The Chelsea owner sat in the private room at Stamford Bridge. This was the team's first game after he took over Chelsea. Of course, he had to be there in person.

Abram had the essential intention of taking refuge in Chelsea, but he would not have done so without his favorite football, so he often watched the team's games later.

Zhang Mu didn't know whether this world rich man had little to do with him in the stands, but he didn't know that it was this game that left a very deep impression on Abu.

In this game, Zhang Mu's requirements for the players are very simple, that is, to give full play to his overall advantages, slowly suppress his opponents, and prevent his opponent from using his personal technology to raid.

In fact, such an arrangement is not a perfect response, and the opponent is not worth Zhang Mu's effort to think about the solution. After all, the victory or defeat of the game itself has nothing to do with it, and the overall strength of the opponent is still difficult to pose too much threat to Monaco.

As soon as the game started, Monaco had the advantage. Although Chelsea had the power to play at home and the atmosphere of the court was very terrifying, Monaco's control ability was stronger. Moreover, Chelsea currently has a luxurious lineup, but in fact it was a mess.

In the 20th minute of the first half, Monaco, which had already suppressed Chelsea, was scored by the team's top scorer, and then received a straight pass from his teammate in the penalty area and shot to the team's first record, 0:1.

Zhang Mu had nothing to be happy about the goal, it was just a warm-up match. He was happy about RONDA's condition. The best news for Monaco's number one scorer to be able to maintain his condition.

After conceding the ball, Chelsea launched a counterattack attack, but the players lacked tacit understanding in cooperation with each other. Although there was an occasional flash of inspiration, it was useless for the overall situation and was soon suppressed by Monaco.

Seeing Monaco's attacks higher than the waves, Ranieri had no way to respond effectively. Chelsea is not the Chelsea he thinks is, at best, just a mercenary, and there is no such thing as strength. If he is given enough time, he will be confident to lead Chelsea to the top, but now, that's all.

Abu's face looked very ugly in the box. Although he didn't spend too much money to buy Chelsea and had political purposes, he really wanted to run Chelsea well. Not only did he spend a lot of money to buy world superstars, but he also found a famous coach like Ranieri.

I thought I would win smoothly against a Ligue 1 team like Monaco, but the reality made it very difficult for him to accept.

It was not that Chelsea easily defeated his opponent, but that he was suppressed by his opponent and had no temper. Not only did he fall behind in the score, but he also had no advantage in the scene. He seemed to be not a team of the same level.

Is the team he spent money and thought to build only has such combat power?

At this moment, he had deep doubts about Ranieri.

After all, according to the lineup, Chelsea should be stronger than Monaco.

But now the game is playing like this.

It's obviously the problem with the team coach.

Look at Monaco opposite. Although there are many young stars in the lineup, overall, their value will definitely not keep up with Chelsea.

However, Monaco was able to exert such strong combat effectiveness, giving Chelsea no chance at all, which is already very telling.

Abu has developed a strong interest in the young coach of Monaco.

Of course, although Abu is a real fan, he doesn't understand football very much.

Football is never simply a pile of stars. Even if the team is composed of superstars, it may not have the strength to win the championship.

Zhang Mu didn't know that another man had become interested in him, and his attention was all in this game.

Seeing that Chelsea had almost no resistance, Zhang Mu couldn't help but regret that this game did not have much training value.

If it was two or three months later, when Ranieri almost instilled his tactical intentions into his superstars, perhaps Chelsea would have a transformation in strength, but it is definitely not now.

It is difficult for Chelsea to pose any threat to Monaco now.

So Zhang Mu felt that this game was just a waste of everyone's time.

After leading, Monaco, Roten and Big Head, scored one goal in the first half, and led 3:0 to the halftime break.

The first half can be said to be completely under Monaco's control, and the goal was natural, which makes people unable to say anything wrong.

Chelsea’s superstars seemed to be stunned. Monaco’s continuous and strong offensive made them exhausted from defense and inaction throughout the first half. This sense of powerlessness made them feel helpless.

Abu was also furious in the box, so he didn't understand why his team was so vulnerable.

As soon as the midfield whistle sounded, Abu slammed out angrily and left the field early. He didn't want to see his team continue to be ravaged in the second half.

Chelsea's side is in a state of tranquility, but Monaco on the opposite side is relaxed.

