We made you the King of Prisoners, and now you've become the King of Football?

Chapter 107 First Championship

"The match is over!"

The final score is 1-3!

Congratulations to Monaco on their victory in the first leg of the Europa League semi-final!

"In this battle of counter-attacking football, Monaco, led by the renowned coach Jardim, ultimately prevailed!"

"Although the game was somewhat dull at times."

"But in the end, Jiang Ming delivered another fantastic match thanks to his individual performance!"

"He contributed two assists and one goal, directly involved in all three goals, and was awarded the MVP of the match!"

"All Chinese football fans can look forward to seeing Jiang Ming on the Europa League final stage!"

Love Song Stadium.

The Villarreal fans in the stands let out a sigh.

But then, they still applauded the players on the field.

The team has already done very well to reach this stage.

They also reached the European semi-finals again after a ten-year absence.

Although the Europa League is far less prestigious than the Champions League.

However, this team does not have the same group of star players from back then.

In contrast, their rival Monaco has a number of highly talented players in their squad.

They even defeated Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool.

What more could a team ask for?

Thinking about this, Villarreal fans felt relieved.

On the field.

Jiang Ming and his teammates stood in a row.

A thank you to the Monaco fans who have traveled from afar.

After completing this series of activities, the players dispersed.

As we walked back to the players' tunnel.

-

Jiang Ming also exchanged jerseys with Bakambu.

Bakambu wasted several chances in this match, and he scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

"Jiang, you played exceptionally well in this match!"

"Unfortunately, my teammates can't deliver passes to me like you do."

"However, I heard you're Chinese. Perhaps your Chinese league has some magical power that makes it worthwhile for me to experience it—"

""

Jiang Ming blinked as he listened.

No!

In that case, your "happy football" will be confirmed!

However, Jiang Ming didn't say these words aloud.

He decided to respect his fate.

After exchanging a few more jokes with Bakambu, he returned to the locker room.

.

Post-match press conference.

Marcelino slumped into his chair.

"Our tactics have been very effective against attacking teams like Napoli and Leverkusen."

"But—I never expected Mr. Yardin to be so thorough in his defensive counter-attack strategy—"

"We fell into the trap when his team scored a goal."

"As for Monaco's second goal—"

"ginger----"

"Our pre-match scouting report indicated that he did not have the ability to dribble past other players in one step."

1

"During the match, my assistant coach even used data from the game to make analogies."

"It's clear how many people were surprised by his sudden outburst."

"I even suspect that Mr. Yardin deliberately arranged for him to hide this—"

"As for the second leg, I might be saying this against my conscience, but we will give it our all!"

After a while.

Yalding strode into the press conference hall.

He casually adjusted the buttons on his suit jacket, his movements elegant.

As he sat down, Yaldin could barely contain his smile.

"A two-goal lead and three away goals will definitely help us a lot in the second leg."

"But don't worry, we won't repeat AC Milan's mistakes."

"We didn't dare say we had stepped into St. Jakob Park until the referee blew the final whistle in the second leg."

The applause of the audience was thunderous.

He speaks with precision and behaves with elegance.

He truly deserves to be called a top-tier coach who has led Monaco to where it is today!

A reporter from the audience then asked, "Regarding Jiang's speed, Marcelino expressed shock and said that this might be a trump card you've been hiding."

Yaldin was taken aback by what he heard.

What is that?

A killing move?

I can't reach it!

Jardim was stunned when he saw Jiang Ming's goal.

He had previously flown to Switzerland to attend the lottery ceremony.

I only heard about part of the training when I got back.

Caldera briefly described how fast Jiang could dribble past opponents.

Yaldin thought that Jiang's dribbling skills had improved a lot, just like before.

But I never expected it to turn out like this.

Yaldin, sitting on the stage, suddenly beamed with joy.

Since the opposing coach has said that, there will definitely be news after the game, and Jiang might be studied even more in depth.

I must help him share the firepower!

