Football's hand covers the sky

Chapter 18 Compatriots and Accidents

With the end of the No.18 league round, Nantes overtook Monaco by 3 points, Guingamp also caught up, only 2 points behind Monaco, and the battle for the top three suddenly became fierce.

There is still the last round of matches before the winter break. The French league winter break is relatively long, with a full three weeks, so this No. 19 league round is related to whether Monaco can have a pleasant winter break.

In the current situation, there is basically no hope for the half-time championship. Even if Nantes loses the game, the two teams will only be divided equally, not to mention that Nantes' opponents in the last game before the winter break are not strong.

For Europeans and Americans, Christmas is the biggest festival of the year, but for a Chinese, Christmas is an ordinary day, and Li Shou himself has no habit of celebrating Christmas.

Although Li Shou didn't have the habit of celebrating festivals, he was in Europe after all, and he knew that Li Shou was alone, such as a few good teammates, such as Pellizzaro, and the kind boss Li Qi who was far away in Paris.

Li Shou finally accepted Li Qi's invitation. Although Li Shou had a good relationship with Raj and Pellizzaro, he was still a Chinese. Compared to these two, Li Shou naturally chose Li Qi, who was of the same race as himself.

If you want to have a happy Christmas and a relaxing winter break, the No.19 league round must not be missed. You must know that Ranieri's face has not been better since he was overtaken by Nantes.

So the Monaco players have been trembling in the training ground during this time, for fear of causing Ranieri to be sprayed, but Li Shou is obviously not in this ranks.

At first, Li Shou was only a substitute. With the French League Cup and the French Cup completely out, he has been reduced to a spectator, and there is basically no hope of appearing this season.

Secondly, Li Shou was the one who trained the hardest in the whole team. It was possible for Ranieri to slander anyone, but it was impossible to slander Li Shou.

In this way, Monaco ushered in the last opponent before the winter break. In the 19th round of the league, Monaco will go to the Leon Polle Stadium in the northwest of France.

Speaking of Le Mans, I have to mention one person, Ivory Coast Warcraft Didier Drogba, the center who is currently in conflict with Shanghai Shenhua over wage arrears, played for Le Mans for four and a half seasons.

Speaking of which, Le Mans and Monaco are still a bit of a brotherhood. Le Mans was promoted to Ligue 09 before, but in the 10-[-] season, the penultimate will enter Ligue [-]. A year later, Monaco will also come to Ligue [-] with this ranking.

However, the background of Le Mans is not as deep as that of Monaco, and it is not as lucky as Monaco. After entering Ligue [-], Le Mans almost fell into a slump, and its performance this season is even worse.

In contrast, Monaco still aims to return to Ligue [-], and this season has ushered in Russian oligarchs. Although the investment is not much, Monaco's investment in the past summer is still the most in Ligue [-].

In France, Le Mans is just an ordinary small club, but for China, Le Mans is a bit different, because there is also a Chinese player in the Le Mans team.

Zhang Jiaqi, the first player in China to obtain a professional contract after being trained through the youth training system, is different from Li Shou, who came to France through the official channel of the country.

However, Zhang Jiaqi's current situation is not good. He has never played in the first team during his four years at Le Mans, and he has never even been seen on the bench.

In this regard, Li Shou is still much better than Zhang Jiaqi. Although Li Shou has never played in the middle of the league, he often appears on the bench. Compared with Zhang Jiaqi who is easier to get opportunities in midfield, it is difficult for goalkeepers to get opportunities.

In fact, people in China also know that there is a Chinese player in Monaco's lineup, but there is no media report. After all, even a guy with a strong root may not have the media willing to report, let alone Li Shou, a wild way of becoming a monk.

Of course, there is another very important reason why the domestic media did not report. The football world still respects strength, and there is nothing worth reporting about Li Shou as a substitute.

However, in this game, domestic reporters still came to the scene. Although they knew it was impossible, they still had a little expectation in their hearts, but their expectation quickly turned into disappointment. Zhang Jiaqi did not appear in the 18-man squad for Le Mans.

This is also the first time Li Shou has met compatriot reporters. Ligue [-] does not attract as much attention as the previous four major leagues, let alone Ligue [-]. Generally, there are only two or three kittens on the sidelines of the media seats.

In the case of limited personnel and resources, domestic reporters will definitely cover more valuable and interesting games, such as Paris Saint-Germain and Lyon.

"Could it be that I have attracted the attention of the domestic media and fans in Monaco?" Li Shou obviously thought too much, and this guy obviously didn't expect that there was also a Chinese player in Le Mans.

Li Shou likes football, but even if he likes it, he can't pay attention to a Ligue [-] team. Like most people, Li Shou also pays attention to teams like Lyon, Marseille, and Paris Saint-Germain that often appear in the Champions League.

Li Shou's wild thoughts had no effect on the game. After the referee blew the whistle, the game officially started. As the last game before the winter break, there is no team that does not want to usher in Christmas with a victory, especially teams like Monaco and Le Mans that are in desperate need of a victory.

Le Mans, who played at home, took the lead in launching an offensive, but their first attack failed to complete the shot. Monaco's defense tacitly created an offside trap.

Two minutes later, Monaco ushered in the first shot. Valere Germain received a cross from the Argentine genius Ocampos and kicked it high.

One minute later, Le Mans also created an offside trap for Toure to drill, and then Le Mans also ushered in the first shot of the game, but Somet's shot failed to threaten Subasic.

In the next ten minutes, the two sides launched a fierce confrontation, and Le Mans seemed to have regained the feeling of being a Ligue [-] team in this game.

But reality often gives you a blow when you perform better. No. 204 minutes, the Le Mans central defender fouled in the penalty area, and the referee Tony Chaplon pointed at the penalty spot.

Carrasco personally took the penalty and helped Monaco take the lead in an away game. This goal was also the only goal in the entire first half.

But even if there was only one goal, the game in the first half was quite exciting, because the two sides played very openly in the following time, and the offensive of you coming and going was higher than the other.

This situation did not change after a 15-minute intermission. The two sides seemed to be fighting chicken blood, even though Monaco expanded its lead in the first minute of the second half.

Monaco's lead seems to have stimulated the Le Mans players. The game restarted and the Le Mans offensive was even stronger, and they chased two goals in 10 minutes to rewrite the score to 2:2.

This score also stimulated Ranieri on the sidelines, the Italian coach made two consecutive substitutions, and these two substitutions also helped Monaco achieve the final victory.

Revere, who came off the bench, sent an assist in the No.80 two minutes, and made a cross from the wing. Toure beat the defender in the penalty area with a header and scored twice.

Le Mans, who fell behind again, was obviously not reconciled, and immediately adjusted his personnel. However, Li Shou would never have imagined that this adjustment of Le Mans would actually allow him to usher in his league debut in Monaco.

No. In the 808th minute, Belfort, who came off the bench, collided with Subasic, who was attacking. As a result, both of them were injured. Although the injuries were not serious, the game could no longer continue.

Li Shou was stunned, because he was ready to sit on the bench for the rest of the league.

No. 1 replaced No. 11. No. 1 belonged to Subasic, and No. 11 was Li Shou's choice.

　It has been signed, everyone can rest assured to collect
