When Oglio was replaced, the score on the field was already 2:0. Towards the end of the first half, Dijon, which had not been able to conquer for a long time, was seized by Monaco.
The ball under Molett's feet was cut off like a broken kite. Monaco took advantage of the momentum to launch a wave of tide-like counterattack. Dinggom sent a long pass like a cannonball. Germann headed the ball back, and Carast inserted it from the sideline like a cheetah, breaking the goal with a single knife.
Near the end of the first half, the score was further expanded by Monaco, which was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Dijon. After the beginning of the second half, Ranieri made another move to "steal the beam and replace the pillar".
Dijon has always been good at counterattacking, but in the situation of the team's 2:0 lead, Ranieri still treats himself in the same way, which makes Dijon feel like sitting on a needle felt.
In addition, after the team's offensive initiator, Molette, was hit by Afei, he was in a state like a deflated ball. It fell a thousand feet, and the second half of Dijon's game was simply difficult. In this case, if Oglio doesn't want to lose the game so easily, he must make a replacement adjustment.
Dijon, which is currently in the second group, is not without the opportunity to launch a strong impact on the top three. There are still thirteen rounds left in the league, and there is still a good opportunity to directly confront competitors.
Changing people, changing people again and again, the reluctant Oglio used up three replacement quotas in just ten minutes. However, these three people could not change Dijon's decadenence on the field.
Especially in the case of Ranieri's iron defense, in the past ten minutes, Monaco was like having his muscles and bones taken away. He actually used up two replacement quotas, and the replacements were all defensive giants.
Monaco, which has retreated in a full way, is like a copper wall and an iron wall, making it difficult for Afei to have a chance to show off again. After all, Dijon can no longer fight back, and the opportunity to really threaten Monaco is like a handful.
Dijon's tactics this season are like a layer of tulle, relying too much on the striker Jovial. Once targeted by the opponent, it is like falling into a quagmire, and it is difficult to launch any more threatening attacks.
Not to mention that it is the demon Afei who is guarding the Monaco goal at this moment. This guy not only has a wide vision like a hawk's eye, but also reacts as fast as lightning. However, the most terrible thing is his rock-like concentration.
Even if Dijon did not threaten Monaco's goal much in the second half, Afei was still absorbed, like a sculpture. With only a few shots, all of them were saved by him like a hungry tiger, keeping the goal intact.
"If I remember correctly, Afei's save success rate is still 100%." When the game was about to end, Polank looked at the data in his hand and marveled. A Fei proved to us that he was indeed an outstanding goalkeeper. Although A Fei's save in this game was not as much as the last game, the number of his attacks was far higher than the last one, and every attack was like a dragon out to sea, successfully completing the siege.
"Seeing Afei's performance, I'm afraid Daniel will be like sitting on a needle felt." The fact is indeed the same. Subasic is really a little restless at this moment. In these two games, Afei has initially shown his shocking personal ability.
However, even if Subasic has thorns on his buttocks, he has to sit honestly for another week, which means that Afei still has at least one chance to start. As for Sulzak, after these two games, I'm afraid Ranielli won't give him any more chances.
Monaco, which retreated completely, was like an injured lion and did not further increase the score. When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Monaco ushered in the third three consecutive wins of the season, and also extended the advantage of the standings to 5 points.
This 5-point advantage, like an insurmountable mountain, is the biggest difference between Monaco and second place so far this season. At the beginning of the league, Monaco had a great record, but Nante did not give up much. In the mid-term, Monaco's record declined, and Nantes took the opportunity to overtake and finally took the top position of Monaco.
This situation continued until the beginning of the second half of the season. Nante's record fell dramatically. Although Guingamp played a small climax, he fell too far behind in the early stage, and Monaco regained the initiative.
This wave of three consecutive wins, like a spring breeze, completely changed the atmosphere in the Monaco team. Ranieri no longer had a stout face, and the players could finally feel relieved and relaxed on the training ground.
At the same time, Afei was finally recognized by fans and the media. After defeating the powerful enemy of Dijon, Afei once again became the focus of the media, and this time, the media praised Afei himself, not just for bringing him to Catarano in Monaco.
In these two games, Afei's appearance was like a sea god needle, which not only firmly defended Monaco's goal, but also made Monaco's defense line rock-solid. This point is proved by data. Because of this, the media's evaluation of Afei has become higher.
In fact, not only the media, but also the Monaco coaching team has insight into this problem, and compared with the media, the data of the coaching team is more detailed and intuitive, like a clear picture in front of us.
This really put Rañelli in a dilemma. In a week, Subasic will return. If Afei's performance is still so amazing, how should the starting goalkeeper be chosen after Subasic's return?
In fact, deep down in Ranielli's heart, he still prefers Subasic. Afei's performance in these two games is indeed remarkable. However, who can guarantee that Afei can maintain such an excellent form? Subasic is different. The past season has fully proved that he is a stable goalkeeper, like an indestructible fortress.
In addition, Ranielli always had a doubt in his mind, that is, whether Afei deliberately took risks in the game. Although Pelizaro defended the game against Le Havre, when Ranieri himself reviewed the game after the game, the corners of Afei's mouth did rise slightly, as if he was secretly proud.
In the match against Dijon, Ranieri learned from Wolf that it was not that he did not want to defend Molet at that time, but that Afei directed him to defend Joviar with Kagmacha. No head coach would like an adventurous goalkeeper, especially this head coach is also an Italian coach, like a rigorous craftsman who requires perfect detail in every detail.
Rañelli did not ask Pelizaro again. Although Pelizaro was his confidant, Ranieri also knew that Pelizaro had an extraordinary relationship with Afei's teachers and students. His confidant valued Afei very much, because Pelizaro was already considering retirement.
At the same time, Ranieri will not be beaten to death with one stick. Through these two games, Ranieri had to admit that Afei was a talented young man, like a bright star, shining with a unique light on the court. For such a talented and hard-working young man, Ranieri said that it was absolutely impossible not to appreciate it.
Yes, the two games are like two golden keys, which completely changed Ranieri's position. Previously, although Ranieri approved A Fei's efforts, he still underestimated A Fei in his heart, just because A Fei came from the East, which was regarded as a weak football country.
However, Afei's excellent performance in the two games, like the bright stars in the night sky, not only won the praise of the media, but also won the hearts of fans, completely changing Ranieri's view of him, and also like a spring breeze, attracting the attention of some clubs, thus winning the favor of the management.
How could the management mind giving him a brand-new contract for such an excellent young man? Today, Monaco is rich, and Afei's contract with Monaco is only three years, and nearly a year has passed.
A Fei knew that his excellent performance would bring about some changes, and this feeling was like a shadow after the first game. But he never expected that the change would be so huge and so many. The former little transparency can now attract the attention of other clubs, and even get the attention of the management, and is even expected to get a new contract.
