Chapter 14 Cup debut (seeking collection)

The draw in the second round may have been just an accident. In the next three league rounds, Monaco made great strides and won three consecutive victories. In the first five rounds of the league, they achieved an impressive record of 4 wins and 1 tie, firmly occupying the top of the standings.

In these three league games, Li Shou still didn't get a chance to play for even one minute, and even sat in the stands in the last game.

But this didn't affect Li Shou's mood. Even after sitting in the stands, Li Shou was in a good mood, because after this round of the league, he could start the mock training match again.

Li Shou is top-notch in all aspects, whether it is comprehension or adaptability, he was a little caught off guard by the sudden change before, and there are too many practical concerns.

After two simulated training games, Li Shouwu realized that the head coach's pressure is important, but as a player, the most important thing is to see his own performance.

Therefore, when Li Shou played the second mock training game, his mentality really began to change, which can be seen from the subsequent training games.

"Carl~~ retreat."

"Captain~~~ Be careful on the left side."

"I'm coming~~~" Before the second round of the French Federation Cup, in a team training match in Monaco, Li Shou's voice sounded from time to time on the field.

Although his teammates may not necessarily listen, this does not prevent Li Shou from continuing to shout, because he has already concentrated all his mind on the match.

Li Shou's performance naturally did not escape the eyes of caring people, such as Pellizzaro, who had been helping him all the time. At this moment, the Italian old man's eyes were full of relief.

He has seen Li Shou's performance during this period of time, and he is also worried. As an experienced coach, Pelizzaro knows what is most important to young players.

In Pelizzaro's eyes, Li Shou had never played a game before, so as the season approached, his mentality was a little out of balance. This kind of imbalance is fatal to young players, but now, Li Shou has obviously adjusted.

Li Shou also knew what Pelizzaro was thinking. After all, the old man had been helping him, so Li Shou didn't deny it. Besides, there was indeed a problem with his mentality.

Li Shou's performance also seemed to have caught Ranieri's mind, and Li Shou's name was impressively listed on the starting list for the French Federation Cup.

"Is this the first game?" Although Li Shou felt unreal, he didn't seem very excited inside.

"Man, congratulations." After Ranieri left, Raj and Medjani sent their blessings immediately.

In this Monaco team, the two teammates who have the best relationship with Li Shou are the two teammates who practiced together, but the two are different from Li Shou. Raj not only made his debut in the first round, but also secured his starting position. Medjani made his debut in the first round of the French League Cup and made his second start in the fourth round of the league.

"In this way, I will not only play one game in reality, but also simulate another game. In this way, I can play three games in a row." If it weren't for the international match day that was separated by two weeks, Li Shou would have played four games in a row.

Monaco's opponent in the second round of the French League Cup is also the French second team, Niort in western France. This is a typical mid-lower team. After the first five rounds, it only achieved a record of 1 win, 2 draws and 2 losses.

Although Monaco is still dominated by substitutes and young players, it is still stronger than Niort in terms of strength. As a mid-lower team, although Niort hopes to go further in the cup, he also needs to consider the league.

Therefore, Monaco still has a great advantage, and it also reacts well on the field. Although Monaco is playing away, Monaco has always taken the initiative after the start of the game and quickly broke the situation on the field.

No. In the 11th minute, Balachite sent a through pass, and Toure successfully went to the meeting single-handedly against offside. Facing the goalkeeper who attacked by Niort, Toure pushed and scored from the far corner.

Ten minutes later, Monaco rewritten the score to 10:2. Dimon found Toure with a long pass. The latter headed back to Poulsen who was in the middle.

After leading 2:0, Monaco began to be a little distracted. No.206 minutes, Niort launched a surprise attack, and Jimmy Juan suddenly sent a long pass. The young player Pape Senna, who just came to Niort this season, played his speed to the extreme and rushed into the Monaco penalty area.

"Dangerous~~~Oh~~~No~~~Relief~~~The Monaco Oriental goalkeeper is attacking." Li Shou's first appearance did not attract much attention, and even the commentator asked why it was not Sulzak.

"A decisive attack~~~Let me re-introduce him. His name is Li Shou~~~He comes from a distant ancient country in the East." The close-range save tests the goalkeeper's reaction, and the attack tests the goalkeeper's judgment and timing.

Therefore, the timing of Li Shou's attack was close to perfect. The opponent's pass was so sudden that Monaco's entire defense line could not react.

While the commentator faced Li Shou for the first time, the Monaco fans also faced Li Shou for the first time. At the beginning of the game, the Monaco fans also questioned why this goalkeeper, who had never seen it before, was allowed to appear on the field.

Yes, I have never seen it before. Li Shou is transparent in the eyes of Monaco fans.

The fans in Monaco are not fanatical. The nature of this country determines the fans. Not to mention that Monaco has signed as many as 11 people this summer, and Li Shou is one of them.

Among the 12 players, Li Shou is the one with the least sense of presence. First, Li Shou has never played for a professional team before, and second, the goalkeeper itself is not a position that attracts attention.

Furthermore, Monaco has no shortage of goalkeepers. Although Subasic only came last winter, his performance has been recognized by everyone. Sulzak is a youth trainer of Monaco and is also well-known in Monaco.

In the eyes of many Monaco fans, Sulzak will replace Subasic in the near future, so the arrival of Li Shou will only be the team's third goalkeeper.

What kind of existence does the No. [-] goalkeeper belong to in a team?Unless one of the first two goalkeepers is injured, you'll never see him in the starting XI.

As for the media, the selling point they pursue is popular players. How can they pay attention to a player who is not famous at all. This was fully reflected in the previous media meeting.

You must know that although Li Shou's name was reported in the newspaper about Monaco's transfer the next day, his nationality was listed as Japanese. One can imagine what kind of existence Li Shou is in the eyes of the media.

Li Shou was naturally very dissatisfied with this matter, but he also knew that no one cared about his dissatisfaction. As a player, if he wanted to be noticed and respected, he had to prove himself in the game.

On the court, the ball that Li Shou hit flew to the feet of his teammates, Monaco turned from defense to offense, and as the situation on the court changed, everyone's attention immediately shifted from Li Shou.
