"My God, it's Professor and Mourinho! I never expected to see these two famous coaches here together. There were rumors that they almost got into a fight on the field. I didn't expect them to be sitting together and chatting happily."

Seeing these two renowned coaches present at the same time, Huang Xiaotian was incredibly excited.

"Oh right, speaking of which, I just remembered. The way those two were arguing before the New Year caused quite a stir. I was wondering at the time, thinking those two old men were really interesting, almost coming to blows over a match!"

"However, from the perspective of a seasoned fan, the situation at the time was really understandable. The professor must have been suppressing his emotions for too long, so he couldn't hold back for a moment. Isn't that a sad thing for a meritorious coach?"

Liu Xin clearly put a lot of effort into this, speaking fluently and eloquently, which drew praise from netizens.

Huang Xiaotian nodded and said, "That's right. This season is going to be tough for the professor. He might retire soon. It's like we'll miss every game we play. My professor, he's really not young anymore."

"Of course, it is a pleasant surprise to see these two famous managers present at the same time. I don't think they are here to scout their opponent Manchester City. After all, they are old rivals and know each other very well. On the contrary, I think they are here to scout players from Monaco. After all, Monaco is known as a black market. As long as the money is right, there is no player they will not sell."

Liu Xin nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, I hope these two famous coaches can also see Lei Ming's brilliance today. Who knows, we might even see him in the Premier League next season!"

Huang Xiaotian: "Hey, what you're saying is actually quite possible! Let's see how De Bruyne handles this ball! Oh, how did he see that opening? De Bruyne's vision is just too wide! It's amazing."

On the pitch, De Bruyne dribbled past Bernardo Silva and Fabinho, who were pressing him, and then delivered a long, penetrating pass to Sterling, who had made a run into space on the other side.

Sterling controlled the ball perfectly, then gently nudged it, and the ball immediately rolled in the direction he controlled.

Monaco center-back Sidibé, seeing that his teammates couldn't keep up, had no choice but to immediately step forward to intercept.

As the last line of defense, he knew the consequences if he couldn't stop the other side.

After seeing Sidibe move forward to block him, Lei Ming abandoned his idea and continued to keep a close eye on the attacking player.

According to the information, this attacker named Stry may have a strange running posture, always sticking his butt out, but his starting speed and 100-meter acceleration are very fast. However, those who know him well know that this guy has a problem: he likes to play fun football, which has made Guardiola slap his head many times. It is said that he almost had a cerebral hemorrhage once!

But no matter how he likes to play, his skill is undeniable, and Lei Ming dares not be careless in the face of this player's attack.

Sidibé's blockade did not completely stop the guy's progress. When he evaded the opponent's center of gravity, he successfully stepped into the penalty area. However, unexpectedly, another accident occurred. The opponent suddenly fell to the ground with a solid fall.

Startled, Sidibé quickly raised her hands to show that she hadn't touched him at all!

Because of the angle, Lei Ming wasn't entirely sure if Sidibe had touched the other person, but it was definitely true that the guy was eating grass.

Meanwhile, in the distance, the referee, who was not able to arrive immediately, blew the whistle for a penalty kick at the opportune moment!

This left both Sidibé and Reming of Monaco completely bewildered.

I never expected that the Champions League referee would be so hasty and immediately award a penalty?

This decision also made Guardiola, who was holding his head in his hands on the sidelines, suddenly brighten up.

His originally sour face quietly turned into a smile.

"Sir, please wait, this shouldn't be a penalty kick, we didn't even touch the other side."

Lei Ming and Sidibe surrounded the referee to protest, but no matter what they said, the referee did not change his decision and even told them to shut up, otherwise he would not mind giving them cards.

On the other side, when the Monaco coach saw the ruling, he couldn't help but throw his bottle of mineral water behind him and then ran to the linesman to protest.

No matter what they said, the referee did not change his decision.

Sterling, who had stood up again, straightened his slightly askew trousers and stood in front of the penalty spot with the ball in his hand.

He was actually a bit confused. His mistake just now almost made him want to bury his face in the grass, but he unexpectedly got a penalty kick from the referee, which was something he never expected.

Is happiness contagious?

Standing at the penalty spot, looking at the Asian goalkeeper who was ready to take the shot, Sterling smirked.

In his sprint, he suddenly changed to small, quick steps, attempting to influence the goalkeeper's judgment, then swung his leg and shot, delivering a powerful kick.

Lei Ming, who was on high alert, stood there dumbfounded, staring at his opponent!

"this!"

"Holy crap, this is outrageous!"

I've seen people who are willful before, but I've never seen anyone this willful!

Sterling's shot from 12 yards went high and wide, drawing boos from the entire stadium.

On the Manchester City coaching staff side, Guardiola, who had just been all smiles, was so angry that he covered his face and didn't know what to say!

"What is Raheem doing? He can't even kick the ball wide in such an important game, I'm speechless!"

The assistant coach didn't know how to answer, so he could only remain silent.

I was thinking to myself, Coach, you know what kind of person this guy is, so why did you let him play?

Sterling is genuinely good, but when he's happy, he can be a real headache.

The referee on the scene was also speechless. He gave you a chance but you couldn't take it. You even missed the penalty kick!

The match was not delayed because of Sterling's antics. After receiving the ball from behind, Lei Ming launched a long ball forward.

With the first half of the match nearing its end and the score still 0-0, Monaco was quite satisfied with the result.

According to Jardim, a draw would be the biggest victory for them, playing away at the Etihad Stadium.

In the first half, the players were clearly following the coach's instructions, and they spent significantly more energy on defense than on offense.

This also made the game on the field look somewhat dull; apart from Sterling's moment, the rest were really not particularly outstanding.
