Lucien Favre after Nice’s defeat against Monaco: “Not good with the ball, not good without the ball”
Lucien Favre, coach of Nice, beat 1-0 by Monaco: ” I am very disappointed. You can always lose a game. But we weren’t good with the ball, not good without the ball. No, Monaco was not stronger. We could have done 0-0. We lack possession, the sense of markdown too. We have to work on this. It is a set. We don’t offer enough play, deep play, markdown. You have to want the ball to keep it. But I don’t think it’s the fear of doing wrong. Maybe for some.
“If one player doesn’t do the job, it doesn’t work.
We knew they were starting in 3-4-3, I wanted us to press them to recover high. But for that, everyone has to work on recovering the ball. If one doesn’t do the job, it doesn’t work. The only game we won, on a 3-5-2 game. I wanted to play more attacking. It’s not great. (about Cologne in the Europa League Conference) It won’t be easy. Cologne is a very physical, very solid team. She had a good championship last year and this year she is off to a good start. They play two different systems. It’s very physical, with technical quality. But we play in four days. We will have time to recover. »
