After a significant 5-2 win over FC Metz in Ligue 1, AS Monaco coach Adi Hütter expressed his satisfaction, stressing the importance of this success after the back of the previous week in the Champions League. He particularly praised the positive impact of the start-up of Ansou Fati, author of a double, and highlighted the fantastic work of the young player, who helped change the course of the game. Hütter also wished to congratulate Krépin Diatta, who was returning from injury, for his professionalism and character, as well as the entire team for having won the meeting despite a complex situation.
Hütter then approached the game time management of Ansou Fati, explaining that it is preferable to integrate it during the match, even if it is considered as a holder. This strategy allows it to gradually give it minutes and protect it after several past injuries. He stressed the importance of his patience and physical preparation to ensure his return to an optimal level. The coach insisted that it is always best to move the player forward gradually, taking into account his injury history.
Despite the victory, Hütter tempered his enthusiasm, recognizing that the team still has room for improvement. He pointed out that taking two goals against a team like Metz is not satisfactory and that the overall performance of the team leaves something to be desired. He also mentioned the difficulties encountered at the beginning of the game and the need to improve defensive strength. The coach insisted that the score should not be relied on alone and that the team must continue to work to reach its full potential.
