"Holy crap, that disgusting Clichy actually started today. As soon as I saw him, I knew what Guardiola was up to."

"Absolutely! It's obvious they saw it worked in the last game and want to use it again in this one. Guardiola really understands the rules of football!"

"You know, Guardiola really pays attention to corner kick tactics; he's used this trick a lot!"

"Hopefully the referee will be fair in this match! Otherwise, Lei Ming will really suffer."

"If Lei Ming had a slightly more volatile temper, he would have definitely kicked that coward Krish to pieces, damn it!"

Listening to the crowd discussing the players on site, although it was noisy, Wang Yibo didn't find it annoying at all; on the contrary, he found it quite interesting.

I took a sip of wine, ate some snacks and barbecue skewers, and watched the game. This feeling was completely different from being alone with my laptop.

From the conversations of the crowd, he could basically tell that almost everyone here was a fan of Monaco, and that everyone was supporting Monaco to win the game.

The reason is simply because of the presence of thunder.

At this moment, a graceful figure appeared beside Wang Yibo and asked curiously.

"Hey, Yibo, you haven't gone back yet? What's going on here?"

"Oh, Sister Xiaoyun, you're just watching the game with everyone since you have nothing else to do! Have you finished filming your scenes?"

"Hmm, that's it. I was just about to go back. Watching the game? Is it that exciting?" Xiaoyun looked at everyone with some curiosity.

When the others saw Sister Xiaoyun arrive, they greeted her, "Sister Xiaoyun, come sit down and watch the game! Today's match is so exciting, it's really good!"

"Hehe, no, no, you guys see. I'll have someone send you some more food later. See you tomorrow! Yibo, I'm off now."

The two played siblings in the drama, so they naturally had a good relationship. She was curious why her younger brother, who didn't usually like crowds, would be in a crowd. Unexpectedly, he also liked watching football matches.

After leaving the lobby, Xiaoyun kept her promise and had her assistant order about two thousand yuan worth of barbecue skewers and snacks for everyone, which drew endless praise from the men in the lobby.

No wonder everyone loves Sister Xiaoyun! With her beauty, sweet voice, and forthright personality, who wouldn't like her? The men were cheering and praising her without reservation.

After returning to the hotel, Chen Xiaoyun, having nothing to do, checked the trending topics on social media. Since the filming of this drama was about to wrap up, there was quite a lot of news about her. Reading the comments from netizens about her before going to bed was quite interesting.

But as I looked around, I suddenly realized that there wasn't much entertainment news in today's top headlines. The number one spot was even occupied by a sports news item. This wasn't bought; it was clearly the result of official promotion.

1. "The Light of Asia: Lei Ming Says No to Manchester City's Top Strikers"

2. Monaco vs. Manchester City: A Classic Match?

3. *Fox Spirit Matchmaker: The Stunning Fox Spirit Da Mimi*

"My goodness, who is this person? He's so popular! Wasn't this the same person who Yibo was watching at the game just now?"

Out of curiosity, Xiaoyun also clicked on the live stream link. As soon as she opened it, she heard the live stream host excitedly shout:

"My God, what an incredible save! Lei Ming is amazing! Three consecutive saves in front of the goal left all the Manchester City strikers speechless. Hahaha, amazing, truly amazing."

"Look, Monaco's quick counter-attack! The ball is in Moutinho's hands, and Monaco's two swords are rapidly approaching Manchester City's goal. It's now a two-on-one situation, and Fernandinho alone can't stop Mbappe and Falcao's fast attack."

"Mbappe passes the ball, Falcao goes one-on-one, ohooooooooooooooo!"

"Goal! 1-0! Manchester City's situation is now precarious. Including the aggregate score from the last game, they are now down by two goals."

"Being down by two goals and facing a team that adopts a defensive counter-attacking strategy, it remains to be seen how Guardiola will cope with this situation!"

On the television screen, the players celebrated wildly after scoring a goal, and the fans in the stadium sang and danced, creating a lively atmosphere. At the same time, Chen Xiaoyun saw Lei Ming, whom the host had mentioned earlier, on the camera again.

Surprisingly, he's quite handsome.

Chen Xiaoyun was originally an athlete, but was forced to leave the national team because of her overly developed physique. However, because of her good looks, she easily transitioned into an actress.

So when she looks at boys, she always likes those who are dashing and tall, and clearly, Lei Ming in the picture at this moment is someone Chen Xiaoyun likes very much.

Because she enjoyed it, she watched the following matches with great interest.

.........

"Damn it, Monaco is getting more and more difficult to deal with!"

Seeing that the opponent had scored another goal, Guardiola scratched his head in frustration.

In this match, although he arranged for Clichy to come on at the beginning to provide necessary interference and psychological pressure on the Monaco goalkeeper, the result was minimal. The opponent seemed to be prepared and kept making things difficult for Clichy.

The game restarted, and Manchester City continued to control possession.

Despite this, they became even more impatient.

Just like in their last encounter, more than thirty minutes into the game, Monaco still completely relinquished possession to Manchester City, seemingly unconcerned about possession percentages.

This made Manchester City's attack appear flashy, but they still failed to score.

De Bruyne received the ball, glanced at the dense crowd in the opponent's attacking third, attracted the defense of two players, and then passed it to D. Silva, who was not far away.

After passing the ball around twice, D. Seidon gave it to him again.

Unfortunately, Monaco's players simply wouldn't come up, heavily guarding the space in front of the penalty area, which left De Bruyne feeling quite helpless.

At this moment, he felt that continuing to play a passing and possession style would be very difficult, so he had to change his approach.

As Manchester City's core midfielder, he has the right and obligation to make tactical changes. Seeing that Monaco's central defense was struggling to break through, he simply passed the ball to Sterling on the wing, hoping that he could use his own advantages to create space.

Guardiola, seeing De Bruyne's decision from the sidelines, did not stop him. On the contrary, he was very satisfied with his disciple's change. To become a top midfielder, it is not enough to just pass the ball; one must also know how to control the rhythm of the game.

Clearly, De Bruyne is doing very well at this point, and it's no wonder that he's increasingly valuing the Belgian player. Given time, he will definitely become Manchester City's midfield maestro.
