There is an old saying in China, "You will not die until you reach the Yellow River, and you will not shed tears until you see the coffin."
That's how people are, they won't give up until the truth actually comes.
Before the game, Monaco's political and business celebrities were somewhat skeptical of Yang Huan's remarks that Monaco would lose.
Although they did not give any rebuttal on the surface, their eyes showed dissatisfaction.
But when Southampton took the lead in knocking on Monaco's goal with Suarez's goal less than ten minutes into the game, they couldn't believe it.
It should be said that the game has completely lost its meaning from this moment on.
You can see this just by looking at head coach Koeman.
At the beginning of the game, Koeman asked the players to fight resolutely and flash their bayonets, with the spirit of fighting Southampton to the end.
However, when Suarez scored, Koeman immediately asked the team to re-stabilize the defense.
Because he knows that when the strength is far inferior to the opponent, if he fights with real swords and guns, what awaits Monaco will be a massacre, which is unacceptable to Monaco, which plays at home.
Even Prince Albert, who was sitting next to Yang Huan, couldn't help shaking his head and sighing when he saw Suarez scoring and Koeman signaling the team to retreat and defend, "They have really tried their best."
The subtext of this sentence actually means that the gap in strength between the two sides is too great.
Although everyone else was a little unconvinced, they had to admit that the gap in strength was indeed huge.
Yang Huan was not at all proud or happy when he saw them like this.
Both teams belong to him, and he is destined to remain neutral regardless of who wins or loses.
And he knew in his heart that Monaco's defeat in the semi-finals was worth it.
If Monaco were unexpectedly upset and entered the final, would they have a chance of winning whether they met Bayern Munich or Atletico Madrid?
Stop kidding impossible No matter whether Monaco meets either of these two teams, they will not have any chance of winning, and in the end, it will only affect Monaco's long-term development.
Perhaps, in the eyes of many people, this is strange.
How can reaching the finals be worse than stopping in the semi-finals?
Judging from the club's income, the finals are certainly more rewarding.
But what if we look at it from the perspective of people’s hearts?
Entering the finals, it's a matter of life and death.
In theory, both sides have a chance to win, it's just a matter of probability.
But it's just like gambling.
Before the reveal, everyone thought they would win, and were even willing to place heavy bets for this faint hope.
But after the reveal, they found that they had lost.
The gap in their hearts was enough to shock them.
Take down a tough guy with a strong will.
Gambling is pretty good.
If you lose this one, try again in the next one.
But what about the Champions League final?
How many Champions League finals can a player have in his career?
Even if they are superstars like Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, how sure are they that their team can reach the Champions League final?
Therefore, in a Champions League final, players almost risk all their career hopes.
If they lose, the blow to them will be extremely heavy.
Then what The club has gained a lot of revenue, but the fans are unhappy, the players are unhappy, and the club has to continue to invest more, continue to bet on the Champions League, and continue to compete.
This is just like a gambler who has become red-eyed.
What if the club were smarter?
Next season, if it stops in the top 16 or the top eight, the fans will immediately hate it.
Nimei reached the finals last season, but this season is not as good as last season.
What do the management do?
Then the management took the blame, the head coach took the blame and resigned, and the team was in turmoil.
Therefore, to reach the Champions League final, it is best to win the championship.
If you cannot win the championship, it is best not to reach the final.

The defeat in the Champions League final last season was a huge blow to Atletico Madrid.
This season, when Simeone and Atletico Madrid's management were formulating the team's season strategy, Yang Huan said that no matter what the fans' attitude was, there would be no performance pressure in the Champions League, and the league would stay in the top three and strive to win the championship.
Why Because winning the La Liga title is more certain than winning the Champions League As a result, Atlético Madrid are the leaders of La Liga and have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League.
According to Yang Huan's estimation, Atletico Madrid cannot overcome the hurdle of Bayern Munich, and the gap in strength between the two sides is not small. but that's a good thing Simeone's team failed in the final last year.
The players can come out of the shadows and enter the semi-finals again, which proves that this team is strong enough.
In two or three years, the players will be fully mature and belong to Madrid.
The era of competition has arrived.
The same is true for Monaco now.
Falling in the semifinals is undoubtedly the most ideal result.
In this way, they will have something to look forward to, and the players' morale will not be shattered.
They will continue to fight for the Champions League final.
As for when we can reach the Champions League finals again, or even the semi-finals, God knows.
No, just as Yang Huan had this thought in his mind, Prince Albert had already spoken.
"Master Huan, this summer, the team needs to strengthen its recruitment and strive to compete in the Champions League next season."
Yang Huan felt funny in his heart.
Look, it's like this.
Do you really think that the eldest son of your family, Mr.
Huan, is a rich man from the Qatar Consortium?
My family's money is not dug out of the ground.
Making money is not easy, uncle.
"Monaco can't afford to fight now," Master Huan shook his head and sighed in a very serious tone.
When Prince Albert heard this, he frowned and said, "How do you say that?"
"Among the midfielders, Tularao is old and Biglia is 29 years old.
Especially Biglia.
He and Navas are both in high demand now.
The team's metabolism must also be put on the agenda.
