"It seems that everyone is very unwilling to accept it!" Zhang Mu clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention.

In fact, it is normal for young players to have ups and downs. It is impossible to ask them to keep themselves in the best state. Even veterans who have been through the battlefield may not be able to do it.

The important thing is that they are not willing to draw and they are eager to win. This is the biggest advantage of young players. If they are veterans who have won a lot of honors, they may have a mediocre attitude.

"In fact, everyone performed poorly in the first half. Although they did not have an advantage, I see your fighting spirit. If there is no match in two weeks, their condition may decline. I understand it very well." Zhang Mu said humanely.

"I just like your fighting spirit, which is why I like young players. You yearn for victory and do not accept failure. Only in this way can everyone maintain their fighting spirit."

After a pause, Zhang Mu continued, "But after the adjustment and adaptation in the first half, I believe everyone has already recovered their form. Then, the second half is the time for everyone to perform. You must know that we are a team that wants to win the championship, how could we let a team like Nantes stop it!"

Zhang Mu spared no effort to mobilize the players' emotions, just like a nanny, but he was really helpless. Young players always have problems of one kind or another. Speaking of which, there are really not many veterans in the team. Even Roten is only 26 years old, and he is in his year of playing.

When the players walked out of the locker room with high fighting spirit, Zhang Mu did not leave.

"I said, Oliver, can't you play the role of a veteran? You know, although you are a part-time coach now, you are still a player. You can't bring your valuable experience into the coffin, so why not teach it to the players!" Zhang Mu complained to Bielhof, who was still sorting out the tactical board.

After participating in the World Cup this summer, Bierkhov felt that his career should come to an end. He originally planned to retire directly, but he couldn't resist Zhang Mu's enthusiasm and still retained his identity as a player, but he still helped Zhang Mu train the team more work.

Because of his great reputation as a player, Bielhof was very prestigious in the locker room. If Zhang Mu had not had the outstanding performance recently, he would probably not be as good as him.

The most fundamental reason why Zhang Mu asked him to assist him was that he was attracted by his rich experience.

You should know that Zhang Mu only has a theoretical level in coaching, and he is working hard on the theoretical connection time. Although he has done a good job and is barely qualified, his disadvantages in other aspects cannot be avoided, such as psychological training of the players and adjustments to the team's status.

And this is exactly where Bierhoff can play a role.

He can pass on his rich experience to the players, telling them how to avoid ups and downs as much as possible, how to regulate their psychology, how to maintain ideal psychological qualities during the game, and even shout slogans in the locker room to stimulate potential and fighting spirit. This is what Zhang Mu hopes he can do.

However, it seems that Zhang Mu has miscalculated a little now. Although Bielhoff is very domineering on the court, he is very gentlemanly off the court and spares no effort in the team's training, but it is far from Zhang Mu's special requirements.

"Sir, some things can only be understood but not expressed in Chinese. They are very young and talented. If they are always smooth sailing, it may not be a good thing. If they encounter difficulties, they may not be able to fall and cannot cheer up. Using the game to make them understand is the right way."

Who knew that when Bierkov responded seriously in the face of Zhang Mu's complaints, it seemed that what Zhang Mu asked for was really profound.

"Okay, it depends on your wishes!" Zhang Mu smiled helplessly, and did not force it. Although Bierkhov did not complete it according to the script he wrote, as an assistant coach, he was undoubtedly very competent, and Zhang Mu didn't have much to say.

He shook his head and laughed at himself, and he was the hard work.

If you want to become a top-level coach, a competent team is also indispensable. Zhang Mu gradually realized that he should work hard to discover talents and tailor-made for himself to build a tacit team.

When several members of the coaching staff walked out of the locker room, the second half had already begun.

Zhang Mu did not make any adjustments to the lineup. Although there was still a substitution place, considering that the players had basically returned to a relatively good state at the last moment of the first half and suppressed their opponents, so there was no adjustment and allowed them to continue to perform well.

In fact, the opponent does not have the capital to compete with Monaco. Although the opponent's coach looks very wise and has rich experience, due to the limited style of the Ligue 1 and his age, his training of the team can only be said to be average. As for tactics, he cannot keep up with the development of football, and the restrictions on Monaco are very limited.

