I changed football.

11 month 9 day.

Just one day after Monaco B team's league match.

Mbappe and Li Yuan went straight to report to the Monaco first team without taking a break.

Unlike Li Yuan, who had never been to the first team's training base, Mbappe had been to the first team's training base many times.

"Monaco's B team and youth teams are over there, while the first team is over here, separated by a partition. The first team can go to the B team and youth teams, but the B team and youth teams can't just go to the first team's area. The first team's locker room, training ground, rehabilitation center, etc., are only for first team players to use."

Mbappe acted as Li Yuan's guide at the first team's training base, showing Li Yuan around the training ground.

The morning training session hadn't started yet, so the two arrived a little early.

"It seems that there are only about ten players in the first team who don't have national team matches to play right now; the rest have all gone to participate in national team matches."

Actually, Li Yuan's U19 team was supposed to have a match during this national team break, but it was just a friendly match held in China. U19 head coach Li Ming didn't call up any of his players who were playing in Europe.

There were three matches in the AFC U19 Asian Cup qualifiers in early October, which Li Yuan participated in. However, Li Yuan doesn't have a deep impression of these three matches because they happened before his rebirth.

He only remembered that China U19 won all three qualifying matches.

In his previous life, Li Yuan was also a key player in this U19 team. At that time, he played as a right winger, Zhang Yuning as the center forward, and Lin Liangming as the left winger.

At the time, all three of them were overseas players and had the best relationship. In addition, all three were offensive players, so they were also known by fans as the Three Musketeers of the National Youth Team.

After Li Yuan scored for Monaco B, they all sent him WeChat messages to congratulate him.

Or perhaps it's precisely because Lin Liangming and Zhang Yuning played abroad that they understood how remarkable it was for Li Yuan to score in consecutive matches for Monaco B.

Monaco did not issue an announcement regarding Li Yuan's promotion to the first team, and Li Yuan did not tell anyone either. He planned to wait until he was actually able to stay in the first team before making it public.

"But I've already been promoted to the first team, how come I haven't completed the main gold quest yet?"

This is actually what Li Yuan cares about most.

[Main Quest: Promotion to the First Team. Achieve promotion to the first team before the end of the 2015-16 season. Quest Rewards: Dynamically adjusted based on specific circumstances.]

What Li Yuan is concerned about now is the task reward, which is dynamically adjusted according to specific circumstances.

It must be a good product.

However, Li Yuan has already received notification that he has been promoted to the first team, and he is now standing in the first team's locker room.

Why haven't I received a "Task Completed" notification in this situation?

Does that mean the mission is only considered complete when the club officially announces Li Yuan's promotion to the first team?

Li Yuan didn't know, but he had already asked the system in his mind many times.

However, it is clear that this system is not AI; at least for now, it does not have the ability to ask and answer questions.

Therefore, no matter how Li Yuan asks now, he will not get an answer.

Since that's the case, Li Yuan decided to put the [Golden Main Quest] aside for the time being. He and Mbappe sat in the first team's locker room, both of them looking rather reserved.

The two had been chatting outside, but once inside the locker room, they seemed to be influenced by something and stopped talking, simply sitting there.

Just then, the locker room door was pushed open.

The person who came in was wearing a baseball cap.

When he took off his hat, Li Yuan recognized him immediately. He was Jeremy Toulalan, Monaco's current defensive midfielder, who, at 33 years old, had long since retired from the national team.

Furthermore, Li Yuan recently saw a news report stating that Monaco has no intention of renewing Toulalan's contract. If all goes well, he will be able to discuss signing with other teams in January next year.

Tularang seemed quite amiable.

"You two look about the same age as my nephew. How old are you?"

Li Yuan and Mbappe exchanged a glance.

"I'm not 17 yet."

"I just turned 17 years and one month old."

Toulalan walked to his seat and sat down directly. While changing his clothes, he said, "So you're a year older than my nephew. That's impressive. You've both made it to the first team."

Seeing that Toulalan's attitude was very gentle, Li Yuan felt much more relaxed and watched Mbappe and Toulalan continue their conversation.

Then, the other teammates arrived one after another.

El Shaarawy, Nardi, Lopez, Wallace, Carrillo, and others.

All 10 players who weren't selected for the national team came this time.

Once everyone had arrived, the first team's assistant coach, Irola Fernandez, walked in.

"There aren't many players today, so let's hurry up and train. I know you all want to leave early today."

After Irola finished speaking, the locker room erupted in laughter.

Li Yuan and Mbappe exchanged a glance, neither quite understanding what was going on.

As they walked out of the locker room, Toulalan smiled and said to Li Yuan and Mbappe, "You won't like the training session later, but this kind of training will help you grow faster, and that's the most important thing."

Li Yuan suddenly realized something: Mbappe doesn't play defense in matches, but he's quite serious in training.

Although thinking about this at this time is a bit absurd.

When Li Yuan arrived at the first team's training ground, he realized how big the gap was between the first team and the youth team.

The first team has four full-size training pitches, which allows players to practice in groups and receive individual targeted training.

Not to mention training on one field and playing practice matches on another.

Moreover, judging from the decoration and facilities of the training fields, it is clear that the overall cost of the first team's fields is definitely much higher than that of the youth teams.

"Start training!"

Li Yuan had already seen head coach Jardim, but the training session was clearly being led by assistant coach Irola.

Under his arrangement—

As expected, Li Yuan and Mbappe were completely outmatched by the training.

"Alright, that concludes the morning training session."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mbappe collapsed to the ground.

Li Yuan was also bent over, his hands supporting his thighs, panting heavily.

"Have some chicken, beef, and fish for lunch, and don't forget to eat carbs. We have training this afternoon."

"It's already quite good that you didn't throw up during training this morning. Our training intensity is far ahead of the rest of Ligue 1. It's normal that you can't adapt to the training intensity of Ligue 1, which is coming directly from Ligue 2."

Irola then kindly said this to the two of them.

Before long, the two arrived at the cafeteria for lunch.

While eating salmon, Li Yuan said, "The head coach hasn't spoken to us all morning."

Mbappe, without looking up, ate his mashed potatoes and chickpeas and mumbled, "They might want to talk to us this afternoon."

Li Yuan watched Mbappe wolfing down his food, but he was thinking about something else entirely.

That means he must stay in the first team and develop quickly to the point where Monaco's first team canteen can serve Chinese food.

This food is absolutely awful.
