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

"Okay, everyone in the live stream, welcome back to the competition. The live stream source was interrupted just now, but I found a new one."

Afei is a streamer on a popular Chinese streaming platform called Huanledou. Youth team events like the Monaco U19 tournament are usually ignored.

Today, however, it attracted a lot of "fans" to watch.

"I just placed a bet on the Belarusian over 2.5 goals, let's see if this match will go over 2.5 goals."

"Are the recommendations from these livestreamers accurate? They've been really bad lately."

"I've been a fan of this streamer for ten years. Last time, I went all in with public funds, and my strategy was to score even if the ball didn't go in. I was just released today."

Afei glanced at the witty and humorous comments and immediately noticed a key comment:

"Why is an Asian player in Monaco's squad? Is he Japanese or Korean?"

Afei looked at the live stream screen after hearing this comment in the chat.

Among the players about to enter the game, an Asian face was prominently featured.

He stared at the face in deep thought, finally remembering seeing it at a match three months ago.

To demonstrate his professionalism, Afei immediately looked up player information and swiftly provided the audience with a brief explanation:

"His name is Jiang Ming. He's a young player from China. He was sidelined for three months due to injury and only just returned for this match."

"Chinese players? Can our players even play in a match like this?"

"Since we're from the same hometown, we absolutely have to put a specific player on the field to score a goal and show our support!"

Looking at the comments, Afei was also unsure, as Jiang Ming's performance in the match three months ago had been mediocre.

His passing, control, dribbling, and shooting are indeed lacking compared to the foreign players competing on the same field.

The only highlight is that he is the same as the famous local star "Iron".

It's a horse that never tires.

"Beep—"

A crisp whistle blew, and the game officially resumed.

"Pass! Pass it quickly! Pass it forward! We're down by one goal now, let's launch a counter-attack, stop passing the ball around in our own half!"

As soon as the game started, Frederick was yelling at the top of his lungs from the sidelines.

Since the substitutions, Monaco U19 has only had one tactical approach.

Give the ball to Mbappe.

Jiang Ming was not used to his body at first, but after a period of time touching the ball, he gradually got the hang of it.

After gaining a general understanding of his own situation, Jiang Ming decided to act as a midfield playmaker, passing the ball as soon as he got it, focusing on saving effort.

It's not that he doesn't want to run, it's that his current physical condition simply doesn't support it.

How can a player in their adolescence be out of breath after running just a few steps!

If he keeps running around like crazy on the field, he really won't have the stamina to last until the end of the game.

"Snap—"

Jiang Ming delivered a precise low cross to the left, without any hesitation.

After receiving the ball, Mbappe prepared to go down the wing, but was immediately surrounded and attacked by two Saint-Étienne players.

One player even made a sliding tackle, stomping hard on Mbappe's shin.

Mbappe immediately rolled twice on the ground, looking exactly like Neymar.

The referee for the U19 youth team, whether blind or incompetent, only issued a yellow card for such a nasty act.

Jiang Ming gasped when he saw this.

If it were him, he'd be covered in bruises.

Dribbling past them is too dangerous; these kids have no sense of restraint when they tackle.

With his fragile body, if he were to be tackled even once, he would probably have to be carried off the field on a stretcher.

"Answerer, is this the young Chinese player you were talking about? Why is he just strolling around the field the whole time?"

"He definitely has the bearing of a Chinese player, except his belly isn't big enough!"

"Perhaps it's because players playing abroad can't eat sea cucumbers, resulting in insufficient nutritional intake..."

"Upstairs, I like your comments, but remember to turn off private messages."

Afei was also a little embarrassed, because he remembered that Jiang Ming was not like this three months ago!

At that time, Jiang Ming's only highlight was his running ability; he would run as fast as he could, as long as he didn't die.

Why are you walking like this now?

The pace of attack and defense on the field was extremely fast. Just two minutes later, Mbappe dribbled the ball down the wing.

This time, he dared not go down to the bottom again.

I'm afraid that, like before, I'll get tackled by those thugs from Saint-Étienne.

"If going down the wing doesn't work, then I can cut inside into the penalty area, right?"

