In the fierce battle with Arles, Monaco goalkeeper Subáci left the field again injured like a falling meteor at the last minute of the game. However, Afei failed to play this time, just because Monaco no longer has a replacement quota.
Under all the helplessness, Kagmacha was like a warrior who was ordered in danger. He resolutely put on the goalkeeper's gloves and made a temporary cameo appearance. Fortunately, with only about three minutes left in the game, Monaco is far ahead with a score of 2:0.
In the end, the score on the field did not change. Although Arles launched a crazy counterattack like a storm, Arles failed to change the situation on the field in the face of Monaco's full retreat like a copper wall and iron wall, and only three minutes of overtime left in the game.
Winning the game should have been an ecstatic thing. However, the injury of the main goalkeeper was like a cloud, covering this victory, especially since the second half of the league, Monaco has always been difficult to gain a real advantage.
However, this is undoubtedly great news for Afei and Surzak. Although this idea is a little immoral, the reality is so cruel, because Subasic's injury will be an opportunity for them to emerge.
Subasic's injury is actually not serious, and he can be cured within a month, but this month is as precious as a rare treasure for the substitute goalkeeper.
Under normal circumstances, substitute goalkeepers have little chance to show their skills. Only when the main goalkeeper is injured or the main goalkeeper performs badly can they be on stage.
"Afei~~ Don't look at me with that kind of sad eyes. I don't know that Daniel will be injured." Afei naturally won't think that Subasic's injury has nothing to do with Pelizaro, but all this happened too coincidentally, as if it was fate.
"What you need to do now is to go all out and strive for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" At present, the situation of the Monaco goalkeeper is like a fierce competition. Afei's ranking is smooth, obviously ahead of Surzak. However, after returning from the winter break, Afei has been sitting on the bench.
But this does not mean that Afei will be able to make a start during Subasic's injury. In the face of Surzac's competition, although Afei has an advantage in all aspects, it is not without weaknesses.
For example, up to now, it is not a friendly match. Afei's experience in the main game is only two games and two cup games. However, Afei's performance in these two games was still good, and he did not concede a goal. As for the five minutes of the debut, there is really no meaning to learn from.
"You don't have to practice for the next few days." Pelizaro didn't let Afei practice, but in fact, he thought about Afei. Although after half a season, A Fei was not injured by extra training, some things are often not afraid of 10,000 yuan, but just in case. Moreover, in the field of football, this probability is quite high.
Afei temporarily stopped training for the start, while Sulzac on the other side was also doing the last fight. In contrast, Surzac's situation is more difficult. Originally, in the competition for the No. 2 goalkeeper, he was already behind Afei. If he loses again this time, he will never come out in Monaco.
Therefore, in the next few days, Afei and Surzak went all out, and their performance was also well received by Ranieri. Because of this, Ranieri's heart became more and more hesitant.
In Ranieli's mind, in terms of personal ability alone, Afei is indeed better than Sulzak. However, competition and training are two things after all. Afei's near-zero experience really worries Ranieri.
Time flies, the pace of the game is getting closer and closer, and the entanglement in Ranieri's heart is getting heavier, as if it is entangled by tens of millions of spider silks, and it is difficult to break free. As a long-time and experienced head coach, Ranielli should not have been so hesitant.
Monaco's achievements were like a heavy mountain, which overwhelmed Ranieri's breath. If Monaco had a clear advantage in the standings, Ragneri might have made a decisive decision long ago. However, the actual situation does not allow a little slip, and a defeat may make competitors come first later.
In addition to the heavy pressure of the club's performance, there is also invisible pressure from the club's management. Although Monaco returned to the track of victory in the last round of the league, Nante and Guingamp were not willing to show weakness and defeated their respective opponents one after another.
The day before the game, Ranieri, who had never been able to make up his mind, invited two goalkeeper coaches to his office. Since you can't make a choice, let's leave it to professionals.
For the next half hour, fierce quarrels came from time to time in Ranieri's office, as if it were a war without smoke. And when the quarrel finally calmed down, Ranielli seemed to have found the answer.
"Tomorrow's starting goalkeeper~~~Afei!" Among the two goalkeeper coaches, Pelizaro and Amitla, Ranieri seems to trust his niniant more.
As Ranieri's words fell, Afei, like a dazzling star, became the focus of the team's attention for the first time. Although he has also started in the cup before, the cup and the league are two completely different concepts after all.
"Yes, sir!" Afei's heart was as excited as the magnificent sea, but his face was like a calm lake, without any waves. He knows that an excellent goalkeeper must always stay calm and steady.
"Afei~~~Congratulations!" Raj and Medjani rushed to congratulate Afei at the first time. At present, Raj is firmly in the position of the main player, guarding the team's right-back; Medjani is the first substitute.
Monaco's starting central defender's partners are like a copper wall and iron wall. They are Kagmacha and Wolf, but the German central defender is like a candle in the wind, with continuous minor injuries. Medjani is like a dark horse, gaining a large number of opportunities to play, as if foreshadowing tomorrow's game, and he will shine like a bright star in the starting lineup.
This may also be Ranieri's good intentions. Afei participated in the team's trial training with Raj and Medjani. Now their relationship in the team is like brothers, so Medjani's appearance seems to inject a strong boost into Afei to some extent.
Envy, jealousy and unwillingness surged into Sulzak's heart like a tide. When Ranielli pronounced Afei's name, his heart seemed to be gnawed by tens of millions of ants. But this is football, realistic and cruel, like the ruthless storm, which makes people unable to avoid it.
Leaving the tactical room, Afei caught a glimpse of Pelizaro. Compared with the young Amitra, Pelizaro's workload in the club was like a trickle, which is also the reason why he was able to help Afei train. In the past half a year, I'm afraid that people who don't know will mistakenly think that Pelizaro is Afei's exclusive personal trainer.
"Afei, don't think too much. Go back and have a good sleep. Tomorrow, you just need to bloom the style you showed on the training ground like the blooming flowers." Although in Ranieri's office, Pelizaro fought for Afei, but after fighting for the opportunity, Pelizaro's heart rippled with worry.
In the end, Pelizaro and Ranieri have the same worries. Afei's lack of experience is like a thin layer of ice, which will break if he is careless. But Pelizaro is also well aware that today's Afei is like a chick waiting to be fed, and it urgently needs to plump its wings through the experience of competition.
As Afei's "guider", Pelizaro knows that in recent months, Afei's progress has been like a snail crawling, far from being as fast and remarkable as at the beginning. As a goalkeeper coach who has experienced hundreds of battles, Pelizaro is even more insightfout and knows what Afei's current situation is.
The game is like a catalyst for Afei's growth, and a truly outstanding player needs to shine on the stage of the game, especially the goalkeeper. In the vast history of football, how many top goalkeepers have been buried on the bench? It is true that the growth of goalkeepers requires time and experience, but they need to forge ahead in the baptism of the game.
In the eyes of many people, Afei may still be as young as the rising sun, but in the eyes of Pelizaro, who is familiar with Afei, Afei is like a chick waiting to be fed at this moment, and urgently needs the nourishment and exercise of the competition.
