Chapter 349 Ligue [-] plummets

On the first-team training ground, assistant coach Puro and Makelele chatted on the sidelines.

"The boss went to the transfer department again?"

"Well, I saw him answer the phone just now, so I hurried over."

"How's your expression?"

"Poker face."

"Oh, it's probably not good news."

Since 2009, due to busy transfer matters, Yunsheng has put more energy on it, and the team's training work has basically been handed over to assistant coaches Pro and Makelele.

Pu Luo is the veteran of the team, with a steady and down-to-earth personality, and is serious and responsible on the training ground. Yun Sheng is very reassuring of him.

Since Makelele came to Monaco, he has been working as a part-time assistant coach. In addition to his own training, he also helps his teammates in training.

Half an hour later, Yun Sheng came back. He was sitting on the sidelines, flipping through the documents in his hand, shaking his head repeatedly.

In the end, he simply threw the materials aside, closed his eyes, and didn't know what he was thinking.

"Claude, the training ground will be handed over to you first, I'll go and see him."

"Okay Pro, you go."

When Pu Luo came to Yun Sheng's side, he knew that the situation was not good without opening his mouth. He asked in a low voice, "The other club doesn't agree with our transfer offer?"

Yun Sheng sighed: "Although less than a week has passed since January 2009, I can basically confirm that Monaco's winter transfer window has ended ahead of schedule. Those clubs are either unwilling to let people go, or the clubs are willing and the players have ideas."

"I originally thought that even if I couldn't buy Lucio and Arshavin, it wouldn't be a big problem to buy a few young stars from the Ligue [-] and the Eredivisie, right? I didn't expect that even they would be dismissive of Ligue [-]. Alas, is the influence of Ligue [-] really so low now?"

Looking in the direction of the court, Proud suddenly asked: "Do you still remember, which year was the last time a Ligue [-] team won the Champions League?"

"Yes..." Even Yun Sheng, who has a wealth of football knowledge, was stunned for a moment, and after a while he came to a conclusion, "It was the 1992-1993 season, when Marseille won the Champions League. After that, no Ligue [-] team has won the highest honor in Europe."

Pu Luo nodded: "Yes, until Manchester United won the championship last year, the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A and Bundesliga have almost taken over these years. Manchester United and Liverpool in the Premier League, Real Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga, Juventus and AC Milan in Serie A, Bayern and Dortmund in the Bundesliga."

"The only two non-big five league teams won the championship were Porto in the 0304 season and Ajax in the 9495 season. It was because of the star blowout of the two teams and the sluggish state of the giants that they were lucky to win the Champions League."

"And what about Ligue 0304? It has been more than ten years since Monaco won the Champions League. The closest one was Monaco in the [-] season. It reached the final of the Champions League, but lost to that special Portuguese and lost the best chance to reach the top."

"The Champions League is the highest honor stage for European clubs. If you can't do well there, how can Ligue [-] not be underestimated? If one day you can lead Monaco to win the Champions League, you will definitely be able to buy whoever you want, haha."

Yun Sheng glanced at his mouth: "Champions of the Champions League? That's too far away, and it's not something I should consider now. Let alone the Champions League, if the team can participate in the Champions League next season, I will be very happy."

Pro suddenly asked: "If you stayed in Cottbus, you would be able to participate in the Champions League this season, but you gave up. Do you regret it now?"

Yun Sheng didn't answer Pu Luo's words. He looked towards the sky and fell into deep thought...

Although he has left Germany, Yunsheng is still very concerned about everything about Cottbus, and Yunsheng is also very familiar with the current situation of Cottbus.

In the past half season, Cottbus has simply experienced a disaster.

Since new coach Prasznica from Slovenia took office, he has remodeled the team extensively, and the team has been in turmoil. Not only has the team lost consecutive games in the league, but the team is panicked. Players such as Shao Jiayi and Yu Hai have also heard rumors of leaving the team.

Under such an unfavorable situation of internal and external troubles, Chairman Crane had no choice but to fire Prashnika at the end of December.The Slovenian left without even spending his first Christmas in Cottbus.

With no one available, Crane once again helped Sandel to the position of head coach.

After Sandor took office, he reactivated the three Hua Guo generals represented by Shao Jiayi, won three consecutive league victories in one go, and quickly escaped the relegation zone.

But to be fair, Prashnika is not useless, at least in the Champions League, he led Cottbus to create a miracle.

Although Cottbus participated in the UEFA Champions League group stage for the first time, they miraculously broke through the encirclement and successfully qualified for the second place in the group!
This made the Cottbus club ecstatic.

While happy, everyone began to miss Yun Sheng who had left.

This time the Champions League journey, Yunsheng can be said to have contributed a lot.In several important games, the players introduced by Yunsheng last season played well.

Yu Hai scored the first goal of a Chinese player in the Champions League, helping the team win a difficult victory.

Shao Jiayi's free kick stunt showed his style in the Champions League. He scored twice from the free kick to help the team get an important three-pointer.

In the draw of the sixteenth final, Cottbus drew the Ligue [-] powerhouse Bordeaux.

In the end their miracle did not continue.

Bordeaux won two 2-0 matches in two rounds, and easily eliminated the Champions League newcomer Cottbus.

Although the Cottbus players tried their best, Cottbus could not compare with Bordeaux in terms of tactics or player ability. The strength gap between the two teams was not small, and Cottbus did not create a bigger miracle.

Their favorite team was eliminated from the UEFA Champions League. Cottbus fans missed Yunsheng in Monaco even more. You must know that even though Bordeaux is strong, Yunsheng just led the team to beat Bordeaux 4-2 in the Ligue [-] not long ago, winning heartily.

"If Yunsheng is still in Cottbus, we can at least reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League!"

The local media in Cottbus wrote so.

But Yun Sheng didn't care about these anymore, after all, he was no longer the coach of Cottbus, so it was meaningless to guess what would happen if he stayed in Cottbus.

For him now, the double match in Monaco is the biggest problem he will face...
