Troféu Cinco Violinos 

The warm up

The lions will face off against Ligue 1 side AS Monaco in the annual Troféu Cinco Violinos. Founded in 1924 they reside in the principality of Monaco and yet play their football in the top flight of French football. Nicknames Les Rouge et Blanc (The Red and Whites), Les Monégasques (The Monégasques) and Le Rocher (The Rock) they play at the Stade Louis II which has a capacity of just 16,360. 

They're majority owned by the Russian billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev (who is reported to be worth just the 6.7 billion dollars) who has 66.67% of the shares. The remainder are owned by the house of Grimaldi which is the reigning house of the Principality. Many clubs lay claim to being European Royalty, ASM to be fair are quite literally owned by European Royalty. The current head of the house is Albert II the son of Grace Kelly the former American actress who became the Princess of Monaco.

The principality is best known for being the home of the super-wealthy owing to there being no income tax due, well not unless you are a French national. Certainly non-French players are able to benefit from not paying income tax. Over 30% of those who reside there are said to be millionaires. Just shy of 40,000 people live in an area less than one square mile. It's the second smallest Sovereign state in the world after the Vatican City. One envisages that they won't bring a large contingent of away fans to Lisboa for this fixture. Had it been in the Algarve like the other summer fixtures, if they came by super yacht I'm not sure that the Port of Portimão could have coped. 

Despite being home to so many wealthy individuals, the club itself hasn't been immune from financial difficulties. In 2003 they finished runners up in Ligue 1 but owing to debts of €50 million they were initally relgated to Ligue 2, though that decision was latterly overturned on appeal and eventually they were hit with a transfer ban instead. Despite the financial turmoil the club reached the Champions League the following season and would finish in 3rd place in Ligue 1. 

Monaco were relegated at the end of the 2010/11 season and it was in December 2011 that Rybolovlev took up his stake in the club whilst the club were bottom of Ligue 2. Claudio Ranieri took the club back to Ligue 1 where the Russian billionaire flexed his financial muscles during the summer. James Rodríguez was signed from FC Porto for £40m, Radamel Falcao came from Atletico Madrid for £50m and in all they spent the best part of £140m on players and the club finished runners up in the 2013/14 season. If you've been following the summer series on the rise and fall of Bruno de Carvalho here this summer then you'll know where their next coach Leanardo Jardim came from and why. In the 2016/17 season the ex-Sporting mister led Monaco to the French title and a certain Kylian Mbappé was making waves as a youngster for the club. He would join PSG on loan initially before they paid the obligatory fee of €180m which remains the second highest ever transfer fee paid behind that which PSG paid Barcelona for Neymar. Notable players also sold in that period include Bernardo Silva. 

They are currently coached by the Belgian mister Sébastien Pocognoli. He took over from Adi Hütter who was sacked in October of last year. Their seventh place finish in Ligue 1 was enough to secure qualification for the Europa Conference League. Their record played 34, won 16, drawn 6, lost 12, GF 60, GA 54. Their biggest home with came 5-2 against Metz, whilst away they record 4-1 wins over both Paris FC and Rennes and a 5-4 win over the lions over pre-season opponents from Ligue 1 this summer RC Strasbourg. The club is currently home to ex-lion Eric Dier as well as Paul Pogba following his return from a ban following a failed drugs test. 

The two sides have met twice before. On September 17th, 1997 the lions won 3-0 at home with goals from Oceano, Hadji and Leandro. On November 27th, 1997 they lost 3-2 in the principality with goals from Costa Silva and a Leandro penalty. Notable names playing for Monaco that day included a certain Thierry Henry, David Trezeguet and Fabian Barthez.

7th July - One player making world headlines is American forward Folarin Balogun who has had his red card overturned from their 2-0 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina to allow him to start in the round of 16 match against Belgium. Better news for the lions is the return of Zeno Debast to the substitutes bench. You imagine the partisan lions fans will have plenty to say at the José Alvalade should Balogun play and Belgium be knocked out in the early hours of Tuesday morning. 

