Julien Stéphan, the coach of Strasbourg, confided his feelings after the defeat of his team against Monaco (1-2) this Saturday: "
The end of the match is an emotional lift.
We thought we had done the hardest part by equalizing but unfortunately, for a few centimeters, it was against us.
Even in difficulty, the guys didn't give up, we came up against a very strong team, very ready on a physical level, very powerful, capable of gaining a lot of meters with the ball at their feet, of attacking the depth with a lot of speed.
It takes a lot of energy to be able to defend.
But we, too, knew how to create movements, we had situations.
It could have paid off.
We had three big chances in the last two minutes, between the disallowed goal and the chances of Adrien Thomasson and Gerzino Nyamsi.
It didn't smile on us, it's a shame.
It's only the first day.
We will have to use what happened today.
