This Saturday against Toulouse, Breel Embolo found the net again, he who had not scored since the defeat in Nice (1-2, October 27)almost a month and a half. For this meeting, the Swiss striker notably sported a new haircut, which caused a lot of talk. At the microphone of beIN Sportshe was first questioned in a playful tone after his headed goal: “ Everyone told me. I had this hairstyle for 3-4 years. I wanted to change something. It was time, I did it and I'm glad if it brought me luck. »
On a more serious tone, Embolo spoke of his difficulties in scoring and a certain lack of patience compared to what he endured last year: “ I try to give everything and people quickly forget that I'm coming off a big injury and that I made the Euro and that I continued. I'm happy to be on the pitch, to play, to get minutes and marks. It's true that I'm missing 4-5 goals, but I had the chances. I have a good team around me, good staff, that's why I'm always positive. I know my qualities and I continue to work. »
This Saturday, Monaco had to do without Soungoutou Magassa, injured in the left hip, and Denis Zakaria, replaced at the last moment due to a thigh problem: “ An injury never happens at the right time, commented Zakaria’s compatriot. We will miss Zak' but we are a good team. He will do everything to come back as quickly as possible. We have a good medical staff. There are a lot of young people, like Eliot Matazo, who had a great match. We are a good team, it is up to us to compensate for the lack of our captain. Today we did well and we hope to continue like that. »
