AS Monaco won a tough victory against AJ Auxerre (2-1) on fourth day of Ligue 1. After the game, coach Adi Hütter stressed the importance of young players in this success, expressing his satisfaction with the beginnings of Aladji Bamba and the goal of George Ilenikhena. He stated that this victory reflects the team’s game philosophy and is proud of the club’s Academy. This performance allows Monaco to temporarily climb on the podium, in third place while waiting for the LOSC match against the TFC.
Denis Zakaria, also present at the press conference, highlighted the team’s determination to take the three points. He highlighted the positive impact of the incoming players, including George Ilenikhena, and recognized the quality of the Auxerre team, able to pose problems with its counter-attacks. Zakaria felt, however, that there were still room for improvement and that the team would continue to work to achieve better results.
An AS Monaco supporter shared his analysis of the game, expressing disappointment at the lack of fluidity in the team’s game, particularly in defence. He identified Flo Bamba as the best player and Ouattara and Salisu as the most disappointing, highlighting a lack of defensive cohesion. He rated the coach 2/10 and expressed his commitment to the club by maintaining his membership, while regretting not being able to attend all matches due to personal constraints.
