Chapter 939: Tactical Strategist Girard

Montpellier coach René Girard is in a rare good mood.

As the defending champion of the Ligue 1, Montpellier, who created a miracle and won the championship last season, performed surprisingly well this season.

In the first four rounds of Ligue 1, Montpellier had one draw and three losses, ranking second from last.

As the head coach of Montpellier, René Girard is naturally under a lot of pressure.

In the fifth round of Ligue 1 just two days ago, Montpellier finally won.

Three to zero victory over the strong enemy Sochaux team.

Whether it is the result or the process of the game, Montpellier performed well, which made Girard a lot less pressure.

He once told the media after the game that the team only experienced a small difficulty in the beginning stage. Now, Montpellier, which has regained the rhythm of the winning game, is still very strong.

Moreover, being able to regain the feeling of victory before the first game of the UEFA Champions League group stage comes, which also makes Girard think it is good news.

In terms of his conversation with his assistants, it is: Montpellier can now consider the game against Aston Villa with full fighting spirit and enthusiasm.

When the lottery result came out, René Girard expressed satisfaction with the lottery result.

In a group with Aston Villa, Schalke 04 and Olympiacos.

As a team in the fourth tier, Montpellier avoided the strong teams in the second tier, Manchester City, and also avoided the strong teams such as Juventus and Ajax in the third tier. expected.

Yes, Girard really felt that he was lucky in this group, a real good signing.

In his vision, Aston Villa will get the first place in the group, while Montpellier's goal is to get the second place in the group.

Girard counting the points Montpellier will need to qualify for the group stage.

Obviously, the direct duels with Schalke 04 and Olympiacos are the most important.

Two wins over two legs for Olympiacos is a must, and that's six points.

Then there are two games against Schalke 04. They must win the opponent at home and try to draw with Schalke 04 away.

That's 10 points.

Given that Aston Villa is thriving, if Montpellier can get 10 points, this can basically ensure that the group will qualify.

Then, Girard hesitated again. He went to the Schalke Stadium to face Schalke in an away game. It is not easy to draw the opponent away. What if they lose?

Girard finally concluded that Aston Villa is too strong, and it is difficult for other teams to score points against Aston Villa.

Because of this, if Montpellier can draw with Aston Villa at home in tomorrow's game and get this crucial point, it will give Montpellier an advantage in comparison with other teams .

Yes!

The first game of the group stage was against Aston Villa. This was the first game of Montpellier's return to the Champions League after many years.

This game cannot be lost, and it is necessary to strive for a draw with Aston Villa. This is very important for the team's trend in the Champions League, the final qualifying, and the team's morale.

"In the game against Aston Villa, our goal is to tie the opponent and get points from Villa!" In the pre-war meeting the day before the game, René Girard said his goal.

Other players on the coaching staff have no objection to this.

If Girard said that the goal was to upset Aston Villa at home, they might feel that Girard had lost his cool.

But a home draw against Aston Villa?

Montpellier is the champion of Ligue 1, and the Ligue 1 champion draws the Premier League champion at home. It seems that it is not too difficult... right.

Then, Girard said in an interview with the French national TV station, "Montpellier is the champion of Ligue 1, and we have the responsibility to maintain the honor of Ligue 1. We are confident of winning this game!"

When he said these words, with a faint smile on his face, he seemed full of confidence.

...

This remark also made the media in France, especially Montpellier, very excited.

"Girard has an infectious smile and looks confident."

"Although this is Montpellier's first Champions League after so many years, the team seems to have good morale."

"Montpellier Tribune" even said in a playful tone: Girard is Fang Jue in Ligue 1, and we expect him to lead Montpellier to create Fang Jue and lead Aston Villa back to the Champions League. Performance, and the first game is against Aston Villa, this is simply a wonderful script.

Yes, because leading Montpellier, which has not returned to Ligue 1 for two years, won the Ligue 1 championship, especially overpowering the local tyrants Paris Saint-Germain and the old Ligue 1 overlord Lyon, the miracle of Montpellier is considered It is the Ibiza miracle of Ligue 1, and Montpellier coach René Girard is praised as the Fang Jue of Ligue 1.

You see, Di Matteo is known as Chelsea's Fang Jue.

Girard is known as the Fang Jue of Ligue 1.

Our Mr. Fang Jue has achieved such a great reputation and has become a role model.

The coaching staff was surprised why Girard suddenly said such "confident" words.

Aides questioned whether it was suspected of provoking Aston Villa.

"It's nothing." Girard said calmly, expressing his belief in victory before the game, it's not a big deal, it's normal.

Everyone said that Fang Jue was gentle and gentle, he would understand and would not consider it provocative.

"Also, our goal is to draw with Aston Villa, now, I said we want to win, why did I do that?" Girard asked the assistants.

"Rene, you are trying to confuse Aston Villa." An assistant said immediately.

"That's right!" Gillar nodded.

"Then why don't we show weakness? That is also confusing Aston Villa." Someone raised an objection.

"That won't work. We are already weaker than Aston Villa. Showing weakness has no surprise effect." Someone said, "The boss's method is the most suitable. Anyone who hears those words will really think that we are trying to win at home. ball."

"As expected of the boss." The man gave a thumbs up.

Girard nodded and smiled.

Whether to show weakness to confuse the opponent, or to show toughness, he was also hesitating before.

Later he made a decision to show his strength.

This is even more unexpected.

Now that his strategy has won the praise of his assistants, Girard is quite proud.

Now is the most beautiful period of Girard's coaching career, and it can be said to be proud of it.

He applauds his strategy:

Please call me Ji. Tactics. La. Master. Er!

Lei Jinuo, who is relatively young in the coaching staff, wanted to remind him not to be self-defeating, but to stimulate Aston Villa, but after looking at the crowd, Lei Jinuo, who is the youngest in the coaching staff, finally did not speak. .