Thinking of this, Yardin slowly said, "Yes, it was indeed my arrangement."

The audience erupted in uproar.

"But the foundation of all tactics relies entirely on the individual abilities of the players on the field."

"Jiang deserves much credit for achieving this result."

Applause erupted from the audience once again.

The flashes of light were continuous.

After completing all the necessary interviews.

The entire Monaco team set off immediately without lingering.

After all, the schedule remains the same, with three matches per week.

The second leg of the French Ligue 1 final, the French League Cup final, and the Europa League semi-final.

Time is tight and tasks are heavy.

The entire group flew back to France overnight.

The next day.

-

China.

A battle of defense and counter-attack! Monaco prevails! 1-3 Villarreal away from home!

—"Halfway to the Europa League final! Can Jiang Ming, as a key player, lift the European trophy and become the first Chinese player in history to do so?"

—A tactical showdown! Jardim unleashes a hidden trump card! Marcelino cries out he can't take it anymore!

—Exclusive interview with Riquelme: I see a younger version of myself in Jiang.

Chinese football fans are already used to this.

"Monaco has even beaten Liverpool, Villarreal is a piece of cake."

"But this match highlight reel is really good! Jiang Ming's instant acceleration was so cool."

"Between two points, is Jiang Ming the shortest distance?"

"What you said is ambiguous. I reckon Jiang Ming won't be happy to see it."

After returning to France.

The entire Monaco team immediately went into training mode.

Although they will be playing at home in the next league match, this will reduce the fatigue of traveling.

Furthermore, their opponent is also a relegation-threatened team, Ganfeng, whose strength is negligible.

What truly energized the Monaco players was the next match.

French League Cup final.

Monaco will travel to the Stade de France to face Paris Saint-Germain.

This is the most important match.

The championship is within reach, just one match away.

Moreover, Paris Saint-Germain's midfield maestro Verratti has not yet recovered from his injury.

This is a huge benefit for them!

With this in mind, the Monaco players trained even harder.

In the blink of an eye.

Two days later.

The 36th round of Ligue 1 matches quietly kicked off at the Stade Louis II.

"Welcome viewers to tune in to Lay's Sports for this Ligue 1 Round 36 match!"

"Monaco will host Guingamp at home."

"I'm commentator Sun Chen."

"Judging from the starting lineups of both sides, Monaco is fielding a completely reserve team."

"Even goalkeeper Subasic got a rest."

"On the field, Mbappe led the way, with many substitutes and youth team players coming on."

"It seems that Monaco also attaches great importance to the upcoming French League Cup final against Paris Saint-Germain."

After the opening ceremony.

Monaco were not intimidated by their all-reserve squad.

The opponent was just a relegation-threatened team ranked near the bottom.

Their strength is even inferior to Monaco's reserve squad.

Thus, under the relentless bombardment of Mbappe and others...

Guingamp were down 2-0 by halftime.

The opposing coach, Gavinic, was no longer interested in standing on the sidelines directing the team.

There was no way around it; the difference in strength between the two sides was simply too great.

Especially in the 80th minute of the second half.

Gawainich also discovered that Jardine had actually replaced Jiang Ming with him.

Do we have to exterminate them all?

Kovenic was almost itching to have his players teach the opposing team a lesson.

Fortunately, after Jiang Ming came on, he only controlled the ball in midfield and did not push forward to organize attacks.

This finally dissuaded Gavrilo from his evil intentions.

In the end, he simply ordered his men to stay close to Jiang Ming and prevent him from moving forward.

He saw someone approaching and trying to protect himself.

Jiang Ming didn't feel uncomfortable at all; on the contrary, he enjoyed it.

[Successfully secured possession of the ball, mission progress +1]

He listened to the notification sounds that kept ringing in his mind.

All I want is for the other party to stick to me a little more.

~~

""

The referee blew the final whistle.

Monaco narrowly defeated Guingamp 2-0 at home.

The entire team got a rest and has more energy to face Paris Saint-Germain in the next match.

