Star Coach

Chapter 79 League

In recent days, Drogba even walked in a floating manner. He always had a smile on his face and was quite friendly. Whenever he saw people, he would say, "We have entered the second round of the Champions League group stage. I scored a goal."

In the end, everyone avoided him. This guy was too long-winded and kept talking. Why didn't I see it before?

Jiangshan was also helpless. What can I do when I encounter a weirdo?

On the one hand, he had to protect Drogba's fragile mentality and boost his confidence in scoring goals; on the other hand, he had to comfort other colleagues. Don't worry, he was just too excited after scoring a goal, and the excitement lasted longer. He was not stupid.

Fortunately, Drogba's mind was still clear. He just didn't score a goal and was booed by the fans of his country. He was depressed for too long. He almost recovered after releasing it. This guy even learned from the Chinese country's practice and bought Jiangshan a thank-you gift, a beautifully packaged Chanel cologne. He was grateful for Jiangshan's care and support for him all the time. He is now full of strength.

Jiangshan accepted the men's perfume, then frowned, "Are you satisfied with just one goal? It's only halfway through the season, and you've just scored one goal, and you're so proud? Are you on top of the world?"

Drogba stood awkwardly, not daring to speak.

"Shevchenko and Crespo's ball stops aren't like that, don't think I can't see it." Jiangshan laughed again, patting Drogba on the shoulder, "What you have to do now is to keep improving."

"I will give you enough opportunities in the league, your pressure has just begun, don't let me down."

"I understand, thank you coach." Drogba stood very straight, then bowed respectfully to Jiangshan.

"No, I'm not dead yet, hurry up and train for me." Jiangshan kicked Drogba's ass, and Drogba felt Jiangshan's kindness and was in a very good mood.

His wandering mood gradually settled down, he just scored one goal, I will land in a super giant in the future, follow Jiangshan closely, and continue to improve.

Ribery saw that Drogba and Evra both occupied the main positions, and his mentality was a little unbalanced. He was also brought in by Jiangshan. Although his starting point was a little worse, he was not too neglected.

Unexpectedly, Jiangshan also noticed Ribery's problem. After the training, he immediately stopped him and said, "I will let you start in the next league game. Don't let me down."

"Really?" Ribery tilted his mouth and shouted excitedly, "Will I replace Rothen or Giuly?"

"It's none of your business. Pay more attention to me in the training these days, otherwise I won't let you play." Jiangshan squinted his eyes. It was time to give Ribery a chance to play in the first team.

There is no reason not to give a chance to the people he brought in.

In the 15th round of the league, Monaco played against Ajaccio, which ranked 14th, at home. It seemed to be a battle evenly matched by outsiders.

Having just finished the Champions League group stage on November 12, they will play against Ajaccio on the 16th. The main players have not recovered their physical fitness. Jiangshan's first league game is also under great pressure.

Not to mention the Champions League, the team has been stable and has shown its characteristics; but the league is not worth commenting on.

Can the mental state of the players really support the long-term battle in the league?

Jiangshan still did not make too many changes and adjustments, and he focused on stability. During this period, he has not fully controlled the team and dared not play too crazy. He is not Sacchi, who can suppress the players for most of the season.

Fine-tuning, plus partial personnel rotation, to ensure the physical fitness of the players.

The most important thing is to cheer up the players and stimulate their spirits. Monaco's problem lies in the attitude of the players. If the attitude is not good, it is normal to lose to the relegation team.

Facing Ajaccio, Jiangshan put Giuly on the bench. Ribery appeared in the first team for the first time as a starter.

Drogba sat with Giuly, not starting, and looked confused.

After the change of coach, the freshness of Monaco players continued. Facing Ajaccio, they showed a completely different mental state from the first half of the season and crushed all the way.

The cooperation between the players was quite delicate, and every opportunity ball would be fought for. Pussor headed and kicked, and scored 2 goals in the first half.

Drogba was dumbfounded. Pussor's strength was even better than his. No wonder Jiangshan left him on the bench.

Ribery appeared on the right and performed mediocrely. He could not interact with the center forward. He dribbled the ball to the dead corner and was intercepted.

At the beginning of the second half, Monaco lost the ball. Ribery was intercepted near the center circle and then played a high-quality counterattack.

In the 60th minute of the game, Jiangshan made continuous substitutions. The commentators thought Ribery would be replaced, but he was not. It was Rothen on the left who was replaced.

Rothen was replaced by Giuly, and then Pussor was replaced by Drogba. Let Pussor accept the cheers of the fans.

Drogba was a little nervous when he saw Rothen leave the field. What could he do without Rothen's pass?

In fact, Jiangshan did not intend to let him do anything.

Giuly came on the field to harvest victory. He used continuous dribbling to teach Ribery how to cause damage. Giuly's power made Ribery feel more shocked when he was watching from the side.

Giuly came on the field for less than 5 minutes, and he used his personal ability to tear the opponent's defense line and assisted Nonda to score a goal.

The score became 3:1, almost locking the victory.

Drogba was surrounded by Nonda, Giuly and Ribery. He was under much less pressure and faced a relatively loose defense. Although his ball stopping and passing and shooting skills were awkward and seemed to be not yet at home, they were much better than before.

A kick hit the crossbar and missed the goal. Although the fans felt sorry, they stopped cursing Drogba, which made Drogba almost cry. This is a real fan!

Next to Giuly, Ribery didn't get it so quickly. He kept dribbling the ball against the wall. Even Drogba couldn't stand it and muttered a few words.

But Ribery was so carefree that he still went his own way. He was kicked so hard that his butt was about to split open, but he was still working hard.

Ajaccio could not pose a threat. Giuly got another chance and passed the ball into the penalty area. Drogba did not catch it and it looked like he deliberately missed it. Then Nonda received the ball.

Knocked down by the opponent, penalty.

Jiangshan shook his head. Drogba was lucky and asked him to take the penalty.

Drogba's shooting action was a bit strange. Several well-known styles were mixed together, which was too ugly, so he deceived the opponent's goalkeeper and easily scored.

The score became 4:1, and Monaco led by three goals. There were only 10 minutes left in the game, and the victory was locked in advance.

The biggest victory since the start of this season.

The mentality of Monaco players was more relaxed and they took control of the situation. Ribery had a lot of fun, constantly dribbling and breaking through. He also imitated Giuly and dribbled to the middle. He passed three people at a time and then passed the ball in seconds.

Bang!

Ribery flew up and fell to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.

Jiangshan quickly asked the team doctor to come on the field. He hit his head and couldn't continue the game. He was carried off on a stretcher after a while. He played well in the first game and even bled. There was a crack on his forehead, and the bright red blood oozed out. It was quite exciting.

Immediately change players, Squillaci came on the field, just do a good job of defense at the last moment. Squillaci is a French central defender, with good strength, but low reputation. Monaco's starting midfielder today also includes Plasil from the Czech Republic, who is also a player with strength greater than fame.
