Chapter 8 The Battle of the No. 2 Goalkeeper
Li Shou never dreamed that on the streets of Monaco, there would be a man who looked like an orangutan to chat with him, and the reason for the call was so weird that he wanted to invite Li Yi to his company to be a star.
Moreover, this man who looks like an orangutan was not the first time he met. Just yesterday, when Li Shou felt the sunset and sea breeze of Monaco for the first time, Li Shou had seen him and was fed a mouthful of dog food.
Of course, Li Shou would not agree to this invitation. He did not have the so-called star dream, but it felt good to be favored by others, which shows that his external conditions were very good.
Although it is a happy thing, this incident has no impact on Li Shou's life. After the two-day relaxation, Monaco's training camp officially started this season.
During this period, Monaco's personnel changed again. The only good news for Li Shou was that Monaco did not introduce another goalkeeper.
If nothing unexpected happens, Monaco's goalkeepers this season are composed of Li Shou, Subacic and Surzak, among which Subacic is the team's main goalkeeper, and Li Shou and Surzak compete for the position of No. 2 and Third Goalkeeper.
The goalkeeper has a number one day. Because of the special nature of the goalkeeper, he can basically play the whole season as long as he is not injured. Therefore, he is so lucky that he may not have the chance to play in a season. If he doesn't even have the chance to play in the second goalkeeper, let alone the third goalkeeper.
Speaking of the current situation in the world football world, the No. 3 goalkeeper is more just to seek peace of mind. It is like a decoration. Without the variables that are against the sky, you can't get the opportunity to play, so the No. 2 position is particularly important.
To put it bluntly, the second goalkeeper may still have a day to make a comeback, while the third goalkeeper will never make a comeback.
As for the current choice of the second goalkeeper, Li Shou is ahead of Surzak. There is no head coach who doesn't like hard-working players. Li Shou's training during this period has earned him a lot of impression points in front of Ranieri. If Pellizaro is included, it is safe to win 10 points, and there are still seven or eight points.
In fact, Li Shou didn't know that when Li Shou was rarely relaxing, Pellizaro came to Ranieri. As a confidant who followed Ranieri to Monaco, Pellizaro's words were still very important.
However, Pellizaro is not fighting for the second goalkeeper position for Li Shou. On the contrary, he hopes that Ranieri will not give Li Shou a chance so early.
"No~~~ I am very confident in Li. He is a child with great talent and willing to work hard, but he has never played a game before." Pellizaro did appreciate and like Li Shou, otherwise he wouldn't have been so worried.
"So you want to let him experience the real professional game on the bench first." Ranieri looked at his confidant.
"Yes, I don't want to appear too early to ruin him." Pellizaro obviously didn't know that Li Shou's heart was far stronger than he thought.
"George, it seems you really appreciate that little guy." The two of them have worked together for many years. This is the first time that Ranieri has seen his old guy value someone so carefully.
"Li has the talent to become the most top goalkeeper, and I even think that if Li can grow up smoothly, it will not be worse than Ji'an." The Gian that Pelizari said was Ji'an Luigi Buffon.
"Old guy, you're not kidding." Ranieri looked at Pelizari with a weird look on his face.
Who is Buffon? The best goalkeeper in the world football in the past twenty years and the best goalkeeper in the new century so far is one of the prides of Italian football.
Italians are very proud of football. Even if the Serie A is declining now, this does not affect the pride of Italians. Ranieri always doesn't appreciate Asian football, especially this player is from China.
"I believe in my vision and judgment." In fact, Pellizaro also has a more Ranieri-like heart, but Li Shou's appearance changed him.
"Okay, I will think about it carefully. But there is a big premise, that is, he can win in the battle with Martin." Seeing Pellizaro so confident, Ranieri couldn't help but become curious about Li Shou.
With such curiosity, Ranieli met Li Shou again. Of course, Ranieli was not only Li Shou, but also other players from Monaco.
Today is the day Ranieli meets all players for the first time. Before that, Ranieli has met with many players, including his compatriot Gila, and he has selected the captain of the new season German central defender Wolf.
Monaco has gone away a group of people last season, and this season has gone away with Ranieri's acquisition. Now Monaco can be a brand new team, and most of the players are very young, so the captain Ranieri looks very good.
The Germans themselves have a personality that is suitable for being the captain. In addition, Wolf's experience and age are there. The Germans in 1982 are the oldest player in Monaco.
The oldest player at 30-year-old Wolf, and the youngest player at 18-year-old Ocampos, is the youngest player. After his 18th birthday in July, Argentine genius joined Monaco.
Including Argentine geniuses, there are eight people in Monaco who were twenty years old and eight, nine people in the middle of 20 and 25 years old, and the rest are over 25 years old.
"I'm Claudio Ranieri" Ranieri began to introduce herself.
After Ranieri's self-introduction was over, the players also began to introduce themselves, and Ranieri spoke again after everyone had introduced them.
"I came here this summer, and many of you came here this summer, so I won't have any preconceived ideas. In the new season, you need to fight for your playing time." Ranieri is not the kind of passionate head coach, or the head coach from Italy.
Their usual performance is calm, wise, always keeping demeanor, and having profound tactical knowledge and theory, which is the best in the world football world in this regard.
After Ranieri finished speaking, everyone left with the team doctor. Usually the first thing the team gathered was a physical examination, so that the players could clearly understand the situation after indulgence and prepare for the next hell mode.
Players do earn more than ordinary people. Even for Class B teams, who can see the efforts of players? A season spans ten months. During these ten months, players conduct boring training day after day in order to maintain their health and condition.
In fact, this also allows you to understand why players are so indulgent when they are on vacation, because they don’t take advantage of the holiday and will start to restrain themselves for ten months when the holiday is over.
Indulgence comes at a price, which can be seen from the players getting their own physical examination reports, but not everyone is like this. For example, Li Shou has no physical problems. Even compared to the physical examination during the trial training, Li Shou's current physical fitness has reached a higher level.
