While the previous two articles have been focused on sharing "positive" and "good" stories, this article will focus on some of the more unfortunate players in this season's overseas group. In the past few years, we have seen a lot of backwaters slowly coming into the European continent, and those veterans who have been playing for a long time have also started to slowly plan their own "back roads". It's true that we've seen a lot of foreign players returning to their roots, and some Japanese players in their prime have faced some career challenges, trying to break through and get back on their feet, so let's talk about the following three players who I personally think have had a pretty bad season.

With a career (including a loan spell at Southampton) of 65 games plus 16G3A, expectations do seem to be a bit off from reality when evaluated on results alone (at least that's what I personally think) It may be a bit harsh, but Tosohiro Minamino joined the

His record was that he scored 64 goals and 43 assists in 200 games in the Austrian Superliga, making him one of the most efficient players in the Japanese Overseas League at the time.
The main reason he's so far behind is because of the four years he's been here.

The player with the most goals. Being left behind like this really makes you wonder why he's in such a slump. Let's take a look at his experience first.
After joining Monaco on July 1, 2022, he was expected to come in and win for the team, but the reality of his first game threw a wrench in the works. Before the start of the season
European crown
After drawing with Eindhoven in the first leg of the play-offs, the second leg of the play-offs saw
an upset (esp. in sports)
The team was defeated by the opponent, and Minamino did not step up to the plate and had a mediocre performance. He waited until the second game to make his Ligue 1 debut, and didn't contribute an assist until the fourth game. His first goal came two months later, and sadly, it was his only goal of the season.
After that he gradually became a regular on the bench, mostly from the bench, rarely getting a start. In the WHOSCORED data, the average rating of 6.44 points is ranked in the back of the Monaco team. In addition to the poor average rating, the shooting efficiency is very low, judging from the data, 22 shots were converted only to get a goal, only 0.05 times in G/Sh, which is the bottom of the team. In Monaco we can see that they mostly put Minamino on the wing, as a winger, excellent dribbling is needed, but Takumi Minamino's passing success rate is only 44%, which is not as good as the best Golovin in their team (55% passing success).
Monaco sporting director Paul Mitchell tried to explain Nanno's slump in a media interview. He said
"Takumi Minamino is currently going through the most difficult period of adjustment. But you have to be patient. Hopefully the goal against Reims will lead to more goals for us in the future.
He is the oldest of the new players, so there is some conflict in adapting. He needs more time to get used to the demands and physicality of Ligue 1 and our style of play. You have to get used to it mentally and physically. You also need rhythm. But we know he is a good player.
