Star Coach

Several Monaco executives were in a good mood. After seeing the excitement of the draw at UEFA headquarters, they felt that this kind of thing should be done by executives.

"Hehe, I had a meal with Florentino. I have to say that his ideas resonate with me. The interests of the team are supreme, and no individual can be above the team."

"I also had a meal with Kenyon. That bald guy is quite capable. He thinks that the boss is supreme, and the coach is nothing. The team should be decided by the boss, and the coach only needs to lead the team."

"Is this how Kenyon left Manchester United?"

There were discussions, and the executives were satisfied. If Jiangshan was suppressed, others would emerge. Monaco's reputation is no longer what it used to be, and Jiangshan cannot be left alone.

During this period, Jiangshan was very low-key, and other executives began to surface. The conflicts of interest gradually became clear. Even Albert and Campora were about to collapse. These officials seemed to be coming in with great momentum.

They wanted absolute control over the team, and Grand Duke Reinier turned a blind eye and watched the people below make trouble. Once the trouble started, problems would arise, and he could control them more easily.

White, a columnist for Le Parisien, continued to write articles, criticizing Jiangshan for monopolizing power in Monaco and not taking Monaco's top management seriously.

"Jiangshan is an ambitious man. He wants Monaco's shares. He wants to be Monaco's Ferguson."

"Monaco is dangerous. If it is invaded by the Chinese, Monaco Club will definitely have big problems. The biggest credit for the current results must be the top management. Their wise decisions have brought Monaco's good results."

Several consecutive articles pointed the finger at Jiangshan.

When Scarlett saw the article, she wanted to hide it so as not to make Jiangshan angry. Out of professional sensitivity, there may be more than a little interest in it, so she specifically checked the background of this White.

God, this guy is the unscrupulous reporter who questioned Hua Luo that day, challenged Jiangshan, and was then taught a lesson by Jiangshan and kicked out of the interview room.

I don't know what he has gone crazy for during this period. He keeps publishing articles in Le Parisien to slander Jiangshan.

Jiangshan looked at the anti-China newspaper with an ugly face, "This guy seems to have made a lot of money."

The relationship between Alijie and Jiangshan has been exposed, and there must be some clues. Jiangshan sneered, "Is the top management trying to get me? They can do anything and sell the news?"

He didn't trust the people in Monaco's management, so he asked Walker to investigate from the outside to see which top executives were involved in the camp against Jiangshan. If there are conflicts between the top executives, or if they are not targeting people, Jiangshan will not care, but as long as they want to target him, he will not let it go.

While secretly investigating, he continued to lead the team and continued to win.

The players didn't know that the relationship between Jiangshan and the top executives had undergone subtle changes, and they were still enjoying the happiness brought by continuous victories. It was simply a paradise on earth.

Facing Sterling, a team at the bottom of the league, Smith scored twice and showed a good state. Even Hua Luo scored a goal, and the growth rate continued to accelerate.

"The victory is dedicated to Jiangshan. He provided me with a lot of help. I am grateful to him." Hua Luo accepted an interview after the game and continued to support Jiangshan.

These words fell into the ears of those who had a glimpse, and it was another new report. Adding fuel to the fire, Hua Luo did not want to work in Monaco anymore, it was that simple.

In the 19th round of the league, Monaco challenged Rennes away. Drogba and Ribery showed their strength, and with Yaya Toure's pass and shot, they won 5:1 away against Rennes. Before the winter break, Monaco won all the league games, a crazy 18-game winning streak.

The next game will be on January 5 of next year, the French Cup. In the first round of the French Cup, facing a low-level league team, there is no suspense without looking. Monaco must win. Their winning streak continues, and their unbeaten record continues.

The whole of Europe is discussing Monaco's unbeaten record, which is already the longest unbeaten record in Europe in recent years. There is also an unbeaten team in the Premier League, Arsenal led by Wenger, which is also strong in the league.

Since the start of the season, they have not lost. Manchester United and Chelsea cannot stop them. They are in a strong momentum. But Monaco is even more powerful. They have maintained a winning streak in the league, with a magical record.

Monaco's top management saw the direction of public opinion and thought that Monaco was the center of the European vortex. They quickly strengthened their business operations, promoted more peripheral products, and began to attract title sponsors.

This is to learn from Manchester United and the Premier League's business model, gather more fans, and strengthen influence.

"The financial statements are out. The fourth quarter report has increased performance by 60% compared with last year. It's great. We will further improve it next year."

"We bought several players during the winter break last year, but we didn't buy any players this time. Does Jiangshan not plan to continue buying players?" The staff asked quietly.

"With such a strong lineup, who else should we buy? Jiangshan has strong people in his hands. I heard that the candidates were recommended to Jiangshan by the top management, or the top management has a better vision."

There were undercurrents among the Monaco management. Albert became very embarrassed and very passive. His identity was only a top management, not the chairman, and he was not qualified to make decisions.

Campora was not much better. The decision-makers required that the turnover in the first quarter of 2004 should be 50% higher than that of the previous season. Is that so easy? This is crazy.

He and Albert got together, feeling a little helpless. The palace fight during this period had exhausted him. "Jiangshan went to the United States for vacation?"

Albert's eyes were dark, and he was obviously not feeling well. "Yeah! Jiangshan is so carefree now, but we are almost collapsed."

"During the winter break, Jiangshan did not ask to buy or sell players, and he did not even ask to recruit youth players. I don't feel very reassured. Does he think we want to fire him?"

"No, he may be waiting." Albert knows Jiangshan well. "Too many clowns have jumped out of the club now. They are all fighting for power. Jiangshan will not get involved. He can see it clearly."

"I always feel that someone is fueling this matter." Campora looked at Albert. "I didn't expect that we would end up in the same boat. The current situation is hard to explain!"

Jiangshan appeared in the United States, a secret meeting. He tapped the table lightly, frowning. There were only three people around him, the short and strong Walker, with an ugly face; one was a young computer expert, King, one of Jiangshan's early employees, and few people knew his identity.

The other person had a round head and a scruffy beard, but he looked smart and capable. You could tell at a glance that he had studied accounting. The treasure that Jiangshan found last year was a senior staff member of ****, named Ed Woodward.

"It's very clear. The ambitions of these senior executives have been magnified. This is also a psychological warfare." Jiangshan smiled and felt happy, "But this method of adding fuel to the flames is quite powerful."

"What should we do next?" Woodward imitated taking a puff of cigar, "It will take at least a few years for Jiangshan to buy a team. We don't have enough experience, funds, and personnel, so we have to take it slowly."
