Chapter 108 Nyon, Switzerland
In the final round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Monaco played against Roma, who had no desires and desires, at home, which became a training battle for the two teams.

Before the game, Jiangshan asked Guardiola to set up tactics to see how he plays pass and control. During training, the team performed very well, and the pass and cut cooperation was very smooth, but on the field, they were constantly blocked.

In the main game, Monaco played very hard. The tactics in training could not be used, and they were the first to concede the ball.

Guardiola covered his face, touched his head, and sighed on the bench, thinking about the difference between official games and training, which is difficult.During training, it is not a real fight, the players are easy to cooperate, but on the court, the intensity is completely different, and there is no tactical coordination at all.

"Am I a master trainer?" Guardiola looked at the performance of the players on the field. "No, the players are not suitable for my tactics. Among the players in Monaco, only Giuly and Ribery can play the cooperation I want, and the others simply don't have this ability."

"If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely return to La Liga." Guardiola deeply agrees with Jiangshan, and the most likely team in the future will appear in La Liga.

Players in La Liga prefer to show off their skills, and subtle technical moves are more popular. On the other hand, in Ligue [-], muscles, personal abilities and tactics are almost the same. It is difficult to play good skills and tactics, so it is difficult to achieve results in the Champions League.

At the last moment, Prasher, who came off the bench, shot, hit Cafu, rebounded the goal, and Monaco struggled to equalize the score.

The two sides shook hands 1:1 and made a draw, and all the matches in the Champions League group stage were over.

Jiangshan's two-game suspension period has also ended smoothly. He will coach the Champions League quarter-finals with a clean body. What awaits them is the draw for the Champions League quarter-finals.

The quarter-finals of the Champions League are all out.

Serie A became the biggest winner. The top three in the north all qualified. Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan stood out in the end, maintaining the final glory of Serie A. AC Milan ranked first in the group, and Juventus and Inter Milan ranked second in the group.

There are also three teams in La Liga. Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid and Valencia are the top three to qualify. Super Deportivo is squeezed out by Manchester United and Juventus. Real Madrid is only No.2 in the group.

There are three teams in the leagues of the two countries. According to the rules of the lottery, they are avoided in the same group, so this time there is a very likely derby in the same country.According to calculations by the good media, the possibility of a derby is as high as 91%!

If there is no derby, hey, it must be because of a small probability event, which is very normal, and ordinary people will also win the double-color ball, right?Of course, there is no derby, the fans are more excited, the more unfamiliar the team, the more exciting the fight.

UEFA enjoys its benefits, and a lot of money comes.

Except for these six teams, no team from the Bundesliga has qualified. Bayern did not even make it to the second round of the group stage. Bayern is the barometer of German football. German football has fallen into a trough, and Bayern's strength is not very good.

Both the Premier League and Ligue [-] are left alone, and Manchester United and Monaco are the first to qualify.The little-known Monaco, with young coaches and inexperienced players, is of course the biggest gift package. After they qualified for the first place in the group, they became the coveted object of all the giants.

Except for Benitez who has competed with Jiangshan and will not encounter Monaco, other teams want to compete with Monaco, no, they want to step on Monaco to advance to the semi-finals.Especially Real Madrid, simply regard Monaco as the lover of their dreams.

Jiangshan is also very depressed. None of the four second-place teams in the group, Real Madrid, Valencia, Juventus and Inter Milan, is easy to deal with.

"In the last life, Ajax was drawn to AC Milan and became the biggest stumbling block for Milan's promotion. Do we still have to meet them?"

On the plane to Switzerland, Jiang Shan covered his face with a magazine to hide his frowning brows.In the quarter-finals of the Champions League, every opponent was like a wolf and a tiger. In comparison, we were really too kind and gentle, as easy to bully as Pleasant Goat.

The only good thing is that the Monaco players are not troubled by red and yellow cards, and after the rotation in the league, they are in good physical condition.

"This season, if we don't win the championship, it's a failure. We are already the first in the group stage, so there is no reason not to win the quarter-finals." Jean-Campola turned his head sideways, and said eccentrically, "I think we will meet Real Madrid. They are definitely not our opponents."

Campola is still the chairman of the club, and it is rare for him to participate in the draw ceremony of the quarterfinals. Of course, he will do it himself. Albert wants to seize power, but it is not so easy.

No one thinks that Monaco has the hope of winning the championship, so Campola dares to joke.It is recognized that the teams that have the strength to win the championship are super giants. Manchester United, Real Madrid, Barcelona and the top three of Serie A all have the strength to win the championship.

The 2003 UEFA Champions League final was held at Old Trafford, and Manchester United also had their own home court, and they were very hopeful of reaching the final.They are also the first favorites to win the championship.

Campola's words were very harsh. Jiang Shan took off the magazine covering his face, confronted each other, and said with a sneer, "How many Champions Leagues have you won in the past few years in charge of the team? How many championships have you won? Let me count, huh? I can't count."

He suddenly put on a serious face, "I don't care how your management sets goals and how to deal with the problems. What you have to do now is to prepare me the best contract. I led the team to the quarter-finals of the Champions League, which is already the best result in the past ten years."

"Oh, by the way, you are just a temporary head coach. Give you a contract? Didn't I give you a contract? A temporary contract is also a contract? Do you want a formal coach's contract? Hey, I am not the only one who has the final say on the Monaco management."

Campola and Albert did not get along, and Jiangshan was stamped with Albert's stamp. It is normal for Campola to look down on him, and Jiangshan feels uncomfortable when he occasionally interferes.But it is impossible for the team to bypass the chairman's operation, so he has always maintained his face.

Jiang Shan took over the precarious Monaco and quickly qualified from the second round of the Champions League group stage. This result is enough to get a formal contract no matter where he is, and the temporary worker becomes a regular.

All the way without words, the plane landed in Switzerland, lakes and mountains, beautiful scenery everywhere.Jiang Shan and his party soon arrived in Nyon, Switzerland, UEFA headquarters.

Switzerland is a long-term neutral country, and the headquarters of hundreds of world organizations are located in Switzerland.UEFA is based in Nyon, FIFA is based in Zurich and the IOC is based in Lausanne, Switzerland.

Nyon is just a small town with a population of more than 1. When Jiangshan entered Nyon, he had a sense of sight of a small town in the eastern part of China. Of course, it was the small town before he crossed.

Orange-red roofs, mottled walls, short and narrow alleys, overlooking the past, the blue Lake Geneva, reflecting the sun, lazily cast on the pedestrians.

Walking on the shore, the country also feels warm. Perhaps, playing in this kind of place is also a good experience. Why didn't I think of joining the Swiss team back then?Definitely a good mix.

"Maybe, today is not a good day. There are too many people by the lake." Campola's mood was ruined. There were reporters carrying cameras everywhere. He didn't like it and muttered, "All the limelight has been taken away by you coaches."

"How about I invite a few people to interview you?"
