Denis Zakaria is your September MVP by Bang & Olufsen
He was one of the main assets in Monaco’s unbeaten run in September. With four wins and a draw in all competitions, AS Monaco has confirmed its excellent start to the season. And Denis Zakaria is one of the main reasons for this, starting on the first day of the month against Lens.
Top scorer of headed goals since last year
That day, he opened the scoring with a powerful header from a corner by Caio Henrique, scoring his third headed goal since his arrival last year, the best in Ligue 1 over that period! If the Monegasques then conceded the equalizer on a penalty, it was indeed he who was elected MVP of the match, a title that the captain kept in Auxerre after the international break.

An XXL performance in Auxerre
On the pitch at the Stade Abbé-Deschamps, he put in a great performance during the 3-0 victory, first providing a sublime assist to Vanderson before concluding his strong match with a goal at the end of the match from another corner — this time, with his foot.

He was once again very important in the prestigious victory against Barcelona (2-1) five days later, the Rouge et Blanc midfielder notably succeeded in 98% of his passes, enough to appear in l’Équipe’s team of the round for the first matchday of the Champions League..
MVP of September before Eliesse and Maghnes
Along with Eliesse Ben Seghir and Maghnes Akliouche for the title of player of the month of September, the Swiss international won this duel with almost 48% of the votes. He narrowly beat the bronze medalist of the last Games, scorer of a fine goal against Le Havre (37%) and the first scorer against Barça (15%). Bravo Zak’ ! 👏
