Philippe Clement is praised in France after a stellar winning streak: ‘He knows how to re-launch players’

After the Europa League exit on March 17 (1/8 finals against Braga), the season appeared to be over for Philippe Clement and Monaco. No more European football, no more cup football and a sad ninth place in Ligue 1. But after the exciting match against Paris Saint-Germain (on March 20, winning 3-0), everything changed. Monaco has 12 out of 12 and is once again fully involved in the European venues.

In the lead-up to the first match against Nice, Clement received much praise for his tactical choices in the largest French sports newspaper. to liberate† Clement chose, among other things, to refer regulars Jean Lucas and Sofiane Diop to the bank. “Clement had to deal with so many injuries and illnesses that his options were not fully realized at first. The coach was already convinced in January that Aurelien Chuamini and Youssef Fofana were the right duo in the midfield, but Fofana struggled for a long time due to physical deprivation.”

“Promising international Sofiane Diop has long been the best attacking midfielder in Monaco, but Clement sent him to the bench. Coach Diop does not like to be someone who keeps the ball for long. His attitude can also be annoying, and Clement has a way to stop using him since The last defeat against Strasbourg, thanks to the return of Alexandre Golovin and Kevin Volland.”

Hope in Matazzo

to me to liberate Clement made all the right tactical choices and the team is now reaping the benefits. “Under Philip Clement, the doors have also opened for Robin Aguilar (28), the right-back who only played six minutes between February 20 and March 20. Clement knows how to re-release players.” This also presents the views of Elliot Matazzo, the most famous successor to Aurelien Chuamini (Who might make the biggest deal of the summer, editor).†The 20-year-old Belgian hasn’t gotten off the couch in recent weeks, but he did get a contract extension at the start of this year. There is great faith in the talent of Matazzo (formerly Anderlecht).

On Wednesday evening, Monaco will play at home against OGC Nice who are fourth in the standings. If they win, Monaco jump over the neighbors from Nice and they would be in a European spot anyway.
