049 Home Bugs and Away Dragons?
Monaco's record of 4 wins and 1 draw in the last five league rounds has made the chairman Debondan look bright. When people praise Situ Yunbing and Monaco, they will also praise him for his keen eyes.
As for how he discovered Situ Yunbing from distant China, no one cared about this.
Anyway, Situ Yunbing put on a mysterious and ridiculous cloak on the first day of coaching Monaco.
Debangdan fired the team's general manager and sports manager at the beginning of his tenure. He may think these two personnel changes are correct, but the club's vacancy of these two positions has led to no one around him being able to give him advice. The power vacuum at the top allows Situ Yunbing to have a certain say when talking with Debangdan.
Because Debangdan is more of a total management of the club, but when it falls within the team, it is under the control of Situ Yunbing.
Debondan has no doubt about Situ Yunbing's ambitions and his determination to make Monaco better!
He had never doubted it before, but he was just questioning his ability. Now he has eliminated his concerns and is certainly willing to listen to Situ Yunbing's suggestions.
Situ Yunbing said seriously: "First of all, the club will list the useless players of the reserve team for sale. You don't have to suspect that I am cleaning up the players who oppose me. Even if they stay in the reserve team, it will not have any negative impact on my management of the first team. I know that the club has some financial difficulties. If we sell them, we will get rid of the burden and free up the salary system to prepare for winter signings!"
After Debangdan was happy, he heard Situ Yunbing's words and was immediately worried again.
He said with a hint of dismay: "But the club can't afford much money to sign up."
Situ Yunbing nodded and said, "I know this, so I have not asked the club to spend much money to sign up now. Let's take a look at it step by step. Anyway, the players in the reserve team are useless, so it's better to clean it up first."
Debondan thought about it and said, "I can promise you this."
In fact, after Adu left, Park Joo-yong was listed, and the remaining six players who were sent to the reserve team by Situ Yunbing. Their fate actually had little room for change. Even if Situ Yunbing left, the new coach would definitely cleanse these thorns!
Without a coach, there would be such hidden dangers under your nose.
Situ Yunbing continued: "The second thing, I found that the club's scouts are somewhat unrealistic in their work. I will review the reports they send back every week, but to be honest, many of the players they inspected this season have nothing to do with us. Some players in Ligue 1 who look good start at least 5 million euros. We are unable to afford such transfer expenses now. They have examined those players in detail, and these players are not affordable in the short term, so I hope you can adjust the work schedule of the club's scouts."
If you don’t have money, you can’t do anything, but the club can’t abandon the scout department. Debondan nodded and agreed with Situ Yunbing’s point of view. He asked: “So where should our scouts go to inspect the players?”
Situ Yunbing immediately said: "Leaving the scope of the five major leagues, let them go to Nordic, Eastern Europe, and South Asia. The players in Europe have not been furiously hyped. In these places, some players may not be famous, and even mainstream European media have never heard of it, but this is the big waves. If we dig out gold, it will definitely be ten times and a hundred times the reward for the club!"
Debondan sighed deeply: "Your idea is very good. To be honest, if you ask the club to take out a large amount of funds to sign up, I will have a headache because I can't promise you to use a small amount of funds to explore players of high quality and low price. If you think it is feasible, as the club chairman, I will definitely support it."
How could such a coach not support him?
The other coaches complained that the club had little investment and shouted to buy this star and that big name all day long. Situ Yunbing was better, and directly targeted the market outside the five major leagues!
Situ Yunbing has no choice. With Monaco's financial resources, let alone the transfer fee. Before the new season, Debangdan cut the team's salary by 40%. This situation usually only happens to relegated teams, but it happens to Monaco, a Class A team.
The main reason is that the club is carrying more than 60 million US dollars in debt, and Debangdan has reduced the club's debt by more than 15 million US dollars through his operations. If the seven players of the reserve team are cleaned up smoothly, the debt can be further reduced because the expenditure has been temporarily reduced. In addition, if Situ Yunbing leads the team to get a good result, then at the end of the season, Monaco's debt may be reduced by more than 50%!
Situ Yunbing now has another advantage that he knows which players have withstood the test of time in 10 years and can become a household name in the top stadium!
There are many of them who were not in the five major leagues when they debuted. The trouble is that Situ Yunbing cannot clearly know where the world-renowned stars are now 10 years later, so he needs Monaco's scout network to help him find them!
The cost of signing from places outside the five major leagues will not be too high, at least it will definitely be lower than the market price of the top leagues!
Situ Yunbing was very happy that Debangdan could agree to these two things. The two chatted and laughed in the office and had a few more cups in a row. Then Situ Yunbing went back to his office to rest for an hour before going to supervise the team's rest in the afternoon.
Morrow's injury requires 10 days of rest and will miss two games.
Perez was additionally punished by the French Football Association for fighting with Sirex in the player channel, and had a total of three games suspended!
Simici only needs to be suspended for one game.
Situ Yunbing had a headache about this because Perez would not be able to play in the league with Lyon after two rounds!
After the last game, Situ Yunbing drew three cards at home. What surprised him was that he drew two "Nion" cards and another "Mandanda".
Now he has eight cards in his hand, and he wants to accumulate two more rounds of games and then use them as much as possible when playing Lyon!
That is the Battle of Tianwang Mountain that declares Monaco to win the championship!
It must be won!
Things that happened after the two rounds are a bit far away now.
Situ Yunbing first has to welcome the fast train of the Ligue 1 League in the Chinese New Year.
Monaco faces the challenge of Nancy at the Stadium of Louis II.
Because the game is mid-week, the attendance rate is not high.
Although Situ Yunbing used Valbuena and Nian cards for Pino and Nimani in this game.
But facing Nancy who was defending away, Monaco seemed to be weak in offense!
On the one hand, Gakepe performed poorly on the wing and lacked the threat from the wing, so Monaco's offensive quality was greatly reduced. On the other hand, Merian, who has a very outstanding offensive hub role in the frontcourt, declined in form, which may be because his physical fitness has not recovered.
Nancy's record in the new season has declined significantly, which is precisely because its position in the standings is quite worrying. In addition, Monaco has been in a strong momentum in the past half month, and they have mainly defended the road.
Monaco attacked 90 minutes at home, but ended up having a blank sheet with Nancy!
This made Situ Yunbing a little embarrassed. He used two cards but failed to win the game. Moreover, his home record was indeed a bit unacceptable for fans.
He led the team to 7 league games, with three consecutive away games, but only one record of one win, two draws and one loss at home.
Chapter completed!
