Monaco (FRA) fell to Coventry City (ENG), managed by Frank Lampard

Monaco’s (FRA) preseason, managed by Filipe Luís, has come to an end. This Friday (14), the team led by the Flamengo idol lost 2-0 to Coventry City of England, who play in the Premier League. One interesting detail: the team is managed by Frank Lampard, former Chelsea (ENG) player.

The current English second-division champions opened the scoring through Ellis Simms in the 12th minute. Shortly afterward, in the 32nd minute, Loum Tchaouna doubled the lead. The match took place at the English side’s home ground, Coventry Building Stadium.

WHEN IS FILIPE LUÍS’ MONACO’S NEXT MATCH?

Now it counts for real! Filipe Luís will begin competing for three points next Thursday (20). Monaco will play the Conference League playoff against Gornik Zabze of Poland at the opponent’s home ground. The return leg will be on August 27 in France.

The French Championship is also about to begin for Monaco. On the 23rd, 30th, and 09/04, Filipe Luís’ team will face Le Havre, Olympique de Marseille, and PSG, respectively. In other words, it’s a run of matches in the best “Brazilian football” style, with no rest.

HOW WAS FILIPE LUÍS’ PRESEASON AT MONACO?

In total, Monaco’s preseason featured six matches. Overall, Filipe Luís recorded three wins, one draw, and two losses. The most special moment came last Sunday (09), when the French side beat mighty Liverpool 3-2 in England. The home team had gone 2-0 up, but the red-and-black idol made the difference and managed to turn the match around.

SO WHAT IS THE AUTHOR’S OPINION, AFTER ALL?

— A good start for Filipe Luís at Monaco, despite this Friday’s defeat. Even though it was a friendly, the wins—especially against Liverpool—had major repercussions in Europe. Now we’ll see how the team behaves in matches that actually count for points — began Pedro Paulo Catonho, journalist for Coluna do Fla.

— The next match is already a knockout game, and that kind of match suits Filipe perfectly. After all, against a team from Poland, Monaco will be expected to take the initiative, just as the coach liked to do during his Flamengo days. Coluna do Fla will follow it and bring the result next week — he added.
