Lao Jiu has undoubtedly benefited from Lei Ming's influence. Coupled with Lei Ming's strength, he has now become a die-hard fan of Lei Ming. No matter whether the opponent is Manchester City or Manchester United, if they face Lei Ge, who has drunk the championship water, guarding the goal, they can just wait to lose!
"Tch, that's such a strong personal opinion, disappointing, unfollowing!"
"What a trash streamer! He's wasting everyone's time with this kind of commentary."
"Ha, what makes you think you can compare to my big-money Manchester City with such a small, run-down team? Liang Jingru, did you get the courage?"
"You idiot!"
"Ha, it's just for fun, why are you all taking it so seriously? You're not really hoping the streamer can make you a million, are you?"
Immediately, the live stream was bombarded with accusations from trolls.
Old Nine wasn't one to back down easily, so he directly confronted people in the live stream, saying, "Hehe, look at these people, what are they complaining about? So what if Manchester City has money? The ball is round, anything is possible."
"Let me tell you this: in football, it's not necessarily true that the more expensive the better. There are plenty of flops in football, and every single one of them is worth over 50 million."
"But can they make it? The value of one PSG team could buy several Monaco teams, and they still lost the game!"
“We’re talking about sports competitions here, what use is money to me?”
"The reason why football is the most attractive sport is because of its unpredictability and the surprises it brings. Any detail on the field can determine the success or failure of a match."
"I'm putting this out there: if Monaco loses, I'll be doing a live stream of myself doing a bunny dance in drag tomorrow night! Screenshots will be my proof."
"Of course, before watching the show, I suggest you take a sip of 'champion's water' to calm your nerves."
Having long been annoyed by the haters, Lao Jiu let out a long sigh after venting his frustration.
But after calming down, he suddenly imagined himself dressed as a woman and doing the bunny dance. It was absolutely mind-blowing. Not to mention others, even he himself got goosebumps just thinking about it.
Zhai Tianlin, who was watching Lao Jiu's live stream on his phone, was quite pleased to see Lao Jiu's tough attitude. He immediately sent a rocket to the live stream to show his respect, which made the originally tough Lao Jiu act like a grandson, constantly thanking the generous donor for the gift.
At this moment, not only Zhai Tianlin, but also many Monaco supporters spontaneously sent small gifts, causing the live stream's popularity to soar.
Lao Jiu smoothly caught this windfall and continued to provide commentary on the gossip surrounding the players from both teams.
...
On February 20th, the entire Monaco team arrived in Manchester by private jet, and then transferred to a bus provided by the club to go to their hotel for a good rest. The reason for arriving two days early was to allow them to get used to the atmosphere and environment here.
Jardim had clearly taken all the unfavorable factors into account, and that very evening they were harassed by Manchester City fans as soon as they arrived.
Even late at night, intermittent fireworks could be heard outside, making it feel like Chinese New Year.
Although the hotel's soundproofing was decent, it couldn't completely block out the noise from outside. Fortunately, the earmuffs they always had helped them get a decent night's sleep.
Manchester City fans really went all out, celebrating all night to ensure their team had better conditions, regardless of Monaco's complaints about local security.
All teams take the Champions League very seriously, so it's not surprising that Manchester City fans would do something like this.
In terms of public opinion, almost no one took Monaco of Ligue 1 seriously. They all believed that Guardiola's powerful Manchester City would crush their opponents in this round of 16 knockout stage.
Despite Monaco currently being first in Ligue 1, nobody thinks their first-place position is comparable to Manchester City's second-place position in the Premier League.
After all, the environment in the English Premier League is much more intense than that in Ligue 1.
On the morning of the 21st, the entire Monaco team held an indoor warm-up training session at the hotel. In the afternoon, they went to the home stadium for a familiarization training session. The whole team was full of confidence for this match, and no one wanted to lose here.
Manchester City truly lives up to its reputation as a veteran team in the Premier League. The quality of their stadium is far superior to Monaco's. In Ligue 1, apart from a few stadiums that can compare, most teams simply can't match it, including Monaco.
"Brother Lei, watch closely! Stepping on this soft grass, I feel like Superman!"
During training, Jardim arranged for the players to do the last training session with Lei Ming, which was a penalty shootout.
Penalties are a crucial element in the Champions League. Most teams that make it to the final rounds rely on penalties to advance. It's fair to say that if you're good at penalty kicks, your chances of winning increase by at least 60%.
Of course, Yaldin was never worried about making saves, because Lei Ming never disappointed him.
"Yes, awesome!"
"Come on, Captain, quickly take a picture of the background wall for me!"
Facing Lei Ming's defense, Mbappe took the opportunity to score with a powerful shot that bounced directly into the goal behind him, while Lei Ming merely moved aside symbolically.
Mbappe looked very happy after scoring the goal. He took out his phone, which he had prepared, and asked the captain to take a picture to capture this wonderful moment.
Lei Ming made a funny face and said with disdain, "That's too much, Kylian. Are you planning to nail me to the pillar of shame in the Premier League?"
"Hehe, hold back, Brother Lei, this is the coach's order, please cooperate!"
In the following time, the team's penalty takers stepped up to take the penalty, kick, shoot, and score.
Lei Ming's judgment was terrible today. He only guessed three directions correctly, and the rest were all wrong. This scene was also noted by the Premier League reporters who had been paying attention to their training. They were all hoping to make some more newsworthy before the big game started.
They were puzzled because the Monaco players seemed to be in a great mood. After each goal, they all smiled and asked to take a photo with the goalkeeper, making the background wall quite eye-catching.
Guardiola, who was in the club office, received a message from his assistant immediately, but after glancing at it, he stopped paying attention to Monaco's training.
He knew very well that these were all smokescreens released by Monaco.
He studied this goalkeeper's characteristics in detail, especially his set pieces, which were particularly outstanding. How could he not save one out of ten penalty kicks!
That's why he didn't believe what was happening.
But while he didn't believe it, Premier League fans were convinced. Looking at the reporters' reports, many Manchester City fans already had victory smiles on their faces.
"Ha, how can a goalkeeper like this compare to us? Although Wilfred is not very good either, he is at least better than this one."
