Chapter 30 The new coach takes office
But looking at Zhang Mu's serious expression, he had no joke at all, and he couldn't help but feel moved. Could it be that what he said was true? The club really let him join the first team?
Yes, Zhang Mu had a chance last season, but he lost to Deschamps, who was very famous in the players' era. Now Deschamps is destined to fail in Monaco, and the club will definitely consider a new coaching candidate. Isn't Zhang Mu just a choice? Although he is young, he has already proved his ability in the reserve team, so what he said is completely possible.
Pettit stretched out his finger and pointed at Zhang Mu, meaning to ask if Zhang Mu was right.
Zhang Mu did not speak, but nodded. The silent communication between the two was quite tacit.
"Oh, I knew you were not a Chi Zhongwu, but I didn't expect that you would become the team's first-team coach now. It feels really unacceptable." Pettit sighed. He was indeed a little shocked. Although Zhang Mu did have this qualification, he still shook his head when he thought of his age.
"I won't talk about this now. Listen, I need your help. I hope you can go to the first team as an assistant coach and continue to help me. I think you are the most suitable candidate." Zhang Mu finally explained his purpose, and then waited for Petit's answer.
Pettit was a little hesitant at this time, and it was really difficult to answer for a while.
If he followed his original idea, he hoped to retire directly in the reserve team and enjoy family happiness with his family.
However, he is not old in the coaching industry. It is a time when it is easy to achieve results. Whether it is theoretical knowledge or practical coaching ability, he is at the peak of his coaching career. It would be a pity to retreat to the world.
Moreover, for the past half season of the reserve team, he has been infected by Zhang Mu every day. This is an indescribable and subtle influence, as if he was back when he was young, when he was full of confidence.
Every day, watching the members of the reserve team make progress little by little, and the team wins one after another, he never felt that his work was so fulfilling. He completely fell in love with this kind of life. If the love for football that supported him before was the love for football, now it has become love for this job, which is a completely different concept.
He is indeed very much because he also hopes to be in the first team with Zhang Mu. Even if he is an assistant coach who can only stay behind the scenes, he also hopes to make some achievements at the end of his coaching career and assist Zhang Mu in making achievements.
But now he has to consider his family's ideas. Since he was engaged in the coaching profession, he feels that he owes a lot of money to his family, especially his gentle wife who silently supports him. He must know her ideas. If she objected, he can only apologize to Zhang Mu.
Zhang Mu also understood that Pettit would not agree so happily, and that he could not simply consider himself in some things, as if he was like this in his previous life, and he always ignored his girlfriend's thoughts, otherwise the two of them would not have come to the end.
"I really want to continue to help you, but you see, what's the use of me using old bones? Since you think of it, as long as my family has no problems, we will continue to work together."
Next, the two of them had a tacit understanding and did not continue on this issue, but began to pay attention to the training of the reserve team.
Although it has become a certain fact that Zhang Mu joins the first team, he is still the coach of the reserve team so far. He wants to stand in his last squad. This is where he started and he wants to leave a perfect memory.
During the next period, Zhang Mu was often busy with the training of the reserve team during the day, and when he had free time, he went to the first team's venue to observe his future players; at night, he watched the video of the first team's game this season, which is the most intuitive way to observe players.
After watching a few games, Zhang Mu generally knew which players were going to stay and help him compete for the next season, and those players were going to leave.
First of all, the team's captain Roten must stay. Not to mention his captain's identity, the strength of the main player of the French national team is enough to make Zhang Mu rely on it.
Moreover, as the captain of the team, Zhang Mu also needs him to use his appeal and prestige to manage the team in the locker room.
However, Roten did not stay in Monaco for long in history, and finally chose to leave.
But this is not about Zhang Mu's affairs. Zhang Mu still hopes that he will stay. He can provide great help to the team on the wing.
If he really wants to leave, then Zhang Mu may not be able to find a suitable wing player to replace him immediately.
There is another French international in the team, that is, Jiuli, who will join the giant Barcelona in the future.
Although this player is very small, his speed is not ordinary fast. His breakthrough on the wing is very sharp. Zhang Mu will not let such an outstanding player go. It would be very strange if a player who can play in Barcelona has no ball to play in Monaco.
Main goalkeeper Prato and substitute goalkeeper Roma are both trustworthy goalkeepers. Perhaps their strength is not as good as the world's top, but it is enough to deal with Ligue 1. The most important thing is that they are very stable and have almost no mistakes in several games.
