Chief among them was the lively display from Eliesse Ben Seghir, who impressed despite missing a penalty in this first friendly.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Providing plenty of attacking spark through his technical quality, intelligent movement and slick dovetailing with teammates, the Moroccan international was a constant menace to the Belgian side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Such a force and so dynamic on the dribble, he showcased his wonderful array of skills, including nifty turns, feints, shimmies and shrewd changes of pace and direction, as he was a major asset for H\u00fctter\u2019s team going forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ben Seghir&#8217;s unpredictability, coupled with his classy first touch and elite ball control, presented a formidable challenge for defenders, who often resorted to fouls in their attempts to contain him. Two standout examples were when he won a free-kick he nearly scored from and when he earned the spot-kick he frustratingly had saved.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-1-superb-driving-run-to-win-his-penalty-1024x575.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-304586\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-1-superb-driving-run-to-win-his-penalty-1024x575.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-1-superb-driving-run-to-win-his-penalty-534x300.jpeg 534w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-1-superb-driving-run-to-win-his-penalty.jpeg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Superb driving run to win his penalty<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>So press resistance and tough to dispossess due to his impressive balance, ability to ride challenges and underrated strength, this added to his nuisance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His tidy passing elevated his playmaking prowess, for not only did he play some incisive progressive through balls and vertical line-breaking passes, but he also engaged in some neat combination play to breathe life and tempo into attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The livewire\u2019s movement was also instrumental, with him often drifting infield to get dangerous between the lines, in the half spaces and into true central midfield areas to supplement his high and wide stationing, with his inside ventures allowing him to create numerical and positional superiorities to help ASM progress. His indenting notably created room for Caio Henrique to surge ahead on the overlap to horizontally and vertically stretch the opposition backline as well.<\/p>\n\n\n<div

is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Equipped with all the tools to become a genuine star and with the club keen to keep him, it\u2019ll be intriguing to see if he remains with the Principality club given the heavy

He played more than 2,000 minutes, which is a lot. He scored lots of goals and made lots of assists. It is our job too to show that the plan is going on. A football career is a process, not an act,\u201d AS Monaco CEO Thiago Scuro said in a recent press conference on how H\u00fctter utilised Ben Seghir.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe is a special talent, a special player.

It is our intention that he stays.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Champions League football and the 2026 World Cup on the horizon next season, all eyes will be on Ben Seghir\u2019s future.
