So dashing since the start of the season, theAS Monaco had been stalling for several weeks. The Principality club remained in two games without a victory in Ligue 1, and had to give a response for the reception of Angers, this Friday, against an opponent who seemed within their reach on paper.
Adi Hütter faced a bit of a headache for this championship match. Because the timing of the Champions League, with a match in Bologna in four days, was inevitably on our minds. And because several executives were missing, including Denis Zakaria and Vanderson. A context that the ASM was unable to overcome.
Monaco can no longer do it
Lacking inspiration on the offensive level, the Monegasques came up against a very compact Angevin block. It was still necessary to materialize this plan with a coup. And it happened at the half-hour mark. Jean-Eudes Aholou unleashed a marvel of powerful strike which hit the mark (0-1, 29th).
Stung, the Monegasques tried to revolt, but they did not have the arguments to worry this Angevin team this Friday evening. The Rock players remained powerless in the two zones of truth, and the score did not change, despite the clear opportunities of an Embolo not very successful.
This new poor performance confirms AS Monaco’s decline, which could see Paris Saint-Germain widen its gap at the top of Ligue 1 in the event of a victory against Lens on Saturday.
