"Hello, welcome to La Turby, Master Huan" Halfway up the mountain behind Monaco City, La Thierby, Monaco’s training base, welcomed the team’s behind-the-scenes boss.
Head coach Martino led his coaching team to greet Yang Huan as he got off the car downstairs of the just-completed training building.
Accompanied by the club's two core senior executives, Michael Bolingbroke and Jean-Luc Busin.
"Hello, Gerardo" Yang Huan smiled and shook hands with Martino.
If Yang Huan remembers correctly, the Argentine head coach should have taken over Barcelona in his previous life.
But now, he is coaching Monaco and doing a pretty good job.
The new French Ligue 1 season has happened to be three rounds so far, and Monaco has won three consecutive victories.
Not only that, in the first round, with the goals of Depay and Mitrovic, after defeating Bordeaux 2-0 in an away game, they returned to the Stade Louis II in the second round and immediately defeated Montpellier 4-1.
Veach scored a hat trick.
In the following third round, Toulouse was defeated 3-0 at home again, with Depay, Aubameyang and Thauvin each scoring a goal.
In three league rounds, they scored nine goals and conceded only one goal, ranking first in the French Ligue 1.
As a newly promoted team, Monaco's limelight suddenly shocked the entire French Ligue 1.
Especially in the main lineup of this team, most of them are young players born in the 1990s.
They are all so talented that even the French Ligue 1 teams cannot express their envy and hatred.
Behind the team's outstanding performance, Martino's coaching team also takes the lion's share of the credit.
Of course, the generous bonus offered by Master Huan behind his back is also quite tempting.
Last season Monaco successfully promoted from the Ligue 2, and Yang Huan gave him an upgrade bonus of more than 4 million euros in one breath.
This amount of money is spread to each player.
It is indeed not a lot, but in the French Ligue 1, it is already much higher than other teams' winning bonuses.
Even Paris Saint-Germain won the championship.
The bonuses may not be so generous.
Therefore, each of the players is working hard to compete in the new season.
Accompanied by Martino and others, Yang Huan met with the players one by one, exchanged a few polite greetings, and cheered them up.
After being very encouraging, he allowed the players to continue training.
People return to the training building.
It was when he sat on the office chair in the conference room that a flash of inspiration flashed in Yang Huan's mind.
A very important reason why Martino coached Barcelona in his previous life is said to be the recommendation from Messi.
After watching Martino's performance coaching Newell's Old Boys, the latter recommended him to coach Barcelona.
But things are obviously different now.
Martino's coaching in Monaco is indeed very good.
The French team was also trained by him to produce pleasing offensive football, but it failed to attract much attention from the outside world.
First of all, there are no big-name stars, and they all rely on a group of young players to play the game.
Secondly, the French Ligue 1 is not a top league and does not receive much attention.
However, this is actually a good thing for Yang Huan.
"Gerardo, let's get straight to the point.
We are very satisfied with the team's current performance."
Yang Huan's words immediately received nods of approval, including from Michael Bolingbroke and Jean-Luc Buissing.
As a newly promoted team, Monaco can be ranked first in Ligue 1 after three rounds.
This is not an easy task.
"I have talked with them.
We all hope that the team can maintain the current momentum.
We hope that the team can be ranked in the top three in the league after the season.
What do you think?"
According to the Champions League points of the French Ligue 1, a total of three teams can participate in the Champions League, and the third team will participate in the qualifiers.
Therefore, the goal of Yang Huan and the management in the new season is to strive for the top three.

After listening to Yang Huan's words, Martino made eye contact with his assistants Jorge Baotaso, Adrian Coria and others.
The latter two people obviously felt that this goal was a bit stressful.
It’s no wonder that although the Monaco team is full of talents, the players are generally young and they are newly promoted.
This summer they introduced Martial from Lyon and Embolo from Basel in Switzerland, but both players have He is from the post-1995 generation.
This is obviously not the age to get results, right?
"It's okay, talk about the team's problems, you can speak freely," Yang Huan encouraged.
In his opinion, reaching the top three in the league is more important than anything else.
"Master Huan, with the current team's lineup configuration, it is still quite competitive in the Ligue 1.
In addition, Mitrovic's condition has been adjusted quite well this season, with four goals in three games, which is the same as Germany's.
The trident formed by Pepe and Aubameyang also works well together and shows sharp attacking power."
The stunning start to the league this season is inseparable from the outstanding performance of the Trident.
At least, these three players accounted for eight of Monaco's nine goals, and only one came from teenager Thauvin.
From this point, it is not difficult to see the importance of Trident's outstanding performance to Monaco.
"In addition to the Trident, we also have young players such as Tovan, Fekir and Benzia, all of whom are good offensive players, so there are almost no major problems in our frontcourt offense."
"The defense is not a big problem, except for the midfield.
I think if we want to win the top three in the league, we at least need to continue to introduce more mature and stable defensive players in their prime in the midfield."
When Yang Huan heard this, he also felt that it made sense.
Verratti and Kondogbia were the main midfielders of the team last season, and others including Germain, Mendy and Etheric were rotation players in the midfield.
As for the young player Martino is very optimistic about Although Rabiot has received many playing opportunities, he is only 18 years old and cannot be his own man for the time being.
As the team enters Ligue 1 this season, the opponents it encounters are getting stronger and stronger.
It is only natural to introduce a powerful midfielder.
Although this transfer transaction will definitely have to be paid for by Yang Huan himself, considering that if the team can successfully reach the top three in the league and enter the Champions League, it will definitely bring more benefits to the team. interests.
Thinking of this, Yang Huan knew what to choose.
"The European transfer market is almost over.
So far, there are not many defensive midfielders.
Are there any targets?"
Yang Huan asked with a smile.
After he finished speaking, he took out his mobile phone, logged into Southampton's official app, accessed the database, selected several filter items, and directly searched for the player's transfer information.
After checking, a long list quickly popped up.
Martino didn't know what Master Huan was checking, but after hearing the inquiry, he nodded.
"Well, we do have a few goals that we think are good ones."
Yang Huan nodded towards him, "Let's talk and listen."
"Toulouse's core defensive midfielder, Etienne Capoue, is 25 years old and in his prime.
He is also a French player.
He is quite good in terms of footwork and awareness.
He can also play as a central defender."
As soon as he said that, Yang Huan immediately found Capoue's clues in the mobile app.
Needless to say, Tottenham Hotspur had been eyeing him before, but after the Qatar tycoons took over, the standards of the players they introduced significantly improved, and they finally gave up on Capoue, but the scouting system did not consider him.
The evaluation is quite high.
"Another target is La Liga Málaga's defensive midfielder Tularão.
He is now 29 years old and is considered a famous European star.
His strength is undoubted.
He has been injured since April and has a contract with Málaga.
There are still two years, but the transfer fee will not be too high, and he himself is willing to return to his country. " This Tularan is a famous European star.
Otherwise, Malaga, the La Liga tycoon back then, would not have taken a fancy to him.

