"Hello, welcome to La Tierbi, Master Huan!"
Halfway up the mountain behind the city of Monaco, Monaco's training base La Tilby ushered in the team's behind-the-scenes boss.
Head coach Martino led his coaching team to greet Yang Huan who got out of the car downstairs in the newly completed training building.
Accompanied by the two core executives of the club, Michael Bolingbrook and Jean Luc Bissing.
"Hello, Gerardo!" Yang Huan smiled and shook hands with Martino.
If Yang Huan remembers correctly, the Argentine coach should have taken over Barcelona in his previous life.
But now, he is coaching Monaco, and he is doing quite well.
In the new season of the Ligue 1 league, there have been three rounds, and Monaco has won three consecutive victories.
Not only that, with Depay and Mitrovic's goals in the first round, after defeating Bordeaux 2-0 in the away game, he returned to the Louis II Stadium in the second round and immediately beat Montpellier and Mitrovic four-to-one. Vitch performed a hat trick.
In the third round immediately afterwards, they once again broke Toulouse 3-0 at home. Depay, Aubameyang and Tovan scored a goal each.
In three rounds of the league, he scored nine goals and only conceded one goal, ranking in the leading position of the Ligue 1 league. As a newly-promoted horse, Monaco immediately shocked the entire Ligue 1 league.
Especially in the main lineup of this team, most of them are a group of young players from the post-90s. All of them are talented and envy and hate that the Ligue 1 teams can't tell!
Behind the team's eye-catching performance, Martino's coaching team also contributed the most.
Of course, the generous bonus given by Young Master Huan is also quite attractive.
Last season, Monaco was successfully upgraded from the French League B. Yang Huan gave an upgrade bonus of more than 4 million euros in one breath.
This sum of money is distributed to every player. It is really not a lot. But in the French League, it is already a lot higher than the winning prizes of other teams, even Paris Saint-Germain who won the championship. The bonuses may not be so generous.
Therefore, the players have suffocated their strength one by one and have to do a big game in the new season.
Accompanied by Martino and others, Yang Huan met with the players one by one. After a few polite greetings, cheering and cheering for them, and after a lot of encouragement, he asked the players to continue training and stay on their own. People return to the training building.
It was when Yang Huan was sitting on the office chair in the conference room that a flash of light flashed in his mind.
The important reason why Martino coached Barcelona in his previous life is said to be the recommendation of Messi.
After seeing Martino's performance in coaching Newell's Old Boys, the latter recommended him to coach Barcelona.
But now it is obviously different. Martino's coaching in Monaco is indeed very good. This French team has also been trained by him to produce a pleasing offensive football, but it has not attracted much attention from the outside world.
Well, there are no big-name players. They all rely on a group of youth teams to play games.
Secondly, the Ligue 1 is not a top-level league, and it has not attracted much attention.
However, this is a good thing for Yang Huan.
"Herrado, let's start to the point. We are very satisfied with the team's current performance!"
Yang Huan’s words were immediately nodded and approved by Michael Bolingbrook and Jean Luc Bissing.
As a newly promoted, Monaco can be ranked first in Ligue 1 after three rounds, which is not an easy task.
"I talked to them. We all hope that the team can maintain the current momentum. We hope that the team can rank in the top three in the league after the season is over. What do you think?"
According to the Ligue 1 Champions League points, a total of three teams can participate in the Champions League, of which the third place will participate in the qualifiers.
Therefore, Yang Huan and the management's goal in the new season is to strive for the top three.
After listening to Yang Huan's words, Martino made an eye contact with his assistants, Jorge Baotasso, Adrian Coria, and others. Both of them obviously felt that this goal was a bit pressure.
It’s no wonder that although the Monaco team is full of talents, the players are generally low in age and newly promoted. This summer, Martial was introduced from Lyon and Embolo from Basel, Switzerland, but both players It's after the ninth five-year plan.
This is obviously not the age of achievement!
"It's okay, talk about the team's problems, you can speak freely!" Yang Huan encouraged.
In his opinion, reaching the top three in the league is more important than anything else!
"Young Master Huan, with the current configuration of the team, it is still quite competitive in the Ligue 1 League. In addition, Mitrovic has adjusted quite well this season, with four goals in three games. The trident composed of Pei and Aubameyang is also skillful in cooperation, showing a sharp attack power!"
The stunning start of this season's league is inseparable from the excellent performance of the Trident.
At least, these three players swept eight of Monaco's nine goals, and only one came from young player Tovan.
From this point, it is not difficult to see the importance of the Trident's outstanding performance to Monaco.
"In addition to the Trident, we also have young players such as Tovan, Fekir and Benzia, all of whom are good offensive players, so there is almost no big problem with our frontcourt attack!"
"The defensive line is not a big problem, only the midfielder. I think if we want to win the top three in the league, we need to continue to introduce more mature and stable defensive players in the midfield."
Yang Huan also felt reasonable when he heard this.
Verrati and Kondobia were the main midfielders of the team last season. In addition, Germain, Mendy and Esséric were the rotation players in the midfield. As for Martino, he is very promising young player. Rabiot, although he has gotten a lot of chances to play, is only eighteen years old and can't be alone for the time being.
