"As Xiao Leiming and his friends grew up day by day, their bodies gradually entered puberty. He gradually became taller and stronger because of exercise. Gradually, those who used to bully him at school no longer dared to cause him any trouble."
"He caught the attention of a scout during a school football match because of his outstanding height and ball control, which led him to join a youth training team and gradually embark on his path to becoming a player."
"At the beginning, he always played as a striker and achieved good results. Later, he successfully entered the Feirense youth team. The director of the orphanage was proud of him."
"Later, as Lei Ming grew taller and taller, his clumsy body and skills could not keep up with his growth, so he tried to become a goalkeeper."
"Unexpectedly, this trial turned him into the 20-year-old Monaco number 99, Jonas Reming."
"Objectively speaking, I admire this young man. It's already quite remarkable that he was able to grow up in an environment where everyone disliked him. His current achievements are definitely the result of his hard work. That's why I had the urge to curse some people in the live stream just now."
Inside the live stream, the older man, Huang Xiaotian, suddenly had red eyes and spoke with a choked voice.
As he recounted Lei Ming's past, he couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed.
I felt sympathy, relief, and admiration.
"It hasn't been easy for him. He's worked harder than anyone else here. So I'm saying, please don't hurt him. Let him soar on the green field!"
Huang Xiaotian loves football very much, otherwise he wouldn't have become a commentator, a job he's held for over ten years. There's nothing else to it but his passion.
The lack of promising young football talents in China over the years has left many people utterly disappointed.
Now that he sees a Chinese person with the same Chinese ancestry appearing on the European international stage, how could he not be happy?
Even though the other person is of Chinese descent, that doesn't stop him from liking her.
Watching him play is a real treat.
Who says the descendants of Yan and Huang can't play football? Lei Ming is the best proof. What's wrong with goalkeepers? A good goalkeeper is worth half a football team!
He simply hopes that more people can do what he does: cherish each other's growth, appreciate each other's achievements, and enjoy the process together!
............
On the same day, Lei Ming accepted an exclusive interview with someone who claimed to be a reporter from CCTV in China.
This is a young lady with a pretty face and figure. She also has a sweet voice. Although her French is not very fluent, it is quite standard. At least she has no problem communicating with anyone here.
The Monaco club was delighted to see Chinese reporters interviewing Lei Ming, which meant they were getting closer to opening up that huge Chinese market.
In the interview room, Lei Ming interrupted Su Yue's somewhat convoluted French with a smile, saying, "Ms. Su, we can actually communicate in Mandarin. I can understand you."
Lei Ming's sudden move caught Su Yue and her assistant off guard. Both of them stared wide-eyed at Lei Ming with disbelief and asked with surprise, "Lei Ming, you can understand Mandarin? And you can speak it so fluently?"
Lei Ming shrugged and said, "Of course, I have the same blood as you, and this is my mother tongue."
Perhaps he didn't speak Mandarin before, but he does now, because he was a true descendant of the Yellow Emperor in the previous world.
Su Yue and her assistant Li Liang exchanged a glance and both broke into bright smiles.
Lei Ming welcomed them warmly, which made the two of them feel incredibly flattered!
Before they arrived, the two of them were quite nervous, since the other person was of Chinese descent and had lived in Portugal since childhood, so they probably didn't know anything about China.
The two had considered countless possibilities for meeting him—sometimes being ignored, sometimes rejected, sometimes driven away, sometimes even mocked—but they never expected that he would greet them in such fluent and standard Mandarin.
"That's wonderful! Well, firstly, the first question that netizens are very curious about is, Mr. Lei Ming, you seem to have suddenly appeared in front of everyone with astonishing results. Have you been hiding your strength all along?"
"Hehe, no, I never intended to hide my strength. Actually, I just didn't have the opportunity before. Luckily, I seized this opportunity and became famous overnight."
This issue isn't just among Chinese netizens; it's also been raised in Europe. This isn't the first time Lei Ming has offered this explanation.
In his opinion, this was perfectly reasonable.
Su Yue smiled gently after hearing this, her bright smile featuring shallow dimples that made her look quite adorable.
Li Liang also smiled as he carefully recorded every conversation between Lei Ming and Su Yue. He knew very well that this was also an opportunity for himself and Su Yue.
Opportunities are those you can seize; those you can't are simply wasted.
The three of them had a pleasant chat, and the conversation mainly revolved around his upbringing and whether he was happy there. However, a question Su Yue asked at the end made him hesitate for a long time.
"So, Mr. Lei Ming, have you considered naturalizing and serving your country?"
This is a topic that many Chinese players cannot avoid, and it is also a very heavy issue.
The main problem is that the Chinese national team in this world is similar to his previous life; they are like a sea cucumber team, good at fighting among themselves, but their legs go weak when they play against other countries. Even for a group stage qualification in Asia, they need to carefully calculate the points to see if they have any hope of advancing.
