Montpellier's head coach René Girard rarely had a good mood.

As the defending Ligue 1 champion, Montpellier, who created a miracle last season, performed well this season in a surprising way.

In the first four rounds of the Ligue 1, Montpellier's record was one draw and four losses, ranking second to last.

As Montpellier head coach René Girard is naturally under a lot of pressure.

Just two days ago, Montpellier finally won the fifth round of the Ligue 1.

Three to zero defeated the strong rival Sosha.

Montpellier performed well in both the results and the process, which put Giral in a much less pressure.

After the game, he once told the media that the team had only experienced a small difficulty in the opening stage. Now, Montpellier, who has regained the rhythm of the victory game, is still very strong.

Moreover, being able to regain the feeling of victory before the first game of the Champions League group stage also made Giral think it was good news.

To put it in his conversation with his assistants, it is: Montpellier can now consider the game against Aston Villa with full fighting spirit and enthusiasm.

When the lottery results were just released, René Girard expressed satisfaction with the lottery results.

A group with Aston Villa, Schalke 04 and Olympiacos.

As the fourth-level team, Montpellier avoided the second-level strong team Manchester City, and also avoided the third-level strong team such as Juventus and Ajax. This group is quite good and worth looking forward to.

Yes, Gilal really feels that he is lucky in this group and a real good sign.

In his vision, Aston Villa will win first place in the group, while Montpellier's goal is to win second place in the group.

Giral is calculating the score for Montpellier to qualify in the group.

Obviously, the direct showdown with Schalke 04 and Olympiacos is the most important.

Olympiacos' two-round victory is a must, and that's six points.

Then there are two games against Schalke 04. You must win the opponent at home and try to tie Schalke 04 away.

This is 10 points.

Given that Aston Villa is the only one, if Montpellier can get tens, it will basically be confirmed that the group will qualify.

Then, Gilal hesitated again. He went to Ao to the Schalke Stadium away to face Schalke. It was not easy to tie the opponent away. What if he lost?

Giral finally concluded that Aston Villa is too strong and it is difficult for other teams to get points against Aston Villa.

Because of this, if Montpellier can draw Aston Villa at home in tomorrow's game and get this key point, it will give Montpellier an advantage in comparison with other teams.

Yes!

The first game of the group stage against Aston Villa was Montpellier's first match after many years.

You cannot lose this game, you have to try to draw Aston Villa, which is very important for the team's trend in the Champions League, as well as the final qualifying, and for the team's morale.

"In the game against Aston Villa, our goal is to tie the opponent and get points from Villa!" In the pre-war meeting the day before the game, René Giral spoke out his goal.

Other players in the coaching staff have no objection to this.

If Gillar said that the goal was to kill Aston Villa in an upset home court, they might feel that Gillar had lost his calmness.

But, tie Aston Villa at home?

Montpellier is the Ligue 1 champion, and the Ligue 1 champion tied the Premier League championship at home, which doesn't seem to be too difficult...

Then, in an interview with French National 3, Giral said, "Montpellier is the Ligue 1 champion. We have the responsibility to safeguard the honors of Ligue 1. We are confident of winning this game!"

When he said this, he had a faint smile on his face and seemed full of confidence.

...

These words also made the media in France, especially Montpellier, very excited.

“Gilal’s smile is contagious and looks confident.”

"Although this is Montpellier's first Champions League after so many years, the team looks good."

The Montpellier Tribune said in a playful tone: Giral is Fang Jue from Ligue 1. We look forward to him being able to lead Montpellier to create Fang Jue to lead Aston Villa back to the Champions League. The first game was against Aston Villa, which was simply the most wonderful script.

Yes, because Montpellier, who has been returning to Ligue 1 for less than two years, won the Ligue 1 championship, especially overwhelming the rich team Paris Saint-Germain and the old Ligue 1 overlord Lyon, Montpellier's miracle is considered to be the miracle of Ibiza in Ligue 1, while Montpellier coach René Girard was praised as Fang Jue of the Ligue 1 League.

You see, Di Matteo is called Chelsea’s Fang Jue.

Giral is known as Fang Jue of the Ligue 1 League.

Our Mr. Fang Jue has created such a big name and has become a role model.

The coaching staff was surprised at why Gilal suddenly said such "confident" words.

Assistants question whether this is suspected of provoking Aston Villa.

"Nothing." Gilal said calmly. It's no big deal to express his belief in victory before the game, it's no big deal, it's the norm.

Everyone says Fang Juewenera will understand it, and will not think it is a provocation.

"And, our goal is to tie Aston Villa. Now, I say we want to win, why do I do that?" Giral asked the assistants.

"Rene, you are trying to confuse Aston Villa." The assistant said immediately.

"That's right!" Gilal nodded.

"Then why don't we show weakness? That's also confusing Aston Villa." Someone raised objections.

"That won't work. We are weaker than Aston Villa, and there is no unexpected effect in showing weakness." Someone said, "The boss's method is the most suitable. Anyone who hears those words will really think that we are trying to win at home."

"I am worthy of being the boss." The man also gave a thumbs up.

Gilal nodded and smiled.

He was hesitating before whether to show weakness to confuse his opponent or to show toughness.

Later he made a decision and showed his strength.

This is even more unexpected.

Now that he saw that his strategy has won the praise of his assistants, Giral is still quite content.

Now is the most glorious period of Giral's coaching career, and he is proud of his youth.

He cheered for his strategy:

Please call me Ji. Tactical Strategy. La. Master. Er!

Reqino, who is younger in the coaching staff, wanted to remind him not to backfire, which stimulated Aston Villa. However, after looking at everyone, Reqino, who is the least experienced in the coaching staff, finally didn't speak.
Chapter completed!
