Chapter 71: Disgusting this feeling! (Two-in-one chapter)
At the post-match press conference, Lille coach Puel said with a wry smile that even God was on the side of the Marseille team in this game. He had every reason to feel unwilling to accept it. If Zhang Yang's goal had not broken the deadlock on the court, it would be hard to say who would have won the game. At least Lille's chances of getting a draw are quite high. The reason why Puel said that the Marseille team was too lucky was that Zhang Yang's goal was too surprising. Zhang Yang was watched tightly in today's game. There were only three shots in the whole game, and the goal shot was the only shot within the goal range, but he scored.
Isn't this considered lucky?
He was right. Even Fernandez thought Zhang Yang's goal was so lucky.
The Marseille team that won the make-up match rose one place, from eighth to seventh, and the team that lost Lille still ranked fifth.
Fernandez saw Zhang Yang feel a little depressed after the game. He guessed why. It seems that this kid is not satisfied with his goal. The young man has a strong sense of motivation and crisis. Before Fernandez said anything, the young man himself realized the problem.
What Fernandez can help Zhang Yang with is to develop a special training plan for Zhang Yang, hoping to improve his abilities as soon as possible and make him more comprehensive. He really can't help much else. At this time, the most important thing is that Zhang Yang is not discouraged and can work harder to improve himself.
Of course, now, the biggest enemy in front of Zhang Yang is time. His foundation is poor, so it is not that easy to fully improve his strength. Fernandez himself doesn't know that if Zhang Yang performs poorly in the next two games and is completely limited by his opponent, will he still give this young man a starting opportunity? You know, the team's experienced veteran Pagis has returned from injury, and Fernandez can already have extra choices on the front line.
At this time, Fernandez felt that it was a bit too mysterious. When he had no choice but to trust Zhang Yang in the front line before, he could only trust Zhang Yang. This kid did perform well. Now Zhang Yang seems to be in trouble, but the team's injury has recovered from injury.
Ha, it seems that this kid came to help the Marseille team through those weeks of casualty crisis!
Fernandez knew that his idea was not fair to Zhang Yang, so he was willing to give Zhang Yang confidence. After all, this is a young man he is optimistic about. He was still willing to give Zhang Yang more opportunities.
The head coach of the Marseille team is a little confused about the team's performance and the desire to train this young man.
However, in the end, his balance tends to give him as much opportunity as possible without sacrificing the team's performance. For a head coach, this is already valuable.
Fernandez felt that he had inexplicable confidence in this young man, which made him feel strange. He didn't know what was going on with this confidence.
Zhang Yang's other abilities are average, but under such circumstances, Zhang Yang can perform so well. If he can improve in other aspects, Fernandez believes that Zhang Yang is very likely to become an excellent shooter.
His expectations for Zhang Yang have increased now. He previously thought that Zhang Yang's achievement was to become a qualified Ligue 1 player.
Now, he began to increase his expectations for Zhang Yang. If this young man worked hard enough and a little bit of luck, he could become an excellent shooter.
What is an excellent shooter? It is the kind who is stronger than ordinary people and worse than top players.
Well, it means not to go up or down.
※※※※※※※※※※
Just the next morning, Fernandez came to the office. He had just sat down when he heard a knock on the door.
It is his secretary, Miss Milusi.
"Sir, there is a fax here."
"Fax?" Fernandez was stunned. He took the fax and did not look at it immediately. He asked subconsciously, "What is this saying?"
"The fax sent by Monaco, they hope to buy our No. 27 player ticket during the winter transfer. They offer 1 million euros." Miss Milusi replied conscientiously.
Fernandez tsk, it was interesting. In the Monaco game, Deschamps used the double-team tactic to freeze Zhang Yang in the second half. Deschamps should have seen Zhang Yang's shortcomings, but it was the Monaco head coach who sent a fax at this time, saying that he wanted to buy Zhang Yang.
1 million euros.
This is not a small amount of money. For a 19-year-old young man, this kind of value is quite high. Not to mention that Zhang Yang is a free agent to join Marseille. If Marseille sells Zhang Yang to Monaco, it will make a net profit of one million euros at once. Not to mention that Zhang Yang has now used seven goals to help the Marseille team achieve a proud record of three wins and one draw in the last four games. Marseille team is definitely making a fortune on Zhang Yang.
Fernandez threw the fax into the trash without thinking.
"Sir——" Secretary Miss Mi Lusi covered her sexy little mouth.
"Nothing. Please reply to Monaco for me, Zhang is a non-sale product for the team."
"Not selling products?" The secretary became even more confused.
"That's right, that's it." Fernandez said affirmatively that Deschamps underestimated his own vision. He discovered his talent for gallantry, so how could he sell this young man to others casually?
