Chapter 914 Are You Okay?

There is an old saying in China that you will never die until you reach the Yellow River, and you will not shed tears when you see talent.

That's the way people are, they don't give up until the truth comes.

Before the game, the political and business celebrities in Monaco were somewhat skeptical of Yang Huan's statement that Monaco would lose.

Although they did not refute on the surface, their eyes showed dissatisfaction.

But when the game started less than ten minutes ago, when Southampton took the lead in knocking on Monaco's goal with Suarez's goal, they couldn't believe it or not.

It should be said that from this moment on, the game has completely lost its meaning.

You can see this by looking at the head coach Koeman.

At the beginning of the game, Koeman asked the players to fight resolutely, flashing their bayonets, with the spirit of fighting Southampton to the end, but when Suarez scored a goal, Koeman immediately asked the team to re-stabilize their defense.

Because he knows that when the strength is far inferior to that of his opponents, what awaits Monaco will be a massacre, which is unacceptable for Monaco, which is playing at home.

Even Prince Albert, who was sitting next to Yang Huan, couldn't help shaking his head and sighing when he saw Suarez score a goal and Koeman signaled the team to retreat, "They really did their best!"

The subtext of this sentence is actually saying that the strength gap between the two sides is too great.

Although the others were somewhat unconvinced, they had to admit that the gap in strength was indeed huge.

Seeing them like this, Yang Huan was not at all proud or happy.

Both teams were his, and he was doomed to remain neutral, whoever would win.

And he knew in his heart that Monaco was worth it in the semi-finals!

If Monaco is unexpectedly upset and enters the final, whether they meet Bayern Munich or Atletico Madrid, will they have a chance of winning?

Do not make jokes!

impossible!

Regardless of whether Monaco meets any of these two teams, they will not have any chance of winning, and even in the end, it will only affect Monaco's long-term development.

perhaps,

In the eyes of many people, this is very strange. Why is it worse to reach the final than to stop at the semi-final?

Judging from the income of the club, the finals are of course more rewarding.

But if you look at it from the perspective of the human heart?

Entering the finals is a matter of life and death. In theory, both sides of the opponent have a chance to win, but the probability is only small.

But just like gambling, before the cup is revealed, everyone thinks that they will win, and is even willing to bet heavily for this faint hope, but after the cup is revealed, they find that they have lost, and the gap in their hearts is enough to overwhelm them. Beat a tough guy with a strong will.

Gambling is not bad, if you lose this one, you will come back to the next one.

But what about the Champions League final?

How many Champions League finals can a player have in his career?

Even if they are superstars as strong as Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, how confident are they that their team can reach the Champions League final?

Therefore, in a Champions League final, players almost gamble with all their career hopes.

If they lose, the blow to them will be extremely heavy!

Then what?

The club has reaped a lot of income, the fans are unhappy, the players are unhappy, the club has to continue to invest more, continue to bet on the Champions League, continue to fight, this is simply like a red-eyed gambler.

What if the club were sane?

In the next season, if they stop at the top 16 or the top eight, the fans will be sprayed to death immediately.

Nimi, he reached the finals last season, but this season is not as good as last season. What is the management doing?

Then the management took the blame, the head coach took the blame and resigned, and the team was in turmoil.

Therefore, to reach the Champions League final, it is best to be able to win the championship, and if you cannot win the championship, then it is best not to enter the final.

The defeat in the Champions League final last season dealt a heavy blow to Atletico Madrid.

And this season, when Simeone and Atletico Madrid's management were drafting the team's season strategy, Yang Huan said that no matter what the attitude of the fans, there is no performance pressure in the Champions League. The league keeps the top three and strives to win the championship.

Why?

Because winning the La Liga championship, Θ is more sure of winning the Champions League!

As a result, Atlético Madrid was the leader in La Liga and reached the semi-finals of the Champions League.

According to Yang Huan's estimation, Atletico Madrid can't pass the hurdle of Bayern Munich, and the strength gap between the two sides is not small.

But it's a good thing!

Simeone's team fell in the final last year. The players can come out of the shadows and enter the semi-finals, which proves that the strength of this team is strong enough. In just two or three years, the players will fully mature and belong to Madrid. The era of competition has come.

The same is true of Monaco's current situation. Falling in the semi-finals is undoubtedly the most ideal result.

In this way, they will have something to look forward to, and the players' spirits will not be broken, and they will continue to fight for the Champions League final.

As for when we can reach the Champions League final, or even the semi-final, God knows?

No, just as Yang Huan had this thought in his mind, Prince Albert had already spoken.

"Master Huan, this summer, the team has to strengthen the signings, and strive to do a big job in the Champions League next season!"

Yang Huan felt amused in his heart, look, that's the tone.

Really think that the young master of your Jiahuan is the local tycoon of the Qatar consortium!

My family's money is not dug out from the ground. It is not easy to make money, uncle!

"Now Monaco, I can't afford it!" Young Master Huan shook his head and sighed earnestly.

When Prince Albert heard this, he frowned, "What do you say?"