Mbappe feigned a speed boost to the byline, but actually used it to shift the weight of the defender in front of him, and this move proved effective immediately.

With his historic burst of speed, Mbappe pushed off with his foot, instantly leaving the defender far behind, and dribbled laterally to prepare to cut inside and shoot.

But the head coach of Saint-Étienne U19 had anticipated this.

Everyone knows that a new star has emerged from Monaco.

Saint-Étienne had already made specific arrangements before Mbappe came on.

Three players aggressively double-teamed Mbappe, squeezing out almost all the space around him.

Now there's a man on top of a man.

Mbappe appeared particularly isolated and helpless, surrounded by three tough, dark-skinned players.

Seeing that Mbappe was surrounded by multiple players, Jiang Ming knew that the stalemate could not continue, so he took the initiative to ask for the ball.

Mbappe understood perfectly, performed two bicycle kicks, and successfully shook off the defender in front of him, creating an opening.

He then made a short pass, sending the ball to Jiang Ming's feet.

Frederick's gaze was fixed intently on Jiang Ming.

Since Jiang Ming was substituted on, this kid hasn't shown any outstanding performance throughout the entire game.

He only knows how to pass the ball with one foot and doesn't even make any active runs. Frederick was about to start cursing.

Even if he had just recovered from an injury, it wouldn't be necessary for him to be walking around like this, would it?

Fortunately, he finally moved around.

With the ball in possession, Saint-Étienne's players immediately shifted their defensive focus entirely to Jiang Ming.

Frederick was also curious about how he should handle the current situation.

Jiang Ming stepped on the ball and stopped in place, without rashly dribbling forward.

The defender paused for a moment, and a thought immediately popped into his mind:

This kid's quite the actor!

He then accelerated forward, attempting to steal the ball.

But Jiang Ming seemed to have experienced countless instances of being forced to rob, and was quite familiar with the situation.

Just as the defender was about to tackle, he gently flicked the ball.

The ball slipped directly out of the opponent's tackling area.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Ming used a seemingly clumsy shoulder drop to cleanly and decisively shake off the defender.

The Saint-Étienne player fell flat on his backside.

The ball and the player have passed each other!

Upon seeing this, the Saint-Étienne U19 coach angrily shouted, "PUTA!"

This Chinese kid isn't very fast either!

How come our own player was faked out and let pass by so easily?

Crossing the street?

"Beautiful!" Frederick shouted excitedly.

When Frederick saw Jiang Ming stop the ball in place, a fire inexplicably ignited in his heart.

This is just delaying the offensive pace!

Just like Cristiano Ronaldo pedaling a bicycle in place.

Making unnecessary movements only to have them disrupted by defensive players is just asking to be robbed.

To everyone's surprise, Jiang Ming was deliberately luring the defenders to press the ball.

The subsequent shoulder drop dribble was also very beautiful.

The movements looked slow, but they were just right.

Frederick even saw Messi's shadow in this pass.

The most unpretentious and simple way to pass the ball!

"I'm not sure if this kid is just guessing. Let's wait and see."

……

On the field, Jiang Ming and Mbappe's combination play successfully broke through Saint-Étienne U19's defense.

Jiang Ming dribbled the ball all the way up to the edge of the penalty area.

Saint-Étienne U19's goalkeeper spread his arms wide, waving them up and down, his eyes fixed on Jiang Ming's footwork.

Jiang Ming paused, his lower leg swinging, clearly preparing to shoot.

The Saint-Étienne goalkeeper was on tenterhooks and immediately prepared to block the shot.

Judging from Jiang Ming's movements, it was clearly a low shot with a slight push of the instep, so he immediately went down to block it.

But just as the ball touched his foot, Jiang Ming changed his shooting method.

He changed his original low shot with the instep into a delicate chip shot!

The Saint-Étienne U19 goalkeeper, who had already stepped onto the ground, hurriedly reached out to stop the attack, but missed by a fraction of a second.

This half-inch distance is like a huge chasm that has been calculated in advance.

He could only watch helplessly as the ball flew into the goal and struck the net.

Frederick, standing on the sidelines, was completely unaware of his slightly agape mouth as he looked at the assistant coach beside him.

He's really not afraid of being kicked away!
