Chapter 16 The Maverick

After defeating Lens, the third round of the French League Cup came. Li Shou felt that he should be able to start in the French League Cup again with his performance in the last game.

But unfortunately, Li Shou felt that it was not Ranieri's opinion. From Ranieri's arrangement, Li Shou had roughly guessed that fair competition would be played one game by one.

As the saying goes, competition leads to progress. Li Shou and Surzak are both young players. Being healthy can help each other improve. This actually signs from the team's re-assembly.

Because of Li Shou's excitement, Sulzak has made great progress compared to before. Even though he lost the game in the next League Cup, Sulzak's performance is still remarkable.

Li Shou's mentality has now adjusted, and he has adapted well with the goalkeeper system and is no longer worried about gains and losses. However, Li Shou is still a little dissatisfied with the team being eliminated in the third round.

According to normal development, if Monaco can enter the quarterfinals, he will start again. One start means he can play two games.

But with Monaco's elimination in the French League Cup, Li Shou had to wait until the start of the French Cup again. According to the French Cup format, it would have to wait until mid-November.

As for the league, it is difficult for Li Shou and Sulzak to have a chance to play without Subasic being injured. Compared to Sulzak who can only watch it, Li Shou must be much better.

Time will not stop because of whom, and the league will not change much, so everyone from Monaco who was eliminated from the French League Cup immediately turned their attention back to the league.

In the ninth round, Monaco welcomed Ajaccio at home. Although Monaco, who played at home, tried to make three-pointers, the opponent did not give in. In the end, the two sides fought to 2:2.

Monaco's record has declined severely in the past four rounds, with one win, two draw and one loss in four games. However, Monaco's draw has not yet ended. In the tenth round, Monaco won the third draw in the last five rounds.

It was still at home, and the opponent in this round was Chartolu. When the referee blew the whistle of the game, the score on the field was still 0:0.

Also due to the recent poor record, the attendance rate of Louis II Stadium has further declined. In the first five rounds, the average attendance rate of Louis II Stadium was around 6,000, but in recent games, it has dropped by only more than 4,000 people.

In the standings, although Monaco is still ranked first, it is only 3 points away from the second-place Nantes. If Ranieri cannot respond in time, perhaps the top of the standings will be handed over to others.

However, even if Ranieri needs to adjust, he will not be able to move the goalkeeper position. Although Li Shou feels that he is no worse than Subasic now, and is even better than Subasic in some aspects.

For example, reaction, Li Shou has gradually adapted, and without restrictions, he has made significant progress in some aspects, such as bounce, speed and reactions that are very important to the goalkeeper, especially reactions, which are currently the highest among all attributes of Li Shou.

What does a fast reaction mean?

Take the last game as an example. Monaco's second goal against Ajaccio. If Li Shou guarded the goal at that time, he would have absolutely confidence to keep Ajaccio's shot out. Although the opponent's foot is very obscure, the opponent's angle is not good. Li Shou's reaction up to 18 is enough to respond.

Li Shou proved himself in this simulation. In the game when Monaco lost to Alefre, Li Shou used a world-class save gift package to keep his goal in the simulation. Although he still failed to defeat Alefre in the simulation, Monaco did not lose the game.

Since the start of the simulation game, Li Shou's progress has been obvious to all. Not only can Monaco players and coaches see this, but Li Shou himself can also feel it.

In the past, Li Shou could not save it when facing many shots, but recently, Li Shou felt that no matter what kind of shot he faced, he felt that he could turn it off.

But Li Shou himself felt that it was useless, and Ranieri still didn't want to believe him. The coach looked down on Chinese players from the bottom of his heart. Although he saw Li Shou's efforts, he also received his recognition.

Besides, this season is very important to Ranieri, and it is related to his own future and money. He will never take risks, even if it is just a little bit of danger.

The international match day was ushered in again after the tenth round, which just gave Ranieri time to adjust. Due to the recent poor record, Ranieri only gave the players a day off.

Li Shou is not keen on holidays now. He cherishes this opportunity very much, and he has no place to go on holidays, so he stays at home and plays games.

Although most of the people in Monaco are young, the ones with Li Shou are Raji and Medjani. Although the others are not very good at getting along, they are not bad. As for going out for private play, it is even more impossible.

Besides, Li Shou is boring himself because this hard-earned opportunity is not easy to get, and he usually has no time to spend time except training and practice.

So in the eyes of most teammates, Li Shou worked very hard, but it was boring. Moreover, Li Shou's behavior also made many people dislike him. Everyone is young. When we get back after training, you are practicing alone. What is the picture?

Make everyone think you are the only one working hard?

Raji and Medjani once told Li Shou about this issue, but Li Shou did not listen. In Li Shou's mind, you can wait for the future, wait until you really have enough strength, or even when you succeed in the future, why do you have to be now?

As teammates with good relationships with Li Shou, Raji and Medjani also know about Li Shou's situation and know that Li Shouzhen cherishes everything now, so they can understand it, but this does not mean that everyone understands it.

Li Shou was willing to go through the training for more than ten days, while other players could not resist and could only work hard. Of course, no player was willing to stay in the French Ligue 2, especially most of the Monaco team were young players.

As the saying goes, a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. This is especially good for young players. They are motivated and ambitious, and are unwilling to be involved in French Ligue 2. If you want to advance to Class A and enter the intercontinental arena, it is more like attracting the attention of the wealthy.

What does a wealthy family represent?

It represents the players' pursuit, fame and fortune.

Joining a wealthy family can earn a fame, which means you will become the top group of people in the world. While becoming famous, you will also get more income and become rich, and you won’t even have to worry about the rest of your life.

In a blink of an eye, the international match day passed and the league war rekindled. Monaco, who had a strong heart, also used a victory to declare his strength and his desire for upgrading.

When the game ended, the score on the field was frozen at 3:0.
