After a contract-free period of nearly two months, Benjamin Mendy, former 2018 World Champion, found a new club in Poland. Following a disappointing passage to FC Zürich, the French left side signed with the Pogon Szczeciń for a period of two years. He will find Kamil Grosicki, another player who has evolved into Ligue 1, who is already playing in this Polish club. This new adventure is a continuation of Mendy’s career, who is looking for a new sports project after leaving Manchester City.
AS Monaco is preparing to face Club Bruges on the first day of the Champions League phase. The team, led by Adi Hütter, hopes to outperform its previous campaign, marked by a dam elimination against Benfica. The match, which will take place in Bruges under the arbitration of Simone Sozza, will be closely followed by video assistance at the arbitration, with Alejandro Di Paolo in charge of this task. The stakes are crucial for Monaco, which aims for a good result in Belgium against a formidable opponent.
The last day of the championship was marked by a contested penalty involving a Monaco player. The video referee finally cancelled the penalty and the yellow card initially granted, after a careful analysis of the contact between the two players. At the same time, AS Monaco continues to feed young talents, with the convening of several players from the U16 selection for friendly matches against Switzerland. In addition, the former coach from Monaco, now coach in Bruges, highlighted the preparation and discipline of the Belgian team, while noting some ongoing transitions and key players to watch.