Although he has been unable to participate in the French national team since then due to internal strife during the 2010 World Cup, Tularan still has considerable popularity and influence in France, and in terms of strength, he is also worthy of the national team status. .
"Another candidate is the Argentina international Lucas Biglia, who currently plays for Anderlecht in Belgium."
"Argentina international" Yang Huan was stunned for a moment, obviously a little surprised.
When did the Argentina national team recruit a player who plays for the Belgian First Division team?
"Yeah, I've been watching him for a long time," Martino said with a smile.
From the expression on Martino's face, it is not difficult to see Yang Huan's appreciation for this player.
Could it be said that this is another case of a pearl covered in dust?
"How much are these three players worth?"
Yang Huan asked again.
Let Luc Bissing think for a while and replied: "Now we have entered the final stage of the transfer market.
Some players have even played a few games.
If you want to sign in, you must be quick.
In terms of price, It’s hard to talk about it.”
"You say" Yang Huan knows the rules of the transfer market better than anyone else.
"Toulouse has been suffering from a debt crisis recently.
The media had previously reported that Toulouse would have to sell off many high-quality players, including Capoue, to cash out.
However, Tottenham Hotspur, who had been the closest before, suddenly chose other targets.
After Arsenal introduced Ozil and Higuain, they chose Flamini on a free transfer.”
"In the end, no one is interested in Capoue.
If we sell it, the price should be around 10 million euros."
Seeing Master Huan nod, Luc Bissin was encouraged and continued.
"The problem with Tularão is that I don't know if he can return to form after the injury, and his salary is slightly higher.
As for the transfer fee, Málaga has clearly marked the price, and they can take him away for 5 million euros."
"As for Lucas Biglia, it's a bit difficult to deal with.
Currently, I have received invitations from many teams including AC Milan, Naples, Lazio, West Ham United, etc.
If I want to win him, I'm afraid."
With Monaco's current situation, it will undoubtedly be extremely difficult to compete with top league teams for talent.
Yang Huan used the mobile app to check Biglia's information and found that the scouting system also rated him quite well.
During the seven years he played for Anderlecht, he brought a total of five league championships and two league runner-ups to this Belgian team.
Moreover, he was an unbeatable core player, which shows that this player is quite capable.
Stablize.
Capoue and Tulalan each have their own advantages.
The former is a popular rookie in Ligue 1 and is in his prime, while the latter is a famous French star in his prime.
For Monaco, who is currently too young. , is definitely a powerful supplement.
"Master Huan, as long as these three players can win one, we will be more confident in reaching the top three in the league."
Martino said expectantly.
In fact, the weakness of the midfield has become a major hidden danger for Monaco.
Before Yang Huan didn't come, the management had no money and couldn't make decisions on many things.
Now that Master Huan is here, the problem is on the table.
What to do, just follow Master Huan’s instructions.
Jean-Luc Bissing, who was on the side, immediately took over after hearing what Martino said.
"Master Huan, I think Capoue is the most promising one to win.
If you think it's appropriate, then I'll call Toulouse.
There should be no problem."
From what he said, it seemed like he had a good relationship with Toulouse.

After hearing this, Yang Huan nodded and said: "Okay, you call Toulouse and bring in Capoue."
When Martino heard this, he felt somewhat regretful.
He does appreciate Biglia more, and at worst Tulalan.
As for Capoue, he is also good, but compared with the previous two players, he is still a little bit behind.
But since Master Huan said it, and the transfer period is so tight, it’s better than nothing, so let’s just make do with it.
But at this moment, Master Huan made a strange move
