Here we go again ! Three days after the great success against Trabzonspor in the Europa League (3-1), the Monegasques return to Ligue 1 this Sunday, with a trip to the Stade de la Mosson to face Montpellier. On the eve of this paying meeting for the 10th day, the German goalkeeper Alexander Nübel appeared at a press conference. Extracts.
The current good momentum
We hear better and better, and automatisms are being created in the field. The summer transfer window, which was quite calm, allowed us to work well together and to get to know each other. Small black dot all the same, we concede a little too many goals for my taste, but that’s just my opinion (laughs)! But yes, we have been on a very good dynamic for some time, and the team has found its rhythm.
I play every week, I regained confidence, rhythm, it’s only happiness. I try to do my best, but I can still improve!
About his current form
His form and his goals in the national team
I feel good here ! I am fulfilled. My beginnings were not easy, it took me time to acclimatize. Over time, I know my teammates better and vice versa. It makes things easier in the field. What is certain is that II am no longer the same guardian as when I arrived.
I play every week, I regained confidence, rhythm, it’s only happiness. I try to do my best, but I can still improve! As for the selection, I don’t really think about it. I just want to play the best I can. Today, I’m only thinking of AS Monaco and we’ll see later!
He has the potential to be among the ten best goalkeepers in Europe. Thanks to his work and his concentration, he has grown a lot in several sectors in the last six or seven months.
About Alexander Nübel
The Mohamed Camara-Youssouf Fofana duo
They play very well, at a very good level and give us a lot of confidence. It’s a big advantage for the team. Mo’ is a new player but it feels like he’s been around for years! We must not forget that we are also lucky to be able to count on Jean Lucas and Eliot Matazo, who are also very good. We have a talented midfielder!
The return match against Trabzon
It’s the kind of match that makes us grow, with the atmosphere and the challenge that there will be. Playing the Europa League and more generally a European competition, helps enormously to progress. We want to play this kind of meetings!
