Chapter 397: Details Are the Devil
"There are four days left in the first round of knockout rounds of the Champions League, and I don't want any accidents in these four days, so I ask every player to ban alcohol, nightclubs, and go out, except for going home, and not allowed to go anywhere, if you can't do it now, mention it to me, if you don't say it now, as long as you get out of the conference room, whoever is caught by me, no matter who it is, I promise that the Champions League will not have a dime to do with him"
"Do you have any comments?"
Mancini's rare sharp speech made everyone in Manchester City suddenly a little unfamiliar, is this still the indecisive Mancini? This kind of rhetoric is more like the king of the mouth, Muinho, but even if the players have an opinion in their hearts now, no one has jumped out to say anything against it at the moment.
At this time, it was a fool to make the first bird, and no one knew whether Mancini was going to take advantage of Mansour's power to decentralize and make an example of the monkey, so with a safe idea, there was a rare situation of silence in the conference room.
This is completely different from the usual football meetings where Mancini's opinion can lead to endless discussions.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Mancini suddenly felt that the phone call he made to Haiko was effective, and after Haike heard about Mancini's current distress and analyzed his current situation, he directly began to encourage Mancini to make a word on the phone.
Just kidding, with the support of the club owner and Ye Xin's strength as defensive insurance, how cowardly should you be to dare not swing the stick.
Of course, Haike will definitely not say that Mancini is too cowardly, he just keeps helping him analyze his current status in the club, if he says that Haike thinks he is second, it is estimated that no one dares to admit the first, Mancini suddenly feels that his waist is stiff under Haike's flickering Dafa, his breathing is smooth, and he can climb the fifth floor in one breath.
So he decided to have a team meeting the next day.
It's just that the first moment he walked into the conference room, he regretted it a little, but he couldn't say the words when he came to his mouth, but when he saw everyone in Manchester City, he suddenly remembered the demolition of everyone in the last game, and anger suddenly filled his heart.
No one objected!
No one gave an opinion either!
It's a cool feeling!
Mancini vaguely recalls how he felt when he was in charge of another team.
Thinking of this, he once again affirmed Haike's ability to control people's hearts, and he didn't think that Haike could not do it tactically, but he still had a set of means to make people's hearts work.
But now is not the time to be cool for himself, Mancini saw that everyone was silent for a while, and once again threw out a heavy topic.
"Edin starts in the next game, Lescott starts, the rest of the personnel doesn't change, Tevez you don't have an opinion, right?"
Mancini's words suddenly lowered the already dull atmosphere of the conference room to a freezing point.
Everyone knows that Tevez and Dzeko don't deal with each other, but they didn't expect that Mancini, who has always worked hard to be a good man, is like a different person today, constantly provoking the bottom line of the two.
Just when everyone thought that Tevez would not be able to hold back his temper as usual, he rarely shook his head and said, "No comment"
And what is even more unbelievable is that Tevez has no anger on his face.
Mancini's heart, which was still a little uneasy, was suddenly as relieved as if it had been poured with water.
Tevez, the team's number one thorn, was finally leveled by himself.
As for Manchester City's second-biggest thorn Joe Hart, Mancini just glanced there for a moment and then walked to the tactical board without looking back.
Joe Hart, he didn't even bother to ask, whoever dared to say half a word in the first place of Ye Xin, Mancini dared to let whoever sit on the bench.
"Our first Champions League game was against Montpellier ......"
……
If the world is not only interested in the World Cup, then the UEFA Champions League is another football feast that is no less than the World Cup.
It represents the highest honour and level of club football in Europe, is considered the highest quality, most influential and highest level of club competition in the world, and is also one of the most expensive football and sporting events in the world, with more than one billion TV viewers watching the tournament via satellites every year.
One billion, what a concept, one-seventh of the world's population is watching.
So for all clubs, it's not just a league with huge prize money, it's a great opportunity to raise the prestige of the club, provided you have to be competent.
The teams participating in the Champions League are the best in their respective leagues.
No one thinks they are not qualified to reach the top, so every team is ready to compete in the Champions League.
As for their team's first opponent, each team is eager to find out the opponent's background.
So it is for Manchester City.
Montpellier, of course, is no different.
Montpellier has always been a little-known team, and three years ago they were just a Ligue 2 team, at the beginning countless people commented that they were like Hoffenheim back then, but I didn't expect that Montpellier really overturned the French Galaxy Battleship Paris Saint-Germain last year, and successfully won the league championship and Champions League tickets.
Although they did not have the crazy attitude of last season in the league this season, they also went all the way in the Champions League, successfully advancing in the group stage and reaching the knockout rounds.
Montpellier have made it clear that the focus of the team is on the Champions League, and they have only retained the energy to play in the league without being relegated.
They want to do another miracle in the Champions League.
Is it just that miracles are so easy to create?
René Girard looked at the information of the entire Manchester City team in his hand over and over again, and kept admonishing himself in his heart over and over again.
This is the Champions League, there can be no slackness, even a little bit.
From a player to an assistant coach of the French team to an under-18 coach to a reserve coach, he later came out and chose to play for Montpellier and brought a second-rate team to Ligue 1, and even pushed Montpellier to the Ligue 1 throne in the unbelievable eyes of countless people.
All of this may seem like a miracle to many, and the praise of countless people speaks to his coaching talent, but René Girard knows that his success is built on countless sleepless nights.
For René Girard, a win in a match is a stack of details.
The weather, the pitch, the attack, the defence, the mentality, the mood, the form, the fitness, etc., all these are the winning factors in René Girard's opinion.
Details are the devil, and only those who grasp all the details can defeat the devil.
So for Manchester City, as early as a month ago, he had figured out the characteristics of each player.
