Monaco United continued with yet another win this Sunday, maintaining their remarkable unbeaten track record, with a crushing 17-0 victory over Cavigal Nice at the Didier Deschamps Stadium in Cap-d’Ail.
The team have now won all six of their opening league matches, sitting a the top of the table as they pursue their second objectives.
Playing at their home ground, Monaco United wasted no time asserting their dominance. An early goal settled any nerves before a relentless attacking display saw them race into 8-0 lead by half time.
However, the hosts never let up after the break, with Simone able to rotate his squad and give more players match time while maintaining the same intensity. The final 17-0 scoreline proved not only the team’s great attacking style, but their mastery of defence as well, as they were able to secure yet another clean sheet.
“The team delivered a very strong performance,” said defender Mélanie Hacard. “Playing simple, fast football allowed us to score early and then keep control with composure. Our defensive solidity, with no goals conceded, is also a major satisfaction, boosting the confidence of the entire back line; as someone who plays in that sector, it’s a special pleasure.”
Thomas Brezzo, President of Monaco’s National Council, attended the match and praised both the club’s progress and Simone’s leadership.
“I knew Marco at the end of his playing career and I’m delighted to see him so devoted to Monaco United, a club he created with passion and ambition,” Brezzo said. “The girls are fortunate to be part of a beautiful project led by a top-quality coach”
Marco Simone says he was pleased with how his side maintained their standards despite the comfortable scoreline.
“The performance was of a very high level,” he said. “Despite the large scoreline, the players maintained their standards and showed real collective maturity. Our defensive solidity reflects the team’s concentration on every detail.”
