Star Coach

(Third update)

The transfer market is in full swing. Monaco has completed several signings early. The last signing, the veteran contract, is still in a saw with Real Madrid.

Campora gradually entered the state, and the negotiations with UEFA became smoother and smoother.

Bordeaux is Monaco's mortal enemy and will not sell the Champions League quota to Monaco at all. Moreover, the French Football Association has not made any efforts in it. It can't be bought, it can't be bought.

Fans continue to raise waves and support Monaco to enter the Champions League next season. Even in China, many fans are petitioning not to let the legend fall.

Well, it's a very powerful force. UEFA feels the recognition of the fans. This is a huge economic benefit, and they are relaxed.

This is a loophole in the rules. The defending champion should enter the Champions League next season, and the defending champion should be given a direct train.

Prince Albert's efforts in the periphery have gradually paid off. More and more teams support the defending champion to enter the Champions League next season. Finally, UEFA finally issued a "green card".

Monaco enters the Champions League next season, but Bordeaux's place will not be taken back from the first qualifying round.

In this way, there will be four teams in Ligue 1 that will be included in the Champions League next season, setting a historical record. This record was also brought by Jiangshan, accidentally.

With the Champions League through train, Monaco's signings have accelerated again. Morientes finally nodded and agreed to join Monaco, joining Monaco, which eliminated Real Madrid.

Official announcement, quick official announcement, and immediately join the team training.

Jiangshan and Campora witnessed Morientes' signing ceremony together.

"Welcome, Mr. Morientes, let's work together for the Champions League next season." Jiangshan smiled warmly, holding the old player who was older than him, and he didn't look young at all.

Morientes smiled professionally, "I believe in Monaco's ambition, and I believe in your ability even more. If it weren't for you, Real Madrid might have won the Champions League last season."

"In fact, there are no assumptions, we can only keep looking forward."

All the first-team players of Monaco are here. Jiangshan also announced the end of the summer transfer, and no more players will join.

Belletti was added to the backcourt, and Squirachi and others who have grown up are basically enough to cope with the season; the midfield has become the strongest part. The joining of Yaya Toure and Essien is strong enough in defense and organization. With the growth of Ribery, the team's wing blasting ability has not declined too much.

Hua Luo still needs experience. Although Jiangshan will give him a chance, he will not value his contribution too much. It will be about the same in three years.

In the forward position, Drogba, Smith and Morientes are a combination of old, middle-aged and young. They have impact and experience, as well as shooting and defensive abilities. As long as there are no major injuries, there will be no problem.

Monaco announced that it would no longer buy players, but did not say that it would no longer sell players. Yes, unknown marginal players such as Oshatogen and Polato were dealt with by the team to eliminate redundant personnel.

Throughout the summer, Monaco was seen as a big loss by the outside world. The four kings and the main midfielders were directly sent out, and the players who were added were all unknown players. Except for Morientes and Essien, who were a little famous, the others were not well-known.

The media was pessimistic about Monaco. In the list of French Ligue 1 champions released by the gambling company, Monaco was only ranked fourth, not as good as the defending champion Lyon, Marseille and Bordeaux.

In mid-July, the team started training, and the team started from the first round of the Champions League qualifiers, and the game tasks have appeared.

Guardiola was promoted to a formal assistant coach, and he had more work to do. He enjoyed this job. Jiangshan discussed with him for more than a day. The team's control this season will be stronger. Yaya Toure's organization and defense ability are very strong and can replace Zicos' role.

And with Essien in the backcourt, the team can attack with confidence without worrying about the defense being lost.

The most critical thing is that the current personnel configuration can play two conventional formations. If Ribery and Rodriguez start, the 442 formation is a must. If they don't start, the 433 formation is more comfortable. Yaya Toure also has a flirtatious long-range shot, and the offensive power of the midfield is not a problem.

During the qualifying matches, the two formations are familiar with the routine training, and countless formations can be evolved. Whether it is the Christmas tree or 4231, they can be familiar with it.

Morientes passes and helps in the frontcourt, and the growth of Drogba and Smith makes the team's prospects look bright.

Guardiola's eyes are dark, "Jiangshan, I want to ask you a question. It has been buried in my heart for a long time. I can't help but say it."

"You want to ask me why I can see the players so accurately? Really?" Jiangshan sat on the grass, looking at the players who were training hard, in a good mood. There is also time to chat with Guardiola.

This guy has shown the temperament of a sissy, talking a lot, asking questions all the time, annoying people. But he never talks about football, absolutely true love.

Guardiola's future success is also related to this personality. He is a perfectionist, which is essentially the same as Mourinho, but they just take different paths.

Guardiola nodded, "Well, not only is it accurate, but it is also very applicable. Look at the new players, except for Rodriguez, they are all plug-and-play. Every player bought last season has become a main player, which is amazing."

Guardiola doesn't like Rodriguez's style. He just trains, but he also likes to do some fancy things and show his skills? What he doesn't like even more is that Rodriguez always likes to tinker with his hairstyle.

Berry's dribbling is also good, but after the beating last season and the experience of the Champions League final, he has become much more stable and has the demeanor of a general. In time, his achievements will only be greater than Giuly.

"Actually, this question is very simple. I just know the players better. I often watch the players' game videos. As long as they are young players, I have watched their game videos." Jiangshan affirmed.

Guardiola was overjoyed and muttered in his heart, "I didn't expect Jiangshan to watch the game videos of young players in addition to playing with women. This energetic guy is really amazing."

The first game of the French Ligue 1 started in early August. Monaco's previous games were all about running-in the lineup and have already entered the Champions League play-offs. They still have time to prepare for the French Ligue 1. The first game is interesting. They will face the "mortal enemy" Bordeaux at home. The bulls they blew before will immediately pay off at this time.

Must win. Justify Jiangshan's signings and make a good start for the season. The game in August is not easy to play. In addition to facing Bordeaux, they will also face the French Ligue 1 champions Lyon and Paris Saint-Germain in succession.

Strong enemies are all around, but in Jiangshan's opinion, the most crucial game in August is the European Super Cup at the end of the month.

The Champions League champion vs. the UEFA Cup champion, the first dish to announce the official start of the exciting season, the attention of this game will be the highest in recent stages.

The venue is at the Louis II Stadium, where the European Super Cup is held every year. Monaco has a natural home advantage and will wear away uniforms at that time.

The champion of the UEFA Cup last season was Porto led by Mourinho. Two upstart teams, one won the Champions League and the other won the UEFA Cup last season, two young head coaches, shocked the world of football.

Mourinho's arrogance, which he has been planning for a long time, has finally been shown. When he was interviewed by reporters, he looked forward to the new season.

"In the new season, Porto will become the champion of the Portuguese Super League, there is no doubt about that. Under my leadership, if the team cannot win the championship, it will be a failure."

"As for the European Super Cup, I respect Jiangshan very much, and even admire him a little, but I will win the battle between us."

"This is my first battle with Jiangshan, and I will win the final victory. I am sure that he has made a major change in the Monaco lineup. We still keep the lineup of last season. Our tacit understanding is better, and we will win."

"Maybe Jiangshan may beat me in the future, but now, I will definitely beat him."

Sure enough, he is a madman. Mourinho came, showed his fangs, and bit Jiangshan hard. He had only one idea, facing Jiangshan, he wanted to be famous. Originally, the young Mourinho won the UEFA Cup and was in the limelight. Unexpectedly, the younger Jiangshan directly won the Champions League, and the difference was immediately judged.

Jiangshan became the biggest focus, Mourinho was just an embellishment, and he wanted to counterattack.
