Chapter 23 Always Works



"Welcome to CCTV Sports Channel, viewers. I am your old friend Huang Xiaotian."

"I took a look, and our netizens are still very enthusiastic. Many people are waiting in front of the TV early."

"Yes, it's not just you who are looking forward to it, I am too. Every time I wait for Monaco's Ligue 1 match, I can't wait to play!"

"Today's match will not be easy for Monaco, as they are facing Bordeaux, who are currently fifth in the league."

"Unlike the turbulent Monaco, although Bordeaux has not received much support this year, their squad is very stable. Since head coach Joselin Govanovic took over last year, Bordeaux's performance has become more and more stable, and they have great potential in the current league."

At this moment, the camera on TV focused on Monaco's manager, and it could be seen from the footage that his expression was not very volatile, remaining calm.

"Of course, Monaco's coach has probably found a way to deal with the tough Bordeaux team."

"Both teams are using a 4-4-2 formation today. Now let's take a look at the starting lineups for both teams."

"On the Bordeaux side, head coach Govinic's arrangements are:"

Goalkeeper: Jerome

The four defenders: Contento, Palova, Celtic, Sabaly

Midfielders: Adam Unas, Plasil, Toulalan, Marco

Forwards: Labod, Menez

Monaco coach Jardim fielded the following lineup:

Goalkeeper: Lei Ming

The four defenders: Szedibi, Glik, Gemerson, Mendy

Midfielders: Bernardo Silva (B. Silva), Fabinho, Bakayoko, Thomas Lima

Forwards: Gilman, Falcao

"Ah, we see that Lei Ming's jersey number has changed today. He's actually wearing the iconic number 1 jersey."

"This jersey was previously worn by the first-choice goalkeeper Subasic, but now it's on Lei Ming. This shows how much Monaco values ​​Lei Ming."

During the live broadcast, host Huang Xiaotian was quite excited when he saw Lei Ming wearing the number one jersey after he came on the field. This shows that Lei Ming is now the undisputed starting goalkeeper, and even if Subasic recovers from his injury, he may not be able to shake his current position.

He exclaimed happily, "Hahaha, I think Monaco's head coach Jardim is a very insightful coach. Judging from Lei Ming's current performance, wearing the number one jersey doesn't feel out of place at all, hahahahaha!"

As he said, Reming is now highly valued by Monaco's management. After all, anyone who isn't blind, even someone who doesn't know much about football, knows how important Reming is to Monaco.

On the field, Jardim stroked his chin, appearing somewhat silent.

He didn't actually want to hand over the number 1 jersey to Lei Ming so quickly, because that would inevitably cause conflicts in the locker room. Although Subasic is currently still injured, his influence is still there. Giving it to Lei Ming at this time would be tantamount to indirectly making enemies for him, which is not the result he wanted.

He might be able to refuse Pavón's offer, but he couldn't refuse the orders from the club's management.

Although he was pleased that the club valued Lei Ming, he felt more melancholy and lost. After the major purge last season, he had a clear understanding of the true nature of Monaco's management.

They never care about whether a player is a genius or not; they only care about how much the player is worth.

Lei Ming's talent is undeniable, which has clearly made these sharks smell blood again. At this time, their focus on training him may not be a real "training" but rather an attempt to increase his value.

Of course, being valued is a kind of luck, after all, some people will never have this kind of recognition in their entire lives.

"Keep it up, Ray! Try your best to find a good team!"

Gazing at Lei Ming, who was carefully inspecting his gloves, Yardin silently cheered him on.

He knew very well that Monaco couldn't keep talents like Ray and Mbappe, and they never even considered keeping them.

Monaco has always been a businessman, not a philanthropist.

As the referee blew his whistle, the match began.

On the court, Lei Ming, having checked his gloves, continued to pace back and forth, moving every joint to keep his body in a state of high alert at all times.

His eyes were fixed on the battle ahead, and he was ready.

He felt great wearing the number one jersey. This game was as important to him as his debut, so how could he not take it seriously!

Seeing that the opponent's attack was about to come, he quickly shouted, "Mendy, watch out for the blockade, don't let anyone slip through!"

"Jermelson, watch out for the back post."

In the third minute of the match, the opponent's attack came like a tidal wave. Lei Ming directed the defenders to position themselves and make targeted defenses.

Although the scene was a bit chaotic, he still managed to react in advance.

Sure enough, at that moment, the opposing player number 25, who had made a run down the wing, dribbled past Mendy and delivered a cross to the far post. Because the ball was a bit far from the goal, it wasn't appropriate for Lei Ming to come out, but fortunately, he had just reminded Jemerson, and his position was exactly below the landing point.

Because of the warning from Lei Ming, Jemerson was prepared for the ball in advance, so he handled it perfectly, heading it directly to Bernardo Silva's feet not far away.

Meanwhile, Monaco's attacking players reacted quickly.

After receiving the ball, Bernardo Silva dribbled it directly from the backfield to the front without hesitation, and the stadium ushered in Monaco's counter-attack moment.

After dribbling a few steps, Bernardo Silva didn't hold onto the ball. Instead, he delivered a precise long ball into a huge gap in the attacking third. Just as the ball landed, a figure appeared in the path of the ball.

The prominent figure of number 9 from behind caused the few fans in the stadium to cheer, as if the ball was bound to go in!

If we were to ask which Monaco player the fans trust the most, it would undoubtedly be the man wearing the number 9 jersey right now.

Yes, he is Tiger Falcao, a true man who gets better with age.

He met the ball with a first-time volley, leaving the goalkeeper, who was about to rush out, frozen in place, helplessly turning his head to look at the goal behind him.

The football flew over my head and bounced gently on the net.

“Goooooooooooool”

After scoring, Falcao happily went to the few fans present to celebrate with them.

Head coach Jardim clenched his fists tightly and breathed a sigh of relief.

After taking the lead by one goal, they will immediately turn the tide and make the game much easier.

Counter-attacking defense is damn effective!