17th July - ASM have been busy in the transfer window. They've brought another ex-lion in the form of Flávio Nazinho from Cercle Brugge for £4.3m. Mathys Detourbet has joined on loan from Manchester City. Sadibou Sané cost £6m from Metz. Finally a player who joins the ranks of those who fans ask "whatever happened to him?" in Ansu Fati. They've paid £9.5m for his services from Barcelona. 

25th July - Newcastle have signed midfielder 20 year old Aladji Bamba for a fee which could eventually rise to £34m.

The lions get us underway and attack right to left in the opening 45. The hairs are on stood up on the back of my neck with the rendition of the anthem. Sporting in their traditional green and white stripes. Bets on a kit change at halftime. 

2 What a difference being back in the José Alvalade makes. The fans are lifting the roof and the atmosphere is electric 

3 Corner far side to the lions. They broke quickly from the half way line but the final pass saw the initial move break down when they looked like they might open the scoring. Nel it was who over hit the pass 

3 Monaco clear for another corner far side 

4 Monaco head clear a second time from a ball into the near post 

5 Great move from the lions switching the ball from left to centre to Zalazar on the right. He pulls his shot past the left hand post from 12 yards and out for a goal kick

5 Doumbia mops up on the edge of the area and a rare foray down field from the visitors quickly broken down 

7 Misplaced pass by Vagiannidis from way inside his own half has his teammates on the back foot but they push Monaco back to the halfway line 

8 Notable that Monaco's midfield and attackers are effectively playing in a 3-3-2 in the final third hunting for the ball 

9 Nel claims for a penalty as he felt he was pulled back inside the area as he attempted to get his shot away. Not sure if he made contact in the end as the ball ran out of play. He definitely looked impeded. No VAR being pre season. 

12 Blocked shot from 12 yards from Sporting, the Monaco defender literally threw his body in the way 

13 Monaco defending in a 4 who are occupying the space no further than the width of the 18 yard box which allows Sporting space on either flank to attack into 

14 Good defensive work from Araújo who under pressure used his strength to hold the man off and play the ball to Virgínia to clear 

14 Gonçalves chopped pass inside the box could only find a defender 

15 POST Geny sees his curled effort cannon off the left hand post and to safety from 15 yards to the right of the Monaco area 

16 Sporting fans clearly not had anything to sing about in the summer are making for a tremendous atmosphere again as e dia de Jogo rings out from the stands 

17 Gonçalves still can't get his first goal as a senior player. Wide open his effort from 15 yards saved low to Hradecky’s right. The move started with Zalazar wide right, his pass to the centre found Nel who flicked in onto the youngster wide open 

18 Yellow shown to Mika Biereth (14) for a late challenge on Altimira

19 Zalazar’s free kick wide left eventually falls at the feet of Doumbia having bounced around the edge of the area. Hands on head as he skews a shot wide of the left post from 16 yards centrally

20 Geny with his head in hands this time as he fires wide of the left hand post from 16 yards 

24 Inácio, Diomande, Nuno Santos, Kochorashvili amongst those watching on from the Gods. Oh Debast's there too

24 Corner Sporting far side. Geny found Vagiannidis on the overlap. His attempted cut back came off the defender and out 

25 Initial corner headed clear. Gonçalves tries to curl an effort towards the top right hand corner but too much on it and out for a goal kick. His debut senior goal has to come soon surely 

27 Switch pass into the box from Geny trying to find Zalazar doesn't come off but right idea nonetheless 

28 Luis Suárez sat away from the other players with what one assumes is Mrs Suárez who looks proper brassed off

29 Gonçalves header goes wide of the left hand post from 10 yards. Had that been on target I'm not sure the keeper would have gotten anywhere near it 

29 Too much on Geny's cross from the right and the keeper able to claim 

30 A third of the match gone and I can't remember the visitors having a single attempt on goal and yet the score is still 0-0. Geny and Gonçalves have come closest to breaking the deadlock 

31 Free kick 27 yards out as Nel pulled down by Mawissa 

32 Free kick wide right. Zalazar found the head of Edu who got good power and contact from 8 yards but could only send it out for a goal kick to the right of the goal 

