I changed football.

"Beep—beep—"

The referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

Li Yuan didn't feel exhausted, but he was indeed very tired, much more tired than when he usually played in the league.

He was still talking to Mbappe as he walked off the field.

"This is much more tiring than playing half a league game."

"That's true, European competitions are European competitions, the intensity is definitely different. If the Europa League is this level, what about the Champions League?" Mbappe said while wiping sweat from his brow with the hem of his shirt.

"We'll know next season. I just hope we get a better group then, and not a group of death."

"If we finish third, based on our previous results, we'll definitely be a third-tier team. Third-tier teams are very likely to be placed in a group of death. The difference is whether it's a big group of death or a small group of death," Mbappe analyzed with Li Yuan.

The locker room was very quiet during halftime.

Next to the players' locker room is a lounge for the coaching staff.

Jardim usually only comes into the locker room to speak to the players in the last 5 minutes.

He has always said, "The locker room belongs to the players, and coaches should not be too involved in it."

Many head coaches share this mindset.

However, some head coaches are like homeroom teachers, who like to interfere.

That's a matter of opinion.

During halftime, some teammates were resting quietly, while others were replenishing their energy.

Actually, not many people go to the toilet to urinate.

The main reason is that after 45 minutes of strenuous exercise, there's hardly any water left in the body.

This is just like laborers working under the scorching sun drinking lots of water, but not much urine comes out; it all turns into sweat.

However, Subasic went to the restroom.

He also suffered two shots on goal in the first half.

However, after Monaco scored, he faced far fewer threats.

When the 10th minute of halftime arrived, Jardim walked into the locker room as usual.

It ended after a few brief explanations.

At the 14-minute mark, led by Subasic, the starting eleven filed out.

The second half of the game has begun.

Neither side made any substitutions at halftime.

At the start of the second half, Napoli continued their high-pressing and pressing tactics.

Monaco retreated somewhat.

They deliberately conceded the middle to Napoli for attack.

Napoli launched two attacks, but to no avail.

At this point, the match had reached the 55-minute mark.

With the two sides locked in a stalemate, Napoli found it difficult to penetrate beyond the 30-meter zone.

Monaco's defense isn't actually that good, but so far, apart from Li Yuan and Mbappe leading the attack, everyone else has dropped back to defend.

In this situation, it's possible to temporarily withstand Napoli's high-pressure tactics, but this is certainly not a long-term solution.

So, after a failed shot by Napoli, captain Subasic launched a long ball forward.

Traore, acting as the target man, dutifully took the ball.

At this moment, Li Yuan and Mbappe had already quickly moved up the flanks.

Traore had the ball with his back to goal, so he kicked it directly to Bernardo, who was charging towards him.

Bernardo passed the ball directly to Mbappe on the left wing.

Mbappe has reached the rib area.

At this time, although Mbappe was active on the left wing, he would often move directly to the flanks, closer to the inside line, when making off-the-ball runs.

It makes it easier for him to shoot.

Mbappe's rise to become the legendary "crown king" was not without precedent.

You could say he only wanted to shoot, or you could say he was a lazy dog ​​who was too lazy to run around and just wanted to shoot.

However, 17-year-old Mbappe's talent is truly explosive. Although his footwork is not so refined and is sometimes a bit rough, he can make up for it with speed when he is young.

This time, he just stopped the ball a little too far.

However, he used his speed to catch up with the ball, and took advantage of the moment when the ball was stopped too far to dribble past Napoli's right-back, Hysé.

Hissé was already slightly tucked in, and Mbappé accelerated past him, then used his right leg to block him and continue tucking inward.

Then, with a quick right leg thrust, the shot was so subtle that Reina had no time to react and could only watch the ball fly into the goal from his left side.

"Goal again! Mbappe has scored too! Monaco is now 2-0 up away from home, and with two away goals, their chances of advancing have greatly increased!"

Zhan Jun said with great joy.

Zhang Lu then commented: "Mbappe's speed is his advantage, but his footwork is a bit rough. Just now, he didn't stop the ball well and it was too heavy. But his speed is too fast, and his acceleration is too fast. He realized that he had stopped the ball too heavy and immediately accelerated to catch up with it. Moreover, his lower body is very stable. After he got past the defender, he immediately blocked the position in the paint. This way, if the opponent tries to hook the ball from behind or steal it, it will draw a foul. This is a very smart way to get past people."

"That's true. Monaco's two wingers are really strong. On the right is Li Yuan, and on the left is Mbappe, who just scored his 10th goal of the season."

"It's extremely rare to see two 17-year-old players scoring in double digits. No wonder Monaco fans have already called Li Yuan and Mbappe the twin stars of Monaco."

"Hehe, Monaco used to have the twin stars Henry and Trezeguet." Zhang Lu was clearly very knowledgeable about Monaco's history.

"Yes, Henry and Trezeguet were French teammates, and they played together at Monaco for four seasons, but neither of them scored double-digit goals in their debut season like Li Yuan and Mbappe."

"It's worth noting that Martial, the former Monaco player who joined Manchester United last summer for £3600 million, only scored 21 goals in his two seasons with Monaco, with a maximum of 15 goals in a single season, and only 6 goals in his debut season."

"This isn't meant to belittle Martial; he's a talent. But compared to him, Mbappe and Li Yuan clearly performed better in their debut seasons at Monaco. If they continue on this trajectory, they'll definitely reach even bigger stages!"

While Zhan Jun was envisioning the future, the game continued.

However, Napoli were clearly discouraged after falling behind 0-2.

Sarri substituted Higuain in the 70th minute.

This substitution is a signal.

Although Napoli was still attacking, Sarri's substitution was clearly a silent message to the players on the field: we're going back to the league, we're calling it a day.

Napoli accepted it directly, and Monaco accepted it as well.

With a 2-0 away lead and two away goals, are you still going to keep attacking? Aren't you afraid the opponent will launch a counter-attack?

Jardim also made a decisive move, substituting Mbappe and Li Yuan directly at the 75th minute, signaling the end of the match.

Napoli had another good chance in the 80th minute when Insigne dribbled the ball into the attacking third and crossed it, but no one in the middle contested it.

This was also the last threatening shot of the match.

Finally, before the three minutes of added time had even elapsed, the referee blew the final whistle at 92 minutes and 50 seconds.
