On the eve of the opposition between AS Monaco and Ferencváros in the Europa League (Thursday, 6.45 p.m.), Philippe Clément appeared at a press conference. The Belgian technician determined the progress of his team, equipped with more important automatisms, but also the quality of the Hungarian formation, first in its Championship.
3 consecutive wins, ongoing streak. In all competitions, Philippe Clément’s AS Monaco gave itself confidence by chaining victories against Nice (0-1), Red Star Belgrade (0-1) and OL (2-1) . What to calmly consider the reception of the Hungarian club Ferencváros, on behalf of the 2nd day of the Europa League? The Belgian technician observed great values in his group during the past week: solidarity, discipline, mental and physical strength, but not only. “There are also more and more automatisms. Which is normal with a new system and new players more and more integrated into the collective”he valued this Wednesday at a press conference.
A European course to launch for Monaco
Affirming to expect a “good opposition” against a Ferencvaros who also won in the first meeting in the competition against Trabzonspor (3-2), the former coach of Club Brugge advanced to a glowing analysis of his future adversary. “It’s a formation capable of dominating with good constructions. They are still dominant in the Hungarian league. They can also play in transition”he assured.
Back to a good level after his knee injury which occurred last November, Krépin Diatta, very prominent against OL last Sunday, has paved the way forward: “With two victories, your European journey is launched. It will not be enough to be sure of finishing first, but it gives a dynamic”. Place for action on the ground.
