Day: 3 September 2018

As the dust settles from Sunday night’s home defeat against Olympique Marseille, a certain amount of concern is settling in for Monaco’s soccer fans. The late goal from former Monaco player Valère Germain meant that the Monegasques have won only a single game out of four games in the new season of French Ligue 1.

While Germain’s 89th minute header sealed Monaco’s fate, this was all the more bitter because the Monegasques had been ahead almost unexpectedly, two to one, in the 54th minute after a goal from Falcao.

Rudi Garcia, OM’s coach, was eager to play up the scale of his team’s victory: “It’s a great win against a team that plays in the Champions League and wants to finish on the podium.”

Yuri Tielemans, mid-fielder at AS Monaco, underlined how much needs to be done:

“Four points in four games, it’s not enough, we have to get back to work, we have a young group, a lot of new players, when we play as a team, it’s easier. It’s going to be difficult, but we have to do better. get there.”

Certainly the home loss will do nothing to raise Monaco’s morale as the Champions League starts in earnest on September 18. Monaco captain Radamel Falcao had approached Sunday’s Ligue 1 clash with Marseille as a practice run for Champions League qualification.

With seven points from four games, Marseille have pushed Monaco out of second place and trail leaders Paris Saint Germain, who beat Nimes 4-2 on Saturday, by five points.

AS Monaco soccer team has announced a sponsorship partnership with tyre manufacturer Hankook, the seventh-largest tyre manufacture in the world, for an initial two-year period.

“During this period, Hankook will benefit from a strong presence in Stade Louis-II at home matches in Ligue 1 on LED signage and communication media of the club,” AS Monaco said.

“This partnership with a global brand, which has chosen AS Monaco to support its commercial development in France, demonstrates the attractiveness of the club and consolidates its reputation.”

Hankook is a partner of several major European clubs, including Real Madrid, and also of the Europa League. The company employs 22,000 people worldwide.

According to a profile on Bloomberg, Hankook Tire Co., Ltd. manufactures and sells tyres in South Korea and internationally. The company offers tyres for passenger cars, SUVs, light trucks, buses, and trucks, as well as competition tires. It provides its products primarily under the Hankook, Laufenn, Aurora, and Kingstar brands.

The company was formerly known as Chosun Tire Company and changed its name to Hankook Tire Co., Ltd. in 1953. Hankook Tire Co., Ltd. was founded in 1941 and is headquartered in Seoul, South Korea.

The Prince’s Government and the elected National Council are cooperating in introducing a new law to protect the interests of employees who work night shifts in the Principality.

The bill is expected to go before the National Council within a few weeks for a vote. The bill was originally proposed by the National Council, before the Government decided it would be worthwhile to be associated with its preparation and introduction.

At present, in terms of night-time work, there are only legal provisions in force to protect woman and children.

Didier Gamerdinger, Minister of Labour, Health and Social Affairs, said that there are around 9,500 employees in Monaco who are involved in working at night, and the new legislative bill “was worth working on.” The new bill is more ‘ambitious’ than the original proposals, and has been devised with the input of social partners, employees and employers.

Monaco’s Criminal Court has reached the conclusion that two colleagues of an employee of the gardens’ maintenance department are guilty of causing involuntary injuries, local French daily Monaco Matin reports.

The victim had swallowed weed killer that was in an empty drinks bottle, the court was told.

The two gardeners were sentenced to a fine of 2,000 euros each, suspended. The Director of Urban Planning and the Head of the Garden Section were acquitted. The incident took place on June 18, 2015. President Jérôme Fougeras-Lavergnolle said that a claim for damages had been dismissed.
