AS Monaco continues. After the victory against Sturm Graz (1-0) in the Europa League and the draw in Nice (2-2) in the derby, the Red and White signed a great success against Saint-Etienne (3-1 ), this Wednesday on the occasion of the 7e Ligue 1 day. After this victory at the Stade Louis-II, Niko Kovac confided his satisfaction.
We are very happy, first of all for the team because we win and we lose together, but also for our attackers because the scorers always need confidence and to score. Today both scored. This is what we need.

A victory long to emerge
It’s football. Sometimes it’s easier eleven against eleven, but I saw a lot of good things, nice moves. It was a good game to watch for the spectators, a little less for the coaches, but it was important that we win because we can now focus on the expected deadlines. We played very well in the first half, despite a few small mistakes. My feeling is that at the moment we are our biggest opponent and that we have to reduce our small mistakes in order to have continuity. But Saint-Etienne also played a good game, congratulations to them.
The effectiveness of the duo “Yedderland”
We are very happy, first of all for the team because we win and we lose together, but also for our attackers because the scorers always need confidence and to score. Today both scored. This is what we need. Myron also had a very good game, he notably caused the red card. I’m happy to have such strikers and I’m sure they will score a lot again.

The impact of the bench
This is what I said to my players before the game during my talk. We have a very good squad and the “finishers” helped us win the match. We will have a lot of games this season and if you always play with the same starters, it’s difficult to achieve your goals. Today it worked and I hope it continues like this.
Little bridge. Corn.
