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

Chapter 40 The Price of Fame
The sun came earlier than other players.

What he didn't expect was.

On the training ground.

The team's head coach Jardim has arrived.

"BOSS"

Yangguang ran over and looked at Yalding with some confusion.

Yaerding smiled and said, "Don't be confused. I'm here to wait for you."

"Are you discussing a professional contract with the team?"

“Well…” Yangguang scratched his head.

He still has a good impression of Yalding.

After all, the coach had great confidence in him, allowing a rookie from the youth team to become the team's top scorer right away.

Therefore, if Jardim came to persuade him to accept the team's contract, the Sunshine should give him some face.

Yading waved his hand and said, "Of course I hope you can sign a professional contract with the team as soon as possible. But I am a coach, not the general manager or sports director of the team. I will not discuss the contract with you, so don't feel pressured."

"I just want to talk to you about the team's goals for this season. What do you think we should aim for?"

"Of course it's the French Ligue 1 champion." Sunshine grinned without any hesitation.

Yaerding glanced at him and said, "Actually, I think so too."

"That"

"I didn't say it in front of the players because I didn't want to put pressure on them, and I also had to see how the winter transfer window went. Yang, your presence made up for our problems on the offensive end, so if we can strengthen our defense in the winter transfer window, we may not be unable to win the championship!"

Yangguang nodded, he understood what Yalding meant.

A professional player.

There are only two pursuits.

First, it’s money.

In a narrow sense, it means salary.

Second, it is honor.

In other words.

It's fame and profit.

The two complement each other.

Being famous will naturally bring benefits.

Therefore, many young players will not pursue the level of salary too much, but pay more attention to their tactical positioning in the team, the team's goals, the size of the platform, etc.

Otherwise, if you want to pursue high or low salary.

Many players can get salaries far higher than those in European leagues in the Chinese Super League, American professional leagues, the Middle East and other places where money-driven football is in full swing.

Jardim told him this to tell him that Monaco is a team with aspirations.

"Boss, don't worry, I will definitely stay in the team this season." Yangguang said. He knew that this was the answer the head coach needed.

Otherwise, the number one center forward who was established with great difficulty would leave after playing for half a season.

That would have a huge impact on Monaco.

Yalding nodded and said, "Then I'm relieved. The team will do its best to keep you."

This statement is somewhat "illegal".

Because if Raiola knew this, wouldn't it make him more confident?
However, Jardim is not the owner of Monaco Club, and he knows that the club is rich, so spending some money to keep the team's top center forward is not a big deal.

"I'm not just talking to you about this." Yalding waved his hand, motioning for Yangguang to walk around the court with him, "You're very famous now."

"I know." Yangguang smiled. He is now a big celebrity in Monaco. His photo can be seen on the front page of any newspaper stand on the street.

"Being famous has its advantages, but it also has its price," Jardim said. "I can guarantee that the head coaches of every team in the entire French Ligue 1 are studying you through a magnifying glass."

"This means that in future games, you will be subject to the most stringent defense. Double or even triple-teaming will be the norm. You must be mentally prepared."

Yangguang nodded seriously, "I understand!"

Once you become a star, you will be studied under a magnifying glass by everyone and your shortcomings will be infinitely magnified.

This is something every famous player goes through.

Those forwards who can maintain stable output every season are not simple.

"Go train."

"okay!"

Jardim was right.

In the eighth round of the French Ligue 1.

In Monaco's away game against Montpellier, Montpellier took the tactic of double-teaming Sunshine.

Neither of Montpellier's two central defenders is too tall.

Hilton is 1.80 meters tall and Kongor is 1.85 meters tall.

So they adopted the double-team strategy in this game.

As long as Yang Guang appears in the penalty area, the two central defenders will pay special attention to him.

As for Shaarawi.
Montpellier solved the problem by having the defensive midfielder retreat and the full-backs move inwards.

This approach should be considered quite cautious.

Montpellier is not a weak team in Ligue 1. They are a regular at the top of the Ligue 1 standings and often appear in the Europa League and even the Champions League.

In the end, they were suppressed in their own home court.

This is mainly because.

The sunlight posed too great a threat to their defense.

The game lasted twenty-five minutes.

Montpellier's defenders and midfielders were so tired that they held their knees with their hands and gasped for breath.

How can this not be tiring?
Monaco's big No. 39 player is great at making crosses, through balls on the ground, or long passes from the backcourt.

Always comes to him.

And to stop him from scoring.

Montpellier's defenders have to compete with him in terms of physical strength.

Do everything you can to stop him, interfere with him, and prevent him from scoring!

But the sun became more and more excited as he kicked.

He knew that this was the critical period for contract negotiations.

While Raiola negotiated in the back, he fought at the front.

Every outstanding performance of his is adding bricks and tiles to the first big contract of his career!
"What the hell"

On the sidelines, Montpellier head coach Kourbis cursed under his breath.

This sentence is almost becoming the catchphrase of every head coach of the team that competes against the Suns.

At this moment.

Montpellier's home stadium, the Stade Ramonçon, can accommodate 33,000 spectators.

It has almost become the world of away team fans.

Logically speaking, the home fans with a number of up to 30,000 can easily suppress the 3,000 Monaco fans who come to the away game.

But Montpellier fans can't care about that now.
because.

Now their defense is ravaged.

Every time the ball fell on the head or feet of Monaco's center forward.

They always have a heartbeat.

Monaco's tactics seem very simple.

It's about passing the ball to their big center in various ways.

But Montpellier just had no way to counterattack.

Thirty-nine minutes into the game.

Yangguang received the ball in the penalty area, pressing the center back.

He pretended to turn around and shoot, and even Montpellier's midfielder shrank back in fear.

As a result, after Yangguang turned halfway, his heels hit each other.

B Silva entered the penalty area and took the ball forward and shot with his left foot on the small penalty area line, easily scoring.

Around the point of sunlight.

Monaco can make many tactical changes.

Seeing the goal, Jardim stood up and applauded the players' performance.

And Kulbis's face turned pale.

It seems that the method he developed to deal with the sunlight is not working.

He must think of another way as soon as possible.
otherwise.

He felt that the team would definitely be even more unable to hold on in the second half - considering Montpellier's poor form since the start of the season.

Kourbis feels his time as Montpellier head coach is already counting down
