“It's difficult, we are very disappointed“, admitted Monaco's Japanese midfielder Takumi Minamino, who also called on his team to “change your mindset” after the defeat on Friday in Montpellier (2-1). The Japanese international sounded the alarm four days before the match against the English Aston Villa in the Champions League, decisive for the rest of the competition.
“We will have to change our mindset quickly before Tuesday's match against Aston Villa. We will have to concentrate on each match, each training session. In a season, there are always complicated moments. But this time, the period we are going through is really very difficult“, he judged.
Is I am convinced that we will get out of this negative spiral

Currently, Monaco lacks efficiency both offensively and defensively according to striker Breel Embolo, who came on for the last half hour. “It's hard to find the words because we lost even though we had a very good first period. We're not going to make excuses, but at the moment it's not working in our favor. We will try to reverse the trend because at the moment we cannot be effective on both surfaces and we are being punished“, noted the Swiss international.
The Monaco striker, however, does not want to dramatize and calls for a quick turn of the page to focus on the European deadline. “We will try to forget this match and bring home a victory against Aston Villa. We are not far from our objectives, I am convinced that we will get out of this negative spiral” he said.
