Football: The Hand that Covers the Sky

　　 This game against Niort was Li Shou’s starter. Such a treatment had never been done before. Li Shou also told Ranieri with his brilliant performance that his choice was not wrong.

　　 3:0, Niort still failed to break the goal guarded by Li Shou. Counting this friendly match, Niort has failed to break the goal guarded by Li Shou in three games.

　　 The second starter was Subasiqi. Under the stimulation of Li Shou, Subasiqi also hated his outstanding performance and helped the team defeat the opponent from France 2-0 with a 2:0.

　　 Ranieri’s opponents arranged for the team are not strong. This is mainly because Monaco has too many new players and tactics have changed. The need is not to test the strength of strong enemies, but to run the lineup through friendly matches.

　　 There are three opponents next, Li Shou occupied two starts and Subazic one. The starters arranged from Ranieri also discovered the change of the goalkeeper position.

　　 In the third game, Abidal also appeared in the starting lineup. He and Carvalho formed the Monaco central defender partner.

Seeing this situation, Cagmacha was the first to propose to leave. Except for the two veterans, Cagmacha is actually the strongest. However, this Uruguayan genius was not willing to act as a substitute for the team, and finally loaned to Varang. Shane and Medjani continue to be teammates.

　　 "What do you think of Lee and Danielle?" After five friendly matches, Ranieri called the two veterans Carvalho and Abidal to his office.

　　 "Both of them are very good," Abidal and Carvalho looked at each other and Abidal, who was the captain, said.

　　 "Go straight" Ranieri called the two to his office not to be official. Monaco wants to get good results this season, the defense is particularly important.

　　 "If we really talk about cooperation, I feel better with Li," Carvalho said.

　　 "Actually, I also think Li is more suitable for our two old guys." Since Carvalho has expressed his opinion, Abidal is no longer in official language.

"Yeah, Lee has a very broad vision. He can often judge the opponent's offensive route and then command us. Seriously, this helps us a lot." Carvalho is 35 years old and Abidal is 34 years old, for a veteran. Experience is an advantage, but reaction and speed are disadvantages. Li Shou's command made up for this to some extent, allowing the two to respond in advance.

　　 "Daniel is more focused on defense in front of goal," Abidal then said again.

　　 "I see" Ranieri nodded.

Although Abidal and Carvalho have played several friendly matches with Li Shou, if they know Li Shou, they are definitely not as good as Ranieri himself. One of the reasons why he asked them was to express the importance of these two veterans. , The second is like listening to objective evaluations.

　　 Both Carvalho and Abidal have just joined the team, and both have worked with Li Shou and Subbasic, they should be able to maintain an objective evaluation.

　　 The next five friendly matches ended, and time has come to August unconsciously, which also indicates that the journey of the new season is about to begin.

　　At this time, the training arranged by the coaching staff will gradually decrease. This is done to avoid any injuries and to allow players to recharge their batteries to prepare for the upcoming new season.

　　 Even Ranieri gave the players two days off, which is considered the last holiday before the start of the season, but Monaco's mission this season is actually not heavy.

　　 As a newly promoted horse, Monaco does not have the task of intercontinental competition. As a Ligue 1 team, the first few rounds of the domestic cup do not need to participate in the knockout rounds, so Monaco needs to focus on the league in the early stage.

　　 No, it should be said that Monaco is the league this season. Why did the Russian oligarchs invest so much money? Isn't it just to break the wrist with Paris Saint-Germain?

　　In fact, the league has not yet started. The French media have already begun to look forward to and hype Monaco against Paris Saint-Germain. This is the most watched game in Ligue 1 in recent years, and even attracted the attention of other European media.

　　 Two teams are piled up with gold dollars. Monaco has spent 140 million this season. Paris Saint-Germain is not to be outdone, spending more than 110 million.

　　 These two teams have invested more than a lot of giants in the transfer market, and they also caught the attention of the whole of Europe, but this kind of attention did not last long, because the major European giants followed frequently.

　　 But it has nothing to do with Li Shou. Li Shou, who is rarely on holiday, does not plan to cook at home anymore. After all, the new season is about to begin, and he wants to relax while there is still some time.

　　 So in the past two days, Li Shou and Samari’s lunch and dinner were settled outside. In other words, this is the first time that Li Shou ate outside for two consecutive days.

To be honest, Li Shou is not as familiar with Monaco as Samarial. In the past season, Li Shou spent all his time on the training ground. After Son Yezhen returned to Monaco, the team started training again and failed to take Son out. In addition, there is another reason, that is, this product will never drive~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Li Shou could have gone to school during the two-day holiday, but he immediately thought that the next period of time would be more free, so In the next two months, Monaco will compete once a week. After the fourth round, there will be an international competition day, which is enough for him to get his driver's license. After all, Monaco is not a domestic one. There is no need to queue for the driver's license.

　　 After the end of the two-day holiday, Monaco assembled again, with only five days left before the first round of the league, and the first round opponent of Monaco was Bordeaux, the Ligue 1 powerhouse.

　　 Bordeaux’s red wine is famous all over the world, and the Bordeaux football team also has a pivotal position in the French Ligue 1. The seven consecutive championships of Lyon, the former overlord of the French Ligue 1, is the end of Bordeaux.

　　 Although Bordeaux started to have some ups and downs after winning the championship, even so they did not fall out of the middle and upper reaches of the highest standings, which is unmatched by Monaco.

　　 The history of Monaco is no worse than that of Bordeaux. The last championship before Lyon opened the seven crown era was won by Monaco. In the Ligue 1 championship record, Monaco also beat Bordeaux once.

　　 But Monaco can't compare with Bordeaux in the past two years. Even though Monaco has invested a lot this season, Monaco is still just a newly promoted horse.

　　 Of course, no team really dared to treat Monaco as an ordinary newly promoted horse. The 140 million in the transfer market is not a waste of money. Every player is now preparing for the first round of the league.

　　 "Bordeaux is a strong opponent, it is a test for this brand new Monaco" Ranieri said in an interview.

　　 Ranieri is telling the truth. Although Monaco's goal is Paris Saint-Germain and the Ligue 1 championship, the upcoming first round is indeed an important test for Monaco.