"Among the midfielders, Tulalan is old, Biglia is 29 years old, especially Biglia, he and Navas are very popular now, the team's metabolism must also be put on the agenda, the striker We need to strengthen signings..."

Speaking of this, Young Master Huan looked at Prince Albert, "Tell me, Your Highness, how do you fix it?"

Prince Albert was at a loss for words, as if there was really a big problem.

Yang Huan was very helpless. Reaching the semi-finals would give people so much confidence that they misjudged the strength of the team. If they made it to the finals, they might all think that Monaco could challenge the European giants.

"Then...Master Huan, what do you think?"

Yang Huan smiled slightly, "Taking advantage of the current high price, sell Biglia in exchange for a large sum of cash, introduce a powerful striker, strengthen the striker's strength, strengthen the midfield lineup at the same time, and vigorously support Rabiot Such young local rookies are the main force, and the priority is given to the team's competitiveness in Ligue 1 to ensure a place in the Champions League."

Master Huan hasn't even said that if the offer is good, there is almost no one in the Monaco team who cannot be sold.

Anyway, there are ways to introduce replacement players.

Now even if someone really bought Mitrovic, Yang Huan would be able to find a replacement as soon as possible.

For example, Embolo of Basel, or Luis Adriano of Ajax, are very good scorers.

As for selling Biglia, Yang Huan has already thought about it. Fernando Jr. is good and worth considering.

In addition, Monaco tried to introduce Montpellier midfielder Sanson before, but failed to negotiate. He hopes to get it done this summer, plus Verratti, Rabiot, Kondogbia and Fernando Jr. Monaco's midfield has at least maintained its standard.

But when Yang Huan said this, Prince Albert became a little impatient.

"Master Huan, according to what you said, how can we be competitive in the Champions League? How long will we have to wait to win the Champions League?"

When Yang Huan heard this, his eyes widened. Nimei, do you still want to win the Champions League?

The combined salaries of your 11 starting players are barely enough to make Messi’s annual salary. Are you going to compete for the Champions League?

you are not sick are you?

Michael Bolingbroke sitting next to Yang Huan also laughed awkwardly.

Jean-Luc Bissin is French, he chuckled, "His Royal Highness, with our current business situation, it is almost impossible to compete for the Champions League."

Bolingbroke also nodded and said: "Yes, unless the team's income can be raised to a new level in a short period of time, for example, suddenly there is a large-scale corporate sponsorship of the team, so that the team's financial income can expand to 200 million, In this way, we can fully support a group of players who can compete for the Champions League."

enterprise? Mass sponsorship?

The eyelids of the politicians, businessmen and celebrities sitting next to Prince Albert jumped all of a sudden.

Nimi, is this the rhythm of misfortune?

"Actually, His Royal Highness, follow the idea of ​​Young Master Huan to run the business, that's the long-term solution!"

"Isn't it? The last time Didier Deschamps led his team to the final, they lost to Mourinho's Porto. After that, our Monaco collapsed and even fell into the French second league. It can be seen that what Master Huan said is right. right!"

"Well, the Chinese have a saying, which is to accumulate thickly and grow slowly. Monaco should be in the accumulation stage now."

"Yeah, wait until Monaco has reached a certain level of management and has enough ability, then introduce powerful stars and compete with European teams!"

Yang Huan sat on the side, looking at the group of guys in front of him, he was overjoyed.

They are really cunning.

I haven't said anything yet, but they are afraid to avoid it one by one.

And this once again cites one thing, that is, European football teams are simply hot potatoes.

This is especially true for a team with a political background like Monaco.

So, Yang Huan immediately acted on the principle that I will help you to go around Monaco at a disadvantage, you both have to take good care of my interests, and you have to count me as a part of any good deeds, otherwise I will never end with you.

In the stands, Young Master Huan and Prince Albert, as well as a group of political and business celebrities from Monaco were having fun. Below the stadium, the players from Southampton and Monaco were also in full swing.

Koeman knew that his team was not as good as the Saints, and he also took the attitude of losing less and winning, and defended to the end.

No way, Monaco itself is known for its defense, coupled with Biglia, Navas, Abdunur, Maquinhos and other famous defensive players this season, Monaco's defense is impregnable.

In the case of Southampton scoring another goal, they are sure to win. In addition, they are from the same team, and they did not make any effort to kill Monaco. Therefore, the two sides maintained the mentality of hello, me, and everyone, and finally the score of 1-0 was maintained. at last.

After the game, at the press conference, Southampton coach Bielsa spoke highly of Monaco and Koeman. The most successful head coach in European football this season.

Koeman also reciprocated, speaking highly of Southampton, believing that the Saints are the strongest team in Europe this season, defending the Champions League, and they deserve it.

But Koeman also said that although Monaco lost at home in the first round and was already at a disadvantage in the promotion, he still will not give up and must do his best to win the away game.

And what about Bielsa?

It has also been repeatedly emphasized that after returning to the home court, Southampton still cannot be careless, because Monaco is absolutely capable of an away game reversal.

As the saying goes, people carry people in flowery sedan chairs. If both sides like this, you brag about me and I praise you, which is good for everyone.

More importantly, the media and fans are also very happy to hear and see.
