Although there were still more than half of the seats in the stands, the fans were singing and dancing, and the scene was like a grand festival.

At the age of 18, in his second season, with a hat-trick in the half, Mbappe managed to ignite everyone's passion.

In the games that followed, every touch of the ball was met with cheers.

Monaco's vice-president Vasilyev was very proud of his insistence that the 18-year-old had been given constant opportunities to play, and now it finally paid off, and Mbappe broke out completely.

And next to Vasilyev sat President Nasser of Greater Paris.

Nasser, who has swept Ligue 1 and is now desperate for the Champions League, is also eager to find talent, and he has not hidden his yearning for Mbappe, a talented player.

Nasser had even hinted at Vasilyev in previous meetings that money was definitely not a problem, and as long as Monaco was willing to release him, Paris would definitely make the most lucrative offer.

In the last meeting, based on the advice of his staff member Kluivert, Nassr and Vasilyev only explored the possibility of other forms of trade besides Mbappe, such as packing two or three players including Mbappe at the same time, or adding individual players from Paris to the deal.

He did not show his interest in Li Liang, firstly, because he also wanted to see if Li Liang could have a stable performance.

Another reason is that the 18-year-old Mbappe is undoubtedly more worthy of being chased by Paris, which is also the unanimous opinion of dozens of scouting reports on Mbappe on the Nasser shelf, as well as the club's management.

The two leading figures of Ligue 1 had their own thoughts, sitting in the VIP seats and watching the game intently.

Rennes came down by three goals and let go, and after unloading all their baggage, these little-known players began to give it a go. Monaco also played a little relaxed after taking a three-goal lead, which made the scene fierce again.

Towards the end of the first half, Mbappe fell to the ground after colliding with defender Rangeni during a breakaway, and the audience was booed heavily.

Vasilyev and Nasser frowned at the same time, and the Russians even waved their hands in displeasure.

Grimandi also stood up, just as nervous, and even if he wasn't tasked with keeping an eye on Mbappe, he didn't want anything to happen to the talented young man.

The referee blew the whistle and verbally warned Rangeni, who immediately waved the team doctor to enter the field after taking a look at Mbappe who had fallen to the ground.

Yaldim immediately got up and went to the sidelines, nervously watching the team doctor Parker and his assistants as they entered the field.

After some inspection, Parker gave a thumbs up to his height, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

To the relieved applause of the audience, Mbappe finally stood up with Parker's support, and he limped off the field to receive treatment.

The first half of the game went into stoppage time, and Yildim directly signaled Mbappe, who had completed his treatment, not to play.

Vasilyev shook his head and complained about the Rennes foul at Nasser, who echoed and said: "There is no need for Kylian to continue to insist, even the League Cup winner is not worth risking his health!" ”

Sure enough, after returning to the locker room at halftime, even though Mbappe repeatedly said that he had no big problems and could continue to play, Yaldim still decided to replace Mbappe with Li Liang for the sake of insurance!

Hearing this decision, Li Liang didn't react for a while.

Although Gaudino told himself that he would get the opportunity to play in this game before entering the stadium, Li Liang thought that it would be after the regular substitution time after the second half was halfway through, but he didn't expect to play directly in the second half!

As soon as the tactical arrangement at halftime was over, Spinoli slapped Li Liang on the back and shouted: "Come on, Li, let's go warm up!" ”

Before half-time break, Gaudino saw Li Liang be the first to run out of the players' tunnel, and with the help of Spinoli and Vieira, he began to warm up nervously, and he smiled with satisfaction.

From the first day he arrived in Latubi, Yaldim, who was known as a "scholar" coach from the outside world, always hoped that Gaudino would find time to professionally guide his team.

As the world's No. 1 physical training expert, Gaudino has been noncommittal about this proposal.

After spending two days getting to know Li Liang, he finally agreed to Yaldim's request - but put forward one condition: he hoped that Yaldim could give Li Liang at least 20 minutes of playing time in the not so important League Cup, so that he could complete the task arranged by Lippi and fully understand Li Liang's true condition.

Yaldim happily agreed to this condition, he not only kept his promise, but also gave Li Liang 45 minutes of playing time in the half.

Grimandi was in good spirits and immediately focused on observing, with less than five minutes to go before the start of the second half, and he believed that with Li Liang on the field, these recent doubts will be revealed.

The fans were not forgetful, seeing the team's Champions League champion who won the first place in the group, and the hero Li Liang in everyone's minds was expected to play, and they all sent applause and cheers.

Grimandi smiled, judging from the reaction of the fans, the reason for being hidden in the snow should not be from Li Liang.

Gaudino was also a little surprised, although he had seen the video and heard the descriptions of Pezzotti and De Rosso, he was still a little surprised by the high popularity of Li Liang's scene.

Seeing this scene, Vasilyev's face was displeased, he always thought that although Li Liang showed amazing strength after coming to Latubi, and in order to sign Li Liang, he had made a special trip to Haicheng 3 times, but Yardim's previous reuse of Li Liang was absolutely unacceptable!

Unlike the average club executive, Vasilyev has the vicious eye of a professional scout when it comes to identifying players' potential.

He proved to be very wise to look at Mbappe, and the 18-year-old Mbappe, who came from the pure French youth system, must have a better future than Li Liang, a 26-year-old amateur master from Haicheng, China.

From a businessman's point of view, Vasilyev is not wrong at all, and he values the commercial rewards that a player may bring in the future more than competitive value.

Nasser smiled and finally couldn't help but ask, "How did you find a player like No. 17?" ”

Vasilyev's heart was shocked, as Monaco's biggest rival in Ligue 1 and as his old customer, when he asked for Kurzava two years ago, Nassr's way of bringing in reinforcements at no cost made Vasilyev impressed.

Completely contrary to himself, Nasser, who has the country's financial resources behind him, does not think about the economic balance and other problems, he only pursues honor, and is willing to send Grand Paris to the highest podium in Europe at any cost.

Vasilyev looked at Nasser with some surprise, knowing that the Qatari, who was a major player in advanced world football, had a capable style and would never say meaningless nonsense.

Vasilyev turned his gaze back to the field, and the second half of the game began immediately.

Li Liang stood on the sidelines and prepared to play, and the stands once again burst into warm applause. 21010
