Sharp efficiency! By picking up a new big win with character away to Rennes (1-2), AS Monaco secured three crucial points to got top before PSG’s match this Sunday. After the match, coach Adi Hütter was quick to congratulate his players post-match.🎙️

Good evening coach. What did you think of tonight’s match?

Firstly I am very proud of my team. To talk about the match, we saw two different periods from our side, we put a lot of intensity in the first half and Rennes too. In the second we had some difficulties, as the minutes went by Rennes became stronger and stronger.

We are happy with what we are producing, because when you look at last season and especially the final sprint, we only conceded one defeat in 20 games, it was in Lyon (3-2).

Sometimes we were lucky, we defended in a low block, it’s not our usual style of play but it can happen in certain situations, depending on the opponent. But no matter, after seven games we have 19 points, so I’m really happy with this victory tonight!

We have to wait and see what happens tomorrow, but for the moment we are at the top of the table. We are happy with what we are producing, because when you look at last season and especially the final sprint, we only conceded one defeat in 20 games, it was in Lyon (3-2). We have showm a certain consistency in our matches and for that I am very happy with this young team. But it is only the beginning of the season!

It was a successful week for you!

Yes, it was a great week for us. We were lucky twice by scoring goals in the last minute (against Montpellier and Zagreb, editor’s note), but the squad trust each other and believe in themselves.

There is also the mentality that changed the game, the players play until the referee’s final whistle, that’s how we were able to score goals at the end of the match. In any case, tonight we can be happy with our first half, it is close to our playing philosophy.
