The 0-0s, even at home, do not all have the same flavor, like the one held by Monaco against Lille.
It is also, in a way, a leadership match that Monaco managed on Friday evening against Lille (0-0) by holding on to a draw with one less player during the last half hour. If PSG will take control (on goal difference) in the event of success on Saturday against Strasbourg, coach Adi Hütter wanted above all to be “very happy to have been very good with ten men, we didn’t see any difference and that That’s a good point.” The Austrian coach goes even further: “We were the best, we deserved to win.”
Hütter: “Really great, fantastic defensively”
It’s always difficult after an international break, Hütter recalls that many players only returned on Thursday. But he also knows that “it’s the same situation for Lille”: “We were only able to work for a quarter of an hour the morning of the match, so I’m particularly happy with our first 20 minutes. It was really great, fantastic defensively. We’re young and we have to be careful every weekend.”
From there to regret not having been able to prevail? Hütter, in fact, is not far from thinking so, however he insists above all on his satisfaction at having been more dangerous than LOSC given the scenario of this meeting. “We have to score more,” he nevertheless concedes in the face of finishing problems, thinking in particular of the Champions League where ASM must resume its march forward on Tuesday against Red Star (at 6:45 p.m.). “A lot of teams show us respect and we can’t win every game.” Krépin Diatta, hot on DAZN, was also in his superior’s idea: “We played the match we needed until we were reduced to ten.” It is clearly Monaco’s fault, too, if LOSC only shot three times, its lowest total since its victory in Paris (0-1) in 2021.