33 Yellow to Doumbia for taking Coulibaly out with a scissor motion 

33 Nazinho fires high and wide from 20. He got that all wrong. The sort of technique you'd use if you were on the half way line trying to get a shot away not from 20 yards. Still Monaco have now at least recorded one effort 

34 Hradecky to the rescue to clear with a sliding challenge on the edge of his box 

36 Nel waves his arms about not happy at a decision. He looks very hot and flustered. We're treated to a replay of the Monaco keeper coming to their rescue. Phenomenal raking pass from Zalazar who tried to pick out Araújo on the edge of the area 

36 Geny taken out in the box. Again no penalty and Monaco went all the way up the other end. Free kick conceded by Araújo. The TV coverage was showing Geny on the floor. I have a suspicion the referee may have booked Araújo but we didn't see it and no confirmation 

38 Free kick ends up in the hands of Virgínia. Technically I guess that counts as their first shot on target. Biereth was close to getting a touch and had he done the lions might have been in trouble 

39 Quaresma with a huge tackle to dispossess Biereth who was shaping to shoot. Big moment from the captain 

41 Good work in the midfield by Zalazar but his pass to Nel overcooked and the danger passes again for Monaco 

42 Referee runs to Nel to calm a situation with Mawissa. He avoids a booking. Golovin however is shown a Yellow presumably for his reaction

43 Yellow to Araújo for a pull on Coulibaly. That answers my question of whether he was booked for the previous challenge 

44 Free kick 24 yards from the Sporting goal line wide right finds a lions head and they clear the danger easily 

No additional time 

Half time 

Sporting CP 0 AS Monaco 0

Certainly no complaints in regards to the lions performance. The only thing missing was the ball in the net. I think the visitors have maybe had one warmup game against a smaller French side and once again the fitness levels between the two sides shows. Strasbourg swapped out their entire XI on Monday and it wouldn't surprise me to see something similar here. You'd imagine that at some point that the lions will find the net. Some idiot wrote after the 7-0 and the fact Monaco also beat Strasbourg 5-4 in their last competitive outing that this would be 0-0 and go to penalties. Think you can probably guess who that was. 

Flávio Gonçalves with the lions share of the chances for Sporting. Geny's shot that rattled the post would have made a spectacular goal. 10 attempts to 2. Monaco have actually had more possession at 55% to 45%. Monaco look like they have an entire eleven warming up at half time.

Second half 

Geny, Zalazar, Flávio Gonçalves all going through warm downs at half time. Silas, Guilherme and Pedro Gonçalves amongst those warming up. Going to be a busy opening minute for me with the substitutes coming on for both sides. Oh joy. Sporting 5/6 Draw 11/5 and Monaco 7/2.

⬅️➡️ Flávio Gonçalves, Zalazar and Geny off. Pedro Gonçalves, Silas and Guilherme on. The latter stood with Rui Borges and a tactics board. The others sat on the bench. That was easy enough. As for Monaco. Oh boy. Dier is still on as is 19 Cabral...oh just the one change. 

Monaco get us back underway. The lions have changed kits for the second half from green and white horizontal stripes to their new gold and black trim kit. They did the same last season against Villarreal. So is this Pedro Gonçalves final appearance? 

⬅️➡️ 45 on for Monaco ...Teze off for Matthias Wamu. Change in goal too as Hradecky replaced by Philipp Köhn. So nothing like as bad as first thought. 

