Chapter 37 The lineup of the first team
After saying hello to the players, Zhang Mu returned to the office and began to think about the team's main lineup. Although he had a preliminary draft for a long time, he still needs to have a coordinated arrangement, which players are the main players, which players are rotation players, and more of them appear in the cup games.
If Bierkhof, who does not count the dual identities of players and coaches, has a total of 24 players in the first team, which is still a good configuration.
The three goalkeepers, the main goalkeeper, will undoubtedly continue to be the main goalkeeper Prato of last season. He is still a trustworthy goalkeeper. He may not have shocking saves, but his stable state is his biggest point. In this regard, the other two goalkeepers cannot match.
The substitute goalkeeper has not changed, and it is still the player Roma. If Prato does not have any injuries, he will sit on the bench more, which is also a kind of sadness for the goalkeeper.
Youth goalkeeper Bian Carelli is the third place player, but he will get more opportunities than Roma, such as the cup, and he can also play with the reserve team, thinking that he is young enough, and Zhang Mu doesn't want him to spend his youth on the bench all the time.
The position of the famous player is his most reassured place. There will not be too much controversy here. As for conceding the ball, it must be avoided, but this may not be the responsibility of the goalkeeper.
There are 8 players on the back line, and there is no position to have a substitute.
Squillac and Jim will be the main central defenders of the new season. Both are relatively skilled central defenders. They have strong air defense capabilities and excellent frontal interception capabilities. They are not slow to turn around. They can fully support the team's last line of defense. However, both of them are a little young and do not know whether they can withstand pressure psychologically. It is inevitable that they will make mistakes, but if they are mistaken and break through the psychological defense line, they are likely to continue to be defeated.
In this position, Zimbonda and Osadogan are also used as substitutes, which can fully fill the gaps when the main players are unable to play.
The two full-backs will definitely have Evra and Macon occupy the main position. Their excellent forward assists will become a favorable weapon for the team. This combination of wings is enough to make any team ashamed.
Givet and Rodriguez will become the substitutes for both of them. Although they were both players under Deschamps last season, since they did not want to leave the team, Zhang Mu did not forcefully sell them. Keeping them behind is considered to increase the team's bench depth.
However, when the team is not saturated in the season, they will not get too many opportunities. Compared with two full-backs who are popular in later generations, Pores and Evra, they do not have much advantage in either aspect.
In the midfield, Zhang Mu planned to arrange two midfielders, one organized the offense and the other focused more on defense, but he must be able to participate in the downswing.
Hillens is the ace under Zhang Mu. He will be promoted to become the core of the team next season. Maybe he has not had much experience, but he believes that as long as he gets enough training in the game, his talent can make him soar into a world-class organizational midfielder.
Last season, Deschamps' starting midfielder Benaldi was a little slower than Hillens and his pace was a bit lacking, so he will be Hillens' substitute.
In terms of defensive midfield, Mohammed Diyala, a player with strong defensive ability, will become his partner of Herons, and Flamini will also compete with him. In fact, the gap between the two is not very big now. Everyone has a chance, it mainly depends on who is in better shape in training.
The front midfielder is the undisputed Dalexandro. This was what Zhang Mu finally convinced the team to join. He will definitely occupy this position, and others may not be able to complete the tasks assigned by Zhang Mu well. Only he is the most suitable candidate.
However, there is no substitute for him in the front midfielder position. If an accident really happens, Zhang Mu can only let Rainier take the lead.
The two wing roads are destined to be the place that Zhang Mu will focus on. The wing road combination of Jiuli and Roten will be perfectly transplanted into the Monaco team, and their cooperation with the full-back will directly determine Monaco's results.
Zikos and Marco Ramos will be substitutes for this position, but they must stay on the bench more often, and they will only get the chance to play when the main players are in poor physical condition, and Zhang Mu does not have too much hope for them.
The forward is very simple. Single forward Adebayo is the main force, double forwards are matched with Novada, while Renier mainly plays in the cup.
Such a main lineup is very competitive in Ligue 1, but these young players have not yet made enough names, otherwise other teams will go crazy for them.
If Zhang Mu cannot break through the siege in Ligue 1 with such a lineup, then he doesn't need to be a head coach anymore. He might as well just hit a piece of tofu and travel back in time.
The pressure in front of Zhang Mu is the result, which is also the pressure of all coaches. If there is no support for the results, then Zhang Mu will have no prestige.
Maybe at the beginning of the season, even if he did not have enough prestige and the players were not convinced of him at all, they would not directly contradict him.
But as the season progresses, if he has not shown a convincing side, then all the contradictions hidden under his eyes will be put to the surface. When everything goes in a mess, he will also end his coaching in Monaco. This is the cruel reality.
