NOVEL WEB Chapter 4
The team returned to Monaco late that night. Lei Ming was lying on his bed in the dormitory, searching for himself in this world. He grew up in an orphanage in Portugal. He was discriminated against because of his skin color. He had few friends around him. Only the kind-hearted director's wife took care of him, encouraged his growth and allowed him to join the player industry smoothly. It was also in this season that he was transferred to Monaco Club at the age of 20 for 100,000 euros. Although Monaco is an independent small country, they can compete in Ligue 1, and their performance in Ligue 1 is pretty good every year. Although they are not a strong team in Ligue 1, they are at least one of the top five European leagues. However, Monaco is not a very ambitious club. They have a very clear positioning, which is to make a living by selling players.
Last season, the team played well under the leadership of Jardim and successfully qualified for the Champions League this season. Originally, everyone thought that they would buy a few more suitable players based on this lineup to fight for the new season for the team to achieve better results, but in the end, Monaco's management did something that all fans scolded.
Under such circumstances, they directly sold all the four major players of the team last season at a high price. The senior executives who made tens of millions of euros by reselling them all smiled. In their words, "While it's hot, selling it for money is the kingly way."
As a result, this season's head coach Jardim was also messed up and started a small fight with a small amount of 5 million.
Vigorously supporting youth training players and introducing economical and affordable players from small teams became his main conditions for finding people.
Jonas Leiming was one of the goalkeepers who was accidentally rescued by the opponent in this plan.
Because one of the club's plans clearly specified that a yellow man should be introduced to attract the Asian market, Lei Ming was chosen by Monaco not because of his strength but because of his appearance.
After all, his appearance is really good, almost comparable to the young version of Chen Haonan, with tough facial features and a tall figure, a perfect male model standard.
When he focused on the goalkeeper's rules in his mind, this time, the content of the first page finally slowly opened to him.
The first rule of goalkeeper: [Negotiation skills]
(Communicating with the referee during the game has a bonus effect)
"A good goalkeeper cannot be without a sense of negotiation, and there is always room for negotiation in any situation."
Lei Ming looked at the content of the book in surprise, and was shocked!
The book can be turned, but the content on it is actually some football rules, as well as various techniques for negotiating with the referee.
What does a football player need this for?
He is not going to be a lawyer!
Others' cheat codes can make them stronger or earn money by winning, but he got such a useless ability.
However, no matter how he complained, there was only this content on it.
While he complained about the useless content, he still kept a try-it attitude.
When he tried to read all the content on it, a miracle happened. The negotiation skills on it actually changed.
[Negotiation skills 0.1%]
You can gain experience just by reading it once!
After that, he tried to read it several times. It took about ten minutes to read three pages of content. After he read it ten times, the negotiation skills finally increased to 1%. At this time, he had a lot of experience in football rules.
At about 12 o'clock in the evening, he finally fell asleep because he couldn't resist the sleepiness.
The next morning, Lei Ming got up at more than six o'clock to continue reading. He wanted to see what this thing was used for.
During this process, he found that reciting silently was useless. Only reading out loud could increase experience. However, he didn't have a book in his hand, and it was a bit strange to talk about it. So he would take a book with him wherever he went, and then read it when he had time.
In the morning, not only did he get up early, but other teammates also got up for morning jogging, especially the young players in the second team, who knew better than anyone that opportunities always come to those who are prepared.
If you want to have a high salary like the big brothers in the first team, you must work harder than them and try to replace them all.
Among these people, Mbappe, the rising star, is also included. Although he just signed a new contract and got a higher salary not long ago, he has no intention of moving out of the dormitory yet.
His goal is very simple, hoping that he can work harder to get closer to his idol. The dream of becoming a king has always been his dream, and being able to stand on the same field with the No. 7 man has always been his obsession.
For this reason, even though he has been recognized by many people for his strength, he still works hard to train, because he knows that his idol "God of War Luo" may be more hardworking than him.
While running, he saw that his partner who scored yesterday did not go for a morning run early in the morning, but was reading aloud at the door with a book. He couldn't help but curiously asked: "Hey, Lei Ming, what are you doing? Are you ready to change your career?"
Obviously he is a football player, but he is still reading a book early in the morning. This is clearly a sign that he doesn't want to do it!
"Ah, no, I'm not going to change my career. I'm reading the rules of football. You keep running and don't worry about me."
Mbappe looked at the other party with a suspicious face, feeling very strange. He performed so well yesterday, why is he still so negative?
When he thought of the goal yesterday, Mbappe was particularly praised, because it was really comfortable, and it completely made him fully play his speed advantage. If there were a few more such goals in the future, he might be able to score a few more this season.
Seeing that the other party was still reading seriously, he just shook his head helplessly and then devoted himself to the morning run.
In this way, until the team training time, he finally completed the challenge a hundred times, and his negotiation skills quickly increased to 11%. At this moment, he instantly felt that he seemed to have grasped something very important and had a better understanding of the details of some game rules.
When all the players arrived at the stadium on time, head coach Jardim also came over with the coaching team in time.
As soon as he came up, he announced a very bad thing to the team: "There is something very regrettable that needs to be announced to you. Subasic was seriously injured in the game, so the main goalkeeper in the next game will be Lei Ming. I hope everyone can give him more help in the days to come."
Lei Ming was not surprised at all. Let alone his performance yesterday, he was the only goalkeeper left in the team, so he had to do it no matter how bad it was! What's more, he assisted a goal yesterday!
Everyone agreed with this. After all, they heard last night that Subasic was seriously injured after the game, and although Lei Ming's performance yesterday was very bad at the beginning, the last goal also proved himself.
After announcing the matter, Jardim arranged for everyone to start today's recovery training, hoping to be in the best condition to welcome the home game against the Premier League team Tottenham in the fourth round of the Champions League group stage in a few days.
Although Monaco has changed a lot of players this season, under the patchwork of head coach Jardim, they have created a magical young team.
In the 13th round of the French Ligue 1, they have 9 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, and 29 points, ranking second in the league, only 4 points behind Nice, the leader.
In the Champions League, their group stage results are amazing, with two wins, two draws and eight points, ranking second in the group.
Even Jardim himself did not expect the team's performance this season to be so good. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a dream start, but he dare not take it lightly, because the biggest problem of the team is that the depth of the bench is not enough. The later the league is, the more obvious the disadvantages of teams like them will be.
Although the group bonus has reached the club's goal, who would complain about the bonus? Jardim still wants to lead the team to share the bonus of the top 16, because this goal does not seem to be difficult.
After all, with their current results, this bonus is still very competitive.
