Subasic's injury was like a bombshell, which caused a stir in the hearts of Monaco fans and the local media in Monaco. The media and fans were even more heatedly arguing about the candidate for the next starting goalkeeper.
Although Afei has been sitting firmly on Monaco's bench recently, there are still many fans who support Sulzac. After all, Afei was brought back by Catalano, while Sulzac is from the Monaco youth training.
Therefore, in terms of emotional balance, Monaco fans are more inclined to Surzac, but the media is contrary to the fans' ideas. For the media, Sulzac is like their old acquaintances and knows the bottom of it, while they know very little about Afei.
The reason for this situation is that in addition to Afei, who has only joined the team this season and has made few appearances, is also the media's own concern. Since Monaco's relegation, the media's attention to the team has decreased sharply like the seawater of the tide. Even if the team changes the owner this season, it has not made much waves. How can it pay attention to an unknown goalkeeper?
Even now, the local media in Monaco still care very little about the team, and only the Monaco Weekly and Monte Carlo occasionally report some news about Monaco. The former and Monaco have a cooperative relationship. This cooperative relationship has been around for a long time. Monte Carlo has been responsible for the live broadcast of Monaco's games, but that's it. They won't give more attention to Afei.
However, at this moment, they had to turn their eyes to Afei, because Afei was about to become Monaco's starting goalkeeper in the next game, like a shining star, about to be in the center of the stage.
"In the last fierce battle before the winter break, the goalkeeper, known as Afei, made his gorgeous debut in the league," Monte Carlo TV commentator Batites Polank introduced passionately.
"Yes, at that time, we learned from Fabian that the goalkeeper from China was discovered by Mr. Cattalano and brought to Monaco," another commentator, Martin Barr, couldn't wait to continue.
Since Monaco was relegated, these two have entered the sight of Monaco fans like two dazzling stars. In the past two seasons, they have been talking on the commentary stage, and the original commentator has already been transferred to explain other Ligue 1 games. This is the cruel reality of the football world.
"After learning that the goalkeeper was discovered by Mr. Catalano and brought to Monaco, we were shocked and immediately sent someone to interview Mr. Catalano." The conversation between the two people was like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, which immediately attracted the high attention of fans in front of the TV.
"Oh~~~ The players are shining, let's witness the team's starting lineup." However, at this critical moment, the two changed the topic at the right time like cunning rabbits.
"Damn it, if I hadn't been worried that no one would explain it, I would have rushed over and beaten these two bastards like a volcanic eruption." This is a mantra that Monaco fans often talk about before TV.
"The biggest variable in Monaco's starting lineup is undoubtedly the goalkeeper. As we all know, the main goalkeeper Subasic was unfortunately injured in the last round of the game and will be away from the court for up to three weeks.
Goalkeeper: Afei, like an indestructible barrier, guards the team's goal.
Defenders: Chavilas, Kagmacha, Medjani, Raj, they are like the Great Wall of Steel, closely guarding the team's defense.
Midfielders: Carrasco, Ndinga, Polson, Dilar, they are just like agile dancers, dancing in the midfield and controlling the rhythm of the game.
Strikers: German and Ocampos, they are like sharp arrows, ready to break through the opponent's defense line at any time and pull out the fortress for the team.
"Let's wait and see if this Chinese goalkeeper is really a talented genius as Mr. Catalano said?" In fact, Catalano's original words are as follows: "Afei is a unparted and persevering player, and according to what I learned from the coaching staff, Afei's talent is also outstanding."
In Catalano's eyes, Afei, who has not received orthodox training, was able to practice the rescue action so standardly, which is undoubtedly his effort beyond ordinary people. Moreover, this effort was completed without conditions. As for talent, although Catalano often observes the players outside, he cares about Afei every time he comes back.
A Fei didn't know that he had been given the reputation of "genius", and he had no interest in learning about it at the moment. For the current Afei, the next game is the top priority.
Thanks to the start of this game, Afei received unprecedented attention. When preparing before the game, almost all his teammates came to cheer for Afei, and even Ranieri told Afei not to be nervous.
It is undeniable that the encouragement of these teammates is out of goodwill, but it is more about the uneasyness of Afei. Even Ranieri doubted whether his decision was correct at a moment.
As for A Fei himself, although he was a little nervous, he was more full of expectations. He is eager to prove himself and announce to the world that he is qualified to start the team and that he is qualified to stand on the court.
This is not that A Fei is complacent, but that he knows that he is indeed qualified. Because in the recent simulation games, he has always maintained a record of zero goals conceded. With the recent excellent performance, the system has officially informed Afei that the simulation competition will be officially closed soon.
What does this mean? This means that Afei has proved his strength with practical actions, and he is ready to meet the real challenge. It shows that Afei has almost adapted to it, and the system also said that now the simulation competition has little impact on Afei, and Afei can only make progress through the real competition.
In fact, not only Pelizaro felt that Afei's progress was slow, but Afei himself felt that his recent progress was very small, which was also directly reflected in the data given by the system.
If Afei's current data is put into the game, it is definitely a first-class goalkeeper, or even a top goalkeeper, but some things can't really be expressed with data.
A Fei has come to his goal with no expression on his face, but his eyes seem to be twinkling with something.
On the green field, the referee Morela sounded the horn of the beginning of the game like a majestic commander. Monaco, who had the opening ball, was like a tiger, immediately showing the hegemony of the home field.
Germain passed the ball to Ocampos like a meteor, and the Argentine passed it back to Ndinga like a flexible elf. After the formation of both sides was pulled open like an unfolded scroll, the latter rushed in like a lightning bolt and sent a long pass. Germain was like a towering mountain peak, pressing Tulei hard and giving the ball to the side road like a horse.
Dilar, who received the pass, did not choose to continue to gallop on the sidelines. Like a cunning hunter, he chose to hit Le Havre's defense line inside to attract the attention of the defensive players, and then, like an artist, he crossed Ocampus.
After receiving the pass, the Argentine wanted to shoot himself like an arrow off the string, but German's timely shout was like a thunderbolt, which made Ocampos change his mind. Although the number of Argentine geniuses has made a lot of appearances, they have not firmly sat on the throne of the main team.
At present, on the front line of Monaco, Germain is like a fixed Neptus needle, which is a stable goal point, and the position is as solid as a rock. Carrasco and Dilar on both sides are also like two sharp swords, performing well. In this case, he can only compete with Tulei for a position like a grass seeking survival in the cracks. Compared with Ture, the tactical role of Argentine genius is like the stars in the night sky, which is not obvious.
Turey is a center forward, like an iron tower, tall and strong, and his tactical role in the team is as obvious as a lighthouse. If it weren't for the goal-scoring ability like the sunset in the twilight, maybe there would be nothing wrong with Ocampos.
"Oh~~~ Ocampos passed the ball~~~ Monaco's chance, Germain received a pass from Ocampos, and only Le Havre's goalkeeper was left in front of him, like a lamb to be slaughtered."
"The ball scored~~~ Perfect start. Only one minute after the start of the game, Monaco pierced Le Havre's goal like a sharp sword."
"Germain~~~ The first record for the team is Valere Germain. He is like the patron of the team. He has become the most stable member of Monaco's front line this season and the player with the most goals in the Monaco team."
