Philip Clement
Monaco won today with a score of 4-0 against Clermont. This is the first victory for Philippe Clément since his arrival in place of Nico Kovac. A statement from the club relays what the coach said in a post-match press conference. The former Club Brugge manager and player says he saw “a lot of interesting things” in his men’s victory today.
As for the club’s situation in the standings, 5th with 33 points tied with Lens and one point behind Rennes, Philippe Clément declared that he did not particularly attach importance to the points which separateASM of their opponents. According to him, you have to take it “match by match”. “We have to work hard every day and keep playing ambitious because when you work hard you get the points you deserve.”
The tactician was also questioned about the fact that he used several different tactical systems during the match. According to him, this has paid off and can be interesting for the next matches.
“The system put in place depends first of all on the players available and, at the moment, we are missing a few of them. Despite this, the game produced in the first half was not bad at all, and it was still better in second, so it will be interesting to see the next games. I always want a team that can play in different systems in order to surprise the opponent, but the most important thing is to create chances and have a good defensive organization in the recovery of the ball”, he replied on this subject.
???? Satisfied with this victory, Coach @philippe_clemnt saw a lot of interesting things this afternoon.
