Lord of Greenery

Chapter 53 Crisis
The winter break is not only a time for players to rest, but also a good time for the team to check for omissions and introduce players.

Liverpool won the Champions League in 19 years, but the team's management did not gain much reputation, but many fans scolded them.

On the one hand, it is because Klopp is good at training players. Although the team has introduced the most expensive central defender and the most expensive goalkeeper, in fact, based on the transfer of several years, Liverpool did not invest much money at all.

On the other hand, at the critical moment when Liverpool competed for the league championship in 19 years, during the winter break, Liverpool boss Henry not only did not sign up, but let go of several players.

Facts have proved that Liverpool's performance in the second half of the season was greatly affected by the depth of the bench, and finally lost the championship. Three consecutive half-time championships failed to win the championship, which almost became a laughing stock.

It can be seen that the winter break is a very important time.

For Cannes, if you really want to upgrade, you must strengthen during the winter break.

After all, with the current lineup of Cannes, the starting players are still relatively good, but there are few usable players on the bench.

If it weren't for the emergence of youth talents like Jacques and Steven, it would not be an exaggeration to say that there is no one available on the bench in Cannes.

This happens for a very simple reason——

Cannes is out of money.

In the past few seasons, Cannes has invested relatively high funds, which has also allowed Cannes to gather a fairly good lineup.

However, last season, or the failure of the first few seasons, had a great impact on Cannes.

Ambitious and talented players will not stay long in a Ligue [-] team.

For these players, if Cannes failed to advance to the second division and failed to make them go further, it would be delaying their future.

Therefore, they left Cannes at the most critical time without any psychological fluctuations.

At most, the fans in Cannes did not welcome them.

But really, how many residents are there in Cannes?

How many Cannes fans can there be in the whole of France?

Cannes is such a small place, even if it is completely avoided in the future, it will not be a big deal.

Under such circumstances, the outstanding players just left one by one, leaving nothing for Cannes.

And Cannes, also fell into an anemia period due to the heavy bleeding in the previous few seasons.

When you spend money, you fail, and when you don't spend money, your results go up.

For Cannes now, the situation is so embarrassing.

What's even more embarrassing is that his grades are soaring now, and if he has the money to strengthen his skills, he will be able to upgrade for sure!

but no money...

Because of lack of money, Cannes even abolished the most important youth training camp.

This means that Cannes has no future.

The current owner of Cannes is ready to sell the team.

However, the embarrassing thing is that even if he lowered the price again and again, no one bought it.

With no money and no focus on running the team, Dusuye's request to strengthen the team was naturally put on hold.

On the surface, it was explained that it was shelved, but in fact it was abandoned.

Later, under Aristide's helpless explanation, Dusuye also knew the situation of the team.

In this regard, he can only do nothing.

The second half of the Cannes season is destined to use exactly the same lineup as the first half.

As the second place in the league standings, the eleven players in Cannes' starting lineup are destined to be studied over and over again by opponents, especially powerful competitors.

For example, the 19th round of the league is also the opponent of the first round of the league after the winter break. The team relegated from Ligue 1 is currently the number one team in the league, Clermont.

Perhaps everyone who knows the format thinks that this game will be a fight between dragons and tigers.

However, football games have never been so simple.

Cannes, which was still very good in the first half of the season, seemed to be unable to play football after a winter break.

After the first half of the game, the score became 2:0.

Everyone returned to the locker room with their heads down, looking at each other, not knowing what to say, the atmosphere was quite dull.

Before this halftime, they didn't think they were worse than Clermont.

But now...

Dusuye pushed open the door and walked in.

All eyes were on him in an instant.

Sensing these bewildered gazes, Dusuye's tense face softened instead.

He is also an old coach, so he can naturally see that the morale of his players is quite low.

He wanted to yell at everyone, but now he knew he couldn't.

"...Guys, this is not what we should show." Not daring to ponder for long, Dusuye quickly prepared his words.

"In the first half of the season, we finally ranked third. This performance is quite good, and I am quite satisfied. I am full of confidence and pride for you." Dusuye encouraged the players.

Now in the team, there are quite a few players who are only in their 20s.

In China, there is a saying "Thirty to stand".

It can be said that it is difficult to say how strong a man's psychological quality is when he is less than 30 years old.

Du Suye can only encourage, cursing at this time will only make the team fall into the abyss.

"The current situation is not your fault. We have no money to strengthen the lineup, and the opponent who becomes the winner is a new player who we have not studied."

"Jacques." Du Suye looked at his youth training genius.

Jacques noticed his averted gaze and lowered his head subconsciously.

"I know this is cruel, but I have to tell you that you are very responsible for these two goals." Dusuye tried his best to pay attention to the wording.

Jacques heard it in his ears, only felt that there were no other voices in the world, and all the colors faded away.

"Take a good rest in the second half." Dusuye turned his head regretfully and cruelly, "Thierry, you play in the second half and keep an eye on that Santos in Clermont."

Clermont has signings during this winter break. His name is Santos, and he is a center from Brazil.

He had no goals or assists in this game, but the Cannes players present and all the fans who watched this game were deeply aware of the role of that young man.

"Don't be polite to him, hit him hard!" Du Suye's eyes were murderous.

Santos is a genius, that's right.

But a genius is not necessarily a strong person, because the stadium is like a battlefield, and sometimes it will do whatever it takes.

"If he dares to surpass me, I will abolish him!" Thierry also had a fierce look in his eyes.

"Very good!" Dusuye praised.

In fact, Jacques is no less capable than Thierry in all aspects, but the problem is that he lacks experience and viciousness.

To be precise, this cannot be regarded as Jacques' fault, but he can only take responsibility.

If he can't bear this kind of pressure, even if he is a genius, he can only stop here.

It's ruthless, but this is professional football.

What is professional football?
Professional football is not about players taking money to play football, but taking money to win!

Professional players who can't win are not qualified!

Jacques didn't qualify, so he had to go off.

"Li, the second half..." Du Suye looked at Li Ze.

If you want to make a comeback, it is definitely not enough to just adjust the defense.

He had to rely on Li Ze.

At the moment when the four eyes met, Du Suye froze for a moment.

Those eyes did not look like a young man at all, but were full of determination.

In this locker room, only he has such eyes.

"What do you want me to do?" Li Ze asked.

He didn't understand why Dusuye stopped talking halfway through.

"...I want you to destroy their defenses!"

"give it to me."