Jiang Ming successfully completed the mission.

Both have a bright future.

Jiang Ming sat on the lawn and opened the system panel.

[Ding! Congratulations on completing the mission objective: Accumulate points for successfully using your body to protect possession of the ball or to contest advantageous positions during the match—]

50 times

[Reward: Strength +10; Ronaldinho's "Flexibility and Power Dissipation" module]

[Strong 56-66]

[Ronaldinho's "Flexibility and Impact Dissipation" Module: On the field, he can significantly reduce the impact applied by opponents through his body's flexibility, maintain a stable center of gravity, smoothly connect to the next action, and reduce the risk of injury caused by such confrontations.]

Upon seeing the skill description, Jiang Ming's eyes lit up.

Counteract the unloading force and maintain a stable center of gravity.

This alone is enough to elevate him to another level in the midfield battles against his opponents.

In the future, when encountering close-range collisions, flying tackles, or similar maneuvers...

He can use his body's flexibility to deflect the force applied by his opponent.

The dribbling movements remain fluid, and the rhythm of passing and dribbling won't be easily disrupted.

But what truly made Jiang Ming's eyes light up was the last line of the skill.

Reduce the risk of injuries caused by such confrontations.

What does this mean?

Bruno Fernandes' Iron Man module helps him recover from muscle fatigue caused by a packed schedule.

However, malicious fouls on the field are never easy to prevent.

Let's not talk about things further back.

Neymar, known for his agile dribbling skills at Barcelona, ​​is the "first ball" on the field and is constantly targeted by opponents, resulting in a constant stream of injuries, both major and minor.

Even Ronaldo, the "alien" who was unstoppable at his peak.

He also suffered many hidden injuries after repeated targeted fouls, and his peak period came to an abrupt end.

The more technically brilliant and skillful a player is, the more likely they are to become a target for dirty tackles by opponents.

Jiang Ming now has this module.

This is equivalent to providing the most crucial insurance for one's career.

A healthy Ronaldinho who can fully realize his potential —

What kind of existence would this be?

Jiang Ming had already started to have inappropriate thoughts.

three days later.

Stade de France.

The lights illuminated the lawn as if it were daytime.

The stands were divided by dark blue and red and white.

Paris fans unfurled a giant TIFO – the Galácticos under the Eiffel Tower.

In Monaco, a banner was displayed that read in French: "Youth Army, New King's Road".

"Zhuangdianer Station! Zhuangdianer Station! Good evening, viewers!"

"We are now broadcasting live the 2015-16 French League Cup Final!"

"Monaco vs. Paris Saint-Germain!"

"The French Ligue 1 champions face off against a young dark horse." He Wei's voice echoed through the live broadcast room to every household.

Xu Yang continued, "The biggest variable in this match has already emerged."

"Verratti is not fully recovered from his injury and will be on the bench for this match."

"Without Verratti as the metronome, Paris' midfield passing and control will drop at least one level."

"Blanco probably won't be going to engage in a midfield battle with Monaco today."

"They will most likely go straight for Ibrahimovic and Cavani in the attacking third."

"On the other hand, Monaco has Fabinho and Bakayoko as the two holding midfielders, Lemar and Bernardo Silva on the wings, and the center forward position is still occupied by the towering Traoré."

"Monaco's counter-attacking strategy has been honed to perfection."

"Even Villarreal fell to their defensive counter-attacks."

"Tonight we'll reveal who the champion is!"

"Let's get ready to enter the game!"

Live stream chat.

"With Verratti gone? What will PSG's midfield have to compete with Monaco?"

"Are we really going to rely on Rabiot and Matuidi? That's a really rough-and-tumble duo."

"I laughed. With Ibrahimovic and Cavani standing in the penalty area, can Monaco's defenders handle them?"

"I laughed. Ibrahimovic is notorious for being a terrible stir-fry noodle maker. You think you can rely on Ibrahimovic?"

"Whoosh—"

'

With a crisp whistle from the referee.

