On the defeat in Lyon
Adi Hütter (Monaco): “We can lose in Lyon (2-3, Sunday), that’s not the problem. They are One of the best teams in Ligue 1, who are currently second in the return phase. But I was not satisfied with our first half, because we were too passive in the game and we made too easy mistakes. We had difficulty building, while they hurt us very badly in transition. We conceded three goals, it was too many.
It was better in the second half. But when you look at Alexandre Lacazette’s goal, we are in a five-on-two situation, we have to defend better. It wasn’t a bad match, but we could have had a better result. »
Player morale affected?
Hütter: “I didn’t feel that the players were affected mentally at all. We still remained on a series of eight matches without defeat. They remain focused, confident in their strengths. It’s also my role to push them. But there is no particular pressure, I want them to maintain their aggressiveness, and I am certain that we can win against Clermont. »
It’s true that it’s the last one who will face the second one. You might think it’s easy, but it’s not. One is fighting for the Champions League and the other for maintaining it. It’s a very important match for both teams, but Clermont is playing for its survival. We are the favorites on paper, but we must show it on the pitch and remain wary. »
