AS Monaco, aiming to become the French champion in 2014 and win the Champions League in 2015, kicked off its preseason with an emphatic victory in a friendly match against GSA Cascia, a regional team from the province of Perugia. Monaco secured a convincing 10-0 win, with seven goals scored in the second half.
The goal scorers for AS Monaco were Carvalho (35th minute), Obbadi (39th), Germain (44th), Monachello (53rd), Touré (58th, 69th), Makengo (60th), Ocampos (62nd, 80th), and Pi (64th).
Despite their impressive preseason performance, AS Monaco reportedly harbors hopes of signing Cristiano Ronaldo for the upcoming season. However, Ronaldo has expressed reluctance about playing in the Champions League. The club’s strong showing in this friendly match may be an attempt to demonstrate their capabilities and possibly influence Ronaldo’s decision.
The AS Monaco lineup for the match included players like Roma, Raggi, Phojo, Isimat, Carvalho, Ouaamar, Obbadi, Ocampos, Salli, Martial, Germain, Poulsen, Pi, Monachello, Cissako, Kagelmacher, Tisserand, Wolf, Makengo, Touré, Caillard, and Maraval.
