Chapter 388: Gary Monk Leaves the Team
"Should we die together with two fronts, or give up one of them rationally?"

This is the headline on the front page of the British media after the No.30 three rounds.

"After last night's league game, Southampton had yet another draw as they were held away by Blue Moon Manchester City. Chelsea beat Stoke [-]-[-] and Liverpool beat West Ham [-]-[-]. After Muhammad United, the competition for the Premier League title has become more intense."

"The current leader Saints is only four points ahead. The last four points in the five rounds is not very difficult for the two teams behind him with rich experience in the Premier League. Even Manchester City is not impossible. After all, the difference between them is only five points. Regarding the result of the match between Manchester City and Southampton, the happiest thing is definitely the happy Chelsea and Liverpool."

"This is the closest the Red Army has come to the league championship in recent years. Rodgers said that they have nothing to do but focus on the league championship this season! As a veteran giant in Europe, they have not won this top league championship since the establishment of the Premier League. , which has become an obsession for the Red Army."

"Charlotte's side were beaten [-]-[-] at the Parc des Princes in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final. Goals from Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Cavani gave the French the advantage, while Mauro Icardi's goal also kept the hope of the final promotion for Saints."

"Now the Saints are struggling in the Champions League and the league. In fact, their best way is to give up one of the championships and try to compete for one of them. We all know that there are so many strong players in the Champions League, and Southampton does not have many Champions Leagues. experience, so the best thing they can do is to give up the Champions League and focus on fighting for the league."

"In this way, for them, they can still retain a heavyweight championship title this season, and they will start again after strengthening the lineup next season."

"Two fronts go hand in hand. This is not a good plan for Southampton at the moment. If this continues, you may not get anything. These two games are examples. First, they lost to Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes. Then came back to the league and was drawn by Manchester City. If they choose to give up that Champions League game, the Saints who are rejuvenated may take three points at the Etihad Stadium."

Charlotte has always sneered at the words of the media, and no one can guarantee a victory at the Etihad.You really don't regard Blue Moon as a dry food. The overall strength of Southampton's players is not strong enough to despise Manchester City. In fact, no one in European football dares to underestimate such an opponent.

The situation of the team gave Charlotte some headaches, but at this time Gary Monk found Charlotte.

"Swansea came to me, and they want me to go back and coach Swansea City." Gary Monk said straight to the point as soon as he came in.

Charlotte was taken aback. He did see the news that Laudrup had been fired not long ago, but he didn't pay attention to it. He didn't expect that Swan Lake would hit Gary Monk with his idea.

Regarding Swansea's dismissal of the Danish marshal, Charlotte thinks that their top management is still too impulsive. At that time, it was the critical moment for Swansea to relegation. They only had five points more than their opponents. No one can guarantee Swansea. West can successfully avoid relegation by firing the head coach.

The correct approach should be to stand up and express trust in Laudrup, and then give him more support.In this way, when the team's morale is stable, it will naturally be able to explode its combat effectiveness. Even if it is necessary to change coaches, we still have to wait until the end of the season after successfully relegation.

Of course, this is his own business, and Charlotte has no right to interfere. He still thinks that Boas should stay at Tottenham, but Levi still fired the Portuguese.

"What do you think?" Charlotte asked.

"This is a temptation that is difficult for me to refuse. I refuse to coach a team alone, especially a Premier League team like Swansea, but now the situation of the Saints." Gary Monk said frankly, for He firmly trusted Charlotte.

"Don't worry about the team's affairs. You just need to talk to the other party about the treatment and support for you. If there is no problem with you, we will release you unconditionally." Charlotte made a decision.

"Thank you, boss!" Garry Monk was a little moved.

Charlotte naturally supports the coaches around him to go out and venture into the world. He knows that all ordinary members of the coaching staff have a dream of a head coach in their hearts, but some of them are suitable for the career of a head coach, while others can only serve as others. assistant.Some people take a brave step forward, while others just want to live a peaceful life.

Just as the Saints were fully preparing for the second round match against Paris, the Southampton Club officially released the news: "The coaching staff member Gary Monk will leave the team starting today. I am very grateful to Gary for everything he has done for the club and the team. . His name will always be in the history of the club and I wish Gary the best for the future and all the best in his new job!"

