Back in competition since October 18, the Monaco goalkeeper, author of two clean sheets in five appearances, spoke at a press conference on the eve of the trip to Strasbourg.
He's back! Returning from his injury at the end of the October international break, Radoslaw Majecki has since played five games in goal for AS Monaco, with two clean sheets upon arrival. But if the Rouge et Blanc perform well in the Champions League, the Polish goalkeeper now wants to get back on the path to success in Ligue 1. This is what he explained to the media, on the eve of the trip to Strasbourg (kick-off 5 p.m.). Excerpts ????️
On the pre-season
I started the preparation very well with the team, gaining more and more confidence in myself. But this injury to my right ankle happened, so I had to hang on for eight weeks without playing football, to come back. Now I am 100% recovered and ready to play all matches.
It has now been three years since I signed, and I have always felt good here, from the first day, which is why I wanted to extend my adventure with the Rouge et Blanc.

On his progress in recent years
I have always worked hard for this moment! It has now been three years since I signed, and I have always felt good here, from the first day, which is why I wanted to extend my adventure with the Rouge et Blanc. My goal is to show my qualities in every training session and in every match.
About the selection
Our national team has always had good goalkeepers, so it's difficult to be called up. I'm still waiting, even if I respect the coach's decision. There's not much more I can do. If I continue to progress in the club, then it will only be a matter of time, but nothing is given in life!
Among the list, I have known Martin (Bulka) since the youth categories, we were together in the under-14 and 15 selections. He's a top goalkeeper, he deserves his selection.
His best parade
I’m still waiting for it this season (smile)! Last season? I would say the overall performance against Lens in the Coupe de France last January. It was an incredible performance from my side and also for the team, there was a lot of pressure.
The turning point of his last season
I don't know if this match against Lens was a turning point, but my only goal was to win this Coupe de France match and to play as well as possible. When the coach told me that I was going to play there again in Ligue 1 this time, I was happy! I was waiting for this moment so I told him, “Let’s go, let’s do it as a team and win this game.” »
They are a complicated opponent who has a stadium in which there is a good atmosphere. We will concentrate and activate the Champions League mode like against Bologna.

Competition at the top of the table
When we are an ambitious team, we want to win every match we play. If we can be Paris Saint-Germain's competitor? You'll have to ask me that question later, it's still too early to talk about a battle for the title at this stage of the season. We'll talk about it again in May.
The reaction after Angers
Nobody likes to lose matches, whether for us or for the fans, so we want to put in a good performance against Strasbourg. But it won't be easy, they are a complicated opponent who has a stadium in which there is a good atmosphere.
Activate Champions League mode? We will have to be concentrated, like against Bologna. Fatigue? It's only the start of the season, we can't be tired (smile)! We're a professional team, it's normal to play one match after another!
On the analysis of opposing attackers
This is part of our preparation. We analyze every attacker on every team we face. Besides, I remember our match last season against them.
