An ever more effective duo!
Both scorers two minutes apart against Saint-Étienne, Wissam Ben Yedder and Kevin Volland allowed their team to chain a sixth consecutive success (1-4). And the duo could even break a record this Sunday against Angers.
The terror of Ligue 1 defenses for several weeks has a name: Yedderland! You will no doubt have understood it, this refers to the attacking duo of AS Monaco Ben Yedder – Volland. Saturday again they shook the nets of their adversaries blow after blow (Ben Yedder 23andVolland 25and) and above all spoiled the 30th anniversary of the Green Angels, loyal supporters of AS Saint-Étienne. What to involve them on nine of the last fifteen Monegasque goals (8 goals, 1 assist) in Ligue 1 and delight their teammates. “What we are currently achieving is the result of collective work, but it is clear that Wissam and Kevin are helping us a lot. We defend well and when we give them the ball, they do the job up front. When everything lines up, they score with few chances, that’s what great players do.”Confessed Caio Henrique at the end of the meeting.
One but away from a record!
With only four days left to go, no one doubts that the two friends will not stop there. And for good reason, if the ASM has a place in the Champions League to seek (4and tied with Rennes, 3and)Ben Yedder and Volland also have a record to beat! Decisive 55 times last season in all competitionsMonegasque scorers are 54 times this year. They can therefore equal or even beat their record this Sunday at home against Angers (3 p.m.). The French international has, at the same time, equaled his highest total of league goals scored in a season (20 in 2020-2021) facing Saint-Etienne. He could therefore, with the help of his German teammate, beat him this weekend.