Even if their performance is unstable in the future, Zhang Mu can still promote the goalkeeper of the reserve team. There is no need to buy people at this position.
There is a celebrity on the forward line, the German bomber Bielhof, but now it seems that Lian Po is old and has not gotten many opportunities last season. Zhang Mu does not intend to let him continue to be a player, but being able to join the coaching staff is a good choice.
In addition, the number one scorer in the interior can be kept. Of course, it depends on the players' wishes. He is famous in the Ligue 1 scorer list but he is not short of buyers.
The other players in the room almost did not satisfy Zhang Mu, and they were destined to be cleansed.
Although at the most turbulent moment at the end of the season, Zhang Mu still maintained the situation well, leading the team to achieve two wins and one draw, and ended perfectly, winning the Reserve League championship, creating a miracle that was not big or small.
After all, such a young coach is unique, even at the reserve level, it is rare to see him. When he is as old as him, it seems that everyone is playing football.
At the end of the last game, Zhang Mu and Petit couldn't help but hug each other, with tears flashing in the corners of Petit's eyes, which was particularly sensational.
"Thank you, Zhang, you have made me feel unprecedented happiness this season. I know I can't live without football. Even when I reach 80, I hope I am still on this green field."
The old man said emotionally, it was obvious that this season had a great touch on him, which evoked his once unattainable ideal. Time was a knife, cutting off the full ideal little by little, but Zhang Mu called back all this little by little.
When Zhang Mu heard him say this, he knew that the assistant coach was done, which made him very happy.
Pettit has a lot of experience. Although he does not have the experience of coaching the first team, he is definitely more than enough as an assistant coach. He can arrange the training properly, which can completely save Zhang Mu enough time and energy to think about tactics. Such a talent is rare.
In this way, Zhang Mu can immediately find the players he likes without any worries. You must know.
However, before he set out, the club announced that he had become the first team coach on the club's official website, which caused an uproar.
Because the introduction to the club is very simple.
Zhang Mu, male, French-born Chinese, born in 1980, is the former head coach of the reserve team.
That's all.
No other words matter. The key is that they were born in 1980, and they are only 22 years old this year, which is simply a very nonsense age.
After this incident was reported, all France thought that the Monaco club was crazy. Could it be that Zhang Mu was a descendant of the ancient magician and saw all the senior Monaco executives hypnotized? Otherwise, how could they make such an absurd decision?
However, after some media reported Zhang Mu's life, everyone suddenly realized that this was the case.
"The new head coach of Monaco, Zhang Mu, once developed a supernova in the Monaco youth team, and was also the absolute core of the French youth team. He is regarded as the greatest hope for the French team to rise again."
"But unfortunately, in a car accident, he lost the hope of becoming a superstar in his prime and bid farewell to his career as a professional player."
"But he quickly cheered up and became a youth training coach in Monaco. He used several years of theoretical knowledge and practical coaching experience to obtain the A-level football coach license issued by FIFA and became a promising coach."
"Zhang Mu was promoted to the reserve team and then to the first team as an assistant coach. However, when competing for the first team coach, he lost to the former French national team captain Deschamps. In the end, he was beaten back to the reserve team due to conflicts."
"But gold shines everywhere. Zhang Mu, who returned to the reserve team, regarded this as his first step in starting. He built the Monaco reserve team a team of God of War that could be defeated in half a year. They stood out at the level of the reserve team, and they finally won the reserve team championship through Jinzhan, which can be said to have created brilliant results."
"And Deschamps' performance in the first team was not ideal. He had terminated the contract with the club in advance and the two sides broke up peacefully. In this way, it seemed natural for Zhang Mu to join the first team of Monaco. After all, he was already very familiar with Monaco."
"Zhang Mu is a young coach, and the characteristic of young people is that they are vigorous and fearless. We look forward to the Monaco led by him launching a fanatical storm in the new season and bringing an unparalleled impact."
After seeing the report, everyone realized that Zhang Mu was not an unknown person, but he still had great doubts. After all, the first team is not a reserve team. Even if he did a good job in the reserve team, what if he did it well?
Football is not a housewife. Even if he does a good job in the reserve team, the players there are all players who have no idea where the future is, and whatever the coach says is what the coach says.
