Chapter 45 A reliable scorer at any time

"He's back in Italy?"

Yalding was surprised and angry.

"Yes, and he also gave an interview." Carlos shrugged. "This guy talks too much in the media."

Jardim stood up.

His expression gradually became calm, and even a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Okay.

The main striker blasted the head coach and teammates.

Monaco was suddenly at the center of public opinion.

The team has not won three games, lost two games in a row, and the main players are backstabbed.
This is what the outside world sees.

Monaco is almost on the verge of collapse and is going downhill.

But Jardim and Carlos looked at each other.

None of them looked particularly worried.

Because, this guy Salah is a lone wolf and has no foundation in the locker room.

even
Many players don't like him very much.

He blasted the head coach in the media.

It will only backfire - making the locker room hate him even more.

Thus.

The more media opinion becomes violent.

The more the media creates a scenario where "Monaco coach is under tremendous pressure and the club is falling apart."

The locker room is more united!
Yalding was not worried at all about this.

His only concern was whether Yangguang could withstand the pressure.

After all, he was only eighteen years old.

to be exact.

He will be eighteen in four days - this Chinese player, who was born on November 1997, 11, will travel to the away game against Angers, who are currently ranked fourth in the league, in the 11th round of the French Ligue on his birthday.

This is for the Sunshine, who have not scored a goal in two consecutive games.

A large part of the surging public opinion will be directed at him.

Can he withstand it?

There are many geniuses in this world.

But some geniuses ultimately failed to meet people's expectations.

Sunshine is a genius.

His physical fitness is very explosive and his feel for the ball is very soft.

He is only eighteen years old.

His future looks bright.

But many times.

Whether a player can realize his talent depends not only on how explosive his talent is.

There are also multiple factors at play.

Personality and the ability to withstand pressure play a big part.

Although Yangguang is young.

But he has already shown the "potential" of a "problem player".

For example, he was once expelled from the Chinese National Youth Team for beating his teammates.

For example, he gave the Real Madrid fans the middle finger during a Real Madrid match.

In professional football, there are actually quite a few similar "boys with unique personalities".

After all, professional football is actually an arena for talent.

The personalities of geniuses are different from those of ordinary people, and this is understandable.

But this way.

Players like Yang Guang have to constantly face pressure from public opinion and the media.

The time has come to test his ability to withstand pressure from public opinion and the media.

If he can bear it.

Then he has passed the test.

Of course.

There are still many levels waiting for him ahead.

For example, how to deal with wealth after suddenly becoming rich, whether you still have the ambition to make progress after becoming a multi-millionaire, whether you can resist the temptations around you, etc.

Yaerding looked at Yangguang and said, "Yang, the public opinion environment in the future may not be very friendly to you. You must be fully prepared mentally."

Sunshine grinned.

This actually means nothing to him.

When he was expelled from the national youth team, he encountered much more severe media and public opinion attacks than this. "Don't worry, as long as we can win and as long as I can score goals, the public opinion will be quickly diverted," he said, "I will definitely score in the next game!"

Jardim nodded: "I'm glad you have such confidence, but you don't need to put so much pressure on yourself. Messi's statistics at the age of 18 can't catch up with you. You still have a lot to learn and need to accumulate enough game experience."

"Every team's defensive strategy may be different, Yang, you need to think more, think more, football is not just about physical strength and technology, it also needs this."

Yalding pointed to his head and said.

Sunshine nodded.

Jardim directly gave up on Salah and supported himself, Yangguang must have been touched.

He knew that Yalding was under tremendous pressure now.

If he fails to score in the next game.

This kind of pressure.

It will increase exponentially!

And it will spread to the team.

Put the team into crisis.

"I know, but I know even more what will happen to me if I don't score in the next game." Yangguang clenched his fists, "So, I must score, one, two, or even three!"

"Only performance on the field can shatter all doubts!"

The sunshine is gone.

Jardim and Carlos looked at each other.

"He's better than I thought!"

After a while.

Carlos said.

Yalding smiled: "Maybe we should modify our strategy for the next game."

"?"

Carlos was a little confused.

The thirteenth round of the league.

Monaco will go away to challenge Angers.

Angers is in good form this season.

The current French Ligue 1 standings look like this:

Paris Saint-Germain: 8 wins, 3 draws, 1 loss, 27 points.

Lyon: 7 wins, 2 draws, 3 losses, 23 points.

Monaco: 6 wins, 5 draws, 1 loss, 23 points.

Ranked fourth is Angers.

The reason why this team was able to get 19 points and ranked fourth.

It depends on defense.

After 12 league rounds.

Angers scored 6 goals and its offensive ability ranked in the lower part of the league, tied for second to last.

But their defensive numbers are great.

In 12 games, only 5 goals were conceded.

Angers has conceded the fewest goals in the entire French Ligue 1!

Paris Saint-Germain, which had the second fewest goals conceded, conceded eight goals.

This shows the effort this team has put into defense this season.

French coach Moulin, who has been coaching Angers for nearly five years, is a follower of Mourinho.

He devoted himself to building a 433 defensive counterattack system in Angers - somewhat similar to the system Mourinho built when he first coached Chelsea.

Two tall central defenders, two full-backs with strong confrontation strength, three muscular midfielders, two fast wingers and a tall center forward with strong ability to attack the goal head-on.

This set seems a bit outdated in modern times.

But there is no doubt about it.

On defense.

The methods Mourinho used before did work.

Angers' midfield and backcourt have two central defenders who are over 1.9 meters tall, and two full-backs who are over 1.85 meters tall. In addition, there are three muscular midfielders who are over 1.85 meters tall, including Sanegalese beast N'Doye who is 1.93 meters tall.

The coverage area, confrontation intensity, and high-altitude ball defense that the Angers team can provide when defending in the low post are the best in Ligue 1!

before this.

The strategy formulated by the coaching staff is to use Yang Guang to attract and restrain the opponent's defense, allowing him to act as a supporting center and create opportunities for Lemar, B Silva and Mbappe to shoot in the penalty area arc.

but now.
Yalding decided to use sunlight as the main attack!

He wants to use this game to build absolute confidence for the Sunshine!
"Isn't this a bit risky?" Carlos asked.

"It's worth it!" Yalding smiled, "What we need is a top scorer that we can trust at any time!"
