After a humiliating defeat in Brest, it was difficult to predict the Monegasque team’s trajectory for the rest of the season. While AS Monaco has shown good things in the face of stronger teams and at home, it continues to suffer against weaker teams, a problem that has lasted for several years. Last night, in front of Le Havre, a team considered weak and in difficulty at home, the ASM delivered a terrible service. The game ended on a 1-1 draw and blank score.

The median-low formula, axial density and slow pace, often used by weaker teams, was once again effective against Monaco. Although nothing is played for the podium, the ASM is able to take 9 points out of the last three games. However, the 2024/2025 season will leave a bitter taste, far from the goals of strength and domination that the club had set itself.

Deep changes will be needed this summer to improve team performance. Meanwhile, the Norman copies are all bad, but they are still noted. AS Monaco coach A.Hütter did not succeed in triumphing over the evil that hit his team against weaker teams. Even the final sprint does not allow the team to prepare properly for a match in Havre land.

In the face of small teams, three major deficiencies were observed: a tactical deficiency with Breel Embolo in the position of 8 in a 4-3-3 hybrid, which slows down the game and systematically turns it back; a lack of dry cleaning with players throwing forwards in a de-synchronised manner, which allows the opponent to stand out quietly; a lack of coaching with excess volume, running and power at the expense of finishing and technique.

Deep changes are needed to improve team performance.