As the team enters Ligue 1 this season, the opponents they encounter are getting stronger and stronger, and it is only natural to introduce a powerful midfielder.
Even so, this transfer transaction is definitely for Yang Huan to pay for himself, but considering that if the team can successfully reach the top three of the league, it will definitely bring more money to the team if it reaches the Champions League. Interests.
Thinking of this, Yang Huan knew what he should choose.
"The European transfer market is almost over. So far, there are not many midfield defenders. Are there any goals?"
Yang Huan asked with a smile. After speaking, he took out his mobile phone, logged into the official Southampton app, accessed the database, selected a few filter items, and directly checked the player’s transfer information.
This investigation quickly jumped out of a long list.
Martino didn't know what Young Master Huan was checking, but after hearing the question, he nodded.
"Well, we do have a few goals that we think are good."
Yang Huan nodded towards him, "Let's listen."
"Toulouse's core midfielder, Etienne Capue, is twenty-five years old. He is a native of France. Both his footwork and consciousness are quite good. He can also play as a central defender."
As soon as he said, Yang Huan immediately found Capue's clue in the mobile app.
Not to mention, Tottenham Hotspur had been eyeing him before, but after Qatar's local tyrants took over, the standard of introduced players was significantly improved, and Capue was eventually abandoned, but the scouting system was very important to him. The evaluation is still quite high.
"Another goal is LaLiga’s Málaga midfielder Turalán. He is now 29 years old. He is a famous European star. There is no doubt about his strength. Since April, he has been in the injury phase. He has a contract with Málaga. There are still two years, but the transfer fee will not be too high, and he himself has the willingness to return to his country to work.
This Turalan is a famous European star, otherwise, the La Liga local tycoon Málaga would not like him.
Although due to the infighting during the 2010 World Cup, he has never qualified for the French national team from now on, but Turaland still has considerable popularity and influence in France, and in terms of strength, he is also worthy of international status. .
"The other candidate is the Argentine international currently playing for Anderlecht, Belgium, Lucas Biglia."
"Argentina international?" Yang Huan was taken aback, obviously a little surprised.
When did the Argentine national team recruit a player who played for the Belgian Serie A team?
"Yes, I've been paying attention to him for a long time!" Martino said with a smile.
From the expression on Martino's face, it is not difficult for Yang Huan to see his appreciation for this player.
Could it be that this is another case where the pearl is covered in dust?
"How are these three players worth?" Yang Huan asked again.
Jean Luc Bissing thought for a while and replied: "Now it has entered the final stage of the transfer market. Some players have even played a few games. If you want to sign up, you must be fast. It’s hard to talk about it."
"You say!" Yang Huan knows the rules of the transfer market better than anyone else.
"Toulouse has recently suffered from a debt crisis. The media reported before that Toulouse will have to sell off a number of high-quality players, including Capue, to cash out, but Tottenham Hotspur, who had gone the closest before, suddenly chose other targets. Arsenal, after introducing Özil and Higuain, chose Flamini, who is a free transfer."
"In the end, no one cares about Capue. If we do, the price should be around 10 million euros!"
Seeing Master Huan nodded, Jean Luc Bissing was also encouraged and continued.
"The problem with Turalan is that he doesn't know if he can recover after the injury, and his salary is slightly higher. If the transfer fee is concerned, Málaga has clearly marked the price, and 5 million euros can take him away."
"As for Lucas Bigglia, it's a bit difficult. At present, he has received invitations from many teams including Milan, Naples, Lazio, West Ham United, etc. If you want to win him, I am afraid..."
With Monaco's current situation, it is undoubtedly difficult to compete with the top league teams.
Yang Huan used the mobile app to look through Biglia's information and found that the scout system gave him a pretty good evaluation.
In the seven years of playing for Anderlecht, he has brought five league championships and two league runner-ups to this league team, and he is the core main force that can not be beaten, which shows that this player is quite strong. stable.
Capue and Turalan each have their own advantages. The former is a popular rookie in Ligue 1 and is also the year to play, while the latter is a famous French star. It is at its peak. For Monaco, who is currently young , Is definitely a powerful supplement.
"Master Huan, as long as these three players can win one and hit the top three in the league, they will be more confident!"
Martino said expectantly.
In fact, the weakness of the midfield has become a major hidden danger for Monaco.
Before Yang Huan had come, the management had no money and could not make decisions on many things.
Now Master Huan is here, and the question is on the table, what to do Just listen to Master Huan!
After listening to Martino, Jean Luc Bissing immediately took it.
"Master Huan, I think Capue is the most promising one. If you think it is suitable, then I will call Toulouse, there should be no problem!"
According to him, it seems to have a good relationship with Toulouse.
After Yang Huan listened, he nodded and said, "That's it, you call Toulouse and introduce Capue!"
Martino felt a little regretful when he heard it.
He really appreciates Bigglia more. No matter how bad it is, Turalan is not bad. As for Capue, it is also good, but compared with the previous two players, it is still a little bit worse.
But since Master Huan has said that the transfer period is so urgent, it is better than nothing, so let it go!
But at this moment, Young Master Huan made a strange move.
