Ye Yifeng had no time to say goodbye to Miguel Reel and his teammates, so he put his luggage on and rushed to Monaco for a physical examination.
Penafierdo is pastoral, while Monaco, a pocket-sized principality, is beautiful and gorgeous.
With the world-famous Costa ça de Monte Carlo Casino, the world-renowned Casino, it holds F1 events every year. In addition, the Monaco Palace fills this palm-sized place, and the bustling scenery is easy to make people lose their minds.
After Ye Yifeng passed the Monaco Club physical examination, he officially signed a contract with Monaco.
Penafiere received a transfer income of 2 million euros, which was almost like a free pickup.
Without a debut ceremony or a press conference, his arrival was insignificant for the ambitious club that had just returned to Ligue 1.
But it has a significant impact on Ye Yifeng.
Taking a long-distance bus from Monaco, he looked at the beautiful scenery of the sea and sky through the window on the coastal road. Ye Yifeng, who was blowing the sea breeze, felt refreshed and at the same time, he also felt ambition!
He wants to succeed here!
Tang Mo and him stayed in Nice, which was nearly an hour's drive from Monaco, because they couldn't afford to stay in Monaco's hotels.
At night, Tang Mo excitedly taught him the situation in Monaco.
For example, this is a tax haven.
For example, there are 3 rich people in every 10 people in Monaco!
Ye Yifeng had a quick glance at Monaco today and felt at ease, including luxury cars and supercars everywhere on the roadside, and dense yachts parked by the sea...
Before the break, Ye Yifeng handed over his salary card to Tang Mo and asked her to keep it because the two of them would rent a house next.
I can't afford to rent a house in Monaco, so I just rented a house in Nice. He just took a long-distance bus to the club, and it took an hour and a half to travel.
Monaco's new season preparations have begun. The media only mentioned Ye Yifeng's joining in the news, and no one really took him seriously.
Even if there are 11 goals in 10 games, it is only in the Portuguese League.
Any striker that Monaco will throw him out and throw him into the Portuguese League will definitely be the most popular in the league's Golden Boot.
When he first came to the Monaco locker room, no one cared about his existence.
Friendly teammates chat, and some players with cards will take the initiative to say hello and greet.
Ye Yifeng found the wardrobe with his name tag, changed his clothes and sneakers, and left the locker room.
"You're from Portugal, right?"
Ye Yifeng looked back and saw that he was not unfamiliar with the people who came into view. He often saw his photos in football news in Portugal.
Colombia striker Jamez Rodriguez.
Ye Yifeng stretched out his hand at him and smiled and said, "Yes, congratulations, Porto won the championship again last season."
James Rodriguez walked to the training ground with Ye Yifeng side by side, and he whispered: "The locker room is too noisy, and I have a headache when listening to French."
"Who said no? My former team was either a Brazilian or a Portuguese player, and it was like an international party."
"Yes, I feel this way, let's get used to it slowly.
I've seen reports about you in the news in Portugal.
You're very good at killing your opponent, right?"
Ye Yifeng smiled and said, "It's all the efforts of the team. Besides, that's Portuguese Portuguese."
James Rodriguez hit his arm and said: "Maybe you will often win the opponent in Ligue 1."
"I hope so too."
The two chatted casually to the training ground, and Ye Yifeng made his first friend in the new team.
Although the environment is unfamiliar, Ye Yifeng may not be unable to communicate with his teammates in the team.
Like the Portuguese players, Brazilian players, and Colombian players on the team, he can communicate with them in Portuguese.
But most others don't care about his existence.
The team began to prepare for the summer, and Ye Yifeng's performance in the team was not outstanding. The defensive midfielder and defender in the team were basically stronger than him. The center Falcao and Barazit among the forwards were obviously stronger than him.
As for the competition technology, he has no advantage at all.
After seeing the footwork skills of players such as Moutinho, James Rodriguez, Belgian Carrasco, Argentine Ocampos, etc. during training, Ye Yifeng was a little self-doubted: Why did Ranieri introduce himself?
Including the French genius Martial, who is only 18 years old, he always has a cold expression of "I am unique", but he does have the capital to be cool.
Other people's speed and technology can obviously surpass Ye Yifeng by ten streets.
During the regular physical reserve stage, Monaco only spends little time in ball training. In the coaching team led by Ranieri, assistant coaches Petit and Paul Bennetti will organize players to conduct group training, interspersing the indoctrination of tactical concepts.
The team's focus is still on new big-name players.
Midfield commander Moutinho, center Falcao, and Jamet Rodriguez are the most concerned by the coaching staff, and Ranieri also communicates with them the most.
