It is with this state spirit that Jordan Teze, author of two goals and an assist this season, presented himself at a press conference, two days before this meeting. Excerpts. ????️
We work a lot and we particularly analyze the videos of the last meetings to see what was wrong in order to improve. We know that the opponents will adapt to our game, so we have to find little details to surprise them more.
Jordan ThesesDetails to improve
The current dynamic
We are AS Monaco and we therefore have to win a lot of matches. We know that December was not very good but we are looking forward. We are now focused on the next trip to Nantes on Friday, it is the most important.

The top of the ranking
We know that we are 10 points behind Paris and 3 behind Marseille now. We are aiming for second place in order to return to the Champions League next season but we are not looking back. To do this, we will have to put pressure on OM by imposing ourselves.
Three trips to come
It will be good preparation for the Champions League. There will be no easy match but we are going there to win every time. It's true that we will be traveling a lot, it can be difficult for the body, that's why we will do lighter training in order to avoid injuries. After Nantes which we play on Friday, we will have time to rest until Reims.
The Champions Trophy scenario
It was a great match against a great team. We could have won a cup, because I think we played well. The scenario was a little difficult with this goal taken at the last minute. We will therefore analyze to see what we can do better in the next matches.

I am a versatile person, capable of playing right back, central defender or in the middle. I was ready and I felt good because I had played this position before. So it wasn't really new. I made an assist, scored a goal and caused a penalty, so I was happy with myself.
Jordan ThesesHis entrance in the middle
His entry into midfield
We talked about this possibility before the Cup match, where I played in midfield in the second half. I am a versatile person, capable of playing right back, central defender or in the middle. I was ready and I felt good because I had played this position before. So it wasn't really new. I made an assist, scored a goal and caused a penalty, so I was happy with myself.
His first months
Not playing a lot was a bit hard but when we play Monaco we know there are great players in all positions. It's up to me to show my abilities and prove that I am the best in my position to be able to play, I have adapted better in any case.
(The red card against Lille?) It was hard because I am convinced that we could win. It was a stupid mistake and not necessary, but it's football, it's something that can happen.
Defensive animation
We work on it every week because we know that defensive animation is important. We have the ability to score in every game, so if we keep a clean sheet we will have a better chance of winning behind.
