Two days from the Ajaccio reception at the Stade Louis-II (5:05 p.m.), on behalf of the last day of the first leg, the Monegasque goalkeeper appeared at a press conference. Extracts.
His future in Monaco
It’s normal that there are rumors because I am on loan from Bayern to AS Monaco. I have a contract there until 2025. But I’m an AS Monaco player and that’s the most important thing. We have a second big part of the season which promises to be both complicated and exciting. For this, we have worked well during the preparation.
I’m only focused on the Club for the next few days and weeks because everyone is counting on me and wants to keep me. I am very happy to evolve here. It stops there. I will put all my energy into my performances in the next matches to continue to develop in my game.
I’m focused on winning games, that’s the most important stat, and getting clean sheets. The Expected Goals and the number of saves made don’t interest me that much. If I don’t concede a goal, we have a better chance of winning, especially since we have 28 consecutive games with at least one but scored.

The first goalkeeper in the number of saves made
I’m focused on winning games, that’s the most important stat, and getting clean sheets. The expected objectives and the number of stops made doesn’t interest me that much. If I don’t concede a goal, we have a better chance of winning, especially as we stay on 28 consecutive games with at least one goal Mark. It gives us more confidence and allows us to have a better connection between all of us. But obviously, I prefer that we win 2-1 rather than go 0-0.

His areas of progress
Already, I think that the opinion in a global way concerning me has evolved. Today, we know more about my style of play and the way I express myself. You know now that I am not spectacular since it is efficiency that simply counts.
However, I think that I still have to improve in communication with the rest of my team, and in particular on crosses, set pieces or aerial balls. I still have a margin at this level and I work every day with Frederic De Boever, goalkeeper coachas well as with my teammates in this position in order to improve myself.
The face to face won against Terem Moffi
This is part of a through ball from Enzo Le Fée for Terem Moffi. The latter is in a duel with Guillermo, who manages to keep him under pressure until the end. This allowed me to prepare well and wait as much as possible before moving. He then shot me and I was able to parade. It’s teamwork. On the other hand, on the goal, he had more leeway and was able to observe me more easily.
