Football: The Hand that Covers the Sky

　　 Arnold Catalano.

The name 　　 is very unfamiliar to Li Shou, but it has a lot of fame for the entire French football, because the legendary French striker Thierry Henry was discovered by this old man and brought to Monaco.

This is undoubtedly a brilliant achievement in Arnold Catalano’s scouting career, but it is not all. The subsequent transfer of Trezeguet also featured him. During his more than 20 years of playing in Monaco, he Bring one talent after another to the team.

　　 Scouts can discover a player’s talents, but a player wants to truly grow and become an outstanding player requires his own efforts.

　　 Li Shou has never heard of Arnold Catalano, but he must know that Monaco, located in the south of France, is one of the four principalities in Europe and the second smallest country in the world, with a total area of ​​only 1.98 square kilometers.

　　 Although it is small, Monaco has amazing wealth. It is the richest country in the world and one of the world’s four major casinos. It can be called the most extravagant country in the world.

　　 But for Li Shou, it is not this rich country that attracts him, let alone the so-called gambling city. It is the team named after this country, the Monaco Football Club.

　　 “This is my honour,” Li Shou, who reacted, stretched out his hand and said.

　　 Although Monaco is independent of France, the Monaco team has always been a French league team, and it has this pivotal position in Ligue 1.

However, this team that has a pivotal position in Ligue 1 has had a very bad time. At the end of the 10-11 season, Monaco disappeared in Ligue 1 and relegated to the second division. This is also the first time that Monaco was relegated again after 33 years. .

　　 Although the Monaco royal family is rich, in fact the royal family does not pay for the club. This is also the reason for the tragedy of Monaco.

　　 The sinking of the strong team is a very embarrassing thing, but the ordeal of Monaco is not over. In the 11-12 season, Monaco, who tried to return to Ligue 1, failed to complete the redemption.

　　 The inability to return to Ligue 1 also made the owner of the club, Prince Albert of the Monaco royal family, disheartened. At this moment, a Russian businessman approached Prince Albert.

　　 Finally, on the first day after the end of the season, Monaco ushered in a new life. Russian businessman Dimitri Rybolovlev officially entered the team and became the new owner of Monaco.

　　 This is another typical Russian oligarch. With the success of Abramovich, Russian oligarchs have entered the ranks of sports.

　　 And the first day the Russian oligarch moved to Monaco brought a brand new head coach to the team, the Italian “tinker” Claudio Ranieri.

　　 This also allows Monaco fans to see the determination of the Russian oligarch to lead Monaco to rise again, because in the current situation in Monaco, Ranieri is undoubtedly the most suitable coach.

　　 This can be seen from the title of Ranieri. Although this title is full of irony, on the other hand, it is not an affirmation of Ranieri’s ability.

　　 The Russian oligarchs are rich, but as far as Monaco is concerned, even if the Russian oligarchs brandish the ruble, they cannot buy outstanding players.

　　 Not to mention that this Russian oligarch is not willing to be taken advantage of. He is willing to invest money, but there is a premise that this player is worth his money.

　　Ligue 1 is ranked in the top five leagues, but it is at the end of the top five leagues. Its impact cannot be compared with the previous leagues. Moreover, Monaco is still in the French second, so Monaco’s signings are not smooth.

　　Perhaps, when Monaco returns to Ligue 1, the Russian oligarch’s “rube” can bring a group of outstanding players, but now Monaco can only rely on Ranieri as the coach.

　　 But this is good news for some players, such as Li Shou. Catalano came to Paris to investigate the elimination of Paris Saint-Germain and young players, but he saw Li Shou.

　　 One day later, with the blessings of the boss and bar guests, Li Shou followed Arnold Catalano on the train to Monaco.

　　 The most common way to travel in Europe is to drive by yourself, then by train, and finally by plane. It takes more than ten hours from Paris and Monaco, which is a relatively long time for the average person.

　　 Lying on the train, Li Shou took out the magical pair of broken gloves again. The reason for coming to Europe impulsively was because of these gloves. The success this time depends on them.

After research over the past time, Li Shou has a very clear understanding of gloves. The first function of gloves is concentration. When he wears these gloves, his attention on the court is Always concentrated.

This is very important for a player, especially a goalkeeper. The goal in the game is only a moment, and the goalkeeper’s slight distraction is a fatal blow, because the goalkeeper not only has to deal with the opponent’s shot, but also consider the teammate’s mistakes. ~www.wuxiax.com~ So if you want to be an excellent goalkeeper, you must keep your attention all the time and be alert to what can happen during the game.

　　 The second function is the rules of the save action. Li Shou is playing wild ball without professional training. At most, he is playing with a few friends who also love football. This is also the reason why Li Shou’s data is messed up.

　　 When Li Shou puts on the gloves, his save action will become standardized. In the nearly one year since he obtained the gloves, his save action has become more and more standardized with the help of the gloves.

Before getting the gloves, Li Shou was not a qualified goalkeeper. After getting the gloves, Li Shou slowly became a real goalkeeper. One of the reasons why Catalano invited Li Shou was Li Shou’s save. The action is very standardized.

　　 For this reason, Catalano also asked Li Shou, and when he got the answer, Catalano was surprised, because Li Shou told the old scout that he had not received formal training.

This old scout not only has a pair of eyes to see the talents of the players, but also a kind old man. After getting on the train, he talked a lot about the trial training, and also comforted Li Shou, saying that Li Shou could play the previous game. The level of the game can definitely get a good result.

The third function of the 　　 glove is to change the physical fitness. In the nearly one year since he received it, Li Shou found that his physical fitness had undergone tremendous changes.

　　 The most obvious change is height. The 19-year-old Li Shou is only 180 in height, but after obtaining these gloves, he has grown 7 cm to 187 in just one year.

　　 Although this is not high among goalkeepers, it has reached the height of a real goalkeeper, not to mention that the gloves change not only the height, but also the physical fitness of the whole person.
