Football's hand covers the sky

Chapter 38 Expectations and Disappointments

Perhaps many fans in China know that there used to be a club called Monaco in Ligue [-], but they certainly never imagined that Monaco had such a star.

It was originally intended to explain Li Shou to the fans, but at this moment, Monaco was first popularized by science, but this also let the fans know that Li Shou joined the club is not an ordinary club.

Just last summer, Monaco ushered in a new boss. Perhaps everyone is unfamiliar with the new boss of Monaco, but I think everyone knows that Chelsea’s boss, Abumovich, is also a rich Russian.

Abumovich is a benchmark, so when Duan Xuan played this name, fans knew that the new boss of Monaco was a rich man, and he was also a person who was willing to invest money.

In fact, this is indeed the case. A Ligue 3000 team has invested nearly [-] million in transfers. Not to mention being the best in Ligue [-], even the second-tier leagues of the five major leagues may not be able to find a second team.

In fact, I said so much just to let the fans know that Monaco is not an ordinary team, in order to improve Li Shou.

After introducing the Monaco TV broadcasts of Li Shou's first few games in Monaco, I have to say that the editor of the National Sports Channel is very good, and he cut out all the wonderful performances of Li Shou.

"Is this really a Chinese player?" After three clean starts and a world-class performance in three games, the fans who watched couldn't help being a little stunned.

In recent years, Chinese football has become more and more unbearable. On the contrary, more and more players from other Asian countries have poured into European leagues, especially Japan and South Korea.

For this situation, domestic fans hate and envy, hate the powerlessness and unbearableness of the national football team, and envy the growing strength of Japan and South Korea. To describe it in one sentence, it is that Japan is climbing up, and only Chinese football is going down.

After watching this wonderful video, the fans became a little excited and became interested in Li Shou, but Duan Xuan's next words poured cold water on all the fans.

"Although Li Shou performed well during the injury period of the main goalkeeper, it is not easy to shake the position of the main goalkeeper. However, through the performance of these few games, Li Shou has shown his strength and talent to the whole of France.

"However, all the offers from these clubs were rejected by Monaco. According to the latest news, Li Shou has already renewed his contract with Monaco."

"From Monaco's reaction, it can be seen that they attach great importance to Li Shou. Although Li Shou is still only a substitute, we have reason to believe and expect that he will appear on Monaco's starting list again in the near future," Duan Xuan finally said.

For Duan Xuan's words, the fans believed but were unwilling to believe. The expected result is often disappointment, and Chinese football has disappointed the fans too much.

But even so, the fans still have expectations in their hearts that Chinese football will get better and better. This has nothing to do with anything else, just because they are Chinese and they are Chinese fans.

Therefore, even if the fans say what they say, they still hope that Li Shou can really play, and they will always pay attention to Li Shou.

Because of the National Sports Channel, Li Shou has really entered the eyes of the Chinese people, but this is only the first step, although Li Shou is not aware of this situation yet.

Now Li Shou is fully preparing for the match against Nantes. After signing the contract with the club, Li Shou is full of enthusiasm for this match, because Ranieri himself promised that he will give Li Shou a chance to compete for the main team.

Higher expectations often mean greater disappointment. When Ranieri announced the starting lineup for the match against Nantes, a hint of disappointment finally appeared on Li Shou's face.

It's too early to talk about leaving, but Li Shou did have such an idea at this moment. Although the club and Ranieri said they would give him a chance, they also had an agreement. If Ranieri and the club can't do it, then the club will no longer prevent Li Shou from leaving.

When Monaco concedes a goal, Ranieri will think what will happen to Li Shou in goal, but in fact, in Ranieri's heart, Li Shou is still not as good as Subasic.

In fact, this is normal. Subasic has always been the main force before, and his performance is not bad. Although he often concedes goals, the goal conceded by Subasic is not high, and many conceded goals have little to do with Subasic.

Besides, Nantes is Monaco's most direct competitor, and the next game is a game that cannot be lost. In this case, Ranieri's choice to believe that the original main player Subasic is actually very understandable.

The reason why Li Shou was disappointed was because his expectations were too high, which is what Ranieri had expected of Li Shou at the beginning of the season.

No matter how Li Shou feels in his heart, the starting lineup cannot be changed, and the game is coming as scheduled. Li Shou is already sitting on the bench. Regarding this, many fans in far away China are as disappointed as Li Shou.

After the publicity of World Football, domestic fans began to pay attention to Li Shou, and even many fans jumped over the Internet to watch the Monaco game. This is not an easy task, because it is very difficult to watch the French second game itself.

Li Shou still didn't know this, and although he felt a little disappointed, when the match started, Li Shou would still watch it seriously, because it had nothing to do with anything else, and Li Shou would not let go of any chance to make himself stronger.

On the court, because it was about the top spot, the two sides played very cautiously at the beginning. In the first 10 minutes, both sides only scored one goal, and there was no threat.

After 10 minutes, the two sides let go a little bit, but they were still very cautious compared to usual. This was also the situation in the entire first half. It can be said that because of the caution of both sides, the entire first half of the game lacked passion and enjoyment.

Originally, the fans were looking forward to a game like sparks hitting the earth, but it turned out that you hide and I hide, and I am afraid that I will make a mistake and be caught by the opponent.

Fortunately, this situation changed in the second half. For Monaco, a draw is not unacceptable. After all, Monaco still leads Nantes by 4 points.

Nantes couldn't accept it, because Guingamp's game was over. Guingamp defeated Sedan 2:1 in the away game, tying Nantes in the standings.

Not to mention the top of the standings, there is a huge gap between the second and third places. The second in the league can directly advance to Ligue [-], and the third needs to play a play-off.

Nantes, who had nowhere to retreat, could only give it a go. Not to mention, the desperate Nantes really broke through Monaco's goal in No. 605 minutes of the game.

After Nantes took the lead, Monaco, who didn't want to accept defeat, could only do everything he could, but desperately Monaco still took the initiative back, and completed the lore at the last moment of the game to chase the score to 1:1.
