Chapter 97 A Photo of the Old and New Gatekeepers



"Oh, what's going on? Goal! It's a deflected own goal by Xue Dibi. The hero of the goal is Higuain."

"What a brilliant equalizer!"

"In the 93rd minute of the match, just when it seemed that Juventus was about to leave with regrets, Higuain, who had been working hard to find opportunities throughout the game, finally got his wish and scored a goal. It was definitely a golden goal."

"In this match, we could see that Lei Ming's performance was absolutely world-class. When Monaco was almost completely dominated by Juventus, it was he who repeatedly pulled the team back on track and made countless brilliant saves that saved Monaco from danger."

"It's a real shame that despite their best efforts to hold on for 92 minutes, they couldn't hold on to the score at the last minute. This is undoubtedly a blow to both Monaco and Remington."

"In the final moments of the match, Monaco's weak defense exposed some problems. Even though Lei Ming performed well enough, he still couldn't beat his opponent. It was clear that Allegri had made corresponding arrangements for Monaco's counter-attacks, increasing the defensive strength in the defensive midfield position, which immediately prevented Monaco's fast attacks from taking off."

"Although the draw is a pity, the good thing is that this is only the first leg of the match. After this encounter, both teams should have a general understanding of each other's strengths, and the next leg should bring a more exciting match to the fans."

"Oh, we see that the referee blew the final whistle shortly after the two teams started, and as I just said, the game ended in a 1-1 draw."

"It's really a pity!"

"Hey, look! Buffon is walking towards Monaco!"

"He actually exchanged jerseys with Lei Ming, which is definitely a positive affirmation for Lei Ming."

In the CCTV live broadcast, the ever-young Buffon walked towards Monaco's goal with a smile. To Lei Ming's surprise, Buffon smiled and reached out to greet him: "Lei, seeing is believing. Today's match against you was truly a surprise. To be honest, at this age, I am not as good as you."

Buffon, a fellow goalkeeper, knows all too well the pressure Monaco faces tonight. Even in his prime, he could hardly say he could do better than his opponent, let alone now.

Buffon believes that given enough time, the football world will see another talented goalkeeper in the future, and he is happy to see a flourishing of diverse talents in the sport.

Lei Ming was quite surprised by Buffon's arrival.

And I was also a little excited.

Two months ago, the video highlights he studied were almost entirely from the materials of his predecessor, Buffon.

Although the two had never met, Lei Ming had long admired him and held him in high esteem.

If Mbappe is Ronaldo's role model, then Buffon is also Lei Ming's role model.

Hearing praise from someone at this moment would be a lie to say you weren't happy.

He quickly and politely took off his jersey and exchanged it with the other player, saying somewhat embarrassedly, "Hehe, how could I? Senior Buffon, you are too modest. You have always been my idol. I have a lot of your save highlights saved by me!"

Haha, really?

Buffon was slightly surprised, but also delighted, when he heard Lei Ming say that he was imitating him.

"Of course, I'm not one to enjoy flattery."

"Haha, let's take a group photo together up ahead. If you have any problems in the future, you can just call me. I'm happy to help you with anything."

"It definitely will."

The two walked over to a camera nearby and took a photo together. Buffon smiled at the photographer and said, "Remember to upload a copy for us as a souvenir later!"

"OK," the slightly chubby photographer replied with a smile.

......

"Brothers, did you see that? Did you see that? This is what it means for heroes to appreciate heroes. Even the veteran Buffon has shown great favor to our Leiming. I find it hard to believe that there are still some haters in China who are attacking Leiming online. I really don't understand what you guys are after."

"What did they do to you by playing football abroad? Or is it that you're all unhappy because they don't accept naturalization? Or is it that they didn't pay our national team, so you have to criticize them?"

"I, Lao Jiu, can say with absolute certainty that with Lei Ming's level of competition, no matter how much you criticize him, it's useless. He simply doesn't need to pay any attention to you, you know?"

"In my previous impression, Lei Ming looked rather masculine, but I felt he would be easy to talk to. Let's go and meet him in a bit and see what kind of person he really is."

Because he followed Lei Ming and frequently tried to ride his coattails, he became known to more netizens. In his heart, Lao Jiu was actually grateful to Lei Ming.

So this time when he came to Monaco, he not only wanted to watch the game live, but also wanted to see if he could have a chance to talk to the other party and express his gratitude properly.

However, after Lei Ming greeted the fans, he and his teammates walked into the player tunnel, which left Lao Jiu somewhat at a loss. His Nile accent could fool the viewers in the live broadcast room, but in Monaco, communication was indeed a big problem.

During the hesitant English conversation, an unexpected event occurred. Although the staff member did not understand what the other person was saying, judging from their skin color and accent, he immediately smiled and invited them to the back of the players' tunnel. Upon arriving there, Lao Jiu was surprised to find that he had discovered quite a few young men and women with the same skin color as himself.

"Hey bro, are you all Chinese? What are you doing standing here?"

Lao Jiu casually asked a boy.

Seeing Lao Jiu's expression, the other party laughed and said, "Uncle, you're from China, right? It's normal that we're not familiar with each other. Of course, you're standing here so you can meet Lei Ming later. This is an event that Monaco specially arranged for Lei Ming, just so that Lei Ming can thank our fans for their support. It's been going on for a while now."

"Domestic? Aren't you in the same country?"

"No, we are all international students from nearby. We came here to cheer for Lei Ming because we live close by."

"Oh, I see. Bro, you don't mind doing a live stream here, do you?"

Old Jiu noticed that several people among them were holding up their phones and asked, concerned.

"Of course, feel free to take pictures. Lei Ming won't mind when he gets here. Trust me, he's a really friendly person."
