Even he himself did not expect that the team would take the lead so quickly, catching Bordeaux completely off guard.

The players in the frontcourt celebrated with each other, and the brothers in the backcourt also hugged each other, with Lei Ming sandwiched in the middle.

Vice-captain Glick laughed and patted Jermelson on the head, saying happily, "You're pretty good, kid. You even managed to get an indirect assist."

Remerson said sheepishly, "Hehe, thanks to Ray's reminder!"

As the celebrations ended, everyone returned to their places, and the Monaco players felt even more confident about winning the match.

After all, there is a natural difference between taking the lead by one goal and drawing 0-0, not to mention that their team now has a goalkeeper named Lei who is known as a god of goal.

From initial distrust to now being somewhat inseparable from Leiming, all in less than a month.

This change is entirely due to Lei Ming's abnormal defensive ability.

In every training match, unless the ball is particularly difficult, you can't escape his saves or blocks. In short, it's really hard to score against him.

This has caused quite a bit of complaints from the team's substitute forwards. After all, if you don't give them goals, how can you showcase their abilities? They'll never make it into the starting lineup.

Therefore, although Lei Ming doesn't have much social life, he is actually quite popular within the team.

The reminder just now was actually an ability that Lei Ming had only recently mastered. Now, his sensing ability is no longer limited to the opposing goalkeeper; he often senses other people as well.

During this period, he also summarized some patterns in the occurrence of this kind of feeling, which is that this feeling will appear if a situation becomes unfavorable to him.

The same applies to the previous goal. If Jemmerson hadn't been in that position, it would have been an undefended area, giving the opponent a chance to face the goal alone.

With so many players in the penalty area, even if the opponent takes a random shot, the scoring rate is over 80%, which leads to the need for a reaction warning.

This pattern was something he had observed and summarized from the training matches he had played during this period, which is why he called for backup earlier.

Taking the lead from the start, Lei Ming felt that apart from not having the advantage of playing at home, Monaco had two other advantages: timing and support.

Once they got into a good position, Monaco's players were much more confident than their opponents, and the outstanding performance of veteran captain Falcao made it clear to everyone that as long as they continued to play like this, victory was not far away.

Falcao has truly awakened this season, with his form getting better and better. In the sixteen rounds of the league, he has already scored as many as 12 goals, averaging 0.8 goals per game, which puts him third in the league's top scorers list. His current goal tally is only a small gap away from the first and second place.

The first place goes to Edinson Cavani of Paris Saint-Germain with 16 goals, while the second place goes to Alexandre Lacazette of Lyon with 15 goals.

If we put in the effort, we might actually be able to surpass them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's take a look at the replay of this goal. Bordeaux attacked, crossed from the byline to the far post, then Monaco's defender passed the ball to Bernardo Silva, who then made an imaginative pass that found Tiger Woods, who finished the attack with a single tap-in."

"The whole process can be described as smooth. It is clear that Monaco has definitely practiced this defensive counter-attacking strategy."

"Come on, let's see what Lei Ming is doing right now?"

In the CCTV footage, Huang Xiaotian paused the shot, and it was clearly visible that Lei Ming in front of the goal was shouting instructions to his teammates, and the person he was pointing to was none other than Jemerson, the absolute hero who caused this goal.

Although he couldn't hear what Lei Ming was saying on screen, it didn't affect Huang Xiaotian's deduction at all. He smiled and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, is it possible that when the opposing winger was about to shoot, our Lei Ming already sensed that the ball was going to be passed to the far post? Judging from the position where he pointed it out, it seems that's the case."

"My God, if that's the case, then I have to praise Lei Ming's awesomeness. Although he didn't touch the goal, he seems to have been an absolute participant!"

Huang Xiaotian was also amazed by his own bold conjecture. Although it seemed a bit exaggerated, the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. After all, with Lei Ming's abnormal reaction ability, he really might have figured out the opponent's winger's thoughts.

Huang Xiaotian's reminder instantly sparked a flurry of comments in the live stream.

"Holy crap, Brother Lei is awesome! So he was the real mastermind behind everything!"

"Is this what they call strategizing and winning battles from afar?"

"Watching Lei Ge play football is so much fun! Coach Huang, if you can talk, say more!"

"Old Huang's words seem far-fetched, but they actually make a damn good point!"

The staff of CCTV Sports Channel watched with delight as netizens showed great enthusiasm. According to backend data, the number of viewers even surpassed that of the drama channel during the same time slot, which was truly an incredible figure.

This kind of grand occasion hasn't been seen for many years!

However, recently, whenever they broadcast a Ligue 1 match involving Monaco, countless lurking fans immediately flock to the live stream to watch. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have known that there were so many fans in China.

"It's not that China doesn't have fans, but that the light has never shone on Chinese fans."

This scene perfectly illustrates the saying.

Lei Ming's appearance undoubtedly awakened many fans who once loved football.

At the Stade de Chabanne, the match between Bordeaux and Monaco continues. Since falling behind by one goal, Bordeaux's players have become much more cautious, resulting in a stalemate on the field. Nevertheless, they have managed to create three scoring opportunities during this period.

Two long-range shots and one corner kick—it's a pity that even though all three shots hit the woodwork, they still couldn't escape the clutches of the opposing goalkeeper.

Bordeaux's striker was very frustrated by this.

Putting aside the two long-range shots, which weren't very powerful, Menez felt that his header was also saved by the opposing goalkeeper, which was just absurd.

When he headed the ball, he saw that the opponent was still standing a little ahead on the right, so he headed a very high-quality shot into the far left corner. But unexpectedly, the opponent still managed to knock the ball away.

He's been a striker for so long and he's never seen such a tough goalkeeper. Damn, where did Monaco get such a monster from?!
