Claudio Ranieri expressed his satisfaction after Monaco secured a 2-0 victory against Bordeaux in the first match of the Ligue 1 championship. The coach emphasized the importance of the two goals but cautioned against drawing conclusions too early in the season.
Ranieri shared his observations, stating, “The two goals are important, but I think it’s too early to talk about anything else. I was very curious to see my team against Bordeaux, which is a good team with strong, tall players who play good, very compact football on the counterattack. It’s a good start for Monaco because it’s the first match in Ligue 1 against a big team. The first period was very good, the second was 50/50, but in the end, Rivière made the difference. I want to wait for the other matches against the other teams to see our behavior.”
Ranieri’s cautious optimism reflects an awareness of the long season ahead and a desire to evaluate Monaco’s performance against a variety of opponents.