47 Nel shot hits Dier from 8 yards. Claims for a penalty but his arms were down by his side 

49 Nel shot saved from 8 yards. The ball just won't go in for Sporting 

51 Guilherme whistles a shot past the top left hand corner from 15 yards 

53 Great reading of the game from Silas who steals the ball as Monaco tries to play out from the back 

53 GOAL Sporting CP 1 AS Monaco 0. Finally the deadlock is broken. Guilherme with a pin point cross over the head of Dier and Nel with a flying header from six yards to break the deadlock. Five or six really key crisp passes in the buildup to find space for Guilherme wide right. Great team goal 

55 Lions set for a double change. Lima getting instructions from the sidelines 

56 Silas involved in a tussle far side with the ball out of play. Monaco player ends up on his backside. Referee didn't see it assistant too far away 

57 Great work from Sporting forcing Monaco into a mistake in the final third. They get the ball to Gonçalves who half a yard inside the area fired disappointingly over 

58 Nel finds himself the filling in a Monaco sandwich. 

58 ⬅️➡️ Lima for Altimira. Doumbia for Derry. Nel for Ioannidis 

59 Dier goes through the back of Derry, free kick awarded. Welcome to the game son 

60 Sporting happy for Monaco to have possession. Justified as at the end of it all the ball ends up with Virgínia

61 #41 Set to come on for Monaco. 

62 Biereth shot blocked from 16 yards. Foul called in the buildup however on a Monaco player 

63 Free kick centrally 20 yards out to Monaco. Golovin beats the wall but his effort lands onto the top of Virgínias net 

64 ⬅️➡️Here come the substitutions. No chance. Dier is off. I'll have to backfill those later I think. On - Brunner, Idumbo, Diop, Toure, Mokabilika, Assab, Konaté, Sané and Nibomé. That's nine changes at least 

67 GOAL Sporting CP 2 AS Monaco 0. Jesse Derry opens his account on loan from Chelsea. That's an audacious effort to put it into the far right hand corner past the defender in front.

71 Guilherme dumped on his backside. Free kick 16 yards from the goal line nearside is headed out for a throw far side 

72 Fresneda gets a hug from one of the coaching staff as he's ready to come on and return from his long term injury 

72 #41 foul on Ioannidis 

72 ⬅️➡️ Vagiannidis, Gonçalves and Araújo off. Fresneda, Bragança and Rodrigo Dias on. Pedro Gonçalves takes the applause of the fans 

74 Edu is down clutching his head in the centre 

74 Pedro Gonçalves waves goodbye to the fans and leads them in song before one final wave goodbye, he sits down, gives a thumbs up, pat of his hand on his heart. That was that folks. 29 minutes and a shot over the bar as an end to a long and distinguished career as a lion. Once top scorer in the top flight, three league titles

77 For the first time this evening this game seems to have gone flat like an open bottle of coke left out too long. It looks baking in Lisboa, the lions have a comfortable lead. Can't say I blame them for taking their foot off the gas. Monaco have never got going. 

78 Guilherme stings the hands of the keeper from 7 yards. Corner near side. Defensive error allowed the Brazilian to capitalise initially and charge into the area unmarked but he was too wide to get an effective shot away 

80 17 attempts to 3. 7 on target for the lions 0 from the visitors. OK so the free kick end of the first half didn't count as a shot on target 

81 Quaresma absolutely balling as he dances past two Monaco players and lays it off with a back heel. People laugh at me when I say I'd have him in midfield. They can go fuck themselves quite frankly 

82 Even the fans seem worn out by their efforts 

82 Monaco retain possession in the final third but cannot find anyway past a resolute defence and the ball ends up all the way back 30 yards from goal 

83 Thunder claps in the stands. The Monaco coach Felipe Luís stands pensive on the touchline finger to lip completely motionless. Penny for your thoughts mister? Sacrebleu? Oh mon dieu? Fuck a duck? Holy shit? Is it full time yet? Did I lock the backdoor?

84 Derry brings a save from 19 yards centrally. First touch chopped the ball back to his right and open up the space 

85 Free kick for a foul on Lima. Two man wall. Sporting went short from 27 yards. Eventually Derry picked out Silas who headed onto the bar from 7 yards and Monaco cleared for a corner near side 

86 So that's twice the lions have hit the woodwork. Not that the goals are made of wood anymore. 20 attempts to 3. Monaco still with 55% of possession as a reminder what a useless statistic that is 

89 Silas dances inside the area but his attempted layoff behind him was too short 

89 Finally a shot on target from 16 yards straight at Virgínia from Konaté

Plus three shown

+1 The fans with chants that they want to see Sporting as Champions. I'll assume they're referring to the Liga campaign and not the Troféu Cinco Violinos 

+2 Brunner gets it all wrong from 13 yards having bumped his marker off the ball and fires it not only into the stand but wide right to boot

Full time 

Sporting CP 2 AS Monaco 0

The final word

The lions make it five straight wins against Ligue 1 opponents. It was a comfortable victory in which the visitors first attempt on target came in the 89th minute and even then that was a pea roller at Virgínia in goal. 

