Chapter 11: League start
Ranieri was disappointed with Li Shou because of expectations. When Ranieri's expectations slowly returned to the substitute goalkeeper level, Ranieri discovered that Li Shou can actually be a substitute.
Especially in the last game against Lorient, although Li Shou, who started his debut, lost a goal, he performed very well in the first half. Not only did he not be responsible for losing the ball, but he also made several wonderful achievements. The save is to temporarily stabilize his position as a substitute goalkeeper.
With the end of the friendly match, the curtain of the French second league will officially kick off. Monaco's opponent in the first round is Tour, who was sixth in the French second last season, just pressing Monaco, seventh.
I have to say that this is a good opponent. If Monaco wants to return to Ligue 1 this season, it must overcome the opponents who pressed him last season.
But before the official start of the league, Monaco will have a media meeting to introduce the newly added goals and the new season lineup to the media and fans.
Ligue 1’s attention was not high. Although it was crowned in the top five leagues, the fact that Ligue 1 really received attention only took a few teams to participate in the Champions League, not to mention that Monaco was relegated last season.
Although Monaco has ushered in great changes this season, the attention is still not high. If the Russian oligarchs brandish the "Ruble" to dig people around the world, then Monaco may attract the attention of the media, but unfortunately, the Russian oligarchs are not willing Do it.
So except for a few well-connected media who care about Monaco, it is the fans, and they only care about the star players in the team, such as Monaco transfer king Ocampos.
The Argentine genius is well-known in Europe. Several giants have observed him. As a result, the Argentine genius moved to Monaco. This move naturally attracted the attention of the media and fans.
Therefore, the entire media meeting was almost focused on Ocampos and Ranieri. One was a genius and the other was a well-known head coach.
Li Shou? Sorry, who is that? The media didn't even look at Li Shou, let alone interviews. At most, one name was added when reporting the list of signings after the incident.
For the Argentine genius, Li Shou does not envy him, because he knows very well that as long as he works hard enough, it is only a matter of time before he surpasses Ocampos. His real eyes should be on those superstars.
Although the transfer period is not over, Monaco’s signings have already ended. The main goalkeeper Subazic performed well, and Li Shou and Sulzac’s substitutes were enough.
Not to mention other positions, even the current Monaco first team is a bit too bloated, but these are things that Ranieri should worry about and have nothing to do with Li Shou.
Ranieri gave the players two days off before the official start of the league. Ligue 2 is the same as Ligue 1, with 20 teams. In addition to the league, there are two other cups in France, namely the French League Cup and France. cup.
But for Monaco now, the domestic cup results are not important. Monaco's first task is to return to Ligue 1. Only by returning to Ligue 1 can we go further and be qualified to pursue true honor.
The two-day holiday is not necessary for Li Shou, if it weren't for Ranieri's compulsion and Perizzaro's persuasion, Li Shou would like to come back and continue to practice.
Li Shou’s physical fitness is very good, but according to Li Shou’s training volume, the two of them are also worried about what will happen to this product. After all, Sulzak still needs two weeks. If Li Shou is accidentally injured again, then Monaco A goalkeeper is left with Subasić.
There is nothing to do. Li Shou decided to play games at home. For this reason, Li Shou did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy a laptop. Although Li Shou prefers a desktop, the desktop does not have the convenience of a laptop.
The life of an otaku for two days is very peaceful, playing games is tired of watching a movie, hungry to eat something casually, Li Shou has not been so irregular for a long time.
The two days are very short, so Li Shou soon returned to a regular and two-point line life. For the first game of the new season, Li Shou has no expectations.
Because Li Shou knows very well that unless Subbasic is injured, he is absolutely impossible to usher in the starting lineup in the league, because Ranieri will not allow any accidents. Monaco must appear in the French Ligue 1 next season.
This can be related to Ranieri’s "money path" and future. If Ranieri can bring Monaco back to Ligue 1, then he will not only keep his job, but also receive an extremely generous bonus. Otherwise, he will be the team Dismissal.
In fact, if Monaco can really return to Ligue 1, all players will get a considerable bonus. Although the Russian oligarch is unwilling to be taken advantage of, he will never be stingy.
As for Li Shou himself, in fact, sitting on the sidelines now has the same benefits. Through the previous friendly matches, Li Shou found that he can actually see everything on the sidelines when sitting on the sidelines, and compared to standing in front of the goal, he does not have Any burden, it is more conducive to adapt to the current changes.
On the last day of July, Monaco ushered in the first opponent of the season at home. Last season, it defeated its own Tour by a three-point difference~www.wuxiaspot.com~Louis II Stadium, one can only accommodate 18500 People’s small stadium, but even with such a small stadium, Monaco fans still cannot fill it.
In addition to Monaco's record, the most important thing is the national conditions of the country and the number of people in this country. In Monaco, not many people really like football.
Not to mention that Monaco is still down to the second division. In this opening game, the number of fans entering the Louis II Stadium can reach more than 9,000, and this number is because this is the first game of the season.
According to Monaco's attendance rate last season, only one-third of the stadium capacity, and the current season tickets sold prove this. So far, Monaco has only sold two thousand sets.
As one of the world's four largest gambling cities and a famous tourist city, Monaco has a considerable flow of people, but it is a pity that Monaco can't attract these tourists to the stadium to watch.
In fact, it’s normal to think about it. If you are not a diehard fan, who would like to watch a game without a big star team, football matches, the star effect is sometimes even exaggerated than the star effect, especially in a city with a developed tourism industry like Monaco .
Although Monaco does not have a so-called star, as far as Ligue 2 is concerned, Monaco's strength is beyond doubt, and the betting company's handicap can tell everything.
Monaco did not disappoint the bookmaker in the first game. Monaco immediately launched an offensive and completed a shot after the game began. The second wave of offensive even made Tour the first substitution in the game.
Thomas Garmiet was injured while defending, and Tour had to make a substitution. This substitution also directly disrupted the arrangement of the coach before the game, so that Tour was completely controlled by Monaco.
