with its winter recruits, OL wants to continue in the Principality
Monaco: don’t lose sight of the Champions League
Qualified for the quarter-finals of the Coupe de France, Monaco remains focused on the championship, with its objective of returning to the Champions League next season, but ASM is still far from it. Just like their evening opponent, who may not have been successful in the past, the team from the Principality has no choice and must enforce their law at home to avoid being knocked off the podium.
Lyon recruits at work?
In addition to Romain Faivre, who faces one of his former clubs, AS Monaco, on Saturday (9 p.m.), Tanguy Ndombélé is putting on the OL costume on the Rock. The midfielder loaned by Tottenham on the last day of the transfer window, Monday, chose to return to the Rhône, the place where he hatched at the highest level between 2017 and 2019.
“Lyon is not the easiest option for me. It’s not easy to come back for three and a half months,” the 25-year-old confirmed on Wednesday before this “lightning mission”, for which he feels physically ‘ready’ despite having zero playing time in London for almost a month.
Hello everyone !
With their two recruits, Tanguy Ndombele and Romain Faivre, but without Xherdan Shaqiri, OL must close the gap that separates them from the top places in the standings, synonymous with their presence in the European Cup next season, the ambition displayed by the club at the start of the season. But for now, OL are lagging behind despite their very good victory against OM, and a misstep on Monegasque soil could cloud their prospects in the final stretch of the championship. Only one watchword counts: winning.
