AS Monaco coach Adi Hütter approached the clash against Olympique Marseille with determination.
After a frustrating setback in the Riviera derby against Nice last week (0-1), AS Monaco has no time to think. The Principality club is back at it again against another historic rival from the Mediterranean, Olympique de Marseille. A necessarily special match against an opponent who has just changed coach.
In the Monegasque ranks, there is no question of dwelling on the turbulent context of OM to address this shock. “ I don’t want to comment on what’s happening at Olympique de Marseilleexplained Adi Hütter. My focus is on our situation. What I can say is that Gennaro Gattuso was a very good football player, an Italian international who was World Champion in 2006. He was a very aggressive environment. It’s not easy to prepare for this match, not really knowing how your team will play. But we will have to focus on ourselves and our philosophy. »
Monaco wants to react quickly
Despite this uncertainty, AS Monaco is ambitious. Adi Hütter sent the message that his players had the teeth to bounce back quickly. “ OM is one of the best clubs in France. They will want to show their new coach that they are good players. But I have to say that it also depends a lot on us and our ability to develop our game. What is certain is that we want to show a reaction after the defeat in the Derby against Nice. This is a great opportunity to reactr,” he concluded. The Marseillais have been warned.
