The Monaco coach looked back on his team’s victory in Rennes on Saturday (1-2).
Despite the 19 points taken out of 21 possible by his team since the start of the season, Monaco coach Adi Hütter reminded his team on Saturday that “the championship was not a 100 meters” and that there were still many matches left.
Thanks to their rather controlled victory in Rennes (2-1) during the 7th day of Ligue 1, the Monegasques are at the top of the championship, even if Paris SG could overtake them on goal difference in the event of success on Sunday in Nice . “After seven matches we have 19 points, that’s the reality and the truth, and with that we are really happy”recognized the coach. But “the championship is not a 100 meter race, it is a 400 meter race and we started very well”he put things into perspective, when he was told that it was Monaco’s best start in a long time.
The way we defended our advantage was very important and I’m happy with that.

The Austrian technician preferred to highlight the consistency of his team over a longer period. “Since the end of last season, in 20 matches, we have only lost once, at Lyon. This shows that we have good consistency in our matches and we are really happy for our young team.he recalled. He also admitted that his team had to turn their backs and play against their nature during the second half at Roazhon Park. “We saw two very different periods, the first was very intense on our side (…) The second, we had a lot of difficulties (…) We had to defend in a low block, which is not our style of play, but sometimes it’s necessary. But, the way we defended our advantage, it was very important and I am happy with that.he also added.
