In the corner of the home team's locker room, the young Kurzawa lowered his head and arranged his sneakers without saying a word.
The young French defender, who is only 17 years old this year, is very frustrated at this time.
Recalling that at the beginning of the league, he was promoted from the youth team by Yun Sheng and soon became the starter. How excited he was at that time.
In the following season, he grew rapidly. Not only did he get better and better on the defensive end, but he also repeatedly provided assists to help the team create scoring opportunities. In one year, he represented the team in many important games, such as two cup finals. He performed very well and helped the team win two cup championships.
He was so high-spirited at that time.
But in just half the game, he felt the fall from heaven to hell.
His two mistakes were an important reason for conceding two goals. If the team loses this game and fails to win the Ligue 1 championship, then he will be the culprit! He is the sinner of Monaco!
Thinking of this, Kurzawa became even more depressed. Tears even rolled in his eyes, as if they would flow out at any time.
The other players didn't speak and were in a bad mood.
Captain Uyfalusi, who has always been steady, and assistant coach and player Makelele also frowned and remained silent.
The last person to walk into the locker room was Yun Sheng. He had just given some instructions to several substitute players, especially the tactical arrangements to Dong Fangzhuo and Jia Kepei, and he came back a little late.
Entering the locker room, Yun Sheng had already guessed the situation in the locker room. He slowly closed the door and sat in front of the players. He seemed to be chatting with the players or talking to himself before speaking.
"When I just walked back from the player tunnel, I suddenly felt a little emotional. This player tunnel has been here for many years, and some of you have even been here for more than ten years. Club veterans like Pro have even been here for more than twenty years. years."
"As for me, I have only been away for less than a year, and many of you came to Monaco after me, for a very short time. Not long after we arrived in Monaco, what did everyone say about us at that time? What about? I don’t know if you still remember it, but I still remember it vividly—well, maybe it’s because I am a grudge-y person.”
There was a burst of slight laughter from the players, and the atmosphere in the locker room began to relax somewhat.
Yun Sheng still looked at the direction of the court and said slowly: "At that time, many people were not optimistic about me, saying that I was too young. My experience of winning the Bundesliga was just a flash in the pan, and I would definitely not be able to play in Ligue 1. There are also some media who look down on you. , saying that you are either old veterans, or you are fake new stars who exaggerate. Well, anyway, they just don’t believe that we can do it, and they don’t believe that we can lead Monaco to revival.”
"But what's the result? We're now a double domestic cup winner, and we're also at the top of the Ligue 1 standings and about to become Ligue 1 champions!"
"Guys, at the beginning of the season, some people might hope to score 20 goals, some might hope to be ranked in the league and enter the European competition, and some might hope to win a cup championship. But look at it now, have you ever imagined today's results?"
"From the perspective of collective honors, we have won the domestic cup double and are heading for the league championship; from the perspective of individual honors, Shevchenko ranks first in the scorer list, and Chen Tao becomes the top scorer in Ligue 1 with 12 goals and 15 assists. He is a popular candidate for the best player, and the rest of you also have a great chance to be included in the best team of Ligue 1 this season!"
"And Kurzawa, he is the youngest player in the team, he is only 17 years old this year! Which 17-year-old player in Ligue 1 can perform as well as him?"
"Guys, we were 0-2 behind in the first half and the situation was not good, but this is because we were unlucky. Two players were injured and gave the opponent a chance. Otherwise, our defense would be like an iron wall!"
"Guys, do you still remember the 19th round of the league? Our opponent in that game was also Bordeaux. We went head-to-head with them in order to compete for a spot in the European Cup. That game was the same as today. In the first half, we fell behind 0-2. . But in the 45 minutes of the second half, we scored 4 goals in a row, successfully overtaken the score, and won Bordeaux! After that game, we started a winning streak, and we were in great shape in the second half, and we have been till now!"
"Guys, I don’t have many instructions for the second half of the game. I hope you will attack with all your strength from the first minute and try to equalize the score as soon as possible! And I hope you remember that even if you equalize the score, don’t retreat easily and strive for Win and even score more goals!"
"Ujfalusi, Makelele, Hildebrand, I have only one request for your central defensive system. No matter what happens in the second half, you must not concede any more goals!"
"Shevchenko, Chen Tao, there are still 45 minutes left in the second half, and the offensive responsibility is on you!"
"Come on guys, I'm waiting for you on the sidelines. Everything is ready at the Louis II Stadium tonight, waiting to celebrate victory and championship!"
The 15 minutes were over, and the Monaco players rushed towards the court with their hands ready and their eyes firm.
Yun Sheng stopped Shevchenko next to him: "Andrei, Recoba can't play in the second half. Dong Fangzhuo is still young. My hopes are all on you. I don't know if I will be there next season." Can I keep you in Monaco? If not, it will be a pity for Monaco. I hope you can use a Ligue 1 golden boot this season to prove that you are still one of the best shooters in the world. You are one of the best shooters in Ligue 1. king!"
Shevchenko nodded, without saying anything, turned around and ran towards the court with solid and powerful steps.
During the defensive period, Yun Sheng didn't say much.
Although the team conceded two goals in the first half, Yunsheng was still on track defensively.
The goalkeeper Hildebrand whom he brought from Germany, the team captain Ujfalusi, the world's top midfielder Makelele, and the old and hard-working Sun Jihai, there is no doubt about their strength and status.
As for young Kurzava, Yun Sheng did not talk to him alone.
Yunsheng just praised Kurzava in front of everyone. He has already expressed his attitude. He believes that Kurzava will regain his mentality in the second half and continue to play his best.
Dong Fangzhuo and Jia Kepei have also come on as substitutes, staring eagerly on the court, waiting for the whistle to sound.
After 45 minutes, whether Monaco will reach the highest point of French Ligue 1, or whether they will regretfully watch their opponents celebrate with the cup at the Louis II Stadium, all the suspense is about to be revealed!