The competition has officially begun.

After the kickoff.

Paris's style of play surprised everyone.

Ibrahimovic passed the ball back to Matuidi.

The latter looked up and immediately launched a long pass towards the near post.

The ball sailed over Monaco's entire midfield and landed precisely on the left side of the penalty area.

Cavani rushed forward and stretched out his foot to try and control the ball.

Carvalho bumped into him.

-

The football failed to stop and rolled out of bounds.

He Wei was taken aback: "Wow! That's direct? Paris is starting with a high ball?"

"With Verratti out, Blanco simply abandoned ground passing and control, and started playing long balls and crosses to find Ibrahimovic and Cavani's height advantage."

Xu Yang nodded: "A smart choice."

"When it comes to midfield passing against Monaco, they'll definitely be at a disadvantage without Verratti. Paris Saint-Germain experienced that firsthand in their last league encounter."

"So it's better to be more direct in this match and use the physical advantages of our forwards to break into Monaco's penalty area, which will make it easier to create opportunities."

Sidelines.

Blanco stood with his hands in his pockets, his face expressionless.

This was a tactic he and the coaching staff devised after two sleepless nights.

Take advantage of one's own strengths and attack the other's weaknesses.

Monaco's defenders are not tall enough on average, so they use high balls to smash the ball.

the other side.

Yaldin frowned slightly.

He had imagined countless ways Paris could start the match beforehand.

The only thing I didn't expect was that the opponent would abandon midfield passing altogether.

Ibrahimovic is 1.95 meters tall, and Cavani is 1.85 meters tall.

The Wallace-Carvalho combination is fine for head-to-head positioning, but they will definitely suffer in consecutive aerial duels.

The match has reached the 12th minute.

Aurier throws a powerful ball from the right wing.

Ibrahimovic leaned against Carvalho with his back to him and thudded the ball to his chest.

"Here it comes, Paris' most threatening attacking method of the game."

Ibrahimovic braced his shoulder against Carvalho behind him and lightly tapped his heel against the ground.

Wow! A brilliant backheel pass!

"That's incredibly imaginative!"

"The ball was laid directly to Matuidi, who was making a run forward!"

Matuidi met the ball and unleashed a powerful shot.

The football flew rapidly toward the goal.

Fortunately, Subasic was focused.

With a single palm lift, he lifted the ball over the crossbar.

"That was close!" He Wei exclaimed.

"Ibrahimovic's role as a pivot is too obvious; he receives the ball with his back to goal and sets it up in one smooth motion."

"That's the value of a top-tier center!"

"If the Monaco defenders can't get past him, he can handle the ball with ease."

"If they keep playing like this, Monaco's defense will inevitably break down sooner or later."

Live stream chat.

"Ibrahimovic's body is still too stiff; Carvalho can't lift him at all."

"Paris' tactics were simple, direct, and effective, posing a direct threat to Monaco's goal."

"7

"Monaco can't just defend; they have to attack."

"What's the rush? Jiang Ming hasn't even shown his skills yet."

Paris maintained dominance throughout the match.

High balls rained down on Monaco's penalty area.

The match has reached the 21th minute.

David Luiz dribbles the ball forward from the backfield.

Bakayoko immediately pressed forward.

Rabiot was stuck next to Jiang Ming.

at the same time.

Matuidi and Lucas Moura both stepped forward.

Paris's midfield and forward players formed a tight passing network.

David Lewis seized the opportunity and kicked forward with a powerful kick.

Ibrahimovic controlled the ball with his back to the goal and his chest.

He turned and unleashed a powerful volley!

"Ibrahimovic!" He Wei exclaimed in surprise.

The football transformed into a white streak, heading towards Monaco's goal.

Unfortunately, the ball was hit too hastily and couldn't be completely suppressed.

Finally, it barely grazed the crossbeam.

Punish the Monaco fans behind the goal severely.

On the field.

Jiang Ming was standing near the center circle.

