"What's the difference between him and a lackey?"

Zhang Mu's words caused a stir again. This naked insult made Deschamps extremely angry. In a rage, he even wanted to bribe professional killers to kill Zhang Mu, a guy who made him uneasy.

But this is just a thought. He dared not really take action. He was not so crazy.

He vowed to teach Zhang Mu a good lesson in the direct confrontation between the two teams, so that Zhang Mu could know what the real coach is.

###

After two consecutive draws at the beginning, Monaco ranked lower in the Ligue 1 standings, just slightly better than a few teams.

However, anyone can see that this is just a temporary ranking. With Monaco's strength, as long as you no longer encounter such a funny "brother's Sect", you will be able to climb up soon.

The next opponent is Bastia, who is a character who plays soybeans and studies with the prince. For them, they don’t have much pursuit at all, and relegation is the highest goal.

However, for Monaco, there are also disadvantages. First of all, the team coach Zhang Mu cannot directly command the game. He had to sit in the stands and watch the game when he got a red card in the last game.

In addition, the team suffered a continuous draw in the Black Sweeper, and their morale was a little low. Although Zhang Mu tried his best to adjust, judging from his training state before the game, the players have not yet recovered to their best, both mentally and physically.

Zhang Mu didn't have a good solution either. The best solution was to win a victory to inspire morale. Under the stimulation of honor, morale was the easiest to rise.

Fortunately, the opponent is not a strong team, and even if Zhang Mu cannot command the game, there will be no big trouble. With Monaco's strength, it should be able to win easily.

Zhang Mu made sufficient preparations for this game before the game and could no longer command on the spot. If he was not prepared, what's the difference between giving up the game?

In the pre-match training, Adebayo, the starting center who was highly anticipated by Zhang Mu, finally recovered, as if he had suddenly become enlightened. He scored consecutive goals in the training game, making Squillac who was fighting against him miserable, so Zhang Mu naturally put him in the starting lineup, and he was at the forefront.

However, since Mohamed Diyala and Renier both received red cards in the last game and missed the game, Zhang Mu had no way to send out the strongest lineup in terms of placing troops, so he simply took a certain degree of rotation.

First of all, the formation changed. Due to the limited strength of the opponent, Zhang Mu sent out a 442 lineup. There was no longer a lonely center forward. Slimani and Adebayo formed a double center, using such an extremely impactful posture to crush the opponent.

The two sidewalk personnel were a little stretched, but Zhang Mu still rotated firmly.

Because Luo Teng consumed too much physical strength in the last game, Zhang Mu let him sit on the bench in this game. Evra's position was the starting left forward, while Noonda was placed on the right. Anyway, his speed was fast enough to be competent for this role. Moreover, due to his shooting skills and desires, his incisive strength may be even greater than Luo Teng.

The midfield configuration is completely different. Hillens takes a rotation and rests. Benardi's main player this season got a starting opportunity, and he is surrounded by Flamini's protection, which is also quite powerful.

Zimbonda was the full-back position left by Evra, and the central defender was replaced by Givette and Rodriguez who had almost no chance of playing before. Zhang Mu also needed them to feel the atmosphere of the game to maintain his condition. In addition, Maicon, the right-back position, started because Zhang Mu really did not rotate players to replace his position. Fortunately, there was no problem with his physical condition.

Although Prato is in a stable state, Zhang Mu also wants to give substitute goalkeeper Roma some opportunities. After all, a stable substitute goalkeeper is not less important than the main goalkeeper.

If we only look at strength, this lineup may not be domineering in Ligue 1, but it is not weaker than most teams. Facing a bottom who is relegated first, no major accident will definitely be the result of crushing. Even if Zhang Mu is not on the sidelines, there will be no problem.

As it turns out, this lineup is still very competitive.

After the game started, Monaco did not immediately enter the game state. The opponent launched several threatening attacks with his home advantage. However, after Monaco gradually gained a foothold, the situation on the field began to reverse.

Zhang Mu's instructions to the offense are to play an extra 45-degree diagonal cross, which facilitates two violent high centers to rush and rush. If they cooperate and break through at the side, it is easy to cause the opponent's foul. Setting balls are also a magic weapon to defeat the enemy, especially when the opponent is likely to defend intensively.

