Football: The Hand that Covers the Sky

　　 In the Monaco head coach's office, Ranieri is holding the assistant coach and handing him the information of the players who have been training for the past two weeks.

　　 "This Chinese kid did a great job?" The first page of the file opened was Li Shou's information.

　　Name: Li Shou

Nationality: Chinese

　　 was born: 1992, 11, 11

　　 Height: 187

　　 Weight: 80

　　 "Yes, in this batch of players, this little guy performed the best one." Monaco has two assistant coaches, and the one who answers Ranieri at this moment is naturally his cron Paul Benetti.

　　 After Li Shou came to the Monaco training base two weeks ago, Ranieri never showed up on the sidelines of the training field again. For two weeks, he has been co-hosted by his cronies Paul Benetti and reserve coach Ayres.

　　 "In these two weeks, this little guy is the hardest and best." Benetti seemed to appreciate Li Shou.

　　 "We held four matches in two weeks. In the four games, this little guy didn't make any obvious mistakes," Benetti continued.

"Moreover, George also found that this little guy's ability to concentrate is terrible, even George said that this little guy is not as capable as Gian Luigi on the court." George Pelizzaro, another friend of Ranieri, from Italy Goalkeeper coach.

Speaking of this goalkeeper coach, the resume can be said to be quite rich. He started in Naples. For more than two decades, he has been in Florence, Valencia, Atletico Madrid, Chelsea, Roma, Parma, Inter Milan, Juventus. Effectiveness.

　　 From the names of these clubs, Pelizzaro’s ability can be analyzed. After all, the goalkeepers of these clubs are not bad, among them there are world-class goalkeepers like Buffon and Cesar.

　　 Benetti said "Gian Luigi" is today's football's first goalkeeper Buffon, so when he heard the name, Ranieri couldn't help but look up at his cronies.

　　 "George is very optimistic about this little guy" Ranieri's tone seems to have changed.

　　 "From these few matches, George did praise this little guy, but the level of a goalkeeper is impossible to judge from the match," Benetti replied.

　　 Indeed, it is impossible to see the level of player ability completely from training. The test of a player's true ability still has to be on the field, and the position of goalkeeper is very special.

　　 Players in other positions have so-called juvenile fame. They can be on the court at a young age and show their talents. That is to say, the "Argentine Ronaldo" Ocampos just signed by Monaco.

　　 This Argentine genius is two years younger than Li Shou, and even wants to join Monaco for one more month, but he has already become famous in world football through his performance.

　　 There are countless examples of this in world football, but the goalkeeper is completely different. In today's world football, there are only a few who are young and famous.

　　 The older generation of Buffon, made his debut at the age of 17, and was firmly seated at the age of 19, occupying the world's first goal for nearly ten years.

　　 Mesozoic Neuer, made his debut at the age of 20, was the main player at 21, and is currently the first Mesozoic goalkeeper.

　　 The new generation De Gea, made his debut at the age of 18, and was firmly seated at the age of 20. The high transfer price in the summer a year ago was poached by Manchester United.

　　 There is another condition for these people to be able to sit on the main force at a young age, that is, the main goalkeeper is injured, and other positions on the court will be injured more or less after a season, but the goalkeeper is the least likely to be injured in all positions on the court.

　　 As long as the main goalkeeper is not injured, the substitute goalkeeper has no chance, so compared with other positions, the goalkeeper needs more luck.

　　 But luck is only part. To seize the opportunity to become an excellent goalkeeper requires a strong heart. Other players can make mistakes, allow mistakes, and even save their own mistakes.

　　 But the goalkeeper does not have this right. If the goalkeeper makes a mistake, it almost means that the goal he is guarding has missed. Once the goal kick is lost, the goalkeeper will face tremendous pressure and even self-doubt

　　 This is also the reason Catalano warned Li Shou "never lose confidence in himself" before the trial, especially young people like Li Shou.

　　 Therefore, the goalkeeper is still at a certain age to renew his contract. Older people will have more experience, and people who have more experience will become mature. When people are mature, their mentality will also change.

　　 The goalkeeper is special not only because he is the only player with two hands on the court, but also because he has very high demands in all aspects, especially the heart and spirit.

　　 "Then give him a contract." As Ranieri's voice fell, Li Shou officially embarked on the path of a professional player and became a real player.

　　 More than an hour later, Benetti walked out of Ranieri's office, and when he returned to the training ground again, the players in this trial ushered in their final fate.

　　 Anxious, nervous, and expectant. For a while, everyone's eyes were on the assistant coach, and Li Shou was naturally among them.

　　 "Li Shou~~~" Benetti didn't talk nonsense~www.NovelMTL.com~ directly started calling people, and everyone was also very clear about what the name means at this moment.

　　 "Yes~~~" Li Shou has confidence in himself. Maybe he can't compare to the top goalkeepers, but he knows that he has an advantage that no one else has, and he has only one competitor among the players in the trial.

　　 Although there were two goalkeepers in the match two weeks ago, it was Ranieri to investigate the young Sulzak, which means that Li Shou’s real competitor is the old goalkeeper.

　　 The world of football is cruel. This is the first time that Li Shou has experienced at this moment. He tried out more than 20 people, but the assistant coach only called three people by name.

Goalkeeper Li Shou, the remaining two are central defenders, Andre Raj from Italy, played for Bologna in Serie A last season, the other is called Carl Medjani, played last season and was promoted to Ligue 1 last season. Ajaccio, Ajaccio has returned to France this season.

　　 It is said that the two people have a very good relationship with Li Shou. In three of the four matches, the two people stood in front of Li Shou. These three matches also won by three.

　　 "You can ask the agent to come to discuss the contract." This is the moment when you think of heaven and hell.

　　Although Benetti began to comfort other players, it was clear that Benetti did not comfort him at all. Those who did not get the contract could only quietly pack their things and find the next one.

　　 "Lee, Andre, have a dinner together to celebrate." The two-week trial has allowed several people to cultivate a good relationship, not to mention that the three have now received a positive answer from Monaco.

　　 For this invitation, Li Shou couldn’t ask for it. It’s not because he wanted to eat this meal. After all, Li Shou became a monk and didn’t understand a lot of things, so I can ask them for advice.