Adjust the position gradually.

Meanwhile, they silently observed the movement of Paris.

His gaze fell on Rabiot.

Rabiot kept running back and forth with him.

However, his sense of location is not very good.

Rabiot's attention would drop half a beat as long as the ball wasn't on his side.

Right-back Aurier likes to rush forward.

After rushing forward, their speed in returning to defense was not particularly fast.

These details are not random.

These are the inherent weaknesses in Paris's tactics.

To ensure the attacking power in the frontcourt, gaps must be left behind.

"The counterattack point is on the right flank—" Jiang Ming muttered to himself.

Paris's most dangerous aspect in this match was their high balls.

The most dangerous situation for Monaco is the counterattack launched by the opponent after they push forward.

Just then.

Monaco made a crucial interception.

Carvalho contests a header.

He forcefully headed the ball out of the penalty area.

The football landed right at Jiang Ming's feet.

The moment Jiang Ming received the ball, Matuidi pounced on him.

The two men's shoulders collided heavily.

In the past...

Faced with someone as tough and ruthless as Matuidi, Jiang Ming would have been overpowered long ago.

This time, however, Jiang Ming simply turned his body slightly to the side, and most of the force was dissipated in the direction of the movement.

Jiang Ming's feet remained firmly planted.

They can even use the momentum to push the ball forward.

Matuidi paused for a moment.

He clearly used all his strength, but his opponent acted as if he hadn't felt any force at all.

In that brief moment of distraction...

Jiang Ming has already dribbled the ball across the halfway line.

"Counterattack! Monaco's counterattack!" He Wei's voice rose instantly.

Paris's defenses were indeed largely empty.

Aurier was still in the attacking third and hadn't returned yet, leaving Paris' right flank wide open.

Jiang Ming looked up and glanced at it, then gently pushed off with his right foot.

The football skimmed along the grass and cut diagonally into the left flank.

Lemar understood immediately, made a forward run, and successfully received the ball.

He accelerated with his feet.

A one-on-one opportunity instantly!

"Lemar!"

Trapp decisively abandoned his goal and launched an attack.

Lemar faces the onrushing goalkeeper.

A gentle push with the arch of the foot.

The football rolled past Trapp.

It squeezed into the net, close to the far post.

0-1!!

"Goal! Lemar!"

"Jiang Ming's assist! A classic counter-attack goal!"

"From the aerial duel in the backfield to the final goal, the entire counter-attack took only three passes—it was lightning fast!"

"That's the most terrifying thing about Monaco."

"The more aggressively the opponent presses, the larger the gaps behind them, and the more lethal their counterattacks will be."

The away team's fan section erupted instantly.

Red and white scarves were waved wildly.

The cheers drowned out the boos from the Paris fans.

Lemar slid down to his knees in the corner flag area.

His teammates swarmed around him.

Sidelines.

Yaldin's lips curled up.

How could they let their own team score first?

He had already figured out how to torture the other side.

the other side.

Blanco frowned.

He stared at Jiang Ming on the field, his mind racing.

-

This kid's physical confrontation is completely different from what's shown in the video.

When I watched the match highlights before, he was clearly a technically skilled midfielder who wasn't particularly strong in physical duels.

Why can't even Matuidi move him today?

The more I thought about it, the more something seemed off.

But I can't quite put my finger on what the problem is.

The celebrations in Monaco have ended.

Both sides returned to the center circle.

The game has restarted.

Paris did not rush into a confrontation after falling behind.

They are the dominant force in Ligue 1, and they won't panic just because they conceded a goal.

31 minutes.

Matuidi and Rabiot executed a beautiful lateral movement.

Kurzawa made a run forward and had a chance to cross the ball.

This time, Monaco was clearly on guard.

Since the opposing team likes to play crosses from the flanks.

Then we can't let the other side easily kick.

Full-back Echekiel firmly marked his opponent, blocking Kurzawa's cross out of bounds.

Time passed little by little.

The match has reached the 39th minute.

