Chapter 54 The First Meeting

Zhao Yaning felt flattered to be invited by Deschamps.Although Deschamps coached Monaco in a mess this year and ended up in a relegation team, as long as he thinks of Deschamps' outstanding achievements in the French national team and Juventus in the past few years, Zhao Yaning feels inexplicably excited.

This is a real big-name player.The former captain of the French national team and one of the best midfielders in the world.

Zhang Yuan doesn't like the French team. He is a Brazilian fan and always complains a lot about the winner of the 98 World Cup.He has always insisted on conspiracy theories, political theories, that the reason for France's victory was a fluke.

But let alone Squillage, Zhao Yaning sometimes felt that he was too stubborn. Although the offensive line of the French team in 98 was a mess, the defensive line can be said to be the best in football history.Although Brazil has Ronaldo, both midfielders have fallen to the point of playing in the J-League. How can they win when they meet a strong midfield team like France?Football is not an individual game, no matter how strong an individual is, there is still time to recover.

Deschamps' defensive strength, defensive area, ball path prediction, and the first point after getting the ball are all rare in the world.And his partner Pettit has first-class ability to pass the ball long to the frontcourt. Coupled with the tacit cooperation of the two and the support of Karenbu, France has formed a strong midfielder.In 2000, Kalumbu left and replaced Vieira, who was at his peak defensive ability, to ensure France's Grand Slam championship. [

Not to mention anything else, before Deschamps left the French national team, Makelele had no chance to play for the national team.Seeing that Makelele can now sit in the middle of Real Madrid, you can know what level Didier Deschamps was back then.

Zhao Yaning stayed in France for a year. Apart from being influenced by what he saw and heard, he also had a good impression of French football. Therefore, when he heard that Deschamps wanted to see him, he was also very happy.

Because of this, he and Zhang Yuan soon left Ajaccio and came to Monaco with a mortgage.

Monaco's performance this season can be said to be extremely bad.

Didier Deschamps took over Monaco last season as a novice. As soon as he arrived at the team, he made some drastic reforms.Before him, Monaco, like other Ligue [-] teams, had a great say in foreign aid. The two big strikers Simeone and Gallardo were almost the same in Monaco.But after Deschamps took over, he put them aside without saying a word. As long as they don't obey the order, they will never be given any chance.He rented out Simeone to Milan, released Gallardo, and then began to rebuild the lineup.

If it is said that he eliminates dissidents, it is not entirely true.Even Roten, who he signed on his own, and Giuly, who had been obedient to him, were sent to the reserve team without saying a word because of being lazy on the training ground-that was on the eve of Monaco's game against Lyon. The transfer of the two most important players of the team attracted the team's big boss, Crown Prince Albert II of Monaco, to intercede for them in person.But Deschamps didn't save face at all, and made it clear that he would rather lose the game than spare the two of them lightly.Fortunately, Monaco won that game, and Roten and Giuly quickly realized their mistakes, apologized to Deschamps and recovered their positions.

After one season, the Monaco team has suffered repeated defeats and has been hovering in the relegation zone.The media has been hyping him for being rigid and unflexible, and even promoting the fifteen prohibitions he nailed on the door of the locker room, thinking that he is unreasonable and a failed guy.

But Zhao Yaning knew this was not the case.When Squillage mentioned him in private, he went from complaining at the beginning of the season to admiring at the end of the season. It is definitely not without reason.Didier Deschamps did sacrifice a season's results, but Monaco has also completed the renewal, and the decadent style left by the Tigana period has been swept away, becoming a team that pays attention to discipline and tactics.

Squillage obviously knew more details, but he refused to tell Zhao Yaning in detail.After all, what happened in the locker room, as a Monaco player, he could hear it from his teammates, but he couldn't tell it. This is the consensus of the football world.But his attitude is enough to make Zhao Yaning have some interest in Deschamps.

When I saw Deschamps, it was in a bar in Monaco.

This made Zhao Yaning a little surprised. Football players generally don't have much contact with alcohol. As a coach, he asked a player to meet in a bar, which is really weird.

"If you want to drink something, feel free, as long as it's not too much. Outside of the court, you don't have to be too restrained." Deschamps and Zhao Yaning greeted each other, but didn't get up.But even though he said this, Zhao Yaning still only wanted a glass of beer, took a sip and put it down.

Deschamps saw his movements in his eyes and didn't say anything, but still nodded.

