Monaco v PSG: Teze highlights the positives and key to the comeback | OneFootball

This Tuesday, as part of the first leg of the 2025-2026 Champions League playoffs (return on February 25), Paris Saint-Germain faced AS Monaco at Stade Louis II. Jordan Teze, a 26-year-old defender from the Monaco team, stopped in the mixed zone after Paris's 2-3 victory (Monaco/PSG video summary). 

Teze "It's not so bad to concede only one goal in the second half."

Regrets or a rather positive result after the red card to keep hope alive?

It's a bit of both. I think we deserved more, but if you look at the second half, it was difficult with 10 men. At the start of the match, we played really well. Scoring 2 goals like that was ideal. It's not so bad to concede only one goal in the second half.

Hope for the return leg, is there something to do in Paris?

Yes, of course. Otherwise, there's no point in going.

Everything went well at the start of the match, how to explain it?

We really utilized the qualities of Balogun and Akliouche, we know Balo is very fast.

Teze "For him, we're going to win at the Parc."

A word to Golovin after the red card?

No, he already knew it wasn't good. He didn't do it on purpose. He knows we're not happy. For him, we're going to win at the Parc.

What will be the plan?

Win the match (smile).

Teze "They must not be comfortable."

What did the coach say? On what point should we focus against Paris?

He said not to give them space, they must not be comfortable. We have to go all out and play deep transitions. We did that to score 2 goals. Unfortunately, we also conceded 2 goals in the first half.

What do you think when Dembélé goes off but Doué comes on?

If you have the luxury to bring on Doué, it's not bad honestly (smile). Ousmane is the Ballon d'Or, Désiré Doué is a bit less but he still missed twice!

Did Doué change the game?

Yes, he scored twice, he's a very good player. He plays with the French national team, it's not easy to play in that team.
