Chapter 195: .195 Half-End

After Lyon's defeat at the Louis II Stadium, the French media lashed out at Puel, and some players who had played for Lyon expressed disappointment in Puel.
Puel's on-the-spot command in the game was even more downcast by all parties, thinking that he had lost control of the team and lost his way.
After Lyon fell from the dominant position, he seemed to become a mouse crossing the street. Everyone shouted, no matter who they were, they wanted to step on it, and I don't know if they were trying to relieve the aggrieved aggrievedness that Lyon had suppressed over the years.
Situ Yunbing turned a deaf ear to things outside the window. Some of the French media’s annual selections of him and Monaco’s players are both on the top of the list, but they are not enough to make people ecstatic. It is nothing more than the icing on the cake to the honor. Adding such an insignificance to the honor book. The medal is nothing.
Being in France, I will look up at the mountains of European football with humility at the end of the year.
It seems like the top teams in European football, the top players are in a space of different dimensions.
At the end of last year, Ronaldo went to Paris to win the Golden Globe. This year, Messi is the ruler of the world. Since Ronaldo and Owen aspired for the Golden Globe at a young age, the Golden Globe has become younger again, 23 years old. Ronaldo, 22-year-old Messi have all become famous, they can invisibly inspire these guys in Monaco.
It’s just that they don’t know that perhaps the Golden Globe winners in the past years have been promoted from first-class to super, and then have been active on the top European stage for many years.
But the crowning of C Ronaldo in 2008 and Messi's summit in 2009 opened the prelude to a new era, which has only two words: Mero.
For many years since then, it has been mentioned that the players who can participate in the competition between the two, whether it is Hazard, Neymar, Griezmann, etc., are basically decided after the age of 23, because it is difficult to have players Before the age of 23, achieve the same achievements as Messi and Ronaldo, until a player named Mbappé appeared. At least he was 20 years old to become France's feat in winning the World Cup, which is enough to challenge the status of Ronaldo and Messi during the same period. , It's just that Situ Yunbing doesn't know how Mbappé develops.
But he knows that if Mbappé stays in Ligue 1, he will never reach the height of Melo, just as Neymar went to Paris Saint-Germain, boasting about winning the Golden Globe is basically a joke. In the league where the star springboard wants to be a god, can the world be convinced by winning the Champions League?
Just as Monaco can't attract famous stars, the players Situ Yunbing introduced all want to train and grow in Ligue 1. As most players know well, there is no need to overestimate the gold content of Ligue 1. Otherwise, Situ Yunbing doesn't dare to train frequently in the league. Instead, he will train in the Premier League and La Liga? If you don't get shit, you really have to burn incense thankfully.
In order to give players more time during the holidays, Monaco held a club’s Christmas dinner before the league’s final match.
The Monaco royal family enthusiastically became the host, allowing Monaco players and coaches to bring their families to the palace to have a club party.
Prince Albert showed a friendly side to the people. At the party, he had a good drink with many coaches and players. Debondan was in high spirits and frequently toasted Situ Yunbing. Situ Yunbing was always willing to come, and he must have fun in life.
In the half-time of the league match, Monaco challenged Le Mans away, and Situ Yunbing hid some of the main players, allowing the substitute players to have a hearty battle before the holiday, which is also a comfort and allows them to stay in the team during the winter break. .
Situ Yunbing didn't spend much time on the bench in the first half, but the pressure in the second half was even more onerous. After entering 2010, he will fight on the fourth line, which is a great test for the thickness of the team's bench.
In the summer, Situ Yunbing had a budget of 4 million euros and did not spend it, because the team’s current ranking basically locked the qualification for the Champions League next season. At the same time, the team reached the Champions League knockout stage. Whether or not they can pass the Real Madrid level, just this The broadcast share and match day income from the two rounds of the battle with Real Madrid are enough to increase Monaco's income for the whole season. Therefore, De Bondin added another 6 million euros to the team in the winter transfer market. A total of 10 million euros allowed Situ Yunbing to sign up.
However, Situ Yunbing really has no signing plans at this time. It is not realistic to replace the main players. Monaco's strength base is already strong enough. If you want to buy players who can directly replace the main players in the winter transfer window, you will either pay a high price. , The team does not have that much money, or they are really talented players and no one has discovered.
If it is to buy some substitutes, it is nothing more than to give the team a layer of protection, but the strength of the players may not be able to rest assured to entrust important tasks.