Paris Saint-Germain won a corner kick on the left.

Matuidi stands in front of the ball.

Thiago Silva and David Luiz both charged into the penalty area.

Ibrahimovic was also positioned at the near post.

Monaco players quickly retreated to defend.

-

The penalty area was packed to the brim.

The whistle fell silent.

Matuidi takes a running start and kicks.

The ball did not fly towards the center.

Instead, they took a tactical corner kick.

Rabiot received the ball and then passed it across to the edge of the penalty area.

Ibrahimovic retreated, leaned against Bakayoko with his back to him, and lightly tapped his right foot.

Cavani rushed forward and unleashed a powerful shot!

The football flew like a cannonball towards the far corner of the goal.

Subasic made a diving save.

My fingertips barely grazed the soccer ball.

But it didn't change the ball's direction.

That was a powerful and heavy kick!

1-1!!

"Goal!"

"Cavani!"

"A world-class goal! A powerful shot from outside the penalty area!"

"Paris Saint-Germain has equalized!"

"Ibrahimovic's pass was crucial!"

"This is the perfect teamwork between top-class forwards! A target man, a finisher, flawless!"

"Monaco's defense still left one man open."

"The top of the penalty area was unmarked, allowing Cavani to easily get a shot off."

"That was a really beautiful shot; Subasic had absolutely no chance against it."

Tens of thousands of Paris Saint-Germain fans jumped to their feet.

The sea of ​​dark blue flowers is in full bloom at this moment.

-

The singing and cheering made the stadium tremble slightly.

Cavani ran to the sidelines and made his signature archery celebration.

Ibrahimovic walked over and patted him on the back, finally managing a smile.

Blanco clenched his fist and let out a long sigh of relief.

If the score is tied, the game is still going.

He was afraid that if the team couldn't break through Monaco's defenses, they would be manipulated by Monaco.

Live stream chat.

"Holy crap! A world-class goal! Cavani's shot was amazing!"

"Ibrahimovic's passing awareness is absolutely amazing! Who still calls him 'Mr. Stir-Fried Noodles'? Speak up!"

"They did manage to tie it after all; that's the Parisian heritage."

"There's no one marking the edge of the box; Monaco's midfield is still a bit leaky."

Two minutes of stoppage time were added in the first half.

Neither side posed any further threats.

When the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

The score remains 1-1.

In the away team's locker room.

Yaldin stood in front of the tactics board, his tone calm.

"The team played well overall in the first half, and their counter-attacks were effective."

"We only have one problem, which is that the area around the penalty arc is not well protected."

"In the second half, Bakayoko should play more defensively and prevent the opponent from getting easy long-range shots."

Bakayoko gave an OK sign.

"As for the offensive end, let's keep it up." Yardin's gaze fell on Jiang Ming.

"Paris will definitely push forward again in the second half. Jiang Duo drops back to receive the ball, drawing their midfield defense and opening up space on the flanks."

Come."

Jiang Ming nodded.

"Also, pay attention to Rabiot's movements," Jardin paused, then added.

"He made several small fouls in the first half. He needs to protect himself and avoid getting injured."

Yardin knew his opponent's character all too well.

When they get anxious, they'll do anything.

The fifteen-minute break passed in the blink of an eye.

The two sides switched sides for the second half.

From the start, Paris continued the style of play they had used in the first half.

High ball.

If Zhang Lu were to commentate on this match.

He estimated that Blanco would immediately call him an expert.

-

Many teams lose because they don't know how to launch low, high balls.

53 minutes.

Ibrahimovic's bicycle kick from outside the penalty area.

The football grazed the crossbar and went out of bounds.

This gave Monaco fans a real scare.

59 minutes.

Monaco launched a counterattack.

Lemar cuts inside from the left and shoots.

Trapp made a valiant tackle to get out of the way.

The pace of the game suddenly picked up.

It was quite a lively back-and-forth exchange.