I don't think it's any coincidence that the visitors' two best chances came after the 89th minute when in the heat of a Lisboa night the defence was probably dreaming of dipping their feet into an ice bucket and watching the steam rise. It was a comprehensive victory which should have seen more goals but the difference between this win and the one against Villarreal on the same day twelve months ago in terms of performance was night and day. Like Strasbourg on Monday I will add the caveat that the visitors have started their pre-season some time behind that of the lions and it showed. They didn't have their stars on show in the form of Pogba, Fati or Baloguin. I'm keeping my feet on the ground because as good as we've looked in all three games not behind closed doors, the opponents have looked way off and it is after all still just pre-season. We've 34 games to come in the league so don't get ahead of ourselves. Throw in a guaranteed eight in the Champions League and one a piece in both Taça’s and we've 44 games minimum that need to be overcome.

Plenty of positives however across pre-season and not just the obvious ones with a raft of summer signings ticking off their first goals. I think it's just Lima yet to find the net of those who've played. Ba is still recovering from his injury and he'll be a while off before we see him in a Sporting shirt. Nice to see Diomande in the crowd watching on. Still a lion for now. Fresneda and Ioannidis have both returned to the fold after long term injuries. We can only hope we're not about to have a third season with an appalling injury record. Two have been hard enough to take. We clearly know that Quaresma is a talent and he's reputation has not suffered from not being picked for the Portuguese World Cup squad and should be to the lions benefit this season. The captain's armband seems to really suit him. Alongside him the youngster Felicíssimo hasn't put a foot wrong against Celtic, Strasbourg or tonight against Monaco. 

It's interesting that the neighbours fans seem ready to implode after their 2-1 loss to St Gallen on Thursday night in the Europa League qualifiers. You have to hope they turn it around one for the Portuguese co-efficient and two so their season is tied up playing Thursday to Sunday or Monday. You don't want them with no European football although would they then find themselves in the Conference League? I've no idea. So maybe option three if that is an option. 

Talk this week that Virgínia is set to leave. Rui Silva late to join training after the World Cup but João hasn't put a foot wrong in the three games I've seen him play and whenever he has appeared I can't think of him ever having really done anything wrong between the sticks. I've not been at all impressed with Callai when I've seen him for Sporting B. We'll see how the goalkeeping situation unfolds before the end of the transfer window. 

Vagiannidis still feels like a project that isn't ever going to really work. We clearly need Fresneda to be back to full fitness to claim back his starting role and I think Maxi is suspended for the first game of the season so they'll need to step up their search for their replacement for Mangas. But even with Inácio and Debast watching on from the stands, Diomande set to depart, Ba not yet fit, I'd not be overly worried if they started with Quaresma and Felicíssimo against Estrela on Matchday 1. Presumably we'll see Inácio come in against Forest next week or at least gain some minutes. 

Nice to see Pedro Gonçalves at least get a send off for all he's done as a lion. We're definitely entering a new era but that's not a bad thing. For all their achievements they won nothing last season and the loss to Torreense is a stain. Very few players came out with any credit and only Luis Suárez sat on his haunches, shirt pulled up to cover his face looked genuinely upset at the loss. If Gonçalves is bitter than I'm sure €10m a season for two years in Saudi Arabia is going to soften that blow for him. I don't think he's been anywhere near the player he once was since the injury against Braga in Amorim’s last ever game in charge. That desire to put in one last performance for the mister and in reality it curtailed his career ever since. He has the pace of Sebastián Coates which is not a good thing. I wish him well.