In a sense, Fernandez was originally confident in Zhang Yang, and this sudden offer made Fernandez realize that on the other hand, with Zhang Yang's continuous goals, this young man has attracted the attention of other teams.
Fernandez suddenly remembered the contract that Marseille signed with Zhang Yang. Although this contract was also a professional contract, Zhang Yang was only a player of the Marseille youth team at that time, so the salary and benefits of this contract were very low. Fernandez knew very well that Zhang Yang's treatment could be said to be the last in the entire Marseille first team!
Such treatment is definitely not possible. At this time, if other teams come to poach, just making a fuss about personal treatment, Zhang Yang may be moved.
Although Zhang Yang seems to be in a bottleneck now, out of confidence in his own vision and confidence in Zhang Yang's future, Fernandez feels that the most urgent task is to give Zhang Yang a new contract. And the contract must be expressed sufficient sincerity.
Avoid other teams poaching.
Monaco head coach Deschamps will see Zhang Yang's potential. Who can guarantee that no one else likes Zhang Yang?
※※※※※※※※※※
Fernandez plans to go to club chairman Diouf to talk about Zhang Yang. Although he can decide the player's contract as the head coach. However, Fernandez feels it is necessary to communicate with Mr. Chairman. Diouf does not know about Zhang Yang's potential. Perhaps Mr. Chairman will think that Zhang Yang is optional and even agree to other teams' acquisition requests.
Although this possibility is not great, Fernandez feels that it is necessary to prevent problems before they happen.
Fernandez had just come out of the office and wanted to go to Mr. Chairman's office when he saw the club chairman Diouf turn out from the stairs.
Diouf also saw Fernandez. After seeing him, he waved hello happily, "Do you want to go out, our head coach."
A few weeks ago, Diouf did not treat Fernandez like this. At that time, the whole of France was talking about when Fernandez would be dismissed. Faced with this kind of discussion, Diouf never really supported Fernandez. At most, he said, "Marcelona is a big club with its own long-term plan and will not easily change the head coach." Listen, not changing the head coach easily does not mean that he will not be able to do so.
However, more than a month has passed, and the Marseille team has relied on Zhang Yang's outstanding performance and has ushered in a climax of three wins and one draw. It has come out of the trough, and at least it is on the 'health track'.
The Chairman also came to the training base more often. When he saw Fernandez, he smiled more often and would say hello on his own initiative and would not avoid him.
※※※※※※※※※※
"I'm going to find you, Mr. Chairman," said Fernandez.
Diouf nodded: "I know what you plan to do with me, too."
Fernandez was stunned. Then he asked, "Chairman, are you referring to?"
"I received a call from Mitchell Past," Diouf said.
Fernandez immediately understood that the Chairman's Mitchell Past was the chairman of the Monaco Club. What would this gentleman call Diouf? Fernandez thought of Monaco's offer about Zhang Yang, but could he not know what was going on? However, Fernandez was still surprised. He could not have thought that Deschamps valued Zhang Yang so much that he would actually persuade the Chairman to come forward for the 19-year-old young man.
"Sir, do you mean?" Fernandez asked. Although he asked, he had made up his mind that even if Diouf agreed to sell Zhang Yang to Monaco in the winter transfer market, he would stop it.
Diouf smiled: "I plan to give him a new career contract. A richer career contract."
Fernandez was stunned.
It seemed very satisfied with Fernandez's expression. Diouf pointed to the north. You are Monaco's place. "Of course I believe your vision. Any player you value has proved their success! How could I agree with Mitchell Paste if he wants to dig out the corner of Marseille?"
Fernandez then smiled, and he remembered a rumor that Monaco president Mitchell Past had always had conflicts with Marseille club chairman Diouf. It seemed that this matter was true.
"I mean the same thing. We should give this young man a new contract that can express sincerity."
Diuf put his hand on his chin and rubbed it back and forth, without answering Fernandez's words immediately. He pondered for a moment and said, "You can do it in detail. I will not interfere with your work, but I have a suggestion."
"Please say it."
"It's better to talk to that guy about a new contract after our match with Nancy or one or two games later."
Fernandez understood that although the Chairman did not understand the team's players, it seemed that he had been influenced by the media. After yesterday's supplementary game with Lille, Le Figaro, the largest in France, said that players like Zhang Yang, who are seriously skewed in science, have performed worse than each game, and predicted that Zhang Yang will soon become mediocre and even be abandoned by the Marseille team.
Seeing what Fernandez was thinking, Diuf waved his hand as if he was generous, "Okay, you decide for yourself, I believe in your vision."
Fernandez said happily: "I thank you for Zhang, Mr. Chairman."
