The four players he wanted the most were not able to come, Yun Sheng was depressed, and he hurriedly sent transfer applications to several candidate player clubs.

Unfortunately, the bids for alternative players have also been very unsuccessful, either because the opposing club does not agree, or the opposing players are unwilling to choose to leave the club in the winter transfer period.

A few days passed, and Yunsheng still found nothing.

Although Yunsheng tried all means, it still had no effect.

Looking at the various news flying in the transfer market, Yun Sheng couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Although Ligue 1 is one of the five major leagues, it is still too far behind the Premier League, Serie A and La Liga.

Even compared with the declining Bundesliga, there is more than one level behind.

During the summer transfer period, many fans complained that he didn't understand player transfers, and most of the stars he bought were expired.

But how did they know that Yunsheng had 20 million euros in his hands, and there was really no better place to spend money.

At every turn, he can't look down on Ligue 1, and he wants to go to a bigger league at every turn, which makes Yunsheng very depressed.

At that time, being able to buy Ujfarusi and Kompany, and being able to sign stars such as Recoba and Shevchenko was already Monaco's ceiling.

Before this winter transfer period, Yunsheng was optimistic that the situation would be better.

After all, Monaco are now fourth in Ligue 1, and in the European zone, it should be attractive to go from the bottom of the Bundesliga to a team that has a chance to play in next season's European competition.

But he didn't expect that the bad situation still didn't change.

Now it seems that whether it is Ligue 1 or Monaco, the influence and attention are too low, and in some cases, it is not even as good as the leagues of the first division and the Eredivisie.

Seeing that Yunsheng's recruitment was blocked, even Liu Surong couldn't help but complain: "I think if you stay at Cottages this season, the league and the team will be far more attractive than Monaco." ”

Yun Sheng waved his hand: "Then do you think Crane is willing to give me a transfer fee of 20 million?" ”

"Impossible......"

"That's not it, it's useless to have a lot of influence, it's the support of the team that is the most important."

Despite this, Liu Surong still put forward her own ideas: "If you have the opportunity, I still suggest that you go to a bigger stage in the future to show your talents, even if you don't want to go back to the Bundesliga, then it is good to go to the Premier League, Serie A, and La Liga." Not only will it be able to improve your coaching skills, but it will also be of great benefit to the promotion of Yuntian. ”

"Although you are right, I will not leave for at least these two seasons, since I promised Prince Albert to help him revive Monaco, I will definitely do it, and when I bring a few decent titles to Monaco, it will not be too late to talk about the future."

Yun Sheng not only said this, he also did it.

In the past few days, the players have all returned to the team and started training, and they have a shorter holiday than many Ligue 1 teams.

Because before the start of the second half of Ligue 1, the domestic cup competition is about to start.

There are two cup competitions in France, one is the French Cup and the other is the French League Cup.

The French Cup, also known as the Charles Simão Cup, was created on January 15, 1917, and was originally named after Charles Simão in his honor. It is a wide range of tournaments organized by the French Football Association and open to professional and amateur football clubs in France.

The French League Cup is a single-elimination cup hosted by the French professional league. The winner of the cup can play in the Europa League. Unlike the French Cup, the French League Cup is limited to professional league clubs.

Because the winner of the French League Cup can participate in the Europa League, in the minds of many teams, the French League Cup is more important.

One of Yunsheng's goals this season is to help the team win a cup trophy.

In October last year, the French League Cup had already started, because the opponents were not strong, almost all of them were French lower league players, so Yunsheng did not send the main players, he arranged most of the youth team players to appear, and several young substitutes in the first team also got the opportunity to start.

To Yunsheng's surprise, these players actually played a very wonderful cooperation, they completely let go of their hands and feet in the game, although young and inexperienced, but in the face of lower league teams, these young people were full of confidence, played very open on the field, won the opponent with a big score, and successfully advanced to the round of 16 of the French League Cup.

In the quarter-finals in December, the youngsters once again showed their courage to win the match and advance to the quarter-finals of the French League Cup.

On 9 January, they met Grenoble in the quarter-finals for a place in the semi-finals.

Three days before this match, the first match of the French Cup final stage will also start on January 6.

For a few months in the second half of last year, it was the lower French teams vying for a place in the French Cup finals, with Ligue 1 teams not involved, and now 64 teams will be battling it out in the French Cup finals.

Because of this, Monaco's training camp is a little earlier than most teams.

After these two games, the second half of Ligue 1 will start on January 12, which means that Monaco will have an intensive schedule of three matches a week.

This is a great test for Yunsheng.

He wants the team to maintain their form in the league and the cup competition, so that the next three games will have to be carefully thought out.

The first match of the French Cup on January 6 was not too difficult, and the opponent was the team from Ligue 2 Vanis.

Wanis currently sit bottom of Ligue 2 and are in danger of relegation, making it an easier opponent to deal with.

The French League Cup quarter-final opponent Grenoble on January 9 is not weak.

Grenoble are currently 12th in the league and in the middle of Ligue 1. However, in the past 11th round of Ligue 1, Monaco once defeated this opponent 3-0, and there are still some psychological advantages.

However, Grenoble has performed well this season, they were originally aiming for relegation, but they didn't expect to almost reach the goal in advance, and they also performed very well in the cup, so Yunsheng reminded himself in his heart that he must not take it lightly.

And in the 20th round of Ligue 1 on January 12, Monaco's opponent turned out to be Grenoble, which is really a coincidence.

The two games, first away and then at home, are important for both teams.

Three games a week is a huge test of the depth of the Monaco bench.

And just two days before the start of the French Cup, there was new news in the transfer market again, and the opposing club gave the latest reply to several new offers from Monaco......