Commentator He Wei exclaimed excitedly, "The second half was much more open! Neither side played conservatively; it was a real attacking battle!"

Xu Yang chimed in, "In the finals, everyone wants to win; it's just a matter of who makes the first mistake."

"There's still a problem in Paris' midfield. Rabiot's defensive tackles are too aggressive, making him prone to getting cards."

The match is in its 63rd minute.

Jiang Ming receives the ball in midfield.

He turned and shook off Matuidi's challenge.

The view in front of me was open and expansive.

He was preparing to dribble forward.

A figure suddenly rushed over from the side.

Rabiot's feet had shiny cleats.

He shoved straight at Jiang Ming's supporting leg ankle!

Side-rear flying tackle!

"Danger!!" He Wei exclaimed in alarm.

The entire stadium held its breath.

-

Everyone knows how dangerous this kind of side-rear flying tackle is.

At best, it's a sprain; at worst, it can break a leg.

Jardim suddenly stood up from the coach's bench, his face ashen.

Bakayoko, who was closest, roared and charged forward.

"You're fucking insane!"

There was a half-second silence, followed by a huge uproar.

The referee ran over and, without saying a word, pulled out a red card.

Straight to the top!

Rabiot paused for a moment, then protested vehemently.

But the referee was adamant and waved his hand, signaling him to leave the field immediately.

If they don't leave the ring after such a foul, it's likely that the two sides will have to engage in a fierce boxing match.

Just when everyone thought Jiang Ming was about to collapse to the ground and writhe in pain.

And when the team doctor carried him off the field on a stretcher.

next second.

Jiang Ming silently got up from the ground.

It seems like they weren't seriously injured.

This put everyone at ease.

Such a talented genius shouldn't have his career ruined by such a reckless foul.

"Rabiot's tackle was so reckless! That flying tackle from the side with his studs showing was completely aimed at the player!"

"That's too dangerous! Most players would need at least two weeks to recover from a hit like that."

"Thankfully, Jiang Ming is alright."

The live stream chat exploded.

"Holy crap! Are they targeting cripples?!"

"Rabiot was so dirty! The red card was absolutely deserved!"

"I was so scared! I thought Jiang Ming was going to be out for the season!"

-

"What happened? How come such a powerful flying tackle is unharmed?"

"Jiang Ming must have slipped, and Rabiot didn't land properly this time, right?"

"Fortunately, Jiang Ming doesn't seem to be seriously injured. We'll need him for the top twelve in the preliminary rounds!"

Sidelines.

Blanco covered his face, looking utterly desperate.

He repeatedly told me to be careful with my movements before the competition, but something still went wrong.

How can we play if we're down a player?

Rabiot is still young; he was too reckless this time.

the other side.

Yaldin quickly walked to the sidelines to confirm that Jiang Ming was indeed alright.

Only then did I feel relieved.

So Jardim didn't hesitate any longer, shouted a couple of times at the field, signaling the team to push forward.

-

Now that the team has a one-man advantage, it's a great opportunity to extend their lead.

They might be able to end the game directly within the regular time limit.

On the field.

Jiang Ming stood still and stomped his foot.

It's really nothing.

In that instant, my body seemed to have an instinctive reaction, dissipating the force of the impact, and even the angle of my roll was just right.

Ronaldinho's flexible energy-dissipating module truly lives up to its reputation.

Energy dissipation! And it's energy dissipation with extremely high purity!

After Rabiot left the field, Paris completely changed their formation.

Blanco substituted Cavani with a defender, switching to a 5-3-1 formation and retreating entirely into defense.

The buses were packed tightly together.

Ibrahimovic held the fort alone at the front, occasionally creating threats with his individual abilities.

Monaco, on the other hand, pressed forward with all their might, bombarding Paris's half of the field.

However, Paris's defense was extremely tight, with the penalty area crowded with players, making it difficult for Monaco's ground passing and movement to penetrate.

In the 70th minute, Bernardo Silva took a long-range shot from outside the penalty area, which was blocked by a defender.

