3:1

This is the result of the match between Bayer Leverkusen and Monaco on December 8th. After four consecutive clean sheets, Monaco's four-game winning streak was finally broken.

It's worth mentioning that Lei Ming's individual defensive stats are still being updated. All three goals were conceded because the third goalkeeper, De Sanctis, was brought on in the second half.

One of the goals was so spectacular that it caused a sensation throughout Ligue 1 and even the world.

It happened in the 85th minute of the match. Monaco's substitute goalkeeper, De Sanctis, received the ball and intended to make a beautiful throw-in, but unexpectedly, his glove and the ball stuck together. After throwing the ball, he realized that it was rolling backward. At that moment, even if he used the fastest speed of his life, he still couldn't save the ball that had rolled into the goal.

The entire Leverkusen team, playing at home, was completely dumbfounded by the goal, and the atmosphere on the sidelines was incredibly awkward!

"This isn't a fixed match; our pharmaceutical company doesn't have the money to hire this goalkeeper as an actor."

When asked by reporters after the match whether there was any suspicion of match-fixing, the head coach of Bayer Leverkusen quickly waved his hand in denial and distanced himself from the issue.

Monaco's head coach, Jardim, maintained a sullen expression throughout and rarely gave more than two sentences in response.

There's really nothing to say. He originally planned to use this match to give his players some experience. Winning or losing wasn't really important. Most of the players on the field were substitutes. He just didn't expect De Sanctis to pull this stunt on him.

They were deliberately trying to make him suffer.

So what if we lose? Can't we at least be a little more dignified?

Is it fair for the whole team to take the blame for one person's mistake?

Throughout the match, what pleased him the most was Mbappe, who only came on as a substitute in the last ten minutes but managed to score a goal through his individual ability, which was what made him most gratified.

Ray's performance remained solid, which pleased him greatly; he was far better than De Sanctis.

After the team assembled, they took a bus directly to the airport to return home overnight. Although they lost the game, everyone on the bus was obviously in a good mood, especially Mbappe, who was wearing headphones and listening to music. You couldn't tell that he was a heartbroken young man just a few days ago.

Lei Ming suddenly took off his headphones and asked, "Hey! I think you were saying something when you scored, and I've seen you say the same thing during practice lately. Can you tell me what you were saying?!"

"Uh, no! Brother Lei, you must have misheard me!"

When Mbappe heard Lei Ming ask about it, he immediately shook his head in denial.

He did say, "Shoot you handsome guys to death! Shoot you all to pieces!"

It just so happens that Bayer Leverkusen's goalkeeper is also a pretty boy, and when Mbappe came on the field and saw the opponent, he was reminded of Rego's handsome face and his girlfriend's betrayal, and he instantly felt empowered!

The goal was nothing more than a result of his revenge!

However, I can't say this. With Lei's size, he'd get beaten up if I told anyone.

"Okay, good job today, keep it up! It really is more reliable to ban women!"

Seeing that the other party's eyes were evasive, Lei Ming did not continue to ask questions. After putting the headphones back on him, he began to review the battle with the pharmaceutical company in his mind.

Because the teams didn't care about the game, the atmosphere between the two sides was as friendly as a friendly match, which meant that I never had a chance to use my negotiation skills.

The increase in controlling emotions was only two points, which is negligible.

It's worth noting that he suddenly felt his ability to sense goals had become stronger, which made him feel very relaxed in the first half.

As my body gets stronger day by day through training, I have made great progress in both jumping ability and acceleration. Now, I can relax a bit in these areas and it's time to practice my long passes.

As Coach Pavón has said every time he shows him footage of top goalkeepers, long passes are essential for effective counter-attacks, and a goalkeeper with precise long passes can be as valuable as two top midfielders.

The following day, at the training ground, Lei Ming asked Moutinho to be his mentor and they practiced long passes together.

As a defensive midfielder, Moutinho possesses excellent passing ability and outstanding overall vision, making him an indispensable midfield general for Portugal.

Seeing that his younger brother Lei Ming wanted to learn long passing skills, he was not stingy and began to teach him some key points about passing.

As the saying goes, the master leads you through the door, but the practice is up to you.

After receiving instruction from Moutinho, Lei Ming practiced every day without interruption, and his long passing ability gradually improved. He also became more adept at handling special situations involving certain balls.

On the sidelines of the training field, the team's head coach, Jardim, squinted at the goalkeeper who was still training diligently, his eyes full of smiles.

He has been riding high lately, with his team enjoying a run of success and winning six consecutive matches across all competitions. Compared to his previous inconsistent performances, his recent form has been much better.

And all of this only got better because of Ray's appearance.

It must be admitted that Ray's abilities are outstanding.

His exceptional awareness, coupled with his almost superhuman reflexes, has caused many outstanding strikers to suffer against him. And this is not his limit. According to Pavin, Ray still has a lot of room for improvement. Given enough time to grow, he may surpass many great goalkeepers in the future.

Listen to what Pavón is saying—it's such a fantastical story, yet he actually believed it.

It's because this player is not only excellent, but also hardworking. The football world has never lacked geniuses; what it lacks are geniuses who can persevere.

Even the greatest genius cannot resist the temptations of a materialistic society. He had seen many examples of this. Fortunately, Ray was doing very well so far, and he hoped that Ray would continue to improve.

"Hey Leonardo, isn't my performance enough to impress you? When are you going to announce that you're handing over the number one jersey to him?"

Just as Jardim was engrossed in watching, goalkeeping coach Pavin put his arm around his shoulder and said something.

Paven had brought this up more than once, especially recently, almost every day, but he still seemed somewhat hesitant.

Subasic is set to return to the court in just one month, and stripping the other player of his number at this point would undoubtedly cause a lot of conflict, which is not the outcome he wants.

However, Pavin was very dissatisfied that Ray was always wearing number 99. Although the two had only been together for a month, Ray was now his most precious disciple, and he wanted to give him the best. The goalkeeper position only had number one.

Ray is worth having.
