Eric Abidal, the West Indian defender and captain of Monaco, expressed his thoughts on the challenging match in an interview with Canal +. Abidal acknowledged the complexity of the game against a team with strong offensive capabilities but highlighted Monaco’s successful defensive strategies, especially on the flanks. He emphasized the importance of going for victory until the end and considered the match crucial at home to continue making a positive impact.
Abidal also emphasized the advantage of playing before other teams, putting pressure on them and creating a dynamic that contributes to Monaco’s success.
