It is a rare enough visit to be underlined. President since he acquired 66.67% of the shares of AS Monaco in December 2011, Dmitry Rybolovlev visited his players on Thursday 19 May at La Turbie. A discreet character, the Russian businessman attended training accompanied by Paul Mitchell (sports director), James Bunce (performance director) and Yuri Bogdanov (member of the board of directors).

A few hours before a crucial match for the European future of the Principality club, Saturday in Lens (9 p.m., 38th and last day of Ligue 1), the presence of the Russian businessman is not insignificant. The latter supported his troops.
The oligarch made second place in the championship the priority objective of his team at the start of the exercise. And it is in particular because his ambitions seemed compromised that he had chosen to dismiss Niko Kovac last December.
But everything has changed since then. ASM is surfing on a maddening series of nine consecutive victories in L1 and climbed into the dolphin costume last Saturday after its stunning success against Brest (4-2).
By finishing 2nd in Ligue 1 behind PSG, the Monegasques would avoid a tough summer. They would not have to contest the 3rd preliminary round (August 2-3 and 9) or the play-offs (August 16-17 and 23-24) to enter the group stage of the next Champions League. They would open their European season on September 6 or 7 directly in the group stage of C1, which would change meant their start to the season.
On the Rock, no one has forgotten the damage caused last summer by the elimination in the Champions League play-offs against Shakhtar Donestk (0-1, 2-2 ap). Ben Yedder and his partners had left feathers there, physically and psychologically. A bad experience that they do not intend to relive.
