Chapter 122: Take Lyon
"We retreated in the second half" is a typical Italian adjustment. As a conservative Italian head coach, Ranieri will never take risks with two goals leading.
Lyon scared Ranieri in the second half of the first half. Fortunately, Li Shou was as good as ever to ensure the goal was not lost. If Lyon recovered a goal before the end of the first half, Monaco would be in danger in the second half.
Ranieli's adjustment is also because of Li Shou. Li Shou's outstanding performance made Ranieli convinced that retreating was the best choice, which has been proven in previous games.
Two minutes after the second half, Li Shou also used a wonderful save to tell Ranieri that he was indeed trustworthy. Gomis forced Abidal to shoot hard and was saved by Li Shou.
Gomis actually performed well in this game, and his shots were quite threatening several times, but in the end, his shots were blocked by Li Shou.
And this is not over yet. In the 57th minute, Gomis got another excellent opportunity. It has to be said that after Li Shou reduced his command, there was a big problem with Monaco's defense.
However, these problems did not turn into opponent's shots in the end, because Li Shou used his outstanding performance to resolve these dangers, just like this next time.
Gomis rushed in and even rushed to the front of the goal, and then Lyon also passed the ball into the penalty area and sent it to the front of the goal. He headed the ball from close range, and the ball went straight to the dead corner.
The closer it is to the goal, the harder it is to defend. Gomis' header is not only very close to the goal, but also has a very good angle. Even when Gomis finished the attack, Lyon fans were ready to celebrate.
However, the cheers of celebration could only be stuck in their throats, because just as the ball crossed the goal line and flew into the goal, the nightmare hand appeared in front of all Lyon fans.
"On the night when the match against Monaco ended, I had nightmares all night, dreaming of the hand that stood in front of me," Gomis said in an interview later.
In fact, it is no wonder that Gomis had nightmares. Li Shou's performance was a bit beyond normal reaction. He headed the ball close at hand, and it was an absolute blind spot, but in the end he was still blocked by Li Shou.
"The incredible prediction is actually the first to start Gomis." It is no wonder that it is so surprising that Gomis has already risen before he completed the attack.
"It's not the first time that Li has done this incredible predictions, but no matter how many times he watches, it still makes people follow him." How could Barr, as Li Chuan, miss this opportunity?
Despair. If the despair before was brought by the score, then the despair now was given by Li Shou. Gomis looked at Li Shou and was a little desperate when Galder looked at Li Shou on the sidelines.
On the other side, Ranieri was a little lucky, thanking that he had suppressed Li Shou last season. If Li Shou was allowed to start, then Monaco might lose Li Shou in the summer.
But at the same time, Ranieri had a premonition that Li Shou could not stay in Monaco for too long, and he might not even be able to stay this season, because Li Shou performed so well and is currently the best goalkeeper in major European leagues.
If Li Shou was not in Ligue 1 and Monaco did not play in the intercontinental game, perhaps Li Shou has attracted the attention of the whole Europe now, but even if it has not attracted the attention of the whole Europe now, there are more and more scouts in the stands in Monaco.
Let’s talk about the current Louis II’s stands, the scout from London is almost always in Monaco. He can be seen in every Monaco game. Those who don’t know think he is a fan of Monaco.
The one who is most eager for Li Shou at present is Arsenal. Vivilia, who rented from Italy this season, does not satisfy Wenger. As a Frenchman, Wenger is also used to poaching people in Ligue 1. The most important point is that Li Shou is cheap, which meets Arsenal's consistent recruitment standards.
To be honest, the goalkeeper's position is indeed cheaper than other positions, but the most important thing is that the goalkeeper's position is difficult to buy, and even if you have money, you can't buy it. Now, like Li Shou, you may not be able to find a second in Europe.
Although some young goalkeepers have emerged in the past two years, the young goalkeepers are uncertain about the future. Just saying that Manchester United blocked De Gea was also a gambler, and only Ferguson dared to gamble like this in European football.
There is a fundamental difference between Li Shou and De Gea. Li Shou is also young, but from the starting game of Li Shou, we can see that it is very stable, or the save rate is scary, and such a Li Shou is completely worth investing in.
On the court, the game continued. Although Gomis began to shake against Li Shou, Lyon's offense was still strong. At least in the first twenty minutes, Lyon performed very strongly.
However, the strong Lyon still could not break through Monaco's goal. Li Shou's high contact made Lyon feel the depression of Sosha in the last game.
Wall, yes, although Li Shou in front of the goal is just a person, and it is not even a big deal compared to the goal, Lyon's current feeling is that the person standing in front of Monaco is not a person, but a wall, a blocking Lyon's strength in all shots.
With Li Shou's outstanding performance, Lyon never failed to break through Monaco's goal, and the 2:0 score remained until the end of the game.
Just after the Monaco game between Lyon, Monaco fans burst into more enthusiastic cheers in the stands, and soon Monaco players also knew why the fans were so happy.
Paris Saint-Germain stopped its winning streak. When Monaco welcomed Lyon at home, Paris Saint-Germain also challenged Saint-Etienne at Gichar Stadium.
In fact, Paris Saint-Germain almost lost in this game. When the game came to 90 minutes, Saint-Etienne still led 2:1, but just as the Saint-Etienne was preparing to greet him, Paris Saint-Germain relied on Matuidi's insertion to complete the final victory, and finally scored the score at 2:2 in stoppage time.
This is definitely a disaster. If Paris Saint-Germain does not equalize the score in the end, not only will the winning streak be ended, but the unbeaten season will be ended, and even the first in the standings will be surpassed.
Unfortunately, there is no if in this world. Paris Saint-Germain has kept its unbeaten season and has not been surpassed in the standings for the time being. However, this draw also caused Paris Saint-Germain to lose the top spot in the standings.
After the 11th round, Monaco tied Paris Saint-Germain in points, and both sides now earned 25 points, which is why Monaco fans suddenly cheered.
Although the points failed to surpass them, it is already worth a happy time for a team that has been in decline for so long. As for surpassing Paris Saint-Germain, it is not an easy task, especially after the end of this round of game, Monaco exposed a big news.
