For Zhang Mu, there is no need to run a personal brand or something. He is a content person. His job salary for the coach is enough to squander him. What's more, his family has little assets and does not need to make a lot of money through endorsement.

The only purpose of his hiring agent was to hope that someone would help him deal with some things that annoy him, such as this scandal incident, which Zhang Mu did not have such an incident to deal with. Isn’t it just right to let the agent stand out?

However, the choice of agents also requires caution, which is also a two-way choice.

First of all, Zhang Mu’s requirements are not complicated. He just needs to handle personal matters well, and business operations are not involved at all.

Then it is a bit useless for well-known agents. If you simply take a commission from Zhang Mu's salary, there is not much at all. Typically, more work is less, and the effort is not proportional to the return.

For Zhang Mu, he definitely wanted to hire an experienced agent who could help him properly handle personal affairs. Those newbies who do not have much experience would definitely not consider it.

Therefore, it is difficult for Zhang Mu to find a suitable agent.

In the end, Zhang Mu accepted Hillens' recommendation and hired his agent Carres to become his agent. It is worth mentioning that Carres is Hillens' uncle and can be regarded as his own family.

In fact, Zhang Mu paid a lot, with a 20% commission from his salary, which is a relatively high level in the industry, but given that Zhang Mu does not accept commercial endorsements, it is still reasonable.

Of course, agents must have other income channels. After all, this industry has not been fully regulated. If you join Zhang Mu and coach other teams because of his outstanding performance, then that club will definitely give the agent a large commission.

Carres' first job after taking office was to help Zhang Mu quell the scandal.

As for how Carres handled, Zhang Mu didn't need to know, nor did he want to know.

However, he was so sarcastic that he wondered if Carres might just take down the beauty Asina, himself.

After getting the agent's matter, Zhang Mu focused all his energy on preparing for the game. This peak Ligue 1 match with Lyon is probably the most important game of the season.

In Zhang Mu's previous life, Lyon was a veritable Ligue 1 overlord. The seven-game winning streak is not just a joke. This is the longest consecutive record in the five major leagues.

Of course, this is a previous life. Now that Zhang Mu is here, the result is still unknown.

Look at Lyon's lineup now, all of them are powerful generals, and it's no wonder they can dominate Ligue 1 for many years with this team.

This game is more strategic. If you can overcome the hurdle of Lyon, it will prove that Monaco has truly become a strong team. If you always seek it from the bottom team, it will not be considered a place of elegance.

In addition, defeating Lyon means that he can get a five-point lead at the beginning of the league. Although the season is long and the five-point advantage may disappear in the blink of an eye, the initiative is in his own hands. Zhang Mu is a person with a strong desire for control. He does not want to pin his hope of winning the championship on something illusory.

Due to the tight time, Zhang Mu did not give the players a holiday after a week of double games, but chose to start restorative training the next day, and began tactical preparation training classes in the afternoon.

In a fight with a strong team like Lyon, Zhang Mu must be fully prepared before the game, otherwise he may really not know how to die.

First of all, the team's playing style is not something to worry about. The tactical system that has been formed does not need to be changed, but it is just a matter of personnel allocation.

The second is the restrictions on the opponent, which is also the key to whether Monaco can win this game.

The midfield configuration of Lyon is Juininho and Doraso. He needs to attack and attack, defense and defense. The important thing is to be experienced. You should know that Juininho is the most underrated midfield organization core. Compared with this, although Hillens is extremely talented, he is just a fledgling rookie.

Therefore, the control-type midfield configuration that Zhang Mu had just thought about had its place to use. If a Hillens could not control the midfield, then he would oppress his opponent through weakening and dispersal of the organization's core. Hillens and Benardi were in the midfield. When competing for control of the midfield with the opponent, the big head could also retreat to help the midfield gain a foothold. Zhang Mu didn't believe that the midfield line composed of three organizational midfielders still had an advantage? If this is true, then Juninho would be a god-level player.

Lyon deals with any opponent through a strong midfield. As long as he gains the upper hand in the midfield competition, Lyon's biggest advantage will no longer exist.

As for the sharp edge attack that Zhang Mu has been committed to creating, we must insist on it. To attack the enemy with one's own strengths, it is impossible for Zhang Mu to put down his biggest weapon and use other unfamiliar attack methods.

