Since Yunsheng took over Monaco in 2008, Monaco has completely become the most Chinese-style European football club.
Under his command, players such as Sun Jihai, Dong Fangzhuo, Chen Tao, Wang Chuhe, etc. played in Monaco and won numerous championships and honors. The miracle of winning the Champions League and the five-time crown is a story of a Chinese general conquering European football.
After that, Chen Tao, Dong Fangzhuo and Wang Chuhe won the title of the best player in Ligue 1 for three consecutive years, and became a piece of Chinese football that will forever be engraved in the history of Ligue 1.
Later Yunsheng left, and his successor Makelele also inherited Yunsheng's good tradition of reusing Chinese players.
Makelele is a low-key, humble and hard-working player and coach, so he has a good impression of Chinese people with the same personality characteristics. Therefore, under his hands, not only players such as Wang Chuhe and Zhang Linpeng gradually became the absolute core of the team, but he also continued to New Chinese players have been introduced. Wu Xi and Sun Ke, a pair of young Chinese players, got a lot of playing opportunities last season. It can be seen that this is the deliberate training of Makelele.
This season, Monaco has lost a lot of talent and needs to recruit players. He first turned to Yunsheng, hoping to introduce Chinese players.
With the joining of Zeng Cheng and Li Xuepeng, Monaco's Chinese camp has expanded again.
Last season, there were five Chinese players in the Monaco team: Wang Chuhe, Sun Jihai, Zhang Linpeng, Wu Xi, and Sun Ke.
This summer Wang Chuhe transferred to Arsenal, Sun Jihai terminated his contract and returned to the Chinese Super League, leaving only three players in the team: Zhang Linpeng, Wu Xi and Sun Ke.
After Zeng Cheng and Li Xuepeng joined this time, the number of Chinese players once again reached five.
But here comes a problem.
According to the French Ligue 1 foreign aid policy, each team can only have four foreign aids, and only three foreign aids can appear at the same time.
Although there were five Chinese foreign players in the Monaco team last season, because Wang Chuhe was a player trained by the Ligue 1 youth training system, after a final ruling, he was specifically approved to cancel the quota occupied by foreign players. Therefore, after all, Monaco last season Only four Chinese players occupy the foreign aid quota.
But among the five Chinese players in the team, none of them can get such good treatment. One of the five players must be unable to qualify for Ligue 1 registration.
As for how to handle it, Yunsheng didn't know, and he didn't ask Makelele. After all, this was Monaco's internal matter. He was no longer the head coach of Monaco, so he couldn't interfere.
However, Yun Sheng has already guessed that based on the importance of the player and the lack of players on the field, that person should be sent to the youth team...
But that's not necessarily a bad thing. After all, European football is very unfavorable about these two transfers. Maybe it would be a good thing to go to the youth team to avoid the limelight.
Among the recent transfers of Chinese players, Wang Chuhe's transfer is naturally the most eye-catching. After all, he joined Arsenal as the heir to Cesc Fabregas. And with the blessing of the best player in Ligue 1 and the core of the five-time champion, his strength and reputation may not be as good as Cesc Fabregas, but his talent and potential are definitely not inferior to the former Arsenal captain.
The transfers of Huang Bowen and Jiang Zhipeng a few days ago did not cause much trouble. Although Simeone praised the two new players at the press conference, everyone understood that these two Chinese players were just Simeone's test products. They will not be given too many opportunities at the beginning of the new season. They can strengthen The depth is already pretty good. It is this lower expectation and starting point that makes Huang Bowen and Jiang Zhipeng much more relaxed and less stressed.
However, the transfer of Zeng Cheng and Li Xuepeng has suffered unprecedented criticism!
Although they are still learning French, their ears are filled with the overwhelming criticism from TV and online media.
As a five-time French Ligue 1 champion, Monaco has been the focus of French football, and their transfers are very eye-catching and have triggered countless topics.
Li Xuepeng came to Monaco as a replacement for Kurzawa. Makelele will definitely entrust him with important tasks in the new season and may even let him play the main starting role. In this way, the gap in skills and experience between the two will be eliminated. , is infinitely magnified.
And Zeng Cheng is the pioneer of Chinese goalkeepers in Europe. No one is optimistic about his future. He is generally considered to have come to Europe to get gold. He may return to the Chinese Super League soon, and Makelele also needs to find him as soon as possible. Hildebrand's replacement. Even if he is not as strong as Germany's No. 1 goalkeeper, at least he is not as good as Zeng Cheng. The gap is not too big.
Faced with the raging criticism and doubts from the outside world, the top management of Yuntian Brokerage Company even called Yunsheng many times, strongly suggesting that Yunsheng come forward and say a few words to relieve some pressure on the two players.
But Yun Sheng was stubborn and said nothing, as if these two young people had nothing to do with him.
But privately, he still called the two of them specifically to tell them.
"Xiao Zeng, Xiao Li, I believe you have already felt the cruelty of European football. You haven't even played a game yet, and you are already being scolded by the media. When the league starts, you will be scolded if you don't appear on the field; your performance on the field will be scolded." If you are not good, you will be scolded; if you perform well but do not continue, you will be scolded."
"When you were playing in China, you would have envied Chen Tao, Wang Chuhe, and Dong Fangzhuo, but you should have experienced the hardships they endured in European football."
"Don't think that I will stand up and speak for you. If that happens, you will be pushed to the forefront, which will be harmful to you. You should be down-to-earth and train down-to-earth now, and run in with your teammates as soon as possible, and strive to win the championship as soon as possible. Contest!"
"You are lucky. After all, you have Zhang Linpeng, Wu Xi and Sun Ke in the team, who can help you on and off the court; and the remaining power of Chen Tao, Wang Chuhe and Dong Fangzhuo are still there, as well as some of my influence. You The identity of Chinese people is still very respected; and Monaco is in a period of upgrading, so your competitive pressure is not too great and you have great opportunities!"
"Although I will not make public remarks, I will pay attention to your performance in Italy. I hope you can integrate into the team as soon as possible, become the main player of the team, and help the team win and win the championship!"
Yun Sheng's words were a great encouragement to Zeng Cheng and Li Xuepeng. They nodded firmly and made a commitment on the phone.
We must live up to coach Yun Sheng's hard work, train well in Monaco, strive to play games as soon as possible, and become the pride of Chinese football!
