Jean-Eudes, what does this victory represent?

It does good, we are in continuity with what we are doing at the moment. We are happy to have taken three points here because we know that Monaco is a good team and it is difficult to come and win there.

You mastered the first period perfectly. Was that the plan?

Yes, we respected the game plan perfectly. We knew that we were going to have situations to project ourselves forward and that's what we did. We had opportunities, we seized them, we were able to score this goal which did us good.

“Coming back here is a special emotion”

After Saint-Etienne last week, Monaco now: have you decided to score against all your former teams?

(Smile) These are matches against good teams. Return here (under contract between 2018 and 2022 at ASM, he played the first season there before being loaned for one year to Saint-Etienne then two to )it's a special emotion and winning makes it even more enjoyable.

Tell us about this magnificent goal…

We are in a good position, we recover the ball in the line of play, we quickly project ourselves forward, I see Jim (Allevinah) on the side, I put it to him and he hits. He is blocked and as I am well placed in the axis, he gives it to me. I take my chance and it's a great goal. Immediately, I make the decision to strike because I see that he puts it back on target and I am all alone. I have the frame in front of me. As I am left-handed, I try to take it on the outside with my foot so that it is further from the goalkeeper.

Coming back to the game plan, what did you do well to thwart Monaco's plans?

The game plan was the one we have had for a few matches now: stay in place, close the axis and quickly project forward. We are doing it well, with a good state of mind in the team so we are very happy. Monaco has very skilled player profiles within the game, it was a strength that we had to master. We did it pretty well. We are rewarded.
