Niko Kovac (Monaco) after the draw against Reims: “I know it will turn out”
Niko Kovac (Monaco coach, after the 0-0 draw in Reims): “We worked well defensively, because Reims did not have many chances. We had a good game for 75 minutes and we put the pressure in the last 15, but we only had one chance at the end of the game. (Kevin Volland’s). We would have liked to win the match, it was our ambition, but with one big opportunity, it’s difficult to win.
As I always say, if you can’t win, you have to know not to lose, even if you are not satisfied with this one point taken. At the moment, it’s very difficult to get chances and score goals, but we have to continue to believe in it and have faith in ourselves. We retain the positive, our defensive strength. On the other hand, the other teams in front of us do not win all their matches and it remains very tight. With 18 points, we are in the middle of the table and everything can change quickly. I believe in this team, in its abilities and I know it will work out. “
Alexandre Nübel (Monaco goalkeeper): “There weren’t a lot of chances on both sides. I did everything to get this ” clean sheet ”, with this stop (on a free kick from Mathieu Cafaro). In the second half, Reims pressed higher and gave us more problems, we struggled to find solutions to score. It’s a draw, we’re happy with that. It’s difficult, on has played three games in a week. We have to put even more passion into scoring and winning. On one played higher than against the PSV and on a everything done to try to impose itself. We are always motivated, morale in the locker room is very good. We will work for two weeks to resume combat. “
