I'm 198cm tall. Are you giving me a Maradona template?

Chapter 16 Domestic Public Opinion Fermentation
In fact.

Mbappe quickly realized.

It's not as simple as just starting for Sunshine.

He may very well be the answer to Monaco's striker in head coach Jardim's mind after Martial leaves!

That is
It is aimed at the core position.

This was clearly reflected in the tactical meeting.

"Lyon's two central defenders, Umtiti is 182cm tall and Yanga Mbiwa is 184cm tall. Judging from the previous few games, the probability of them starting in this game is very high!"

Assistant coach Carlos is explaining to everyone.

"So, our strategy is very simple, pass the ball to Yang's head! I don't think they will realize that Yang will start in this game." Carlos shrugged when he said this, "Then what if they realize it? Will they temporarily change the central defender combination?"

"That's probably not going to work!"

A player said loudly.

Suddenly, there was laughter in the conference room.

After these two days of training, everyone has clearly seen how powerful Yangguang's header is.

In addition, Yangguang has had a relatively short time to get used to everyone, so it makes sense to use some simpler tactics.

Jardim is actually thinking about changing the tactical system that Monaco has been playing in previous seasons from 4231 to 442.

However, considering the physical fitness and condition of the two elderly defensive midfielders, Toulalan and Moutinho, it would be too demanding for them to play as two central midfielders.
I don’t know if there are any players in Monaco who can play as double central midfielders in 442?

Maybe Fabinho can move him up from right back to play in midfield?

Bakayoko
Maybe.

Jardim threw out of his mind some small inspirations about Monaco's tactical system.

He is the head coach of the team, not a FM player.

Changing the tactical system that a team has played for so long is not something that can be done overnight.

It is not something that Jardim can do with just a single order to make the two veteran players, Toulalan and Moutinho, suddenly accept their substitute positions.

Tulane is the team captain.

And Jardim is the new head coach.

So we can't rush this matter, otherwise, before the tactical system is adjusted, the locker room will be in chaos.
The day before the game, Monaco announced the roster for this game on its official website and official social media account.

Except for a few injured players who were not included in the roster.

What attracted the most attention, of course, was that two Monaco youth team players were selected for the team's match roster for the first time.

Monaco's Twitter account posted two lovely photos of Mbappe and Sunshine, with the caption: Two outstanding students from our youth academy will be included in the match roster for this game!
Monaco fans quickly commented below.

The most popular one said: Can he replace Martial?

Obviously, Monaco fans are very dissatisfied with the team's decision to sell Martial at this time when the transfer window is about to close.

The window is almost closed.

You sell your main striker.

Do you really expect to replace him by promoting two forwards from the youth training camp?

at the pre-match press conference.

Head coach Jardim also faced questions from reporters.

“Who will replace Martial?”

A reporter stood up and asked.

"We have enough good players."

Yalding replied.

"Who will start as striker, Carrillo or Traore?"

Another reporter stood up.

"You will know when the starting lineup is announced before the game."

Yalding didn't want to reveal the fact that Sunshine was the first player to be selected in advance.

Lyon head coach Fournier did not pay too much attention to the two newcomers in Monaco's roster.

Especially the sunshine.

Mbappe is somewhat famous in France, so before the game, Fournier specifically mentioned that people should be careful of Mbappe.

He's very fast.

It is likely to be Monaco's backhand.

Preparation for a game requires meticulousness.

Every possible situation should be taken into consideration.

"Yangguang, Chinese, 1.98 meters tall. This guy is really tall."

Fournier glanced at Sunshine's information and threw it aside.

to him.

Sunshine, unknown, probability of appearing in this game: 0
A corner of the editorial office.

An editor in charge of French football was bored and copied the match information of this round of Ligue 1 from a French website, then published it as news after a slight translation.

Anyway.

Ligue 1 and French football do not receive much attention in China.

"Monaco vs. Lyon, this Ligue 1 focus battle may not be as popular as Everton vs. Aston Villa in the Premier League"

The editor muttered: "It's an unpopular department, no attention, no traffic, no performance, no money."

He yawned and his expression suddenly changed slightly.

"YANG"

"La Chine"

China!

The editor jumped up immediately.

"There is a Chinese player on the Monaco squad!"

He roared loudly.

Everyone turned their heads.

"What did you say?"

“Are there any Chinese players in Monaco’s squad?”

"who is it?!"

Everyone rushed over.

Chinese players appear in the five major leagues.

How long has this not happened?
There are some young Chinese players studying abroad in Europe now.

But it is either Portugal or the Netherlands, and most of them are concentrated in some "Chinese-funded" teams.

Everyone knows what the trick is: China is currently experiencing the peak period of money-driven football, and as long as a young player has some fame abroad, he will immediately attract the attention of domestic teams that invest over one billion yuan every season.

The annual salary of national team players is often tens or even hundreds of millions.

This is the best era for national team players.

"Sunlight?"

"It's him"

"He went to Monaco."

"Now that I'm on the list, I guess that's it."

Everyone dispersed.

One minute later.

It is pinned on the homepage of a certain APP.

[Overseas player Yang Guang was selected for the French Ligue 1 fifth round match between Monaco and Lyon at home]

Fans were quickly attracted by the news.

The number of comments skyrocketed.

Because Yangguang was banned in the country.

A player who was banned domestically was included in the match squad for the French Ligue 1 focus match.

This matter is prone to cause controversy.

With the spread of major news apps.

Chinese fans probably also know that Sunshine is included in Monaco's match roster.

However, whether it is the fans who think that Yangguang "does not deserve to die" or "Yangguang deserves it", everyone has a unanimous opinion: the probability of him appearing on the court is 0.

Under the new Weibo of Ma Dexin, editor-in-chief of "Football News".

Some people left messages intensively.

"Editor Ma, Yangguang is on the big list!"

"Editor Ma, what do you think?"

As for Yang Guang's domestic ban by the Football Association, the root cause was when Ma Dexin broke the news about the "National Youth Team Fighting Incident" on Weibo.

On the day of the match, two hours before the game, Ma Dexin came to his office, turned on his computer, and his expression changed when he saw the screen full of messages.

"This guy is haunting us!"

Ma Dexin's face changed slightly, and he forwarded an article [Beware of exporting young players to sell domestically], and wrote on Weibo: Some people are still trying to struggle? It's just something that can be done by spending some money.

This Weibo post was sent out.

Many Chinese fans immediately felt that it made a lot of sense.

"Yeah, it's just to get on the big list."

"What's the hype about being on the big list?"

"Can he play if he's on the roster? If he can play, I'll stand on my head and eat shit!"

"Here to get free food and drinks?"

When Ma Dexin saw this discussion, a smile appeared on his face.

As the penman of the Football Association, he is naturally quite capable.

however.

Half an hour later.
