Chapter 23: opportunity?
The battle for the top spot is indeed fierce, but it is not very good for Monaco, because Guingamp, who has been in excellent shape recently, has turned into the main goal at the beginning of the game.
In the first 30 minutes of this game, Monaco has been suppressed by Gingon. Fortunately, Monaco's defense was strong and did not give Gingon too many opportunities.
Gingamp, who won no scoring, began to lose his physical fitness after nearly thirty minutes of the attack. Monaco took advantage of the counterattack. Gingamp’s right back made a fatal error and kicked Ocampos’s pass into his goal.
After taking the lead, Monaco set off a counterattack frenzy, but under the frenzied attack, there were also flaws in the back line. As the goalkeeper, Subasić failed to create a miracle. Gingamp chased the score to 1:1 before the end of the first half. .
Monaco, who had changed sides and fought again, finally regained the home advantage, but the opponent was the first to score in the second half. In the 51st minute, Gingon center Atabare received a cross from Gilberto to overpower Medjani. The ball blasted into the goal guarded by Subasić.
The plot of the first half repeats again, but the offensive and defensive sides reversed, and the backward Monaco counterattacked wildly, firmly occupying the court situation, but gaining momentum and not scoring.
Gingon, who took the lead over the score, focused on defense. The head coach Gingon was a sensible person, knowing that his team's strength is still not as good as Monaco, so he immediately focused on defense after the lead.
Italian head coach is not very familiar with the head coaches of other leagues, but in this game, the head coach Guveneck of Guingamp seemed to teach the famous Ranieri a lesson.
In the first half, the opponent was the main goal, and in the second half, Ranieri’s Monaco was clearly arranged.
If it weren’t for the difference in strength between the two sides, the game might have ended in Guingamp’s victory. As the game entered stoppage time, Monaco finally converted the advantage into a goal and fixed the score at 2:2.
A draw is an acceptable result for both sides, although this draw once again allowed Nantes to tie Monaco in the standings. At his home court, Nantes finally ushered in its first victory in the second half of the season.
With the end of the 22nd round of the league, the competition for promotion places has become more and more enthusiastic. This is different from the Ligue 1. The current Paris Saint-Germain of the Ligue 1 is on top of it. The former overlord Lyon can only compete with Marseille for the second place.
It's a pity that the fierce competition between France and the Second Division will not attract the attention of fans and the media. Apart from their loyal fans, most of them like to watch the top leagues and watch the giants, not to mention the media. Their pursuit is a hot spot.
The absence of media harassment is actually a good thing for the team itself. The club does not have to worry about the media digging up the team's mess, and can concentrate on preparing for the game.
Let’s say that Monaco is originally a small pocket country. There are not many fans, and the media will not focus solely on football, because Monaco has too many things worth reporting.
So the pressure of the Monaco players mainly comes from the inside, from the head coach Ranieri. Although a draw is acceptable, Ranieri is still dissatisfied.
Because the club management has put pressure on Ranieri, according to Monaco's investment in the French second, the current results are definitely not proportional.
In the eyes of the club owner, Monaco should be like Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1 in the league, not like it is now.
Since the club owner is dissatisfied, the management naturally has to do something, so Ranieri is the one who is in the back. This is also the responsibility of the coach.
Ranieri is pressured by the club, so he can only express his dissatisfaction with the players under his account. This is football.
So this week, the Monaco players can only train carefully and work hard to get the next round to help the team get back on track to victory.
The best solution to the so-called pressure and contradictions is to win on the pitch. The iron that football matches has always believed is that the winner is king, and any stigma can be concealed under victory.
"Little guy, your mentality is very good recently." At the end of the day's training, Li Shou and Pelizzaro began to move the training equipment back to the storage room.
"Teacher, I'm just a substitute goalkeeper. Whether the team wins or not has nothing to do with me. Besides, I train so hard, even if the head coach is dissatisfied, it is impossible to vent to me." Li Shou shrugged.
In this half of the season, Pelizzaro not only often helped Li Shou to practice, he also taught Li Shou many things to help Li Shou move towards a real professional player.
Therefore, the teacher Li Shou is so happy that Pelicaro deserves it, and everyone has feelings. The relationship between them has long exceeded the relationship between ordinary players and coaches.
"Hahaha~~~ This is the rationale." Although the team has always been emphasized as a whole, the team's poor record really has nothing to do with having to sit on the bench.
What is the role of the goalkeeper? Try to ensure that you don’t lose the goal you guard~www.wuxiaspot.com~ But the victory of a football game depends on scoring. As long as you always score one more than your opponent, you can get the final victory.
"But even then you have the slightest slack," Pelizzaro said.
"Huh? What do you mean by the teacher?" Li Shou's training situation is the most clear to Pelicaro, and because of this, Pelicaro would never say such things.
"When the opportunity comes, it's up to you whether you can grasp it or not" Pelizzaro's words have already hinted very clearly.
"Ranieri is dissatisfied with Subasiqi's performance?" This was Li Shou's first thought.
Because Pelizzaro will not say this to himself for no reason, and as Ranieri's absolute cronies and the team's goalkeeper coach, he will definitely get news the first time.
"But Subasiqi's performance is not bad." Li Shou couldn't help but recall Subasiqi's performance, and then he got data from Pelizzaro to prove it.
Currently Monaco has played 22 rounds of the league, and Subasić’s goal just conceded 22 goals. The stats for conceding one goal per game are not bad.
Li Shou couldn't see the problem, so he didn't think about it anymore. Since Pelizzaro told him not to relax, just keep training hard.
Furthermore, although it is impossible for Pelizzaro to say this for no reason, it is not absolute. It may be that Pelizzaro feels that the long-term substitute has consumed Li Shou’s patience and deliberately said these words to motivate him.
Li Shou didn't think about Pelizzaro's words, but he didn't ask him. He didn't want his teacher to do it hard. After all, Pelizzaro is still a cronies of Ranieri, and even the goalkeeper coach of the team.
Li Shou didn't think much about it, but the opportunity really seemed to come. In the 23rd league, Monaco challenged Arles away.