As for the three center tactics that have just been used, it is purely for venting. If it is used in a battle with a strong enemy, it may be beaten into a sieve later. Of course, if you are still behind in the last moment, then Zhang Mu will not rule out the possibility of taking a single bet.

In fact, the team is now quite skilled in passing and controlling the ball. If it is another team, relying on the spirituality and tacit understanding of several outstanding players, it can spark between the passing of the matter. Then Monaco can almost play fast and smooth cooperation in the whole team. This is the biggest difference between Monaco and other Ligue 1 teams.

If it was the beginning of the season, Zhang Mu would not dare to use the pass-and-control tactics with certainty, but now that he has this foundation through training, there is no need for him to hide his weaknesses. It is time to let Monaco go to a bigger stage.

In fact, Lyon's strong rise is not only the credit of this group of outstanding players, but coach Santini also made great contributions. It can be said that he laid the most solid foundation for Lyon's Ligue 1 domination.

Zhang Mu knew this coach relatively well in his previous life because this coach with rich coaching experience had had a scandal with the Chinese Super League team. It is said that the two sides had entered the substantial negotiation stage at that time, but in the end, Santini's acquisition was not possible.

However, this does not hinder domestic media hype, so Zhang Mu has a relatively good understanding of his resume.

After becoming Monaco's head coach, Zhang Mu learned more about the coach of this Ligue 1 biggest opponent, knowing himself and his enemy, and winning every battle. Even if Zhang Mu is young and energetic, it is easy to underestimate his opponent, but Lyon is not an existence he can despise at will.

Therefore, after the restorative training was conducted on Tuesday, Zhang Mu arranged more targeted training on Wednesday.

The main midfielders were placed in the half court, while the substitutes were all defensive players, and the two sides fought in the midfield.

The main side has no other requirements, just pass the ball continuously under the opponent's crazy pressing and keep turning the ball down. The purpose is to allow the players to adapt to the fast-paced control of the ball under the pressing, without passing it to the forward and shooting.

As for several forwards, they were sent by Zhang Mu for shooting training. They didn't return to the team until the afternoon, and were given a new task, which was to take turns to retreat to the midfield to help their players maintain their midfield advantage.

Zhang Mu hopes to control the midfield in this way. The current practice scene is likely to be the scene that will happen during the game.

The team has also conducted such training before. If there is no speedup, the players can do it easily. Although there is no guarantee that there will be no mistakes, it is not easy for the opponent to grab the ball.

However, Zhang Mu now requires the players to flexibly change the rhythm of passing the ball and change it according to the opponent's pressing. If the opponent's pressing is not crazy, then you can slowly turn your feet back and wait for an opportunity to find opportunities. However, once the opponent implements a high-level pressing, the players will have to speed up the rhythm of passing the ball, otherwise it will be easy to fall into the opponent's clamping.

This training lasted for two days. Although it was boring, it was nothing to improve the players. Seeing that the players had successfully completed the tasks assigned by themselves, Zhang Mu finally ended this training on Friday.

Seeing his achievements since he became the head coach, Zhang Mu is still very proud.

In fact, although Monaco's current style of playing is not a great success in the future, its advanced nature is absolutely unquestionable and it is also the most difficult way to deal with.

Compared with Barcelona in later generations, Monaco's style of play is more like Bayern. After Guardiola checked in, Bayern emphasized passing and control, but the sharpest attack was on the wing.

Although Zhang Mu also likes Barcelona's style of play, it has very obvious limitations. If Messi is eliminated from the lineup, then what Barcelona will have left is probably only skillful pass control in the midfield and backcourt and even the frontcourt. Team football based on player skills and tacit understanding. Although it is good-looking, it is boring and has no outstanding attack points.

If Messi's outstanding forward ability is added, Barcelona's tactical system will be considered a success.

This tactical system can be said to have no obvious weaknesses. Barcelona also relies on this system to win the Champions League twice within three years. Perhaps only when facing the muscle midfielder arranged by Mourinho will encounter some setbacks.

Zhang Mu wanted to play this tactic, because once the players formed a tacit understanding, they could become a strong team and give any wealthy family a headache.

However, there is no Messi-like attack arrow in Monaco, and even the strongest team like Dalexandro does not have such forward ability. So if Zhang Mu had to copy this tactical system, he would definitely become a four-way player. Maybe he would have good results against a weak team, but fighting with a strong team may be like hitting a stone with an egg.
