Bab 17: The bumpy road to upgrade
Just when all the Monegasques felt that the team would go on a winning streak again, Nantes' head hit directly made the Monacos unable to lift their heads.
In this season, the biggest enemies of Monaco's upgrade path are Nantes and Guingamp. The two teams are currently ranked second or third. In the fourth round of the league, Monaco has defeated Gantt. If this round defeats Nantes, That Monaco should be stable this season.
But it's a pity, it's just if, 0:2, this is the score after the game, in his home court, the Louis II Stadium, Monaco lost that is called a simple and neat.
In previous matches, even if Monaco was tied or even lost, the scene was dominant, but in this match, Monaco was suppressed from start to finish, and it was an ugly kick.
The ugly kick is not that Monaco is not as strong as Nantes. It is really better to say that Monaco is stronger, but if you lose the game, you lose. It is useless to find any excuses. The most important thing for Monaco is to know the shame and be brave.
Speaking of which, Monaco really did it. After losing to Nantes, Monaco won the next three rounds of the league. With this wave of three consecutive victories, Monaco once again led Nantes to the top of the standings.
The elevator system of Ligue 1 is to directly upgrade the top two of the standings, and the third place needs to have two rounds of play-offs with the penultimate third of Ligue 1, and the winner appears in Ligue 1, so Monaco can only keep the top two rankings. upgrade.
For Li Shou, whether Monaco is promoted or not has little to do with him. Anyway, he has no chance in the league. What is really related to Li Shou is the French Cup this week.
According to the starting order of the French League Cup, the first knockout of the French Cup should fall on Li Shou, and then Ranieri did announce the news.
However, the strength of the opponent of Monaco is really not enough to see, the Toulon from France Bing.
Although Li Shou did not get a chance in the league, in the simulation game, Li Shou has not conceded a ball in three consecutive games, and the threat to his opponents in every game is not big.
Among them, the strong strength of Monaco and Li Shou's progress during this period of time. During this period, Li Shou's changes are from the inside out, which can be said to be quite large.
Confidence, Li Shou's self-confidence before came from having a pair of magical gloves, but now, the gloves have become a system and truly become something of Li Shou. After gradually adapting, Li Shou's self-confidence also radiates from the inside out.
Outsiders can't really see this kind of change. They must be very close to Li Shou if they can really see it. For example, Perizzaro, the old Italian man doesn't know why Li Shou has changed so much.
But this change is a good thing for Li Shou, which Pelicaro observed very carefully. Even in Pelizzaro's mind, Li Shou is really qualified to compete with Subazic for the main position.
It's just that Perizzaro knows Ranieri too well. With the current situation, unless Subbasic is injured, it is absolutely impossible for Li Shou to appear on the starting list.
Although there will be no changes in the starting line, Li Shou gradually overwhelmed Sulzak in the selection of the second goalkeeper. Although training is not a game, Li Shou's performance in training is indeed better than Sulzak.
This can be seen from the last two rounds of the league. In the last two games of these three consecutive victories, Li Shou has always appeared in the 18-man roster. Before, both of them were out of the current roster in turn, especially in the next two games. Shou will also start in the French Cup.
Then Li Shou had a very boring game with Athletic Toulon, because of the crushing strength, Athletic Toulon could hardly threaten Monaco's goal.
However, this situation also tests the goalkeeper's concentration and response. The lack of threats for a long time will make people relax their vigilance. If the opponent suddenly kicks at this time, it is likely to lose the ball.
In fact, Athletic Toulon did something like this. At the 33rd minute, Athletic Toulon suddenly blasted a long shot. Fortunately, Li Shou focused enough and reacted fast enough to block the ball. .
In the seventh minute of the second half, Athletic Toulon quickly counterattacked after stealing the ball. It was Li Shou's outstanding performance that finally resolved this wave of offense and helped Monaco to enter the next round without fail.
This is another game that no one pays attention to. Not to mention that Monaco is currently in the French second, and the opponent is the French third team. Even when visiting, there are hundreds of Monaco fans on the scene, which shows the attention of this game. degree.
In the eyes of the media and fans, this game is not important, and I don't want to pay attention to it. Li Shou doesn't care whether he performs well or not, but the team's head coach sees it.
So in this game, Li Shou still had some sense of presence in front of Ranieri, especially after the two saves, Li Shou got back the kind of concentration he used to.
At the end of the French Cup knockout round, Li Shou, who returned to the league, sat on the bench again, and Monaco also won another victory, and Nantes at another stadium had a draw, Monaco regained the lead ~mtlnovel.me~ But Monaco's winning streak did not continue. In the eighth round of the French Cup, Monaco lost to Bourg, another French-C team, but Li Shou did not gain anything in this game.
Because of Sulzak, who started the French Cup, with the loss of this game, the battle between Li Shou and Sulzak is initially concluded.
Sulzac also knew that he was going to lose in the fight with Li Shou. After the game, the loss on the face of the French goalkeeper could not be concealed.
The French Cup lost, and Monaco, who returned to the league, failed to return to the track of victory. In the 17th round of the league, Monaco challenged Caen away. This game was also the worst loss of the Monaco season so far. .
3:0, this game fully demonstrated the instability of the young players. The paper strength of Monaco is still dominant, but on the court Monaco was pressed by Caen.
What makes Monaco even more uncomfortable is the victory of the competitors. Originally, Monaco led Nantes by 2 points, but with this defeat, the difference between the two sides became 1 point, but now Nantes leads Monaco by 1 point.
Ligue 1 is a direct promotion of the top two, but there is still a gap between the first and two. Although the Ligue 2 champion is not a real honor, it is also a champion anyway.
The 17-round defeat had a big impact on Monaco, so that Monaco failed to return to the track of victory three days later. Although it did not lose, a draw was not enough for Monaco.
In contrast, Nantes is advancing all the way, and ironically, Nantes' opponents in the 18th round just caused Caen, which was defeated by Monaco in the previous round.
At the same time, the third-pointed Gingon has also caught up. Since the tenth round, Gingon has never lost again, and has achieved an excellent record of 5 wins and 4 draws in the past nine rounds.
