Chapter 69
After the game, the two head coaches attended the press conference together and talked about their views on the game. Guardiola highly praised Monaco's best player of the game after casually pointing out a few problems of his players. The best player of the game was given to the French genius Mbappe. His outstanding performance of one pass and one shot was amazing. For this young player, Guardiola said unabashedly: "If he likes the Premier League environment, then Manchester City will welcome him very much, and our boss will definitely be very willing to pay for this genius." "Sorry, Mbappe is not for sale!" Looking at Guardiola, who lost the game but was still eloquent, Jardim's first sentence in answering the question was not for sale. He refused to answer questions about transfers directly, because it was not appropriate to talk about them at this time, which would only increase the pressure on the players.
Faced with the temptation from the famous coach of a wealthy team, no one would remain indifferent!
Seeing that Jardim did not accept the offer, Guardiola just smiled and talked about Monaco's goalkeeper again, taking advantage of the opponent's ability and reaction, and did not hesitate to praise him.
Although he lost the first round, Guardiola was not the kind of person who could not let go. Although he lost the game on the field, he must not lose outside the field, and he was preparing for the next round.
He naturally had his own purpose for praising the opponent's players so publicly.
Anyway, they have money, and if they really want to buy the other party, they will not care about the price.
For Manchester City, for Guardiola, as long as the person is suitable, the transfer fee of hundreds of millions is not a problem at all, and the club owner has plenty of money for him to squander.
........
Monaco's players were quite surprised. After entering the player tunnel, they actually met two world-famous coaches, Mourinho and Wenger.
Facing the players passing by, the two of them high-fived and congratulated everyone with smiles on their faces.
"Congratulations!"
"Congratulations!"
"The young man is very good, keep working hard." Wenger smiled and touched Mbappe's head to express encouragement.
Wenger actually paid attention to this young fellow countryman a long time ago, but unfortunately died due to some objective reasons when competing for the other party.
But this did not prevent him from appreciating the other party.
Mbappe was very surprised and seemed a little shy.
He really didn't expect to meet the professor here, Arsene! This is the real Arsene. He once fantasized about becoming a player under the other party and conquering the Emirates Stadium like his predecessor Henry.
The King of Highbury! That is the memory of a generation.
"You have great potential, I'm optimistic about you." Mourinho also patted the other's strong arm and gave affirmation.
The former football madman has become much more humble now, but as long as he stands in a position, he will inevitably become the focus of countless people.
At the same time, Mbappe received encouragement from two famous coaches in the football world. He felt that this was the best reward for victory.
"For this reason, Mbappe excitedly asked the assistant coach to help take photos for them separately."
Not only Mbappe, almost every Monaco player took a photo with the two famous coaches as a souvenir.
"Lei, don't be so reserved, we are fellow countrymen, you performed very well, I like you." Mourinho said bluntly while holding Lei Ming's shoulders.
Wenger on the other side also took the initiative to extend his hand to Lei Ming and said to me: "Nice to meet you, Lei, I'm Arsene Wenger."
"Hello, professor, I'm glad to meet you too, and I've admired you for a long time."
........
"Hey, Lei, what did you talk about with the professor and Mourinho before? Can you tell me?"
On the way back, Mbappe curiously put his head on Lei Ming's neck and asked.
This made Lei Ming push him away with disgust.
"Don't ask about adults' affairs, just chatting about family matters!" Lei Ming said casually.
Recalling the conversation with the two famous coaches, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a smile.
Both famous coaches felt that their abilities were fully qualified to be selected for the national team. They also said that they would help them speak to the national team coach Santos at that time.
If I can invite these two great gods to come out, I'm afraid I will really have the hope of entering the national team in the near future.
The national team game is undoubtedly a very important game for every player. It is not important whether you serve your country or not, but
But it can definitely provide unprecedented exposure.
This is a large springboard that many players are looking forward to.
There are many players in the football world who do not perform well in the club, but once they arrive in the national team, they are like chicken blood, fighting more and more bravely, and thus being discovered by some giants.
Monaco is still too small, and this is not a team that can stay for a long time. They will never let any player be their one-man-one-city. Their top management only cares about interests.
Not only he knows this, but almost everyone in the team knows it very well.
But at least, their goals are the same now. Since they are playing for Monaco, they must perform well in order to get more attention from giants.
Mbappe looked at Lei Ming suspiciously, "Do you think I believe you? Forget it, I won't tell you. I'll tell you, my idol when I was a kid was Henry the Great, and I also like Arsenal very much. Do you think I have a chance to go to Arsenal?"
"Haha, I don't know if you have a chance, but judging from Arsenal's current performance, are you sure you want to go?"
This season, Arsenal has shown a decline in the league early. Some experts predict that Arsenal may not even be able to compete for the top four this season, because Wenger is really too old and he no longer has the ability and energy to coach Arsenal.
Although they are still somewhat competitive in the Champions League, everyone knows that facing Bayern Munich, the German Southern King, Arsenal is actually very dangerous, and the outside world generally does not look favorably on them.
"Ha, what's there to be afraid of? I've already won the victory if I go there. If you go there again, we brothers will join forces again and we will definitely turn the Premier League upside down and rebuild the glory of Arsenal."
Speaking of this, Mbappe's eyes were indeed shining, looking like he was looking forward to a better future.
Looking at him like this, Lei Ming couldn't help but hit him: "It is said that the club is currently offering you a value of 100 million euros. Do you think the professor will be willing to pay this money for you?"
Arsenal has created many football memes because of its lack of money in those years, and selling the captain is undoubtedly the most telling.
Only teams without money will sell the captain, who will sell if they have money?
In recent years, their highest transfer fee has never exceeded 60 million. It is not realistic for them to take Mbappe away.
Hearing this, Mbappe's originally excited expression suddenly collapsed.
Yes, lack of money is the original sin.
And the players are actually just the circulating commodities of the club. They have no right to choose the team during the contract period.