Moreover, Monaco was originally a double striker today, and there were too many contact points in front of the goal, so the threat would naturally be even greater.

Within five minutes of the second half, Monaco had threatened his opponent's goal twice, and Adebayo's header hit the crossbar and bounced out of the bottom line.

Seeing that Monaco's attack could not be restricted, Nantes' coach could not sit still, so he got up and came to the sidelines to shout loudly to let the players make adjustments. So, Nantes was at the front of the black high center back to return to the penalty area to help defend the high ball, which means that Nantes had given up on the offense and defended wholeheartedly. As long as they could take away a draw, they would be satisfied.

The situation on the court is relatively common. Nantes retreats more and more, Monaco's attack is getting higher and he has formed a siege. Even the drag-back Squillac has passed the half.

Zhang Mu frowned when he saw this situation. This is a taboo for military strategists.

Although Monaco has the ability to attack, it is not enough to easily break through dense defense. If the opponent is overwhelmed by this level, the depth of the attack will be gone. Just imagine that there are all defensive players in the penalty area, and I am afraid that any shot will be blocked.

It seems that young players lack game experience, and now two good organizational midfielders are sitting off the court. Diyala and Flamini are good at defending, and it is also OK to participate in the midfield, but it is a bit difficult to rely on them to control the rhythm. This is not their strength.

Looking at Datou and Hillens sitting on the bench, Zhang Mu shook his head. They were in poor condition today and they would definitely not be able to count on it. Moreover, the players who were replaced had no chance to play again. They could only let the former midfielder Benaldi, who could hardly play the game, appear and try it.

In fact, Benardi is indeed a relatively good midfield organizational player. Although he has various shortcomings, it is not unreasonable to be entrusted by Deschamps last season. In a few minutes after his appearance, he firmly grasped the situation on the court, began to slow down the pace of the offense, and slowly let the players understand the coach's intentions through cross-border passes.

The stormy attack turned into a gentle drizzle, and the opponent's continuous impact became a slow picture. Nantes players finally got a little chance to breathe.

However, what was waiting for them was obviously a more deadly action. It was not so easy to wind the string after the tense nerves suddenly relaxed.

When the game reached the 70th minute, Benardi suddenly passed through a slow pass and reached behind the opponent's fullback. Renier rushed at high speed and leaned against the opponent's defender and sent the ball into the penalty area. The following Ronda sent the ball into Nantes' goal in one go.

After Nongda scored the goal, he opened his arms to greet Renier who assisted him. The two hugged and celebrated this wonderful goal. They couldn't score for a long time and were naturally very excited.

Zhang Mu was also very happy. Such a random offensive rhythm conversion was what he was looking forward to. Hillens could only be said to have just started the rhythm control. Now that he has a natural substitute, it is of great help to the team.

He is already thinking about whether he can let Benardi and Hillens play together, and the big head in front, three organized midfielders will definitely be able to firmly control the midfield.

The game that led the way was easier to play. Although the opponent once launched a fierce offensive counterattack after conceding the ball, under the suppression of the Monaco midfielder at the cost of fouls, he gradually shrank back and waited for the next opportunity to counterattack.

The rest of the time almost turned into a half-court offensive and defensive drill. After the midfield had the advantage, the two sides started to range again. Rainier had just contributed an assist, and Roten was naturally not to be outdone. He cooperated with Macon and then cut inside and entered the penalty area. He raised his foot and shot before the opponent's player blocked it, and the momentum was strong.

Nantes' goalkeeper was quite prepared, but he didn't dare to hug him directly. He could only use his palm to rush the ball back into the penalty area.

The alert Ronda wanted to avoid shooting, but someone had a better position than him, that is Monaco's genuine center Adebayo.

As the team's starting center, Adebayo has never been able to justify himself. Many media doubt whether he and coach Zhang Mu have any secrets, otherwise how could he keep his starting position? Not to mention the team's top scorer, Nongda, even Slimani is more threatening than him.

Faced with doubts, Adebayo changed his lazy style and was 100% devoted to training and competitions, just to change others' views on him and to prove his own value.

Facing the incoming ball, there seemed to be only one football in front of Adebayo, and everything else had disappeared from his mind, kicking, pushing and shooting, and then his eyes moved with the ball.

Time seems to be still, and only the ball is still moving in a non-conforming to any regularity.
