17M €, that will not please the side of the ASM!
Yet brilliant last season on the side of AS Monaco under the orders of Niko Kovac, the duo Wissam Ben Yedder – Kevin Volland is less alarming at the start of the 2021/2022 year. The German international striker weighs much less on the Monegasque attacking front, even though he’s already two goals in Ligue 1 this season.
But as stated in the log The team, according to a source close to the Principality club, Kevin Volland had been able to raise his level of play last season, in part thanks to the strong competition installed in attack at ASM which had greatly boosted him: “He would need to be a little more pushed. Last year, Kevin Volland and Wissam Ben Yedder had strong competition, they knew they had no right to relax, especially since there was also Stevan Jovetic who was pushing behind. Now, it’s not at all the same with Myron Boadu … “.
A statement that should not at all please the leaders of AS Monaco or the person concerned, Myron Boadu (20), who arrived on the Rock during the last summer Mercato for € 17M from AZ Alkmaar and who Despite everything, remains a young player, as our consultant Loïc Jégo reminded us:
“He is and it is legitimate because more is expected of him But he is not 20 years old and he has a big potential, a big margin of progress, we must not forget either that the young Dutch international striker had to quickly leave his cocoon in the Netherlands to discover a new environment (new style of football, new championship, new language).
The pressure is strong on the shoulders of the young Myron Boadu, who must in addition to digesting the weight of his transfer (17M € invested), also face a formidable competition with Wissam Ben Yedder and Kevin Volland, who had both realized wonders of last season at ASM.
So yes, the current performance and statistics of Myron Boadu can be singled out (only one assist and no goal), but from there to say that he would be in addition and in spite of himself partly “responsible” for the start of the season very average of Kevin Volland, we must not exaggerate more!
These kinds of statements are also not going to help the former AZ Alkmaar striker to gain confidence so that he can finally click and start his season. Don’t forget the example of Jonathan David with LOSC last year. Recruited for € 27m by Lille from La Gantoise, he was only 20 years old and had to wait fifteen games before scoring his first goal. The continuation on the know. For me the concern comes from elsewhere for Kevin Volland: a very frustrating Euro this summer with the national team of Germany with only two small comebacks in the last minutes as a left piston (and not an attacker) against the ‘Team of France then Hungary, with the key to elimination from the round of 16, then non-qualification in the Champions League with AS Monaco a month later. Difficult to digest and therefore complicated to start the new season of Ligue 1 under these conditions … is not that rather the origin of the problem? ”