After all, Monaco still has a lot of substitutes ready to play for the team.
Rufael at the goalkeeper position.
Adriano, Mongongu and Muratori on the back.
Mangani and Mendy in the midfield, Nimani in the striker.
If Falcao returns from injury, Witsel's playing time may also be reduced.
The advantage of these substitutes is that the players are more diverse and can play multiple positions, so that the role type is not too single.
Situ Yunbing thinks about it, there is really no need to sign up, there are still two months before the Champions League knockouts, if it is to buy a potential star, two months will make him reborn?
I'm afraid it will be difficult.
Rising stars like Monaco have solid foundations in the past, and only Gareth Bale is so powerful because of his natural speed advantage. A little bit of polishing can produce results.
For a technical player, it's good to have a firm foothold in Ligue 1 for two months.
To hit the Champions League arena, Situ Yunbing can only count on the current main players. If they fail, it will be useless to buy them with 10 million euros.
It is easy to understand this point, and his working ideas are clear.
It is enough to give the substitute players a clear guarantee, let them stay in the team with peace of mind and maintain the cohesion of the team.
If it is too complicated, it is easy to confuse the idea of ​​a good hand.
Monaco’s benches really worked very hard. In the away game to challenge Le Mans, Adriano and Muratori shuttled back and forth between the two flanks. Mongonggu provoked the back of the defense to become a mainstay. Witsel and Nimani charged at the front line, and even the youngest Mendy was aggressive in the midfield defense.
Monaco finally defeated their opponents 3:1 away, and the first half of the season ended perfectly!
Looking at the standings, Monaco has set a record for the highest half-time points in Ligue 1 history!
Monaco, 51 points.
Bordeaux, 40 points.
Marseille, 35 points.
Lille, 34 points.
Montlipier, 33 points.
Auxerre, 32 points.
Lyon, 29 points.
Lyon has fallen into the middle of the standings. It may take some time for the former overlord of Ligue 1 to recover. The voice of Puel's dismissal is endless, but I don't know what the courage and determination of Lyon Chairman Aulas is at this time.
Halfway through the league, Situ Yunbing sent New Year's greetings to the players, and then the club entered the holiday.
Sigrid's work at the end of the year was also over. When she came to Situ Yunbing's suite, the two of them were married, and they left the hotel after two days of indulgence and passion.
On Christmas Eve, the Monaco royal family hosted a party. Situ Yunbing and Sigrid attended the party in full costumes. The two men holding hands and clasping fingers had sweet smiles on their faces. When they thought that they met for the first time at the evening party held by the Monaco royal family last year , The two do not have a feeling.
The glorious two became the focus of the dinner, and many people who didn't know would come up to chat with them.
Nowadays, Sigrid, who has more than 10 luxury brand endorsement contracts, is naturally well-known in the European fashion circle, and Situ Yunbing is a favorite object of some international brand sponsors.
Every time after talking with someone, they would look at each other in the gap, and the two of them had no choice but no feelings in their eyes.
A year ago, Situ Yunbing didn't care about Situ Yunbing, and Sigrid also came to see the world. Now, both of them have become the focus.
There is no shortage of directors or executives of some companies. They come to Situ Yunbing just hoping that Situ Yunbing can consider endorsing their brand.
There is a huge Chinese market behind Situ Yunbi.
Situ Yunbing hasn't thought about this yet, or that these things are not the focus of his consideration now, he is not short of money, although the more money should be better.
But he is uncertain about changing from a coach to a star coach with market value. This will share how much energy he will and what impact it will have.
He didn't reject anyone, but he didn't promise them to cooperate. He just left the contact information, which is a good fate, and he will see if there is any chance in the future.
On Christmas Day, Situ Yunbing went to Sigrid's parents' house and had dinner with them.
Compared to family gatherings in China where a son-in-law comes home, Situ Yunbing apparently prefers the attitude of European and American parents to their children’s personal emotional problems. At least Sigrid’s parents have not questioned him, and they want to take his ancestors to three generations. They knew everything they had done before, and the situation did not happen. They were more like friends sitting together for dinner and chat, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
As for the future development of the relationship between him and Sigrid, the parents didn’t even ask about when to get married, when to have children, where to settle down, and other topics. Obviously, in their eyes, this belongs to the West Even the parents can only care about Grid's personal affairs, but they will not take care of them.
