As a newly emerging powerhouse in the Premier League, Tottenham has seen it all. To think that a 2-0 victory can shatter their confidence is simply wishful thinking.

What youth army, what youth storm? Who wasn't once one of them!

In the 78th minute, Tottenham's attacks came wave after wave.

Dembele received the ball in the backfield, played a one-two with Dier next to him, successfully got past Fabinho who came up to intercept, and then quickly passed the ball to Son Heung-min on the wing.

Son Heung-min quickly received the ball on the wing and sped off at lightning speed, instantly shattering Monaco's defense.

The opponent's fluctuating speed caused Lemar to slip and fall to the ground; the strength of Asia's number one player is not just for show.

Without stopping the ball, he delivered a high cross, and the ball instantly flew towards the goal. Kane, who had been waiting patiently, leaped up and was determined to head the ball into Monaco's goal.

However, he was fast, but there was someone who was faster than him.

Lei Ming sensed the ball's trajectory from the very beginning, so his timing for jumping was even better than Kane's. He punched the ball hard with both arms, and Kane's head arrived as expected, coinciding perfectly with Lei Ming's fist.

The two then fell to the ground, and Kane immediately clutched his eyes in pain after landing.

"Beep beep beep!"

The referee came over and blew the whistle to stop the game, and then went up to Lei Ming and said that he had fouled and deliberately punched him.

"Yellow card + penalty kick!"

The Monaco players protested the decision, arguing that it was a perfectly normal attack and there was absolutely no foul involved.

Tottenham players surrounded the referee, putting pressure on him and trying to win the penalty.

Although it seems that Kane was indeed a bit slow just now, the bleeding from the corner of his eye can't lie!

Look, he's still lying on the ground, in excruciating pain!

The referee's view was clearly obstructed, and he didn't see the whole thing. When he came over, all he saw was a slight bloodstain from Kyle's eye, which shows that the collision was indeed quite serious.

Lei Ming will not accept the injustice he suffered on the field.

I've practically memorized the rules of the court in the last three days, do you think I can fool you like this?

"No, sir, please listen to me. He came over there by himself. I touched the ball first before he came over. If you don't believe me, please watch the replay. I swear in the name of God, my fist is absolutely innocent."

For some reason, the referee, who had just been cold and clearly about to give Lei Ming a card, hesitated for a moment after hearing Lei Ming's words. It was as if his words had a magical power, making them more convincing than anyone else around him.

Yes, the referee saw sincerity in this kid's eyes.

Just then, the linesman beckoned to the other person, signaling them to come over.

Lei Ming, who had only wanted to try his best, did not expect that his words would actually have an effect.

The rules for goalkeepers are absolutely true!

What is the head referee? He is the 12th person who can truly decide the outcome of a match. Once he speaks, it's like water spilled; there's rarely a chance to take it back.

But today, this referee seems to be very fair.

After a short wait, about a minute, when the referee ran back onto the field and gestured to retract his decision, all the Monaco fans breathed a sigh of relief.

This drew applause from all the Monaco fans in the stadium.

"Did my negotiation skills work? The boost is pretty good!"

Seeing this, Lei Ming was a little excited.

After the game restarted, Kane, who had struggled to his feet, had an OK sign on his face.

As the match drew to a close, Tottenham's players finally showed signs of impatience.

During this period, they took many shots, but no matter how they shot, they could never get past Monaco's number 99 player in front of the goal. The opponent was like a high mountain, guarding Monaco's goal tightly.

Even though the opponent's movements looked extremely unorthodox, like a complete novice, they always managed to block the goal in a very strange way.

With incredible saves, including at least five or six certain goals, the mighty Tottenham forwards collectively went silent, a truly rare occurrence for a top Premier League team.

In the 85th minute, the Monaco coach made his first substitution, with Jemerson coming off the field to replace Moutinho, who had just recovered from an injury.

After suffering an injury at the end of last season, the Portuguese midfielder was out of the spotlight for a while. After his injury improved, Jardim immediately trusted and used him. After all, Monaco's bench depth is not high, and an extra player means extra strength, especially a quality player like Moutinho.

They wouldn't have achieved such good results last season without Moutinho.

Letting the other person get a feel for it now is better than any training.

Monaco's current head coach, Jardim, feels extremely happy. After losing Subasic, he unexpectedly encountered another top goalkeeper. Looking at so many talented players in the team, he feels like he is the chosen one.

Otherwise, how can you explain that you only spent 100,000 euros to buy such a great goalkeeper?

It's easy to imagine that after this game, this kid will definitely attract the attention of many teams.

Oh no!

He suddenly remembered that Lei Ming's contract was currently the lowest tier in the team, with a buyout clause of only 20,000 euros, which was so low that even he, as the coach, couldn't stand it.

He quickly took out his phone and called the team manager, demanding that the manager send him the most attractive goalkeeper contract immediately after the game.

The team manager also watched the game and was impressed by Lei Ming's outstanding performance. He had been thinking about upgrading his contract, but he was planning to discuss it with the coaching staff after returning home. However, Jardim called directly to urge him and applied for a first-tier salary contract.

The manager hesitated only for a moment before deciding to trust the head coach.

After all, he had already proven himself with his abilities last season.

After Moutinho came on, Monaco's formation immediately changed to a 3-5-2, with Moutinho, Fabinho and Bernardo Silva forming a midfield trio that controlled possession.

Behind them was sweeper Valjoko, with his fierce tackles and precise interceptions. This guy was on fire in the second half, making Tottenham's players tumble and crawl quite a bit.

Even Tottenham were helpless against Monaco's performance; in the final minutes, a shift in mentality threw them into disarray.

Even after the referee blew the final whistle, the Tottenham players couldn't believe it was real.

Just now, they lost to a team they looked down on before the game.

Monaco's victory in this match has propelled them to the top of Group E. If they maintain this form, they will be able to avoid facing a top-tier team in the Round of 1 draw. With a bit of luck, this is practically a free pass for them!
