Kovac (Monaco) after the defeat against OL: “We lost, but life goes on”
Niko Kovac, Monaco coach, beaten 2-0 in Lyon: “We respect Lyon, which is a very good team, very well organized. We had several players unavailable, for injuries and suspensions. That’s why we played 4-4-2. We were good defensively, but not enough with the ball. On a counterattack process. Lyon controlled the game, but was not very dangerous.
“The goal was to remain very compact, to reduce spaces. We missed a little something in the last gesture ”
There was this fact of the game, this penalty, which changes the game. The goal was to remain very compact, to reduce spaces. We missed a little something chosen in the last gesture. We have to work on these details, which could have allowed us to open the scoring. Paqueta is an extraordinary player, we have seen that again. He is capable of making differences, of changing the course of a match. It is a Ligue 1 which will be very tight, all season, behind Paris-SG. We have to roll up our sleeves, get up, after our undefeated streak. We lost, but life goes on. “- FLD
Ruben Aguilar, Monaco defender: “We are very disappointed because the result is bad. I am frustrated because we were defending well and we were well in place. There is not everything to throw away, in an important game on Thursday and we have to get back to work. We must not forget that OL are a very good team, nor is it a catastrophic car in any of the situations. We were in place and the penalty changed the game. We knew that it would be played on details. We felt that the entry of Paqueta had something to do with it. He is really a very good player, I saw that it has a certain euphoria, especially in the public. “- HG
