AS Monaco announced a series of friendly matches for the recovery of the championship on August 16. After having already played three preparatory meetings, the club continues to structure its calendar with two new games against the Torino FC, scheduled for July 30 and 31 at the La Turbie Performance Centre. These meetings serve as preparations for a trip to Amsterdam to face the Ajax on August 3. The club has already made preparatory matches against the Cercle Bruges, Coventry City FC and Nottingham Forest, with varied results, and other friendly matches are planned with Armina Bielefeld. These friendly matches are detailed in the complete Ligue 1 match schedule.

Paul Pogba’s arrival in Monaco on 28 June started with individual physical preparation, allowing him to become familiar with his new teammates. The French midfielder, who joined the club as a free player, trains in the gym with players like Ansu Fati. Links are created with Lamine Camara, a 21-year-old player who seems particularly enthusiastic about working alongside Pogba. The two players, working in similar positions in the middle of the field, have often focused on Senegalese culture, a sign of Pogba’s positive integration into the team.

Paul Pogba’s integration in Monaco is seen as an encouraging sign for the club. Although the two players are likely to compete for a spot in the middle of the field, the emerging relationship between Pogba and Camara demonstrates a good understanding within the team. This positive dynamic is an asset for Monaco, which aims to regain its place among the best European clubs. Pogba’s attention to Camara, as well as their personal exchanges, suggest a desire for collaboration and mutual support, which could lead to increased collective performance in the upcoming games.
