AS Monaco: Philippe Clement changes system, Akliouche, Ben Yedder and Embolo start in Reims
Monaco is traveling to Reims this Sunday (1 p.m., 8th day of Ligue 1).
For this trip to the Marne, Philippe Clément is a starter for the first time in Ligue 1 Maghnes Akliouche.
The young attacking midfielder of 20 years had signed two good entries in Paris at the end of August (1-1) and against Ferencvaros Thursday (0-1). The native of Tremblay-en-France will be responsible for leading the right lane.
Switch to 4-4-2
The Belgian technician changed his system of play. He swapped his 3-4-3 which was not satisfactory in the animation for a 4-4-2. It combines the Ben Yedder-Embolo duo in attack.
On Saturday, at a press conference, the Monegasque coach explained that he had doubts about the physical condition of some of his men. He had listed a few sores and had doubts about his starting lineup.
He chose not to start Camara in midfield. He preferred to revive Eliot Matazo next to Youssouf Fofana. The Belgian will have to prove himself, he who disappointed at the start of the season.
As a reminder, Guillermo Maripan (abdominals) and Kevin Volland (ankle) did not make the trip.
The Monegasque eleven
Nübel – Aguilar, Disasi, Badiashile, Henrique – Akliouche, Fofana, Matazo, Golovin – Ben Yedder (cap.), Embolo.
