Radamel Falcao responded to the president of the club after the 16th day of the League featured the Mediterranean derby between Nice and Monaco. Nice, maintaining a peaceful flow, hosted Monaco, who are still contenders for the title. With two recent victories, Claudio Ranieri’s team has managed to stay within a respectable distance of Paris in the title race.
In the last match, Radamel Falcao was absent, providing an opportunity for Anthony Martial to shine, scoring his first goal in Ligue 1, along with James Rodriguez and his impressive free-kick contribution. Despite ongoing debates about the current performance of the Colombian striker, Monaco has a chance to climb the rankings.
Unfortunately, Falcao will be absent again for the derby against the close rival, having already missed the previous match against Rennes. In contrast, after being uncertain in recent days, Eric Abidal is expected to be back in the group. The French international defender, who was injured in the match against Rennes, is set to make his presence felt against Nice.
