Chapter 108 What was the last straw?
"In the No.14 round of Ligue 0 that ended last night, Paris Saint-Germain, who was at the Parc des Princes, had an upset and lost 1:[-] to Nancy at home. Before this round, Nancy was in the bottom three position in the league standings. After playing 'Giant Slayer' last night, Nancy, which has risen by two ranks, has successfully escaped the quagmire of the relegation zone."

"Looking back at the game, Paris Saint-Germain's loss was not without reason. The first is the large-scale rotation of the head coach Combore. The lineup is basically a team of substitute players."

"Secondly, because a two-week international match has just passed, the club internationals with national team assignments have suffered severe physical exhaustion, while players without national team assignments can maintain their form in training, but having no games for two weeks still has a great impact on the players' game state. For example, Wang Zi, who started the game last night, and Wang Zi, who just reached a cooperation with Mendes, did not show a good state in the long-lost game."

"Finally, it comes from the opponent's own situation. As Paris Saint-Germain's opponent last night, Nancy made sufficient preparations in the two weeks of preparations for the game. The club also played with all the main players. There is also the strong desire to win brought by the pressure of being in the relegation zone, and..."

"..."

"To sum up, Paris Saint-Germain's upset loss to Nancy was caused by many reasons. In this 'David and Goliath' battle, Nancy's victory is also a great display of the charm of football. It also proves once again that the disparity in club strength will not determine who wins the two teams from the beginning. After all, 'football is round', and everything is full of unknowns."

"..."

"In the other focus matches of this round, Lyon, ranked fourth and fifth in the league, had a strong dialogue with Rennes. After 10 minutes of the battle, the lower-ranked Rennes was even better, conceding a goal first. The reversal was completed. Rennes' two forwards, Pitroipa and Kembo Ekoko, scored goals successively. Therefore, Rennes finally defeated Lyon with a score of 2:1."

"Montpellier, No.2 in the league, is in a focus battle with Marseille. Montpellier was tied by Saint-Etienne in the last round of the league. After two weeks of adjustments, like Paris Saint-Germain, Montpellier is not in a good state, but unlike Paris Saint-Germain, Marseille, as Montpellier's opponent, is in a more sluggish state. The team's defender Diawara scored the only goal in the game, but it was an own goal."

"Lille, who is third in the league, met Toulouse, who is ranked No.6 in the league. After a boring game, the two teams had to draw a goalless draw and shook hands."

"..."

"After the No. 14 round of Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain's defeat brought the winning Montpellier to the No. [-] position after scoring three league points. The two teams temporarily sit on the top of the standings'throne'."

"Lille and Toulouse are still in their respective league ranking positions in the last round after a draw. Lille, which is five points behind Paris Saint-Germain and Montpellier, is still No.3. Toulouse is two points behind Montpellier and is sixth in the league."

"After the strong dialogue between Rennes and Lyon, the positions of the two teams in the league standings were adjusted. Rennes became No.4, while Lyon, which was originally No.4, came to No.5."

"..."

-

Combore was sitting in his office, his expression was not good, because half an hour ago, he was criticized by the chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi along with the sports director Leonardo.

Although he was trained with Leonardo, no matter how stupid Compaore was, he would not know that the target was actually aimed at him, and Leonardo was personally invited by the chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi. Compared with the "old man" of his own club, it is clear at a glance who the chairman is inclined to.

The new chairman, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, has never been relentless in purging the "old forces" of the club. The reason why the current cleaning is not strong enough is that the Qatar Sports Fund has only been in charge of Paris Saint-Germain for less than half a year. The time is relatively short. Nasser Al-Khelaifi has no time to find so many replacements, otherwise he would have replaced the useless staff.

I will be fired sooner or later.

This was the worry that was growing in Combore's mind at the moment.

Especially after the last round of the league was won by Nancy, who was ranked last in the league.

They have played one round in the French League Cup before, and now they are at the best time to widen the gap in the league. However, there is still a problem. The situation of the Champions League schedule is also not optimistic. The team is in a passive state of qualifying.

