"We want to go higher, push the group to go further and progress, said Paul Mitchell. Every year, we want to be competitive on and off the field."
August will be a very busy month for Monaco.
Like last season, the Rock team will have to go through four European matches to hope to find the C1.
To this will be added five L1 matches.
These nine matches between August 2 and September 1, the end of the summer transfer window, will have a major impact on the season, which management wants better than last season.
This is why, after having made a staggered return of the players, subjected to physical tests since June 18, coach Philippe Clement really started his season at the start of the week.
Next Saturday, Monaco will begin a series of preparation matches.
After welcoming the partner club Cercle Bruges, it will be the turn of the Swiss from Saint-Gall on Wednesday 29 June.
"We want to be very competitive quickly, insisted Mitchell. For that we will try to have one or two matches per week, more than last season."
Tuesday, a group of 29 players, including four goalkeepers including Thomas Didillon, that of Cercle Bruges, was present.
With Golovin, Volland, Gelson Martins and other Fofana, were associated a dozen young professionals from the academy, who came to replace the internationals, such as Ben Yedder, Badiashile or Diop, still on vacation.
