Market14 Apr 2036

Only the photograph left for Hamidou Makalou

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Hamidou Makalou will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Monaco the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Match12 Apr 2036

5 matches without a win for Monaco

The run now stands at 5, and the questions being asked around Monaco are no longer polite ones.

Match12 Apr 2036

5 matches without a goal for Monaco

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 5 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Squad14 Apr 2036

Tempers go at Monaco

Paul Eymard was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings14 Apr 2036

Pierre Mounguengue was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 16. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

The dugout14 Apr 2036

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Interim Coach was not hiding it after 0‑0, and nobody in the Monaco dressing room was either.

The dugout14 Apr 2036

When it matters, Orkun Kökçü plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Match12 Apr 2036

Point won or two lost for Monaco?

Ninety minutes, no goals, and the argument started before the car park emptied: a point gained, or two thrown away against LOSC Lille? Both sides of it will still be going on Thursday.

Looking ahead14 Apr 2036

Gabin Bernardeau goes back to face Le Havre AC

Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Gabin Bernardeau’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and Monaco needing him to play as if none of it matters.

In brief

  • Match Monaco have something to play for

Squad10 Mar 2036

Thomas Blanc damages knee ligaments — 36 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 36 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad10 Mar 2036

Words exchanged at Monaco

Pierre Mounguengue and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad10 Mar 2036

Robert Faure signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Robert Faure commits to Monaco for another 4 years.

The dugout10 Mar 2036

A promise honoured for Pierre Mounguengue

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Monaco told Pierre Mounguengue something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

The dugout10 Mar 2036

Half-satisfied: Interim Coach on the draw

“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 0‑0, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.

The dugout10 Mar 2036

When it matters, Orkun Kökçü plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Match8 Mar 2036

Monaco draw a blank against Paris Saint-Germain

The crowd waited for a goal that never came. Paris Saint-Germain defended in numbers and left with what they came for, and the two sides could be playing still without troubling a scorer.

The dugout10 Mar 2036

The manager makes an example of Édouard Pérez

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Looking ahead10 Mar 2036

Pierre Mounguengue faces his old club

Olympique de Marseille next, and one man in the Monaco dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.