"Don't thank me. You did a good job. The ball will be very satisfied." This is why Diouf decided not to interfere in this matter. Fernandez led the Marseille team as if it had come out of the trough, and the Chairman also wanted to ease the relationship with Fernandez and make up for the cracks. Naturally, Zhang Yang would no longer be too entangled in the "small matter" of renewing the contract. In addition, Zhang Yang stood up when the team needed the most, which made Diouf have a good impression of this young man.
Even if this young man can't perform well in the future, it's nothing. Just think that the team thanked him for the key goal at this time. Diouf thought to himself that the current financial situation of the Marseille club has improved a lot, so naturally he won't care about this little money.
※※※※※※※※※※
Zhang Yang is eager to become stronger, and he trains harder in the dungeon, and he wants to improve himself. Moreover, Zhang Yang believes that he can do it as long as he works hard.
But he soon discovered that things were not as smooth as he thought…he began to really get into trouble.
On December 4, in the 17th round of the Ligue 1, Marseille challenged Nancy away.
Before this, the two teams ranked seventh in Marseille, while Nancy ranked eleventh. This game is also considered the best opponent for Marseille in the past month. Nancy is the newly promoted team this season. After five years of hard work in the B League, Nancy finally returned to the A-level as the French League champion. This Metz derby team seems cautious in the face of the challenges of the new season. Relegation is the only goal, and the first priority is defensive. Most of Nancy's main players are self-produced by the youth training camp. The team's strength is very average.
Therefore, French media are generally optimistic that Marseille will win Nancy away, further improving their points and rankings in the standings.
In this game, Zhang Yang started again. Although he had already shown signs of "being thoroughly studied and frozen" in the mid-week rematch with Lille, Fernandez still chose to give Zhang Yang the trust and let him start, and veteran Paggis, who had returned from injury, continued to wait on the bench.
However, in this game, Zhang Yang, who scored seven goals in four games, finally lost his temper in today's game and he did not score.
In this game, Nancy obviously found the experience of defending Zhang Yang from the match between Marseille and Lille, and Zhang Yang was hit by the most tenacious blockade.
Nancy played the double team to the extreme. In addition, they adopted rough tactics in the game. Zhang Yang was knocked down many times during the game. Sometimes, even if he could intercept the ball, he still used the shovel to give Zhang Yang a warning and made him scared.
Zhang Yang was really not used to this two-pronged tactic. Although he was not scared by the rough tactics of the Nancy people, the whole game was frozen tightly.
※※※※※※※※※※
Fernandez saw Zhang Yang doing nothing in the face of the opponent's defense in the coaching seat. He knew that Nancy's coaching staff must have put a lot of effort into studying Zhang Yang. After all, both Nantes, Lille and Monaco had been successful in defending Zhang Yang. Nancy now only needs to mix these things and find the best way to freeze Zhang Yang.
In fact, Zhang Yang's shortcomings are obvious. You can know with a little research. This is not a secret. At the beginning, Fernandez was willing to give Zhang Yang a chance. In addition to being optimistic about Zhang Yang, he was more important to rely on him to spend the tense days of the forward staff. Otherwise, Zhang Yang would definitely be in the youth team. Unexpectedly, after coming to the first team, Zhang Yang performed so well, scoring seven goals in four games, which was simply the level of a superstar! Therefore, Fernandez has increased his expectations for Zhang Yang now. He seems to be more confident about Zhang Yang.
Of course, Fernandez himself also knows that a striker who is serious about science and technology is very good for experienced defenders like Ligue 1. As long as he grasps Zhang Yang's characteristics and shortcomings, it is easy to defend... However, Fernandez still gave Zhang Yang a chance in this game, hoping that he can seize the few opportunities to score goals, just like he did in the mid-week game against Lille.
However, it is obvious that Zhang Yang was strictly guarded today and had no good luck. He had just started ten minutes of the second half. Seeing that Zhang Yang was still performing poorly and was powerless in the face of Nancy's defense, Fernandez had to replace him.
Fernandez replaced Zhang Yang, and he replaced veteran Pargis. He hoped to use the veteran's experience to help the team solve the difficulties.
Zhang Yang, who was replaced, walked to the sidelines with his head down. He was a little dejected. This does not mean that Zhang Yang was discouraged. He was too disappointed with his performance today.
※※※※※※※※※※
French National 1 commentator Visto shook his head and said, "Zhang was replaced! His performance today is really bad, he has no chance, maybe he is too tired. For this young man who has never played professional games before, it is really too dense to play five consecutive games and start four games."
Vesto likes Zhang Yang very much. He said this, but he had a little excuse for Zhang Yang. He didn't want to see this young man be criticized again.
To be continued...
