Chapter 048: Tell you clearly, Xiaojie will start!

Tours have risen to prominence this season under head coach Daniel Sanchez, who were relegated last season.

Daniel Sanchez, 56 years old, is not tall, full of white hair, and only 1.7 meters tall, but he is very explosive, especially his crazy celebration on the sidelines, which can be described as a beautiful scenery on the side of the court.

Neutral fans will love Tours for his kneel-skimming celebrations.

That's the passion that football should have, and who says only players who score goals on the pitch can celebrate wildly? Even if you're a coach, even if you're a fan, you have the right to celebrate wildly on the spot!

You'll love a team because of a player!

You'll also fall in love with a team because of a manager!

Daniel Sanchez, definitely makes you a Tours fan because of him!

Daniel Sanchez, a native French coach, has a penchant for young players, and in his starting line-up, players under the Under-23 level occupy five main positions.

This kind of courage is not something that any coach has.

And the youth storm he hung up did not sacrifice the team's results, on the contrary, the team went all the way, and after 18 rounds of league play, it ranked 6th in the league, only 5 points away from the promotion zone, that is, the difference of 2 games.

At the pre-match press conference, a reporter asked Daniel Sanchez:

"Mr. Manager, your team's away record has been not bad, and Montpellier has just suffered a defeat from a third-division team, are you confident of winning this game?"

Daniel Sanchez said with a smile: "We didn't come to play away, but the opponent is a team ranked in the top 3 of the league after all, the defeat of the opponent in the last game cannot be used as a criterion to judge the strength of the opponent, their main players in the league did not play in that game, I am still cautious about this game." ”

The foreign captain of the Tours team, Gaetão Ungelebey, also said:

'The manager is right, the league is halfway through and Montpellier's third place in the league is a testament to their quality, and if we think we can easily beat the opposition, we would be wrong. Although they have just lost to a team in the third division, they are against the leaders of the third division, which is comparable to the team in the second division. ”

Gaetón Unglebebe, a 33-year-old from Belgium, plays in the midfield position, wearing the No. 8 shirt of the Tours team.

In the pre-match analysis, Montpellier's head coach Girard focused on the analysis of the old demon player.

Although Wenjie will not play against such a player, he still watched some highlights of Gaeton Unglebebe's matches.

"System, the most effective thing for this player should be his passing in the midfield, whether it is a short pass or a long pass, it is very accurate. If we can play against such a player in the game, we should be able to absorb a lot of talent energy from him, right? ”

"You're not wrong in your guess, according to the rating that this system gives to the player, his talent energy is the highest among all the players in the Tours team. ”

As a result, Wenjie is desperate to face Gaetan Ungrebe in the match.

Absorbing more innate energy from him, if you don't absorb it, it's really a waste.

But with Girard putting Wenjie on the wing, it was impossible to play directly with Gaeton Unglebe.

This requires Wen Jie to figure out a way on the field by himself.

After interviewing the Tours team, the media reporters threw the same question to the Montpellier coach Girard.

"Coach Girard, what do you think of this game? You've just suffered a defeat at home and you're coming up against a tough opponent and if you don't win this game, you'll be on a two-game losing streak. ”

Girard responded:

'We suffered a defeat recently, but it didn't dampen our confidence, on the contrary, our players are in high spirits and I think tomorrow night's game will be very good and we will definitely win back the hearts of the fans with a good performance at Ramonçon."

The reporters in the audience are still unrelenting.

"Have you ever wondered if if the team loses again at home, will it affect the team's promotion goals, and will the team fall into a winless cycle in the next games? If the final team can't achieve the goal of promotion to Ligue 1, you ......"

Girard was so angry that he directly interrupted the reporter and said:

"Since I said that the team's goal this season is to be promoted to Ligue 1, then we will definitely give everything for this goal, no if, I believe that as long as we play every league game seriously, the final result will definitely be satisfactory to all Montpellier fans."

Girard is very domineering, and the meaning is obvious, we Montpellier will definitely be able to appear in Ligue 1 next season.

Towards the end of the press conference, a local journalist from Tours, Indel-de-et-Loire, asked:

"I would like to ask Mr. Girard, we in Tours have used a lot of young players in the league this season, and under the head coach of Daniel Sanchez, we have five players under the Under-23 who have taken a starting spot, which has created a storm of youth in the second division, which can be regarded as a contribution to the youth development in France.

You've coached France youth teams before, but when I look at the players you've played under you this season, most of them aren't young, is that inconsistent with the coaching philosophy you've been preaching about reusing young players? ”

Girard seemed to anticipate the question and glanced at Tours manager Daniel Sanchez, who was sitting next to him.

Daniel Sanchez shrugged his shoulders, as if to say, this kind of question is not what I asked him to ask, you don't rely on me, it has nothing to do with me.

Girard responded:

"Indeed, Mr. Daniel Sanchez, who is sitting next to me, has made the most minutes of any manager under the Under-23s of any manager in the second division this season. As we all know, for the most part, you have to sacrifice the results of the team, but Daniel Sanchez is different, he not only gave the young players a training but also took Tours to the sixth place in the league, which is a great achievement and I have to pay tribute to him. ”

But Girard's words changed sharply, and he generously said:

But who doesn't have the word youth in their dictionary? This reporter, I don't know if you have noticed that Xiaojie in our team, he is only 16 years old this year, but he has already occupied the starting position of our team. And, I can tell you right now that he's still starting tomorrow night!

It's because he's shown so much in training that even if he's only 16 years old, I'll put him in the starting line-up.

Who's to say I don't like to appoint young players? How to explain Xiaojie's example?

I like young players and I prefer to put them on the professional pitch but only if they show what they can do in the professional arena and if they don't have the quality they have, I'm going to take the liberty of putting them on the pitch and it's not just going to ruin them but the team as well. I hope you understand that.

Listen to the young players in the team, Xiaojie is your role model, you have to learn from him, as long as you show your strength in training, I will definitely send you to play! ”