I had a wonderful holiday, but after the assembly, it was immediately terrifying physical training. Compared to those training days that were unbearable to look back on, the training now is undoubtedly a paradise life.

At the beginning, the players maintained a little awe and mystery for the Premier League team, but as the game progressed, these feelings disappeared without a trace.

In their eyes, Chelsea's threat is not as great as most teams in Ligue 1 last season, and they can be said to be able to take the initiative easily and comfortably on the court.

Zhang Mu did not organize the players to play in the locker room. This game is just to relax after the hard training.

However, in the second half, Zhang Mu still had to adjust his personnel. It would not make much sense to continue to let these players play on the court. It would be better to take this opportunity to inspect the new players.

Anyway, there is no limit on substitutions in the warm-up match, so Zhang Mu simply won all the starters and all the other substitutes appeared. Only the new main goalkeeper Roma has been sitting on the bench due to a cold and has no chance to play.

The second half of the game became more intense.

After personnel adjustment, Monaco's offense and defense were not as smooth as the first half, which also gave Chelsea a chance to counterattack.

In the 57th minute of the second half, Crespo used a corner kick to score a goal for Chelsea.

This is also a reflection of the Argentine striker's personal ability. He jumped high in the dense crowd and pushed the ball into Monaco's goal above Squillac's head.

After winning a goal, Chelsea's offensive was even better, and the stars' personal performance space was also increased.

Seeing that Chelsea's fierce offensive, Zhang Mu asked the players to recover appropriately, which could be regarded as a test of the players' defensive ability.

After that, the two teams fell into a tug-of-war, with the offensive back and forth, but until the end of the game, neither side was able to score again.

Monaco, who came to England to practice, defeated Chelsea without any twists and turns in the first warm-up match, and the Blues, who are calling the wind and rain in the transfer market this summer.

After the game, Zhang Mu had a good exchange with Ranieli.

This famous coach, known as a pot-making maker, does have a few tricks.

In this season in his previous life, Chelsea not only won the runner-up in the league, but also entered the semi-finals in the Champions League. It is very difficult for a team that has just been built, which shows Ranieri's coaching ability.

After defeating Chelsea, Monaco continued to train in England, but the next opponents were more targeted.

The opponent in the next warm-up match is also a Premier League team, but it is not that famous.

West Ham United, nicknamed the Hammers, is Monaco's next warm-up opponent.

This is a typical English team.

Although the Premier League is also promoting the general direction of technicalization, there is still an English style of playing that insists on the original long-term pass and rushing, and the Hammer Gang is a typical example.

Monaco's defense is not afraid of frontal attacks, but this kind of high-rise football makes Monaco a little uncomfortable, so Zhang Mu arranged such a warm-up match, with the purpose of making the team adapt to this tough-flow style of play.

In this game, Monaco finally defeated his opponent.

Although he has a complete advantage in the scene, his opponent's occasional attacks also make Monaco's defense very uncomfortable.

The score is 4:2.

There is nothing to say about attack power, and this is also a true reflection of Monaco's ability.

However, Zhang Mu was very angry when he was scored by his opponent.

One was scored by the opponent using a corner kick, and the other was scored by the ball from the side and scored a point in the middle.

In other words, all the opponent's goals were headers, and Monaco had fatal loopholes in header defense.

In Ligue 1, there are few powerful centers who attack the defense head-on, so although Monaco has a certain foundation in header defense, he is not good at it. When he arrived in England, he was immediately beaten.

In fact, whether Jim or Squillac or the newly joined Ibara has certain advantages in height, it is just that when organizing defense, since he has not been specially trained, he cannot play his advantages, and instead allows his opponents to use them frequently.

This is also the key task that Zhang Mu will do in the near future. There are few strong centers in the Ligue 1, but it does not mean that there are also fewer European teams.

In the Champions League, Monaco will meet the giant teams of various national leagues.

In the concept of modern football, a strong center is a must-have, Ligue 1 is already out of date, while other European giants will not be so out of date.

Of course, there are also super centers in Ligue 1. Drogba, who just transferred from Ganga to Marseille, is the future world's number one center, like a Warcraft.

Of course, Drogba has not reached that level of terror, and there are also powerful centers like Slimani in the team, so Zhang Mu did not buy Drogba, otherwise Zhang Mu would have taken action long ago.
