Star Coach

(Fourth update)

This season, Monaco can only be regarded as a fourth-tier team. It feels a bit strange to come in from the outside. But here they come.

The rhythm of the grouping is very fast. First, the seeding teams are drawn and grouped into categories. The eight seeded teams are Bayern, Arsenal, Depor, Juventus, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Lazio and AC Milan. Inter Milan, Chelsea, and Porto are all only second-tier teams. As long as they are divided into these teams, they can be called the group of death.

Including Monaco in the fourth pot, if they are put together, they will be a super group of death. The group stage will be miserable, let alone the knockout stage.

Monaco was lucky. The factors from the previous life reappeared and they were assigned to Group C where Deportivo La Coruna was located. They were not in the same group as strong teams like Chelsea and Porto.

The four teams in Group C are the same as the previous one, Deportivo La Coruna, PSV Eindhoven, AEK Athena and Monaco. Their strength is relatively balanced. Monaco's current strength is superior to the group and there is no big problem in qualifying.

Jiang Shan smiled, "I didn't expect that there would be Lao Welfare. It seems that it is very possible to continue to enter the Champions League finals this season."

I thought he had changed history and the situation this season would be completely different. There were changes in other groups, but not much in Monaco's group.

The pressure on Jiangshan has dropped sharply. No matter what, they have to reach the Champions League final. They hope that Porto will enter the final, which is exciting. Last season's Champions League champion and UEFA Cup champion will meet in the new season's Champions League final.

The two teams have just met in the Super Cup. Jiangshan is sure to kill Mourinho again, but will history repeat itself like in the previous life? Unlikely.

Jiang Shan felt something cold behind his back. He looked back and smiled with professional courtesy.

Well, the head coaches of Deportivo La Coruña, PSV Eindhoven and AEK Athena all stared at him with depression in their eyes.

Who wants to team up with this lunatic? Is UEFA going against the rules? Jiang Shan is already the most popular young coach in Europe. Even veteran coaches are troublesome, let alone the head coaches of several quasi-rich clubs?

"Forget it, let's fight for second place."

"Forget it, let's fight for a spot in the UEFA Cup!"

The head coaches of the three teams were depressed and silently comforted themselves. Jiang Shan touched his nose. It seemed like he hadn't offended them, right? Why do you think of me as your mortal enemy?

At the end of the lottery, some people were happy and some were sad.

Real Madrid and Porto were grouped together, and Queiroz couldn't bear it. After all, Mourinho was his fellow countryman. When they met at this time, he always felt a little guilty for killing his majesty.

Arsenal and Inter Milan are in a group, and Wenger is sharpening his skills. It's time to produce results. They are killing everyone in the Premier League this season. Even if Ronaldinho joins Manchester United, they still can't shake Arsenal's strong position.

The upstarts of the Premier League, Chelsea and Lazio, have long wanted to win the group top spot and declare themselves worthy of the huge amount of money Abramovich invested.

After the draw was over, Ranieri wore thick glasses and walked toward Jiangshan, "I have heard about Kenyon's request for you. Chelsea is a private owner after all, and it is not easy to work here, but I still thank you for your words."

Jiang Shan smiled sweetly and said, "I respect every head coach. The team is not a plaything, and messing around will only cause bigger troubles. You are the most suitable head coach for Chelsea at this stage."

The team has just changed its owner. It is best to be stable for a year and see the results. Changing the coach rashly can easily lead to instability. If it were Jiang Shan, he wouldn't be sure to suppress the big guys in the Chelsea team. He is still young and Chelsea has many veterans, so they may not necessarily buy it.

Monica licked her lips and stared at Jiangshan in retrospect, "When will you go back to Germany? Enjoy your vacation? I heard that Heidi Klum and the others miss you very much."

Jiang Shan was worried in his heart. We are all good friends who play firecrackers together. We must not fall in love for a long time. If the fire has no eyes, it will be bad if it hurts. It would be very embarrassing if it accidentally kills someone.

"If I have the chance, I will go to Germany. I like the scenery there, the simple folk customs, and the people." Jiang Shan is confident and generous, making people think he is talking about business.

Monica lifted her long legs and said, "Remember to call me, I'll wait for you."

Jiang Shan's palms are a little itchy. Monica always likes to tickle his palms when shaking hands. His palms are itchy, and his heart is also restless. He is not talented and is ready to make a move.

Alas, I can only go back to Monaco one day later. The disadvantage of having many friends is that I often have to socialize.

…………

The first round of the Champions League group stage only starts in mid-September, so each team has time to inspect their opponents and prepare for the Champions League.

Prior to this, the sixth round of the French Ligue 1 was carried out normally. Monaco challenged Lille away and Huaro returned early.

But the performance was average, with no goals and no assists. Hua Luo played the whole game and was still very coquettish in the game. He kept provoking his opponents with his skills and was knocked down 5 times. It was considered a highlight.

After the injury, the golfer actually regressed. Jiangshan is helpless, young players are like this, their performance is unstable, sometimes they are like gods, sometimes they make people want to beat them to death with a stick.

Facing Lille, Yaya Toure and Morientes scored, and the team won away from home and continued to lead the standings.

At the same time, Marseille lost this round, and the top spot in the standings was exclusively occupied by Monaco.

The reporter asked about Hua Luo's performance, and Jiang Shan once again stood up for him, "He has just come back, it is difficult to expect a good performance. This is a young player, and there will definitely be psychological shadow after injury."

"But I have great confidence in him. He will recover and quickly surpass his previous performance. Everyone will wait and see."

Of course, Ronaldo was injured and was originally scheduled to miss three games. Jiangshan praised the team's medical team for returning early. "I thank the team's medical team. They did a great job. Not only did they let Ronaldo return early, but they also kept Morientes in good competitive form. I have more options for arranging the troops. This is a happy trouble."

Declaring to the outside world that the team's medical conditions are good will unconsciously give the players enough confidence. In fact, it is more important to prevent players from over-fatigue and better protect themselves during the game.

After the French Ligue 1, the Champions League group stage started quickly. The first round is an away challenge to Eindhoven. Facing an open game, it is not easy to play.

Monaco needs a victory to lay the foundation for this season's Champions League.

Eindhoven, Ajax and Feyenoord are known as the three major Dutch football teams. They once won the Champions League in 1988.

The team has been in strong momentum in recent years. Last season, they won the Eredivisie championship. In their previous life, PSV Eindhoven also won the Eredivisie championship for three consecutive years. In 2005, they reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, losing to AC Milan. In 2007, they eliminated Arsenal and reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League. At that time, Chinese player Sun Xiang came on as a substitute and protected the ball in the corner flag area, making an indelible contribution to the team's promotion.