The striker We need to strengthen our recruitment” Having said this, Master Huan looked at Prince Albert and said, "Tell me, Your Highness, how to deal with it."
Prince Albert was suddenly speechless, as if the problem was really big.
Yang Huan was helpless.
Reaching the semi-finals would make people so confident that they could misjudge the team's strength.
If they reached the finals, they might all think that Monaco could challenge the European giants.
"Master Huan, what do you think?"
Yang Huan smiled slightly, "Taking advantage of the current high prices, sell Biglia in exchange for a generous amount of cash, introduce a powerful forward, strengthen the strength of the front line, strengthen the midfield lineup at the same time, and vigorously support Rabiot With such young local rookies as the main players, priority should be given to the team’s competitiveness in Ligue 1 and ensuring a Champions League spot.”
Master Huan hasn't even said that if the price is favorable, there will be almost no one in the Monaco team who cannot be sold.
Anyway, there are ways to introduce replacement players.
Now even if someone does buy Mitrovic, Yang Huan will be able to find a replacement as soon as possible.
For example, Basel's Embolo or Ajax's Luis Adriano are both very good scorers.
As for selling Biglia, Yang Huan has already thought about it.
Fernando Jr. is good and worth considering.
In addition, Monaco previously tried to introduce Montpellier midfielder Sanson, but failed to reach an agreement.
He hopes to get it done this summer.
Together with Verratti, Rabiot, Kondogbia and Fernando Jr., Monaco's midfield is at least up to par.
But when Yang Huan said this, Prince Albert lost his temper.
"Master Huan, according to what you said, how can we be competitive in the Champions League?
How long will it take to win the Champions League?"

When Yang Huan heard this, his eyes widened, "Ni Mei, you still want to win the Champions League" The combined salaries of your eleven starting players are barely enough to equal Messi’s annual salary.
You want to compete for the Champions League?
You're not sick, are you?
Michael Bolingbroke, who was sitting next to Yang Huan, also laughed awkwardly.
Jean-Luc Bissing, a Frenchman, chuckled and said, "Your Highness, with our current business conditions, it is almost impossible to compete for the Champions League."
Bolingbroke also nodded and said: "Yes, unless the team's revenue can be raised to a new level in a short period of time, for example, a company suddenly sponsors the team on a large scale, allowing the team's financial revenue to expand to 200 million, In this case, we can fully afford a group of players who are qualified to compete in the Champions League.”
Large-scale corporate sponsorship The eyelids of the political and business celebrities sitting next to Prince Albert suddenly jumped.
Nimei, this is the rhythm of diverting misfortune to the east.
"Actually, Your Highness, if you operate according to Master Huan's ideas, that is the long-term solution."
"It's not like the last time Deschamps led his team to the final, but lost to Mourinho's Porto.
After that, our Monaco collapsed and even fell into the Ligue 2.
From this, it can be seen that Master Huan is right. " "Well, the Chinese have a saying, which is called accumulation, and Monaco should be in the accumulation stage now."
"Yes, when Monaco reaches a certain level of management and has sufficient capabilities, they can then introduce powerful stars to compete with the strong European teams."
Yang Huan sat aside and looked at the group of guys in front of him, and he was very happy.
They are really cunning.
Even before he said anything, they all started to avoid him.
And this once again proves one thing, that is, European football teams are simply such a hot potato.
This is especially true for a team with a political background like Monaco.
So, Yang Huan immediately acted on the principle that I would help you carry Monaco at a disadvantage, and both of you must take good care of my interests.
You must count on me for any good things, otherwise I will never be done with you.
In the stands, Master Huan and Prince Albert, as well as a group of Monaco's political and business celebrities, were having fun.
Below the stadium, the players of Southampton and Monaco were also having a heated battle.
Koeman knew that his team was not as good as the Saints, and he also had the attitude of winning as little as possible, and stayed to the end.
There is no way, Monaco itself is famous for its defense, and with the addition of Biglia, Navas, Abdulnour, Marquinhos and other famous defensive players who have become famous this season, Monaco's defense is impregnable.
When Southampton advanced by one more goal, they were sure of victory.
In addition, they were from the same team and did not put in all their efforts to defeat Monaco.
Therefore, both sides had a good mentality, good for me, good for everyone, and the final score remained 1-0. at last.
After the game, at the press conference, Southampton head coach Bielsa spoke highly of Monaco and Koeman, thinking that Monaco performed very well and created huge difficulties for Southampton during the game, and Koeman is definitely the best.
The most successful head coach in European football this season.
Koeman reciprocated the favor and spoke highly of Southampton, believing that the Saints are the strongest team in Europe this season and deserve to defend the Champions League.
But Koeman also said that although Monaco lost the first round at home and was already at a disadvantage in advancing, he still would not give up and must try his best to win in the away game.
And Bielsa?
It has also been repeatedly emphasized that after returning to home, Southampton still cannot be careless, because Monaco definitely has the strength to reverse the away game.
As the saying goes, one person carries another person in a sedan chair.
It is good for both parties if you flatter me and I flatter you.
More importantly, the media and fans also love to hear about it
