Amine Harit: “We all want to end well”
It is a pride and a lot of emotion. Playing a World Cup with your country is indescribable. It will be necessary to give a good image of the car of Morocco on a quality team.
A selection goes through good club performances. I feel good here. We must not rest on what we have learned, I must perform well with Morocco and with OM of course.
Clauss is disappointed, it’s normal. He’s been called regularly lately and not being called… He understands. Matteo and Jordan celebrated calmly as we are focused on Sunday’s game.
We must not think of the World Cup and play the shots thoroughly. If we hold back, that’s where we get hurt.
The coach congratulated me for what I was doing with OM. I can play left or right in Morocco’s two systems.
It’s the last week before the cut. We are still on a good match against Lyon with a major success to get back together. There is one game left and it is better to leave with a victory. We will have peace of mind if we win.
Payet is a professional. On and off the pitch, he remained the same. He wants to play, he is involved. We are all together. He stays in the team spirit and that’s the most important thing.
We go to the World Cup to get out of the pools.
I have to work to be more decisive. I canceled on the last months on other aspects, defensive and tactical. It will come, it will be easier once the first but marked.
If we’re mediocre in the second half but we win, that’s fine with me… There’s a lot of energy in the first half. We try to kill the match in the first period.
Monaco is the perfect match before the break. He has been more successful for us in recent years. We are just ahead of the standings. We remain on a victory against Lyon, which is a rival. We are full of confidence. We will be keen to play a big match before the World Cup breaks.
It was long, physically and mentally taxing. But it was handled well. There are few injuries. There is turnover. We all want to end well.
The two days after Tottenham were tough mentally. The best way to get back into it was to win against Lyon. We were not at peace because the frustration was great. We have killed evil with evil. Mentally, we set the record straight.
Igor Tudor: “The key to success is quality work”
It’s great to be able to play in a World Cup. I am very happy for Matteo and Jordan. I spoke with Jonathan and told him that he should take it as a challenge to prove to the coach that he was wrong.
It’s a whole month. We will do the first part in Marseille and we will leave for ten days in Spain. There will be friendly matches.
I don’t know what image I give at a press conference. I’m just trying to do his job. When people come to the stadium, they see how the team plays. That is what matters. The performance of the team is a reflection of the coach. Everything else is made up. It’s smoke, it’s not real and it’s not important.
The team must entertain, must provide emotions to the supporters. It is the key to my work. Playing a rotten match and winning is not the goal of my job. The foot goes in that direction.
I am someone who wants to win, victory is the most important choice.
The match in Monaco is not a key match. 38 days ago, it’s a marathon not a sprint. It’s a good game, a derby. There will be plenty of games to play afterwards.
We work on the details, on the concrete things. Today, we did a training session that I really enjoyed. The key to success is quality work.
All the players called up for selection, I congratulated them on Whatsapp but they replied “thank you, but there is a match to be played on Sunday. »
I’ll talk about it when it’s official. Gerson will not be in the squad this weekend.
I don’t look at the rankings. I take a quick look at it. There are three points to take against a direct competitor, it is perhaps a little more important than usual.
The cut is important especially for friendly matches which allow you to test things. I don’t plan to change my system. With Clauss and Tavares who are high level pistons, I do not see myself changing the system.
At 3 or 4, that’s not what counts. It is the interpretation of the system that makes the difference. It’s the intention you have during the match that counts.
Everyone really tapped into their potential. Balerdi deserves to have selections with his national team. He is fast, he reads the game well, I am very satisfied.
We will see for the transfer window. If there are possibilities, we will do, but if not, we will do nothing…
