows for comfort as he watched the match from his television, his teammates were already warming up for their match against Boavista at their opponents home stadium.
