After his World Cup, Ismail Jakobs now wants to win at AS Monaco
After a fairly complicated first part of the season, Ismail Jakobs, who is coming off a good World Cup with Senegal, now wants to earn an important place at AS Monaco.
Ismail Jakobs had a strange first half of the season. Although he only missed five games with AS Monaco, the 23-year-old left-back played very little, starting only five times out of the 18 games he played (511 minutes in total) . But this little playing time under the orders of Philippe Clément did not seem to disturb the player during the World Cup.
“I also want to do good things with my club”
Summoned to the National Team by Aliou Cissé last September, the former FC Cologne player has impressed since he joined the Lions, especially during the World Cup. While he did not start in advance as holder, Jakobs was able to impose himself in the absence of Saliou Ciss and after the package of Fodé Ballo-Touré. In four games, he delivered remarkable and remarkable performances.
Back in the club, he is already demonstrating his current great moment. Holder in a friendly match against Leeds United this Wednesday, December 21, the Monegasque distinguished himself with an assist and a goal. He took the opportunity to come back to this meeting. “Today’s game was a good test for us, on the snapshot a good result. Of course, I’m happy with my performance.” the Senegalese international is satisfied at the microphone of his club.
He adds : “It was a preparation match so of course everything was not perfect, but we had good sequences especially during the second period (Monaco scored 3 goals in the second half). From the start of the second half, we created a lot of chances. There have been positive things but there is still a lot of work to do. We can approach the rest of the season with full confidence. »
From now on, Ismaila Jakobs (6 selections with the Lions of Senegal) wants to take advantage of her current great form to settle at AS Monaco. “Right now, I feel good, I am full of confidence. I also want to do good things with my club, I can’t wait to prove it here in Monaco.”, he says. The competition will always be tough in the Principality Club but Jakobs has undoubtedly earned the credit of having more playing time.
