The four most wanted players failed to come, and Yun Sheng had no time to be depressed. He quickly sent out transfer applications to several candidate player clubs.
Unfortunately, the bid for the alternative player was also very unsatisfactory. Either the opposing club did not agree, or the opposing player was unwilling to choose to leave the team during the winter transfer period.
Several days passed, and Yun Sheng still found nothing.
Although Yun Sheng tried every means, it still had no effect.
Looking at the various news flying all over the transfer market, Yun Sheng couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Although Ligue 1 is one of the five major leagues, compared with the Premier League, Serie A and La Liga, it is still far behind.
Even compared with the somewhat declining Bundesliga, there is still more than one rank difference.
During the summer transfer period, many fans complained that he did not understand player transfers and most of the players he bought were expired stars.
But how did they know that Yunsheng had 20 million euros in hand and there was really no better place to spend his money.
He always looks down on Ligue 1 and always wants to go to a bigger league, which makes Yunsheng very depressed.
At that time, being able to buy Ujfalusi and Kompany, and signing stars like Recoba and Shevchenko was already Monaco's upper limit.
Before this winter transfer period, Yunsheng was optimistic that the situation would be better.
After all, Monaco is currently ranked fourth in Ligue 1. In the European theater, it should be attractive to go from a bottom-tier team in the Bundesliga to a team that has a chance to participate in the European war next season.
But he didn't expect that the bad situation would not change.
Now it seems that whether it is Ligue 1 or Monaco, their influence and attention are too low. In some cases, they are not even comparable to leagues such as Belgium and Eredivisie.
Seeing Yunsheng's recruitment difficulties, even Liu Surong couldn't help complaining: "I think if you stay in Cottbus this season, the league and team will be far more attractive than Monaco."
Yun Sheng waved his hand: "Then do you think Kelan is willing to give me 20 million in transfer fees?"
"impossible……"
"That's fine, it's useless to have a big influence. The support of the team is the most important."
Despite this, Liu Surong still put forward her own ideas: "If you have the opportunity, I still suggest that you go to a bigger stage to show your talent in the future. Even if you don't want to go back to the Bundesliga, it is good to go to the Premier League, Serie A, and La Liga. Not only can you It will improve your coaching level, and it will also be of great benefit to promote Yuntian Company."
"Although you are right, I will not leave at least these two seasons. Since I promised Prince Albert to help him revive Monaco, I will definitely do it. When I bring Monaco a few decent championships , it’s not too late to talk about the future at that time.”
Yun Sheng not only said this, he also did it.
In the past few days, the players have all returned to the team and started training. They have shorter holidays than many French Ligue 1 teams.
Because before the start of Ligue 1 in the second half, the domestic cup competition is about to start.
There are two domestic cup competitions in France, one is the French Cup and the other is the French League Cup.
The French Cup, also known as the Charles Simao Cup, was founded on January 15, 1917. It was originally named after Charles Simao to commemorate him. This is a cup competition organized by the French Football Association and open to French professional and amateur football clubs, covering a wide area.
The French League Cup is a single-elimination cup competition hosted by the French Professional League. The winner of the cup can participate in the Europa League. Unlike the Coupe de France, the French League Cup is limited to professional league clubs.
Because the French League Cup champion can participate in the European League, in the minds of many teams, the French League Cup is more important.
One of Yunsheng's goals this season is to help the team win a cup championship trophy.
In October last year, the French League Cup had already started. Because the opponents were not strong and almost all were players from the French low-level leagues, Yunsheng did not send the main players. He arranged for most of the youth team players to appear on the first team. Several young substitutes also got the opportunity to start.
To Yunsheng's surprise, these players actually played a very wonderful cooperation. They completely let go of their hands and feet in the game. Although they were young and lacked experience, these young people were full of confidence when facing low-level league teams. They had a very open game, easily defeated their opponents by a big score, and successfully advanced to the top 16 of the French League Cup.
In the quarter-finals in December, these young people once again showed their bravery, winning the game with overwhelming force and advancing to the French League Cup quarter-finals.
On January 9, they met Grenoble in the quarter-finals to compete for a spot in the semi-finals.
Three days before this game, the first game of the French Cup finals will also start on January 6.
For a few months in the second half of last year, France's lower-level league teams competed for a place in the French Cup finals. Ligue 1 teams did not participate. Now 64 teams will compete in the French Cup finals. .
Because of this, Monaco's training time is earlier than most teams.
After these two games, the second half of the French Ligue 1 will start on January 12, which means that Monaco will have an intensive schedule of three games a week.
This is a great test for Yunsheng.
He not only hopes that the team can maintain its form in the league, but also hopes that the team can maintain the possibility of competing for the championship in the cup. In this way, the next three games can be carefully considered and arranged.
The first game of the French Cup on January 6 was not too difficult. The opponent was Vanis, a team from the French second division.
Vanis is currently at the bottom of Ligue 2 and is even in danger of being relegated. This opponent is easier to deal with.
They are not weak against Grenoble in the French League Cup quarter-finals on January 9.
Grenoble is currently ranked 12th in the league, in the middle of Ligue 1. However, in the past 11th round of French Ligue 1, Monaco had defeated this opponent 3-0, and still had some psychological advantages.
However, Grenoble performed quite well this season. Their original goal was to avoid relegation, but unexpectedly they almost reached the goal ahead of schedule. They also performed very well in the cup, so Yun Sheng reminded himself that he must not take it lightly. .
In the 20th round of Ligue 1 on January 12, Monaco’s opponent turned out to be Grenoble. This was such a coincidence.
The two games, first away and then at home, are very important for both teams.
Three games a week is a huge test for the depth of Monaco's bench.
Just two days before the start of the French Cup, new news came from the transfer market again. Regarding several new offers from Monaco, the opposing club gave the latest reply...
