Why did you start supporting AS Monaco?
Until I was 18, I would spend some weeks at Cap-d’Ail during summer holidays with my parents. Every year I visited La Turbie to watch training! We also would go to some matches, including ones against Spurs, Young Boys and Toulouse at the Stade Louis-II.

I know the region quite well as I’ve been there quite a few times. Those are the reasons that I feel connected to Monaco. The team’s philosophy of blending young talent and well-known experienced players is very interesting! Now that I am 22 years old and it has been some years since I have been there, I can’t wait to go back. The dream would be that one day, AS Monaco plays a match against my favourite club from The Netherlands: Vitesse Arnhem.
