Defensively weak Monegasque
For AS Monaco on Sunday at FC Nantes (5:05 p.m. / in the TM live ticker) it is about keeping up with the Champions League places in Ligue 1. With 61 goals after 29 games, the Monegasques have the second best offensive, which is also necessary because the defense is the worst of all European Cup contenders with 40 goals conceded. Alexander Nübel in particular is criticized.
The fact that teams can always come back against AS Monaco, such as in the 4-3 win against RC Strasbourg Alsace last weekend, is also due to Nübel’s charisma, writes the “L’Equipe“: Too indecisive on the line, hesitant to step out and imprecise with the foot. Even coach Philippe Clement, who usually protects Nübel, was criticized at the press conference before the duel in Nantes.

“I don’t think Alex has made incredible saves in the last couple of games. His position could have been better for Strasbourg’s second goal, but there’s also Maripán, who loses the duel,” said Clement, who then emphasized again that Nübel was one of the best goalkeepers in Europe in terms of the number of saves. “The perception around him isn’t fair, it’s too negative. But he also had phases where he performed better than in the last few weeks. Now it’s up to him to prove he’s in the right shape for that final sprint.”
Nübel has been set since his loan move from FC Bayern to AS Monaco, and he has not conceded 23 times in 88 games so far. “There is competition and there is no guarantee that a goalkeeper will play every game,” Clement clarified, although substitute Thomas Didillon (27) and talent Yann Lienard (20) are not expected to go into the cold water in the important final phase of the season to be thrown.
Nübel will return to FC Bayern from AS Monaco
However, Nübel and AS Monaco will part ways in the summer, writes “L’Équipe”. There will be no firm commitment, and the loan deal with Munich does not include a purchase option anyway. The sporting management, on the other hand, is already looking for a new goalkeeper. Most recently, Jean Butez (27) from Royal Antwerpen FC has been linked with the Monegasque.
