All I can say is that Bernardo Silva is a very creative player; his second shot alone pierced the opponent's goal, which shows his individual ability.

He can hold the ball, dribble past opponents, has a good overall view of the game, accurate long passing ability, and a decent long-range shot. With such excellent all-around qualities, Jardim feels that his time with Bernardo Silva is running out.

In his attacking system, not only the forwards have the right to shoot, but the midfielders do too. The midfielders fill the gaps that the forwards can't create.

Bernardo Silva, Fabinho, Moutinho, and Lemar all possess a decent long-range shot, which is also their most important scoring method in the first half of the season.

Of course, although the goal may seem to have nothing to do with the goalkeeper, Jardim cannot ignore Regan's playmaking. Without his throw, there would have been no such brilliant goal.

In conclusion, Ray's performance deserves at least a 5 out of 10 for that goal.

Bernardo Silva's goal drew enthusiastic cheers from the few fans who had come to support the team.

No one expected that Marseille, who seemed to be in control of the home field and had a higher possession rate, would actually score the first goal themselves. The brilliance of that goal made everyone feel that the trip was worthwhile.

After celebrating with Fabinho, Bernardo Silva ran back to the field and gave Remlin a big hug, a gesture that instantly reminded fans of how the goal came about.

Lei Ming was somewhat touched by Bernardo Silva's gesture, because as a forward, he didn't need to expend his energy to celebrate with him. Instead, he did it to highlight his contribution to the goal and let more people see him.

This was an unseen assist from an older brother.

Moutinho, standing on the sidelines, saw this scene, his eyes glistening with tears, and a happy smile spreading across his face.

Unity is an easy word to say, but it's really hard to achieve. Looking at Bernard's unintentional actions, he was happy both on his face and in his heart.

As one of the first to discover Thunder's abilities, he naturally hoped to bring the little guy into the national team. Seeing that Bernardo Silva was also taking good care of him, he was very happy.

With the World Cup just around the corner, their time is running out. If they miss this year, they don't know if these veteran players will have another chance to play. How many more World Cups will they be able to step onto the pitch in their short football careers?

Because being a football player is full of surprises and unpredictability.

Moutinho hopes that Lei Ming can grow up quickly and become the pillar of the Portuguese national team, like the likes of Cech from Italy, Casillas from Spain, and Neuer from Germany.

They believed they had done well enough in attack, led by Ronaldo, but the lack of a good goalkeeper often left them heartbroken on the World Cup stage.

If they also had door gods, they would definitely have more than just that.

They can do even better and go even further!

And Rey is the hope that Moutinho sees now.

Despite facing Ronaldo's doubts, he firmly told him, "I have a feeling that you are on the same level."

Therefore, he would never care about saving face as long as he could help the other party, and he would be the first to stand up for them if anyone dared to bully him.

Although the players seem to have a good relationship on the surface, their competitive relationship makes it impossible for them to maintain the same level of unity. Minor clashes are inevitable. Fortunately, Ray handles interpersonal relationships better than he expected.

This is also the main reason why he strongly recommended Re to Ronaldo before – Re is absolutely a person of impeccable character.

The game restarted, and Marseille, trailing by one goal, clearly lost the patience they had shown earlier, and their passing became more aggressive.

"Dear viewers, welcome back to the Ligue 1 match between Marseille and Monaco, broadcast by CCTV Sports. We are very fortunate to have Mr. Zhang, a commentator from Serie A, to provide guidance for this match. Let's give him a round of applause."

In the live broadcast room on the mainland, Huang Xiaotian led the way in welcoming Coach Zhang, and Coach Zhang also waved to everyone in a friendly manner to express his gratitude.

"At the start of the match, although Marseille's players tried their best to control the tempo, we could see that Monaco didn't seem to agree. Coach Zhang, you are an expert in this area, what are your thoughts on this?"

Zhang Lu chuckled and said, "Hehe, I knew you would ask this, but it's okay. Before the match, I actually did some research on the tactics of the two French Ligue 1 teams and discovered something particularly interesting."

"Oh, what kind of thing could make Coach Zhang find it interesting?" Huang Xiaotian chimed in at the right moment, starting the conversation.

Zhang Lu laughed and said, "That means our Chinese player is a real genius. Even if Monaco doesn't have any tactics in this game, I'll still bet on them to win! Luckily you reminded me, otherwise I really wouldn't have known that we Asians could have such a good player."

"Uh! Coach Zhang, we don't get rich through the lottery, so why do you say that?"

Despite Huang Xiaotian's statement, he had actually bought 50,000 yuan worth of lottery tickets for Monaco's single-bet victory yesterday. Although Monaco's odds were only 1.23 at the moment, based on his understanding of Lei Ming, he believed that the game would most likely end in a shutout. In addition, given Monaco's impressive attacking prowess, winning the game should not be a problem.

"Of course it goes without saying. Even a blind man could see that the goal just now had a lot to do with Lei Ming."

Huang Xiaotian continued:

"That's right, in the 18th minute of the match, Monaco's Bernardo Silva opened the scoring for his team with an imaginative long-range shot that blasted open the opponent's goal. In this goal, we were also pleased to see that Bernardo Silva did not forget the hero and gave Reming a big hug in the backfield."

Zhang Lu said, "Based on my previous observations of Monaco's matches, they have undergone significant changes this season, with two major changes."

"Oh, which two points?" Huang Xiaotian asked doubtfully.

"We saw that although Monaco faced a counterattack from Marseille after the game restarted, it was clear that Monaco had made significant changes in defense and the players' off-the-ball movement this season. Monaco's head coach, Jardim, is no ordinary player; he's truly talented."