And before that, there had been rumors about his resignation, and good media reporters frequently made some "reveals", and what they said was well-founded. Extreme fans spread the news quite quickly. In their hearts, they must want to pack their bags and leave after losing a game. They don't want to be fired by the club.

Of course, there is no storm without waves. Although the rumors are too outrageous, Combore still inquired about some "gossip" inside the club. It seems that Chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi has long planned to change coaches, and he has also specifically explained to Leonardo.

So Combore was very worried, but even more unhappy.

Extremely upset!
Just because you don't have a reputation?
Just because you lost a game or two?

Then why don't you evaluate your team leadership performance?

Last season brought the team into the UEFA Champions League in the new season, and now the team's performance this season is not bad, at least it is still No.1 in the league, but it was eliminated in the French League Cup, but can you blame yourself?

Don't even think about it, how many lines is Paris Saint-Germain fighting now?
How many intensive games are there?
Is the team's current bench lineup deep enough?
Even if you don't talk about these things, but if you don't have credit, you have to work hard!
is not it?
-

Compaore was upset, and Leonardo was even more upset!
Everyone is responsible for the team's loss, but why do you have to bear most of the blame yourself?

Wasn't it your own intention, Mr. Chairman, to keep Combore at the beginning?

Now start to remember to change the head coach?Want to find a big-name head coach?Still don't want to make it known to everyone?
How can it be so easy?

In fact, Leonardo also contacted other head coaches in private, but mentioned a few names. Nasser Al-Khelaifi was not satisfied. He was capable but not well-known. In the end, he finally found a powerful and well-known big-name head coach who was at home, but he was still hesitating whether to coach Paris Saint-Germain.It is always said that money is not a problem, but some people really think more than money, and they will carefully weigh other factors.

After Compaore was scolded, Leonardo was very upset, so he decided to hurry up and have a good talk with the big-name marshal who had been in contact with him at home, to talk in person, to talk seriously, and to resolve this matter as soon as possible.

This is not only because Nasser Al-Khelaifi is impatient, but Leonardo is also worried about another thing, which is the national derby with Marseille.

In the No.15 round of the league, that is, a week later, Paris Saint-Germain will play away against Marseille. In the first French national derby of the new season, everyone from top to bottom of the two clubs seems to attach great importance to it. The national derby has always been like this, and the tense atmosphere has already begun to permeate.

For the upcoming French national derby, Leonardo had a bad premonition faintly in his heart.

Marseille's start to the season was a mess, but the team's rich background and player strength in the country are still there, which allowed Deschamps to regain the feeling of getting the team back on track after the first eight rounds. So far, [-] rounds of Ligue [-] have passed, and Marseille's ranking in the league has also moved from the last place at the beginning to the tenth place in the standings.

And from the last round of the game against Nancy, it is easy to realize a truth. It is not the standings in the last round of the league that cannot prove the strength of a team. Therefore, Marseille's temporary position in the standings does not directly indicate that Marseille's strength will not be as good as Paris Saint-Germain, let alone the big talk that Paris Saint-Germain will win.

And the most important point is that the national derby is really different from the usual league. The national derby never needs anyone to exaggerate the atmosphere. The tense and intense atmosphere has long spread between the two teams, from players to fans.

It is true that the national derby is a confrontation of strength, but more of it is a competition of willpower and spiritual power, as well as a collision of strong beliefs to win.

These are the uneasy factors in Leonardo's heart.

Marseille has been in poor form recently, but so has Paris Saint-Germain, but no one can lose.

The various pressures that the losing side will have to face in the future are unimaginable. At this point, Leonardo believes that the losing side will definitely take action, just like he is now looking for a new head coach.

-

Marseille and Paris Saint-Germain, the two Ligue [-] enemies are about to meet, and the national derby is imminent.

The two coaches, Deschamps and Compaure, are like camels with straws on their bodies at this time.

As for who will be the first to receive the last straw that crushes him?
The result of the French national derby will be directly decided!