"I don't want to talk nonsense. You were introduced to me by Jean Petit, he said you are a good player. I watched your game tape, I think you are the kind of player I need, if you follow me If you can make a difference, I can also strengthen Monaco's squad."

Deschamps spoke concisely, which made Zhao Yaning feel quite happy.But happiness is not everything. Zhao Yaning felt that it was necessary to ask more clearly.

"Excuse me, what is the main role you want me to play?"

Zhao Yaning’s problem is not unexpected for Deschamps, “I hope you can become a powerful tactical part of the team. What you need to play is mainly two aspects. First, your speed and Breakthrough ability is an important means for the team to make rapid progress. Second, I hope your breakthrough ability and your long-range shooting ability can become an effective tool for the team in tough battles. Roten is good at long passes, and Giuly is even more Comprehensive, but they don’t have your breakthrough ability, the Monaco team needs a breakthrough player, I hope you can help me make up for this shortcoming.”

Didier Deschamps didn't modify his intentions very much, "I want you to be the core of the team. Your organizational and finishing skills are not top-notch, and what you can play is more of a supporting role. I hope you Make a tactical jigsaw, and I believe you can do the best you can."

Although these words were a bit unpleasant, Zhao Yaning felt that it would be good if Deschamps could tell the truth. [

"Mr. Deschamps, in fact, I am more concerned about how I can grow. I think I am not too old now, and I should pay more attention to the training and learning of skills."

Zhao Yaning's words made Deschamps nodded, "I understand what you mean. I have just been a coach and I am not very familiar with technical training. If you transfer to Monaco, your technical training will be handled by Jean Petit. The coach will do it. He has been watching you for a long time, and his level is beyond doubt, and I am sure you will benefit a lot.”

"But his training was also under your supervision, right? I would like to ask, if I go to Monaco, which part of the training would you prefer me to pay attention to first?"

Deschamps paused this time before speaking, "I'm a new coach, so Mr. Petit only asked me to be in charge of tactical matters. Player training is the foundation of the team, and he doesn't let me intervene too much. But he did Tell me where he wants you to develop."

"Mr. Petit believes that it is stupid for a technical player to be obsessed with strength training. Your strength is enough and there is no need to strengthen training. You should pay more attention to your physical training. Technical players can Avoid too much physical contact through smart running and excellent awareness, but technical deformation caused by physical exertion is unavoidable, so physical exercise is more important.”

It sounds reasonable.

"Secondly, he hopes to exercise your passing skills. Your long-range shots are very good. If you can cooperate with good passing skills, your threat will increase a lot after you move closer to the center. Besides, your last season Playing more cautiously, if you can develop a good ability to pass and threaten the ball, then your threat will be greatly enhanced."

"Again, it is your technical movements. Your talent is very good, your physical condition is very good, and your basic skills are also considered excellent. But you have not been able to further refine and sublimate these movements, making them completely your own Technology. You haven’t found the breakthrough technology that suits you the most, and Mr. Petit is willing to help you find the most suitable way of playing football.”

These words moved Zhao Yaning extremely.It can be heard that Coach Petit has indeed worked hard on him, and his reputation has guaranteed that he will be successful in training Zhao Yaning.For Zhao Yaning, such words are enough.

But Cordia, who was sitting aside, still had some doubts.

"Mr. Deschamps, I still have some questions. As we all know, Monaco's Roten and Giuly are a very good pair of wings. If you buy Joey, how will you arrange the positions of the three of them?"

"I haven't figured it out yet." Deschamps was very frank, "Roten's long pass, Giuly's running position and his breakthrough will be my three weapons. But I haven't thought about how to make them work better. Okay. I can’t just assert the positions of the three of them out of thin air. I have to go through real training before I can determine the style of play. I hope that Giuly will play in the middle, so that their advantages can be compatible, but I don't dare to say that it can be successful without cooperation, maybe it is more likely that they are not compatible and have to play two of them, while the third is off the court as a rotation substitute."

These words made Zhao Yaning's enthusiasm drop a bit.Who is the substitute?Jiuli is the absolute main force, so the substitute is naturally one of him and Rothen.It seems that the competition is not small.

"Okay, then I have another question." Cordia was only responsible for asking questions, and decided that it was Zhao Yaning's own business after all, so he didn't ask any more. "Monaco's performance this year is not very good. I want to ask, What are Monaco's goals for next year?"

"We played badly this year, that's my problem." Didier Deschamps spoke without any hesitation, "but next year, Monaco's goal is only to win the championship."
