Football's hand covers the sky

Chapter 19 The Debut of Nothingness

I guessed the beginning, but not the ending - Li Shou.

Who hasn't ordered the fantasy of fame, even goalkeepers.

Li Shou also fantasized in his mind and dreams that he would play a savior in danger in his first show in the league, but the reality slapped him hard.

Subasic collided with his opponent and was injured, but the opponent didn't get any benefits, and the opponent was even worse. Monaco still had one substitution, and the opponent's three substitutions had been used up.

In other words, Li Shou can come off the bench, but Le Mans has to face the lack of one person.

"If I remember correctly, this should be the first time this Chinese goalkeeper has appeared in the league." Every city has its own TV station, such as Monte Carlo TV in Monaco.

For the last league game during the winter break like today, the TV station often invites some special guests. These guests are usually the team’s past achievements. For example, in this game Monte Carlo invited Fabian Butters, the former French national goalkeeper who played for Monaco for five seasons.

Fabian Butters, the famous French goalkeeper, the goalkeeper of the 1998 World Cup and the 2000 European Cup double champion, is the most glorious goalkeeper in French history.

However, his "butter hand" is as famous as his glorious honor. Although this skill belongs to the ancestral heritage of the England goalkeeper, it was once carried forward by Butters.

But even so, it cannot be denied that Butters was still an excellent goalkeeper in world football, but this goalkeeper has now retired.

"Oh~~~Fabian knows this Chinese goalkeeper." Not to mention Butters, even the resident commentator doesn't know much about Li Shou.

"Haha~~~Of course, let me tell you a secret, this Chinese goalkeeper was brought back to Monaco by Mr. Catalano." Barthez said with a sly face while rolling his eyes.

"How is it possible, why don't we have any news at all?" Seeing the surprised faces of the two, Butters, who had achieved his goal, couldn't help showing a little smug expression.

As a Monaco fan, I must know this name, because in the past 20 years, the owner of this name has brought Monaco one outstanding player after another. It is no exaggeration to say that a large part of the credit for Monaco's achievements in the past 20 years belongs to him.

Therefore, this old scout who has played for the team for more than 20 years is respected by all Monaco fans, and the players he brought back have inherent advantages, because Monaco fans trust the vision of this old scout.

"And as far as I know, Mr. Catalano found out in a very amateur game." It is impossible for Barthez to check Li Shou's information specifically. The reason why he knew it was because he just had a phone call with Catalano before talking again.

After hearing Butters' words, the staff immediately began to search for Li Shou's information, but unfortunately, they only found out the probability of appearance in the two cup games.

"Although the opponents in the two cup games are not strong, the Chinese goalkeeper is still worth looking forward to." The commentator's words are more to give Catalano face.

Li Shou probably never dreamed that he would not enter the field of vision of Monaco fans because of his outstanding performance, but because of the reputation of the old scout in the hearts of fans.

On the court, the game has restarted, and Li Shou has already recovered from his stupefied state. Although there are only 5 minutes left, Li Shou still has to deal with it seriously.

However, Le Mans did not give Li Shou a chance to perform. Although Le Mans worked hard, in the absence of one person, Le Mans' efforts could not really threaten Monaco's goal.

Counting the 4 minutes of stoppage time, Le Mans only had one shot, and this shot was not within the range of the goal frame. Faced with this shot, Li Shou did not make any saves.

Le Mans failed to threaten Monaco's goal, and Monaco did not take advantage of the numerical advantage to expand the score. Compared with scoring goals, Ranieri hopes to keep a one-goal lead. After all, Ranieri is still the head coach of Italian origin.

So in these 5 minutes, Monaco passed more back and forth to pass the time, and the score of 3:2 was finally maintained until the end of the game.

Nothingness, Li Shou's first show can be said to be quite nothingness. He played 5 minutes, 0 saves and 1 touch.

"Hello, I'm Zhou Binyu, a reporter from China Football Weekly." In the mixed interview area after the game, the compatriot reporter finally approached Li Shou.

After all, everyone is here, so it doesn't make sense without an interview. Besides, Li Shou has completed his debut. Although it only lasted 5 minutes and didn't show any performance, it is much better than the one in Le Mans.

"Hello, I'm Li Shou." Li Shou greeted this compatriot.

This is also the first time that Li Shou has been approached by reporters. Before the cup games, let alone the media, there were only two or three fans.

"First of all, congratulations on your league debut in Monaco," the reporter said.

"Thank you~~~" Although I just stood there for 5 minutes, it can be regarded as my first show, which is a good thing.

"How do you feel about your first show?" Zhou Binyu officially entered the questioning session.

"I don't think so," Li Shou replied, which made Zhou Binyu embarrassed.

But it was indeed Li Shou's real thoughts. After standing on the field for 5 minutes, he didn't do anything except take a goal kick. In this case, what are his thoughts?

"Then say hello to the domestic fans and friends." The interview with Li Shou was obviously just a temporary idea, and these questions were also made up temporarily, so that he could keep up with his superiors and have an explanation.

Regarding this question, Li Shou would like to ask this compatriot in front of him, do any domestic fans know him?

"Hi everyone, my name is Li Shou. I'm currently playing for Monaco and I'm a goalkeeper." A self-introduction that couldn't be more standard.

"If possible, can I do an exclusive interview with you?" Zhou Binyu was quite embarrassed when he said this, and he probably knew that his questions were too perfunctory.

"Let's forget it now," Li Shou refused. Li Shou still had this self-knowledge.

"How about this, if I really become Monaco's starter in the future, you can come and do an exclusive interview with me." But Li Shou didn't say anything to death, after all, it was rare for him to meet a reporter.

And according to Li Shou's knowledge, both the club itself and the players have some media reporters who are familiar with each other, and they are mutually beneficial and help each other.

The current Li Shou is indeed just a small player that no one pays attention to, but he will not be like this forever, especially after half a season of training, Li Shou actually has the ability to compete for Monaco's No. [-] goalkeeper. What he is lacking now is just an opportunity.
