With the full end of the 18th round of the league, Nantes overtook Monaco by 3 points, and Ganga also caught up, only 2 points behind Monaco, and the dispute over the top three suddenly became fierce.

The last round of the winter break is left, and the French League winter break is relatively long, with three weeks, so the 19th round of the league is related to whether Monaco can have a happy winter break.

The current situation is that the half-time champion is basically hopeless. Even if Nantes loses the game, the two teams will only be divided equally. Not to mention that Nantes' last game before the winter break, the opponent is not strong.

For Europeans and Americans, Christmas is the biggest festival of the year, but for a Chinese, Christmas is an ordinary day, and Li Shou himself has no habit of celebrating Christmas.

Although Li Shou has no habit of celebrating festivals, he is in Europe after all, and he knows that Li Shou is just alone, such as a few good teammates, such as Pellizaro, and the kind-hearted boss Li Qi who is far away in Paris.

Li Shou finally accepted Li Qi's invitation. Although Li Shou had a good relationship with Raji, Pellizaro and others, he was still a Chinese after all. Compared with these two, Li Shou naturally had to choose Li Qi of the same race as him.

If you want to have a happy Christmas and a relaxing winter break, then the 19th round of the league must not be missed. You must know that since being overtaken by Nantes, Ranieri's face has not been better.

Therefore, Monaco players were trembling in the training ground during this period, fearing that Ranieri would be criticized, but Li Shou was obviously not in this ranks.

First of all, Li Shou is just a substitute. With the complete elimination of the French League and French Cup, he has become a spectator and basically has no hope of making a appearance this season.

Secondly, Li Shou is the one who trains the hardest and most diligently in the whole team. Ranieri can criticize anyone, but it is impossible to criticize Li Shou.

In this way, Monaco ushered in his last opponent before the winter break. In the 19th round of the league, Monaco will go to the northwest of France to the away game Leon Poller Stadium.

Speaking of Le Mans, we have to mention one person, Ivorian Warcraft Didier Drogba, the center forward who is currently in conflict with Shanghai Shenhua due to wage arrears, has played for four and a half seasons at Le Mans.

Speaking of which, Le Mans and Monaco are still a bit of a difficult brother. Le Mans was promoted to Ligue 1 before, but in the 2009-10 season, the third-last player in the 2009-10 season, Monaco also came to French Ligue 2 with this ranking.

However, Le Mans's foundation is not as deep as Monaco, and it is not as lucky as Monaco. After entering the French Ligue 2, Le Mans is almost in a slump, and his performance this season is even more terrible.

In contrast, Monaco still aims to return to Ligue 1 and has ushered in Russian oligarchs this season. Although it has not invested much, Monaco's investment in this summer is still the best in French Ligue 2.

In France, Le Mans is just an ordinary small club, but for China, Le Mans is a little different because there is also a Chinese player in the Le Mans team.

Zhang Jiaqi, the first player in China to obtain a professional contract after training through the youth training system. Unlike Li Shou's wild path, he came to France through the country's regular channels.

However, Zhang Jiaqi's current situation is not good. He has never played in the first team after playing for four years at Le Mans, and he can't even see it on the bench.

Li Shou is still much better than Zhang Jiaqi in this regard. Although Li Shou has never been in the league, he often appears on the bench. Compared to Zhang Jiaqi playing in the midfield, he is more likely to get opportunities, and it is difficult for goalkeepers to get opportunities.

In fact, people in China know that there is a Chinese player in Monaco's lineup, but there is no media report. After all, no media is willing to report it, let alone Li Shou's wild path to become a monk halfway.

Of course, there is another very important reason why domestic media did not report it. The football world still regards strength as a substitute, and there is nothing worth reporting on as a substitute like Li Shou.

However, in this game, domestic reporters came to the scene. Although they knew it was impossible, they still had a little expectation in their hearts, but their expectations quickly turned into disappointment. Zhang Jiaqi did not appear in Le Mans' 18-man roster.

This is also the first time Li Shou has seen a fellow reporter. The attention of Ligue 1 is not as good as the previous four major leagues, not to mention Ligue 2. Generally speaking, there are only two or three kittens on the sidelines.

With limited personnel and resources, domestic journalists will definitely interview more valuable and interesting games, such as the matches of giant teams such as Paris Saint-Germain and Lyon.

"Has I attracted the attention of domestic media and fans in Monaco?" Li Shou was obviously thinking too much, and this guy obviously didn't expect that Le Mans is also a Chinese player.

Li Shou likes football, but even if he likes it, he can't pay attention to a French Ligue 2 team. Like most people, Li Shou also pays attention to teams like Lyon, Marseille, and Paris Saint-Germain, which often appears in the Champions League.

Li Shou's random thoughts had no effect on the game. After the referee's whistle sounded, the game officially began. As the last game before the winter break, there was no team that didn't want to usher in Christmas with victory, especially teams like Monaco and Le Mans urgently needed a winning game.

Le Mans, who played at home, took the lead in launching the offensive, but their first attack failed to complete the goal, and Monaco's defense tacitly created an offside trap.

Two minutes later, Monaco welcomed its first shot, and Valere German received a cross from Argentine genius Ocampos and shot high.

A minute later, Le Mans also created an offside trap for Toure Diamond, and then Le Mans also had his first shot in this game, but Somet's shot failed to threaten Subasic.

In the next ten minutes, the two sides launched a fierce attack, and Le Mans seemed to have regained the feeling of the former Ligue 1 team in this game.

But reality often gives you a blow when you perform better. In the 24th minute, Le Mans central defender fouled in the penalty area, and referee Tony Chaplen pointed to the penalty spot.

Carrasco took the penalty himself and helped Monaco take the lead away in one go. This goal was also the only goal in the entire first half.

But even if there was only one goal, the first half of the game was quite exciting, because the two sides played very openly in the following time, and the back and forth attacks were higher and higher.

This situation did not change after fifteen minutes of halftime break, and both sides seemed to be injected with blood, even though Monaco expanded the lead in one minute of the second half.

Monaco's lead seemed to stimulate Le Mans players, and the game started again and the Le Mans offensive became stronger, and he chased two goals in ten minutes to rewrite the score to 2:2.

This score also stimulated Ranieri on the sidelines. The Italian coach replaced two consecutively, and these two substitutions also helped Monaco achieve the final victory.

Revere made an assist in the 82nd minute, making a cross from the wing, Toure headed the defender in the penalty area and scored twice.

Le Mans, who was lagging behind again, was obviously unwilling to give up, and then made personnel adjustments. However, Li Shou would never have dreamed that this adjustment of Le Mans would actually make him debut in Monaco's league.

In the 88th minute, Belford, who came on as a substitute, collided with Subasic, and both of them were injured. Although they were not seriously injured, the game could no longer continue.

Li Shou was confused because he was ready to sit on the bench in the remaining leagues.

No. 1 replaced No. 1, No. 1 belongs to Subaci, and No. 11 is Li Shou's choice.
