Star Coach

The influence of Ligue 1 is not as great as that of other major leagues, and most of the transfers and purchases are small-scale, almost becoming a "star processing factory" for the top leagues.

Therefore, Monaco's purchases are still for players with little fame, and progress is very fast. In less than a few days, while Jiangshan signed the contract, the team also basically finalized Evra's transfer.

Evra transferred from Nice to Monaco for a transfer fee of 3.8 million euros, which is about the same price as Jiangshan's previous life. Jiangshan watched the transfer process from the side, and thought of himself as a helper, helping to bargain. The other party insisted on 4.1 million, and he cut 300,000 euros.

It was considered a small contribution in this transfer.

Of course, after the Nice club agreed to Monaco's contact with the player, Jiangshan approached Evra very early, painted a pie for him, and made him full of fantasies about the future.

Yes, as long as he joined Monaco and played in the Champions League, the platform would be big. After playing well, he would definitely attract the attention of top giants. Transferring there, money and fame would not be a problem.

Evra was not favored at the beginning of his career, but he gritted his teeth and insisted on his football career. When he was a teenager, he went to Italy alone and almost got lost at the station. Fortunately, he met a fellow countryman.

In Italy, his career still did not improve much. He left traces in Marsala, Serie C, and Monza, Serie B, and his performance was mediocre.

After transferring to Nice in Ligue 2, he began to get on the right track and made great progress. Last season, he played 35 times in Ligue 2 and helped the team to be promoted to Ligue 1.

It was because of Nice's performance that he attracted the attention of Monaco and successfully transferred to the quasi-giant club in Ligue 1. Otherwise, it is really unclear whether he could make a breakthrough.

Jiangshan's playing days were also unbearable. He could not become a star. With the experience of his previous life and his understanding of football history, he mixed some trophies. Evra listened to Jiangshan's story and resonated from the bottom of his heart. He wanted to make him a confidant.

The experiences of young people in a foreign country are always similar. He didn't know that Jiangshan had a deep calculation and had already placed people in the first team. It was him, the young and cheerful Patrice Evra.

After Monaco secured Evra's transfer, Jiangshan made persistent efforts and rushed to Boulogne, a coastal city in northwest France near the Strait of Dover.

It took another whole day to find an extremely ugly player.

During this period, Ligue 1 had the gold mine of Africa, and countless young people with potential went to France to play football. Arsenal coach Wenger knew Ligue 1 inside out and liked to come here to shop. Arsenal's Henry, Pires, Vieira, including later players such as Nasri, Skoccherni, Sagna, etc., are all French players.

Jiangshan specifically checked the scout information. Players such as Ronaldinho, Essien, and Cech have already made their mark in Ligue 1, but his target is not these few people. No, he can't afford it.

"Hello, Frank, I finally found you." Jiangshan said to the scarred man in front of him with a smile and a gentle tone.

Scar man was a little surprised after listening to Jiangshan's self-introduction. He couldn't even believe it. Is Jiangshan Chinese or English? He could become the head coach of Monaco's youth team.

And he wanted to recruit him? No one was optimistic about him. This yellow-skinned guy actually wanted to recruit him, "Are you kidding? I'm going to try out. I don't have time."

Scar man is 19 years old this year. He thinks he has good skills, but his appearance is really scary. Many teams don't even give him a chance to try out. Last season, he barely played for Boulogne in French Ligue 3.

His contract expired, and Boulogne didn't plan to give him a new contract. Helplessly, Scar man could only find a way out by himself. These days, French Ligue 3 Ales team gave him a chance to participate in the team's trial.

As soon as he walked to the door, he was stopped by Jiangshan.

Jiangshan's gentle breath surprised Scar man a little. Others felt scared when they saw him, and then stayed away, for fear of being infected by his scars.

But Jiangshan actually shook hands with him cordially and patted his shoulder, leaving Scar man speechless for a while.

"Can you give me a moment? I want to buy you a cup of coffee?" Jiang Shan continued, "Let's talk about football. Maybe it will change your career."

Across from the red-light district, there were many women with bare breasts soliciting customers on the roadside. The scarred man's eyes were fixed on the women, and he didn't drink a single sip of coffee.

Jiang Shan smiled, added sugar, stirred, and sipped slowly, "Football, money, and women, you can have them in the near future."

The scarred man finally turned his head and looked at Jiang Shan with difficulty, his eyes warm.

"Football is your ideal. I think you can achieve more than Papin in the future." Jiang Shan said slowly.

Jean-Pierre Papin is a great striker of France and the glory of Boulogne. He has joined teams such as Marseille, Milan, Bayern, and Bordeaux. He was the European Footballer of the Year in 1991 and won the Champions League with AC Milan in 1994.

"Me?" The young scarred man was not sure. Did Jiang Shan find the wrong person? Crazy, actually compared him with Papin, crazy, absolutely crazy.

Jiangshan nodded, "You have more potential than Papin. I have discovered many young people in Germany, but no player has made me so excited. You have magic, you will dominate the court."

"Football is an ideal. While realizing the ideal, you can also have wealth and charming women. This is France, you can do it."

"How to do it?" The scarred man certainly knew Hoffenheim's deeds, winning the championship without losing, the amateur team won the German Cup, and was promoted for two consecutive years, from the fourth-level team to the second-level league.

He was already moved, staring at Jiangshan. Jiangshan felt uneasy, I'm not a rookie, don't look at me with such a weird look.

"Join Monaco, I'll give you a chance, maybe half a year, maybe a year, you will definitely become a first-team player of Monaco." Jiangshan began to paint a picture.

"I am now the head coach of the Monaco youth team, but Sacchi has taken care of it. As long as there are excellent players, just recommend them to him. I think you are fully qualified."

"But I only played for Bologna last season, and..."

"Appearance is not a problem, I think you have extraordinary courage." Jiangshan knew what the scarred man was worried about.

He had a car accident when he was a child, leaving a scary scar, and the children didn't dare to play with him, so he could only play ball by himself.

"As long as you succeed, your scar will be a testimony to your success. I think you should conquer it, conquer your past self, instead of letting the shadow accompany you for life." Jiang Shan encouraged, "I will give you a chance. Believe me."

"Have you ever known Hoffenheim? The young people I brought in have all succeeded, and I believe they will become members of the German national team in the future. You can do the same, and you will become an important member of the French national team."

"Can I really do it?"

"Instead of asking me, you might as well ask yourself, do you want to succeed? Do you want to get countless wealth and sexy women?" Jiang Shan He patiently persuaded her, "You can have sex with the woman on the other side as long as you have money. If you want, I'll give you money."

"But is it interesting? Women like this are just commodities. What's the difference between having sex with them and poking a piece of rotten meat?"

"Come with me, I'll give you a contract and take you to the game." Jiang Shan finally said, "I'll give you a day to think about it."

"I'll go with you now." The scarred man stood up and said affirmatively, "I believe in your sincerity. I want success, I want money, I want women, I also want fame, and I want football ideals."

Jiang Shan smiled, got one, free of charge, without spending a penny.

The full name of the scarred man Frank is Frank Ribery, the left-wing master of Bayern Munich.
