Sure enough, Ranieri chose to let Xu Qi play at halfway through the second half.

However, this time he arranged for Xu Qi to appear on the right side, and Carrasco's breakthrough ability on the left side still poses a considerable threat.

The current Monaco team is on the attack line, and the front line is Martial single arrow.

Luo in the middle, Xu Qi on the right, and Carrasco on the left.

The whole area is full of young talents. In contrast, Xu Qi is actually the oldest player in this attacking group!

Faced with his current seniority, Xu Qi was also a little helpless.

But he is also young, only twenty-four years old, and he can be regarded as a young player.

However, Xu Qi will never demand himself as a young player. Now he wants to become the pillar and leader of a team.

He wants to be the player who can really lead the team forward!

Ranieli left Xu Qi with twenty-five minutes, and Xu Qi needed to lead the team to complete the reversal.

Although this task is arduous, it is not difficult to complete. After all, the opponent is just a relegation team like Montpellier.

After Xu Qi appeared, he immediately opened a breakthrough for the team's offense on the right.

His chance to make achievements did not make people wait for too long. Just three minutes after playing, Luo divided the side of the middle lane to Kurzawa who was inserted into the side of the left lane.

Carrasco and Martial rushed into the penalty area at the same time to prepare for a chance in front of the goal.

Kurzawa decisively swept the ball across the middle, while Montpellier's central defender Hilton immediately grabbed Carrasco and Martial in front of him and blocked the ball with his long legs. The ball changed direction, swept through Carrasco and Martial and flew towards the back point.

At this time, there was no one defending the backcourt of Montpellier, and only one person rushed over there.

It was Xu Qi who had just appeared. Faced with an opportunity of no one to guard, Xu Qi directly ejected the ball with his right foot outside his feet at a small angle, and the ball flew directly against the goal post and scored within the goal net.

Montpellier goalkeeper Jodren had no response from beginning to end.

One to one, Xu Qi helped the team equalize the score.

After three minutes of substitute, he had already made achievements.

This is Xu Qi's first goal in the Ligue 1. Seeing Xu Qi's goal, Ranieri on the sidelines was extremely excited. This substitution worked so well. In three minutes, the score was tied.

It seems that reversing such a task is indeed not difficult.

Time goes on, and the game is coming to 79 minutes.

Montpellier has gained some field advantages during this period, and it seems that they still have the idea of ​​scoring three-pointers at home.

I have to say that this idea is really naive.

Montpellier, who was overwhelmed in front, made a mistake and was directly intercepted by Tularan.

After intercepting the ball, Tulalang directly passed the ball and found Xu Qi. This pass gave Xu Qi a chance to have a quasi-one shot.

Xu Qi directly inserted at high speed, and after receiving the ball, he drove straight in, and could directly face Montpellier's goalkeeper Jodren.

Facing Qiao Delun who attacked to block Xu Qi, Xu Qi swung Qiao Delun to the left with a feint of cutting inward.

At the same time, Xu Qi directly used his right foot to push the ball to his right side with his right foot, and directly passed Qiao Delun.

Then, he easily pushed the empty goal.

Two to one, easy reversal!

Xu Qi only came on as a substitute for ten minutes, and Monaco scored two goals in a row to reverse the score.

Unfortunately, this is just a away game. If it were at Monaco's home court, Louis II, the fans on the scene would be quite lively.

And the fans here seemed a little deserted.

In this game, Monaco finally won 2-1, which also made a good start for the second half of the season.

After the game, Ranieli and Xu Qi hugged affectionately. Ranieli finally felt that Xu Qi could help the team do a lot of things.

His recent two substitutes are too efficient.

The substitute came on the bench twice, and in total, he scored three goals in more than 40 minutes.

That's really OK.

Also due to Xu Qi's super strong performance in two substitutes, many media have begun to express their hope that Ranieri can put Xu Qi into the starting lineup.

Ranieli responded that Xu Qi was very adapted to the current positioning of a substitute. He liked to decide everything in the second half. His current physical condition is not yet able to start, but even if he comes on as a substitute, his role in playing is not worse than that of a starting player.

Xu Qi also expressed support for Ranieri's statement when the media asked him.

"I fully support Mr. Coach's approach, and I will be actively recovering now, hoping to continue to work out my best form to contribute to the team's next game. I believe I will be in the starting position soon."

At present, the gap between Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain is still seven points. If Monaco wants to compete for the championship in the Ligue 1, it needs to perform more stably.

Of course, Paris Saint-Germain will not keep winning. Although their strength is better than other Ligue 1 teams, this still does not mean that they will keep winning.

Monaco has the opportunity to gradually narrow the points gap.

During this period, Xu Qi was still used by Ranieri as a substitute force that could change the situation on the court.

Xu Qi has been doing well on the bench, but Monaco is indeed very strong and can often win the game before Xu Qi appears, so Xu Qi did not fight too hard after he appears.

He just needs to be on the court to adapt to the rhythm of the game.

2-0 defeated Toulouse and 2-0 defeated Marseille.

Monaco is continuing their winning streak.

During this period, the winter transfer once again gave Monaco a chance to attract attention.

Monaco will loan from Fulham to "Xiasha Brother" Berbatov, who once played for Manchester United.

In this way, Monaco's forward has more personnel choices.

Moreover, when Monaco played against Manchester United in the Champions League quarter-finals, there was also a gimmick of "Berbatov vs. the old master".

There are often no particularly eye-catching transfers in winter, and the final bid for the winter transfer was also won by Xu Qi's teammate Mata, who was once in Valencia.

Mata set a new transfer record for Manchester United with a transfer fee of 44.7 million euros, and what it broke was the transfer record for Manchester United to introduce Berbatov from Tottenham in 2008.

I have to say that some things are so coincidental.

However, it is a pity that many fans expect from Valencia's twin stars Xu Qi and Mata, which cannot be staged in the Champions League quarterfinals.

Because Mata had registered with Chelsea before, and in the winter transfer, Mata will not be able to represent Manchester United in the next Champions League journey.
