"2:0~~~ It's still 2:0. Recently, Monaco's four rounds have all end perfectly with a score of 2:0." From the 23rd round of Monaco's victory over Arles to the 26th round of the victory over Lens, this magical record seems to be a dream journey.
"Perhaps our goalkeeper from the ancient country of the East has some mysterious magic attached to it," Bar attributed all the credit to Afei.
Although Afei's performance in the game against Lance was not as dazzling as in the previous two games, he still stuck to the goal like the Great Wall of Steel, maintaining an amazing scoreless record and an exaggerated save success rate.
"As far as I know, there are only two years left in Afei's contract with the team, and it's still a trivial contract," Polk's eyes have begun to turn to the distant future.
In these three starting games, Afei proved to everyone with his excellent performance that he was an unparalleled goalkeeper. He was fully qualified to stand in front of Monaco's goal, and compared with Subáci, his future was more like a bright star, full of endless expectations.
In these three fierce battles, Monaco's opponents are by no means idle, especially Dijon and Lens, one team that can pose a threat to the first group, and the other is the former French League powerhouse that has been relegated with Monaco.
"According to the reliable information I got, it seems that the team has already coveted our young goalkeeper," Barr's words are by no means nonsense. Afei's amazing performance in these three games has indeed attracted the attention of some clubs.
In fact, there have already been several mysterious figures in the stands that have just finished the game. They are like hunters, lurking quietly, just to observe Afei's every move. However, these clubs did not act rashly at the moment. They were waiting patiently, waiting for the return of Subasic and watching Ranieri's choice. After all, no player will willingly sit on the bench after tasting the taste of starting, especially in the position of goalkeeper.
In other positions, if there is a player who can perform so well in three games like Afei, his playing rate will definitely increase significantly. However, the goalkeeper's position is different from other positions. Under normal circumstances, goalkeepers are rarely replaced, let alone rotated.
Therefore, other teams are paying close attention to Ranieri's choice. If Subasic returns to the starting lineup after returning from injury, it will undoubtedly arouse Afei's dissatisfaction. After all, Afei has performed quite well in these three games, and he is fully qualified to continue to be the starting goalkeeper.
And other teams have seen this point. They are ready to take action at the right time and use the opportunity to start to lure Afei to join. After all, for a young and talented goalkeeper, it is very important to get more opportunities to play.
In fact, Monaco is also clear that other teams have become interested in Afei. In the past, Monaco may not care too much, because there are other excellent goalkeepers to choose from in their team. However, after these three games, Afei showed amazing talent and strength, and Monaco began to admire him and realized his potential and value.
After all, Afei is only 20 years old. With such an excellent performance at this age, his future is definitely worth looking forward to. Naturally, the Monaco club will not easily give up such a player with unlimited potential.
As expected, the truth is as expected. The day after the game against Lens, Monaco's management acted quickly. They first dialed Catalano's phone and had an in-depth exchange with the coach of the team to understand the specific situation of Afei in the game and his potential and development prospects.
Then, the management convened two key figures, Ranieri and Pelizaro, to hold an important meeting. At this meeting, they made a comprehensive evaluation of Afei's performance and had a heated discussion on how to further cultivate and give full play to his talents.
This is the reality of the football world. Strength and talent are the key factors that determine everything. Before going through these three games, in the eyes of both the management and the fans, Afei was just an unknown little transparent. However, now he has successfully attracted everyone's attention with his strength and talent, and even held a small meeting specially for him by the club.
As for the final result of this meeting, no one knows yet. And Afei himself is even more unaware of this. At the moment, he is being troubled by another thing - the return of Subasic.
A Fei knew very well that his performance was quite excellent, but he was not fully sure whether such a performance could attract the attention of the club.
Just as Afei was thinking to herself, Shamari suddenly said, "In fact, I don't think you need to think too much at all!" After a few days of living together, Shamari became more and more casual in front of Afei, and even a little indulgent. And as the mutual understanding gradually deepened, A Fei was surprised to find that Sha Mary was actually a female hooligan!
"What do you mean?" A Fei asked doubtfully.
