We need to be more positive. The match has not started, we are not down 2-0. I am convinced that we have the means to do great things against Monaco. Once again, if I can add anything, I will call the Vélodrome for help on Saturday. If we have to be whistled, let it be at the end of the match. I hope the stadium will be on fire and will push us for the duration of the match.
Monaco can hurt offensively, they are very strong in the last 20 meters. But it's not a perfect team either. They can be put in difficulty when they don't have the ball. We can do it!
Obviously the players who will be on the pitch against Monaco will have one head, two arms, two legs. We must not feel sorry for ourselves, we must not be defeatist. Whether we lose or win, we must continue to move forward.

We know that they will have absentees but the players present will also be good, notably Aubameyang, Vitinha or Veretout. We will have to play a perfect match, we have prepared the team well for that. We will have to be careful defensively and be sharp in quick transition to come away with the three points.
…DEFENSIVE SYSTEM
Last match, I made several changes at the back after the Reims match where I was not happy. The match was rather positive on that point. We will also be able to count on the return of Mohammed, who will be present in the group.Chrislain was also very good overall. We have a lot of young players, who sometimes perform well, sometimes not. That's part of the process.
…LEAGUE TABLE
There are some differences between the two parts of the first half of the season. It's factual, we took seven points less. The coaches analyze us more, we have more absentees, but we're not looking for apologies. This is the process, we work hard at the Performance Center and we have to prepare for the big meetings to come.
