ALL NOVEL Chapter 8
The goalkeeper was beaten, and the ball was thrown into the air.
"My God, what's wrong with this goalkeeper? Is he a genius from nowhere? Why didn't we have any news about this player before!"
In the chaos, he caught the ground-level slash of the striker Kane, and even threw the ball without hesitation afterwards. Monaco's defensive counterattack seemed to have been practiced countless times. It looked so skillful that the Premier League powerhouse Tottenham almost didn't react.
The host of the Champions League kept giving high praise to this goal in the live broadcast room, praising the beauty of this attack.
On the court, Tottenham players returned one after another. Son Heung-min turned around and looked back at the direction of Monaco's goal, with an interesting smile on his lips.
Interesting, I didn't expect his skills to be so good.
He was not affected by the goal loss, because it was normal for them. It was just a one-goal difference. He did not think his team could not win the game.
Like him, Kane, who was a little frustrated, quickly sorted out his mood. Although he missed a wonderful goal and even indirectly helped the opponent score such a goal, he did not think they could not win the small Monaco.
There were still 85 minutes in the game, and they had many opportunities!
However, in fact, Tottenham's ideas were mature and pragmatic, but the reality was different from what all of them thought.
Some birds cannot be caged because their wings are too dazzling!
Perhaps the strength gap between the two teams is indeed obvious. Whether in offense or defense, Monaco is worse than the opponent. Tottenham's offense is like a wave, one wave higher than the other.
However, after Lei Ming's repeated saves in the first half, Monaco managed to keep the score at 1:0. Until the halftime break, Tottenham, with an average possession rate and a shooting rate of 70%, could not break Monaco's goal.
The No. 99 goalkeeper refused all goals like a goalkeeper.
Throughout the first half, Kane, the captain and the head of Tottenham, was almost rejected to the point of collapse. Several times, he covered his face with his hands to express his annoyance.
It is hard to imagine that there would be such a powerful goalkeeper in such a garbage team. No matter how he shot, the opponent could always accurately judge the best landing point, and even his sudden back-to-back shot could not deceive the opponent.
This game even gave him an illusion that he was facing world-class goalkeepers such as Buffon, Casillas, and Cech.
Son Heung-min looked at the relaxed No. 99 walking into the player tunnel with his teammates, talking and laughing, and his eyes became more determined.
He must work harder and must not let the team's pace stop here. He needs to prove himself to more people, and the precious Champions League is undoubtedly his best performance stage.
He doesn't want to be looked down upon by anyone again, really doesn't want to.
When he left the court, Lei Ming hugged Mbappe and said dissatisfiedly: "What the hell, Xiao M, I created so many opportunities for you in the first half, why can't you grasp them! If I were to say, you are still too young, you need to practice."
"Ah, right, right."
After the first goal in the first half, the young Mbappe seemed to be suddenly silenced and was suppressed by the opponent's defender. No matter how Lei Ming created opportunities for the opponent, it didn't work.
In fact, Mbappe himself was not satisfied with such a result, and he has been reflecting on how he should break the deadlock in front of him.
Speed was originally his weapon, but every time he was about to start, the opponent's defenders would always use various methods to interfere with him, which made him unable to start several times, let alone get rid of the opponent.
"By the way, do you have a girlfriend?"
"Ah, why are you asking this!" Mbappe looked at Lei Ming beside him in confusion.
"You are still young and not suitable for making friends. Introduce your girlfriend to me and let me help you share the burden. If you work together, maybe you can catch up with your idol soon."
"Go away, but I really don't have a girlfriend."
For Lei Ming's proposal, even Mbappe, who is a single dog, said it was very bad. He would not accept the other party's proposal.
"But, to be honest, your performance in the first half was really bad. They restricted your speed, so you should stay away! When you run, which of those veterans can keep up with you?"
"Ah, this is also okay?
"
"What's there to disbelieve? As long as you can score a goal, you have to believe me. Even if I'm at the back, I can see your most dazzling blackhead at a glance. All you have to do is score a goal."
"Okay, I believe you."
Just as Lei Ming said, Mbappe also felt that Lei Ming's proposal was very suitable for him. The reason why he was controlled by the other party was because his range of activities was too small. If he could increase his running range, then they would never touch him.
When the two approached the lounge, they saw that their head coach and team were already waiting for everyone inside. However, the other party had a serious expression on his face. What was going on?
This scared Lei Ming and Mbappe so much that they quickly restrained their smiles and walked carefully to the back of the lounge.
Until everyone came in and the door of the lounge was locked, the head coach Jardim slowly spoke.
"Guys, forgive me for being blunt, you played like shit in the first half, it was terrible! ”
“Without Lei Ming’s wonderful performance, I can’t imagine what the score would be like now. What on earth were you thinking?”
“Sidibe, Mendy, what are you two doing? You have no dominance on the wing. You were all beaten. Is the opponent’s technology really that good? Why don’t you be tougher?”
“Glick, Jamelson, Kane is so big, can’t you see it? Can you interfere when he shoots? You should thank Lei Ming, he became your guardian in the first half.”
“Uh, not really, everyone is working hard, I can feel it. "
Suddenly, when several brothers in the back line cast their eyes at Lei Ming, Lei Ming was so scared that he touched the back of his head and waved his hand modestly to indicate that he would not listen to the coach.
Seeing that the atmosphere of the team gradually became serious, Jardim stopped talking about this topic.
"Even though we all know that Tottenham is a strong team in the Premier League and is indeed a little stronger than us, but, so what, this is the Champions League, this is your best performance stage."
"So, guys, in the second half, please trust your teammates behind you more, play freely, and let the Premier League fans feel how fierce the enthusiasm from our Monaco Storm is. "
"Mbappe, are you okay?"
"Report to the coach, I'm fine."
"Well, okay, in the second half, I will release your right to fire, do a good job, kid. "
After Yalding had a word with the players, he quickly made some targeted deployments. Lei Ming could clearly feel that this old man had something on his mind. The players felt their eyes became more determined after being adjusted.
Brothers, you must stand up. It all depends on you whether my 200,000 euros will go down the drain.
Kane is worthy of being the top scorer in the Premier League. Every shot he makes is very threatening. Therefore, a one-goal lead is still not safe. Lei Ming naturally hopes that his teammates can score a few more goals.
