New holder under the orders of Philippe Clement, Wissam Ben Yedder (31 years old, 26 games and 15 goals in L1 this season) had lost his place with former coach Niko Kovac. A difficult period for the AS Monaco striker who remained professional until the end.
“It was a bit of a delicate period, confided the Monegasque to Prime Video. But in life, there are always complicated moments, moments of doubt. I’m never happy when I’m a substitute. For me, the he idea was to come in and be ready for the match, to be focused, not to think about whether he played me or not. When we started the match, I was focused with my teammates. even if I was not a beginner. I managed to score when he brought me in, to be a bit of a luxury joker.
“I didn’t focus on that, I analyzed everything, I looked at the placements, the game and I didn’t pay attention to the outside. I focused on myself. At times, I was not happy but when I came on, I was in the game with my teammates. That’s what allowed me to score and create chances. And even as a starter, I try to have that mentality. But it’s it’s always better to start”, concluded the French international.