According to Zhang Mu's instructions, the players began to make frequent diagonal crosses on the wing, and the two centers took turns to grab the points, almost every time they could beat the opponent's defender and threaten the opponent's goal.

In the 20 minutes of the first half, Monaco's simple and rough style of play was effective. Slimani received Adebayo's header and shot in front of the goal, scoring his Ligue 1 debut goal.

Slimani roared and came to the stands where the fans who accompanied the team to cheer for the team away, where Zhang Mu, who was banned from commanding the game, sat there.

Although the number of fans of the visiting team was not small, the cheers were not small at all. They shouted the name of the goal-scoring hero Slimani and applauded enthusiastically to express their excitement.

To their surprise, Slimani did not have any other moves to celebrate the goal. He just covered his chest with his right hand and bowed deeply to the stands, and then celebrated the goal with his teammates.

Fans don’t understand, because thanking fans usually happens after the game, and few people thank fans after seeing goals.

But Zhang Mu understood what Slimani meant. He bowed not to thank the fans, but to thank him for his coach who spared no effort to cultivate himself. Without Zhang Mu's help, he might have become a truck driver now, rather than accepting the cheers of fans on the court with great glory.

Zhang Mu smiled faintly, and the unprecedented sense of accomplishment and satisfaction in his heart surged up.

As a time traveler, Zhang Mu has a historical trend for more than ten years. He knows which star will become famous, so he discovers them and trains them to make them successful. This is not a very difficult thing.

However, players like Slimani and Hillens who had no sense of existence in later generations were discovered and trained to become outstanding stars, and this sense of satisfaction was beyond replenishment.

After the game started again, Monaco steadily controlled the progress of the game. The two centers in the penalty area were so threatening that they had to send two specialized personnel to each guard against interference.

This method does have a lot of restrictions on the two centers, and coupled with the dense number of opponents in the penalty area, it is difficult to threaten the opponent's goal directly by heading the ball.

However, Slimani and Adebayo are not only good at kung fu, they are all-round centers, and the most powerful part is their ability to respond to the team's offense.

After the simple routine of crossing on the wing was blocked, Benardi began to dispatch the team's attack more through his feet. Two centers were in the penalty area, and no matter what tactics they used, they were all in a good way.

Since Flamini did not have much defensive tasks, he also participated more in the offense. What surprised Zhang Mu was that this tough midfielder's last pass was extremely thoughtful. Although it was not as accurate as Benardi, it was even more threatening. Especially the two straight passes were penetrated by the opponent's defense and hit behind the opponent's defender. If Adebayo had not realized it, he might have posed a threat to Bastia's goal by throwing away the defender.

It seems that Flamini was underestimated in his previous life, or his offensive ability was not fully developed, but this is true. Arsenal probably doesn't need to participate in the offense. Just do a good job as a scavenger in the midfield, and the same is true in Milan.

Since he showed this offensive ability, Zhang Mu would not continue to use him as a worker, which would undoubtedly be a waste of his talent. If he could become a small transit station around Hillens and maintain defensive strength, then Zhang Mu would never mind putting him into the main lineup.

While Zhang Mu was thinking about these things, Monaco once again threatened his opponent's goal.

After Benardi and Flamini made a two-for-one cooperation, they divided the ball to the feet of the sideline No. 1.

Today, Nongda played quite awkwardly. As a shooter, if he stayed away from the penalty area, his role would undoubtedly decline a lot. Today he is in such a state.

However, his breakthrough today was still very sharp. After receiving the pass, he suddenly dribbled the ball into the penalty area. After attracting the opponent's defender to press, he pushed the ball horizontally along the middle road. On this line, two centers were ready to break open the opponent's goal at any time.

Slimani at the front point made a volley, but when the ball appeared in front of him, he suddenly stepped over from above and leaked the ball to the back. His action completely made Bastia's defense completely confused because everyone was guarding his shot.

Adebayo at the back point kept squeezing the opponent's defender with his strong body, rushed to the ball like a tank, facing the goalkeeper who was attacking, calmly pushed the ball into the far corner, and sent the ball into the opponent's goal.
