Claudio Ranieri expressed his satisfaction after Monaco secured a 2-0 victory against Bordeaux in the first match of the championship. Eric Abidal, who made his comeback in the French championship, also shared his contentment with the team’s performance.
Abidal, the captain of AS Monaco, remarked, “The two periods were very different, very fast in the first, very wait-and-see in the second. The coach had given the order to rotate the ball, it’s good to have possession and to be so effective. We created a lot of chances in the first half. The second goal dealt a massive blow to Bordeaux. Make an impression? No doubt by the result, we know that we are eagerly awaited. It’s the start of the championship, it’s important to get a good away victory. The season is going to be long, we have a difficult match against Montpellier. It’s always good to start, especially for foreigners because it allows you to adapt very quickly.”
