What a journey for Takumi Minamino! Having just been eliminated from the Asian Cup this Saturday, February 3 with Japan against Iran (2-1), in the quarter-final, the attacking midfielder was quick to join his club AS Monaco and his partners.
As soon as his team were defeated, the Monegasque strategist jumped on a plane to join France and Monaco. Opposed to the Le Havre team this Sunday noon, as part of the 20th day of Ligue 1, the Japanese international appeared on his team’s scoresheet.
That is less than 24 hours after his match with Japan against Iran. Aligned on the substitutes’ bench at kick-off, the number 18 of the Principality club appeared on the pitch at the end of the match in the 71st minute of play in place of Maghnes Akliouche. The Japanese playmaker played two matches in less than 24 hours on two different continents. Amazing !
AS Monaco does not advance in the ranking
Despite the express return of Takumi Minamino to the squad, the Monegasque club failed to defeat Le Havre this Sunday for the 20th day of Ligue 1 (1-1). In front thanks to Wissam Ben Yedder, Addi Hutter’s players quickly caught up with the score. Youssouf Fofana scored an own goal.
This result does not do the business of ASM which remains in 3 matches without a victory in Ligue 1 and which could move to 5th position at the end of the day in the event of success for LOSC against Clermont this Sunday afternoon .
