ALL NOVEL Thirty-two has no sense of existence!
Ye Yifeng had no time to say goodbye to Miguel Real and his teammates, so he packed his luggage and went to Monaco for a medical examination.
Penafierdo is idyllic, but Monaco, a pocket principality, is beautiful and gorgeous.
With the world-famous Côte d'Azur, the world-renowned Monte Carlo Casino, the F1 event is held every year, and the Royal Palace of Monaco fills this palm-sized place, so it's easy to get lost.
After Ye Yifeng passed the Monaco club's medical examination, he officially signed a contract with Monaco.
Penafiel received a transfer income of 2 million euros, which is almost equivalent to nothing.
No unveiling ceremony, no press conference, his arrival will be nothing for a club that has just returned to Ligue 1 with ambitions.
But it had a great impact on Ye Yifeng.
Leaving Monaco by long-distance bus, looking at the beautiful scenery of the sea and sky through the car window on the coastal road, Ye Yifeng, who was blowing the sea breeze, felt relaxed and happy, and at the same time, he was full of great ambitions!
He wants to succeed here!
Tang Mo and he stayed in Nice, which is nearly an hour's drive away from Monaco, because they couldn't afford a hotel in Monaco.
In the evening, Tang Mo excitedly gave him a popular science about the situation in Monaco.
For example, here is a tax haven.
For example, there are 3 millionaires in every 10 people in Monaco!
Ye Yifeng had a quick glance at Monaco today and he knew it. Luxury cars and supercars can be seen everywhere on the roadside, and there are many yachts docked by the sea...
Before the break, Ye Yifeng handed over his salary card to Tang Mo for her to keep, because the two of them will rent a house next.
It is also impossible to rent a house in Monaco, so he simply rents a house here in Nice. He just needs to take a long-distance bus to the club, and it takes an hour and a half to go back and forth.
Monaco's preparations for the new season began, and the media's mention of Ye Yifeng's joining was just casually mentioned in the news, and no one really took him seriously.
Even if there are 11 goals in 10 games, it is only in the Portuguese League.
If Monaco picks up any striker and throws it in the Portuguese League, it will definitely be the number one favorite in the league's Golden Boot.
When he first came to the Monaco dressing room, no one paid attention to his presence.
The acquainted teammates chatted, and some famous players would take the initiative to say hello.
Ye Yifeng found the wardrobe with his name tag on it, changed his clothes and sneakers, and left the locker room.
You're from Portugal, aren't you?
Ye Yifeng looked back when he heard the sound, and he was no stranger to the person who caught his eyes. He was often seen in football news in Portugal.
Colombian striker James Rodriguez.
Ye Yifeng stretched out his hand to him and said with a smile: Yes, congratulations, Porto won the championship again last season.
James Rodriguez walked side by side with Ye Yifeng to the training ground, he whispered: The locker room is too noisy, French makes me have a headache.
Who said it wasn't? My previous teams were either Brazilian or Portuguese. It was like an international party here.
That's right, I feel the same way, let's get used to it slowly.
I've seen reports about you in the Portuguese news.
You're pretty good at killing opponents, aren't you?
Ye Yifeng smiled and said: It's all the team's effort. Besides, it's the Portuguese League.
James Rodriguez bumped his arm and said: Maybe you will often kill opponents in Ligue 1.
I hope so too.
The two chatted casually and walked to the training ground, Ye Yifeng made his first friend in the new team.
Although the environment is unfamiliar, it doesn't mean that Ye Yifeng can't communicate with his teammates in the team.
Like the Portuguese players, Brazilian players, and Colombian players in the team, he can communicate with them in Portuguese.
It's just that most of the others don't care about his existence.
The team started to prepare for the summer. Ye Yifeng's performance in the team is not outstanding. The defensive midfielders and defenders in the team are basically stronger than him physically. Among the forwards, center Falcao and Barazite are obviously stronger than him. strong.
As for the competition skills, he has no advantage at all.
After seeing the footwork skills of players like Moutinho, James Rodriguez, Belgian Carrasco, Argentine Ocampos and other players in training, Ye Yifeng had some self-doubt: Why did Ranieri Introduce yourself?
Including the French genius Martial who is only 18 years old in half a year. He always has a cold expression of I am different, but he does have the capital to play cool.
His speed and technique can obviously beat Ye Yifeng by ten blocks.
In the regular physical reserve stage, Monaco will only spend very little time on training with the ball during training. Among the coaching staff headed by Ranieri, assistants Pettit and Paulo Benetti will organize players for group training. , interspersed with the indoctrination of tactical concepts.
The team's focus is still on new big-name players.
Midfield commander Moutinho, center Falcao, and James Rodriguez are the coaches who pay the most attention, and Ranieri communicates with them the most.