Then the following is the performance of Gary Monk during his time in Southampton. The best central defender in the crown, even in the Premier League, he was competent, and finally returned to Southampton, retired after injury and joined Charlotte's coaching staff.

At the same time, Swansea City's official website also announced the new head coach candidate: "We are very happy to announce to everyone that the former captain of the team, Gary Monk, has officially returned to the team as the new head coach. As the most outstanding young man in Europe Coach Charlotte's assistant, we hope that Gary can bring something different to Swansea City, and we are very grateful to the Southampton Club for their understanding and support!"

Gary Monk's resume is also given below the last one. As a player, Gary Monk's resume is naturally rich.But as the head coach, Gary Monk's history is undoubtedly poor and blank. After all, this is only the first time he has coached a team alone. Written up, as one of Charlotte's right-hand men, the military medal is half of the other's.

Although Gary Monk and Southampton still have a contract, Charlotte suggested to the club not to charge the liquidated damages given by Swansea.After all, Swansea released Gary Monk to Southampton for free at the time. You must know that although Gary Monk was old at the time, he could still serve as an important substitute and rotation even in the lower reaches of the Premier League. So this favor must be repaid.

Originally, Gary Monk wanted to take Martin Hunter and Tony Cotton to Swansea. After all, every head coach has a team that he is familiar with, so Gary Monk wanted to find a new team while he was working. Go to Swansea and help yourself.But Martin Hunter and Tony Cotton rejected each other. After all, the current Southampton is not the newly promoted team before. It is definitely better to stay in the Saints than to go to Swansea.

Garry Monk also understood this, and after the two rejected him, he had to go to Wales alone.But fortunately, he had played for Swansea for eight years before, and he is very familiar with the players and some coaches in Swansea.

Charlotte held a simple farewell dinner for Gary Monk in the team, that is, the players of the coaching staff gathered together, because considering that they were about to face Paris, Charlotte did not let the players join Come in.

After sending away Gary Monk, Charlotte's team immediately ushered in the Frenchman at home.

Blanco seemed a little cautious in this game. He is a rigorous head coach, and his coaching personality is not like a Frenchman, but more like a German.Therefore, under the advantage of leading in the first round, and at the same time playing in the opponent's away game, Blanco is going to play a little more conservatively in this game.

He knew that the opponent was definitely going to press up and attack, so he wanted to defend and counterattack to wait for work.

But when Paris Saint-Germain's starting lineup was announced, it ushered in boos from other fans and many media because they put Matuidi, Cabaye and Verratti in the midfield. The characteristics of people are all inclined to defense. Verratti is the type of defensive organization, Matuidi is a spoiler in the midfield, and Cabaye is a midfielder who can advance, attack, retreat and defend.In the frontcourt is the combination of Lavezzi, Pastore and Ibrahimovic, which is somewhat different from the tactics used by Blanco before Ibrahimovic and Cavani.

If Paris Saint-Germain was sharp and aggressive in the first round, Paris Saint-Germain is now much more sensible and cautious.

Blanc will not underestimate the opponent just because the opponent is a team that has hardly been heard of in the European war. There is no way to ignore it.

The French head coach has played for Manchester United in the Premier League before, and naturally knows the Premier League team and this competitive league very well, so being able to win the championship in such a league is enough to show the excellence of this team.

Charlotte knows that generally as long as Ibrahimovic is not injured, sick or suspended, the Swedish striker will naturally start.So for this point of the opponent, Charlotte also made a targeted arrangement.

On the central defender, he specially arranged Nkuru and Stephens as partners. Both of them are physically strong. Devereld is much stronger.

Stephens is fast, physically strong, and like Pogba, he is the kind that can't run to death.So Charlotte asked Stephens to follow Ibrahimovic all over the court, man-to-man to watch the opponent.According to the turning speed of Stephens, even if the opponent gets rid of him, he will catch up quickly. After all, Ibrahimovic is old. Although his number of goals per season is still high, his speed and explosiveness have become His shortcoming.

At the same time, Schneiderlin stayed in the backcourt wholeheartedly, although he was prepared to take back the replacement once Stephens was taken away by Ibrahimovic.And Pogba also took on more defensive tasks in this game, he needs to take on the team's defense in the middle.