Ye Yifeng?
There was a lot of players standing in front of him in the corner.
The time is coming to the end of July. Ye Yifeng has been training with the team for more than half a month. The team played at home warm-up match this day. Ye Yifeng did not perform much on the bench because he had already entered garbage time.
Moreover, the more he actively supports him on the court, the more his teammates ignore his existence. Other teammates want to perform and will not give up the opportunity.
In a small community in the northern suburbs of Nice, Tang Mo finally decided to rent a two-bedroom apartment here after two weeks of careful selection.
Cleaning a day, decorating it in a simple day, and putting new wall cloth on the walls and changing into new lighting and curtains, the apartment was immediately renovated.
Today, Ye Yifeng returned to the apartment and delivered the furniture he ordered to his home. Except for the wardrobe and bed placed in the bedroom, other appliances were placed in the living room.
Ye Yifeng and Tang Mo successively placed the electrical appliances in various designed positions, placed the TV cabinet, put the TV on, lay the carpet on the living room, and put the coffee table on it.
After pushing the sofa against the wall, both of them fell on the sofa tiredly.
However, looking at the simple and exquisite appearance of the apartment, the two looked at each other and smiled.
We went out for dinner together and returned to the apartment. Ye Yifeng had already taken a shower after the daytime game, but he was sweating again when he moved the furniture, so he went into the bathroom to take a shower.
Standing under the spray, he was suddenly hugged by Tang Mo from behind. Ye Yifeng smiled and said, "Wrinkle your back again? I am really spotless every day now."
Tang Mo said softly against Ye Yifeng's back: "Ye Yifeng, I want to give you a reward."
"Why?"
"Because you're under a lot of pressure."
Ye Yifeng is indeed under pressure in Monaco for more than half a month!
It is impossible for him to suddenly become as high as his teammate!
He even felt that he would not be able to reach the technical strength of his teammates in the future.
How could it be without pressure?
"What do you want to reward me?"
"I reward Tang Mo to you. My name is Tang Mo, Mo, who is with you."
......
The snow-white beach washed by the sea water and the scene of gentle waves hitting the shore are caught in your eyes.
Ye Yifeng leaned against the car window, and half of his face was shining with sunlight, as if he was emitting light.
Thinking of the first night with Tang Mo last night was like a dream. He knew that Tang Mo regarded that apartment as the home of the two, so why didn’t he do that?
The phone suddenly vibrated in his pocket and he found that it was his father calling.
After hanging up the phone, he smiled bitterly.
My father received a transfer of 300,000 euros yesterday.
That was the signing fee that Monaco had paid him recently, and the bank card was with Tang Mo. Unexpectedly, she transferred the money to Ye Jianhua.
My parents decided to use the money to buy two houses, one big house for him to get married in the future, and the other small house for his parents to live in, so that they can save rent. Anyway, they will be left to Ye Yifeng in the end.
......
As the new season of Ligue 1 approaches, Ranieri has only given Ye Yifeng a substitute time of about 20 minutes in the warm-up match to observe his performance.
The Monaco coaching staff did not have a high opinion of Ye Yifeng.
But it is not without advantages.
Defensively.
This is the main reason why Ranieri fell in love with Ye Yifeng at the beginning.
As an Italian coach, he naturally puts defense first.
The roles and status of some players in Monaco's attack group in the new season are very stable and uncontroversial.
Center Falcao, Jamez Rodriguez, who can play front midfielder or winger.
Midfield commander Moutinho, the person who bought it for a lot of money is naturally unshakable.
Who are the remaining components?
In terms of the front line, it seems that Martial is definitely ahead of Ye Yifeng.
The 23-year-old Rivier and new player Barazit are both center substitutes.
But there is also a 23-year-old French striker Germann who is enough to compete for the main position.
Ranieri will find a problem if he wants to piece together the front line.
If Moutinho drags the organization behind, the team needs to contribute more strength to the front line in defense. If Martial starts, either Monaco can defeat the opponent in a devastating manner, or they will be worried about the midfield defense.
If Moutinho plays as a midfielder, this problem does not exist, because two midfielders with strong defensive strength can be arranged behind him to protect him, so that the attacking group can destroy the opponent's defense line to the fullest.
No matter how he arranges his troops, the starting point for sending Ye Yifeng is to strengthen the team's overall defense and make up for the shortcomings of the front line's insufficient contribution to defense.
This situation is common for big-name stars to have weak defensive awareness.
Since Monaco does not have an absolutely gorgeous forward line now, he still needs to be hard-working and hard-working player.
Even if Ye Yifeng is just a temporary choice.
Chapter completed!
