NOVEL WEB Chapter 91
The team was very happy, and the fans were very excited for a long time.
Winning the Champions League semi-finals really made Monaco fans excited for a long time. Many people remember that day as their happiest day, because they haven't felt it for too many years.
The team has been able to reach this point in major cup competitions this season, and they are really satisfied.
But for Monaco's players, the tight time did not allow them to digest the victory they just won. Two days later, they went to the Gerland Stadium again to challenge Lyon, who is currently in the fifth place in the league.
This was also the nominally strongest opponent Monaco encountered in the final stage of the league. Fortunately, the game was successfully won with a score of 1:2. However, because of this game, Monaco's already weak defense was further damaged. The injury of the main full-back Germelson is undoubtedly a huge loss for Monaco at this stage.
According to the diagnosis given by the team doctor, Germelson has almost no chance of playing in the next game, which means that his season has ended early.
At the moment of injury, Germelson even shed tears of self-blame.
Because everyone knows that they really can't afford to be injured now. Seeing that they are getting closer and closer to the French Ligue 1 championship, they must not let down the chain at this time!
For this reason, Falcao, the captain of the team, specially comforted this kid after the game.
Everyone recorded a video in the locker room as a gift of comfort to him: "Gemerson, don't worry, you take good care of yourself, we will definitely let you feel what it feels like to win the championship while lying down."
"Gemerson, I heard that you cried today, don't worry, look at the man next to me, the French Ligue 1 top scorer is here, what else do you have to worry about, just lie down!"
...
Gemerson looked at the VCR sent to him by his teammates on the hospital bed, but he couldn't help but secretly wiped his tears.
Yes, he has nothing to worry about now, all he needs to do is cheer for his teammates.
Although he is gone, everyone else is great.
They have the sharpest offensive combination in Ligue 1, the demon star Mbappe and the tiger Falcao. Although the former is still young, he has now become the offensive core of the team. He and the French Ligue 1 top scorer Tiger Falcao are currently the most important offensive cores of Monaco.
This season, Mbappe's progress can be described as riding a rocket. Not only did he quickly occupy the main position, he even performed well in major competitions. In the Champions League, he followed closely behind his idol Cristiano Ronaldo, which was dazzling.
The rise of veteran Falcao was also unexpected by everyone, and the terrifying firepower displayed by the opponent surprised everyone.
Falcao's second spring came so suddenly that no one expected it.
They have the most tacit midfield in Ligue 1, B席, Fabinho, Moutinho, Bakayoko, Thomas Lima, etc. These midfielders almost all have their own accurate long pass ability, which is also the most critical place for Monaco to fire at full power this season.
Among them, B席 is the best. He not only has accurate long passes, but also has a deadly through pass ability. He also has a long shot that can often kick out world waves. It is precisely because of his connection that Monaco's offense always becomes so smooth.
Compared with the first two excellent configurations, their defense seems a bit lame, but after the unremitting efforts of him, Glik, Sidibe, Toure and others, the tattered defense line was patched up by them all the way. Among them, the one they are most grateful to is undoubtedly the team's goalkeeper Lei Ming.
They must admit that without him, they would never have gone so smoothly this season.
It was his wonderful performance again and again that made the stumbling Monaco move towards the championship like a child who just learned to walk.
"Gemerson, don't worry, I'm here in the end! Lie down obediently, I will definitely take you to the stage to receive the award."
At the end of the video, Lei Ming said to the camera with a smile, and also domineeringly gave the other party a promise to receive the award.
At this moment, looking at the domineering Lei Ming, Gemerson firmly believed that they could do it.
Because Lei never brags.
.......
Three days later, on April 27, Monaco will once again go to the Parc des Princes to challenge Paris Saint-Germain.
.
This was a French Cup match. The top four needed to decide the winner in the next match. Although Lei Ming still started the match and played the whole game, in the end, because most of the team's main players were on the bench, they still couldn't make it to the end.
In the end, they lost to Paris Saint-Germain 2:0, thus losing the opportunity to continue.
Compared with the cup, Jardim obviously attaches more importance to the team's performance in the league. With the last four games left in the league, he no longer dared to risk letting the main players compete for the cup. Now they really can't afford it.
Therefore, he almost gave up the right to compete for the cup with his own hands, and instead concentrated on letting the team put the remaining energy into the league and the Champions League.
However, Jardim's indifference made Lei Ming very uncomfortable.
Although he had exerted all his strength in high-level defense, he was ultimately unable to defend against Paris Saint-Germain's offensive tide, and Cavani firmly grasped the only two opportunities.
Of course, he also understood that the coach did this for the sake of the overall situation, but it was clear that as long as they persisted in one more game, they could win the first championship. Giving up without fighting like this really upset Lei Ming, who has always been strong in character.
He didn't like the feeling of losing, and he didn't like the feeling of giving up when the championship was not far away.
Although he worked hard and did everything he could, he couldn't stand the lack of strength from his teammates.
For the first time, he realized how terrible it was for the team to have no depth.
On the court, there have always been mixed joys and sorrows. Unlike Lei Ming's depression, Paris Saint-Germain's top scorer Cavani was really happy this time.
After scoring two goals he had always dreamed of, he felt that his thoughts were much clearer.
After the last match, Lei Ming undoubtedly became a nightmare for him. He could not forget the game and every shot that was shut out by the opponent almost every day.
For this reason, he worked hard during this period, hoping that the two would meet again one day.
I just didn't expect that the two of them would have such a good fate and meet each other again in the cup.
Facing Monaco who gave up the game voluntarily, Cavani was very unceremonious in winning the victory for the team, which was considered to be a small face-saving move for Monaco.
