I changed football.

In the ninth round of the league, Monaco B team played away.

The opponent is Heyas.

Heyas is located in the Var department in the Mediterranean region of southern France, and the largest city in the vicinity is Toulon, the capital of the Var department.

It's Toulon, the city that hosts the Toulon Tournament.

Heyaz and Toulon are only 20 kilometers apart. To be honest, in many cities in China, that's not even outside the city center.

However, the city of Heyas is so small that it can only accommodate tens of thousands of people, making it about the size of a town.

Their opponent is also the bottom team in Group C of the French Ligue 2.

This match was actually a piece of cake for Monaco B team.

Mbappe and Li Yuan started together again in this match.

The two seemed to be competing fiercely from the very beginning of the match.

Li Yuan made a long run down the right flank, cut inside, and unleashed a powerful shot that went slightly wide.

Meanwhile, Mbappe is also going to dribble past several players on the left wing and then shoot directly at the goal.

Neither of them said it explicitly, but there was a sense of competition between them on the court.

"These two are clearly on a completely different level from their teammates and opponents! They're unstoppable!"

The commentator knew he shouldn't have said that, but he said it anyway because that's how it appeared on the scene.

If everyone else is at 1.0 speed, then Mbappe and Li Yuan are at twice the speed; they are incredibly fast.

Not only are they fast, but they also have excellent ball handling skills.

This is so surprising.

"At this rate, it's only a matter of time before Monaco B scores a goal."

The commentator's words were quickly proven true.

Just 31 minutes into the first half, Li Yuan received the ball on the right wing and broke through. This time, instead of cutting inside to shoot, he chose to pass the ball.

Because when Li Yuan received the ball and dribbled forward to the right edge of the penalty area, the opposing defenders had already been drawn over.

Li Yuan attracted the attention of three opposing defenders by himself, which left the center and left side of the penalty area somewhat open.

Since that's the case, Li Yuan wouldn't go to the trouble of coming himself; he chose to pass the ball.

The pass wasn't to the center forward in the middle, but to Mbappe on the left.

Mbappe controlled the ball and then unleashed a powerful shot; the time between controlling the ball and shooting was extremely short.

Mbappe controlled the ball and then shot it into the net.

After scoring, Mbappe pointed to Li Yuan and stood there waiting for him to run over, then gave him a big hug.

"Bro! Your passing is that good too?"

"Wasn't my passing just better?" Li Yuan said with a smile.

Back in the U19 team, Li Yuan was a left-footed player playing on the right wing. This setup should have made him more adept at cutting inside and shooting, as his dominant foot is also his left. However, due to tactical reasons, Li Yuan focused more on passing the ball in the U19 team.

Although Li Yuan's right foot is not his dominant foot, he has no problem crossing and passing with his right foot after years of training. Unlike many players, his non-dominant foot is completely disabled.

Moreover, with the support of the Messi-Ronaldo shin guard set, Li Yuan's ability to use both his dominant and undominant foot has been improved. This improvement is not temporary, but rather allows Li Yuan to improve his dominant and undominant foot abilities more quickly when he focuses on training them in training.

This is the original purpose of the system items.

……

The game progressed very quickly after that.

Li Yuan scored in the 59th minute of the second half.

Since providing the assist to Mbappe, Li Yuan has spent more time looking for opportunities to score himself.

The goal in the 59th minute came when he received the ball on the right wing, cut inside, took two steps laterally, and then shot directly.

It's especially like Robben's cut-in shot.

Only after the ball went in did Li Yuan feel confident.

The main quest is now complete.

He really needs that "language bread".

Even though he has been in France for almost three years, he can still speak and understand French, but he can't read it.

And he could only hear standard French, or rather, what Li Yuan considered to be Parisian French.

Because his initial French teacher was a Parisian.

This is actually why he and Mbappe had a good relationship back then.

For Li Yuan, his current level of French proficiency is sufficient. He originally only considered Ligue 1 as a stepping stone, and he will definitely move to other leagues in the future.

As for where he will go in the future, Li Yuan himself certainly cannot predict his future, and he hasn't thought about it yet.

However, after receiving the "Language Bread" reward, he has already decided which language he wants to learn.

What else is there to say? It's obviously in English.

In Europe, speaking English allows for basic communication in at least one country.

Li Yuan's English ability is indeed quite poor, especially his spoken English. Before coming to France, he had not learned English well in China and could be considered a "mute" English speaker.

If the "Language Bread" reward continues in the future, he has already decided that the next language he wants to learn will definitely be Spanish.

By then, he will be fluent in Chinese, English, and Spanish—the three most widely spoken languages ​​in the world—and he will be able to travel the world without fear.

The game was essentially over after Li Yuan scored.

Because there was a cup match midweek, Nelson substituted Mbappe and Li Yuan to give them a rest and prepare for the midweek league match.

After this league match, it will be the international break, and that's when the two will be promoted to the first team and train with them.

Although Nelson was the head coach of the B team, he was still under Jardim's command, so he followed Jardim's arrangements and instructions very well.

Jardim wants to have the two players train with the first team during international breaks to observe whether they are suitable for playing in first-team matches.

He told Nelson about the idea but didn't ask Nelson to do anything.

However, Nelson had been Jardim's assistant for many years and knew Jardim's thoughts, so before the match, he spoke directly with Li Yuan and Mbappe, telling them that they would not play the full match.

Firstly, the midweek match is in three days, and Li Yuan and Mbappe are only 17 years old, so their physical condition is not yet at its best. One match a week is the best for them. If they want to play two matches a week, then they cannot play a full 90 minutes in a single match.

Secondly, after the midweek match, the two players will be promoted to the first team for training.

The training intensity of the first team is definitely much greater than that of the B team. Last season, Nelson saw a young player who was promoted from the B team to the first team get injured during his first first team training session because he couldn't handle the intensity.

Nelson told the two of them his thoughts directly.
