Chapter 521 Drogba who survived in a desperate situation (3)

PS: This is an additional update for 100,000 yuan. The next update will be 100,000 yuan. I hope everyone will support you to say more~

In Spalletti's view, although offense is a very important thing, if the defense is not strong, it will be difficult for the team to achieve good results - Monaco actually showed this sign last season. Wenger, who did not pay much attention to defense, encountered a lot of trouble when completing the three consecutive Ligue 1 championships. The opponent often uses a quick counterattack to break through Monaco's entire defense line.

Therefore, Spaletti believes that the most urgent task now is to establish a complete defensive system for Monaco, which has just undergone a major change of blood. Otherwise, with this back line with loopholes, it is hard to say what kind of results the team will achieve this season.

Just as Spaletti was about to solve the team's defense problems, the team's general manager gave him a copy of a certain player's personal information and a videotape, saying that it was sent by Fiorentina, which should be of some help to him.

Spaletti, who had obtained these information, hid in his hut suspiciously and planned to study it carefully.

As a result, Spalletti stayed in the room for a whole day. If he hadn't remembered to have dinner, someone would have checked if he had an accident in the room...

Wenger left Monaco with Gemini Henry and Trezeguet. Although they are talented in offense, in Spalletti's opinion, the two young players are quite unsatisfied in defense. In order to hit these two young people well, Spalletti has been looking for suitable players to make the two feel aware of crisis, so that they can actively seek changes.

The Ivory Coast center recommended by Fiorentina is the type of striker that Spaletti needs now.

He is very strong and has a very positive defensive attitude. Sometimes he will retreat to his own penalty area to participate in defense. He is not greedy for me after getting the ball. He knows how to play ball for his teammates with better positions. Although sometimes he will not be able to do it because of his skills, this can also show that the Ivorians have a good passing awareness.

Drogba's hardworking and selfless attitude made Spalletti admire him very much, thinking that he has the potential to become a very excellent striker. Although it can be seen from the video that Drogba has great technical shortcomings, this is nothing to Spalletti. The striker's offensive skills can be slowly cultivated according to his aptitude, but defense depends entirely on his personal attitude.

(Note: Spalletti in history is quite good at cultivating players, especially those offensive players, Montra and Dinatale are his favorite students.)

Monaco will face a situation of fighting on the third line this season. The introduction of Drogba can increase the team's bench depth. Moreover, the Ivorians are still free now and can sign bargains without paying for transfer fees.

That's why Spaletti came to Paris during the summer training camp to sign Drogba, which no one has noticed.

"But, but Coach Spalletti, don't you think that at my current level, I'm not worthy of Monaco, a nationally renowned club?" As soon as this sentence was said, Drogba wanted to slap himself - the head coach of Monaco has turned down so much jobs and went to Paris, just to sign a contract with him, an unknown person? Now that I'm saying this to others, isn't it equivalent to saying that the other party is fond of him?

Spaletti was not angry about Drogba's misconduct, but looked at the black Ivory Coast who looked a little panicked in front of him, smiled relaxedly, and said, "Didier, it seems that you know very well what your weakness is."

"Yes, since I was a child, my skills have never been as good as those of my peers in the training camp. Most of the goals were achieved by relying on my body." Speaking of his biggest weakness, Drogba also said helplessly, "I have made a lot of efforts, but for some reason, I just can't master those skills well."

"I think that's because Didier, you haven't found a football that suits you." Spaletti shrugged and easily analyzed it to Drogba. "I don't want to belittle the Frenchman's level of cultivating young players. After all, they have indeed relied on this youth training model to cultivate a group of stars, but I have to say that their training model is not suitable for you, so you have never realized your potential in your body."

"Huh?" Drogba has always heard the coaches of those teams say that his skills are rough and difficult to become a great man. This is the first time he has heard of this truth.

It is not a pity that Drogba is ignorant. He has been practicing hard in France for a long time. Due to his family background and environment, he has no chance to understand the football styles of other countries. Naturally, he does not know that the romantic training mode of the French is not suitable for him.

"If you grew up in the UK, I believe that with your physical condition and the tactical style of long-passing and rushing, you may have already made a fortune in English football." Spaletti briefly explained the style of English football to Drogba. "However, you have trained in France for so many years. I have watched your game video. Although your skills are still very flawed, they have been developed to a certain extent in terms of vision and ability to hold the ball on your back, which are simply impossible to learn in England."

After listening to Spalletti's analysis, Drogba nodded. He did make goals for his teammates a lot during training. Unfortunately, the current football world's requirement for such a powerful center is not to give many assists to his teammates or how much defense he has done for the team during the game, but to see how many goals he can score in a season.

Obviously, Drogba is not qualified in this most important indicator.

"How is Didier? Do you want to go to Monaco with me and become a super center that scares all teams?" Spaletti smiled and stretched out a hand and sent an invitation to Drogba.

For a moment, Drogba felt that the words Spaletti said were the most wonderful voice in this world.

Immediately afterwards, the Ivorians smiled and stretched out a hand, holding Spalletti's palm tightly, and said, "Happiness is coming, Mr. Spalletti."

"No, Didier." Spaletti smiled and pointed out the mistake in Drogba's words. "It's so unfamiliar to call me that. If you want to join Monaco, you should call me the boss."
