Aleksandr Golovin is named the Monégasque of the first half of the season

With a dazzling first half of the season, including five goals and two assists, and very important in the style of play advocated by Adi Hütter, the Russian midfielder was elected MVP of the first part of the season on the AS Monaco App.

It could only be him! Voted Match MVP seven times and three times named player of the month, Aleksandr Golovin has further expanded his trophy collection from this first part of the season as he has been crowned Monegasque of the season’s first half on the AS Monaco App, after having been crowned by the CSM as well. With 76% of the votes, he was well ahead of Wissam Ben Yedder (15%) and Takumi Minamino (3%).

Decisive seven times

Very important in the style of play preferred by Adi Hütter, he can play behind a striker or on the left flanks, and he has also been decisive on a statistical level. With five goals and two assists, “Golo’” also has scored a few bangers, like when he found the top corner against Metz or another fine goal against Brest.

The milestone of 150 matches in Ligue 1

“When the team plays well, it is logical that I am in the best conditions to perform. We have played a lot of good matches this season, we are very good offensively. So that is one of the reasons why I have good statistics,” he modestly explained at a recent press conference. The collective certainly helps but it also shows a lot of talent for someone who played his 150th match in Ligue 1 against Montpellier – the only player on the squad at this level, and in a match where he won another MVP.

In l’Équipe’s team of 2023

His talent has also honored by the journalists of l’Équipe, who put him in their team of the first part of the season, as well as in that of the year 2023. At his side, two of his teammates at AS Monaco also made an appearance, namely Youssouf Fofana and Caio Henrique.

It was a logical choicea s the Russian midfielder scored 4.83 goals in Ligue 1 more than expected (10 goals for 5.17 expected goals), the highest positive differential this year, notes our statistics partner Opta. Bravo Golo! 👏