In the 76th minute, Jiang Ming took a corner kick, and Carvalho's header went wide.

In the 81st minute, Lemar broke through on the wing and crossed the ball, but Traore's volley at the far post went high.

Opportunities kept coming, but they just couldn't break through the opponent's defense.

"This bus in Paris is parked very securely," He Wei remarked.

"Playing with one less player actually makes it harder to play. They all stay in the penalty area, and Monaco's speed advantage can't be utilized."

Xu Yang chimed in, "It all depends on Jiang Ming's creativity."

"Breaking through a dense defense in positional play is most challenging due to the midfielder's passing skills."

"Either take a long-range shot, or deliver a deadly through ball."

On the field.

Jiang Ming, on the other hand, remained very composed.

He wasn't in a hurry to send a through ball forward.

Instead, he dribbled back and forth in front of the penalty area, creating space for the defense.

They kept shifting Paris's defenses.

The 87th minute of the match.

Bernardo Silva dribbled down the right flank, shaking off two defenders in quick succession.

A triangular pass back to the edge of the penalty area.

Jiang Ming ran towards the ball, and everyone thought he was going to shoot directly at the goal.

David Lewis even leaped over to block him.

But when Jiang Ming's right foot landed, it didn't hit the soccer ball.

He slipped slightly with his toes.

The ball rolled past David Luiz.

It landed right at Lemar's feet as he made a run from behind.

Everyone was stunned.

No one expected him to choose to let the ball pass.

"A slip-in! Jiang Ming cleverly slipped it in!" He Wei shouted instantly.

Lemar reacted extremely quickly, meeting the ball head-on with a direct shot.

Trapp hurriedly fell to the ground to save him.

The football skimmed along the grass, slipped under his armpit, and headed straight for the far corner.

It slammed against the inside of the goalpost with a thud and bounced into the net.

1-2!!

In the 87th minute, Monaco regained the lead!

"Goal!!"

"Lemar! A brace!"

"Jiang Ming's missed shot was too ingenious! It completely fooled the entire defense!"

"That awareness, that vision, absolutely amazing!" He Wei shouted with boundless enthusiasm.

Xu Yang nodded with a smile: "Jiang Ming's pass was really cunning."

"Everyone was focused on the shot, but he deliberately let the ball pass, leaving the defenders no time to react."

The away section at the Stade de France went completely wild.

Monaco fans tossed their scarves into the air.

Lemar rushed towards the corner flag and huddled together with his teammates who were charging towards him.

Jiang Ming also ran over and was surrounded by everyone.

Leading by two goals.

With one less player, Paris's chances of a comeback are extremely slim.

Jardim, standing on the sidelines, finally smiled and gave each of his assistant coaches a high-five.

-

The championship is in the bag!

Blanco slumped on the coach's bench, looking utterly helpless.

He has made all the adjustments he could.

However, due to the difference in strength and the fact that they were down a player, they were ultimately powerless to turn the tide.

The live stream chat was filled with jubilation.

"Here it comes! The game-winning goal!"

"Jiang Ming's ball-leaking is outrageous! It could even slip through a gap in the crowd!"

"Lemar is also very composed; he doesn't panic at all when shooting at these kinds of balls."

"Monaco has won the French League Cup!"

"Rabiot is the biggest hero! A red card handed the championship to him!"

"Jiang Ming had two assists today, so he can be considered a star player."

"If that flying tackle had been thrown at someone else, they might have been injured and forced to retire."

In the remaining time, Paris launched a final counterattack.

The disadvantage of playing with one less player is too obvious, and the attack simply cannot be organized.

Monaco, on the other hand, steadily controlled the pace, slowly running out of time.

Four minutes of stoppage time.

The referee practically blew the final whistle as if he were timing it perfectly with a stopwatch.

And~~,

The match is over!

The score remained 1-2.

Monaco defeated Paris Saint-Germain to win the 2015-16 French League Cup!

Monaco's first title has officially arrived!
