After defeating Reims, the third round of the French League Cup came as promised. Afei thought to himself that with his excellent performance in the last game, he should be able to qualify as a starter in the French League Cup again.
However, things didn't go as he wanted. After all, Afei's idea was just wishful thinking, because the person who really made the decision was Ranieri. From Ranieri's formation, Afei has roughly guessed the result - fair competition, one game per person.
As the saying goes, "there is only progress through competition", Afei and Surzac are both young players, and this kind of healthy competition helps them grow together. In fact, from the moment the team reassembled, it had begun to emerge.
Thanks to Afei's encouragement, Sulzak has made rapid progress compared with before. Even if he lost the game in the next league cup, Sulzak's performance is still remarkable.
Now, Afei's mentality has been adjusted, and he has also got along very well with the door god system, and he is no longer suffering from gains and losses as before. However, Afei is still dissatisfied with the team's elimination in the third round.
According to the normal development trajectory, if Monaco can successfully break into the 16, he will get another chance to start. A start means that he can participate in two games.
Unfortunately, with Monaco's exit in the French League Cup, if Afei wants to start again, he can only wait until the French Cup starts. According to the competition system of the French Cup, it will not be held until mid-November.
As for the league, it is difficult for Afei and Surzac to get the opportunity to play if Subazic is not injured. However, compared with Surzak, who can only stare, Afei's situation is much better.
Time is like an endless river, which will not stagnate because of anyone, and the league will not change at all. Therefore, since the elimination of the French League Cup, Monaco has quickly turned their eyes back to the league.
In the ninth round, Monaco played against Ajaccio at home. Although Monaco, who played at home, was determined to win and wanted to get three points, the opponent did not give in. In the end, the two sides fought fiercely to 2:2.
In the past four rounds, Monaco's record has dropped sharply like a free fall, with only one win, two draws and one loss in four games. However, Monaco's road to a draw is not over. In the tenth round, they again won the third draw of nearly five rounds.
It is still at home. The opponent in this round is Chatorous. When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, the score on the court was still like the sleeping lake, still 0:0.
It is also because of the recent poor record that the attendance rate of the Louis II Stadium has fallen further like a broken kite. In the first five rounds, the average on-supation rate of the Louis II Stadium was still about 6,000, but in recent games, it has plummeted to more than 4,000 people.
Although Monaco is still at the top of the table, it is only 3 points behind Nantes, which is in second place. If Ranieri can't take a timely response, maybe the top of the table will be like that boiled duck, flying away.
However, even if Ranieri had to adjust, it would be impossible to move the position of goalkeeper. Although Afei is now aware that he is not inferior to Subasic, and even better in some aspects.
For example, in terms of reaction, Afei has now gradually adapted to the rising sun, and without restrictions, he has made remarkable progress in some aspects, such as bounce, speed, and the crucial reaction to the goalkeeper, especially the reaction, which has now become the most dazzling of Afei's attributes.
What does it mean to react quickly?
Taking the above game as an example, Monaco scored the second goal with Ajacsio. If it had been Afei who defended the goal at that time, he would have been fully confident that Ajacko's shot would have been rejected. Although the opponent's footing is quite vague, its angle is really difficult to say good. Afina's reaction speed of up to 18 is enough to cope.
At this point, Afei has proved himself in the simulation game. In the game that Monaco lost to Allefor, Afei kept the goal with a world-class save in the simulation game. Although they still failed to beat Allefer in the simulation match, Monaco did not lose the game.
Since the start of the simulation match, Afei's progress has been obvious to all. Not only the players and coaches of Monaco know this, but also Afei himself is deeply touched.
In the past, when faced with numerous shots, Afei was unable to save at all. But recently, A Fei felt confident that he was confident to keep it out of any kind of shooting.
However, Afei's self-feeling didn't help, and Ranieri still lacked trust in him. The head teacher doesn't like the Chinese players in his heart. Even if he can see Afei's efforts, he will be recognized by him.
Besides, this season is very important to Ranieri, which is related to his own future and money. He will never take risks easily, even if there is only a slight risk.
After the tenth round, the International Competition Day came again, which just gave Rañelli time to adjust. Due to his recent poor record, Ranieri only gave the players one day off.
The holiday is not very attractive to today's Afei. Firstly, he cherishes this opportunity very much; secondly, he has nowhere to go during the holiday, and at most he can only play games at home.
Although most of the Monaco team are young people, the closest relationship with Afei is Raj and Medjani. Although the other players don't get along well, they don't get along well. As for going out together in private, it is even more impossible.
Not to mention, A Fei himself is as boring as a pool of stagnt water. It's hard to get such an opportunity. In ordinary days, he has no pastime except for training hard.
Therefore, in the eyes of most teammates, A Fei did work hard, but it was also really boring, and A Fei's behavior made many people sneer at him. Everyone was young. We went back to rest after training, but you practiced alone there. What on earth is this?
Do you want everyone to feel that you are the only one working hard?
Raj and Medjani had talked to Afei about this matter, but Afei ignored it. In Afei's mind, fun can wait until the future, when you really have strong enough strength, or even when you become famous in the future, why should you be in a hurry?
As teammates who have a good relationship with Afei, in fact, Raj and Medjani also know Afei's situation and cherish everything in the present, so they can understand, but this does not mean that everyone can understand.
Ten days of training is like sweets for Afei, and other players can only work hard because they are unable to resist. Of course, no player is willing to stay in the French Second Division all the time, especially most of the players in the Monaco team are young and vigorous young men.
As the saying goes, young players are particularly outstanding in this regard. They have momentum and ambition. They are not willing to spent on the years in the French Second Division. They are determined to rush to the first division, eager to step into the intercontinental area, and hope to attract the attention of the rich.
What does the rich family mean?
It means the dream pursuit of players, fame and profit.
Once you join a rich family, you will gain a reputation like a carp leaping over the Dragon Gate, which means that you will be among the top of the world's football world. While being famous, you will also reap a richer income. From then on, you will become a lot of money, and you don't even have to worry about the second half of your life.
In an instant, the international competition day has passed, and the league war is burning again. Monaco, who has been full of energy, also announced its strength and eagerness for promotion to the world with a hearty victory.
When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the score on the court was finally fixed at 3:0.