Although Shamari is only two years older than Afei, she has been influenced by the environment since she was a child and has unique insights and talents for the profession of broker. Coupled with her relationship with Mendes and her extensive connections, these have laid a solid foundation for her to become an excellent agent.
And Mendes must have known the relationship between Afei and Shamari at the first time. This also made Mendes have a strong interest in Afei. After all, before that, Shamari had been very resistant to becoming an agent.
Being able to become a broker, Mendes's vision is naturally very unique. He has been in the football world for many years and has seen countless talented players, so it is very likely that he has discovered the talent of A Fei, and even the potential great value of A Fei.
However, talent does not represent everything. In his life, Mendes has witnessed too many talented players fail to succeed in the end. As for the value, it can only be reflected after Afei really shows his strength and kicks his achievements.
However, this does not affect Mendes's help to Afei. Perhaps he did this more to help his daughter. Since his daughter is interested in Afei, as a father, he should naturally give him proper guidance and support.
In this way, in just a few days, many teams have learned that Sha Mary has become Afei's agent. In this matter, Shamari also thought of using her father's network. The father and daughter inadvertently formed a tacit understanding. Isn't it a simple thing?"
Shamari said with a relaxed face, as if it was not a problem at all, "If Monaco values you, they will definitely take the initiative to come to us. After all, you are one of the core players of the team! But if they don't value you, then we don't need to waste time there. Just choose to leave. With your excellent performance in these games, I believe that other teams will be willing to give you a chance.
Sha Mary's words made A Fei suddenly realize that he couldn't help but feel that he was a little too anxious before. Yes, he is no longer the obscure little transparent three weeks ago. His performance on the court has attracted a lot of attention.
"Well, it seems to be the truth..." A Fei muttered, and his thinking finally began to turn around.
"Of course, if necessary, we can also build momentum for ourselves!" Sha Mary suddenly said again, with a trace of slyness flashing in her eyes.
"Creating momentum?" Afei was a little unfamiliar with the word. He looked at Shamari doubtfully, as if waiting for her further explanation.
"Yes, it is to improve your popularity and influence in various ways." Shamari explained, "For example, I can use my father's relationship to promote you through the media. In this way, more people will know you and pay attention to your performance, and more teams will be interested in you.
"Hmm? Don't you hate your father?" Afei asked with some surprise. He remembered that Shamari once said that she was dissatisfied with her father.
"When did I say that I hate my father?" Shamari glared at Afei, "I just hate that he always arranges my future life and doesn't respect my ideas. But in fact, I still admire my father in my heart. He is a very influential figure in the football world!"
"Let's forget it," A Fei shook his head and said firmly, "I prefer to rely on myself rather than rely on others."
Seeing this, Shamari smiled slightly and explained, "Sometimes, the resources that should be used should be used. After all, it's not for nothing. However, I don't think it's the right time. No matter how hard the French Second League is, it's hard to make any big waves.
Shamari's appearance seems to be a little big-breasted, but in fact, she is a very smart woman. Moreover, because she grew up with Mendes since she was a child and was taught by him, she has her own unique views and considerations on all kinds of things in the football world.
During this period, Shamari has been eating and drinking with Afei, but in fact, from the moment she signed the contract with Afei, she has begun to seriously think about Afei's career plan.
After dispelling his worries, Afei focused his attention on the training ground again. No matter what choice Ranieri would make in a few days, Afei decided to do what he should do first and leave no regrets for himself.
Afei's mentality also makes Pelizaro, who is secretly observing, happy and even a little proud, because ordinary young people definitely don't have the mentality of Afei.
His teammates admire that Afei can still focus on training so much. Through these three games, Afei's relationship with his teammates has made great progress.
"Afei, aren't you worried at all?" The team's main central defender, Kagmacha, couldn't help asking.
"Worried? Dude, do you think it's useful for me to worry? Will Mr. Ranieri let me start because of my concern?" A Fei shrugged his shoulders.
"Awesome," Kagmacha gave Afei a thumbs up and said.
"In fact, I just understand that this is the reality," A Fei spread his hands and said.
