Ranieri remarked, “It’s not possible to win every match!” This statement has irked many supporters and management, as it may be interpreted as downplaying the expectation of consistent success.
Despite the draw, Ranieri acknowledged the team’s performance, particularly in the first half. He highlighted the positive aspects of the game, such as playing well on the sides and creating opportunities. However, he noted that in the second half, there was nervousness and a rush for a goal, leading to imprecise passes and personal initiatives.
Ranieri also commented on the challenging atmosphere without spectators due to a closed session, expressing that players are accustomed to the support of the public. He acknowledged the defensive nature of the opposing team, similar to the previous season in Ligue 2, and stated overall satisfaction with the performance, even though the team could have lost in the end.
Despite being at the top of the standings, Ranieri emphasized that being first is not the most important aspect at this point in the season. The statement has sparked discussions about expectations and ambitions for Monaco under Ranieri’s leadership.
