Star Coach

Chapter 93: Changing Tactics

Jiang Shan was deeply moved by Guardiola's spirit of working even though he was sick. He visited him every day these days and discussed tactical details with him. The two of them constantly collided with sparks of inspiration.

Then Jiang Shan left, and the excited Guardiola had to stay up late to revise...

"Coach, are you being too cruel when you employ people like this?" Scarlett looked at Jiang Shan nervously, a little disdainfully.

Jiang Shan seemed to care about Guardiola, and kept telling him not to stay up late, not to work overtime, and to take his time with the training system. But the ideas he expressed made Guardiola so excited that he couldn't sleep. He wanted to break his time in half and get out of work quickly.

Occasionally, it will be hinted that the team's performance is under great pressure, and it must quickly come up with a new training system to ensure the lower limit of performance. Doesn't this force Guardiola to stay up late and work overtime?

He has very little hair, and you want him to be completely bald?

"Scarlett, when you say that, you don't understand our work." Jiang Shan said righteously, "I work longer than anyone else on the team."

Well, Jiangshan even counts eating and drinking as working time, and entertaining is also productivity.

"The team gives me a salary, not for me to enjoy." Jiang Shan's voice gradually became louder. "I especially cherish the job opportunities. Thanks to the team, we all have job opportunities and high salaries."

"If the results are not good, everyone will lose their jobs. Why don't we work hard? Why don't we protect the team?" When Jiang Shan asked, Scarlett retreated in embarrassment. Jiang Shan smiled and did not continue to embarrass her. , "I understand your idea. Players should focus on training and games, but Guardiola is different. He will become a coach in the future, just like me."

"I just try my best to teach him what I know, so that he can have a better future, and let him remember that Monaco has given him a good enough platform. No matter where he is in the future, he will be grateful to Monaco, just like me too."

"Coach!" Scarlett whispered with tears in her eyes.

"Well said!" There was a sound of applause outside the door, and Prince Albert and several senior officials walked in. "Coach Jiangshan, you said it so well. I am very moved."

Albert put his arm around Jiangshan's shoulders and looked at several executives, "Tell me, just based on what I said just now, who else dares to say that Jiangshan is not good? Huh, you just believe it when it is written in the newspaper. You don't have any opinions at all. No."

"You guys... were just outside the door." Jiang Shan appeared at a loss, "Oh, blame me for not going out to greet you."

"No, no, no, we want to apologize for accidentally overhearing your words at the door. Now I am very sure that they misunderstood you and the whole thing has nothing to do with you." Prince Albert was very proud, "Look, look , I believe everything written in the newspaper.”

Of course Jiang Shan knew what was written in the newspaper, what was too much gossip and it affected Monaco's image, but these senior officials actually rushed over to question him.

If it weren't for his alertness, he wouldn't have been able to be kind today. Jiangshan knew that the game between the top management had already reached the coaching bench, and every step was difficult. He took advantage of Scarlett's words and took the opportunity to make an impassioned speech, but no one had anything to say.

Scarlett's feet were so frightened by the sudden appearance of several executives. She finally woke up, quickly prepared some coffee, and asked the guys to wash their mouths.

Now that Jiangshan has rescued itself, several senior executives did not want to get angry and quickly found reasons to leave. Albert said proudly, "How about it? I support you enough, right? If someone comes to trouble you, I will come over to help as soon as possible."

Jiang Shan rolled his eyes and said angrily, "If you want to seize class power, can you be a little smaller? If I can't even hold my position as head coach, let's see what you do."

"Hey, I have no choice but to take control as soon as possible. It feels great." Albert was ambitious. "I want to hold the Champions League in my arms. This is my dream."

"roll!"

The first league game after the winter break was an away game against Sochaux, and they won without any surprise.

After half a month of training, Pushauer and Nonda recovered well and scored easily. At the last moment, Jiangshan asked Alan Smith to come on as a substitute. The guy stole the ball from the defender and scored a long shot from outside the penalty area.

The score of 3:0 in the away game announced the return of the Monaco king.

Jiangshan breathed a sigh of relief. The players had not adapted to the new training method these days. Although there were still many problems on the field, there were no big problems when facing the French Ligue 1 team.

"Next season, we will really achieve results." Jiangshan is full of confidence.

Guardiola touched his head, excited and shocked, with an incredible expression, "Jiangshan, your tactics opened my eyes."

Cutting off the opponent's offense on the field and organizing local counterattacks, several aspects were impressive. In particular, they maintained a strong defense and the team kept a clean sheet.

In the next few games, the sequelae caused by the players' change of training methods finally broke out. The state on the field was very unstable and the team's performance stumbled.

In a narrow victory over Lens 2:1 at home, Rodriguez played with fire in the backcourt and lost the ball after being intercepted. Jiangshan withstood all the pressure.

"Rodríguez is just playing according to my tactical requirements. He has no responsibility. The responsibility lies with me. If he doesn't do this, I will kick his ass." Jiang Shan talked eloquently in front of reporters.

Facing Nantes away, Monaco lost 2:3. The goals of Drogba and Giuly failed to save the team and swallowed the bitter pill of failure.

"The counterattack of the frontcourt players was my tactical arrangement. It was also my responsibility that the opponent broke through. The players were executing according to my tactics." Jiang Shan continued to bear all the questions.

"I changed the training method, and it was difficult for the players to accept it. The results fluctuated. These were all within my expectations." Jiang Shan faced the microphone with a smile, "But we are still eighth in the league and have not fallen into the relegation zone, right?"

After Jiang Shan took over Monaco, Monaco's league points rate was second only to Lyon. Lyon has only lost one of the last 10 games, and its form is overwhelming and unstoppable.

After losing to Nantes, Monaco rebounded quickly. In the last game of January, facing the relegation zone Sedan team, they won the biggest score of the season.

6:2, Monaco's frontcourt was fully fired, and Sedan's new coach Dominic Butner almost shed tears. Who did they offend? Monaco's players collectively exploded?

Giuly and four forwards scored goals respectively, recording a big win. Another goal was scored by Ribery, the legendary son of Jiangshan.

After Ribery came on as a substitute, he passed three people and finally scored his first goal since joining Monaco. He was so excited that he rushed to Jiangshan on the sidelines and gave him a big hug. He almost called Jiangshan daddy.

After joining the team in the winter window, the hard-working Smith has scored two goals. His style of fighting for every ball is deeply welcomed by the fans and quickly conquered the fans of the Louis II Stadium.

In the next game, Monaco will play against the leader Lyon at home.
