As the Champions League battle rages on ahead of Monaco's trip to Arsenal, defender Tillo Correll delves into an in-depth discussion on a range of topics.
Correll began by pointing out the key role of set-pieces in the game, emphasizing that the team is well prepared for them. He pointed out that set-pieces often make the difference between victory and defeat, and that the team needs to stay focused and inject key elements to create problems for the opponents. However, he also admitted that the team could not control the number of set-pieces and needed to remain vigilant throughout the game.
Speaking about the opponent Arsenal, Correll assessed it as a formidable opponent, emphasizing that the team needs to be physically and mentally prepared and pay attention to every detail. He believes that Arsenal will be eager to dominate all aspects of the field, so Monaco will need to tighten up their defense, put pressure on them, and take advantage of their chances. Despite the strength of their opponents, Correll is convinced that every game has its own uniqueness and Monaco will be brave enough to show their style.
Regarding the injured and missing players, Correll said that the team is aware of their importance, but at the same time believes in having a strong team and quality players to compensate for this loss. He emphasized that the team will find a solution to achieve an outstanding performance.
Talking about the pressure, Correll pointed out that the pressure comes from within the team and the team's ambition. He wants to show Monaco's style of play with the coaching team and achieve good results. Even though the team has gained 10 points, he said that he still wants to do better to improve their results.
Speaking about Arsenal again, Correll reiterated that it is a strong team, especially at home. He said that Monaco is not without desire and the team is always eager to win. Although Arsenal are considered favorites, Correll is confident that Monaco will play their game bravely and give it their all.
In addition, Correll recalled Monaco's victory over Barcelona as a demonstration of the team's collective cooperation and individual level. He emphasized that Monaco has high-level players who, when working collectively, can create difficulties for any team.
Finally, Correll talked about the character traits of his teammates Salisu and Singo and said that the team has analyzed the reasons for their poor defense against Benfica and Marseille, pointing out individual mistakes. He emphasized the need for the team to always pay attention to defense and to do it in a collective way, believing that Monaco can do better.
