"Ray, come work for us next season. If we work together, it will definitely be a wonderful start."

After the game, even though Lei Ming's jersey had been snatched away by someone else, Cavani still went up to him, put his arm around the other person's shoulder, and said with a smile.

Cavani was not surprised at all that Monaco would choose to give up the cup competition, because this is just a choice that a small team has to face. You may think you can have your cake and eat it too, but you also have to see if you have the ability. Otherwise, you might end up losing both the fish and the bear's paw, and you might be ridiculed by the fans for the whole season.

Ultimately, it's because Monaco is too small. If PSG were in their position, their goal would definitely be the treble, and they would have to fight hard for almost every title.

It's a real shame that they can only use the French Cup as a fig leaf this season.

Although they haven't won the title yet, Cavani doesn't believe that any team in the domestic league besides Monaco can rival them.

He genuinely didn't want the goalkeeper he admired to be buried in Monaco. Talented players like Lei Ming should be able to showcase their talents in a big team like theirs, which is the main reason why good players all want to go to top clubs.

Football is not an individual sport; it is always a team sport. Only when your teammates are good enough can you become the strongest.

"Sister Ka, don't be so sentimental. Actually, I'm a scumbag."

In response to Cavani's invitation, Lei Ming simply smiled and didn't say anything more.

This is not a problem he can decide right now. After all, he has already signed a five-year contract with Monaco. If they don't release him, he will have no choice but to continue playing here.

"Hehe, you should think it over carefully. I've heard that the higher-ups at our club are very interested in you and your teammates."

Cavani finished speaking, gave the other party a high-five, and then returned to the Paris Saint-Germain camp.

Yaldin wasn't as calm inside as he appeared. Seeing Lei Ming walk off the field looking dejected, he went over to comfort him and said, "Lei, don't be like this. We have more important goals to achieve. You still performed very well today."

Without Lei Ming, they wouldn't have conceded only two goals. Jardim was moved by Lei Ming's relentless effort on the field.

He understood the players' thoughts perfectly. With the championship within reach, who wouldn't want it? Even if it was just a small cup competition, it would still be an honor for them.

But he had no choice. The team really couldn't afford any more accidents. As the leader, he had to do this, and it was necessary for him to do this. The league championship was far more valuable than any small cup competition. It was crucial for him, the players, and the club.

As for the Champions League semi-final at the beginning of next month, he doesn't have high hopes, because he knows very well that the team has already done a very, very difficult job to get here. Facing the strong and well-equipped Juventus, he doesn't have any good solutions. The team can only continue to play defensively and counter-attackingly.

"I understand, coach. Don't worry about me. I just don't like the feeling of losing. Just let me have some peace and quiet."

Lei Ming remained calm in the face of the head coach's words of comfort. Although he was very unhappy, he did not show it.

The adult world is always so helpless; not everything will always go your way, and he knew this all too well.

After returning to the locker room with his teammates, everyone was in a low mood.

Lei Ming, while feeling helpless, also gained a deeper understanding of the players over time.

Take Cavani, for example. In previous encounters, they had never seen how good his headers were, but today, he scored with a perfectly timed header.

After he reopened his accumulated experience this time, it was clear that Cavani had changed in terms of heading, speed, and stamina.

It's like a game update. Originally, if players didn't meet, the players would remain at the same level as before they were acquired. Once they met again, the game would update again.

He gained a completely new understanding of this situation.

This defeat might be something to reminisce about, but time doesn't allow them to dwell on it. The very next day, Monaco hosted Toulouse in the 35th round of the league.

Toulouse is currently ranked 11th, a team that's neither high nor low. In this match, they didn't fight Monaco with the same intensity as other relegation-threatened teams. Although the game was back and forth, the match was relatively peaceful.

Ultimately, Monaco proved to be the stronger team and won 3-0.

In this match, Monaco's attack was fairly evenly distributed, with Falcao, Mbappe, and Bernardo Silva all scoring, perfectly showcasing Monaco's attacking system in the frontcourt.

Meanwhile, Toulouse failed to make much of a splash on the defensive end, with almost all of their key plays being contained by the defense led by Reming.

After the previous defeat, Lei Ming learned from his mistakes and began to more actively direct his teammates to maintain their defensive positions.

Under his command, Monaco's entire defensive system has improved significantly, effectively making up for the absence of Jeremiah Ghemerson.

Meanwhile, Nice, who are second in the league, also faced their crucial match. Before this game, they had been closely trailing Monaco by three points, just waiting for the opponent to make a mistake so that they could overtake them.

However, Monaco has unexpectedly shown great resilience despite frequently competing on three fronts, remaining unbeaten with four rounds left in the league, which is quite remarkable.

The opportunities left for them are becoming fewer and fewer.

In this round, they will face a major obstacle, Paris Saint-Germain, which is definitely not a pleasant prospect.

Fortunately, Nice withstood the pressure and ultimately defeated their opponent 3-2.

Just looking at the score, you can tell it was a very exciting attacking battle. But you would never have guessed that PSG would lose two key players in this match. Motta and Di Maria both received red cards, which angered PSG fans.

Of course, Nice's match was not easy either. Three players received yellow cards, which will have a significant impact on their upcoming games.

But no matter what, they pulled through. Now, we'll see if Monaco makes any mistakes in the next two matches.
