A young Norwegian prodigy arrives on the Rock!
AS Monaco passes the international truce to a disappointing sixth place. However, despite the defeat against OM (2-3), the best was to be reported at the end of the first part of the season. The winter transfer window could allow several changes within the workforce, including a player who impresses.
AS Monaco resumed their winter preparation with a first match against Sevilla FC of Jorge Sampaoli. At the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan stadium, the Monegasque team opened the scoring on the hour mark before being caught in the score thirteen minutes later. So little can be learned from this draw (1-1) despite the line-up of Philippe Clément’s standard team, with the exception of Axel Disasi and Youssouf Fofana, he is a player who training with the Monegasque group which caused a sensation with the entire council of the principality.
A prodigy from Cercle Bruges
Jesper Daland is a Norwegian central defender who plays for Cercle Bruges, the subsidiary club of AS Monaco. The player experienced some promotion during the preparation stage by being seconded to the professional group of AS Monaco. The Norwegian has therefore been training under Philippe Clément for 2 weeks and the Norwegian media Nettavisen Sport has indicated that the player will impress his coach but also the sporting director of the Rocher club, Paul Mitchell. The player also played the entire second half against the Andalusian club as much as, for example, Malang Sarr, the summer rookie who arrived in the last moments of the transfer window. The 22-year-old Norwegian player is promised a very bright future and was scheduled to join the club next year, but this stadium could speed up the process and settle faster than expected on the side of the principality in a group whose sector defensive is a big shortcoming. Crowned with 56 caps with the selections of young Norwegians, the player should become the pillar of a defense which should count in the years to come since with the emergence of Erling Haaland and Martin Odegaard, the Norwegian Lions have everything to be one of the most anticipated teams at the next continental meetings.
AS Monaco could have one of the future star defenders of the new decade in the person of Jesper Daland. This great defender of 1m90 could, in the long term, integrate the Monegasque defensive rotation which will experience a particularly busy second part of the season with a French Boxing Day, which will launch a second part of the season with many matches at close dates, the Coupe de France and especially the Europa League play-offs face Bayer Leverkusen. The Monegasque or Norwegian supporters are in any case monitoring the evolution of the fate of Jesper Daland.
