I guessed the beginning of the story, but I didn't guess the sobbing ending - Afei.
Who has never had the fantasy of becoming famous with one goal in his heart? Even the goalkeeper who guards the goal is no exception.
In his mind and dreams, A Fei has also fantasized countless times about his debut in the league, like a hero in danger. However, reality was like a ruthless slap in the face, fiercely fanning his face.
Subasic collided fiercely with his opponent, and both of them were injured, but the opponent did not take advantage of it at all, and it was even worse than Monaco, because Monaco still had a valuable replacement quota, and the opponent's three replacement quotas had long been exhausted.
This means that Afei will have the opportunity to play as a substitute, while Le Mans has to face the difficult situation of missing one person to fight.
"If I remember correctly, this should be the first time that this Chinese goalkeeper has appeared in the league." Each city has its own TV station, such as Monte Carlo TV in Monaco.
In the last league game of this winter break, the TV station usually invites some special guests, who are often the former meritorious figures of the team. Just like this game, Monte Carlo invited France's former national goalkeeper, the legendary goalkeeper who has played for five seasons in Monaco - Fabian Bates.
Fabian Barths, the famous French goalkeeper, is like a shining star, shining in the 1998 World Cup and Euro 2000. He is the most honorable goalkeeper in French history and a well-deserved goalkeeper.
However, along with his brilliant honor, there is also his title of "butter hand". This skill, as if it were the ancestral secret recipe of the English goalkeeper, was vividly interpreted by Barts.
Even so, it cannot be concealed from the fact that Barts used to be an outstanding goalkeeper in world football, but now the goalkeeper has retired.
"Oh~~~ Fabian actually knows this Chinese goalkeeper", not to mention Barts, even those resident commentators know very little about Afei.
"Haha~~~ That's natural. Let me tell you a secret. This Chinese goalkeeper was brought back from Monaco by Mr. Catalano." Bartz's eyes slipped, and a sly smile appeared on his face, like a fox who stole a chicken.
"How is it possible? Why don't we have any news at all?" Seeing the surprise on their faces, Barts, who had achieved his purpose, couldn't help showing a smug look.
As a fan of Monaco, you must know the name. Because in the past two decades, the owner of the name has been like a magical magician, bringing one outstanding player after another to Monaco. It is no exaggeration to say that Monaco's brilliant achievements in the past two decades are largely due to him.
Therefore, the veteran scout who has played for the team for more than 20 years has won the respect of all Monaco fans. And the players he brought back seemed to have an innate advantage, because Monaco fans were convinced of the old scout's vision.
"And as far as I know, Mr. Catalano was found in an extremely amateur game." Naturally, Bartz could not specifically consult Afei's information. The reason why he knew was that he happened to have a phone call with Catalano before coming again.
After listening to Barts's words, the staff began to search for Afei's information as if they were facing a big enemy. However, it was regrettable that they only found out the probability of appearance in two cup games.
"Although the opponent's strength in the two cup matches is slightly inferior, this Chinese goalkeeper is still worthy of our expectations," the commentator's words undoubtedly gave Catarano enough face.
I'm afraid Afei never dreamed that he entered the sight of Monaco fans not because of his excellent performance, but because of the high reputation of the old scout in the hearts of fans.
On the court, the game has started again, and A Fei has already come back from a state of confusion. Although there were only five minutes left, A Fei still waited intently.
However, Le Mans did not give Afei the slightest opportunity to perform. Although they went all out, in the absence of major generals, Le Mans' efforts were like mantis and could not pose a substantial threat to Monaco's goal at all.
Counting the four minutes of overtime, Le Mans scored only one shot, and the shot was like an unbrided wild horse, out of the goal frame. In the face of the kick, Afei was like an unpredicted prophet and did not make any rescue action.
Le Mans failed to shake Monaco's goal, and Monaco did not take advantage of the momentum to increase the score. After all, compared with scoring goals, Ranieri is more eager to keep the lead of the goal. In the end, Ranieri is also the head coach of Italian descent, and the blood of defense and counterattack flows in his bones.
Therefore, in these five minutes, Monaco spent more time by passing back and forth. In the end, the score of 3:2 was maintained until the end of the game.
Nothingness, Afei's debut can be described as "nothingness". He played for five minutes, zero saves, and only one touch.
"Hello, I'm a reporter from China Football Weekly." In the mixed interview area after the game, the compatriot reporter finally found A Fei. After all, people have already arrived. It's really impossible not to interview. In addition, Afei has finished his debut at least. Although it is only five minutes and there is no construction, it is much better than Le Mans.
"Hello, I'm Afei!" A Fei greeted the compatriot warmly.
This is the first time in Afei's life that a reporter took the initiative to find him. In the previous cup game, not to mention the media, even there were few fans.
"First of all, congratulations on completing your league debut in Monaco!" The reporter said with a smile on his face.
"Thank you~~~" Although he only stood stupidly on the court for five minutes, after all, it was considered to have completed his debut, and it was also a good thing worth celebrating.
"What do you think about your debut show?" The reporter officially entered the question session.
"No feeling..." A Fei's answer was a little embarrassed, as if he had been poked by someone's weakness.
However, this is indeed A Fei's true inner feeling. After standing on the court for five minutes, except for kicking a goal, he was like a bystander and did nothing. In this case, what can he feel?
"Then say hello to the domestic fans!" The interview with A Fei is obviously just a temporary idea, and these problems are also put together on the spot, in order to have an explanation to the superiors.
For this question, A Fei couldn't help but feel a trace of doubt. He wanted to ask the compatriot in front of him, do any fans in China really know him?
"Hello, everyone. My name is Afei. I'm currently playing for Monaco and I'm a goalkeeper." A Fei's self-introduction was moderate, without the slightest wave.
"If possible, can I give you an exclusive interview?" When he said this, the reporter's face showed a little embarrassing look. I guess he also knew that his problems were too perfunctory.
"Let's forget it now..." A Fei refused without hesitation. He knew his weight in his heart, and he still knew it.
"How about this? If I can really ascend to the throne of Monaco's first time in the future, how about you give me an exclusive interview at that time?" However, A Fei didn't say too much. After all, it's rare for people like him to meet a reporter. And as far as A Fei knows, whether it is the club itself or the players, there are some familiar media reporters. They are like close comrades-in-arms, mutually beneficial and helping each other.
Now Afei is indeed just an unattended little player, but he will not be like this forever. Especially after half a season of training, Afei actually has the ability to compete for Monaco's No. 1 goalkeeper. All he lacks now is a chance.
