AS Monaco played to a 0-0 draw in a recent Ligue 1 match against Toulouse, and Eric Abidal, the team’s defender and captain, expressed his disappointment in an interview with the club’s website.
Abidal mentioned the challenge they faced against a team employing a five-man defense and acknowledged the difficulty of breaking through. He stated, “We knew how to put them in difficulty because we had worked for it during the week.” However, in the second half, Abidal noted that the team may have tried to make a difference too quickly, expressing regret over not securing a win at home.
He compared the match to a previous encounter with Montpellier, a team known for its challenging style of play. Abidal acknowledged that Monaco can expect similar matches throughout the season and emphasized the importance of learning from such experiences. Looking ahead, he mentioned preparing for a different opponent in Marseille and highlighted the need to study them well and play to Monaco’s strengths
