ball at foot

After playing against Guingamp, Monaco's next opponent is Montpellier.

This is the only game that can be called easy in the series of games in this period of time.

Montpellier is not considered a strong team in Ligue [-]. They have been in the league this season and have always been a relegation team.Facing them, Monaco played fairly easily.

Roten, who had just recovered from a serious injury, didn't play much in this game. He only played for less than 10 minutes before going down to rest, and Zhao Yaning played the main role in the game.He also played extremely well, assisting Giuly's pass to help the team open the scoring, and also made Monaco win the game 2:1.

After finishing this game, only two days later, Monaco ushered in the strong enemy in the French League Cup, Auxerre. [

Auxerre is a very special team in the Ligue [-] team: in the Ligue [-], although the most powerful teams have always been Marseille and Paris, but when it comes to the most respected team , but definitely Auxerre.

Because their coach is Guy Roux, a living milestone in French football, known as Guy Roux of the Eiffel Tower of French football.

The legendary head coach is now 64 years old, and in his 42-year coaching career, he coached Auxerre for 40 years.Except for the two years of military service, the rest of the time was coaching Auxerre.It took him 19 years to promote Auxerre to Ligue [-], and then he used his life's energy to bring Auxerre from a low-level semi-professional team to today's Ligue [-] team, and won the Ligue [-] championship. He also won the French Cup and even reached the semi-finals in the Europa League. Such an experience is a legend in the world.

He should be the only legend in the world who has coached the same club for more than 2000 games. Although he has 19 years of coaching experience in the lower leagues, in 2002, he still broke the record for coaching games in Ligue [-]. Now he Every Ligue [-] game played is setting a new record.

What is even more surprising is that during the 40 years that Auxerre has coached Auxerre, the chairman of Auxerre has not changed.A club whose president and coach have worked together for 40 years is considered a miracle in the world.

But it won't take long for this time record to be refreshed-in the regulations made by the Ligue 60, it is clearly stipulated that coaches over the age of [-] are not allowed to coach.

This regulation was introduced because it is difficult to obtain the French coaching certificate. Before getting the coaching certificate, many people find an old coach to name them and actually direct themselves.There are many such things, and the Football Association has to make regulations that do not allow coaches over the age of 60 to command.

But even if this regulation is promulgated, no one dares to manage Guy Roux.The head coach of Auxerre is so famous and prestige that even the French Football Association can only forgive him.

But even so, Guy Roux's retirement has been discussed many times by the media.Although Guy Roux himself did not admit it, almost everyone believed that the current group of young people in Auxerre could be said to be Guy Roux's last work.

Their striker has Cisse, one of the best strikers in France.On the midfield line, there is Lionel Matisse, a strong contender for the best rookie in Ligue [-] this season, and on the back line, there is Philippe Mexes, who is considered to be the future hope of French football. .

Their results are also outstanding: while the team maintained their competitiveness in the European Cup, Auxerre also insisted on singing all the way in the French Cup and French League Cup.Like Monaco, they are teams that dare to insist on multi-line combat.But compared to Monaco's newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers, Auxerre is more cunning and cunning, and has a good chance of winning.

When these two teams meet on a narrow road, it depends on whose life is tougher.

"Monaco is a good team." In an interview, Guy Roux answered questions from the media with a smile, "A very good team. Such a team should focus more on In terms of winning the league championship, what's the point of being too entangled in a game like the League Cup? This kind of trophy is for us small clubs."

And for this remark, Deschamps can only thank Guy Ru for his importance to Monaco, and at the same time express his confidence, "We have absolute confidence in the league, and at the same time there is nothing wrong with icing on the cake. We respect Auxerre, but in this game, we will still try our best to advance, Monaco has no habit of giving up the game."

Although Deschamps said that his team will not give up anything, the media is still extremely pessimistic about the status quo of Monaco.In the first half of the season, Lyon and Paris still had European tasks, and the schedule was much heavier than that of Monaco. That's it, everyone did not widen the gap. Now, entering the second half of the season, both Lyon and Paris have been eliminated. You can play the league with all your strength. If Monaco wants to fight on the third front at this time, it will become a burden for Monaco.

"If Monaco persist like this, it is very likely that at the end of the season everything will be done."

Zhao Yaning nodded, he likes this task very much.

"Watch out for Mex, the defender, though. That guy is better than Bass."

As a rising star guard who has gained fame this season, Mexes does have his strengths.His physical fitness, position selection ability, ability to grab the ball and ability to launch an offense after taking the ball are all very satisfactory.If such a player develops well, there is almost no problem entering the French national team. After all, he is a defender who can be regarded as the best new candidate for France. He has his own advantages.

"I will pay attention." Zhao Yaning nodded.

"But don't put too much pressure on it." Seeing Zhao Yaning's expression was too serious, Deschamps smiled, "The biggest problem with Mex as a defender is instability. For offensive players, instability is not so-called, but for defenders. Instability is a huge problem for players. Maybe he will play very poorly, and it is possible that you will play easily."

"Let's prepare for the worst." Zhao Yaning agreed, and then asked his own question, "Coach, I have a question for you. Since his state is unstable, if you are in the media A few words to comment on him should be able to make him lose his mind? Wouldn't that make it easier to play the game?"

These words made the teammates quiet for a while, Deschamps' face changed, and he smiled again, "Joy, you still haven't fully adapted to the Ligue [-]. Let me ask you, you are also one of the new stars in the Ligue [-]." , Have you ever seen any team’s head coach or media commentator criticize you in the media?”

"I don't read newspapers very much..." Zhao Yaning thought for a while, "But it doesn't seem to be."

"That's because this is Ligue [-]." Deschamps answered him, "France has the same understanding as the Dutch in this respect. The media pays too much attention and evaluation to young players. Call it a hindrance. You can't just taunt a young man and ruin his life just to win a game. It's very immoral."

Zhao Yaning blushed and lowered his head at the same time, "I didn't mean it, I just..."

"Seeing that Italy, Spain, and England are doing that, do you think we should do the same?" Deschamps shook his head, "We are different from them, they are an imported league, players are bought and spent a lot of money After that, it is natural to demand that you get what you pay for. Our players are all cultivated by ourselves, so naturally we hope that they can make a name for themselves.”

To put it bluntly, those are all bought with money, and they cannot be bought for compensation.But this is all for money, so you can't swear casually and damage the goods.

"The Dutch regard lack of discipline, excessive media interference, and Italian defensive football philosophy as the three major enemies of young players. Once these three are implemented, the players will never have a bright future. Think for yourself, if you are in the During the days of playing football in Monaco, the media insulted you every day, can you still play well? Will you feel pressure in your heart? Will you feel comfortable?"

Zhao Yaning shook his head.

"Then don't treat others like this." Deschamps nodded in satisfaction, "We are all football players, we are not enemies, competition is fine, but it is too much to recruit people outside the market. Football is not war, and football is not a war. It's not a hate game, it's a sport, a loveable sport. His appeal is on the court, not what the media says."

"And you have to remember that when you face the media one day, that means you have grown up."
