“Success does not turn on our side” underlines Clément after the defeat of Monaco
The Monaco coach reacted following the defeat of his men at home to Reims this Sunday (0-1).
Philippe Clément (coach of Monaco, beaten 1-0 by Reims): “He lacked efficiency on both sides. He also missed the chance. We hit the posts twice. Right now, success is not on our side. Against a well organized team, we had enough chances to score first. And on a transition, we take this goal. Then we pushed to equalise. But it lacked efficiency. Now we have to raise our heads and work hard. It’s a difficult time. We see less confidence in the players on the pitch. But if we score first, there is more confidence. There are individual things to review. I will discuss it with the players. Maripan? He had only played two practices. Now was not the time to take a risk. On goal, we can defend better, especially since we knew the quality of Balogun who always makes these ball calls. Nübel? He can do better on goal, but he was decisive on another block and made several saves.»
