Michal na product of Monaco youth academy, and e be one of di biggest attacking talents from dia system. E don play for di main team before, but e no really break through. Last season, dem loan am to FC Metz for di second half, but di spell no go well. E score no goal and no assist for di top flight, and Metz eventually comot for Ligue 1.
Despite dat, Michal don show say e get quality. E make im debut for Monaco in a 4-0 win against FC Nantes. E even play for di Champions League, including di match at Santiago Bernabéu against Real Madrid, though Monaco lose 6-1. E still be young, and e get time to develop.
For France youth teams, Michal don shine well well. E don score 11 goals in 38 youth internationals. For di U20 World Cup, e score five goals and help France reach fourth place. E be fast and technical, and e fit play on both wings. E dey always look for one-on-one situations, and e like to dribble.
