Monaco, finalist of the last edition, qualified for the semi-finals of the Coupe de France by winning 2-0 against Amiens (L2), Tuesday at the Louis-II stadium. ASM opened the scoring from the 5and minute by Aurélien Tchouaméni. Kevin Volland doubled the lead in the second period (54th), after good work from young Maghnes Akliouche. This qualification announces a month of fire for Monaco. With six very important matches to play in 20 days: three in L1, in Marseille, in Strasbourg and against Paris SG, but also the semi-final of the Cup on March 2 or 3, and the round of 16, first leg and return, from the Europa League, on March 10 and 17.
Before this marathon, Monegasque coach Philippe Clement is already all about L1 and the reception of Lorient on Sunday. Because Monaco, which is seven points behind Marseille and a direct qualification in C1, the club’s number 1 objective, has no choice but to win to gradually return.
