Chapter 065: Who's Talented, What Do You Think?
Montpellier at the pre-match press conference when they host the top team - Lens.
A media reporter asked the head coach of the Lens team, Jean-Guy Warimi:
"Mr. Manager, you said after the last round of the league that your young defenders are no worse than the opponent's number 29 young player, do you think your defenders will be able to defend each other in this game?"
Jean-Guy Warrimi laughed:
"As I said before, although the opposing player is now the most glamorous player in the whole Bundesliga, after all, his stats are there, on the contrary, our defenders are not as exposed as the opposing players, but that doesn't mean that our young players are worse than him! I think our young defender, Anlil, is a good player, better than the opposition player to be precise! ”
"Can I understand that your players will be able to defend the number 29 of Montpellier in this game?"
"Haha, you're a smart reporter! I understood exactly what I meant. ”
Lens' young defender S. Anlil is only 17 years old this year, the same age as Wenjie.
To be honest, S. Anlil, as a young defender, can play in the main position of the Bundesliga team at this age is enough to prove his talent.
It was not the young defender Anlil who followed the coach of the Lens team Jean-Guy Varimi to attend the press conference, but the captain of the team, and if Anlil attended the press conference, I believe that a large number of media reporters will ask him questions in the future.
Who made their head coach Jean-Guy Warrimi praise his talent so much?
There are contrasts, and only then can there be news hotspots to write about.
After the reporters in the audience asked the manager of the Lens team, the focus was locked on the head coach of the Montpellier team, Girard.
"Coach Girard, do you agree with what the opposing manager just said?"
Girard laughed:
"This reporter, please forgive me, I was drinking water just now, and I didn't hear what you said, could you please explain the problem again?"
What an abomination! How could he not have heard, he was deliberately pulling away from the topic at this time.
However, these reporters are not vegetarians, they just want hot news, if they can't make the remarks of the two managers conflict, then how can they get paid!
"That's right, the opposing coach said that their young defender, Anlil, is also a talented player, even better than your Wenjie, what do you think about that?"
Girard knew why reporters were asking him the question, but he wasn't going to let the reporters in the audience get his wish.
'At the back, being able to play in the main position at the age of 17 does require talent. In the history of football that I know, you can become a well-known defender at a young age, and Italy's legendary defender Maldini is a case in point. ”
Next, Girard began to speak.
"In January 1985, at the age of 16, Maldini Jr. started his first steps in Serie A, when the legendary coach Nils Lindholm said to him: 'Go out and play, it's just a game,' Maldini was very fortunate to start playing at a very high level and gradually grew. He learned a lot from Franco Baresi, and Maldini's increasingly sophisticated game at a high level of football and his role as the heart of the team gradually established the foundation for him to become the spiritual leader of AC Milan.
He was 19 years old when he won his first league title!
In the 1988~1989 season, Maldini won the first European Champions Cup of his football career, and in the final, he and his teammates such as Baresi made Bucharest useless with their airtight backline. While defending solidly, he added assists frequently to win 4-0 against Steaua Bucharest, and Maldini Jr. shone in this game. All of Europe is starting to pay attention to the young defender in Italy. ”
It's as if Girard was telling a story.
Seeing the puzzled look on the faces of the reporters in the audience, Girard said:
"Sorry for the delay. When I talk about Maldini's story, I mainly want to tell you that you should never underestimate young players, they also have big hearts. Jay is a player under my command and I know how powerful he is. In my mind, there are a lot of talented players, no matter what position you are in, there are always talented young players. But whoever they are, even if they've been to the Clay Fontaine Academy, they don't have as much football talent as Jay, who is arguably the most talented player I've ever seen, in any position. ”
The reporters in the audience understood, although Girard did not explicitly say that Wenjie's talent was higher than that of Anlil, but the meaning of his words was already obvious.
Wenjie's talent is higher than Lens' defender Anlil, even if they play in different positions.
These media reporters are happy to get the news material they want.
Now there is a subject to write about.
They looked excited, as if they had taken hormones, and their faces were full of energy.
Sure enough, after the pre-match press conference, the topic of Wenjie and Anlil's talent was the focus of discussion.
"I think Wenjie has a lot of talent, you just look at his stats in the league."
"It's still Anlil's high talent, Anlil is our local player after all, and he can sit in the position of the main defender of the top team in the German Second Division at the age of 17, which is enough to show his high talent."
"Yes, if there are no surprises, at the end of the season, Lens will definitely be able to get a place in the first division, think about it, at the age of 18, to be the main defender of a Bundesliga team, if you don't have talent, can you do this?"
"I don't agree, Wenjie of the Montpellier team is only 17 years old this year, and his development momentum is very rapid, he has also been selected for our country's youth team, if nothing else, he will definitely be able to become the seeded player of our French national team in the future, on the other hand, Anlil, he may not be able to become the defender of the national team, from this point of view, Wenjie is still talented."
"Not really, you all know, for offensive players, if he can't continue to score goals, sooner or later he will be pressed on the bench, if he doesn't play for a long time, he will definitely not be able to keep the game in good shape, you think, how can such a player make progress in future games, and Anlil is different, as a defender, as long as he plays not abnormally, he must be the main candidate for the head coach, from the perspective of future development prospects, I am still optimistic about Anlil!"