Another good performance from Doumbia and again we're watching him have a positive effect in both final thirds and in the centre of the park. A quieter game from Altimira before he was withdrawn but again no complaints with how he slots into the unit and screens the ball. We've seen time and time again how just with their position they've forced their opponents back into their own half from the lions final third. 

Maxi Araújo a yard or two short of where he needs to be. Maybe a little fortunate not to pick up two bookings. I'd have been bemoaning the decisions if it went the other way so best to be honest about these things I guess. Zalazar again certainly looks like he's got some chops but he's in the same boat as Araújo in terms of fitness and with him he’s learning how to fit into a new setup but still a positive performance and I'm looking forward to watching him over the course of the season. Really pleased to see Nel get on the scoresheet. For all the talent we produce from the academy we never seem to be able to produce a decent forward. Well I say that, perhaps we did with Alfonso Moreira and then we sold him for some magic beans. I'm thinking more Tiago Tomas and Rodrigo Ribeiro. I'm certainly more confident that Nel may have a more fruitful future with the lions and with Luis Suárez sat watching on in the stands you feel he'll have a part to play on Matchday 1. 

The real test of pre-season will come against Premier League opponents Nottingham Forest next week who've started life well under their new mister Oliver Glasner. They've Rio Ave and SC Vitória to play before they meet us so they'll be enjoying the Portuguese sun for the next seven days at least. I should have looked at the temperature in Lisboa tonight because even the Portuguese lads looked baked during the game. Mind you Monaco is on the French coast so it's not like theyre not used to fine weather in addition. 

Fleeting moments from Geny and Silas when he came on. Again like Doumbia he seems sharp to a tackle and a real attacking threat. If you can get 8-10 goals apiece from both players in support of the forwards then I'll be happy. Great goal from Derry. The only complaint is that the keeper didn't move which makes it look somehow less spectacular a finish than it was but in reality that's a misnomer because he left him watching the ball go into his net which was a sign of what a quality finish it was. We didn't really see much from Fresneda, Lima and Dias when they came on. Flávio Gonçalves again with a good 45 minutes. Perhaps he's saving his first senior goal for a game that counts? 

So in the end the scoreline probably flattered the visitors. Flávio Gonçalves should have put his effort away, Geny hit the post, Silas hit the bar. No efforts on target until the 89th minute speaks volumes. I think they maybe had six attempts overall. We don't get the luxury of the end of game statistics here in the UK. Once that final whistle is done they're onto the next coverage. Plus two penalty shouts not given against Geny and Nel. 

So four choices for man of the match - Eduardo Quaresma number one. He really impressed me again. His quality on the ball, his ability to carry it out the box, key challenges inside the area to stop the danger and he looks good with the captain's armband on all contributing factors. Luis Guilherme gets vote number two. He had a fantastic second half. His quality of crossing was really good it must be said especially with the ball for the opening goal. I think the lad is a confidence player and being in a country where everyone speaks the language even if Portuguese Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese have differences, it must make his life so much easier day to day. I think he's going to push Geny every inch of the way for the starting berth wide right which can only be good for the club. Third vote goes to Rafael Nel. The quality wasn't always there in fairness to the youngster, his pass earlier on was wayward when the lions broke forward and could have opened the scoring but he was certainly industrious and battling and we need all types of keys to unlock doors. The key to being a good forward is being in the right place at the right time to score the goals and he did exactly that. Fourth choice maybe a little harder because you had a series of little cameos across the game. Derry with his goal, Silas looked good coming on defensively and offensively as did Doumbia before him. Flávio Gonçalves again had a good 45, Edu did well in defence. I'm struggling to find the one thing that tipped them over the scale for me. So maybe we'll leave the fourth vote and just go with my man of the match. Question is can you give it to a player who was on for 45 minutes compared to the 90? It's an ethical question. Yeah probably not, so captain Quaresma is my man of the match. 

We'll see you back for the Forest game next Friday.

Post match correction - Sack the internet and football apps, Nottingham Forest B played Rio Ave a couple of days ago behind closed doors.
