In Spalletti's view, although attacking is an important thing, it is difficult for the team to achieve good results if the defense is not strong - Monaco has actually shown this sign last season, Wenger, who does not pay much attention to defense, has encountered a lot of problems when completing the third consecutive Ligue 1 title, and the opponent can often use a quick counterattack to penetrate the entire Monaco backline.

Therefore, Spalletti believes that the top priority now is to establish a complete defensive system for Monaco, which has just undergone a major reshuffle, otherwise it is difficult to say what kind of result the team will achieve this season with this porous backline.

Just as Spalletti was about to solve the team's defensive problems, the general manager handed him a personal information of a player and a videotape from Fiorentina, which should have helped him.

Spalletti, who had obtained the information, hid the letter suspiciously in his cabin, intending to study it carefully.

As a result, Spalletti stayed in the house for a day, and if he didn't remember to come out for dinner, someone would probably have checked to see if he had an accident in the room......

Arsene Wenger kept the duo of Thierry Henry and Trezeguet for Monaco, but in Spalletti's opinion, the two young players are quite poor in terms of defensive initiative. In order to hammer the two youngsters well, Spalletti has been looking for the right players to make the two have some sense of crisis, so that they can actively seek change.

And the Ivory Coast centre-forward recommended by Fiorentina is the type of striker that Spalletti needs right now.

The body is very strong, the defensive attitude is also very positive, and even sometimes retreats to the penalty area to participate in the defense, and is not greedy after taking the ball.

Drogba's fighting and selfless attitude has made Spalletti admire, believing that he definitely has the potential to become a very good striker. Although it can be seen from the video that Drogba has a huge lack of technique, it is nothing in Spalletti's opinion. A striker's offensive skills can be cultivated according to their aptitude, but defense depends entirely on personal attitude.

(Note: Historically, Spalletti has been quite good at developing players, especially those attacking players, and excellent goalscorers such as Montella and Di Natale are his protégés.) ）

Monaco will face a three-tier battle this season, bringing in Didier Drogba could add depth to the squad, and the Ivorian is now a free agent and can be signed without a transfer fee.

That's why Spalletti came to Paris during the summer training camp in order to sign Drogba, who has not yet been noticed.

"But, but, Coach Spalletti, don't you think that at my current level, I am not worthy of the club of Monaco that has a national reputation?" As soon as this sentence was spoken, Drogba couldn't wait to slap himself in the face - how many jobs did the Monaco coach turn down and run to Paris, isn't it just to sign with a nobody? Now when you say this to others, isn't it equivalent to saying that the other party sees you as blind?

Spalletti was not angry because of Drogba's gaffe, but looked at the big black man of Côte d'Ivoire in front of him who looked a little panicked, smiled lightly, and said: "Didier, it seems that you know very well what your weaknesses are." ”

"Yes, since I was a child, my skills have not been as good as those peers in the training camp, and most of the goals are scored by relying on my body." Speaking of his biggest weakness, Drogba also said helplessly, "I have also made a lot of efforts, but I don't know what the road is for, I just can't master those skills." ”

"I think that's because Didier you haven't found a football that works for you." Spalletti shrugged his shoulders and analyzed Drogba lightly, "I don't want to belittle the level of the French to develop young players, after all, they do rely on this youth training model to cultivate batches of stars, but I have to say that their training model is not suitable for you, so you have not been able to play to your physical potential." ”

"Huh?" Drogba has always heard from the coaches of those teams that his skills are rough and difficult to achieve, and this is the first time he has heard of this truth.

It is not to blame Drogba for being unheard, he has always been immersed in hard training in France, due to the relationship between his family and the environment, he has not had the opportunity to understand the football style of other countries, and naturally does not know that the romantic training mode of the French is not suitable for him.

"If you had grown up in England, I believe that with your physical condition and that tactical style of playing with long passes, I am afraid that you would have already broken into a world in English football." Spalletti briefly explained to Drogba the style of English football, "However, there are some benefits to training in France for so many years. I've seen your game footage and although your technique is still very flawed, it has been developed to a certain extent in terms of vision and the ability to carry the ball with your back, which you can't learn at all in England. ”

After listening to Spalletti's analysis, Drogba nodded, he did not make less balls for his teammates in training, but unfortunately the requirements for this kind of powerful center forward in football today are not how many assists he can give to his teammates, or how much defense he can do for the team in the game, but how many goals he can score in a season.

Clearly, Drogba is not up to par on one of the most important indicators.

"How's it going, Didier? Would you like to go with me to Monaco and become a super center that scares all teams? Spalletti smiled and held out a hand to invite Drogba.

For a while, Drogba felt that Spalletti's words were the most beautiful voice in the world.

Immediately afterwards, the Ivorian smiled, also extended a hand, gripped Spalletti's palm tightly, and said: "Delighted, Monsieur Spalletti." ”

"No, Didier." Spalletti smiled and pointed out the mistake in Drogba's words, "It's too nasty to call me that, if you want to join Monaco, you should call me the head." ”

"Well, sir, I'm very happy to join Monaco and I'm glad you gave me the chance to prove myself." Drogba nodded, and said, "I won't let you down." ”
