After the start of the second half, Lei Ming looked at the Marseille players in front of him with some surprise.

It was quite amazing that the players' emotions had become much more stable during just one halftime break. However, to his utter surprise, the opposing coach, Michel, substituted that powder keg striker.

This made Lei Ming feel like his plan had failed.

I didn't expect this old guy to be so cautious. There were still 45 minutes left in the second half, and he didn't even give Thauvin a chance. Thauvin, Thauvin, you really are disappointing. You can't even seize the opportunity when you're given it. You deserve to be on the bench.

After the break, Marseille's situation improved significantly. Shortly after the start of the game, the opposing team won a penalty kick in their own penalty area.

In the 50th minute of the match, the opposing team's young striker, who had just come on, was clearly full of energy and almost completely outpaced Glik in terms of speed. Seeing that the opponent had reached the edge of the penalty area, the tough Glik, perhaps feeling a bit humiliated by being completely outmatched, impulsively tried to intercept him as he entered the penalty area.

However, the young player was also clever. He took a long kick and fell down in the penalty area, even rolling several times in an exaggerated manner.

Lei Ming, who was not far away, rolled his eyes at the young player with disdain!

He even ran over to see how fake the other person was.

"Hey buddy, are you a drama school graduate? Is it really worth it for a penalty kick? Don't you know my nickname?"

Alexandre: "???"

Alexandre, who was wailing and clutching his head, paused for a moment, clearly thinking about the other person's nickname.

However, even after thinking for a long time, the actor Alexander couldn't recall that the head coach had ever mentioned the opposing goalkeeper's nickname.

"Hehe, since you don't know either, I'll mercifully tell you. My nickname is 'Penalty Kick Terminator.' No matter who you are, it's useless against me, not even Romero!"

Alexandre: "......."

Alexandr, clutching his head, couldn't help but roll over again, indicating that he was feeling very uncomfortable!

Damn, you're really good at bragging. Romeo and Romeo, huh? You'll feel the pressure from me, the Great Sander, first! I'll shoot you dead!

"Huh, you're not saying anything? Looks like you acknowledge my abilities. You have good judgment!"

"Hey, wait a minute, referee, I'm a witness..."

When the referee saw Glik's vicious tackle, he was about to show a card. Seeing that the opponent was about to show a card, the Monaco players were not willing to accept it. Without Glik, their defense would immediately have a gap.

Glik's importance to their defense is self-evident; Monaco without him is incomplete.

However, despite the pressure from the group, the tough referee stated that he was not easily intimidated, that he was professional and fair, and that he would never favor either side.

He simply couldn't stand seeing such a high-scoring game happen right under his nose!

Just when everyone's pressure was having no effect, Lei Ming's appearance once again stunned his teammates.

"No, no, no, professional referee, I saw it very clearly because I was close by. Glick's foul was perfectly standard and completely unconventional. Although his expression was fierce, his movements were gentle and he didn't touch the opponent's leg at all. You can award a penalty, but please don't pull out a card. Also, please review the replay."

For some reason, as soon as Lei Ming appeared, the referee, who had just been very tough, immediately changed his attitude and became less tough.

"Is my negotiation skill really that powerful? I'll have to memorize it a thousand times every day!" Lei Ming thought to himself, secretly pleased.

Well!

Could it be true?

From this angle, it does seem to be clearer. I need to take a look. Since they're willing to take the penalty, that's fine. I've done what I could to help!

After considering the situation, the referee went to the sidelines and reviewed the replay with the linesman. They discovered that it was exactly as the Monaco goalkeeper had said: the opponent had not touched his leg!

He could clearly see that the two of them had only brushed against each other with their leg hairs!

Damn it, is this Marseille striker some kind of movie star?! He almost caused a serious mistake.

He felt like he had been fooled.

However, since he had already made the move to take out his cards, he had no choice but to go along with it.

Back on the pitch, they signaled Marseille to be in the penalty area and awarded a penalty, but didn't pull out a card; let Marseille do whatever they want!

On the sidelines, Marseille's substitutes and coaching staff secretly cheered when they saw the fair referee award a penalty; it was practically a foregone conclusion.

If they can score this goal, it's not impossible for them to equalize the score in the remaining time!

Suddenly, Michelle was stunned when she tried to see her opponent's interesting expression.

Seeing the opposing coaching staff and players embracing each other, he felt like Monaco was the one taking the penalty kick.

What's the meaning of you jumping and laughing like that?

This amusing scene was naturally captured by the live broadcast, prompting a round of吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or witty remarks) from the host.

"Haha, everyone look at the two head coaches' side! How happy the Monaco coaching staff are! Why do I feel like the other team is the one who got the penalty kick?"

"Look at the dumbfounded expression on Marseille coach Michel's face, it's hilarious, hahaha!"