Ye Yifeng?
Stay in the corner first, there are still a lot of players in front of him.
The time came to the end of July, and Ye Yifeng had been training with the team for more than half a month. On this day, the team was playing a warm-up match at home, and Ye Yifeng didn't do much when he came off the bench, because he had already entered garbage time.
And the more he actively supports him on the field, the more his teammates ignore his existence. Other teammates want to perform and will not give up opportunities.
In a small community in the northern suburbs of Nice, Tang Mo finally decided to rent a two-bedroom apartment after two weeks of careful selection.
One day of cleaning, one day of simple decoration, new wall coverings on the walls, new lighting and curtains, the apartment suddenly looks brand new.
Ye Yifeng returned to the apartment today, and the ordered furniture was delivered to the home. Except for the wardrobe and bed in the bedroom, other electrical appliances were placed in the living room.
Ye Yifeng and Tang Mo successively placed electrical appliances in each designed position, arranged the TV cabinet, put the TV on it, laid a carpet in the living room, and put a coffee table on it.
After pushing the sofa against the wall, both of them fell down on the sofa exhaustedly.
But looking at the simple and exquisite appearance of the apartment, the two looked at each other and smiled.
They went out together holding hands, had dinner outside, and then returned to the apartment. Ye Yifeng had already showered after the game during the day, but he was sweating again when he went home to move furniture, so he went into the bathroom to take a shower.
Standing under the spray, he was suddenly embraced by Tang Mo from behind. Ye Yifeng smiled and said, Rubbing your back again? I'm really spotless every day now.
Tang Mo leaned against Ye Yifeng's back and said softly, Ye Yifeng, I want to give you a reward.
why?
Because you're under a lot of pressure.
The pressure on Ye Yifeng has indeed increased day by day during the first half month in Monaco!
It is impossible for him to suddenly become as high as his teammates!
He even felt that it would be impossible for him to reach the technical strength of his teammates in the future.
How can there be no pressure?
What do you want to reward me for?
I will reward you Tang Mo, my name is Tang Mo, the Mo who has been with you for a long time.
…
The white sandy beach washed by sea water and the scene of gentle waves crashing on the shore come into view.
Ye Yifeng was leaning against the car window, half of his face was illuminated by the sun, as if it was also emitting light.
Thinking of the first night with Tang Mo last night was like a dream, he knew that Tang Mo regarded that apartment as their home, why didn't he?
The phone suddenly vibrated in his pocket, and he found that it was his father.
After hanging up the phone, he smiled wryly.
The father received a transfer of 300,000 euros yesterday.
That was the signing fee paid to him by Monaco recently, and the bank card was with Tang Mo. Unexpectedly, she transferred the money to Ye Jianhua.
Parents decided to use the money to buy two houses, a big house for him to get married in the future, and a small house for his parents to live in, so as to save rent, anyway, it will be reserved for Ye Yifeng in the end.
…
The new Ligue 1 season is approaching, and Ranieri has only given Ye Yifeng about 20 minutes of bench time in the warm-up match to observe his performance.
The coaching staff of Monaco did not think highly of Ye Yifeng.
But it is not without advantages.
Defensively aggressive.
This is the main reason why Ranieri fell in love with Ye Yifeng in the first place.
As an Italian coach, it is natural to put defense first.
The roles and status of some players in Monaco's attack group in the new season are very stable and undisputed.
Center forward Falcao, James Rodriguez who can play as a midfielder or as a winger.
The midfield commander Moutinho, the person who spent a lot of money to buy is naturally in an unshakable position.
Who are the remaining components?
As far as the striker is concerned, it seems that Martial is definitely ahead of Ye Yifeng.
The 23-year-old Riviere and new aid Barazite are both center substitutes.
But there is also a 23-year-old French striker Germain who is enough to compete for the main position.
Ranieri will find a problem in piecing together the front line.
If Moutinho delays the organization, then the team needs the striker to contribute more strength in the defense. If Martial starts, either Monaco can crush the opponent, or they will have to worry about the midfield defense.
If Moutinho plays as a midfielder, this problem does not exist, because two midfielders with strong defensive strength can be arranged behind him to escort, allowing the attacking group to destroy the opponent's defense as much as possible.
No matter how he arranges his troops, the starting point of sending Ye Yifeng is to strengthen the team's overall defense and make up for the shortcomings of the striker's insufficient contribution to the defense.
It is common for big-name players to have weak defensive awareness.
Since Monaco does not have an absolutely gorgeous and explosive striker, it still needs hard-working players to be more pragmatic.
Even if Ye Yifeng was only a temporary choice.
Maybe next summer Monaco will replace him.
