Chapter 57 Reaching the Top



"I'm maintaining a pretty good condition, it's just that I've had a bit of bad luck!"

"It's pathetic that someone with such great talent chooses to degenerate."

Mourinho turned off the TV in front of him, intending to get a good night's sleep. The match was indeed very exciting, which improved his mood considerably.

Although there were still about five minutes left in the game, with the score at 3-0, he didn't think Nice had any chance of turning the game around.

Neither on the offensive nor defensive end could produce any effective results, making a comeback seem like an impossible task.

Lei Ming greatly admired Balotelli's resilience and determination when facing strong opponents, and he was optimistic about the young man's future.

Campos was really lucky; he ran into another top player.

He even felt that Campos had suddenly become incredibly talented after being rejected by Manchester United for the sporting director position; otherwise, how could one explain the series of discoveries this guy made?

Mourinho even saw that several players in Monaco's squad were quite good. Fabinho, Bernardo Silva, Moutinho, Falcao, Toure, Glik and others formed an effective midfield. With such an outstanding goalkeeper, it was not a coincidence that they were able to reach the top of the league with this squad.

He even believes that this is a Champions League disruptor that will surprise many people because he knows best the benefits of counter-attacking football.

Inside the Stade Louis II, when the referee blew the final whistle, this key Ligue 1 match came to an end, with the scoreboard clearly showing 3-0.

This score was unexpected by everyone who had followed the game beforehand.

Judging from the score alone, it seems that the two sides are very mismatched. However, only those who watched the game know that while there may be a mismatch, the game was actually quite good, because Nice controlled the game for most of the time.

Monaco's victory lies in the fact that they have several players who are very good at seizing opportunities.

In this match, Mbappe scored one goal, while the remaining two goals were both scored by Falcao, and both of those goals came from corner kicks. This shows that Monaco clearly performed better when given the chance.

Falcao also successfully climbed back to second place in the top scorers list with one game, only three goals behind Balotelli, who is in first place.

His outstanding performance once again showed everyone that even if he was in hiding and asleep for 80 minutes, you cannot underestimate him or even forget him, because he may very well do something even bigger in the ten minutes he is awake.

In this match, Falcao was once again named Man of the Match with two goals, while the second place went to Monaco's Reming, and the third to Balotelli.

In a normal match, Balotelli had quite a few opportunities, but he just lacked the finishing touch and couldn't get past the opposing goalkeeper.

Throughout the match, he was nothing but frustrated. After the game, he even refused his teammates' attempts to comfort him and returned to the locker room in a huff. He was the only one who could not think about scoring; he had never encountered such a disrespectful goalkeeper before.

After the match, Jardim praised everyone on the team in front of the media and also affirmed the crucial role played by Lei Ming in the game.

With this match, Monaco finally achieved their first league title of the season, and the media rushed to ask Jardim how he felt about becoming league leaders.

Yaldin remained completely calm, recalling the prepared response he had given the night before, and replied with a smile:

"The league title is a wonderful position, one that all teams dream of, and we are no exception. It is also an affirmation of the team, the players, and everyone at the club."

"So, Mr. Leonardo, how long do you think Monaco will stay in this position?"

The media, not wanting to miss this hot news story, continued to press for answers.

However, the usually modest Yardin said half-jokingly, "Why can't I always be number one? Hehe!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Yaldin's answer made many people in the audience laugh.

Even Favre, who was standing next to him, gave him a disdainful look.

You don't know what kind of foundation Monaco has. The later the league goes, the more it tests the depth of a team's bench. Do you have that?

How do you compare us to Paris Saint-Germain?

The former has always been the league champion, constantly producing fresh talent with its endless money. The latter, Nice, is not bad either this season. How could a team built with a transfer fee of 1.5 million be bad?

Jardine certainly felt the mockery from the reporters in front of him and Favre beside him, but he didn't care at all and didn't explain to anyone why he said that.

Perhaps before this, he was not very certain about winning the league championship, and his belief was not very strong, but at this moment, he deeply understood what he and the team needed most.

Yes, we want the championship.

The French Ligue 1 championship trophy.

Isn't this the goal we've always strived for?

This season may have been a dream for Jardim, who had a budget of five million euros but achieved results that would normally require hundreds of millions of euros. He himself never expected this.

But now that we're already here, who would want to go down?

Even if you don't think so, as long as we believe it ourselves, that's enough.

......

Monaco defeats Nice 3-0, leaping to the top of the league.

Young goalkeeper defeats Balotelli in a spectacular performance.

A promising goalkeeper has attracted the attention of several renowned coaches; Monaco may receive major news at the end of the season.

That evening, trending topics about the match quickly emerged, attracting the attention of countless fans.

The next day, Lei Ming clearly felt that more people were asking him for autographs, and even the number one jersey, which used to be the least popular, was now becoming increasingly popular, which was quite amazing.

It's worth noting that there's a clause in the contract that allows him to receive 5% of the revenue from every jersey he represents sold. Although it may seem like just a small amount, it adds up to a considerable bonus!

"Lei, you're awesome! Can I get your autograph? I want to hang it on the wall."

A fan enthusiastically handed over a pen and said.

Lei Ming took the clothes and pen from the other person and emphasized, "Signature is fine, but you can't hang it on the wall. I'm afraid it will turn your wall green."

The fans stared at him wide-eyed, then suddenly burst into laughter.

"Haha, Lei, you're very funny. Keep it up, we like you."

"Thank you, thank you."

Lei Ming greeted each fan who wanted an autograph, and patiently signed for them all before heading into the club.

The first stop was naturally the cafeteria to replenish the nutrients needed for the day, followed by the training ground to prepare for the head coach's speech. It is said that the head coach rarely has anything to say today.
